No, it's not normal behavior. Can you share command you use to run bitcoind? But seeing that you've already tweaked most of the mentioned configurations, it's only -maxmempool=<n> that you're missing.
-maxmempool=<n> default value is 300MB, which doesn't explain why OP's bitcoind RAM usage is about 4GB. |

One thing I recommend is to first sync testnet, it's about 30 gigabytes only and play with that before going mainnet.
Good thing you mentioned it, i was thinking which file should i move to external drive. Coincidentally, i also run Bitcoin Core on testnet, so i can save some time and internet bandwidth. |

Strange. if this prefix is correct, then the binary should be in $HOME/.local/bin/bs, and the config file should be in $HOME/.local/etc/libbitcoin/bs.cfg
You can run it with the full path, after you configure bs.cfg. If they're not there, then something did error (or you perhaps ran install.sh with another user's privileges so it ended up in a different $HOME, like /root/.local).
I'm sure i didn't use different user or sudo to run the script. However, i solved the problem simply by replacing $HOME/.local with absolute path (on new directory solely for libbitcoin). I can run ./bs -v without any problem. Version Information:
libbitcoin-server: 4.0.0
libbitcoin-protocol: 4.0.0
libbitcoin-node: 4.0.0
libbitcoin-blockchain: 4.0.0
libbitcoin: 4.0.0
Now i just need to configure libbitcoin-server and perform initial sync. However, i just notice i'll have 2 copy of Bitcoin blockchain with different format (owned by Bitcoin Core and libbitcoin), so i'll free my HDD for libbitcoin's blockchain. There shouldn't be any more problem and i assume libbitcoin will take few days to sync since i use HDD before i can test Obelisk. For what it's worth, the autotools is generally the tool that is ran in a standalone context. The install.sh script also downloads all other necessary dependencies, like libbitcoin-system, and libbitcoin-node and does all that for you transparently.
Yeah, i noticed that. |

- prove that they lawfully acquired the cryptocurrencies (I will not deal with criminals or shady characters)
Isn't it difficult to prove that? From what i've seen, the users sometimes can't even remember if they obtain Bitcoin from faucet, mining, friend or exchange which didn't require identity verification. |

Keep in mind that libbitcoin v4 is still not fully finished, but Eric and the community are working on it.
Yeah, the README.md isn't complete and didn't mention that libzmq is required for compiling. libzmq repository shows there's .deb file, but there are dependency problem when i attempt to install it with apt and dpkg. I would rather not risking broke my system right now. |

I was actually referring to the case where a site's database with the password hashes is stolen. Then you'd be able to run as many tries as you want.
I see, but AFAIK most website isn't that stupid. They usually would use salting, hash the password many times or just use algorithm focused on security (such as PBKDF2). Meanwhile, most brainwallet only use single SHA-256 hash. |

Yeah, 1.4 up to 1.4.2., but still a few things need to be finished which I need help with, or just more spare time.
Basically Electrum 3.3.0 and newer are supported, at least according to these https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/3.3.0/electrum/version.py#L4https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/3.2.4/electrum/version.py#L4Will do @ setup.py
I've been planning to make such a thing so Obelisk can even be installed with pip.
That's great, i'll try it if i can setup libbitcoin-server without any major problem. I'm still reading how to setup libbitcoin-server and found out how to make it connect only to my Bitcoin Core client with peer = localhost:8333 on bs.cfg. However, i can't find out how to configure RAM usage and whether HDD will cause bottleneck or not. |

If they could outhash and destroy Bitcoin any other crypto would be a walk in the park to destroy next..
Only applies to PoW-based cryptocurrency which uses SHA-256. If they plan to destroy another PoW-based cryptocurrency, they need to invest on different type of ASIC. It would also destroy the confidence in all/any other crypto..
Good point, but also leads people to work on more secure alternative. I see hardly anyone is interested in protecting Bitcoin from governments anymore, but rather keeping it in compliance with regulations..
Or currently thinking solution that actually works on reality. |

Since i never use libbitcoin, i'll just give basic feedback,
1. Have you compare the performance with ElectrumX or other Electrum server implementation?
2. AFAIK Electrum have it's own protocol and updated few times, so which Electrum (client wallet) version supported by Obelisk?
3. Is it right to assume Obelisk only support Linux?

