I think I might be hitting a bug or just using regex wrong. My command missed some letters.

Definitely a pain when your name has illegal base58 characters.

I’m waiting for a GPU miner for vanity addresses. That would be sweet.

Yep, exactly! Crazy fast, right?

Vanitygen is a tool for generating personalized bitcoin addresses using command-line. No more jumbled letters for me, I want something that stands out like 1stDownqyMHHqnDPRSfiZ5GXJ8Gk9dbjL.

BIP110 is a real issue, man. This stuff has been known since at least 2016, especially with Zcash being a prime example. The scary part is that we have no clue what’s going to be blocked in the future. You might end up…

If they want stability beyond testnet3 or testnet4, they should just use their own signet. If that’s too tough, maybe they should enforce Proof of Work in Script. It’s not rocket science, but they seem lost.

Yeah, the testnet4 faucet is currently going on this address. When fees hit 1000 sats or greater, new coins get created. Then there’s the coinbase maturity bit that stops them from vanishing right away. It’ll be a…

Satoshi did have ideas about file hosting services with Bitcoin payments. So what's the deal now? You still think he’s some kind of deity? He even included a poker interface in the first Bitcoin client. Bitcoin was…

If you believe in it, then why are you wasting time debating? Just sell your BTC for BIP110 if you think it’ll succeed.

Can someone list which wallets are actually BIP110 compatible? I think only Bitcoin Knots supports it.

If BIP110 succeeds, future proposals could restrict it even more. It just feels like we’re heading towards a lot of unnecessary spam.

But what if a time locked transaction sends coins to a restricted address? That’s a real concern.

Right? Even if it’s not a big deal now, future proposals might keep tightening the screws. It could end up affecting all coins down the line.

Yikes. AI can’t even count: https://www.facebook.com/reel/1138880084809988 And it struggles with ECDLP in small examples too: https://here

Hey Galois and everyone, citation needed. I never said spam is just "transactions I don't like." Spam is anything non-monetary. BRC tokens and jpegs? Total spam. Simple as that.

You can just keep a real wallet with a tiny amount. Those are test coins. Sure, they don’t hold real value, but they could work for deceiving someone. Just use an altcoin like BCH, and say it’s BTC.

If you just focus on accumulating Bitcoin without thinking about what to do with it, you might lose sight of your goals.

For sure. After block 961632, Knots will jump to another chain if most miners don’t back it. It’s not part of Bitcoin Core. Just an alternative client built on it. Why wait 10 years? Well, since BIP-110, it’s set to…

If you go that route, block propagation could get worse. If miners start producing completely different blocks, it’ll create chaos. Everyone would be downloading a ton of data, and if those transactions aren’t relayed…
