Presumably the crew of Lower Decks doesn't really have that much more access to classified intelligence than Federation News Network, so I think you can figure the public at least has access to that level of knowledge.
Whether non Starfleet personnel are that excited and spend the effort to learn all about them is another matter. There's probably a Fact-or-Fiction-style weekly tv show about strange energy beings and whatever nebula a Starfleet ship discovered during the week, but if you are a raisin farmer on earth you may not bother watching it.
(I like to imagine the Fact or Fiction show in-universe has also had Jonathan Frakes on it, but as a guest star, not the host). | 2025-01-28 |
People aren’t really into traditional alts this cycle. I’d be looking at Solana memes for trading(it’s just where the money is). Do that and put all profits into bitcoin. Also get off reddit and get on crypto twitter, much better alpha on there. | 2025-01-28 |

File a police report, get a lawyer also. | 2025-01-28 |
Are the little hearts jewels? (I’m new.) | 2025-01-28 |
When it comes to criminal charges, it's the Crown v defendant. Members of the public don't get a say, in what the police choose to do. When it comes to family violence involving a child, usually it's a mandatory requirement for police to charge.
You could draft up what you've just written, including what the impact would be on both your mother and you if she's convicted. Speak to her lawyer. Have a paper trail it was your idea. File this statement in proceedings in support of your mother and your own stupidity. | 2025-01-28 |
So cute ♥️ | 2025-01-28 |
It’s ZIPS week! We’ll be diving into the projections more on our Sunday pod, but as a preview, ZIPS projects Willson Contreras for a .237/.341/.422 line, betting out to a 113 OPS+ with 16 HRs in 422 PA.
Would you take the over or the under on that offensive line? | 2025-01-28 |

I think that’s a fantastic idea, bitcoin is the only crypto you can trust in the long run. When your daughter is 18 I’d wager Bitcoin will be somewhere between 500k-1M. Satoshi was truly a genius | 2025-01-28 |

How are people trying to say that Russia has an army worth even a single shit? The massive ‘superpower’ couldn’t even take Ukraine, and that colossal blunder has sent their military back decades. They were already reusing old armor, equipment, and vehicles. | 2025-01-28 |

**What is** r/BitcoinCash **?**
The [r/BitcoinCash](https://www.reddit.com/r/bitcoincash/) subreddit is a forum dedicated to discussing the cryptocurrency Bitcoin Cash (BCH). The aim of this subreddit is to cultivate a space for constructive discussion about Bitcoin Cash. Intentionally disruptive behaviour and heavily off-topic discussion will be moderated accordingly. Please refer to the sidebar for the subreddit rules.
​
**What is Bitcoin Cash?**
Bitcoin Cash is a peer-to-peer electronic cash system. It's a permissionless, decentralised cryptocurrency that requires no trusted third parties and no central bank. With Bitcoin Cash you can safely and securely send money anywhere in the world, nearly for free.
For more information about Bitcoin Cash, please visit[ bitcoincash.org](https://www.bitcoincash.org/).
​
**Is Bitcoin Cash different from “Bitcoin”?**
Yes! In 2017, the Bitcoin project and its community split into two. Perhaps the least controversial way to refer to each side is simply by their respective ticker symbols, BTC and BCH. While exchanges commonly refer to BTC as simply “Bitcoin”, Bitcoin Cash, usually represented by the BCH ticker symbol, is considered by its supporters to be a legitimate continuation of the Bitcoin project, and the version with the best chance of creating a globally adopted peer-to-peer electronic cash system.
​
**Why was it necessary to create Bitcoin Cash?**
The legacy Bitcoin code had a maximum limit of 1MB of data per block, or about 4 transactions per second. There was also a common sentiment among Bitcoin Core developers that non-backwards compatible upgrades, commonly known as “hard forks”, should be avoided at all cost. This mindset severely limited the potential to introduce beneficial changes to Bitcoin, which were needed to prepare the protocol for mass adoption.
Although technically simple, the Bitcoin community could not reach a consensus on raising the block size limit, even after years of debate. In 2017, capacity hit the 1MB-imposed wall, fees skyrocketed, and Bitcoin became unreliable, with some users unable to get their transactions confirmed even after days of waiting. An average transaction fee of $50 took place in December 2017. As a result, Bitcoin stopped growing, and companies such as Steam and Microsoft began *dropping* Bitcoin, because it was no longer a cheap and reliable payment method.
In August 2017, a subset of the Bitcoin community decided to move forward with a proposed protocol upgrade, forking Bitcoin, and creating Bitcoin Cash by lifting the block size limit as a step towards massive on-chain scaling. There is now ample capacity for everyone's transactions on the Bitcoin Cash blockchain; low fees and fast confirmations are standard, and the network has been allowed to grow again.
​
**Isn’t** r/btc **“the Bitcoin Cash subreddit”?**
It is worth noting that the r/btc subreddit came into use before Bitcoin Cash existed. It was originally created as a forum for open discussion about Bitcoin. After August 2015, r/btc gained a large user-base when the[ r/bitcoin](https://www.reddit.com/r/bitcoin/) subreddit[ began censoring](https://np.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3h9cq4/its_time_for_a_break_about_the_recent_mess/) discussion about raising Bitcoin’s block size limit. After the Bitcoin community split over the Bitcoin Cash fork in August 2017, the [r/btc](https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/) Bitcoin community naturally became the Bitcoin Cash community, as that’s where its proponents already resided, having been ousted from r/bitcoin by censorship.
To this day, [r/btc](https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/) continues to offer a place for open and censorship-free discussion about all Bitcoin forks, with minimal interference by moderators.
​
**So how does** r/BitcoinCash **differ from** r/btc **?**
In July 2019, the [r/BitcoinCash](https://www.reddit.com/r/bitcoincash/) subreddit [introduced](https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoincash/comments/cckje4/rbitcoincash_subreddit_change_of_moderation/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x) a stricter moderation policy, following requests from the Bitcoin Cash community for an alternative and specific forum for discussing Bitcoin Cash. The intention is to offer a space that is more focused on specifically discussing Bitcoin Cash, as well as one that is free of the ongoing low-effort trolling that frequently takes advantage of [r/btc](https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/)’s principled commitment to free speech.
This subreddit now offers all users a choice about the kind of forum that they wish to participate in. The hope is that, without the distractions that threaten to derail discussion on [r/btc](https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/), [r/BitcoinCash](https://www.reddit.com/r/bitcoincash/) may be able to foster a more focused, inclusive, and involved conversation.
The moderation logs for r/BitcoinCash are public. | 2019-07-24 |
This FAQ and information thread serves to inform both new and existing users about common Bitcoin topics that readers coming to this Bitcoin subreddit may have. This is a living and breathing document, which will change over time. If you have suggestions on how to change it, please comment below or message the mods.

