You can’t repurpose heat from mining in Africa like you can in colder places. That’s a challenge.

Just a heads-up, adding a passphrase to an existing seed isn’t really possible. You’d end up with a whole new wallet and keys. If you want the passphrase setup, you’ll have to reset.

If both transactions consume the same UTXOs, then the unconfirmed transaction is invalid and can never be confirmed (regardless of when it was created or broadcast). It will be dropped from the mempool.

I just choose whichever stablecoin has good liquidity on whatever platform I'm using. I don’t dive deep into the tech since I don’t hold them for long. To me, all these centralized coins carry risks.

But what if you’re a DCA investor holding tons of small UTXOs? Consolidating those inputs with high fees will be rough. It’s like we’re being pushed back to custodial wallets.

Yeah, your plan works if it’s all off centralized exchanges. But good luck explaining to the IRS how you funded your company. They’ll have records when you return to the US, so be careful.

Yeah, I noticed Bitcoin wasn’t even mentioned initially. Kinda weird, right?

But what about people who can't afford hardware? I found this NiceCash thing, any thoughts?

Yeah it’s probably better to just sell the electricity... way less hassle.

It’s not a feature; it’s how the system works. Having more UTXOs means more inputs, not necessarily worse for fees, but also not better.

You’d think they’d keep it simple like the old days... I just want clarity on what's happening to my funds, not extra fees.
