Yep, you can adjust it. Just depends on your wallet setup.

You might wanna hit up n0nce, he put together a faucet project that’s pretty good here. But mining on testnet is kinda like mainnet, just the difficulty rules tweak a bit.

Been pondering this and honestly, it's not just bad strategies making newbies fail. There are tons of free strategies out there! The real issues are usually bad risk management, overleveraging, and always hunting for…

Before sending, always check mempool fees. Right now, the low priority fee is around 13 sat/vbyte. Yours is too low for miners to care.

I suggest going for Debian. It's got a solid community and tons of support. But, hey, it really depends on your preferences.

So, Spain finally recognizes crypto as valuable, huh? Guess they wanna get their cut... I can see other countries jumping on this bandwagon too.

It’s not exactly rare. It’s more about low probability, kinda like a lottery thing. Sometimes miners just get lucky and solve empty blocks. The mining process? It’s all about randomness from the double hash sha256.

Absolutely! But tbh, this just means we should keep our crypto off of banks and CEXs. Don't wanna hand them more power, right?

Totally agree. Could be a CPU issue or just random chance. But honestly, anyone with some sense would just generate another key.

What's next? Are they gonna roll out another crappy token? I mean, if they made bank with this one, why not keep pushing more? Just saying... it’s a cycle.

I’m looking for a quicker way to find the next valid WIF by checking for the next 01 in the encoded byte. But it seems like it’s more complicated than my current method, so I’m dropping that idea. PawGo, if you’ve got…

True, implementing the right increments could let me crack this in less than 30 mins on CPU. Definitely need to run some tests. Example keys I’m working with: L1dU1111d4NTd71111116zCyXqGyWXhXTa16dNWXZs7cpdk6en2t I’m…

Thought I’d start this convo about WIFs with missing parts. Anyone else dealt with these strange cases? For instance, if I have a public key, I would: - Brute force the first 4 missing characters - Use BSGS to tackle…

Sounds interesting! I wanna hear what you think, but shutting down Bitcoin seems pretty tough. Probably as hard as shutting down the whole internet, right? Anyway, I’m curious about those weaknesses.

Thanks for the clear explanation. This definitely helps!

Exactly, that's the crux of this topic. According to the math, same R and S can only happen if the hash is identical across messages for the same public key. I checked the signatures too, and all are sharing the same R…

Signature verification is pretty standard across all transactions. If you want a deep dive, check this link out: https://cryptobook.nakov.com/digital-signatures/ecdsa-sign-verify-messages But to give you the gist, you…
