The support for his “argument” is the picture of a “genius” (Elon Musk)! Yes, the “genius” that bought BTC throughout his company, Tesla Motors, in 2021 to sell it one year later with a 45 % loss. Yes, what a genius! It is really funny to hear and read there won’t be electricity to mine BTC but, yes, it will be there to run a Tesla prototype (is not yet a car and with that technology, it will never be).

So BTC, no, it won’t be affected by a made up “energy” crisis that’s only in the imagination of people whose brains have been shucked by mainstream media and TV. Please, get rid of your TV set and your perspective about the world will immediately change.

This link will help many to understand why this is not an energy crisis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrMiSQAGOS4&t=2s. This is US American professor John Mearsheimer. Of course, he is a Russian propagandist and spook, as much as Ron Paul, Tulsi Gabbard and many other authentic US Americans patriots, and everyone who does not bent down to the US warmongers are.

With this I do not say that everything Russia does is correct, or I agree with it. No, that’s not what I’m saying. But that’s also quite different from blaming Russia for anything and everything.

Russia could have a more friendly approach to BTC. Once they have already been isolated, sanctioned and blocked from the corrupt international financial fiat system, they could have gone full into declaring BTC legal tender. They haven’t done it.

Yes, I’m pretty sure, although they are denying it, they are accepting BTC as a means of exchange for their “dirty oil and gas” (when the oil and gas was coming from anywhere else, it was not “dirty” for the EU commissioners… now, it helps them to spread hate against their new “Jews” scapegoats).

And yes, for those Russian haters, ETH creator, Vitálik Buterin, is Russian! Oh yes, if you look in Wikipedia in English, he is Canadian…  Cheesy … this ally of global elitists and BTC haters cannot be Russian! They hate Russians even more than BTC! But if you change that Wikipedia link to Spanish says he’s Russian. In French, Canadian-Russian (how typical of the French that in WWII had a Nazi government who helped Hitler to exterminate Jews, and convinently finished between the winners of the war, and the "savers of the Jews").

So, yes, anyone owning a BTC node is helping Russia to evade sanctions. But that was precisely the goal of the cypher punks who created BTC: to have an uncensored, free, decentralized monetary base that absolute nobody could temper with for their dirt political and warmongering purposes. And if you watch John Mearsheimer’s conference link above, you will understand why Russia is not the aggressor in this war. They are just the mean to make believe highly misinformed people we have “an energy crisis”. So, you can breathe with piece of mind if you are a Russian hater while you own a BTC node. The contradiction is not in your BTC node. It is in your hate towards Russians (or anybody else). Stop hating others!

ETH does not fulfill this purpose. Once it completely moves to POS, it’s a duplicate of the USD or the EUR. In terms of monetary theory and practice, where is the innovation? Nowhere.

Unfortunately, I have sent you a Merit because I expected a good debunk of BSV's topic but you topic is full of lies, where you support RuZZian war crimes and you downplayed Holocaust.
It's sad, I have not read your bullshit Kremlin propaganda before giving out a Merit.

I’m the one exposing arguments. You’re the one insulting and disqualifying with the typical derogatory adjectives. It is evident who cannot keep his manners and discuss as a normal, educated person. Nothing new.

Anyway, thanks for “not reading and giving me that Merit”. It seems to me you hold many of your opinions without reading. If my post is going to help you to resolve your issues with reading, I have already done my good deed.

And my original post is perfectly centered in the issue. There is no energy problem that will affect BTC mining.

My position on the “energy crisis” and all my arguments support my thesis that this is not an energy crisis, but a moral one. The same moral crisis that already affected Europe, Russia, and many other countries when Jews where to blame for anything that went wrong anywhere.

Then it was Russia, France, Germany, and many others falsely accusing Jews. Now it is the US, UK, and many others accusing Russia for anything that goes wrong with them: all the corruption in the US, all the money squander, the Pentagon missing spending invoices, the infrastructure crumbling down, the rampant inflation, the voting machines obvious flaws, crazy people shooting others everywhere (nothing to do with guns but more likely with the absolute lack of mental health in the US), and even because US Americans call “football” a sport that is played with the hands… that too is Russia’s fault. It is exactly the same phenomenon that happened with the Jews from the late XIX to the mid XX century. This time, US craziness won’t go as far as exterminating Russians, thank goodness.

