I'm trying to find this guy as surely someone posted about him here already but no dice yet, will keep looking but..Anyone remember that one user who had that bald headed weird looking guy as his forum avatar who used to be the king of doing this, maybe 5-6 years back..I mean it was all day, every day..I can't remember his name but he was maybe up there with "The one above all" (which I'm also forgetting his orig forum name, as I think TOAA was his 3rd-5th alt or so..hard to keep up).  Those two were so deranged I almost miss them, and miss Tman going at them, who was equally loony just in a diff way, though a former friend (when he was thought to be trustworthily ..smh).  

I think you refer to https://ninjastic.space/user/The-One-Above-All, although it doesn't seem he used to post on technical board. Anyway, if you need to look for certain user, you might want to use https://bpip.org/ search feature or list of banned username on http://loyce.club/.

--snip--

This is what his posts look like w/o ChatGPT... Ay yayay. Sad to say it but a decent % of users shouldn't be posting on this forum at all. I just can't believe how incredibly low the bar is for getting accepted into a sig campaign here (granted the aforementioned offender was not yet in a campaign). Campaign managers should really set higher standards so we don't have to read the barrage of nonsense that comes from their campaigners, and so those that aren't interested in writing anything remotely interesting don't even bother trying.

Or enforce this again with higher standard.

Quote
Campaign Operators:

Signature Campaigns are a great way to introduce your business and advertise your services to the bitcoin ecosystem but this cannot be abused by you paying people to make poor contributions en masse. As a signature campaign operator you will ultimately be held responsible for the quality of posts of users bearing your signature advertisement and you will need to monitor your users closely or it will be quickly abused. If you are running a campaign and it becomes blatantly obvious to Staff that you are doing little to nothing to stop spam on your campaign you will be issued a PM warning by a Global Moderator that you need to make immediate improvements to curb low-quality posts. You will have 7 days to remove low-quality posters and respond to the message detailing what you are going to do to make changes to your campaign to reduce the amount of spam. If improvements are not noticeable within 21 days of that and Staff do not believe you are doing enough to prevent low quality posts your signatures will be blacklisted from the forum by an Admin and you will no longer be permitted to advertise here in such a way. The Staff and Admins do not want to have to do this but it's a last resort in an attempt to clean up the forum as signature campaigns cannot continue to operate here in such a lazy way as it is not fair that others have to go through pages of drivel to find anything of substance nor should Staff be left to clean up the mess you are paying people to make.

It looks like my, @nutildah's[1] and other's report finally got this user banned. Although IMO nuke would be better option in this case. Hard to believe it took about a month and lots of reports to make it happen. This wouldn't be enough to discourage spammer who use AI or copy-paste bot (with spinner feature).

What's especially dumb is he was fighting for his right to AI spam all the way to the last minute:

Well the rules are very ok because it help us to be able to write very well in English,than to use AI because by using AI it just like someone who is doing expo in the classroom and it will not help us anywhere if we continue to use AI,but when you do your best with your brain it's preferable even though you sentence is not long enough,but at least the little that you were able to put down is commendable more than the good write up you have stolen from the AI..

Again please is there any moderator who can monitor all this,and be able to identify this AI write up and finish them out or how did get the find out who uses AI write?

Why wasn't he banned months ago? If Mods let chatbot plagiarism go unpunished, Bitcointalk will be completely overrun in a few years.

Yes, it is possible to bridge out from Bitcoin Testnet to Bitcoin Signet. There are a few different ways to do this, but the most common is to use a bridge contract. A bridge contract is a smart contract that allows you to convert your Testnet bitcoins into Signet bitcoins. To use a bridge contract, you'll need to have a wallet that supports both Testnet and Signet, such as the Metamask wallet. Once you have your wallet set up, you can then use the bridge contract to transfer your Testnet bitcoins to Signet. The process is fairly straightforward, but it's important to follow the instructions carefully to ensure the transfer is successfully..
 Once you've bridged out your bitcoins, you'll be able to use them on the Signet network. It's important to note that while you can bridge out from Testnet to Signet, you cannot bridge back from Signet to Testnet. Additionally, you should be aware that Signet is still in beta, and there may be some bugs or issues that arise. Overall, bridging out from Testnet to Signet is a relatively simple process, but it's always a good idea to proceed with caution when dealing with cryptocurrency.

