I have a PC with opensuse leap 15.5 + KDE + bitcoin core 26.0 (/usr/local/bin/bitcoind -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root) the /home/bitcoin/.bitcoin (lrwxrwxrwx 1 bitcoin bitcoin) directory is a symlink to an external disk (/run/media/ibm/BB/BTCbc/ (drwxrwx--- 6 bitcoin bitcoin).
Have you checked whether your external disk always mounted on exactly same path? If that external disk always mounted when you turn on your PC, consider editing fstab file to make sure your external disk always mounted on same path. |

I was expecting real life story since the news title use term "Real Crypto Film", but actually it's a fiction. While it seems they serious about showing risk of custodial service, i'm not sure the movie itself will be that good or entertaining. Has this movie aired on other movie platforms such as Netflix and others? If there is I will watch it even though it has to be paid.
The production official page ( https://vanishingangle.com/dev-sales) show legal ways to watch their films, but currently it doesn't show any for this film. So i guess you should wait for some time before it airs on Netflix or other similar website. |

While the Bitcoin network has introduced a revolutionary platform for data storage, the information currently stored on the blockchain often doesn't fully exploit this advantage.
--snip--
Aside from OP_RETURN, Bitcoin developer never create feature designed for adding arbitrary data. Data storage on the Bitcoin block chain is expensive and inefficient. The cost is not just the value of the ordinal. It must also include the transaction fee.
1 MB of witness data at 10 sats/vb currently costs $1575 (1MB / 4 * 10 s/vB / 100000000 * $63000). Check my math.
Your math is right. Although as reminder, the actual cost would be a bit higher due to other overhead (1st TX and non-witness data in 2nd TX). And IIRC it's categorized as non-standard TX since the TX size is higher than 100vKB, which means you need to either split it into multiple TX or ask pool to include it manually. |

I need to find a good wallet without ordering anything to my house. I was thinking of Trezor/Ledger (I still need to be educated on the pros cons and differences about them), until I realized that I would have this sent to my house.
Is there any other safe alternative option that doesn't involve this?
Electrum (which already mentioned by other member) is decent option where you can find guide or help about it easily. But do you have other specific requirement (for example, must support Android)? |

If you want to avoid centralized mixers, then you can use CoinJoin protocols that is trustless
Last thing I remember, there was one wallet that uses conjoins, but then a good deal of privacy leaning members don't trust it because, there is talk of zkSNACKs its coordinator blacklisting "tainted coins" How is that decentralized and trustless? Educate me  Wasabi Wallet by default only use zkSNACKs coordinator, which isn't good example of decentralization. Here are better example, 1. New Whirlpool CoinJoin protocol have algorithm to discover and choose random coordinator, https://blog.samourai.is/decentralized-whirlpool-stage-1/. 2. On JoinMarket, you could become either maker or taker where ideally you should cooperate with different participant each time, https://github.com/JoinMarket-Org/joinmarket-clientserver. As for trustless, it depends on each CoinJoin protocol. |

I think you refer to pruned node, which download whole blockchain but only store some latest blocks and UTXO set (which necessary for verification purpose). People already can run pruned node since some years ago using Bitcoin Core software.
You know ABC, basically just think we need this brainstorming to meet more and more "Core Wallets" out there among BTC hodlers, instead of hardware and SPV wallets. [1] We don't live in ideal world though. Not everyone bother put resource or handle complexity running wallet backed by their own full node. so prune nodes are very close to the concept if they save ALL unspent transactions (non-oxidized transactions) - which amazingly this could also provide potential compatibility with GDPR principles in future [2].
Prune node actually save all UTXO[1], not all TX. Otherwise, size of chainstate folder (created by Bitcoin Core) would be much bigger. I also do follow ideas like assumeUTXO which shows us there are still some sort of improvements needed to get considered[3]:
"Rather than the status quo — setting a number of blocks and compressing historical blocks prior to that milestone — O’Beirne’s assumeUTXO is an experimental way for new Bitcoin full nodes to delay their need to verify historical transactions until the user receives recent transactions."
now look at this oxidation fee how forces the entire network and hodlers to achieve better performance of prune-nodes in bitcoin blockchian and facilitate ideas like assumeUTXO.
Assume UTXO also already exist on Bitcoin Core[2], but works differently than many of us expect. I also don't understand how oxidation fee improve prune node, since based on my understanding it doesn't reduce total UTXO.

Aside from all problem which already mentioned, i fail to see how it incentive people to run full node. After all, only miner get the oxidation fee. Real full node still need to download whole and verify blockchain. Compressing (i assume you're talking about lossless compression) blockchain data could be done by upgrading how each node communicate.
Hello ABC, thanks for reply. please correct me if I have misinformation, but we have full and partial nodes in btc. partial nodes only collect hash of roots so are fully depended on other full nodes to function properly. but just try to offer a new version of nodes (non-oxidized node) that download and sync like a full node, but after that begins to drop all its old blocks - sequentially from the genesis block - that contain no verifiable (unspent) transaction data. so I hope this decreases the size of storage needed for a node to run with most important blockchain data to be trust-able enough. so this is not about compression algorithms, just a compressing behavior. I think you refer to pruned node, which download whole blockchain but only store some latest blocks and UTXO set (which necessary for verification purpose). People already can run pruned node since some years ago using Bitcoin Core software. |

