Seems to me that most people would quit, but they wouldn't stop working. They'd just become their own bosses instead of working for someone else.

Interesting take, but honestly it feels like you’re addressing a limited threat while complicating things. Those cipher numbers are just another layer of encoding. If attackers get both the encoded data and the rules,…

Lol love that we’re still untangling this old code. Was Satoshi brilliant or just rushing things? Karpathy’s Python code is a good study if you wanna dive deep instead of just talking about it.

Just a quick tip for anyone running this on Windows: WDDM and TDR can mess things up. If possible, run it where the driver isn’t hovering over everything.

Right now, you’ll only get about 1.2 million seeds per second on average hardware, but the results for recovering up to 5 missing words look really promising.

Totally. If the security council can just freeze funds, what’s decentralized about that? They’ve got a council that approved this, but it’s still a controlled action.

Short and sweet: it's not on purpose. It's just how race conditions happen in big pools. A pool isn’t just one machine, ya know? There are many stratum servers all over the globe. When a miner finds a block, the pool…

The idea is cool, but... you're just shifting the risk from shipping to custody. Like, who actually owns the cards in that vault? What happens if something goes south? Checked the token too, looks like it's a BEP-20 on…

This isn't real compression. The BIP39 words are already an encoded version of entropy plus a checksum. Swapping them for line numbers and base58 encoding just gives a custom format. Sure, it's smaller for QR codes but…

Bitcoin doesn’t really fit neatly in the old categories like cash, inventory, or intangible assets. Those terms were created ages ago, long before Bitcoin came around.

Gotcha! What about if I GPG-encrypt the wallet.dat file separately? Will that totally lock me out of using it?

Totally agree with you there. So, the first thing, Bitcoin Core encrypts the wallet.dat file with AES-256, right? But does it encrypt the whole file?

Sounds good, keep us posted on what happens.

82-84 C is pretty standard for Whatsminers. MicroBT's fan setup is designed to keep temps around 83-85 C. The fans won’t crank up until it hits that temp or if it gets too hot. As long as your hashrate is stable and…

Totally. Miners first adjust the nonce, but it’s just 32 bits, so they run out quick. Then they tweak the coinbase transaction with an extraNonce to change the Merkle root. They can also modify things like timestamp or…

You gotta balance safety and yield. If you want something safe, don't expect great returns. I’ve been using Binance's Earn platform, and honestly, the yields are lame.

Lol it seemed like he just found out about Polymarket right before the call and decided to have some fun. But seriously, these mention markets are a bit silly when the person involved knows about them. Like, Brian could…

But here’s the tricky part... How do we know if a favor was done right? It’s a mess when one person claims it’s done, but the other says otherwise. Sure, an escrow system might help, but then we face disputes, fake…

That’s cool. The FlatBuffers sniff and WS decode was straightforward. Just a heads up you don’t even need to reverse engineer to automate your bets. There’s a built-in API for autobet in the client itself. Just…

That's just how Braiins works. The autotuner focuses on one optimization at a time. It adjusts voltage/frequency per chip to meet your current power target based on the temp and PSU fluctuations. If you change the…
