Bitcoins decentralized and not owned by just one person, right? It's like a team effort where everyone contributes to keep it safe. Kind of like a…

Hey all, First post here, hope I'm doing it right. Been running some old Python scripts to find large outputs in transactions. Mostly see big…

I've been really puzzled about how ScriptPubKey and standard transactions connect. They sound similar on the surface, but I'm not sure how they fit…

Bitcoin was made for peer-to-peer transactions, not for tokens or contracts. It’s practically turned into digital gold. BRC-20 is messing with the…

So I’ve got these two signatures and trying to figure out the nonce. Here’s what I got: d1=(k1*s1-z1)/r1 k1=(d1*r1+z1)/s1 r1=(k1*s1-z1)/d1…

Just saw the news that Talagrand won the Abel Prize... big deal for random processes, right? I think this means we might understand predictability…

There’s a new BIP draft in the air, aimed at boosting Bitcoin’s security against quantum threats. Authors include some familiar names like Lopp,…

I just launched my project and it's open source. You can check it out here: https://github.com/sbounmy/hongbao_bitcoin. How do I get it verified by…

I just set up Bitcoin Core on my Windows 11 Pro. Took me like a day and a half to sync everything. The Bitcoin folder is huge, 608GB! I’m seeing 10…

If we have the y coordinate, can we figure out x? I feel like there must be a way.

So, I was thinking... what if ECDSA gets wrecked by quantum tech or some hidden flaw? Like, Bitcoin's security relies on it, right? Seems far-fetched…

Just put out a pull request on Bitcoin Core to talk about a one-time consensus that could help recover around 79,956 BTC taken during the MtGox hack…

Lately, I've been hearing a lot about how quantum computers might be a serious threat to Bitcoin and other cryptos. But then again, some coins are…

Is it possible to run BTC Core on Tails USB with Persistent Storage? I heard the latest versions let you upgrade without losing your saved data,…

Had a wild idea while dozing off. What do you all think about this concept?

Here's the thing. Even if quantum encryption becomes a reality, once quantum computing really takes off, current encryption methods will be outdated.…

Anyone know where I can get the hashraw software? It says on their about page that you can download a zip, but the GitHub links seem broken now.

A lot of folks just stash their private keys or recovery phrases in one spot. But if you’ve got a decent amount of coins or share your wealth, it’s…

Hey everyone, first time posting here. I’m starting a pay-per-download site for selling digital files. I need to keep my cut at 5% and want to…

What do we think is the best technical solution to bitcoin network congestion? Is there a way to manage transaction overload without relying on the…

Bitcoin's growing popularity has everyone talking about what can be done next for better scalability and privacy. CISA, or Cross-Input Signature…

Need some testnet bitcoins? Just solo mine them. I noticed a lot of guides out there are old, so I’m sharing this one with the latest tools.

I'm thinking about a new crypto model that combines Proof of Work with forged blocks. Basically, you mine blocks with PoW, but then you also randomly…

We often chat about Bitcoin's 21 million cap, but what happens after 2140? The block subsidy will hit zero then, and miners will rely solely on…

So, I’m working with LoyceV to make all public keys for Bitcoin addresses available. I’ve got the coding part sorted, and LoyceV will host it.