Here is one interesting link on how antisemitism started: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreyfus_affair. Soon will have links on how “anti-Russian-ism” replaced antisemitism in the Western world as the perfect excuse to send people to the meat mincer.  

This new anti-whatever-ism is going to destroy Europe, but if they don’t care, why should we? BTC won’t be affected by anything of this. On the contrary, many Europeans should start thinking about getting out of the EUR and stocking BTC.

Thanks everyone. Quantum computing sounds to me more like science fiction than anything else. I just wanted to know other people's opinions.
I do not take anything for granted. I like to survey what others have to say.
25  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BITCOIN IS DEAD! on: September 05, 2022, 08:58:52 AM
Bitcoin will also find better options. Becoming POS is not as bad idea as people assume.

The USD, the EUR and all the rest of fiat money are already since long ago digital currencies and POS. Where is the innovation? POW is the innovation. This is like inventing the print in the Middle Ages and having people saying we should go back to scribe monks. There is no innovation in POS.
26  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BITCOIN IS DEAD! on: September 04, 2022, 07:07:08 PM
If there’s no energy for BTC, there won’t be energy for anything, in which case you won’t need to worry about BTC or ETH.

But there is no lack of energy. There is lack of intelligence and abundance of malice: the one the US is using to strangle the EU, governed by servants of the US empire of injustice, who are playing the same cards of the French Bourbons (they lost the head in the game) against UK during the independence of the US. US promoted, first, a coup the tat in 2014 in Ukraine to incite this Russian invasion, plus US never respected the deal not to increase NATO with former Warsaw Pact countries, right after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Second, US is promoting the most insidious campaign against Russians, only comparable to the campaign against Jews started in the Czarist Russia that, later, moved on to Central Europe to finish in the Holocaust. In this case, Russia has the means to defend themselves (it was not the case of the Jews), and the US, which could not win a war against a country of plain sheep herders (Afghanistan), will not win this war either.

Once this is clear and massive protests erupt in Europe, their governments will tumble down or Europe will finish in a total war. I really think this is the real purpose of the US, which went from total bankruptcy in the late XIX century to accumulate 75 % of world total capital (it was gold then) at the end of WWII. I don’t think it was done on purpose back then, but I think it is now. US want to repeat this massive theft. In any case and for the rest of the world (“F the EU” as Victoria Nuland said, and more if they are a bunch of idiots), energy trade will resume to normal. So there will be planty of electricity for BTC mining. 

Respecting to BTC, its value resides precisely in the fact that it is a POW technology, and that it has a limit of emission, which ETH lacks (another fiat currency as any other one based in the multiplication of units). It is a proven mathematical and economic theorem that any money based on the unlimited multiplication of its units, its value tends to cero over the time (the pathetic case of ETH). On the contrary, any money based on the subdivision of units which total amount cannot be multiplied (the case of BTC), its value tends to increase with only one limit: wealth over the crust of the Earth.

It does not matter any other ETH utility might have. Many things have crucial utility (water, oxygen, etc.), and its abundance invalidates those material substances to be used as money. The ETH defenders lack the understanding of what money is, which is something you do not learn programming computers. They need to study economics profoundly. This is the main difference between BTC and ETH creators. Whoever Satoshi Nakamoto were, they knew about cryptography, programming, computing, and economics. These ETH guys do not understand economics. Even Isaac Newton, in the 1700 knew then more than these guys know now.

Maybe they should start with this interview to economist Saifedean Ammous to understand the real value of BTC as money: https://podverse.fm/es/episode/m3jJcVzOl.

We’ll see sometime in the future who is right and who is wrong.

Good luck, everyone.
27  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BITCOIN IS NOT DEAD! on: September 04, 2022, 04:17:43 PM
Or is he a government spy?

It could be.

Everything Saifedean Ammous exposes in his interview is related to how governments need fiat currencies to survive to keep on going with their criminal never ending wars. As a fact, as you can hear in this interview, BTC will help us to finish WWI. Yes, it never ended. Global fiat money system was created to start WWI and it kept on going to never end it. War in Ukraine is just another battle. ETH is just another fiat currency under the disguise of a cryptocurrency to divert people from BTC. So, yes, there are plenty of these spooks around everywhere. He just might be one of them.

