But wait a second. Blocks have been over 1 MB for a while now, so why is this a thing? Miners can totally publish smaller blocks if they want, so I see some potential issues with this. Like, couldn’t a bad actor just…
- Transaction Stuck for Days Need GuidanceMay 7, 2025
The deposit address choice doesn’t change much for you, but going with SegWit helps the network overall.
- Understanding Bitcoin's Monetary InflationJan 6, 2025
The money supply goes up consistently, starting at 50 BTC every 10 minutes, then 25 BTC, then 12.5 BTC. That's why the blue line is straight with a decreasing slope every four years or so.
Or just carry a weapon to avoid these situations. If Bitcoin keeps going up, acquiring a gun could be a challenge.
My concept needs a single deposit address. So BTCpay generating new ones won’t fit my needs. I thought I could just call an API for transaction data, but now I’m reconsidering.
For sure, quantum computers would have to compete with ASICs, which are way faster than classical computers. So, they might not be a huge threat just yet.

There are indeed 2^256 possible SHA256 results, and 2^160 possible RIPEMD160 results. Since there are more SHA256 outcomes than RIPEMD160, you'd expect some SHA256 results to match when hashed with RIPEMD160.…
- Understanding the Last Bitcoin Mining TimelineSep 17, 2018
The actual coding part is what really matters. By the 64th halving, which is like 256 years from now, the base reward hits zero. But we’ll probably see it reach zero earlier since the rewards drop below 1 satoshi way…
- Understanding the Last Bitcoin Mining TimelineSep 16, 2018
The columns marked "Left To Mine" and "Mined BTC" skip the small fractions of a bitcoin. That "Reward" info is in satoshis, not whole BTC.
- Mechanical Hashing ConceptsSep 10, 2018
I’m not sure about a mechanical approach but if you wanna try, paper and pencil work too. I found a guide that explains how to mine using just those.
