Can you list the requirements that a VPS will need regarding the hosting of a node?

Thank you

Anyone here use these for solo mining other alt coins?  I searched back but didn't seem to find much regarding this.  Most posts are about pools and LTC pools.

Interested for a few smaller coin projects

Thanks!

On a side note,

I believe that Chainz has a feature where one can see all the nodes running on a global map.  A pretty fancy feature.  Does anyone know of another explorer service that will do that?

Grazie

Greetings.

Are new projects being added to Chainz?  If so, how does on go about being added?

Thank you.

I am new to Bitcoin and in the process of setting up a small farm in the basement of my business premises here in the UK. Obviously I need to open a wallet however there doesn't seem to be much discussion or advice available on wallet providers. I've read a few reviews doing a Google search but these often seem biased. I've read some glowing reviews about Blockchain, Coinbase and ZenGo on some sites, however when you read the Trustpilot reviews (a popular review website here in the UK) the ratings are very bad for these wallet suppliers with lots of horror stories.

Can anyone make some recommendations for safe and reliable wallet providers?
how about TrustWallet? I am currently using it and it is very secure. There does not seem to be a hack and theft of users' money. so you can be assured and deposit there. In addition, if you want to be more secure, use a cold wallet. Ledger Nano S is one of the best security wallets and it is completely offline when you disconnect it from your PC. Therefore, hackers cannot participate in this type of wallet.

Very happy with the Nano X and S but you are only able to work with a single address at a time.  In order to get a new address to receive, the previous one must be used first.

Apart from that, very pleased with them.

The X interfaces with an iOS/Android app via Bluetooth where the S does not.  It must be physically connected.

Again, you are your own banker when it comes to your crypto assets.  You wouldn't walk around with your life savings in the wallet in your pocket.  Think of it like that.  keep a small amount in the online wallet for day-to-day stuff but the bulk of your holdings in a secure, hardware wallet or a PC/Mac wallet that is not connected to the internet.  Set up your transfers, connect online and let the transactions proceed and then go offline when they are sent.

I pray to God that who stole this will go to hell and not live on this world
God doesn't give a flying fuck about blockchain.  The hacker is going to get hookers and coke with your money - not going to hell.  He is going to Disneyland.

That about sums it up.  Grin

Set up an Exodus wallet for any mining rewards and sweep them regularly to a hardware wallet, such as a Trezor or Ledger.

And buy the hardware wallet directly from the manufacturer.  There are scams online where you THINK you are buying a new (sealed) device but it has been tampered with or seed words are pre-loaded and recorded by the scammer.  depositing BTC into one of them is the same as sending it directly to them.

Education is the name of the game.

Good job asking the questions up front.

Sorry, but those coins are gone.

The pitfalls of being your own banker.

A BIG problem is that some people don't have a good understanding of how a wallet app (such as Exodus or Edge) work.  If a hacker gets access to one of those wallets, they can install it on THEIR device and use it as if its their own.  Even if you are to change the password on YOUR app, it will not affect their installation.  They will still have access to your crypto.  The only safe thing to do is abandon that account and start fresh.

NEVER give out access to anyone you don't trust.

Not saying that this is what happened in your case, but safe-guarding your crypto is as important as acquiring it.

If until 2016-2017 there were no laws regarding cryptocurrencies and the law could be easily interpreted so that nobody knew for sure what they should or should not do properly about owning, using and transactioning them, today we have laws that appear as if they are opposing more and more the fundamental ideas of cryptocurrencies - almost as if the intention behind these regulations was to destroy them while using this entire time the "cryptocurrencies are used in criminal activities" excuse.

I can right now do a deal with someone anywhere on the planet and pay them in Bitcoin. No one can stop me. No one can take it away from the person I sent it to. They can then turn around and do the exact same thing with anyone of their choice. The core of Bitcoin's purpose is intact.

Where is gets sticky is when the government's turf is encroached on and fiat is the the government's creation. If enough people take the leap to abandon fiat and properly close the loop most things the average person panics about will be gone. Almost every single gripe and problem that comes up is the result of having one foot in the old system.

Whether we ever get there is another matter. No one said it would be easy or quick.

Satoshi did his job. It's every subsequent arrival's job to see it through if they can be arsed.

As for the getting rich thing, if it wasn't present we wouldn't be having this conversation. No one would be mining or would have mined and no one would have played beyond 2010/11.

The day will come where Bitcoin will de-couple from the fiat currencies and stand alone.  Remember; each Bitcoin is made up of 1x10^8 Satoshis.  The day will come when people will think in terms of Satoshis.

Here's the sad part.

There are far many people who don't understand these scams and they get burned.  Good job bringing it to light
33  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Is 51% attack a double-spending threat to bitcoin? on: April 03, 2020, 03:52:34 PM
Interesting read.  I see it as a term which has become adulterated.  I can't speak of a specific double-spend, but there have been plenty of 51% attacks, especially with alt coins, having low hash rates on their networks. Bad guys were successful in controlling the network and adding a longer chain with fraudulent transactions.  Exchanges were victimized with this as BTC-alt transactions cleared, the BTC was withdrawn and when the breach was discovered, the exchanges lost BOTH coins!
