Honestly, for most people, there’s not much difference. Best advice I found said to print both. Ink and paper aren’t that expensive compared to someone losing wallet access because of a wrong list. Plus, character…

Totally agree, setting everything up again is such a pain. Just a tip, though: it’s a good idea to back up your important stuff onto another SD card. Old cards can fail and it's not worth losing your settings.

Sounds like you're stuck in a reboot loop. I had something similar. You might wanna try a recovery guide via SSH if that helps. I can send you the steps. But honestly, re-flashing the card might be easier. Just re-enter…

Honestly, the mining market is pretty niche. Intel dipped their toes in but bounced because the profits just aren’t there, even if they had a functional mining division.

There's a lot of ASIC makers out there, and the profitability varies. You can check it out anytime. Bitmain, MicroBT, Canaan they’re all part of the game. But yeah, cashing in now is less risky than waiting on factors…

I’ve heard some mining pools have their own custom ASICs. Why not sell them? Maybe they think keeping them gives them an edge in profits and they don't want others copying their tech.

I'd say go for the heater option if that works for you. Been there, done that with a few miners. Just depends on your electricity costs. If I just want to warm up one room, it could be worth it.

Yeah, but think of all the folks running a couple of miners here and there. Countless people with a few hundred TH/s chipping in. They might barely break even but they keep stacking BTC.

But where do you get these stats? I know a couple of unused data centers that are just starting to mine in NY. Despite restrictions, they’re 100% renewable and small, so no one really notices them, but they’re there.

From what I've seen, most USB-C ports only do data transfer. A few might do video too, but options are limited.

Remember the first block? Satoshi put a message about the banks in there. If he wanted, he could’ve added more, but he didn’t. BIP110 is as dead as BSV.

I've had a few 'nodes in a box' like Umbrel and MyNode. They did overheat sometimes. Usually due to external stuff like a dead fan. But when it's open with a good heatsink, it runs fine. Biggest issue was bad power…

Check this out: https://someforumlink.com Can you run a node? Sure, but be ready to tinker a lot. Should you? If you wanna learn and geek out, go for it. But no, you don't need it just to transact.

Maybe it’ll be worth it in the long haul. You could download chunks each month, and after a while have a complete node. Once you get it, you can just copy it to a new node when needed. Or, just throwing this out there,…

Why not just run this locally? Old i5/i7 machines with 1TB SSDs are pretty cheap these days. Some mini PCs are well under $250 too. In the end, renting can cost more.

Last time I tried this, which was like a year ago, it took me around 3 weeks. Not so much about memory, more about patience. Got a fully synced node you trust? You could just transfer it over.

If you’re sitting at 10% network support, you’ll face major pushback. It’s a risky game to play.

Mostly true. Companies tend to develop their own software or use third-party solutions. bcoin is pretty solid, but development is slow at the moment.

Yeah, but there are more Core nodes than Knots, so their signaling won’t mean much. We’d need more than 14% to change miner support.

These peeps clearly don’t understand Bitcoin. If they take coins away, BTC values will plummet. Miners and exchanges won’t support it.
