Just saw Bitcoin Core v31.1 dropped too! It fixes some issues with private broadcasts. Good to see them on top of things.

Nice! Just checked out mempool.space and they’ve already updated their graphs to show the new cluster relationships. That’s pretty quick. Makes tracking transactions easier.

Yeah, Cluster Mempool is a step forward, but it’s kinda niche. It shines when you have unconfirmed transactions with lots of recipients. I’ve been looking forward to it since it makes coinjoin confirmations more…

Coinjoin can help with tracing problems. Look at this transaction with several participants nearly impossible to trace.

Well, you can set up your own Bitcoin node and link your ASIC to it. But most folks go for solo pools like ckpool because they want stable connections.

Nah, you can be part of a solo pool. It’s literally just for those who mine alone but gets paid only if they actually hit a block.

Yeah, it’s all about the luck rates. Some pools run way better than others. Like, you could be mining solo but get rekt for months because you chose a bad pool.

You can definitely use Replace By Fee (RBF). Create a new transaction version with a higher fee.

Right? That’s why Wasabi Wallet is such a lifesaver. You don’t have to be a tech whiz or sync a node to use Bitcoin privately. Just a simple tool for everyone.

As the sender, you can chill a bit. But if you’re on the receiving end, wait for a confirmation. If two transactions try to double-spend, it’s up to the miners to go for the most profitable one, not necessarily the…

Check the dates on your logs. They’re from last year, so they might not reflect what’s happening now.

There's a solution to this from way back, BIP32 with hierarchical deterministic wallets. Just back it up once and you can generate tons of addresses, no hassle.

I’m into CTV, but all these competing ideas make me second-guess. OP_CAT seems cool, but it could be a disaster for block space.

About those covenant proposals... which ones are actually safe or efficient?

One year from now, I wonder what’s changed. Ark’s overview is updated and they’re launching Ark Labs. Ark v2 is out too. Anyone checked the roadmap?

You can totally send to others with coinjoins too, it’s not just about sending to yourself.

Not really accurate, my dude. If the receiver has a 7 BTC input and the sender is spending 5 BTC, they won’t split that input up. Instead, they create a single 12 BTC output. Payjoins are actually cheaper in fees…

True, no one can predict the future, but mining difficulty is rising and it might affect BTC value.

The signing happens first, then it broadcasts. If it’s an invalid transaction, nada happens after it’s broadcasted.

But he borrowed that money, so it’s not really ‘his’ to begin with.
