Right? It's just a markdown. I couldn't find any info on Einstein-Tiling either. Feels like a draft more than anything. Where's the actual explanation of what it is? All I see are benefits listed.

Laws are clearly skewed. A $500 fine is nothing for a millionaire. But for someone earning a grand a month, that’s a huge hit. It's like laws are just words on paper that mean nothing to the wealthy.

Bitcoin is like a modern gold, easier to manage. I get the idea that it could make wars costlier, and I wish that were true. But for that to happen, people need to realize their savings are being eroded daily and start…

Rising energy use proves mining is still profitable. Lowering mining costs could make profits skyrocket. With new tech, you’d expect energy use to drop, but that might actually not happen.

Listen, I appreciate everyone here trying to help. I definitely didn’t want to come off disrespectful. I just need assistance with this password situation. My attempts at brute-force with tools like Hashcat have been…

I think you're referring to the coinbase transaction. There isn’t really a thing called 'coinbase reward.' It's more about the block reward, which includes both the block subsidy and transaction fees. So, the coinbase…

A lot of people just want Bitcoin as an investment though.

Not to mention, once Bitcoin is widely adopted, it could help reduce poverty by cutting down on the Cantillon effect, or what some call the inflation tax. Inflation helps the wealthy since they get fiat money first.…

But what’s the point of this? I mean, what even is a lottery system in crypto? To my understanding, it’s supposed to be verifiable and fair. Like, using block hashes for randomness... is that right?

But not everyone sees it that way. There's no solid agreement on covenants. OP_CTV might be the favorite, but plenty of folks aren’t on board with it, just like OP_CAT.

Demand will follow price. Everyone’s piling in for different reasons.

Monero is actually gaining traction for utility. It’s being used more for transactions recently.

But if Bitcoin isn’t used for small purchases, its growth is going to be limited. Digital cash demand is way bigger than any real estate hype.

I’ve changed my mind about Wasabi. The previous partnership was sketchy. But now they’re community-driven, which is a good sign.

Check out this article about metadata. Bitcoin does leak some info, and if someone’s determined enough, they could use chain analysis. Coinjoin is really the way to go.

This year memory usage from unconfirmed transactions hit an ATH. Frustration with Ordinals lasted for months, not just a week like in 2017. Right now, I’m using 300MB of my 300MB limit, purging low-value transactions.…

Anyone tried running Core with bare minimum RAM? I’ve got 4GB, and it’s painfully slow at times. Startup checks for recent blocks can take ages. I can’t imagine someone running it with 256MB. Honestly, 1GB should be the…

You’re not considering that if spam isn’t controlled, Bitcoin could really struggle. It’s about protecting the network.

If you hash a random message, the chance the hash starts with five zeros is 1 in 16^5. Easy to check if it does, but hunting down a message that meets the criteria is a whole different story. That’s why PoW is hard to…

You really think BIP110 will even get a decent hashrate? If it doesn’t, it’ll just end up like BCH.