The final purpose of fiat currency is the purpose of warmongering states and their abusive powers. They need to stop BTC. It is BTC or them. And they haven’t found a way to stop it. And their only tool, by now, is misinformation and pure defamation. ETH is just another part of that plan.
28  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BITCOIN IS NOT DEAD! on: September 04, 2022, 02:30:10 PM
I think the is a bit of an issue with pow in that it might incentivise large energy producers to mine themselves and thus might make the network more centralised as a result"

You might find the answer to this argument that BTC mining might be some type of centralization in the interview I posted: https://podverse.fm/es/episode/m3jJcVzOl (it is very long, but worth the time). It was already the case in the hard fork tryout in December 2017 when miners and some institutions tried to modify BTC core to increase its data capacity. That data increase would have hampered many to own a node. It would probably have required big machines, big data servers, and big energy consumption not available to most of us. This would have resulted in a real BTC centralization. Then, it was proven that power resides in the nodes and not in the miners. They, as Mr. Ammous explains, are service providers to the nodes (their owners). They invest money and make a return because there are nodes sustaining the network and deciding what BTC core is the right one. Nodes are the real owners of BTC. And anyone can setup a node to become a BTC network co-owner.
29  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / BITCOIN IS NOT DEAD! on: September 04, 2022, 02:04:07 PM
There is an ETH propaganda topic in this forum with the title “BITCOIN IS DEAD!”. The base argument is that “There is an energy and raw materials crisis all over the world” and BTC needs to move to POS to survive. This is my answer that I don’t want to be moderated by him. So here comes my BITCOIN IS NOT DEAD!

30  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Does quantum computing affects Bitcoin? on: September 04, 2022, 12:45:45 PM
Hi to eveyone,

I just wanted to ask to the experts what influence could have the so-called quantum computing on Bitcoin. I have recently read this article: https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/quantum-computing-important-atomic-bomb-expert. They do not mention BTC in this article, but I would like to know if this type of computing mentioned here could affect BTC protocol in some way. In the article you can find statements as ““It will be easy for such a device to decrypt all of the existing public encryption systems. In other words, such a device will be able to wipe out any kind of encryption that currently exists today in order to extract whatever kind of data, classified or otherwise, that it wants to get its access to.”

This article could have even been promoted to deter newcomers to BTC. The usual tactics of fiat money institutions that behave as octopuses extending their tentacles to everything and everywhere.
I have found this article talking about it: https://coincentral.com/quantum-computing-bitcoin/. The author does not think there’s a real threat in the long run as measures could be taken to modify BTC protocol (soft fork).

Still, I would like to have developers and BTC experts’ opinion on this issue.

I’m well aware that when media talks about technology, they usually miss the scalability of new inventions. So many of the so call “inventions” won’t be possible to scale to real use (they are just science fiction articles). It is happening with new battery technologies, materials, AI, and many other fields.

Any feedback on this?

Thanks

I have uninstalled GPG4WIN and installed again and now, yes, I can see Wladimir J. van der Laan key. This means that every time I run the command:
-snip-
I must uninstall GPG4WIN and install it again right after importing any signature key.
This doesn't look like an issue with Bitcoin Core nor GPG4Win at all.
I suspect that it's either a hardware issue (HDD, RAM or CPU) or your Antivirus Software deleting the files.

Usually, you just have to do the installation of required software (GPG4Win), importation of keys and certifying them if you want to, only once.
The only recurring part is the actual verification (verify the SHA256sums file and get the binary's SHA2556 hash) everytime you need to verify Bitcoin Core (e.g.: new release).

Probably not. AV is Windows Security. It is not deleting gpg.exe file. It is deleting its content. The file is there but with not content. Dir command showsd a 0 KB file. Can an AV erased the content of the file without erasing the file itself? Maybe it can... I have no idea.

Thanks.

Hi again, guys:

I have uninstalled GPG4WIN and installed again and now, yes, I can see Wladimir J. van der Laan key. This means that every time I run the command:

C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuPG\bin>gpg.exe --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 71A3B16735405025D447E8F274810B012346C9A6

I must uninstall GPG4WIN and install it again right after importing any signature key. Then I can click on the SHA256SUMS.asc imported from https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/ and yes, the installer can be verified with the imported key.

Let’s be honest. This is a pain in the heck but is the only way I’ve made it work (let’s say, partially work). It is better than nothing, but do not expect too many people to undergo the hustle of installing a bitcoin node. This is far from becoming a general adopted tech. We well get there sometime in the future, but we’re far from there.

Thanks, anyway.