**What is \/r/btc?**
The \/r/btc reddit community was originally created as a community to discuss bitcoin. It quickly gained momentum in August 2015 when the bitcoin block size debate heightened. On the legacy \/r/bitcoin subreddit it was discovered that moderators were heavily censoring discussions that were not inline with their own opinions.
Once realized, the subreddit subscribers began to openly question the censorship [which led to](http://archive.is/0G8az) thousands of redditors being banned from the \/r/bitcoin subreddit. A large number of redditors switched to other subreddits such as /r/bitcoin_uncensored and /r/btc. For a run-down on the history of censorship, please read [A (brief and incomplete) history of censorship in /r/bitcoin by John Blocke](https://medium.com/@johnblocke/a-brief-and-incomplete-history-of-censorship-in-r-bitcoin-c85a290fe43) and [/r/Bitcoin Censorship, Revisted by John Blocke](https://medium.com/@johnblocke/r-bitcoin-censorship-revisited-58d5b1bdcd64). As yet another example, \/r/bitcoin [censored 5,683 posts and comments](https://www.reddit.com/r/noncensored_bitcoin/comments/7414nf/september_2017_stats_post/) just in the month of September 2017 alone. This shows the sheer magnitude of censorship that is happening, which continues to this day. [Read a synopsis of /r/bitcoin](https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/comments/6rxw7k/informative_btc_vs_bch_articles/dl8v4lp/) to get the full story and a complete understanding of [why people are so upset](https://www.reddit.com/r/KarmaCourt/comments/5gvqf6/and_now_for_something_completely_different_the/) with \/r/bitcoin's censorship. Further reading can be found [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/83vgdm/a_collection_of_evidence_regarding_bitcoins/) and [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/cpftea/its_important_to_remember_the_past_and_show/ewp7abj/) with a giant collection of information regarding these topics.
-----
**Why is censorship bad for Bitcoin?**
As demonstrated above, censorship has become prevalent in almost all of the major Bitcoin [communication channels](https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/5mxov4/wtf_north_koreas_cgc_tries_to_control_bitcoin/dc78hwl/). The [impacts of censorship in Bitcoin](https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/5cxx8t/the_impacts_of_censorship/) are very real. "Censorship can really hinder a society if it is bad enough. Because media is such a large part of people’s lives today and it is the source of basically all information, if the information is not being given in full or truthfully then the society is left uneducated [...] Censorship is probably the number one way to lower people’s right to freedom of speech." By censoring certain topics and [specific words](https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/5vr7ij/partial_list_of_words_that_automod_removes_from/), people in these Bitcoin communication channels are literally being brain washed into thinking a certain way, molding the reader in a way that they desire; this has a lasting impact especially on users who are new to Bitcoin. Censoring in Bitcoin is the direct opposite of what the spirit of Bitcoin is, and should be condemned anytime it occurs. Also, it's important to [think critically](https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/5txje0/edward_snowden_the_answer_to_fake_news_is_not/) and [independently](https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/9cm3nj/psa_the_sub_has_been_under_attack_by_various_bad/), and have an open mind.
-----
**Why do some groups attempt to discredit \/r/btc?**
This subreddit has become a place to discuss everything Bitcoin-related and even other cryptocurrencies at times when the topics are relevant to the overall ecosystem. Since this subreddit is one of the few places on Reddit where users will not be censored for their opinions and people are allowed to speak freely, truth is often said here without the fear of reprisal from moderators in the form of bans and censorship. Because of this freedom, people and groups who don't want you to hear the truth with do almost anything they can to try to stop you from speaking the truth and try to manipulate readers here. You can see many cited examples of cases where special interest groups have gone out of their way to attack this subreddit and attempt to disrupt and discredit it. [See the examples here.](https://old.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/9cm3nj/psa_the_sub_has_been_under_attack_by_various_bad/)
-----
**What is the goal of \/r/btc?**
This subreddit is a diverse community dedicated to the success of bitcoin. \/r/btc honors the spirit and nature of Bitcoin being a place for open and free discussion about Bitcoin without the interference of moderators. Subscribers at anytime can look at and review the [public moderator logs](https://modlogs.fyi/r/btc). This subreddit does have [rules](https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/wiki/index#wiki_rules_for_this_subreddit_.28also_in_the_sidebar.29) as mandated by reddit that we must follow plus a couple of rules of our own. Make sure to **[read the /r/btc wiki](https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/wiki/index)** for more information and resources about this subreddit which includes information such as the benefits of Bitcoin, how to get started with Bitcoin, and more.
-----
**What is Bitcoin?**
Bitcoin is a digital currency, also called a virtual currency, which can be transacted for a low-cost nearly instantly from anywhere in the world. Bitcoin also powers the blockchain, which is a public immutable and decentralized global ledger. Unlike traditional currencies such as dollars, bitcoins are issued and managed without the need for any central authority whatsoever. There is no government, company, or bank in charge of Bitcoin. As such, it is more resistant to wild inflation and corrupt banks. With Bitcoin, you can be your own bank. Read the Bitcoin whitepaper to further understand the schematics of how Bitcoin works.
-----
**What is Bitcoin Cash?**
Bitcoin Cash (ticker symbol: BCH) is an updated version of Bitcoin which solves the scaling problems that have been plaguing Bitcoin Core (ticker symbol: BTC) for years. Bitcoin (BCH) is just a continuation of the Bitcoin project that allows for bigger blocks which will give way to more growth and adoption. You can read more about Bitcoin on [BitcoinCash.org](https://bitcoincash.org/) or read [What is Bitcoin Cash](https://www.bitcoin.com/info/what-is-bitcoin-cash) for additional details.
-----
**How do I buy Bitcoin?**
You can buy Bitcoin on an exchange or with a brokerage. If you're looking to buy, you can [buy Bitcoin with your credit card](https://buy.bitcoin.com/) to get started quickly and safely. There are several others places to buy Bitcoin too; please check the sidebar under brokers, exchanges, and trading for other go-to service providers to begin buying and trading Bitcoin. Make sure to [do your homework first](https://www.bitcoin.com/get-started/how-to-choose-the-right-bitcoin-exchange/) before choosing an exchange to ensure you are choosing the right one for you.
