Tip: don't dox yourself on the Internet. You're putting yourself in danger for absolutely no reason.

The millions of attempts from governments across the world should have convinced you it's unstoppable already.

When selling it, be careful and use a peer-to-peer exchange. Centralized exchanges like Binance have gone full anti-bitcoin in the last years. Don't ever submit KYC in those places, and sell in small portions.

Use links. Use quotes. Use something. I won't attempt to search for anything above, as I consider it trash talk. Your posts lack coherence in paragraphs and barely meet the definition of text. If you want to have an adult conversation, you'll have to minimize your girly crying, and provide substantial context.

It is pretty exciting, although we haven't seen it in practice yet and it sounds. There's also Ark which was proposed more recently, and it's even more exciting.

E-mail registration and country limitation, super private and borderless, exactly as envisioned!  

So basically, it's a lightning custodian. But there's something stinking as they don't make it sound as custodial. From FAQ:

Something definitely don't go well here. Users have full control over their credit? What does that mean? You're in custody of your IOU? Lol.

The diagram might be correct, and as the NYC and the miners activating segwit are concerned, they can be verified, indeed. The UASF, though, cannot be confirmed, as that votes weren't timestamped anywhere. I'm still unable to see where the blackmailing is.

For your info, I'm running Bitcoin Core v24, and I've been running a full node (or full archived node as your little head comprehends) about two years now. You, on the other hand, are questionably even running some Bitcoin client.

Aren't you bored already with that line? You've been spitting that every time you're losing an argument. "Do YoUR owN ResEArCH!". Research what. Give us to understand. Talk to us, not at us. Use links, quotes, whatever.

Tell us what he said. Where he said. Why he said. Give us some context.

Give us the fucking block data that is gatekeeping the truth. Please. Something more than utter girly whining.

The way I imagine it, is as following:

User visits site with two pages; deposit and withdraw. When depositing, the user receives a lightning invoice. To accomplish that, the site will give you an onion link, which will be my home's Raspberry hosting a mini-payment-processor page, with just the lightning invoice. Once paid, the Raspberry must query the site's database. Similarly, you can withdraw money.

I understand, but it's quite different hosting that kind of stuff on an Azure, as they've made publicly clear that they don't like cryptocurrency supporting software in their servers, and with hosting it in some developing country in Africa, where even copyright enforcement is barely applicable.

Lol, what kind of movies are you watching? 30 GB+ each is craze, even for 4k.

What to do about that. This is the cost nevertheless. If you can't give $2 for a couple of transactions, then bitcoin isn't in your favor. These $2 can't just go disappeared, unless we raise the block size to an extent that it'll stop being decentralized sooner or later.

Do we have any data from what Nigerian banks charge for transactions?

Azure is a Microsoft product. I'm pretty sure they will give the users' data to governments, given they're selling out every last piece of personal data already from all their products, Windows 10/11 first and foremost.

No, I don't trust it, not for money confiscation; rather, for denial of their service. Not sure if I'm a money transmitting service according to the country Azure will run, and I definitely don't want Microsoft to stick in their nose and make it any easier to turn down.

Hmm. I don't think I need that much. As far as I know, AWS comes quite expensive, but besides that it also falls into my "denial of service" category. If I'm not mistaken, Amazon had announced last year that they'll be shutting down servers that are caught to using cryptocurrencies. Yeah, no thanks.

I'm thinking of implementing a little project of mine, which involves depositing and withdrawing coins to / from my lightning node. I don't have the resources to run this from my home (and I neither want to), so I'll have to trust some intermediary (i.e., VPS or simple web hosting) for not messing up with my money. The intermediary will not hold access to my lightning funds, but they will have access to the mysql database, which will list every user's balance.

I'd like to read some recommendations on which service I should use. I need the server to run php and mysql.

Don't you think it's hypocritical to call your product decentralized respecting, and requiring your presence at the same time? Neither does Coinbase has incentive of going offline, but shit happens. Shouldn't the average user be able to do this alone, with their family member, when your service shuts down?

Also, I'm sharing the same thoughts with dkbit98 and examplens. What's the phone number for? In your website, it says "Social recovery with phone number and PIN". Is it compulsory? I don't want to give my real phone number, and I neither want to give a temporary that isn't mine, because then the third party can recover the wallet.

I'm preparing the review, so I'm trying to figure out what's wrong.

Can't even answer a question. Idiot.

As was discussed in PM.

