Remember it like this: e-8 = exponential -8. It's 10^-8, so 2e-8 = 2 * 10^-8.

Running a full node at the moment means you're probably already connected with someone who's running mempoolfullrbf=1, so broadcasting a replacement of a no-rbf transaction should probably pass.

Note that if you don't run your own full node, then probably blockstream's block explorer will accept Full RBF: https://blockstream.info/tx/push (connect there via Tor). That being said, I don't know if the Electrum server ignores policy rules, or if your Electrum client will allow you to do that.

No. Bitcoin is fungible. There are no dirty coins, there are only people claiming they provide a service which can de-anonymize the blockchain to an extent, and which is evidently inaccurate and based on utter guesswork.

The transparency of Bitcoin is not to make transactions identifiable, but to retain the property of open-source, free software.

Misinformation appears to be pretty effective based on your post.

- There is no evidence of Satoshi ever owning more than a couple of bitcoin, let alone 1.1 million. (there isn't even evidence of Satoshi being alive)
- I cannot find evidence of Binance being valuated at 643k BTC. I do remember their cold storage address, but that contained less than 300k BTC.

I'm struggling to imagine how these government holdings are worked out, because most of the time when they seize coins they sell them afterwards.

That's probably the safest approach. Full RBF is the standard state of the network. According to Peter, 17% of 24.x listening nodes run full rbf. Nobody should treat opting-out RBF signal as non-replaceable. It is currently trivial even for a newbie to simply broadcast the replacement transaction to nodes that support that policy.

Probably what grants them the most profit. So, I suppose, they support full rbf.

A unit that is censorship-resistant, denationalized, permissionless, always-available, private and insusceptible to any state intervention. Has value as long as people say so.

Don't bother to engage in discussion with him, he's a stubborn troll who has ignored everything told about Bitcoin's monetary value, around 5 times already. He is completely incapable of comprehending the invaluable properties of Bitcoin as money; his comprehension goes as far as fiat money.

Δε το γνωρίζω. Από ανταλλακτήρια προτείνω μόνο Bisq (δεν υπάρχει πιο αποκεντρωμένο) και Robosats (υποστηρίζει lightning).

Είναι το ακριβώς ανάποδο. Αφού είναι peer-to-peer, είναι αμεσότατο. Για την ακρίβεια, δεν πάει πιο άμεσο από αυτό. Κυριολεκτικά οι υπολογιστές σας επικοινωνούν μέσω ίντερνετ χωρίς ενδιάμεσο με end-to-end encryption και εντελώς ανώνυμα.

Μα ούτε εγώ πουλάω συχνά. Συνήθως μία φορά το μήνα, και πολύ. Κοιτάζω από μια-δυο βδομάδες πριν πόσα χρειάζομαι και βγάζω sell order με premium price. Αυτό που παρατηρώ να συμβαίνει είναι πως κάποια στιγμή έχουν πάρει τα no-premium offers και μένει το δικό μου για λίγη ώρα. Ε, κάποιος που βιάζεται και τα χρειάζεται εκείνη τη στιγμή θα το διαλέξει.

Αν πουλάς συχνά όχι, και ιδιαίτερα αν θες να πουλήσεις γρήγορα. Αυτή η μέθοδος ομολογώ πως μπορεί να διαρκέσει αρκετό καιρό... Μια βδομάδα Bisq running in the background ας πούμε!  

Αυτό εγώ το βρίσκω πιο πολύ σαν πλεονέκτημα, γιατί μπορείς να το εκμεταλλευτείς και να πουλήσεις ακριβότερα (το οποίο απ' όσο γνωρίζω δε γίνεται σε CEX). Π.χ., είμαι ο μόνος seller που ανταλλάσει BTC με revolut EUR, πάρε ένα 5% premium price. Από την πείρα μου θα το πάρει κάποιος εντός μιας βδομάδας.

Κατά τη γνώμη μου, εγγραφή σε CEX δεν αξίζει πλέον που έχουμε σοβαρά DEX όπως Bisq. Όπως έχω ξαναπεί, ο μόνος λόγος για να εγγραφείς σε CEX στις μέρες μας είναι αν θες να πάρεις shitcoin.

Depends on what precisely you use it for. Simply editing text which could be also done using nano might be worth it, but when writing code, you have tools such as VSCode which provide another level of comfort and efficiency. Even better if you install the vim plugin and gain the advantages of vim, including VSCode's.

To me, the answer on that matter is simple. Learn a little bit of everything when it comes to the terminal, but don't put the terminal above everything. Knowing vim has particularly only helped me when editing files via an ssh-ed terminal. I can write code much faster and more correctly on VSCode.

Disagree. Just check out the Dev & Tech board now and before signature campaigns. Currently, being paid to help there is like being a mod in stackexchange, but with less responsibilities and more flexibility.

There would be less meaningless, unoriginal posts, granted. But, I strongly disagree that there would be more helpful posts. Quite the contrary. The current ability to resolve Bitcoin-related issues within a few hours demonstrates that a predominantly paid-driven board fosters a constructive and helpful environment.

Yes, my suggestion applies for a daily basis, not for particularly one on-chain transaction. If you make on average 5-10 Bitcoin transactions a month, then it's better to open a channel and not worry about network congestion.

One big problem is that we don't all have altcoin wallets setup. I don't use any other cryptocurrencies, so asking me to opt-out there requires me to spend time searching for their software development. My choice would be either Litecoin or Bitcoin Cash due to their adoption.

Pretty much what dkbit98 said. Mobile phone is the exact opposite to an airgapped device. It is designed to connect to as many networks as possible. If you're cautious on security, then you shouldn't be using a Bitcoin wallet on a smartphone with default stock Android pre-installed.

Instead, carry a small amount there. I'm using my phone for small, lightning-only transactions. Just as when when going out, I don't take my entire wallet with all my cash, same applies for my bitcoin.

I'll have to agree with vjudeu's definition of scaling, even though I'd endorse a block size increase which is based on a studied rationale.

Sure, but why is linear growth necessarily bad? You need a linearly grown basis to base your compression model later on.

What was the reasoning of this rejection? And by whom were they rejected?

- Open a lightning channel.
- Swap your bitcoin for a widely adopted altcoin like litecoin, and once this Ordinal spam ends, return back.

That's all. You can't do anything to enjoy less fees on-chain. There's this law of demand and supply regarding the block space which pulls us all back.

Α - thanks!

Is this the third community awards? Great. 

I think the money are better of a prize. I wouldn't want to ever receive a "cold wallet" as a prize. It'd be better for such things to be done by the individual, privately.

No, I didn't. I'm just directly referring to mining pools as "miners".

Cool it. I know what the terms mean, and all those stuff you mention. I'm just citing miners as those who broadcast the blocks for the sake of simplicity. No need to turn completely technical for every single thing we say, or we derail the thread. 

Wanna tell us what's the ideal block size limit according to you?

Right. 

It really depends on what classifies as "right". Opinions fundamentally differ on block size policy.

I have explained in this post.

Not on 4 MB blocks. Maybe neither on 10 MB or 20 MB, but if you arbitrarily increase it to something like 100, then that will also be a problem at some point.

Wow. I can't imagine the boredom. Must be killing.

It is extremely small. It has been demonstrated in this post and in here, that this particular difference results in a loss of 0.05 bits of entropy when tossed 256 times; even extremely biased dice can provide more than enough entropy if you toss them enough times.
