I was reading about pruned nodes, and want to use one for a personal project, but i have some questions, from what i understand a pruned node is the same software but we add the prune factor in the config file. As a reference I'm using this guide: https://www.vpsbg.eu/docs/how-to-install-a-full-or-pruned-bitcoin-nodeFirstly, navigate to the Bitcoin website and download the latest version: wget https://bitcoin.org/bin/bitcoin-core-22.0/bitcoin-22.0-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gzAfter downloading the file, you will need to extract its content: tar xzf bitcoin-22.0-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gzNext, execute the following command in order to begin the installation process: cd bitcoin-22.0/bin && install -m 0755 -o root -g root -t /usr/local/bin *Now comes the most integral part - choosing whether you want to run a full or a pruned Bitcoin node. To run the full version you can simply type the following command, which will begin synching with the blockchain: bitcoind -daemonDepending on your connection’s speed and the size of the database at the time of you downloading it, the process might take up to a number of days, given that the blockchain is constantly expanding. If, however, you would like to run a pruned node, you will have to create a special configuration file, which you can do with this command: touch /root/.bitcoin/bitcoin.confNext, open the newly generated file in any text editor and insert the following line: prune=550Do not forget to save the file! After that you can again begin to sync with the blockchain using the same command as that for a full node: bitcoind -daemonAdditionally, you can check and monitor how the syncing process is going with this command: bitcoin-cli getblockchaininfo | grep verificationYou will be presented with something that will look like so: "verificationprogress": 0.7052169307479244Remember that the ‘verificationprogress’ parameter does not need to reach 1.0000, as a value close to 0.9999 would indicate that the node is already synced. That's it! You should now have a fully functional Bitcoin node! And my questions are: Why do we use prune=550? what does that 550 mean? Can we change that value? How much space i need in my hard disk for the pruned node? |

Como spin-off lateral a la cita anterior, no sé si el escándalo de comisiones ilegales que empieza a cernirse sobre la RFEF (Real Federación Española de Futbol) tiene alguna derivada relacionada con Huobi, a pesar de la cancelación del contrato, pero he visto varios medios que bien la citan, bien hablan sobre una empresa china dedicada a las criptomonedas como figurantes en la narrativa. Por ahora sólo hay pinceladas de menciones de las criptomonedas, sin concretar apenas nada al respecto, pero en ello están la Europol y la UCO, quienes parece han dectectado operaciones con criptomonedas ligadas a la trama. Ver: https://www.elplural.com/sociedad/estructura-mafia-rubiales-criptomonedas-irregularidades-eurocopa_326878102por lo que leo en el artículo vemos un incremento anual en los ingresos: La pista la ha puesto el propio balance de Gruconsa, que desde junio de 2018, justo cuando Rubiales aterrizó en la RFEF, ha experimentado un aumento de los ingresos reseñable. Según ha detallado el diario El Mundo, las cifras son impresionantes, con 17,4 millones de euros anuales en 2019, 20,3 millones en 2020 en plena pandemia de coronavirus y en 2021, 21,1 millones de euros. El último año declarado, en el pasado 2022, llegó a los 30,9 millones de euros. Pero lo que no me queda muy claro es si ese incremento se debe a la inversión que tenían en criptomonedas, o simplemente ganan mas año con año. Es un tema el cual no queda muy claro del todo, por lo menos no explican cual es el rol de las cryptos en todo esto. Pero por las cantidades de las que se habla al parecer alguien está haciendo movidas muy turbias. |

seoincorporation : I suspect you wanted to change the client seed during the rotation of the roulette .    www.BitRoul.comI didn't try that, but for sure if we do that the new seed goes for the next round while the current roll is using the old seed. I never get the 0.01LTC back, i get a mail with the next text: Only after they have been confirmed on the blockchain will you receive an email within 8 hours with a link to claim the refund. But never got the mail about the refund. But not a problem at all, 0.01ltc doesn't hurt, but I just want to let you know, that maybe you should make a test on your site to understand how the refund process works. |

This is obviously a small service so there is no possibility of "drop 5k on ads and see if it works" ahah
...
If I have missed any information that might be useful for you to give me your opinion, please lmk. Thanks!
You don't have to drop money on it to make marketing on social networks, if you use the right hashtags you can start making some noise about your service and that will attract new possible customers. Just use the most popular social networks and try to make daily posts about it. You will see how your total followers grow until you get to the point where new customers use your service day by day. |

My biggest nightmare in a casino is to win big and don't be able to withdraw. And I have seen a lot of people with this problem. Usually when a gambler wins a big amount the casino request a Kick process but if the user fails in the process then he will not be able to withdraw, and that is a terrible experience for the user, because he is literally doxing himself for money. And I'm not saying the KYC process is something wrong, but some times casinos make bad use of users' data, and that's a risk for everyone.