-----
**How do I store my Bitcoin securely?**
After the initial step of buying your first Bitcoin, you will need a Bitcoin wallet to secure your Bitcoin. Knowing which Bitcoin wallet to choose is the second most important step in becoming a Bitcoin user. Since you are investing funds into Bitcoin, choosing the right Bitcoin wallet for you is a critical step that shouldn’t be taken lightly. [Use this guide to help you choose the right wallet for you](https://www.bitcoin.com/get-started/how-to-choose-the-right-bitcoin-wallet/). Check the sidebar under Bitcoin wallets to get started and find a wallet that you can store your Bitcoin in.
-----
**Why is my transaction taking so long to process?**
Bitcoin transactions typically confirm in ~10 minutes. A confirmation means that the Bitcoin transaction has been verified by the network through the process known as mining. Once a transaction is confirmed, it cannot be reversed or double spent. Transactions are included in blocks.
If you have sent out a Bitcoin transaction and it’s delayed, chances are the [transaction fee](https://bitcoinfees.cash/) you used wasn’t enough to out-compete others causing it to be [backlogged](https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#0,24h). The transaction won’t confirm until it clears the backlog. This typically occurs when using the Bitcoin Core (BTC) blockchain due to poor central planning.
If you are using Bitcoin (BCH), you shouldn't encounter these problems as the block limits have been raised to accommodate a massive amount of volume freeing up space and lowering transaction costs.
-----
**Why does my transaction cost so much, I thought Bitcoin was supposed to be cheap?**
As described above, transaction fees have spiked on the Bitcoin Core (BTC) blockchain mainly due to a limit on transaction space. This has created what is called a fee market, which has primarily been a premature artificially induced price increase on transaction fees due to the limited amount of block space available (supply vs. demand). The original plan was for fees to help secure the network when the block reward decreased and eventually stopped, but the plan was not to reach that point until some time in the future, [around the year 2140](https://wiki.bitcoin.com/w/Controlled_supply#Projected_Bitcoins_Long_Term). This original plan was restored with Bitcoin (BCH) where fees are typically less than a single penny per transaction.
-----
**What is the block size limit?**
The original Bitcoin client didn’t have a block size cap, however was limited to 32MB due to the Bitcoin protocol message size constraint. However, in July 2010 Bitcoin’s creator Satoshi Nakamoto introduced a [temporary 1MB limit](https://sourceforge.net/p/bitcoin/code/103/tree//trunk/main.h?diff=515630145fcbc978e39dbaa5:102) as an anti-DDoS measure. The temporary measure from Satoshi Nakamoto was made clear three months later when Satoshi said the block size limit can be [increased again by phasing it in](https://archive.is/L5yvP#selection-3315.0-3315.7) when it’s needed (when the demand arises). When introducing Bitcoin on the cryptography mailing list in 2008, Satoshi said that [scaling to Visa levels](https://www.mail-archive.com/cryptography%40metzdowd.com/msg09964.html) “would probably not seem like a big deal.”
-----
**What is the block size debate all about anyways?**
The block size debate boils down to different sets of users who are trying to come to consensus on the best way to scale Bitcoin for growth and success. Scaling Bitcoin has actually been a topic of discussion since Bitcoin was first released in 2008; for example you can read how Satoshi Nakamoto was [asked about scaling here](https://www.mail-archive.com/cryptography%40metzdowd.com/msg09964.html) and how he thought at the time it would be addressed. Fortunately Bitcoin has seen tremendous growth and by the year 2013, scaling Bitcoin had became a hot topic. For a run down on the history of scaling and how we got to where we are today, see the [Block size limit debate history lesson post](https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/61mxuj/block_size_limit_debate_history_lesson/).
-----
**What is a hard fork?**
A hard fork is when a block is broadcast under a new and different set of protocol rules which is accepted by nodes that have upgraded to support the new protocol. In this case, Bitcoin diverges from a single blockchain to two separate blockchains (a majority chain and a minority chain).
-----
**What is a soft fork?**
A soft fork is when a block is broadcast under a new and different set of protocol rules, but the difference is that nodes don’t realize the rules have changed, and continue to accept blocks created by the newer nodes. Some argue that [soft forks are bad](https://medium.com/@octskyward/on-consensus-and-forks-c6a050c792e7) because they trick old-unupdated nodes into believing transactions are valid, when they may not actually be valid. This can also be defined as coercion, as [explained by Vitalik Buterin](https://vitalik.ca/general/2017/03/14/forks_and_markets.html).
-----
**Doesn't it hurt decentralization if we increase the block size?**
Some argue that by lifting the limit on transaction space, that the cost of validating transactions on individual nodes will increase to the point where people will not be able to run nodes individually, giving way to centralization. This is a false dilemma because at this time there is no proven metric to quantify decentralization; although it has been shown that the [current level of decentralization will remain](https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/5fyve1/fallacy_the_key_to_bitcoins_decentralization_is_a/) with or without a block size increase. It's a logical fallacy to believe that decentralization only exists when you have people all over the world running full nodes. The reality is that only people with the income to sustain running a full node (even at 1MB) will be doing it. So whether it's 1MB, 2MB, or 32MB, the costs of doing business is negligible for the people who can already do it. If the block size limit is removed, this will also allow for more users worldwide to use and transact introducing the likelihood of having more individual node operators. [Decentralization is not a metric, it's a tool or direction](https://twitter.com/lopp/status/693537120351293440). This is a good video describing the direction of [how decentralization should look](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7S1IqaSLrq8).
Additionally, the effects of increasing the block capacity beyond 1MB [has been studied](https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/cornell-study-recommends-4mb-blocksize-bitcoin/) with results showing that up to 4MB is safe and will not hurt decentralization ([Cornell paper, PDF](http://fc16.ifca.ai/bitcoin/papers/CDE+16.pdf)). Other papers also show that no block size limit is safe ([Peter Rizun, PDF](https://www.bitcoinunlimited.info/resources/feemarket.pdf)). Lastly, through an informal survey among all top Bitcoin miners, many agreed that a block size increase [between 2-4MB is acceptable](http://archive.is/U3dqr).

