$500k isn’t out of reach at all. I mean, even a million wouldn’t sound crazy to me. Remember in 2017, $100k seemed impossible? Now we see what Bitcoin can do. I’m all in on investing in Bitcoin right now.

But the order can definitely vary in block space. Once a miner is mining, the order of transactions in that block matters to some extent. What exactly are you trying to compare?

Why’s everyone still overreacting about quantum computers taking down Bitcoin? They haven’t even really tapped into what quantum tech can do yet.

I’m on the same page. The limited supply is definitely a huge factor for me. Bitcoin’s journey from the beginning has shown it’s a solid investment.

Solo mining pool? You mean just solo mining, right? Have you actually downloaded Bitcoin Core from the official site? If you’re on Windows, just run the setup file. Or you can just use bitcoind and command line with…

@marc3535, you can either create that symbolic link or adjust the datadir in your bitcoin.conf to point to where your blockchain data is.

It's simple, you divide the max target by the block hash.

That’s block 756951. It’s got a difficulty over 50 quintillion! Right now, we’re at 127 trillion. That’s about 393k times harder to solve. With 900 EH/s, the network has just over 2% chance to mine a block at that…

It’s like with any product, really. If they sell, they go to a centralized exchange or maybe do a private deal. People buy those coins just like any other goods.

Not sure if you can calculate Z like that. If you only have one pair of R and S, that’s a no-go. If you got two pairs, and k is the same for both, you still can't find Z. You only have R, S1, and S2. It’s not enough...…

Hey there!

I see where you’re coming from, but most Bitcoin wallets do suggest fees pretty reliably. And about "vbyte costs" being fixed? That’s not true. When the mempool is clear, those vbytes are worthless. Value only comes in…

You’ll need to convert the private keys to WIF format. I don’t really know any wallet that supports hex format. But don’t worry, it’s pretty simple. Just code a small program to add the necessary prefixes and checksums.

Donations for the good wallets. People that write good bitcoin software are likely to also have large bitcoin holdings already. You must have lost the last episodes. The default coordinator (zkSNACKs) has been shutdown.…

If those keys come from a master key, just import the master public key into your wallet linked to your node. This way, you don’t have to expose your private keys online. If they’re not master keys, then yeah, you might…

True, the Satoshi stash might serve as a warning sign. Any breach could spark huge concern, but it’s years away still.

Reality check: support Bitcoin and deal with the noise or ditch it for the alternative. Fiat is not the answer either.

Yeah, living next to that must be awful. If I lived near Marathon, I'd sell my house ASAP. Imagine having loudspeakers blasting noise at the legal limit. Would you really be okay with that?

In theory, it could work. I haven’t run BTC Core on Tails yet, so there might be config settings to tweak. But broadcasting transactions means sending to multiple nodes, which can’t identify you as the sender, even if…

As a Tails user, I really wouldn’t recommend downloading the entire blockchain onto a USB stick. I’ve dealt with tons of USB corruption issues over two years, had to reinstall Tails like five times. Plus, keeping it…
