The thread is too long to ask for info, but has there been a final consensus here on how to treat such accounts?

No. But moderators on technical board have left few neutral or negative feedback to such account. And they sometimes they don't even bother add reference link.

Is it okay to leave them at least a neutral tag as a warning that they are forum-rank farmers? I believe that the negative tag is too much.

Maybe it's okay when moderators also do that. IMO negative tag is okay if those account also share malware, fake software or other action which makes user could lose their Bitcoin easily.

I don't think there's ever going to be consensus on the Trust system.

Lightning Network
The Lightning Network (LN) allows users of a digital wallet to transfer BTC to another without any fees. This is achieved by adding a second layer to the Bitcoin network to enable transactions between parties off the blockchain(off-chain transactions).

I think you're missing out something from this part that you said transfer without any fee, lightning network is not a zero fee rate to use for making transaction despite is a second layer transaction, it is rather made subsidized, which means it has a lower fee rate and not a zero fee rate to use it, it addresses the issues of scalability, affordability and transaction speed all together.

LN was meant to address Bitcoin scalability, thereby processing faster and lower cost transactions on the Bitcoin network. There have been speculations that the LN method isn't secure, as it exposes people's BTC to theft, but I hope to use it someday since I haven't come across any articles of stolen BTC due to LN. Please pardon my excitement, but I think LN is really cool.

You may not have to believe in what everyone is saying, in other for you to learn more further on lightning network, read these threads

All Lightning network threads in one.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/table-all-lightning-network-threads-in-one-place-5345664


1. Nobody subsidize fee when you use LN, whether we're talking about routing fee or on-chain TX fee when opening/closing LN channel.
2. Zero fee is still possible if LN node between sender and receiver choose not to charge any routing fee.

Which Bitcoin wallet(not Bitcoin Core) allows users to send any fee?
Lets say I want to send a transaction with $0.01 fee or 0.00000001.
I know miners will never process the transaction, I see people doing this kind of transfer all around blockchain but I never found a wallet that allows it and my laptop has only 512GB, I can not download BTC core for this.

Don't make a too low transaction which may result into dust, others are doing doesn't mean it the right thing everyone can also do, the kind of wallet we make use doesn't determine the fee rate we are been charged, we only need to know when the mempool is less busy to accommodate lower transaction fees, our wallets used can also be used to modify the fee rate to a little adjustable rate which we can be able to afford for the transaction we want to make, so i will say that we make use of the kind of wallet that allows for that like electrum or blue wallet among others.

1. @entropybit asking about which wallet let user create TX with low fee rate, not create TX which create dust (output with small value).
2. Other points are correct, but not relevant with quoted @entropybit question.
3. Electrum (GUI desktop version) doesn't let you create TX with fee wanted by @entropybit.

When it comes to privacy matters, we should know that it's either we have it or not having it at all, I know quite alright before now that Wasabi has been a good recommendation for use of privacy in the bitcoin community, but later on, there came about the discovery that makes the people doubt about their status quo with privacy offers since their involvement with other entities that does not support for that, I just wish they have always been as how they have started with before everything changed that users are now scared of securing their privacy with them.

Privacy is more complex than we have it or not having it at all. That's why some people talks about privacy threat model. Proton write fairy good blog about it on https://proton.me/blog/what-is-a-threat-model and https://proton.me/blog/internet-privacy.

I think the configuration of the bitcoin core installation has been program by default to execute launch once the software client is being operated or initialized, the same way you happen to launch the software from the data directory, i don't know if ranochigo have additional information on this, but base on by perception, i think it will all run together by default at the same time when the software is launched

This reply is poorly written and it's hard to understand what it actually wanted to say. But it's clear that Bitcoin Core will not run automatically next time after you run it manually for first time.

but idont have these huge specs and also poor internet so it'll take forever
- Bitcoin Core requires just 2 GB of RAM, and about 700 GB for storage, which can be reduced by more than 90% if you enable pruning (with pruned=550).
- How bad Internet connection? Downloading 700 GB shouldn't take more than two days, even in cases with very slow download speed.

I wouldn't experiment with my money, if I were you (it is clear that you don't know what you're doing). You used Bitcoin Core to receive the bitcoin, use it again to recover it.

The problem here that I dont even have 20 gigabytes  free and the internet bad and still limited so If i spent money for getting another space and also for many times renew the internet quota it will be waste of money espicially that I dont know if there's a money or not (if I 100% know there is a money on it I'll spent the money )

In this case then I think it's very simple, if you think you value the quantity of assets worth on that wet with bitcoincore, then you shouldn't hesitate on getting a new device that could have the required specification of what is been needed for you to be able to use bitcoincore on your device, aside it seems you're not getting the whole idea of what had been suggested to you for using the pruning method in achieving this.

