Hey folks, So I've got this paper where I question the whole idea that 'proof of work' is really about network security or solving Byzantine issues.…

I’m super passionate about this whole topic. If you really wanna get our perspective on the spam war, check out this video. It's a solid starting…

Hey everyone, quick question. I set up Bitcoin Core to run a full node, but I also want to mine a bit. Not looking to profit, just wanna help. I…

So, this talk about BIP-177, renaming 1 satoshi to 1 bitcoin... Sounds kinda sketchy to me. If I get it right, that means the price would show as…

I'm working on a Bitcoin app that's for learning purposes. It runs in the terminal but has a UI with buttons and stuff. Doing this for fun, but I…

Anyone know where I can find the source code for Bitcoin version 0.1? I only see 0.2.0 on Sourceforge.

I’ve been thinking... what if we could automate testnet resets. Like, know beforehand when it’s gonna happen and switch over without a hitch.

I was messing around with a python script and bitcoinlib to create a vanity address. Trying to get one like 1(name) where (name) is just 4…

Been digging into quantum computers and Bitcoin for a while now. Not sure if QC really poses a threat to SHA-256. Can we even mine more BTC in a…

Check out testnet3 and mempool.space. It's wild how it shows mempool state vs what your node sees. You'd think that once your node finishes…

Raspiblitz, Umbrel, myNode... those are popular choices.

I wanna throw out this idea for a new consensus model called Proof of Activity or PoA. Basically, it tackles some issues with existing PoS models…

Looking for a lightweight wallet that won’t download the whole BTC blockchain. Blockstream Green seems cool, but I wanna connect it to my Regtest…

Hey all, I'm on the hunt for some archived Bitcoin network data from around 2012. Ideally, I want info on transaction propagation or node activity.…

Hey everyone, I'm having a tough time getting my Bitcoin Core wallet up and running on Windows. I keep seeing this error: Error reading from…

Are MultiSig wallets really safe or just for people who know what they're doing? I wanted to use one for added security, but now I'm second-guessing…

Hey folks! I just reinstalled Windows and now Bitcoin Core shows 38 inbound and 10 outbound connections. Is that normal? Safe?

I found a code that makes unique address names for your crypto portfolio. You just tell me what you need, and I can share it. For example, it…

I've seen a lot of people asking how to check balances for tons of bitcoin addresses. Like, if you've got a list of thousands, what's the trick?

My computer crashed the other day and it messed up a block. I had to rerun bitcoind with -reindex to fix it. Now I'm trying to figure out how to…

Just fired up Bitcoin Core on my MacBook and now it’s downloading the whole blockchain again. I’ve got the right folder set up on my external SSD…

Just let me know how much Bitcoin Testnet you want, why you need it, the version, and your wallet address. I've got both v3 and v4 ready. I can even…

So, I was messing around in my spare time and whipped up this script that generates a Bitcoin address with an extra secret code based on schnorr…

not really sure what’s going on with my BIP38 code... had some tests on it but it’s not matching up. I’m using Cyberchef for the scrypt function and…

Just wanted to share my latest project that tackles the huge energy consumption problem in mining. It's called "derroi/lines" and it's way more…
