Good catch. In addition, i notice promise444c5 sometimes got corrected by other member after posting inaccurate information.

--snip--
This guy is already on my ignore list, for obvious reasons:
So he's recommending to download https://bitcointalk.org/bitcoin-27.0.torrent when OP says his IBD is slow.

Those where the first 2 responses in this topic. I'm disappointed.

This is disappointing from a self-made Hero Member:

It should, but the chain is not increasing as such a rate that will cause an significant lag in download time. Could be from the internet connection.

Use the current version check the latest news section  of the forum for the torrent file,

Bitcoin Core offer wallet feature, although it doesn't have built-in swap with USDT though. And while Bitcoin Core require you to download 550GB+ blockchain, it fulfill other requirement stated by @purinZ14. But Unstoppable wallet is still good choice for @purinZ14 needs.

Probably he just need to know the true meaning  of the word "Cold" in term of storage that will explain why there's no cold wallet
I will regard it as false or maybe he totally meant a cold storage instead of wallet ... more likely to make people believe false statements

User: prestige001

Is it considered as shit post or spread false/fake/unhelpful information?

I laugh a lot when I read that post. You can protect your wallet by storing your coins in cold wallet.

Yes!
The more secure way to protect your wallet is by storing your coins in cold wallet because it can't be easily penetrate by scammers

But the problem is that giving false information is everywhere and this thread is specifically for the Technical Board,

and you have made it clear for everyone to see yet some people will still report users giving false information to this thread from another boards. And if the issues is from the Technical Board then the it is ok.

And I appreciate your effort to clean the Technical Board because that is the Power House in the forum and any bad information there might affect the others.

That's true. Although it's good enough if this thread can make user stop spread false/fake/unhelpful information.

This topic usually doesn't get users banned.

It sounds like you've got a strong setup there. It's not exceptional for the starting adjust to moderate down because it advances, but the rate you're encountering appears curiously moderate. Your equipment ought to be competent of quicker advance.
 
 Since you've checked the debug.log and found no blunders, and your arrangement settings appear appropriate, it's worth considering a couple of other potential components.
 
 Firstly, guarantee your web association is steady and not encountering any issues. In some cases organize interferences can essentially moderate down the syncing process.
 
 Also, check in the event that your antivirus or firewall settings can be interferometer with the syncing handle. Some of the time excessively forceful security settings can cause slowdowns.
 
 You may too attempt restarting the syncing prepare or restarting your computer through and through to see in case that makes a difference to progress the speed.

Having a 2FA security system for your accounts is important these days. It adds an extra layer of protection against unauthorized access, so I'm all for it. The only problem might be with the Gmail accounts.
If anyone encounters difficulties logging into their Gmail accounts like I did several times (thanks, Google), you can use anonymsms dot com. They offer real numbers for free SMS verification.

I don't know why you say wrong topic.

Good find (but wrong topic). This is just plan old spam. I've reported 9 of his posts:
Update: he's Nuked.

Now here's explanation of his SEO spam action. ~ he edit his post some time after it's posted. Here's an example,

Hey, that sounds frustrating. Have you tried using a password recovery tool like "btcrecover"? It's designed for situations like this where you know part of the password but not the whole thing. It can help you brute-force the missing characters.

Hey, I’d recommend trying out Bitcoin Core with the command line interface. It’s pretty straightforward once you get the hang of it. You can download it from the official Bitcoin website. After installing, run bitcoind to start the daemon. You might need to play around with the bitcoin.conf file for your settings. For solo mining, make sure you have a high-speed internet connection and decent hardware to increase your chances.

To scrape batches of Base58 (legacy) Bitcoin addresses and inquire into their transactions and balances, you can follow these steps:

1. Identify Reliable Sources:

• Use blockchain explorers like Blockchain.info, Blockcypher, or Bitaps which provide public data on Bitcoin addresses, transactions, and balances.
  
• Look for public forums, repositories, or databases that might list Bitcoin addresses for various purposes (e.g., research, donations).

[/list]
2. Web Scraping Tools:

• Utilize web scraping tools and libraries such as Beautiful Soup, Scrapy (Python), or Puppeteer (JavaScript) to extract data from web pages.
  

3. Scraping Strategy:

• Select Target URLs: Identify the URLs of the pages you want to scrape, such as individual address pages on blockchain explorers.
  
• Scraping Code: Write scripts to navigate these pages and extract the required data (addresses, transactions, balances).

[/list]
4. API Access:

• Many blockchain explorers offer APIs. Sign up for API access which can provide structured data without the need for extensive scraping.
  
• Use endpoints to fetch data on addresses, their transactions, and balances.

[/list]
5. Data Processing:

• Parse the scraped or fetched data and store it in a database for further analysis.
  
• Use tools like pandas (Python) for data manipulation and analysis.

[/list]


Recommendations:

• [/b]Respect website policies: Make sure to follow the site's terms of service and avoid overloading their servers.
  
  • Use APIs: Prefer APIs for a more reliable and structured way to access data.
    
  • Data Storage: Store the data in a local database or cloud storage for better management and analysis.

By following these steps, you can efficiently gather and analyze Base58 Bitcoin addresses, their transactions, and balances.

Just from the title alone… I wanted to ask what possibly the best wallet to hold bitcoin in?

Before anyone says that it depends on what I need specifically then here is what I am here for. I can not decide which one really is the best based on the things I want. First of all I plan on holding some bitcoin (not huge amount) for a foreseeable future. However I also plan on swapping it for usdt from time to time aka when the price is getting high. I need a wallet that has low fees, preferably decentralized, and is secure.

Any recommendations?

Bitcoin Core? Space is not even a problem if you enable pruning. I see no reason to use something different.

Sounds like a very unsafe plan. Let's just hold his BTC in Bitcoin Core and, when time will come, move them everywhere he wants to sell them.

You are right because running a Bitcoin core without port 8333 is useless for the network. 8333 is the default port of Bitcoin Core. All nodes in the Bitcoin core are used to communicate and collect data from the network. If any of the nodes here have a problem, it stops the connection of all the nodes. Tick ​​the problem with your ISP. What you want cannot be done for free. Try changing the router settings and forwarding the port to 8333. Although port forwarding can put your computer at risk of hacking, do it cautiously and share it with an expert.

This is the first time I have seen this kind of problem. I saw you here for the first time today. This has happened several times, which is likely due to a browser bug. You can clear the data and try again, and it will be resolved. If it is you still need to fix it, you can message support to find out what problem it is causing.

This isn't a problem, it's just an extra feature/option provided by the browser OP is using. You get the same dialogue if you are using Chrome but without the option to disable JavaScript dialogues until the next browser launch.


Several times? Where? Can you please show us? And, how can a bug create a checkbox followed by a logical question in a dialogue box? 


As I said above, it's not a problem that needs to be solved, it is just an extra option provided by the browser being used, probably, and clearing the data won't make a difference here.


 

You have made a good point and asked about OTP in the right thread for a solution. OTP is a system code that allows us to log in to our accounts securely. Using this, we log accounts securely. OTP stands for Short-Time Password and is usually used to confirm the correct identity of the user. OTP system is used to secure the account. The OTP is generally sent via SMS, e-mail, or a particular OTP generator application. Account users confirm their identity by entering the OTP received within the specified period and using their account securely.
