Your intentions are good, but your software could be a target for supply chain attacks. Hackers might compromise it and swap addresses to steal funds. You need to invest in security audits to build trust.

Innovations often come from the need for ease, not just from chaos. Cars and electricity weren't made due to evil; they were created to make life better.

Runes! Thanks for sharing, OP! Anyone got a source for these runes? They’re kinda mesmerizing.

I noticed you call Bitcoin digital money but also separate it from cryptocurrency in your abstract. That’s fascinating! Seems like a bold distinction to make.

There are different attack scenarios state actors could consider. First, there's the 51% attack, which could aim to control most of the mining power. Then there's a quantum computing attack on Bitcoin's cryptography.

I just saw news about some crazy AI. OI is a big deal, but it’s wild how we’re diving into all this tech.

Here’s the weekly weighted averages for reference: 1. 2011-06-04 to 2011-06-10 Avg: 23.38 2. 2011-06-05 to 2011-06-11 Avg: 22.62 and so on.

The top 100 ain’t special. Top 200 shows the same thing, even more pronounced.

What do you mean by that? The day isn’t over yet.

Yeah, my line's distorted by those three kings. If I tilt it a bit, it'll look better.

That’s the king effect for ya. Most points fit the line, but the top ones are above it. This means we probably won’t see the top 10 days with similar prices, so a drop is likely after the peak.

Digging deeper, there’s something called the king effect. Basically, when Bitcoin crosses $30, it’ll either keep going or drop hard. Like a fork in the road.

Here’s a list of the top days for Bitcoin in terms of weighted averages: 1. 2011-06-09 Avg: 29.58 2. 2011-06-08 Avg: 27.25 3. 2011-06-10 Avg: 24.67 4. 2011-06-13 Avg: 20.11 5. 2011-06-07 Avg: 19.90 6. 2011-06-15 Avg:…

Bitcoin? Super easy to buy, but mining? That's a different story.

I get what you're saying, but if you had enough control over nodes to make the median timestamp look different from the actual time, could that work? Maybe?

Is it even possible to attack nodes to mess with Bitcoin's difficulty adjustment by sending wrong timestamps? Like, can we really screw with the system that way?

What do we expect, then? Tens of thousands of transactions per second? The 10-minute confirmation is about security too.

I couldn’t find anything concrete about it being a bitaxe miner. Someone has to step up and claim it.

Yep, it’s like gambling. You might win once, but don’t count on it.

Just checked a tweet that mentioned global adoption rankings. Seems like it’s about cryptocurrencies not just Bitcoin.