After Ethereum passed into its phase of proof of stake we are now witnessing what can happen when proof of work is abandoned. Ethereum classic still has its hard cap and is a deflationary form of payment. Ethereum instead has no hard cap and a potential unlimited supply which is one of the many reasons it is experiencing inflation as more and more coins are created with no end in sight.

Well………
The price of Ethereum has been dropping, roughly 20% in the past 24 hours.
**Background:** Jump Trading is a Chicago-based trading firm that was established in 1999 by two pit traders who met on the floor of the CME. Jump Crypto is the digital asset division of Jump Trading, which was launched in 2021.
Recently, wallets associated with Jump Crypto have transferred a ton of Ethereum to various centralized exchanges, including Coinbase. This typically indicates intentions to sell.
In June, around the time rumors about the CFTC investigation began circulating, they reportedly moved about 72,213 Ethereum ($231M) to exchanges. In the past 24 hours, they have transferred an additional 17,576 Ethereum ($46.78M) to exchanges as well. They currently hold around 49,000 Ethereum still in the unstaking process, meaning this ETH is locked up, earning money similar to a CD. However, these funds take a few days to be released for trading or selling. - Numbers from per *Spot On Chain*
Interestingly, these transfers started two days after the U.S ETH ETFs went live for trading. Was this a big trade gone wrong?
**Their past:**
2014 - Jump Trading was one of six firms subpoenaed by the New York Attorney General.
2018 - Jump Trading was fined $250,000 by the SEC due to a "malfunction" in their trading algorithm.
2022 - Jump Crypto faced losses around $300M getting wrapped up in the FTX collapse
2022 - Wormhole protocol was hacked and Jump Crypto stepped in and provided $325M to help recover funds
2023 - A class-action lawsuit was filed against Jump Crypto for market manipulation on a profit of $1.28B for "Jump had made over $1.28 billion in profits from selling the LUNA tokens it received at a steep discount in exchange for artificially propping up the price of UST and aUST."[ ](https://www.rgrdlaw.com/media/cases/1007_UST%20-%20Jump%20Trading%20File-Stamped%20Complaint.pdf)*Per Report* Allegations were brought on the president of Jump Crypto, Kanav Kariya, (a former intern who went to UIUC) for allegedly aiding and abetting Do Kwon. The president and co-founder of Terraform labs, who’s behind the crashed stablecoin UST and LUNA token who was on the run to Dubi with fake papers while arrested.
Jump Crypto was identified as the “unnamed firm” that stepped in to help maintain the value of UST at $1 during its collapse.
It’s important to note that the issues faced by Jump Trading are not uncommon in the finance industry…..
**4 things could be happening**
1) They are going BK and selling
2) They need liquidity for other business needs, and they want to sell crypto to cover it
3) The rumors about the CFTC investigation are true, and they want to exit the crypto market, leading to forced selling.
4) They placed a trade based on U.S ETH ETFs being approved and it's not panning out and their closing position.
**Short timeline from what I can gather**
Friday 7/2 We received bad economic data (The unemployment rate was higher than expected)
The VIX (Volatility Index) was high Friday, the only times it was higher were during the 08 recession and the 2020 Covid crash.
Saturday 7/3 Israel and Iran are going at it again, Supposedly Israel killed the Hamas leader, Iran said we're gunna hit back and the U.S sent troops to the Middle East (not good for Earth)
Sunday 7/4 Jump starts selling
# Conclusion:
The economic data, high VIX, geopolitical tensions, Japan raising rates and Jump Crypto’s actions all contributed to the recent drop in Ethereum prices. | 2024-08-06 |

Hi!
I want to try ETC mining. I'm not considering profitability for the moment, I just want to start mining in a pool with my current hardware.
I have 2 options:
1. Use my Dell XPS 15 9520 (CPU: Core i7-12700H ; GPU: NVIDIA GA107M - GeForce RTX 3050 Mobile)
2. Use my 2 very OG USB Asic Bitcoin Miner (I guess it's [this one](https://www.ebay.ca/itm/265399688603?_nkw=asic+miner+block+erupter&itmmeta=01J6QAEHHTC9XJQD70JJR4XV3W&hash=item3dcb0ddd9b:g:ursAAOSwuSlhi806&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKn6rIh2fE74F8Fi30Fu8gbELZJkAsqs3Vixgrbq7LyhRh8RyWAxbUmHNLRFUEnDSSIGbp8XKUxaRlrFiHP86g8KUTCzUNxbgTmbOetBqdm0Zx6ROdoCw89V%2FkHk3BjxI%2FY0wSwalA5BMotUPQZMjfohSONWg%2FihwmvA8k6fc%2Fp9GqijZC9z6MYsN3WSLJRVUDVytFEsy6owv3GGXJ4sluS9CO6M4jsG42qcldXdzVTMEcqnaqrYzCh4lvxA4QqJ5hEbpn%2BaPIfERF1Cdo0wxwTWmxsrJoq0Qd38OS9fxAwd%2Bg%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABFBMgpm66rVk)). I don't know if I can use them to mine ETC but I can confirm they work and provide \~ 666 MHz.
I'm a little bit lost with all the software options.
What is the best way and simplest way to do it?
I would prefer a solution that is based on Linux but I'm OK with Windows if it's necessary.
Thanks for your help! | 2024-09-01 |
# Welcome to the /r/Bitcoin Newcomers FAQ
You've probably been hearing a lot about Bitcoin recently and are wondering what's the big deal? Most of your questions should be answered by the resources below but if you have additional questions feel free to ask them in the comments.

