In the first hand i said to ''network'' i see that reading is not ur best thing ...

As I saw understanding things is not your thing,

Since you have a clear intention to insult people, saying I can't read or understand you, I am puting you in my ingore list from now on.

Note: since you are a new member here, just note that being on my ignore list means I won't be able to read your posts from now on, so don't bother answering me. You don't seem to care about my opinion anyway.

Good luck with your idea (whatever it is).
23  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Searching for programmers in the crypto ecosystem! on: May 16, 2024, 07:12:40 PM
I doubt that anyone will consider this offer. Let me tell you why...

1. You said it's not a job, but still you don't share the idea with the forum. So you obviously want to make money from it, but the dev you are seeking is going to get nothing, will they?
2. We are all tired of those "incredible idea that would revolutionize the crypto world".
3. Why don't you do it yourself since you are a dev? Just spend more time to study about networking and do it for fun. (Or is it a job and it's not for fun? - you see the confusion here)

Anyway, this forum is open to new ideas, so if you have anything in mind, feel free to share it here

Θα μπείτε στην ομάδα μόνο αν κάνετε μια βιντεοκλήση με έναν από τους διαχειριστές. Αυτό κάνει την ομάδα εξαιρετική, καθώς πολλοί ανεπιθύμητοι αποστολείς και απατεώνες αποκλείονται.

Αγχωτικό ακούγεται πάντως. Δεν θα μου άρεσε να κάνω βιντεοκλήση με κάποιον προκειμένου να πάρω πρόσβαση σε οτιδήποτε.

(Δεν έχω σκοπό να μειώσω την αξία της πρότασής σου, απλώς εκφράζω και την ανάποδη πλευρά!)

Sparrow and  Samourai have it, which ones else?

The more wallets add PayNyms the faster adoption of this payment scheme  within Bitcoin community.

According to my research, only these 2 support paynyms.
I think Sparrow has always been innovative with new features.
Craig Raw said in a podcast that they try to incorporate the features that they think are beneficial for the great majority of Bitcoiners.
But, then, it's on the user to actually use them!
I have tried paynyms and it worked smoothly, but it was more like a feature experiment to use them, rather than to actually get paid.

Notice that I only struck each letter once, and didn't apply much force, for other washers I have tested the letters and numbers are engraved at a deeper level (if you hit them harder, of course)

Very good result! Congrats!
I liked the fact that you didn't have to use an anvil.

not everybody is using linux. but alot of people use windows.

I don't consider this an argument to be honest.
Most people use a lot of things that they shouldn't.
If this was an argument, then people shouldn't use Bitcoin because most people use Visa and Mastercard.

I want to show a different path to the world and I believe we should all move to Linux!
I am paid by nobody, which means I develop tools that I like and if people want to use them, they can definitely follow the steps I provide.

1. Unix based operating systems are generally better hardened than Windows. Most linux distros support a lot of free open-source tools to help maintain privacy and security online.
2. Programming is a lot easier on Linux. I am not talking about Bash scripts only, but also about software written in C, C++, Python, Ruby, Java etc.
3. Linux kernel is much more robust than Windows'. It crashes significantly less than Windows.
4. Linux is open-source, which, I support by default!
5. Linux is free! Yeah, I know many people use Windows illegally, but don't forget that Windows is a paid Operating System.
6. Linux is much more lightweight! I think it requires half of the specs that Windows require.

can that script work in windows? it seems like everything is written for linux. Huh

But yeah!
It can run on Windows using WSL.
Imagine how much better Linux is, that Windows added a linux kernel (WSL) inside the OS.

It's like, losing a hand vs losing a life.

Well, kind of exaggeration, but I agree it would be a loss to lose Sparrow wallet  forever.

However, luckily, Bitcoin is open-source, just like most of the reputable wallets that you can use.
So, I am certain that there will be other wallets in the future that will gain significant popularity.
Don't forget that most people don't even use self-custodial wallets... So...

So, thanks again for this tool apogio Cheesy

You are welcome! Enjoy! Using the tool is fun, indeed!

Hi everyone!

Please remember that this tutorial is no longer supported, since Sparrow version 1.9.0.

[BitcoinTalk Node Tutorial #3] Sparrow terminal / infinite Whirlpool mixes

32  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: [BitcoinTalk Node Tutorial #3] Sparrow terminal / infinite Whirlpool mixes on: April 28, 2024, 09:38:43 AM
This tutorial is not longer valid.
Since Sparrow 1.9.0 the mixing feature is no longer supported.
33  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: What is the important of running a node? on: April 27, 2024, 04:04:20 PM
And what is the important of running a node?

Bitcoin is essentially a piece of software.
Nodes are computers that run this software.
Without nodes, there can be no Bitcoin.

Nodes are responsible for:
1. transmitting the blockchain to other nodes, maintaining snapshots of the blockchain.
2. validating transactions, making sure they follow the same set of rules.