El echo de que esta cuenta caiga por el factor F2A es algo que me deja pensando ya que es la segunda vez que vemos como se explota esta vulnerabilidad, y la vulnerabilidad consiste en ataques de fuerza bruta. Creo que X/Twitter tiene una brecha para este tipo de ataques, o los ataques de este estilo se han vuelto muy sofisticados.
Y esto orillará a X a 2 cosas, o todos los usuarios tendrán que configurar el 2FA, o el captcha será obligatorio para cada inicio de sesión.

El tren del mame...
Ahora se quieren colgar de el bloque del halving para hacer de sus transacciones un artículo "collector". Al final si la gente decide que eso tiene valor entonces lo tendrá, pero como bien comenta Ddmr, para los que usamos la lógica ese bloque no tiene ningún valor agregado.
Al final este tipo de movidas se vuelven publicidad para bitcoin, así que no hay problema, que la gente se divierta con esto y que haga ruido, es algo que a todos nos conviene.

It can be 0... That's a fact.
I just gave two recent examples. How can it have zero probability? Sorry, it was a typo, I want to say "can't". I have seen both scenarios in the past, the one that shows us 1 block in 1 hour, and the one that shows us 5 blocks in 10 minutes... And the first scenario feels terrible, waiting more than 1 hour for a confirmation is a nightmare. Getting back to the main question, what's the probability? i would say 33%, because having 1 block in 10 minutes has a chance of 100%, having 2 is 50%, and 3 33%... But my logic is too basic, as i mentioned in the past post, a lot of facts are involved. |

 Using this formula I got 0 Where : Random number (K) = 3 Time interval (t)= 10 Parameter Rate(a) = 10 e = 2.71828 It can't be 0... That's a fact. It's a tricky question because there are factors involved like Mining difficulty and the total hashing power on the network... The 10 minutes is a constant written on the Bitcoin code, but the ones who find the block are the miners, so, if the difficulty is high and the hashing power is low, the probability of finding 3 blocks in 10 minutes is lower than the case where the hashing power is high. |

Adin Ross is one of the most famous streamers in the world right now, with his content having hundreds of thousands of hours in watch time. Of course much of his content is direct promotion to slots games and such gambling. Perhaps Kick should add some limits to how "controversial" a streamer can be in their platform. People like Ross were banned from twitch after maaany violations.
What do you think about this? Do such people deserve a platform even on Kick?
The problem was on Discord and not on Kick, a fan on Discord committed suicide while Adin was watching... We know how gambling can ruin lives, if someone loses his life savings for sure he will think for a time about ending his life, but is a stupid move. First of all, we know the basic rules of gambling, and you shouldn't gamble more than you can afford to lose. This will only cause some drama around Adin, but nothing will change at all. |

Latest update guys Jake Paul has officially cancelled his match with Tyson one day ago, I'm yet to investigate the reasons, just quite funny tho, I feel he might be scared to lose to a oldster or maybe doesn't want to fight tyson, what do you guys think 😀, I was really anticipating a good match from our legend but it turns out, matchs cancelled 😀.
When you said the fight was canceled, I immediately searched for information related to it both on social media and also goggle, but honestly I didn't find a single news related to the cancellation of the fight, I think when you said that it would be good for you to share the source of the information so that we don't get Confused by all the issues that are circulating right now, Honestly, I personally wouldn't believe it if the fight went canceled without a reliable and credible source of information at this time. Those are fake news, the fight is still on, Jake Paul hasn't posted anything on his social networks about canceling the fight, he even made a post 2 days ago on tiktok where he showed how he is getting the same tattoo that Mike Tyson has in his face: https://www.tiktok.com/@jakepaul/video/7347112952387980586?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7305193676279924229If he would cancel that fight that tattoo wouldn't be there. |

That's a fun video, but i don't like the part where it say "Bitcoin transactions are free", we know how crazy the transaction fees can be, and we all have paid for each transaction. Getting back into the topic, i read about Bitcoin in 2013, and i fell in love from the start, that same day i got some btc in a casino that had a nice chat lotto, you only had to be active in the chat and from time to time it used to ask for the user address to send a "rain"... the bitcoin price was lot at that moment, something like $300/btc. Those were crazy times. |

