Other good, non-image uses involve NFTs that grants their holders rights, permissions, or special access. For example, there have been bots made for ETH, BTC and even DOGE NFTs that allow token-gated access to Discord channels, meaning you must own the token in your wallet in order to join the channel. Property rights have been conveyed via NFT, rights to music & video IP, and all sorts of media. Its quite possible that NFTs will be used to convey ownership of smart property, e.g. an apartment or car door that unlocks after proof of corresponding token ownership has been established. The most promising upcoming use case for NFTs in the future are related to identity.

That sounds like privacy disaster. Analytic company could download whole blockchain (which used by the NFT) and analyze the data to find out how much asset you have or your personal taste, then sold it to government or advertising company. It's totally different case if they zero-knowledge proof cryptography, but i never see any NFT which use such cryptography.

3)if i must give the r,s,kp values besides the public key, which website gives very technical details of a bitcoin transaction? i know 2coins is now defunct. is there any similar website?

Not website, but you can use this script https://github.com/iceland2k14/rsz. I tested it for few minutes and it works without any problem.

Code:
$ git clone https://github.com/iceland2k14/rsz
$ cd rsz
$ python3 getz_input.py -txid 27d47157ee0557db28e8a28e6295cab69ee409d2eb642172e2a86091c5e173d0

Nice work OP. I don't remember there are analysis about miner pool due to to TX fee, so i find it's interesting analysis. I also appreciate you make your website open source. But aside from required parameter (txindex, zmqpubsequence, etc.), do you run Bitcoin Core with default parameter?

- Better Network connectivity among miners -> See https://www.dsn.kastel.kit.edu/bitcoin/ (Txs and Block propagation time are really small to have any impact)

Also worth to mention there are several protocol used by miner/pool for faster block propagation. IIRC there are FIBRE, Falcon and Fast Relay Network.

Start earning in your spare time with New York Express Delivery. Choose how much time you want to spend delivering packages and get paid up to 0,000054 BTC per day.

By any chance, did you write wrong amount of BTC people could earn? 0.000054BTC/5400 satoshi (about $1.12) seems very low on New York which have minimum wage $13.20/hour.

But OP, choosing one of the Linux systems might help you with speed.
Now, several systems have been created for older computers that allow users to work without loss of performance.

https://www.tecmint.com/lightweight-linux-distributions/

While there are many linux distro created/suitable for old computer, some of them probably not suitable for new user. Not all of them are actively developed, have decent amount of user base or good documentation/tutorial.

Besides, Linux OSs prevent files from being executed automatically.

That's true. But take note autostart/autorun file[1] is exist on linux, although it require user confirmation before it's started. Although IMO it shouldn't be problem as long as user doesn't click "Ok" or "Yes" without reading the message.

I probably never would've spent the ~hour figuring out how to add it because it strikes me as unnecessary, but I also don't see the harm in it. Since you wrote the code, I added it. Thanks!

Now i wonder whether we'll see more people give feature suggestion while including source code.

Typical statistics that HYIPs use to fool people by the way

I visited your website and did quick research. But i found few unsettling thing
1. There's no lower/upper limit to swap.



2. It's new service. According to whois, the domain was registered on 2022-08-28[1].
3. I checked Twitter page[2] and found out the interaction/comment doesn't look natural[3], where the reply either say "Done" or tagging other people.

Coinbase has been very much hated by the cryptospace community because of their behavior that has been considered anti-bitcoin, however, this initiative by Brian Armstrong should be supported and should also be given respect, I reckon.

I pretty much agree with @o_e_l_e_o. While they did good thing this time, it's likely their reason isn't upholding privacy/decentralization. It's more believable it's part of PR campaign or don't want to be next government target. Their blog[1] good also mention good example of why people need privacy, although there are few hypocrisy.

First CVE require user download malicious torrent file while second CVE require user to enable remote access feature. I wouldn't worry too much when linux kernel has 194 new CVE this year[1]. Additionally, Transmission only can access config and download folder[2].


I don't use those software. Last time i checked, it's closed source and show annoying ads.

The problem is that as you add more and more things there are more and more issues to keep track of and the possibility that you, the umbrel developers, the repository maintainers that umbrel uses or whoever misses something, does not add the updated packages or whatever and users are sitting there with an unpatched vulnerability.

--snip--

I get your point and actually i agree with your point. But don't forget all application is run inside Docker container[3], which reduce some security risks.

I still love you though but you confirmed my doubts. I don't see how someone like you who is generally criticizing all moves that affect user privacy, anonymity, and centralized control doesn't see anything bad in Trezor partnering up with Wasabi and their spy agencies.  
I will repeat again if you don't unedrstand english language and I can repeat that in your native language in our local forum:
Show me a single proof that wasabi coinjoin blacklisted any transaction or spied anyone, and I will join your little hate club.

Do you count statement by WasabiWallet as proof[1]? If no, i doubt anyone can provide proof unless someone who works there become whistleblower.