Running your own node helps because:
1. you can keep a copy of the blockchain for yourself. This is brilliant, because it gives you the opportunity to "know" the truth.
2. you can validate transactions & blocks without trusting the rules that other nodes use.
3. you can be private, not asking anyone about anything.
4. you help the network. One more node is always better.
34  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Sparrow Bitcoin Wallet on: April 25, 2024, 04:00:25 PM
Following the latest development with Samourai Wallet , Sparrow team hurriedly released v.1.9.0


"Remove Whirlpool client, and other Soroban related features and dependencies".

They also  removed "mixing with whirlpool" section from the wallets docs.


I prefer to lose the whirlpool feature, rather than losing the wallet.
Do you think it was a wise choice? The question obviously goes to everyone who have been using Sparrow
35  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Samourai Wallet seized by the feds on: April 25, 2024, 06:08:34 AM
Privacy is a fight that we can never win.

I get the point, but please remember what we are here for.
We are here for Bitcoin.
What is bitcoin? A peer to peer electronic cash system.
Who invented it? Someone who won maintaining their privacy.

Privacy is extraordinarily difficult to achieve and you only achieve a percent of it.
Privacy is also extraordinarily easy to be lost and you lose 100% of it.

But we can win... I hope!
36  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Samourai Wallet seized by the feds on: April 24, 2024, 08:16:55 PM
So my question is, since the feds control the website, is there a way to control the software that has already been downloaded to users' computers? I guess not.

So, I reckon that the whirlpool servers will go down. I also believe that there will be no more support for the products (samourai & sentinel).

Is there anything else I am missing?

It is possible that Sparrow will be the next target.

Ouch! That would hurt.
37  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Best Exchanges Nowadays on: April 24, 2024, 05:10:19 PM
Used to be super active but got burned by most of the old closures (Cryptsy, btc-e, Bter, etc), so where is the best place to trade nowadays?  I have a Coinbase account already along with Kraken but not sure of other options that may be better.  Thanks!

Hi. Can you define "better" ?
For me, "better" means non-KYC, but for other people "better" may mean something else, so it would help to know what you don't like with Coinbase and Kraken since these 2 are arguably the largest exchanges, so...
38  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: I have 26 out of 24 mnemonic words. Am I able to brute force still? on: April 23, 2024, 04:54:52 PM
You have to place 20 words in the correct order (26 total - 6 in known places).

So how many combinations (the correct word is permutations because order matters) of 20 objects do you get ?

The first word can be in 20 positions.
The second word can be in 19 positions.
...
The 20th word can be in 1 position.

So it's 20x19x18x...x1 = 20! = 2,432,902,008,176,640,000

How fast does this get brute-forced? I will leave this to be answered by the rest of the forum. I have no idea! I was never good in brute-force stuff.
39  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: [Apr 2024] Fees are HIGH, wait for opportunity to Consolidate your small inputs on: April 21, 2024, 07:27:02 AM
Loll, I didn't realize there is an extra, I thought it was 3,600 not 3,600,000.

Just for fun, if anyone wants to see the "records" in fees (I don't know why, but I was curious to see it), you can run bitcoin-cli getblockstats <block_height>.

For instance, for the halving block (840,000):

Code:
>> bitcoin-cli getblockstats 840000
{
  "avgfee": 1234031,
  "avgfeerate": 3770,
  "avgtxsize": 762,
  "blockhash": "0000000000000000000320283a032748cef8227873ff4872689bf23f1cda83a5",
  "feerate_percentiles": [
    108,
    134,
    200,
    350,
    1063
  ],
  "height": 840000,
  "ins": 3764,
  "maxfee": 799987800,
  "maxfeerate": 3604819,
  "maxtxsize": 166989,
  "medianfee": 34800,
  "mediantime": 1713570208,
  "mediantxsize": 266,
  "minfee": 2060,
  "minfeerate": 15,
  "mintxsize": 150,
  "outs": 9716,
  "subsidy": 312500000,
  "swtotal_size": 2318332,
  "swtotal_weight": 3964249,
  "swtxs": 3023,
  "time": 1713571767,
  "total_out": 135995397232,
  "total_size": 2325218,
  "total_weight": 3991793,
  "totalfee": 3762561499,
  "txs": 3050,
  "utxo_increase": 5952,
  "utxo_size_inc": 450713,
  "utxo_increase_actual": 3919,
  "utxo_size_inc_actual": 308963
}

The "maxfeerate": 3604819 indicates the fee record on this block which was 3604819 just like BlackHatCoiner mentioned above in the discussion.
40  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: WTB $30 in LN sats, have BTC on: April 20, 2024, 09:25:06 AM
Hi NotATether.

My offer must be withdrawn unfortunately.

The fees for on-chain are too high to be ignored, so I need to use the LN funds to buy something that I need.