You can also see the number of times Bitcoin was [declared dead by the media](https://99bitcoins.com/obituary-stats) (LOL!)
## Key properties of Bitcoin
* **Limited Supply** - There will only ever be a [maximum of 21,000,000 bitcoins created](https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/10h04a6/this_is_how_we_know_theres_only_21_million_bitcoin/) and they are issued in a predictable fashion per the [inflation schedule](https://bashco.github.io/Bitcoin_Monetary_Inflation/). Once they are all issued Bitcoin will be truly deflationary. The [halving countdown](http://bitcoinblockhalf.com/) tells you approximately how much time until the next block reward halving.
* **Open source** - Bitcoin code is fully auditable. You can read and contribute to the [source code](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin) yourself.
* **Accountable** - The public ledger is transparent, all transactions are [seen by everyone](https://blockstream.info/).
* **Decentralized** - Bitcoin is globally distributed across thousands of nodes with no single point of failure and as such can't be shut down similar to how [Bittorrent](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent) works. You can even [run a node on a Raspberry Pi](https://getumbrel.com/).
* **Censorship resistant** - No one can prevent you from interacting with the Bitcoin network and no one can censor, alter or block transactions that they disagree with, see [Operation Chokepoint](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Choke_Point).
* **Push system** - There are [no chargebacks](https://gendal.me/2013/10/21/lessons-from-bitcoin-push-versus-pull/) in Bitcoin because only the person who owns the address where the bitcoin resides has the authority to move them.
* **Borderless** - No country can stop it from going in/out, even in areas currently unserved by traditional banking as the ledger is [globally distributed](https://bitnodes.earn.com/).
* **Trustless** - Bitcoin solved the [Byzantine's Generals Problem](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byzantine_fault_tolerance) which means nobody needs to trust anybody for it to work.
* **Pseudonymous** - No need to [expose personal information](https://buybitcoinworldwide.com/anonymity/) when purchasing with cash or transacting.
* **Secure** - Blocks and transactions are cryptographically secured (using hashes and signatures) and can’t be [brute forced](http://i.imgur.com/fYFBsqp.jpg) or confiscated with proper key management such as hardware wallets.
* **Programmable** - Individual units of bitcoin can be [programmed to transfer](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Script) based on certain criteria being met
* **Divisible** - Each bitcoin can be [divided down to 8 decimals](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Satoshi_(unit\)), which means you don't have to worry about buying an entire bitcoin.
* **Nearly instant** - From a few seconds on the Lightning Network to a [few minutes](https://www.blockchain.com/charts/median-confirmation-time) on-chain depending on need for confirmations. Transactions are irreversible by normal users after one confirmation and irreversible by anyone (including miners) after 6 confirmations.
* **Peer-to-peer** - No intermediaries taking a cut, no need for [trusted third parties](https://nakamotoinstitute.org/trusted-third-parties/).
* **Designed Money** - Bitcoin was created to fit all the [fundamental properties of money](http://i.imgur.com/wkTyyaV.png) better than gold or fiat.
* **Portable** - Bitcoin are digital so they are easier to move than cash or gold. They can be transported by simply carrying a seed (a string of 12 to 24 words) on a device or by [memorizing it for wallet recovery](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Brainwallet) (while cool, memorizing is generally not recommended due to potential for forgetting the seed and the potential for insecure key generation by inexperienced users. Hardware wallets are the preferred method for most users for their ease of use and additional security).
* **Low fee scaling** - Most wallets calculate on chain fees automatically but you can view [fee estimates](https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/) and [mempool activity](https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#0,2w) if you want to set your fee manually. On chain fees may rise occasionally due to network demand, however instant micropayments that do not require confirmations are happening via the [Lightning Network](https://lightning.network/), an open source second layer payment protocol built on top of the Bitcoin blockchain. The Lightning Network enables Bitcoin users to instantly send and receive bitcoin with fees so low that they are negligible.
* **Scalable** - While the protocol is still being optimized for [increased transaction capacity](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Scalability), blockchains do not scale very well, so most transaction volume is expected to occur on Layer 2 networks built on top of Bitcoin.
## Where can I buy bitcoin?
[Bitcoin.org](https://bitcoin.org/en/buy) and [BuyBitcoinWorldwide.com](https://www.buybitcoinworldwide.com/) are helpful sites for beginners. You can buy or sell any amount of bitcoin (even just a few dollars worth) and there are several easy methods to purchase bitcoin with cash, credit card or bank transfer. Some of the more popular places to buy bitcoin are listed below.
* [Strike](https://strike.me/)
* [Cash App](https://cash.app/)
* [Swan](https://www.swanbitcoin.com/)
* [River Financial](https://river.com/)
* [Bull Bitcoin](https://www.bullbitcoin.com/)
* [Bitcoin Well](https://bitcoinwell.com/)
* [Relai](https://relai.app/)
* [LibertyX](https://libertyx.com/)
* [CoinCorner](https://www.coincorner.com/)
* [RoboSats](https://learn.robosats.com/) (P2P)
* [Bisq](https://bisq.network/) (decentralized & P2P)
* [HodlHodl](https://hodlhodl.com/?filters%5Bcurrency_code%5D=USD) (P2P)
* [List of peer-to-peer exchanges](https://github.com/cointastical/P2P-Trading-Exchanges/)
* [Debifi](https://debifi.com/) (non-custodial lending)
You can also purchase in cash with [local ATMs](http://coinatmradar.com/). Services such as [CardCoins](https://www.cardcoins.co/) let you purchase bitcoin with prepaid gift cards. If you would like your paycheck automatically converted to bitcoin use [Bitwage](https://www.bitwage.com/).
**Note:** Bitcoin are valued at whatever [market price](https://cryptowat.ch/bitstamp/btcusd) people are willing to pay for them in balancing act of supply vs demand. Unlike traditional markets, bitcoin markets operate 24 hours per day, 365 days per year.
## Securing your bitcoin
With Bitcoin you can **"Be your own bank"** and personally secure your bitcoin **OR** you can use third party companies aka **"Bitcoin banks"** which will hold your bitcoin for you.
* If you prefer to **"Be your own bank"** and have direct control over your coins without having to use a trusted third party, then you will need to create your own wallet and keep it secure. If you want easy and secure storage without having to learn best computer security practices, then a hardware wallet such as a [BitBox02](https://bitbox.swiss/bitbox02/), [Trezor](https://www.trezor.io/), [ColdCard](https://coldcardwallet.com/), or [Blockstream Jade](https://blockstream.com/jade/) is recommended. You can even build your own open source hardware wallets called a [SeedSigner](https://seedsigner.com/) or [Krux](https://selfcustody.github.io/krux/).
* If you cannot afford a hardware wallet there are many [software wallet](https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet) options to choose from depending on your use case. Mobile wallets like [BlueWallet](https://bluewallet.io/) are generally more secure than desktop wallets. Beware of fake mobile wallets and check reviews from reputable Bitcoin websites. Avoid paper wallets or brain wallets.
* If you prefer to work with third party **"Bitcoin banks"** to set up a collaborative custody arrangement, try [Unchained Capital](https://unchained-capital.com/) but be aware that any third party you use exposes you to third party risk. There is a saying in the community, **"Not your keys, not your coins"**.
**Note: For increased security, use Two Factor Authentication (2FA) everywhere it is offered, including email!**
2FA requires a second confirmation code or a physical security key to access your account making it much harder for thieves to gain access. Google Authenticator and Authy are the two most popular 2FA services, download links are below. Make sure you create backups of your 2FA codes.
**Avoid using your cell number for 2FA.** Hackers have been using a technique called "SIM swapping" to impersonate users and steal bitcoin off exchanges.
Google Auth | Authy | OTP Auth | andOTP
--------------|--------|------------|--------
[Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.authenticator2) | [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.authy.authy&hl=en) | N/A | [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.shadowice.flocke.andotp)
[iOS](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/google-authenticator/id388497605?mt=8) | [iOS](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/authy/id494168017) | [iOS](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/otp-auth/id659877384) | N/A
Physical security keys (FIDO U2F) offer stronger security than Google Auth / Authy and other TOTP-based apps, because the secret code never leaves the device and it uses bi-directional authentication so it prevents phishing. If you lose the device though, you could lose access to your account, so always use 2 or more security keys with a given account so you have backups. See [Yubikey](https://yubikey.com/) or [Titan](https://cloud.google.com/titan-security-key) to purchase security keys.
## Running Bitcoin
You can run [Bitcoin node](https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/18736/what-is-a-bitcoin-node) software by downloading and installing [Bitcoin Core](https://bitcoincore.org) or other node software you have vetted.
It is a best practice to verify these Bitcoin node programs you download by [checking their hashes and signatures](https://youtu.be/U0I-ImS_r8o?si=qa_gRyGPuRZq5acM).
Don't Trust, Verify.
* https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/releases
* https://bitcoincore.org
* https://bitcoin.org/en/bitcoin-core/
A verified Bitcoin node running on your own hardware is your sovereign gateway to the Bitcoin network. They can be used alongside open source software [wallets](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Wallet) to send and receive Bitcoin securely. By running your own Bitcoin node, you enforce the Bitcoin ruleset, can verify transactions without trusted 3rd party middlemen, improve your Bitcoin privacy, obtain independence with local access to blockchain data, and help bolster the robustness of the Bitcoin network. By running a Bitcoin node, you are verifying that Bitcoin is Bitcoin for yourself. For more details on running a Bitcoin node see [this article](https://unchained.com/blog/why-run-bitcoin-node/).
For wallets used alongside your Bitcoin node: If your Bitcoin wallet software is fully [open source](https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/80111/is-bitcoin-completely-open-source/80115#80115) and Bitcoin-only, then it is probably a decent wallet. Some popular examples include [sparrow wallet](https://sparrowwallet.com/) and [electrum wallet](https://electrum.org/), both of which you can connect to your own locally run Bitcoin node, and use with most Bitcoin Hardware Wallets.
## Watch out for scams
As mentioned above, Bitcoin is decentralized, which by definition means there is no official website or Twitter handle or spokesperson or CEO. However, all money attracts thieves. This combination unfortunately results in scammers running official sounding names or pretending to be an authority on YouTube or social media. Many scammers throughout the years have claimed to be the inventor of Bitcoin. Websites like bitcoin(dot)com and the r / btc subreddit are active scams. Almost all altcoins are marketed heavily with big promises but are really just designed to separate you from your bitcoin. So be careful: any resource, including all linked in this document, may in the future turn evil. As they say in our community, **"Don't trust, verify"**.
* Avoid using ad-based search engines like Google or Yahoo: ads are shown based on how much the advertiser bids, and scammers can easily outbid legitimate providers for ad space, since immoral ways of earning money are far more lucrative than moral ways. Use [DuckDuckGo](https://duckduckgo.com/) instead, which has no ads, and never tracks you as well.
* Ignore private messages offering services.
* **Never enter your seed words in a website of any kind.** Hardware wallets will recover by displaying possible seed words on their own interface, never on a website.
* **Always check addresses on your hardware wallet before sending or receiving.** Some malware has been known to replace addresses in your web browser or that you copy-and-paste.
* Avoid clicking on links like that look like links, such as [https://www.google.com/](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ybW48rKBME), without first hovering over it and actually checking where they go to. Just because a link is labelled with an HTTPS address does not mean it actually sends you to that address. It is trivial for someone to comment a link on Reddit that looks like it will send you to one website when it actually sends you to another, and you might not notice the difference until a scammer has gotten all your money, or you have downloaded and installed software that steals your money.