This reply isn't helpful since,
1. New device alone wouldn't solve problem of slow connection.
2. Pruning node still require you to download whole blockchain.
3. On older posts, @Sadderr already state he already tried another way to access his Bitcoin.

Hello,

I notice that the Bitcoin database is stored sequentially in blk*.dat files, with an average size between 128 to 134MB. I would like to know how this average size is determined and if there are any tests that demonstrate this size is the most efficient.

Regards.
Numerous variables, such as the volume of transactions, block size, and data storage needs, affect the size of the Bitcoin blockchain database, which houses all transaction records, but it keeps growing as new transactions are added to the network. And also size is subjected to change and may have changed from my previous update.

Since efficiency varies depending on the situation, there are no certain tests that show the size of the Bitcoin database to be the most efficient. In contrast, Bitcoin's database size is frequently found to be more efficient than that of conventional banking systems when it comes to specific tasks like transaction processing and verification.

1. blk*.dat files and Bitcoin blockchain are 2 different thing. blk*.dat files refer to how Bitcoin Core software store Bitcoin blockchain data, where each full node software could store Bitcoin blockchain data differently.
2. It doesn't answer why each blk*.dat files have size with average size between 128 to 134MB.
3. While it's possible to store arbitrary data on Bitcoin, it's not designed as data storage.
4. There's no strong correlation between database size and transaction processing/verification.

Does anyone have a list of cloud storage services that will accept BTC? which one is the best? I think someone had a non KYC list which had some.

I have found Koofr but I want to see some more to compare prices. Someone mentioned Sync but it requires KYC or at least when paying they ask for all details.

Also, what happens to your files if you forget to pay? they delete them or they keep them? I have never used this.
Although I believe it was extremely irresponsible of you to forget to pay for what was delivered to you, when someone does not pay, their account or file may be disabled or they may not receive the thing they purchased. Additionally, you must carefully follow all instructions when making a purchase to avoid losing money or having your account or file blacklisted.

1. Cloud storage usually doesn't lock your file immediately if you stop paying them. Here are some relevant webpage i found,
2. User shinosuke ask question in example scenario, but it was responded as if user shinosuke actually forget to pay.

I agree with @LoyceV. But i'd like to emphasize that it's okay to ask question on those board.
I would be grateful if you reconsider your trust feedback on my profile.

I see many member only reconsider such things after some time, so ask me again in a year or more.

That would be a good start. It's not helpful, and can give people the wrong idea. Comparing Tor to DNS is like comparing your car engine to a street sign.

2. I don't understand why you compare Tor with DNS.
This guy should stay away from the tech boards. I regret Meriting him, he's now on my ignore list.

@MicroScript: The tech boards aren't meant to post BS, they're meant to help people with useful information. If you can't provide that, go to Beginners or Off-topic or something. Or just don't post. Maybe you got the wrong idea from my Merit on your first post, and you think you can repeat that. By now, 54 posts later, you should realize it doesn't work that way.

1. Bitcoin is decentralized, so there's no thing such as "central server".
2. Tor Bridge is designed to avoid censorship, see https://support.torproject.org/censorship/censorship-7/. In addition, there's no thing such as complete, absolute or 100% anonymity.
Thank you for your opinion and clarification of my point. Your statement that Bitcoin uses a decentralized network is fully correct, and I was mistaken here. Also, I realize that TOR provides a high level of anonymity but isn’t always secure. My goal was to show the advantages of TOR against other DNS in terms of privacy and network access, but I see my misunderstanding of professional terms as troubling. Once again, thank you for the comment!

1. Your original post didn't mention DNS.
2. I don't understand why you compare Tor with DNS.

1. Statement "Your Bitcoins in Lobster Wallet are actually real." and "Lobster is a wallet for Stellar Network, not Bitcoin." are conflicted.
2. Bitcoin Core and hardware wallet aren't the only Bitcoin wallet out there.
I want to clarify. Although other Bitcoin wallets exist, including Bitcoin Core and hardware wallets, my goal was to mention additional alternatives just for Bitcoin since that was a proper answer to the question context. Concerning this, I should’ve explicitly stated that different wallets could be used, and I am sorry if I sounded unclear. Thank you for your comment.

And how about the conflicting statement i pointed out?

1. The thread talks about modifying Bitcoin-Qt 0.6.2 client. So statement "The blockchain client must be configured to mine the Genesis block" is wrong since Genesis block is hardcoded on Bitcoin. See https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Genesis_block.
2. If you create your own altcoin, that means you also need to run your own block explorer for your altcoin.
I appreciate your clarification. According to my very best knowledge, the Genesis block for this particular fork of Bitcoin (Bitcoin-Qt 0.6.2) is hard coded in and therefore can never be mined. I'm grateful for your pointing that out. Also, you're right an altcoin would involve running your very own block explorer which can monitor transactions and blocks. I apologize if my earlier remarks left any ambiguity, and am grateful for the chance to make myself clearer.