Like in my instruction, setting it to Kleopatra will only change the server of its "Lookup on server..." tool (I guess it's the language barrier's fault).
For commands, you should indicate the server after "--keyserver".

So the command should be:
Code:
gpg.exe --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 71A3B16735405025D447E8F274810B012346C9A6

Thanks a lot.

I tried the command the way you have just written it. I found that right after I used this command for the last time, gpg.exe installation was corrupted. If I checked the program in its installation path it showed 0 KB in its size, instead of

25/04/2022  16:20         1.154.760 gpg.exe

So, I have uninstalled gpg4win entirely and I have installed again. I have written the command now with this output:

C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuPG\bin>gpg.exe --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 71A3B16735405025D447E8F274810B012346C9A6
gpg: key 74810B012346C9A6: 1 duplicate signature removed
gpg: clave 74810B012346C9A6: "Wladimir J. van der Laan <laanwj@protonmail.com>" 5 firmas nuevas
gpg: Cantidad total procesada: 1
gpg:         nuevas firmas: 5

Now it apparently worked but, no, as you can read below.

Then I have tried another different key and I get an error again. If I list the directory in C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuPG\bin I get this:

If I double clic on SHA256SUMS.asc that I downloaded from https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/, along with Windows installer, I get an error message that shows that KLEOPATRA and the whole GPG program installation has been corrupted right after importing that key.

So, still, not working. Thanks a lot, anyway.

"NotATether": none of the keys in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/contrib/builder-keys/keys.txt contain a verified email. So I guess I'm stuck and there is no way to verify Bitcoin Core 23.0 version.
That's not true. At least one key, mine, is. I'm pretty sure the rest do too.

Yes, now you can see that folowing nc50lc instructions, I have imported Wladimir J. van der Laan key and your’re right, it contains a valid email. But as you can see in my message bellow, I still cannot use this keys as GPG installation breaks down right after importin just one key.

As you can read in next post, still, not working. Thanks a lot, anyway.
35  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitnodes cannot find my Bitcoin node on: August 19, 2022, 06:30:44 AM
I found the reason it is not working. My ISP is using an IP sharing method that, it looks like, is very common in Spain (where I live). It is called CGNAT or Carrier Grade Network Address Translation. I found that my public ID in pages as https://canyouseeme.org/ is different from the IPv4 my router shows in my connection status information. This is because my router does not connect directly to Internet.

It connects to an ISP hub. If I open and forward ports, or enable DMZ, or UPnP, I’m doing it on my own router and not in the ISP hub, where all ports are still blocked. I checked thoroughly my ISP contract and finally found that there is one term where it says I can request to my ISP a direct connection with my own IP address instead of the hub shared connection, which is the default connection by the ISP. So, this is my next step.

This also explains why Bitnodes shows 340 nodes in Spain, but only 66 are reachable, as I said before, it is very common for ISPs in Spain to uses CGNAT connections. People who do not need port forwarding don’t even know they are sharing their public IP with other ISP clients. I have read that IPv6 is only 3 % of all Internet connections in Spain (retarded state of technology… and I’m using “retarded” consciously and on purpose). Having a node which is not reachable does not provide any service to the bitcoin network.

So, this should resolve the whole issue.

Nevertheless, this issue has helped me to find a way to create a Tor Win32 Service, that would allow my node to create inbound connections. I set up my node in January this year, and although Bitnodes could reach it, I never checked if it was getting inbound connections. Probably not. And if it was doing it, those connections where not hidden under an onion service. I’ll check again once I have my own not-shared public IP address.

Thanks, anyway.

"nc50lc": I have tried hkps://keyserver.ubuntu.com that is the default server in Kleopatra and still, it does not import keys.
You should use "hkp://" not "hkps://" like in my example, otherwise it'll not work in Kleopatra.
Also, setting it in Kleoparta isn't necessary if you'll use the command line, but go on if you're going to use Kleopatra's "Lookup on Server..." menu.

I have tried changing the server address as you mention and first I made sure the directory was the right one to write the command, and I tried with three random keys. My OS is in Spanish, but I translate: "gpg: recepción del servidor de claves fallida: Certificado caducado" mans "keys reception from server failed: certificate expired".

This is the output to the dir command to make sure I was in the right directory and then the three failed keys import:

Thanks guys.

Nothing has worked.

Yes, I have tried Map port using UPnP (it is also enabled in my router, and I have made sure that Windows service UPnP host device is running). ). I tried this and allowing connections (not other checkmarks enabled). Bitnodes does not reach my node.