## Can I mine bitcoin?
Mining bitcoin can be a fun learning experience, but be aware that you will most likely operate at a loss. Newcomers are often advised to stay away from mining unless they are only interested in it as a hobby similar to [folding at home](https://foldingathome.org/?lng=en). If you want to learn more about mining you can read the [mining FAQ](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Faq#Mining). Still have mining questions? The crew at /r/BitcoinMining would be happy to help you out.
If you want to contribute to the Bitcoin network by hosting the blockchain and propagating transactions there are many [great resources](https://raspibolt.org/) you can use to [run a full node](https://river.com/learn/how-to-run-a-bitcoin-node/). You can view the global distribution of reachable Bitcoin nodes on [this webpage.](https://bitnodes.io/nodes/all/#global-bitcoin-nodes)
## Earning bitcoin
Just like any other form of money, you can also earn bitcoin by being paid to do a job.

## Bitcoin Units
One bitcoin is worth quite a lot (thousands of £/$/€), so people often deal in smaller units. The most common subunits are listed below:
Unit | Symbol | Value | Info
---|:---:|---|---
bitcoin | BTC | 1 bitcoin | one bitcoin is equal to 100 million satoshis
millibitcoin | mBTC | 1,000 per bitcoin | used as default unit in Electrum wallet
bit | μBTC | 1,000,000 per bitcoin | colloquial "slang" term for microbitcoin
satoshi | sat | 100,000,000 per bitcoin | smallest unit in bitcoin, named after the inventor
For example, assuming an arbitrary exchange rate of $10,000 for one bitcoin, a $10 meal would equal:
* 0.001 BTC
* 1 mBTC
* 1,000 bits
* 100,000 sats