If you already know genesis block on Bitcoin is hard coded, i don't understand why you write statement "The blockchain client must be configured to mine the Genesis block." ?



And while we're at it, there are other questionable reply made by you.

Hello

I want to broadcast Bitcoin transactions using python's socket library.Now I can sign a transaction. But when sock is used to link other nodes, it is not known what information should be transmitted.The node I am linking to is protocol version 70016.I tried to find information on bitcoin.org.

This is the site I was looking for:
https://developer.bitcoin.org/reference/p2p_networking.html#protocol-versions

But it doesn't show how protocol 70016 works.I want to know which website I should visit for the 70016 version of the Bitcoin protocol.

Kindly check the Bitcoin core source code https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin to know the details about Bitcoin protocol version 70016 and explore Bitcoin Improvement Proposals so that you can understand how it works and understand broadcast transactions using Python's socket library.

This is very vague answer. Bitcoin Core has tons of code and most people don't know where to start inspecting the code. In addition, there are 163 BIP out there.

how does this work in Wasabi wallet? do I simply have to leave the CoinJoin running until 100% privacy is reached for my wallet? and is 100% possible or will it get near 100%? If hundred percent is reached, is it better to leave the coins on the current wallet or send everything to a new one?
The level of privacy attached to CoinJoin in the Wasabi wallet is not concrete but depends on the number of people participating and the quantity of the mixed amount. It drives privacy to 100; however, not every time it is left running leads it, it always improves it. As such, after one is contented with the privacy, it is ideal to move the coins to another wallet.

FAQ on Wasabi Wallet website says different thing.

Why does the privacy progress change if I select a different coinjoin strategy?

The privacy progress is influenced by the anonymity score target. If the coinjoin strategy is changed to one with a different anonnymity score target, this will cause the privacy progress to increase or decrease.

From those quoted FAQ, we can see chosen CoinJoin strategy is major factor on how Wasabi Wallet calculate percentage of privacy progress.

So that means there's less than a 50% chance that any of those posts used AI, which means they most likely weren't created using AI. Whereas the excerpt from your post I highlighted came back with a 94% chance... Admittedly yes, I don't have enough evidence to report your posts as being AI-generated (using my own standards), so I'm not gonna do that.

The main difference between you and me is your posts suck. They contain illogical blather of no substance, yet are of better-than-average grammatical construction. This suggests you are at the very least using some kind of editing tool. Still, you put zero thought or effort into what you do here and are just churning out nonsense in hopes it will magically lead to a payday. Not to mention the other half your posts are guesses for contests.

I'd say there's zero chance you aren't currently running multiple accounts on this forum, but this one will not get as far as you had hoped.

In any case, I hope you've at least learned to stay away from posting in the technical boards as you clearly know nothing when it comes to the technical details of bitcoin, and your idiocy could actually end up costing money for anyone who somehow took you seriously.

You said my posts suck. You show me which of my posts seemed to suck to you. If it really happens, I will fix it. But don't make any comments without any proof. You said my post is illogical. Point out that which is illogical. I am using only one account on this forum.

You cannot accuse me without sufficient proof. I did not use any text spinner or any other tool. I also checked some of your posts and also got 47%, 13%, 24% ai generated. Now what if i say that you also use text spinner to write your post.

I looked through some of your other posts and it appears you are using some kind of text spinner or other program to write your posts for you, and then manually tweaking them slightly so as to avoid being detected. Furthermore, I strongly believe you created this account for the purpose of cheating contests (as well as getting into some kind of shitty sig or review campaign). Hard to say who your main account is but I'm sure you have more than one and am in the process of narrowing them down.

Wow, you used ChatGPT to counter the failures of using ChatGPT that were just pointed out to you. Simply stunning!

You really shouldn't be here at all -- its obvious you're trying to rank up an account for the purpose of getting in some kind of sig campaign, but you'll never get there if you lack the ability to generate any kind of original thought.

Edited:

When you wish to report a post as being "AI spam," particularly for posts that might not be explicit spam but still generated by AI, you can include a reference link in the report to your own post in this thread, which will contain results from AI detector analyses of the post. When adding an offending account to this thread for the first time, your post should include three or more examples of AI-generated posts by that account. Subsequently, each time the account makes an AI-generated post, those posts can be individually added to this thread, if necessary.

See here your post says 47% generated by AI but that doesn't mean you wrote it with AI. I mean these detectors don't always give 100% accurate results.
