The beginning of a new era at Bitcoin.com? Excerpt: In a significant development for Bitcoin.com, a trailblazer in the cryptocurrency domain, the company announces the resignation of its CEO, Dennis Jarvis, and the welcoming of Corbin Fraser as the new Interim CEO. This leadership change marks a new chapter in Bitcoin.com's journey towards making cryptocurrency accessible and usable for everyone, everywhere.
A buyer at the BitcoinTalk.org Forum bought both coins as a set on or about October 9, 2023. I shipped the coins without payment upfront and the buyer paid me upon receipt on or about October 12, 2023.
I was asking 0.02 BTC for each coin (about $500.00 dollars each at the time (and today (Nov. 12 2023) at current time about $740.00 dollars). I accepted the buyer's offer of that same price but for the set itself (or 2 for the price of 1).
Neither coin was loaded (with bitcoins) (nor have they ever been loaded). Each was unopened (the plastic protective cases). I've owned both coins since mint in 2016 by coinmaker Defcon23. Coins were/are both located here in the US.
Here's the SALE thread (with pictures and public replies from other users) at BitcoinTalk.org:
Roger Ver is the founder of Bitcoin.com and several other bitcoin (BCH / BTC) related companies. He's also a hero who defended Bitcoin Cash during the November, 2018 hashwar (BCH vs BSV, an extremely costly ($$$) war).
Today is upgrade day for Bitcoin Cash (BCH) so it's nice to see Roger's online appearance today which I think we can confidently take as a sign of his steadfast and unwavering support of Bitcoin Cash.
The BCH upgrade adds the CashTokens protocol to Bitcoin Cash making first layer (or native layer) tokens possible which can be used to build on chain smart contracts.
Sweeper bots are getting a lot hype on the interwebs and apparently many wallet users (e.g., MetaMask users) are scared scitless and petrofied of them.
Here's my take:
How would the sweeper bot sign the transaction without the private key? It cannot. At some point the user handed over their private key(s) or seed words.>
The only thing somewhat unique (a little at least) about "sweeper bots" is they're subtle in that they don't sweep the key (send the transaction) until the user sends a transaction. If the transaction amount meets the bot's threshold (they're might not 5$ dollar of ETH, for example) the bot then immediately creates a transaction using the same inputs and in the same amount but sends it with a higher fee so it will likely get confirmed first.
If the user is somewhat of a normie he/she might not know that something bad ever happened or at very least probably not right away. It could happen to them over and over. Even when they do start to suspect something, they might not understand what happened and might even think it was some error they themselves made (aside from giving away their private key(s)).