Another reply on same thread already explain why it's impossible. In addition,
1. Metamask doesn't support Bitcoin.
2. Bitcoin have no smart contract, but only non-turing complete scripting.
3. Few other mistake i don't bother to point out.

If you ever tried using Electrum Appimage, you wouldn't say that. Download and run Appimage (Linux) is nearly as easy as download and run portable version (Windows). Here's a very simple GUI guide, https://itsfoss.com/use-appimage-linux/.
Yes, I have personally tried to run the Appimage of Electrum on Lubuntu Linux and I faced issues during launching of that Appimage, I sorted the issue because I have been using Linux for many years but those who just transition to Linux may not be able to fix such issues easily.
Having problem putting a checkmark in the right place?

I wouldn't go that far, in very rare instance AppImage might fail to run on certain linux distro. Here's an example, https://docs.appimage.org/user-guide/troubleshooting/fuse.html.

But it also contain has inaccurate information. And while we're it, could you edit your post to remove or cross-out the inaccurate information?
Although, the information I gave isn't very inaccurate and I'm sure it won't cause problems for anyone but I respect you guys opinion and that's why I removed that post of mine. I'm also going to stop posting on that board from now own because I guess there are already enough tech experts on that board who share very valuable information.

I suggested him to go for an air-gapped system after setting the wallet.
It's as if you don't want to understand what it's about. That's okay, but stop telling others it's safe. Incorrect advice on the tech board can make people lose their money.
Thanks for your suggestion, I have removed that post.

I was surprised by the amount of BS in SamReomo's post on the tech board. Context: a Newbie asked for help with long-term Bitcoin storage. I've included my comments in this quote:
Good to know that someone can really share your posts that way even if you give accurate information. LoyceV, I suggested him to go for an air-gapped system after setting the wallet. I guess ABCbits has shared something valuable about cold wallet which I'll note from now on.

But it also contain has inaccurate information. And while we're it, could you edit your post to remove or cross-out the inaccurate information?

On the other side, I am a Linux lover and very careful when handling it, but even as an amateur, not a professional, installing an electrum wallet from Appimage seems to me to be one of the simplest things.
It's good to know that you're a Linux lover, but I don't agree that installing electrum wallet on Linux is that simple. I know if someone has technical expertise then for that person it isn't a hard task but for an armature with no technical knowledge won't be able to do that easily. On the other hand installing or running portable version of Electrum on Windows OS can be done easily by someone with no technical skills.

But why would you even suggest something like that if you don't know what you're talking about? That's just plain wrong.

The whole point of an air-gapped system is to physically isolate your data, preventing its leakage online. There is no point "to go for an air-gapped system" after setting up the wallet, since this is the most critical part of the whole process.

Why are you sure that using Electrum on Linux is safe? Do you know the meaning of the expression monkey with a grenade?
Linux is safe as an operating system as compared to Windows OS, and that's why it's recommend by tech experts and is used in most datacenters. I won't go deep but open-source software or operating systems are more safe as compared to closed-source ones.

You can just as easily expose yourself to a virus by copying the wrong command into the terminal and being exposed to a virus.
I believe what you have said is true, but most Linux users are technically good and they avoid copying and pasting of wrong commands in terminal.

Most newbies aren't aware of Linux operating system. Installing and using Electrum on Linux for such people may be out of question, I know that it's safe to go with Electrum on Linux but most users aren't Linux users so it won't be easy for them to move from Windows to Linux and install Electrum on that new operating system.