Don't use a mobile OS that isn't linux based. Rule of thumb. As already explained, nothing is nearly as stable as Android, let alone as maintained.

The real question is which mobile, Android based OS you should use. That's a never ending topic for discussion, but I have come to this conclusion: de-googled or open-sourced google-based OSes (which are what portrait themselves as safer alternatives) are quite frustrating to use. Depending on your preferences, it's most likely that in such OSes you will face a lot of trouble (especially de-googled). But the main problem, in my experience, is that they aren't available for the vast majority of mobile devices.

The following makes a great breakdown of these term:
- https://github.com/bitcoinbook/bitcoinbook/blob/develop/ch05.asciidoc (this one talks about deterministic wallets as well)
- https://learnmeabitcoin.com/technical/checksum (already shared above, great site for learning the technical parts)

Sounds too many. Each dice roll gives about 2.58 bits of entropy if you apply Shannon's equation. Throwing it 50 times will generate ~129 bits, which are enough.

Fun fact: Throwing it a hundred times would suffice, even if the dice is very biased. Proof:

Suppose the probability of resulting 6 is 1/2, instead of 1/6. This means that on average, in every two rolls, you get a 6. We know that:

Equation becomes: H(X) = - (p(1)*log₂(p(1)) + p(2)*log₂(p(2)) + ... + p(6)*log₂(p(6))). For i=5, p(i) = 0.1  (for i < 6), that's equal with: -Σip(i)log₂(p(i)) - p(6)log₂(p(6)) = 1.660964 + 0.5 = 2.160964.

Rolling it a hundred times would give you about 216 bits of entropy. Please correct me if I'm wrong somewhere.

Went a little bit off-topic, but it does good to refresh your math knowledge once in a while. 

Yeah, that's like top tier franky shitpost. So, throughout the years of non-stop whining about what the developers should do, he writes up one morning "I have written my own client". Lol. Nope, I'm not buying that.

I'm feeling deja vu. I do had asked him to give me the code of his client before, because I wanted to read it. Apparently, I can't read it, because it doesn't exist.

I get the annoyance, but that sounds extreme. Dumb people are nonthreatening. Wright and the other pedophile have actually attacked Bitcoin. Astronomical amounts of shitposting don't reach that, because effecting change requires taking action. Merely complaining without purpose won't take you anywhere beyond your couch.

You know you have to stop calling someone "trained" and lacking critical thinking, simply because they don't agree with you. Just point out where he's wrong.

Have you ever attempted to actually answer us the ideal way of running Bitcoin? Without rising the block size limit every once in a while obviously, that isn't reasonable. The only thing I've been reading from you since my registration is "devs don't look that", "devs don't fix that", "devs shouldn't write that" etc.

Telling us what the fuck version of Bitcoin you've been running would be a nice start. We know it isn't Bitcoin Core as the Core developers are like, the Darth Vader of Bitcoin in your little head, and it isn't Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin SV either. So what the fuck are you running, kindly asking.

Telling us who they are, would be the next step. Who are they? Don't just tell us they exist. Point them out.

Good. So that means we'll have an abrupt rise in peer-to-peer exchanges like Bisq. Again, there is no way to stop me from buying bitcoin, unless you enforce me to justify every transaction I make, and even that way, you can't know I'm lying.

That's very roundabout. Just sell it peer-to-peer, and you can even select a premium price. In fact, I have never sold bitcoin without a premium price once. I'm regularly charging an extra 5% whenever I'm not in hurry, and a 2% when I'm in hurry. People buy those.

Depends on how you define success. If you think global adoption will mean success, then it probably has a long way to succeed. If you need it to transact online, privately, permissionessly, etc., then it has already succeeded.

I'm getting the impression most of us in here would prefer the former, than merely staying an irrelevant, Internet currency, because we're financially invested. But please take a moment and appreciate what it has already offered to us.

Actually, I think the fact that a minority uses it to buy stuff, proves itself as superior money.

Correct, but if you're connecting it to your full node, then I'm supposing you won't have any reliability issues.

Yeah, you can't do much in lightning with just $50. I mean, if you open a $50 worth channel with someone, chances are, they aren't big in liquidity. So you're probably going to have lots of failures. So questionable convenience. 
(also, $50 are easily spendable, you'll quickly need another channel)

You can't detect AI produced text, but newbies who just want to make a few bucks are easily detectable, because they don't utilize it properly. For instance, they don't request to use some different dialect.

Usually, I notice AI posts when they respond with much more content than required. A newbie making four paragraph long posts, is quite suspicious.