It feels like 2021 all over again with how bitcoin is doing | 2024-11-10 |
Never thought I’d see myself owning ETC again but yet here I am. ETC is so undervalued at the moment and I have a feeling we are going to see another Kansas City Shuffle where the attention is on ETH over the next 6 months but we see ETC go crazy… just like the last bull cycle.
Time to load up again gentlemen.
To the moon 🚀 | 2024-11-10 |
Y’all what gives? Every coin is up since the 10am (pst) dip yesterday besides ETC. it’s still under that local high. Come on now, let’s get the party started and catch the f up.
Side note: last run up, ETC & Doge mirrored each other. Whenever doge was running, etc would drop. I’m wondering if some of those same swaps exist and since doge is running, etc is struggling. | 2024-11-11 |
Hello there, i need a advice about some asic and connection pool | 2024-11-12 |
Trump wins presidency and BTc tops 92k. Etc can’t even go past $25. We’re actually dumping hard too like wtf. | 2024-11-14 |
He'll wait until it's $ETC's turn to pop, and just as it does he'll announced converting his ETC trust into an ETF. | 2024-11-14 |
It’s been a while. Y’all holding on or selling? I’ve been in for while and looking for a potential cash out. What are your thoughts?
| 2024-11-23 |
i am new in crypto and bought the coins when they were high coz my friend told me, should i hold them?!! | 2024-11-24 |
I have faith we will see ATH either this cycle or next. | 2024-11-25 |
So since Eth went to PoS and left Etc as PoW, what is ETC even used for? | 2024-11-27 |
Put 20k in $xlm at the end of October... moved my entire position into $etc yesterday because the chart looks about the same. 🤞🏻 | 2024-11-27 |
I could not find a single video in youtube that analyzes current market structure for FIL in terms of Fibonacci retracement, from which I could have an idea what to expect from FIL this bull cycle.
Would appreciate an analysis based price prediction for FIL. | 2024-11-29 |
It went from 15 to 45 in like 2 weeks while we have been sitting at 15-30 for almost 4 years | 2024-11-30 |
Why is Filecoin pumping today so hard? I barely follow it anymore because it felt old and stale but it's surging about 7 bucks today | 2024-11-30 |
Hater gonna say RIP $FIL coin. Legend say Let's goooo!!!!! | 2024-11-30 |
Let's get that $66 etc and beyond | 2024-11-30 |
Correct me if I'm wrong, but folks who are saying this won't pump due to increased supply, please explain the following to me.
$FIL 605 million circulating supply
$FIL $4.3B market cap
$FIL current price $7
Whereas
$LINK has 626 million circulating supply
$LINK market cap is $12B.
$LINK current price is $19
In the nearest short term, just based on what the market is doing (which is pumping), forget about ATH for a second, there is no reason why we aren't a $20/coin in the short term. And I would absolutely keep an eye on what $LINK does as well. If $LINK can push up to yearly high and soon ATH at $50+, we won't be far behind.
| 2024-11-30 |
Where is ethereum classic status on the ETF? | 2024-12-01 |
I just came to know about filecoin recently and am intrigued by the potential. I saw the ATH was pretty high, however has kept low since. Is the current price around 7 good for its potential? Where do folks see it heading towards in a couple months and this bull run? | 2024-12-01 |
Don’t do mistakes litecoin holders did , don’t dump right now it’s on the way 70 dollar. Just saying lol 😂 | 2024-12-02 |
Where can you do this? | 2024-12-03 |
Hi, sorry I’m new on reddit so forgive me if I’m not allowed to post here
But what’s this? Who owns that? | 2024-12-03 |
What’s this ?! Every time I try to connect this to blocks out, it comes up with this.
Why?

Fasten your seat belt. This is about to fly to the moon 🌙. Don't forget to take your phone with you while flying .We gonna sell it when we reach there.. 🚀 🚀🚀🚀 | 2024-12-04 |
Filecoin next the moon? | 2024-12-04 |
If I had entered at $16, it would have risen 230% by now. Congratulations to everyone on the rocket.

They are starting with SOL and when this is approved I believe they will wish to convert all their Trusts including ETC.

Need it to close above $39.74 then build some support around there. If it can do that then it should be wide open til about $48 | 2024-12-06 |
I know this is an unofficial coin source but it makes it look like moderation is not banning those repeatedly violating the rules. They repeatedly post fud without citing sources. | 2024-12-07 |
Recently invested in etc at 36.5 wondering if it could boom to that range or if I should take some out and invest in BCH. | 2024-12-07 |
Those of you who just entered positions, do you still believe it will go up? Bitcoin could drop further, possibly to at least $70k, and Filecoin might follow suit. Are you planning to buy more or hold? Filecoin it is the one dumping the hardest as I can see. | 2024-12-09 |
ETC recovered far quicker than most other altcoins that dropped even more significantly and it will be right back up there with Etherum that has already recovered once the price pressure resumes and everyone in the day market sees how good a sale it is.
Thanks Justin Sun | 2024-12-09 |
Bounced off the top trend from the previous highs beautifully for the second time. Looks like it’s building support around $28. In the Golden zone currently. Not a crazy amount of volume currently. This is getting exciting. | 2024-12-10 |
The Monero Research Lab (MRL) [has decided](https://github.com/monero-project/meta/issues/1119) to recommend that all Monero node operators enable a ban list of suspected spy node IP addresses. The spy nodes can reduce the privacy of Monero users.
`cuprate` developer Boog900 discovered these spy nodes and created an IP address ban list. Developers and researchers associated with MRL (list names) have indicated their approval of this list by signing it with their PGP keys.
# How do I enable the ban list?
Download the ban list from [`https://github.com/Boog900/monero-ban-list/blob/main/ban_list.txt`](https://github.com/Boog900/monero-ban-list/blob/main/ban_list.txt) and remember the directory on your computer where you saved it so you can replace `--ban-list <file-path-to-ban-list>` below with it. For example, if you saved the file in `/home/user/Downloads`, they you would replace `<file-path-to-ban-list>` with `/home/user/Downloads/ban_list.txt`. **WINDOWS USERS**: Download the ban list file directly and save it. Do not copy-paste it into a new file. There is a Windows problem with the copy-paste method that [will be fixed in the next Monero software release version](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/9610).
# Running monerod from the terminal
If you run the node from the terminal, add `--ban-list <file-path-to-ban-list>` when you start up `monerod`, i.e.
`./monerod --ban-list <file-path-to-ban-list>`
If you use a config file instead of command line flags, add this line to the config file:
`ban-list=<file-path-to-ban-list>`
# Monero GUI wallet
If you use a remote node, whoever operates the remote node will decide if the ban list is enabled. If your run your own local node through the GUI wallet, go to Settings. In the "Daemon startup flags" box, input "`--ban-list <file-path-to-ban-list>`". Then click the orange "Stop daemon" button. It will take a few seconds for the daemon to shut down. Then click the orange "Start daemon" button.
# Docker
If you use SethForPrivacy's `monerod` Docker file, update to the latest version, which has the ban list: [https://github.com/sethforprivacy/simple-monerod-docker](https://github.com/sethforprivacy/simple-monerod-docker)
If you run the Docker Monero node with any custom flags or custom config file, [you need to add to `--ban-list=/home/monero/ban_list.txt` to the set of flags or `ban-list=/home/monero/ban_list.txt` to the config file](https://libera.monerologs.net/monero/20241205#c468982).
# FAQs
**1) What is the evidence that spy nodes run at these IP addresses?**
The numerous spy node IP addresses are pretending to be distinct nodes, but the spying adversary is proxying a few nodes through a large number of IP addresses. That way, the spying adversary can spy on the node network, but does not have to pay the full cost of running one node per IP address.
Unfortunately, the exact fingerprint of the spy nodes is not being released because the spying adversary might be able to fix the fingerprint and set up new spy IP addresses. However, a large number of the suspected spy IP addresses are the same IP addresses implicated in ["LinkingLion"spying on the BTC node network as far back as 2020](https://b10c.me/observations/06-linkinglion/). The spying adversary is likely using the same IP addresses to spy on BTC and Monero.
Furthermore, most of the spying IP addresses are in a few "subnets", which are basically consecutive IP address numbers that can be purchased at a bulk price rate from IP address providers. Almost every IP address in the subnets have a suspected spy node, a status MRL is calling "subnet saturation". More details are in the [MRL GitHub issue](https://github.com/monero-project/research-lab/issues/126).
**2) Can I tell how many spy nodes my node is connected to?**
Yes. You can run the `peers.ip.collect()` function in the `xmrpeers` R package. See the "Examples" in the documentation [here](https://rucknium.github.io/xmrpeers/reference/peers.ip.collect.html#ref-examples). The function will also start to show the subnet saturation after running for about 24 hours.
**3) What is the privacy issue?**
Monero uses Dandelion++ for privacy of transactions relayed on its peer-to-peer node network. Dandelion++ provides strong privacy, but even its privacy can be weakened if there are too many spy nodes on the network. An adversary who controls a lot of spy nodes may be able to guess which user's IP address was the original sender of a Monero transaction.
**4) Won't the spying adversary just change its IP addresses?**
This is possible, but it's costly for the adversary. The LinkingLion BTC spying adversary is still using these IP addresses even though the spying has been publicly revealed for at least 21 months, which suggests that the adversary cannot easily change their IP addresses.
**5) Are more universal fixes possible so that a specific ban list doesn't have to be used?**
MRL will analyze the possible benefit of implementing an algorithm that chooses node peers to maximize diversity of Autonomous System Networks (ASNs), which are groups of IP addresses managed by the same entity. This algorithm could reduce the probability of connecting to too many potential spy nodes.
In the long term, there may be ways for nodes to verify that their peers are truly running a node instead of just proxying one node through many IP addresses.
**6) Why not block these IP addresses by default in the Monero node software?**
Blocking the IP addresses by default is technically possible, but it would set a precedent of blocking IP addresses by a decision making process that is semi-centralized. MRL has decided to ask node operators to block these IP addresses voluntarily instead of by default. | 2024-12-11 |