Simply reduce your electricity bill by purchasing any SSD drive and you don't need your monitor running all the time.
You basically trade the hardware cost with electricity bill. |

Thanks for sharing. Do you mind sharing how it works? Is it similar with how RAID 5 works?

See https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq, AFAIK it's most popular open source and decentralized exchange. But if you specially ask about open source and centralized exchange, i've no idea. |

I know cloud mining has had a bad rap over the last few years but there is a new platform in the works that will be integrating with Mining Rig Rentals via API to automatically purchase the required hashpower.
Then why don't we just rent hashrate from mining rig rentals? CoinHash.io is promising to stay transparent, reliable and consistent and we are headquartered in Sydney, Australia.
People will expect you to show strong proof about existence of your company and the miners. |

Then what in your opinion is the difference
between Lightning Network and Liquid Network?
Why is the Liquid network FAQ topic not included?
No comment, i don't know much technical detail of Liquid Network. Plus if Coinbase gives access to the user's bitcoin private keys, does that not invalidate your argument about control over bitcoin,
and thusly now elevate Coinbase offchain system to a required topic in this forum.
If Coinbase gives access to the user's bitcoin private keys and open-sourcing their software or share full protocol specification, i don't mind such topic. For example, how Coinbase make batch transaction and implement queue user's outoing transaction might be interesting discussion. Will questions regarding Litecoin/LN now also be answered in these topics, since LN also supports litecoin?
Someone might answer such question. But if you actually mean "Should " (rather than "Will"), it depends whether the question also can be applied to Bitcoin on LN. Besides, there are many thread which mainly not about Bitcoin, but still on "Development & Technical Discussion" board. Some examples from current first page, LN & Liquid may use segwit / locking features of bitcoin program code, but their own code development is separate ,
therefore, I have no choice but to consider them 3rd party.
Looks like term "third party" have different meaning to us. |

Let DT1/2 members have a full signature and everyone else have restrictions.
This will make trust system abused more than ever, such as 1. Pay $XX to include you to DT2 for X months 2. Pay $XX to exclude competitor from DT2 for X months 3. etc. |

Why isn't this thread in the altcoin section?
Because this thread actually about LN for Bitcoin (although LN support many cryptocurrency) and some parts of LN directly involve Bitcoin network (such as HTLC script used to open and close channel). You have a valid point, any discussions related to 3rd party offchain systems should be in a separate topic.
Lightning Network & Liquid, and any other offchain systems should not be considered as bitcoin, IMO.
Just as any Exchange's separate offchain database is excluded from discussion here , so too should other 3rd party offchain networks.
While Lightning Network is off-chain system, IMO it can't be categorized as 3rd party since it's possible user have control over their Bitcoin. |

The wallet file is created with Electrum 4.1.0 (see https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/4.1.0/electrum/wallet_db.py) or newer, while your Electrum is version is 4.0.9. If you update your Electrum to to 4.10 or newer (currently it's 4.11), you should able to open the wallet file. P.S. make sure to download from electrum website and verify the file. |

Bonus question: Would repeat naming, using and then deleting "Wallet0" actually REMOVE that info from a hard drive?
If you want to actually remove that from the hard drive, you should use external software to do it. For Windows you want to use BleachBit. If you're linux user, tools called shred should be available by default. However, if you use SSD, deleting the file normally (not moving to recycle bin) will ensure the file deleted permanently after some time because TRIM operation. |

Interesting that the original message was that the file was corrupted but now say parameter is incorrect. No idea what that means.
On windows, usually i would use chkdsk tool. But since the hard drive contain important file, i strongly recommend you to make a raw copy of your hard drive before doing anything else. On windows, usually i use HDD Raw Copy Tool to do it. I would post screen shots but no idea how to do that on this forum
You can upload it somewhere (such as imgur) and share the link. |
