I think they mean each node has a set number of channels, like 14 based on some shape from David Smith. But is that really how it works? It feels limiting if that's the case.

Have you checked out how Mac OS manages clipboard security? A quick search shows some useful insights. Don’t think many people here can offer more than what’s out there.

The Bitcoin blockchain isn’t growing as quickly as some think. The max block size is 4MB, but average is around 1.59MB this year. Current blockchain size is about 702GB. So that 24TB HDD will last you more than a…

1. Try using pruned mode. 2. Swap the storage drive with a bigger one internally if you can. You just need to let Bitcoin Core know where the data should go. Just keep in mind that losing power or disconnecting the…

I wouldn’t bother with this if warpwallet exists. But for those on Linux, it’s neat and convenient. If anyone asks, I’d point them to warpwallet instead.

Better, but if there’s no fee competition, why would miners care? No fee means no reason to include those transactions, right?

I kinda get where you’re coming from, but I’m not on board with this idea. First, it’s a hard-fork, and I doubt the Bitcoin community would back it. Plus, adding more complexity to the protocol isn’t the way to go. I’d…

But isn’t the block size unrelated to the miner type? Miners switch to ASICs to stay profitable, mainly because they can hash SHA-256D way faster. That's the core reason for the shift.

I’d be cautious about all those offers unless they can show proof they can submit directly to a mining pool. Some of them got negative trust because they expect tips for just using free public tools.

Couple of questions. 1. Is there a backup option? What if someone's iris gets damaged? 2. Seems like mnemonic phrases are still pretty convenient. Just stash it away, recovery’s pretty rare. 3. Scanning someone’s iris…

Good point. If you automate it with a bash script and a system service, you could make the pruning process easier. Just keep your system’s date and time in sync.

Let’s talk about P2Pool. It’s a decentralized mining option that’s kinda dying out since it needs a full node to operate. We should definitely see a revival because it’s not dead everywhere; Monero miners still pull…

Did you consult ChatGPT or what? You’ve got some inaccuracies in there. 1. Saying "Miners use powerful computers" is off. They actually use specialized hardware called ASICs. Regular computers can’t compete. 2. You…

Good point. I read the 20 minutes became standard back in 2013, thanks to Gavin Andresen. Seems like it’s changing around testing networks as well.

After about 4 days, I mined 4 blocks, but two went stale thanks to my slow internet. Not bad for ~0.05 tBTC. I plan to use that for testing some OPCODES or maybe donate it back to the faucet.

Compiled bfgminer after some digging for dependencies on my OS. One thing though, it doesn’t play nice with Bech32 addresses, but no major issues aside from that. Testing my mining efficiency now over a few days.

Someone should tell them to just modify Bitcoin Core and set up their own testnet. If they claim to work on complex stuff like ZK Rollup, it shouldn't be a problem.

That’s cool! Just tried it myself. What do you think about this view? I’m thinking checkboxes on the left would be useful to expand UTXOs.

Appreciate the effort! But did you read the contributor guide? Keeping the "Quantity" label and allowing a choice between "Tree mode" or "List mode" would be super helpful for wallets with lots of UTXOs.

This whole debate has been going for a while. It’s really about preference. Some see Knots as freedom, but I think it can be more of a flaw.