I still love you though but you confirmed my doubts. I don't see how someone like you who is generally criticizing all moves that affect user privacy, anonymity, and centralized control doesn't see anything bad in Trezor partnering up with Wasabi and their spy agencies. 
Maybe because we don't know how this partnership will actually work.

I agree. It could be as simple as better Trezor support on Wasabi Wallet.

I am a digital Monk, and I do have complete knowledge about everything Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency.



Remember, you are not the founder of this forum or inventor of Bitcoin and Blockchain technology. You all are working here as Robots according to my design. You think you have made billions of dollars out of Bitcoin and you have become an Elite now. So you are entile to do what ever you want to do or say what ever you want to say.  But my only request is treat others and every one with respect.

What a bold request after you claim that we're your slave robot.

Moving back to running nodes at home, through your own local ISP, isn't ideal either.
Isn't ideal, in which manner?

Depending on where you live or which ISP do you use, you could face one of these.
1. Expensive pricing due to lack of competition on your area.
2. Ridiculous FUP/Fair Usage Limit. Few years ago, my ISP imposed limit less than 200GB/month before the connection slowed down.
3. Unstable/slow connection either because your ISP still use old DSL or copper cable.

Tor is a solution, but ISPs can also censor Tor traffic in general (and there are precedents for that).
I have never witnessed a case wherein somebody was prohibited to using Tor from his ISP provider. Maybe it can happen on a place like North Korea, but not in the EU or the USA.

Also happened in Russia[1] and still happening in China. Although an NGO managed to reverse the ban on Russia[2].

1575  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Why do we have an MIT license? on: September 06, 2022, 12:07:56 PM
but why is the MIT licensed chosen, when that very license allows closed-source bitcoin-related software to be created, when this very action is against the pro-transparency philosophy?

Even if Bitcoin Core (also called Bitcoin or Bitcoin-Qt on older version) use AGPLv3 or other strict license, it won't prevent people from creating closed-source Bitcoin-related software. They can read documentation about Bitcoin protocol and networking, then create their implementation from scratch. IMHO if Satoshi choose AGPLv3 for Bitcoin Core, Bitcoin Core would have less dominance today.

even having to put in a notice with every software distribution can be overly burdensome for smaller IOT projects.

Is it really overly burdensome? At least for less restrictive license, you just need to make a list of used on About page once. For example,

Code:
Library name
Library creator

Short description (usually 1 sentence to 1 paragraph)

Library license
Link to library source code

In 2015/2016-ish a number of concerning vulnerabilities were found in OpenSSL and a lot of attention was put on the project massively reworking things, making incompatible interfaces changes, and putting out giant updates (I seem to recall one of their diffs was like 400k lines...).

I spend few minutes to find that commit. While i didn't one with 400k lines change, i found one with 292K addition and 293K deletion[1]. The commit message says it's just reformatting source code, although how many people verify it. But submitting single big commit seems to be accepted by OpenSSL. Here's my finding,
  • 420 commit with 1000-9999 line addition
  • 20 commit with 10000-99999 line addition
  • 3 commit with >=100K line addition[2], although first appearance is migration to Git or GitHub

Anyway, i'll leave command/regex i used to get and filter commit history.

Code:
git clone https://github.com/openssl/openssl
cd openssl
git config --global diff.renameLimit 1000000
git log --format=format:"%H" --shortstat > commit.log
 [0-9]{6,} ins
 [0-9]{6,} del

1577  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Use same private key for multiple bitcoin-based coins, good idea? on: September 05, 2022, 12:04:15 PM
Also, me wasn't able to find good tools for generating wallets for LTC and DOGE, so rather to make a BTC paper wallet, then use its address to generate LTC and DOGE wallets. Note that i'm (probably) not like one of the guys here who use bitcoin core and are sync with the network. so will use light tools like coinb.in which supports BTC LTC DOGE.

How about Electrum for LTC[1]? It's actively developed and can be used as offline/cold wallet.

you know that WIF isn't the same across Bitcoin, Litecoin and Dogecoin, right? A Bitcoin-based WIF doesn't have the same prefix as a Litecoin-based one.
Yes, the tools me using do support hex pvt key. so do not use WIF at all.

Be careful if you really intend to only backup HEX private key. You''ll need to remember what kind of address you use and whether it use compressed/uncompressed key. Otherwise you'll be forced to try generate all possible combination.

For example btc2fiat and preev.net are 100bit look the same and all seem to be using coingeko for their source.

That's because all of them are based on btc2fiat source code.

How many Preev.com's treads do we need?
We are slowly getting to the point where someone could request a Preev.com successor sub-board in Meta because of all the interest that's been generated recently.

Most people will settle with one of preev alternative/"successor" before that happen.

But he only had two paths, shut Wasabi down, or block tainted outputs. He chose to block tainted outputs.

More than two actually. Few member already mention other possible paths.