Hello! I created NFT Auction House smart contract on ETC network. Code is verified and published.
[https://etc.blockscout.com/address/0x2CEcaE117500979C33b61a945cE2Bb96c94eE4A9?tab=contract\_code](https://etc.blockscout.com/address/0x2CEcaE117500979C33b61a945cE2Bb96c94eE4A9?tab=contract_code)
User Interface URL: [AH.inArgentumVeritas.app](https://AH.inArgentumVeritas.app)
Looking for feedback from users of different types of devices. Maybe some experienced devs might bring some updates into our smart contract code.
It allows users to create an auction, set a price, place bids, withdraw bids, accept highest bid for auction sellers. It has completely working tracking of bid placement/withdrawals/acceptance and displays history of bids for each auction. We're compatible with every ERC721 and ERC1155 NFT token, doesn't matter the collection, you do not need to know ipfs data, it's simple, all you need is NFT's address & it's ID, you set the price and auction is created, you get your specific URL for your auction created which you can share with others. for example: [https://ah.inargentumveritas.app/auction.html?id=3](https://ah.inargentumveritas.app/auction.html?id=3)
Tried to make the UI as intuitive and simple as could be.
Auction is sold and ended only when PlaceBid meets or exceeds Reserve Price or auction seller accepts highest bid by himself.
Seller can end the auction by himself through End Auction function which will result into all bid withdrawals from the auction and returning the NFT to the owner.
2% (changable to stay competitive) Fee is taken ONLY from accomplished sells, deduced from highest/accepted bid before being transfered to auction seller.
I'm sure it's use-able through blockchain explorer, atleast through [etc.blockscout.com](http://etc.blockscout.com) (tested)
Everything been tested with MetaMask, so would appreciate feedback from TrustWallet users aswell.
We tested it among few friends, hoping to get wider audience to test with now,
UI is still being updated here and there, it may visually change, but functionality is alright =\]
Mechanics of the Functions:
• startAuction:
Transfers the NFT from the seller to the contract.
Sets up the auction details including the reserve price and token type.
Emits an AuctionStarted event.
• PlaceBid:
Checks if the auction is active and if the bid is higher than the current highest bid.
Updates the highest bid and bidder.
Emits a BidPlaced event.
If the highest bid meets or exceeds the reserve price, it finalizes the auction by transferring the NFT and funds.
The PlaceBid function allows bidders to add to their previous bids,
ensuring that their total bid amount is considered when determining the highest bid.
This mechanism ensures that bidders can incrementally increase their bids without losing their previous contributions,
making the auction process more flexible and competitive.
• acceptHighestBid:
Allows the seller to accept the highest bid.
Transfers the NFT to the highest bidder and funds to the seller.
Emits an AuctionEnded event.
• withdrawBid:
Allows any bidder, including the highest bidder, to withdraw their bid if the auction is still active.
If the highest bidder withdraws their bid, the contract resets the highest bid and highest bidder,
then searches the bid history to find the next highest bid.
Updates the bid history and emits a BidWithdrawn event.
Transfers the withdrawn bid amount back to the bidder.
• cancelAuction
Allows the seller to end an auction.
Returns the NFT to the seller and refunds any bids.
Emits an AuctionEnded event.
• Ownership and Permissions:
The contract uses an onlyOwner modifier to restrict certain functions to the contract owner,
such as setting fees and forcefully ending auctions.
The onlyOwner modifier ensures that only the contract owner can perform sensitive operations.
• Token Transfers:
The contract interacts with ERC721 and ERC1155 tokens using their respective interfaces.
It ensures safe transfers of NFTs using transferFrom for ERC721 and safeTransferFrom for ERC1155.
The contract handles the transfer of funds securely,
ensuring that the seller receives the highest bid amount minus the auction house fee.
• Bid Security:
The contract maintains a bid history and allows bidders to withdraw their bids.
It ensures that funds are securely transferred back to bidders
in case of bid withdrawals or auction cancellations or sold auctions that they didn't win.
• Event Emissions:
The contract emits events for key actions such as starting an auction, placing a bid,
ending an auction, and withdrawing a bid.
This provides transparency and allows external systems to track the auction's progress.

If it's just a bull run for the start of 2025, than head and shoulders to what ever TRIPLE TOP. Right now we made a shoulders, let's HOLD tight.
This is the 12 hour chart I'm looking at. 7.15 is the # to break.
If this 12 hour chart isn't making a head and shoulders, and we ain't NO MEME, than LETS go for the BIG W, with a LONG weakly candle GREEN!
To some this might sound alien, to others, I'm scattered and probably get the just of where I am coming from.
