But we gotta be careful. If sidechains don’t have enough miner support, it could backfire.

It's true, Traditional and Simplified aren’t just different fonts. They can generate different seeds due to their character encodings. The words selected for each list are also different. You can read more about it…

Caldwell’s code for mini keys is available here: github.com/casascius/Bitcoin-Address-Utility. It might be exactly what you’re looking for.

Not saying much right now. But honestly, I have a strong case about my original rights regarding the Bitcoin logo.

Totally. But using something public domain shouldn’t be a problem. Plus, the Olympic rings are trademarked, unlike the Bitcoin logo.

Wait, so you’re saying the logo is public domain? Because that would mean there's no copyright. And trademarks are a different ball game. Have you registered your trademark?

I’m confused. If the logo is public domain, how can anyone restrict its use?

This identity topic has been beaten to death over the last 15 years. Speculating without solid proof? Pointless.

You can’t really subtract a private key from a public key. They’re different types of numbers. And remember, private keys are always positive integers.

Interesting concept you got. But does your device store just one private key or like a whole seed setup?

For real, your code's got it wrong. The prefixes like 0x02 or 0x03 just depend on the public key value, not the private key.

There’s a thread about Umbrel issues that might have what you need. Plenty of others have shared their experiences... could lead you to a fix.

TL;DR: A blockchain is literally a chain of blocks. Bitcoin is just a name. Blocks group transactions, and those blocks connect sequentially into a chain. It’s pretty simple when you think about it.

Honestly, it’s hard to say anything without more details on what exactly the NFL was pushing for. Seems kinda vague right now.

The default port is just that default. For other nodes to find yours, it connects to them and shares its address and port. I have multiple nodes on my local network with non-default ports, and external nodes can connect…

You brought up a good point, but neither base64 nor base58 is really 'human-usable'.

A BIP-39 phrase is a binary value encoded as a series of words. If you're gonna 'compress' it, better to just use that binary value. You can't really squeeze it down any more.

I see it like this: imagine the curve is a bunch of branches spreading out. It’s simple but effective.

Not really my area of expertise, but if z isn't tied to the message, then that same signature could work for any message. Just saying... If someone wanted to fake a signature pretending to be Satoshi, how could they do…

Totally agree. If you can’t explain it simply, maybe it’s not worth doing.