I have found this link https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Setting_up_a_Tor_hidden_service#Windows and I have created a Tor Win32 Service in Windows. It says at the beginning of this article that “If you use a Bitcoin full node over Tor, then usually it will only be able to make outgoing connections. Therefore, you will only get a maximum of 10 total connections. This is fine, and is not something you usually need to worry about, but if your computer is often online and you want to be a big help to the network, you can run a Tor hidden service in order to accept incoming connections over Tor.”

I have followed the instructions in the link and I had some trouble with the Windows permissions but, finally I managed to have the service running (Windows permissions management is just a complete disaster, but… I manage with it).

I have done all and tested it following the link, and it shows ports listening.

I have even tested my port 8333 and this is the test result:
 
C:\>netstat -aon | findstr ":8333"
  TCP    0.0.0.0:8333           0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING       17076
  

It shows also IP addresses are outbound connections to my node.  

Bitnodes still cannot reach my node and my node does not show any inbound connections.

I guess I give up. I’ll try sometime in the future a Raspberry PI 4 with MyNode.

Thanks, anyway.

I've got former Windows Security Essentials that now, with Windows 10, it is just call Windows Security, and manages all together (antivirus, firewall, etc.). I can just shut it down completely and my node is not reachable on Bitnodes either.

I just listened to a video of a guy explaining how to open and forward ports in HUAWEI routers, and he says that although he did it everything ok the very first time, it did not work. He had to call his internet service provider (ISP) and he found that his public IP was shared by another user. I think he means that his IP was not static and was a dynamic IP, because I do not think an ISP can give two users same IP at the same time (but I don’t really know it).

If the IP is dynamic, I just don’t understand why port forwarding should not work either, as the router would connect using the public IP, that Bitnodes would read and show as my public IP as it does with a static one. The port forwarding inside the router only affects the local computer IP where the node is installed, it’s MAC address, etc. Port forwarding is a LAN configuration. It does not care about the WLAN public IP address which the ISP is providing. Am I right?

If I am, the only difference would be that every time my ISP changes my IP, Bitnodes would show a different public IP to check if my node is reachable. But sharing same IP with two clients? I don't know if that can be really done... anybody knows it this could be done?

In any case, I have rebooted my router many times and I always get the same public IP. If I had a dynamic IP, my IP would change every time I reboot (chances to get the same IP after rebooting are extremely low). So, I do not think this is either the case.

What it is really amazing is finding so many nodes in Spain which are not reachable on the Bitnodes test. It's just driving me nuts!

I'll check the chat for more answers. Thanks anyway!

I have disconected all options in the firewall. Still not working.

The web page https://bitnodes.io/ cannot reach my node. I have opened port 8333 and forwarded the transit to that port in my router, and I have opened the port in Windows Firewall (created an entrance permit rule). I'm running the node in a Windows 10. If I write “netstat -ab” in the command prompt, port 0.0.0.0:8333 shows as “listening”. The output in this test also shows my local LAN IP listed in local addresses with one or some random ports for the bitcoin-qt.exe file; and in remote address it shows one or some IP addresses on port 8333. These are peers connected to my node (outbound peers). I have a HUAWEI Home Gateway HG65, which is much easier to set up than other routers I had before (this one I've gotten it for one week as I have just changed ISP). I have tried to enable DMZ option instead of port forwarding, or enabling UPnP in the router and my Bitcoin Core, and does not work either.
 
So, whatever configuration I choose, when I click my public IP in Bitnodes it says node is not reachable. Also, if I test my port 8333 with https://canyouseeme.org/ it says “Error:  I could not see your service on my public IP and port 8333”. It adds “Reason: Connection timed out”. If I check in muy Bitcoin Core node window, in Information, in Network, I see 10 incoming pears connected, and cero outbound peers.

I have also tried all Network configurations in my Bitcoin Core and it does not work (Map port using UPnP, Map port using NAT-PMP, Allow incoming connections, connect through SOCKS5 PROXY (default proxy) 127.0.0.1:9150, and so on). I have disconnected Windows Firewall and still does not work.

I have checked in https://bitnodes.io/ reachable nodes in Spain, where I live, and from 340 nodes, only 66 are reachable. This is weird. Do all these 274 node owners know their node is not reachable? I guess they don’t.

Anybody knows how to resolve it?

Thanks.