What is the assessment here? Are Wassabi developers comfortable continuing to operate their company and develop their projects as they currently do given the developments regarding Samurai wallet? Hopefully it through reduced to no US ties they will have no problems.
If they stop WabiSabi (name of their CoinJoin protocol) development or their mainnet WabiSabi coordinator now, people will assume the controversial blacklist[1] isn't effective to ensure survival of zkSNACKS and what they develop. So i expect they'll continue do what they currently do. [1] https://blog.wasabiwallet.io/zksnacks-blacklisting-update/ |

Based on my memory, the only up-to-date wallet which support CoinJoin are only Wasabi Wallet and Join Market. Sparrow developer also use major number change (1.8.6 to 1.9.0) even though they only remove CoinJoin feature. For average Bitcoiner, we only can see whether someone decide to fork either Sparrow or Samourai Wallet, while preserving it's CoinJoin feature. |

Are there any promising solutions in development/consideration? Or is furthering development of LN the primary approach?
There are few things that comes to mind, - PLTC as replacement of HLTC, which commonly used by LN. PLTC has less on-chain TX size/weight.
- Taproot Assets and RGB protocol, which enable token, NFT and others on LN.
- Various Bitcoin sidechain and L2.
For example, 20% of block reserved specifically for lightening transactions, 20% reserved for ordinals, 60% reserved for general use. Who's going to decide on those percentages? As much as I'd like the spam to stop, I don't think some "central authority in power" is the right way to do that. I also see no reason to reserve 20% for the spammers.but you merited OP's original posting which contained the above statement in bold. and now you're saying you don't like the idea? that seems like a contradiction.  It's probably merit for OP's effort, i also do that on few occasion. |

RISC-V support? I must say it's rather specific goal. While the technical details go over my head, it's good there's major improvement on preprocessing time and storage space. I recall simple operation using BitVM use over 20KB of data. Fantastic!
So this basically makes Bitcoin scripts Turing-complete?
As reminder, BitVM (the predecessor) already allows turing-complete script. See https://bitvm.org/bitvm.pdf. |

But why else can´t i mine then a second block.
Blockheight stands at 0
Without additional details, i only could make generic assumption such as mining software you use isn't compatible with Bitcoin Qt 0.6.2. Besides, what exactly you're trying to achieve here? I think you fell into XY problem. |

Make money private by default = Monero.
Just sayin.
You don't need shitcoins for privacy. Wasabi Wallet, BTCPay Server's coinjoin plugin, and Trezor's coinjoin account all provide privacy by default for Bitcoin. Could you explain to us why you claim Monero is shitcoin? After all, Monero is one of few altcoins which usually not associated with such term. From reading on this forum it sounds like people have a completely different idea of the services provided from what is in the fed documents. If what people here believe is true, it’s possible the devs will beat this case. I have my doubts though. This sort of seizure doesn’t typically happen unless there are mountains of evidence.
Yeah, i never hear about feature "Samourai Premium Add Ons" even though i've read Samourai Wallet documentation few times and read some discussion about Samourai Wallet. PDF (mentioned on the press release) doesn't even mention link/webpage source, so we can't verify whether it's true or not. |

Meskipun produk dari Apollo Miner cukup menarik untuk sebagian Bitcoin enthusiast, sebenarnya produk dari Apollo memiliki kelemahan yang sama dengan ASIC USB miner. Hal yang saya maksud adalah penggunaan chipset mining yang sudah terbilang outdated atau cukup lama, dimana hal ini juga terjadi pada produk Apollo sebelumnya[1].

Please be more specific. If it's something you need to do one, have you tried using one of Bitcoin wallet software instead? What kind of transaction you need to sign? What kind of address (e.g. P2PKH and P2WPKH) used as input of the TX? If you find that the documentation is a bit unclear, you can always use Chatgpt for some help.
Please stop suggesting that, without mentioning to double-check the result. It could be a way to lose access to your Bitcoin. |

It's possible, after all there are few altcoin which created using Bitcoin Core (previously called "Bitcoin-Qt" and "Bitcoin") software. You probably should start by looking at guide which shows you to create altcoin by modifying Bitcoin Core source. And genesis block on Bitcoin is hard-coded, so there's no need to mine it.

But we also have to note that they were the ones who put themselves in the sights of the authorities:  They invited Russians who were being penalized by the authorities because of the war to use their services to evade the sanctions. Without a doubt, it was a matter of time before the authorities caught up. And it's just one of some controversial things they did on social media. I remember they also picking fight with Wasabi Wallet, criticize few Bitcoin mining pool, criticize law on few country and others. --snip--
Just get a Monero wallet and start using Monero. Why do we have to care about coinjoin/mixing services?
Because Bitcoin is accepted on more places (when compared with Monero)? |

Surely the campaigns could pay out using Lightning to reduce fees. Have Lightning fees increased too much to make this a viable option?
Excluding using custodial LN wallet, who wants to pay Bitcoin on-chain TX fee to open new LN channel? IMO Bitcoin sidechain (e.g. RSK and Liquid) is more practical option here. |

Aside from it's mixer coinjoin feature, i've seen some support thread about managing Bitcoin on Samourai wallet. If Samourai wallet were to be banned, it'll make some people have harder time from either keep using or moving their Bitcoin.
