I will add it in the future, as LN becomes easier and safer to use.

I dont think that LN is ever going to be safe or easy to use at all, it's pain the ass actually Tongue

And if anyone really wants to donate Lightning or any specific altcoin they can always contact you and ask for deposit address.
For me Monero is the best option for donation and for privacy, it's what money and p2p payment system should be, and it has very low transaction fees.

I don't think people will donate ethereum because fees are very high (usually higher than a donation).

Polygon is the way to go! You can move DAI USDT USDC or any stablecoin for less than $0.01

(bitmover, if you want to try this network I can send you some MATIC for the fees, just PM me your Polygon address)

Thank you paid2.

Yeah, there are too many second layer too.

I will add an ethereum address there and say that I can accept in other chains and layers and tokens too. I think it is a good idea!

Stable coins is indeed interesting, but there are so many options... usdt erc20, trn20, bep20, etc etc..

I don't know about Aqua Wallet, but some wallets will generate an identical address for ERC20, Bep20 etc... Perhaps it could be a significant relief during use, at least for donations, while the possibility of an error sending to the wrong chain would be reduced to a minimum.

Yeah, it is possible to do that with ethereum and bnb... not tron.

I know. Everyone wants a piece of the action. I would say stick to the two most popular versions, which are USDT on Tron and Ethereum. DAI is another viable option due to its inability to be censored and frozen by the issuer like all other stablecoins.

@bitmover
I have noticed that you accept bitcoin and liquid bitcoin for donations, but not transactions over the Lightning Network. Perhaps some people would donate over LN if that option existed. I know it's not popular, but consider adding a stablecoin as well. Whether we like them or not, they are a sizable share of the market.

I have not been able to generate a lightning network address yet
I have used some wallets like aqua which doesn't allow LN permanent addresses.

I will add it in the future, as LN becomes easier and safer to use.

The problem seems to appear very randomly and not that often. As soon as I hit a couple of refreshes the page loaded up fine to me afterwards and hasn't stop since. Probably has to do with some extensions that I use as well, like others said.

Here is an idea: copy the code you posted and paste it into ChatGPT. Ask it to analyze the code and explain what it says and what could be causing it. Maybe the AI bot could shed some more light on it. From what I know, ChatGPT can read and generate code.

That reminds me (I hope bitmover forgives my off-topic), but DuckDuck Go has implemented an AI assistant. This wouldn't be anything new nowadays, but the trick is that they have implemented AI assistant that is directly based on GPT-3.5 Turbo and Claude 1.2 Instant[1]. Considering that this is a free feature to use (for now), one can actually experiment the service without linking social accounts.
This will probably will be paid in the feature (I can't see how DDG will sustain the long costs in the long term of this partnership), and I highly advise anyone to read the privacy policy regarding this feature[2], but for what is worth, at least for now, it is a good feature to have. While we are on this, just a note on this regard from their privacy policy:

Quote

We do not save or store your Prompts or Outputs.

Additionally, all metadata that contains personal information (for example, your IP address) is obfuscated from underlying model providers (for example, OpenAI, Anthropic).

If you submit personal information in your Prompts, it may be reproduced in the Outputs, but no one can tell whether it was you personally submitting the Prompts or someone else.

(...)
As noted above, we call model providers on your behalf so your personal information (for example, IP address) is not exposed to them. In addition, we have agreements in place with all model providers that further limit how they can use data from these anonymous requests that includes not using Prompts and Outputs to develop or improve their models as well as deleting all information received within 30 days.

Is this some sort of broken captcha page that perhaps isn't compatible with some settings that I have going on with my browser? After a few tries (or coming back later) the website just loads normally.

It works fine by my side.
I would like to hear from bitmover if it was a test and perhaps the setting or implementation of site protection.

This is probably some clouflare protection. You might be using adblocks or something like that which cloudflare may be asking for you to verify/challenge something to prove you are a human...

I am slowing reducing those protections...

Yeah, CF blocked most bad traffic as far as I can see.
However, it blocked Feebudy (which is a bot lol).

I've been monitoring your total bandwidth for the last few days, it seems you have a bit more traffic compared to before the attack, but within tolerable limits. These days I also noticed that many sites are under similar pressures.

I don't have much experience with more advanced CloudFlare settings, but have you tried adding some exceptions, for FeeBuddy for example? I saw that in Security>>WAF there is an option to add custom rules to protect API and known bots from malicious traffic.
Missing FeeBuddy Wink

Yeah, I am close to 13k visitors per month. Incredible number!! Never expected to reach that

I miss fee buddy too. The point is that I am working in other projects too. I have a broken api in withdrawal strategy as well (coingecko decide to move to a paid plan model)... I will fix it and then I will see what I can do for feebuddy. I added some protection against bots, which is probably blocking him

He also said the same examplens said : this could be an attack from cloudflare, to force me into a paid plan.

I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case Tongue

Quote from: bitmover on March 22, 2024, 04:57:58 PM

There aren't many companies competing with cloudflare.like aws and azure and a few more, but Cloudflare is the most used.

eXch admin once said there is a good alternative for cloudflare he is using, but I am sure it's not free or cheap.
$200 per year for cloudflare is not so expensive but nobody can guarantee you won't have ddos attacks again.

This falls in the same category as anti-virus companies releasing computer viruses.

I was just thinking the same thing, I think John McAfee explained very well that antiviruses are mostly doing nothing but spy people, and they are useless today Wink

I don't know how you are managing the server, bitmover. But, I think you need to review this hosting company, as it could be a company that attracts these types of attacks.

The server is hosted by Hetzner.
I have 50-100 sites (small and large) on the same server, only bitmover's site is under attack. 10+ years on the same contract, several upgrades in the meantime, all this gives me very little room that this bad intention came from there.

I also asked them for a solution to solve this problem and I got a very similar answer as I advised bitmover myself, somewhat more radical settings on cloudflare.
@joker_josue You have well suggested this for a DDoS protection service, I will talk to them about it and whether there are such possibilities.

As far as I can see, most of this bad traffic has been halted so far, CF seems to be doing its job.

But they already have this service: https://www.hetzner.com/unternehmen/ddos-schutz/
Now, it seems to me that it is only available in the WEBHOSTING or MANAGED SERVERS service.

If you are using the dedicated server, I think this service is not included. But, it may be possible for an additional cost. Or, since you are using a dedicated server, you can choose a service for yourself. In addition to Cloudflare, there is Imunify360 - https://www.imunify360.com - you can take a look.