Electrum also can be used as cold wallet, the developer even wrote a guide about it on https://electrum.readthedocs.io/en/latest/coldstorage.html
The worst part was this:
After that disconnect that laptop from internet. That way you have an air-gapped system
So many people still think they're "air-gapped" if they temporarily disconnect their internet.

Suggesting to store recovery words on device without mention encryption is really bad suggestion, especially due to risk the device might be stolen. And it reminds me of his past nonsense,

Wine is a safe and open-source virtualization solution that allows to run Windows based applications on Linux and the applications on Wine run in a virtualized environment which won't affect the applications that run on the real Linux host system. I believe windows based malware won't impact the host of the Linux system as Windows malware are built in a way that they can affect Windows based users only.

The files and the whole Kernel module of Windows operating system is changed from Linux and that's another proof that Windows viruses and malware won't be able to penetrate Linux operating system. However, it's always recommended to avoid installing any application on the systems where someone saves his/her Bitcoin. Just don't be paranoid by such thoughts the Linux is a safe operating system and Windows malware can't harm it at all.

I suggest you to go with Electrum, it's one of the best wallets for storing your Bitcoin.
Electrum is a good wallet. But a hot wallet is never a good solution for long-term storage.

Quote
If you really want to have 100% security then I suggest you to buy a separate laptop and install an operating system in it and after installing a fresh copy of the operating system, then you should install electrum wallet.
That's not "100% secure". It's insecure. Any new Windows laptop should be considered insecure the moment you connect it to the internet. If you want 100% security, you'll need a cold storage setup on an air-gapped system. None of that is recommended for novice Bitcoin users.

Quote
Create your wallet on Electrum and save your seed phrase on a safe location. I suggest you to save one copy of your seed phrase on your device's hard drive or ssd
~
After that disconnect that laptop from internet. That way you have an air-gapped system and your Bitcoin are 100% safe.
This is the dumbest thing I've read today. Do not store your seed phrase in clear text on your device!
An air-gapped system is a system that has never touched the internet. Once it's been online, it should be considered compromised. That's the only way to be absolutely certain it's secure.

Note: I edit suspicious link and reduce image size on his post to prevent someone got scammed/hacked and to make quoted post below easier to read.



I followed this step but after clicking the next button, I got this error
I was unable to proceed as well, you are not wrong. Report this on  https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum

It is a bug.

I tried it on Desktop Electum and it worked. But not working on Android. Maybe a lower version may work on Android. But best is to report it so that it can be solved in the next update, or use desktop version of Electrum.
I gist OP is right maybe you should report this types of problems to the support @electrum.co.za. Or still you should get a new version for the windows

medium dot com/@doyosuge8473/how-to-restore-your-electrum-wallet-if-you-lose-2fa-178b09330f7f

1. electrum.co.za isn't official Electrum's website.
2. When i visit electrum.co.za, actually it's website about payment service. It's not related with Electrum at all.
3. Medium article mentioned contain download link to known fake Electrum website. See [WARNING] electrumupdatefiles.com - Fake site hosting malicious electrum apps.

Hi everyone.

I'm struggling with the taproot address.

In python, how to convert a hexadecimal privatekey to taproot address?

I use bech32m lib but the taproot address generated is doesn't match to the correct address.

Can anyone explain taproot address generation process? I want use a hexadecimal privatekey to generate taproot address.

Thank you.

Well From the Little search and knowledge i think you should try to coverts your personal key to a wallet and it should be a new version 0 maybe on your phone or desktop.
This are some steps you could take just follow them!!

Step 1


Step2

Step3

This should be of help after run them

Try to check on this link to confirm it OP
 
https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/118135/get-the-scriptpubkey-from-a-taproot-address

1. Those screenshot actually taken from question shown on https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/118135/get-the-scriptpubkey-from-a-taproot-address.
2. I don't know what exactly he mean by version 0. But if he refer to witness version, it should be version 1 since version 0 refer to SegWit.



It's also worth to mention that this user claiming image found internet as his own, see https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--5485523.
