This is wild. Just trying to get some help here, and it's turned into a whole debate. Can we stick to the issue at hand?

Yeah, you can definitely do this in Python too. You’ll need the mnemonic library for BIP39 and the bip32utils library for key derivation. Start by generating a new mnemonic phrase with the mnemonic library. Then use…

There's a few reasons for why smaller pools can out-mine bigger ones. It's often about luck, like if a pool hits a lucky streak. For example, if they find blocks way faster than expected, that’s just pure chance.

Good point! And let’s not forget how the dev team might have stopped pushing updates through announcements. So many wallets out there.

Upgrading from 23.0 to 25.0 should be pretty straightforward. Just back up your wallet.dat first, can’t hurt to be cautious. The descriptors were added back in 0.21.0, and there’s this great article by @achow101 about…

Best way to check server latency is using cmd on Windows or terminal on Mac/Linux. That’s actually more reliable than what you were using. Same command works across systems.

To answer ya directly: 1. Recommended solo pools are kano.is and CK's solo pool. You can check CK's solo pool stats for more info. 2. Your S19K should hit about 130 TH/s; stick to default port 3333. 3. CK's server might…

Depends on your skills. If you have time, building it yourself could save over $100. Plus, it’s way more rewarding to learn while doing it.

I could help with some 3D design for the bitaxe if needed! Might be easier than a business route. Plenty of simple cases out there if you dig around.

Yeah, I checked out their live stream of assembling the v2.2! I’d rather wait for a kit with the BM1366 than buy an S17 setup. Still curious about the idea of using more chips on a single board.

Huge thanks, Skot! Been following your journey for a while. Thought about building my own miner using your guides, but still haven't taken the plunge. Do you think we could connect multiple chips on a single board in…

Yeah, in those newer versions rescanning should happen automatically. You can still do it manually using "rescanblockchain", and you can set block heights. But no need to back everything up after each new address HD…

What’s your Bitcoin Core version? You might want to try using the "rescan" command after imports. It tells Bitcoin Core to scan the blockchain for your imported key. This can take time but should list all addresses…

I want an S19 Pro too, but I'm clueless about the customs fees for shipping to Germany.

Here we go... S19 Pro: [link] S19: [link] Pro's got 110 TH/s and the regular S19 is at 95 TH/s.

Dude, that Fairphone is overpriced. It’s like they’re charging a premium for being eco-friendly.

Exactly. Unless you enable RBF beforehand, it won’t work. But if you did, you can replace the transaction later.

But what if fees spike before you meet? Or the seller can't give you the address in time? Mobile wallets aren't always reliable for that.

You could try the Coldcard Q1. It's supposed to be good and is coming out soon. If you're looking for something more smartphone-like, there are Linux phones that might fit your needs without raising too much suspicion.

I didn’t mention mini-PCs, but they really shouldn’t be overlooked. They’re compact and energy-efficient. Some are even passive-cooled, so they’re super quiet compared to Raspi. Plus, better hardware overall.
