Hi there,

I could need some help regarding an old wallet.dat that I‘ve found in my Dropbox. It most likely wont have any coins on it because I always transfered them to shady exchanges - which got hacked sooner or later and never followed the advice „Not your coins - not yout wallet“. Anyway, I want to check the balance of it. Most likely it should be Litecoin, but I also did Bitcoin/Monero and a ton of other shitcoin mining in the past.

Does someone has an idea on how to figure out, whats in there? Maybe without the need to download the full blockchain of multiple coins?

Thanks in advance.

Say what you will about crypto youtube, but there are a handful of youtubers worth watching that I won't name here. The problem is, we have to be careful while browsing crypto youtube.

If you are watching a video from a crypto youtuber, you may have seen ads like this one where the thumbnail promises dozens of eth daily in profit: https://i.imgur.com/uECItDN.png

While looking for a specific youtuber, I saw this sponsored ad: https://i.imgur.com/ckAxmuk.png

You're not gonna make dozens of eth in a single day. The moral of the story here is, "Just stay safe on youtube." as much as it sounds like common sense.

I'm almost 100% certain that all of the youtubers who make these videos are just hired faces from Fiverr. You can just go to fiverr and search "green screen actors" or "green screen presenters" or something like that.

tl;dr: Ditch tariffs. Use gradually increasing onshoring quotas enforced via public blockchains to build resilient, transparent supply chains—without sparking retaliation.

With quotas, there’s no need for counter-tariffs—meaning consumers aren’t hit with immediate additional price hikes.

Quotas could be phased in, gradually requiring that a rising share of goods (e.g. semiconductors, steel, etc.) be made domestically. This would give industries time to adapt while avoiding trade wars.

Let’s say the end goal is a minimum of 50% domestic production after a 10-year transition period, with quotas gradually increasing until that target is reached.

This approach protects local industries from being priced out by regions with little or no labor or environmental standards, while also incentivising onshoring of industries not currently located locally.

The other 50% can be sourced from diversified allied regions, with no more than 15% from any single foreign region—balancing resilience, redundancy, and global cooperation.

Why are they doing tariffs instead of quotas?

Enforcement/oversight is the tricky part—because today, quota enforcement would rely on a mix of self-reporting, third-party audits, and government inspections, all of which can be opaque, slow, and prone to manipulation. It’s hard to verify where things are actually made, especially across complex, multi-national supply chains.

Public blockchains can fix this by making supply chain data transparent, tamper-proof, and verifiable in real time. Each step in the production process—from raw material sourcing to final assembly—can be logged on-chain. Smart contracts could automatically flag violations or confirm compliance with quota requirements.

No more black boxes, forged paperwork, or delayed audits. Just open, decentralized accountability.

Thoughts?
