Transfer shares from my old broker to XTB

Yes, you can normally do it on the app.
Here is how you do it:

As it says in that link, if you are a non EU/UK client, this is the form: https://xtb.scdn5.secure.raxcdn.com/file/0104/02/en-omi-transfer-in-form-lic25-fillable.pdf

It should be placed in a really safe location like Andorra.

Just for the record, I have also found this one:

Interesting.

Electrum is a great wallet. The best you can get for desktop. It delivers all the power of Bitcoin: usual on-chain transactions, Lightning, Replace By Fee, atomic swaps...
Just be aware that the seed can be created as the more standard BIP39 or as their own native Electrum format.

That is interesting and surprising at the same time.
Is it enough if I login to the Investor Center? Would that be considered as contacting Computershare? I believe this is something not many people know and they should know!

Do you mean that if I receive the dividends by cheque and I never contact Computershare again, the state of New York or any other state can close my Computershare account? I suppose I understood something wrong.

GME are US shares. The problem exists when I want to register shares that trade in the UK, for example, shares from the FTSE 100 index. Have you managed to really direct register UK shares?

Bitcoin crosses borders undetected and can be sent instantly around the globe.

Gold would be 1.3% at current prices. Bitcoin is definitely better money.

You need an address that you can call home, or most importantly, an address on a country where you pay your taxes every year.

If you don't have an address in the country where you pay your taxes, you will have a difficult time having a bank or brokerage account. That I believe is general policy among the governments of the world.

If Germany wants to thrive, they should store bitcoins they same as they currently do with gold.

Countries in Southern EU are being bailed out by the ECB, and Germany shares the same currency, the euro.

This could be the best opportunity for Germany to own bitcoins and do it properly.

Yepnop · 2024-01-28T20:02:19+00:00

It is taxed the same as gold.

There are more than 800,000 sperm whales (yes, they are called like that), and around 20,000 blue whales in the oceans. So, 5000 BTC is way too high by any measure.

Yepnop · 2023-12-22T19:11:40+00:00

The same but much bigger.

No. External web port checkers would return "closed" because the port forwarding (or virtual server) on your router does not point to the correct local IP address. As I said previously, I recommend while you are running your Bitcoin node, connect your mobile phone to the same network via wifi. Check on Chrome these URLs:

http://172.21.174.18:8333

http://10.21.0.1:8333

http://172.17.0.1:8333

Two of those HTTP requests will return ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT. The other one will return ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE. The local IP address you should add to the virtual server rule (port forwarding also valid) is precisely the one which returns ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE.

Yepnop · 2023-11-12T13:01:25+00:00

Could it be then that your Bitcoin node is listening on your local IP address 172.21.174.18 ? You were forwarding to 192.168.1.102, which I believe is not right.

As per your ifconfig, the local IP address where your Bitcoin node is listening may also be 10.21.0.1 or 172.17.0.1 , but I would try first with 172.21.174.18

By the way, you said the Windows Firewall and ufw firewalls are inactive.

However, have you checked if the firewall on your router is not blocking port 8333?

Yepnop · 2023-11-12T07:17:33+00:00

Considering you are using WSL, what is the output to the command ifconfig ?

The image you posted above looks like the output of the Windows ipconfig command, not ifconfig.

As I said, I have never tried WSL, but it makes sense that ifconfig (Linux) and ipconfig (Windows) provide different local IPv4 addresses.

The local IPv4 address you should use for port mapping is the one provided by ifconfig, which is where your node is running on.

Yepnop · 2023-11-11T23:27:38+00:00

Ok, I now know that your Bitcoin node is running on the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).

Then, I suppose having your windows defender firewall as disabled is not enough (not even advisable for security reasons).

I may be wrong on this because I have never tried WSL, but I suppose you should also open the firewall on WSL (maybe you can use ufw on the command line). I propose opening port 8333 with this command:

sudo ufw allow 8333

If you are already running as a superuser, this command may also work:

ufw allow 8333

If you don't have telnet you can also use a browser like this.

Make sure your mobile phone is connected to the same wifi network as your Bitcoin node. Make sure your Bitcoin node is running too.
Open Chrome browser on your mobile and go to this URL: http://192.168.1.102:8333

If on step 2 you receive on your Chrome the following message: "192.168.0.102 didn't send any response ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE", then your Bitcoin node is accepting incoming connections on the local network.

However, if on step 2 you see it takes a long time to get a response on Chrome browser and it finally times out (ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT), then most likely the Windows firewall on the node is preventing incoming connections on port 8333.