If you had a substantial amount of bitcoin in a wallet might it be a good idea to split your holdings into multiple bitcoin addresses,
so that each address in that wallet contained a small amount of bitcoin, as opposed to just one address with a large amount in it?
Never have all the apples in the same basket, that's a smart way to roll. I think having the bitcoins in different addresses is a great move, and saving the private keys in different ways is a great move to, because if you have the BTC on different addresses but the Private keys on the same safe box, then it loses sense. And if you want to spend all the BTC, you only have to import all the private keys and can send the BTC in one single transaction. So, is a good idea to do it. |

Tengo la sensación de que se acabó la fiesta, fue lindo disfrutar de el champagne y los fuegos artificiales.
Creo que estamos en un proceso de consolidación. Es que hubo subidas casi interrumpidas desde octubre, con bajadas que duraron pocos días a pocas semanas. Para mí estamos en una fase similar a la de mediados de enero, cuando se había llegado a un pico, pero después hubo algunas ventas. En enero de 2021, cuando se había pasado el ATH de 20.000, ocurrió algo similar: una "montaña rusa" de subidas y correcciones de 10-15% cada una pero siguieron los ATHs dos meses más. Me parece completamente normal eso. En el caso de ETH quizá tendrá otras razones. Hay que tener en cuenta que ETH fue arrastrado por BTC pero no tiene los ETFs como "demanda adicional", y es dudoso si serán aprobados en mayo, porque ETH puede ser visto como un activo bastante diferente al BTC, más centralizado y más parecido a una "security". Quizá alguien ya sabe algo ... (DYOR) la gente se esta dando cuenta que vender ahora es una super oportunidad, y por supuesto que muchos empezarán a hacerlo.
Para mí empezaron hace rato ya (la bajada de 69000 a 59000 después del primer ATH tímido fue el comienzo de esta fase de toma de ganancias). El tema es cuanto tiempo durará el exceso de oferta. Creo que estos últimos tres días de "pausa" pueden ser clave, si se confirma un nuevo equilibrio demanda/oferta entre 65000 y 69000/70000 algunos días más el "tren" podría arrancar en cualquier momento otra vez. Lo que sí creo que en pocas semanas se vendrá una corrección mayor. Habrá que ver dónde sería el punto de partida, si es el ATH actual nos podría llevar a los 50.000 otra vez, pero si sigue subiendo y pasa los 80-85.000 es posible que el mínimo de la corrección sea igual o aún mayor al precio actual. Tambien me percaté de dicho patrón en los ATH anteriores, es cosa de que llegue a su pico y depués empieza la bajada. Creo que $72k no fue tan alto en porsentaje si lo comparamos con los ATH anteriores, personalmente esperaba el doble del pasado, lo que sería el equivalente a $130k, pero a estas alturas es mucho pedir, para que pase los 100k se necesita un mercado de capitalización brutal, sin embargo 72k representa una ganacia de casi 400% para esos vicionarios que compraron a 15k hacer 1 año. |

I don't think the casinos are hiring external agents to test the games, is not a smart move at all for 2 reasons:
1.-The game by itself can be leaked.
2.-They already have a huge team that can test the software. So, no reason to pay more people.
I'm not 100% sure how this works, but I'm sure is a 100% inside process, but I understand your point and it would be awesome to have a job like that and be the first guy playing the bran new slots.

Tengo la sensación de que se acabó la fiesta, fue lindo disfrutar de el champagne y los fuegos artificiales.
Ver hoy a ETH a -14% y a BTC en -6.62% me hace sentir que se acabó la euforia del bump y ahora viene la corrección de mercados o normalización de estos. En búsqueda de el equilibrio, aun que el mercado de capitalización sigue bastante elevando en sus 2.54T, pero la gente se esta dando cuenta que vender ahora es una super oportunidad, y por supuesto que muchos empezarán a hacerlo.

Since the dominant pool (foundrydigital.com) only has 28.4% of the network, they can't do the 50% attack Think of it this way: Anyone can attempt to execute a 51% attack. However, if you own less than half the hashrate, then it becomes exponentially less probable the more the blocks. However, you might stand lucky with 30% of the hashrate and reorg, say, the past 2 blocks. That is quite probable to happen in fact, you have 44.6% chance. What is exponentially improbable, as time goes by, is to maintain a chain with more work than the rest of the network, therefore to continue launching the attack forever. By the time you will have started reorging the 5th to last block, the rest of the network will be way ahead of you, so you will have to work even more to keep up with the new blocks, and it goes on and on. The honest miners will build faster than the attacker, and outpace him. You are totally right BlackHatCoiner but those are 2 different things, one thing is the 51% attack, where the miners can modify confirmed blocks, and the second thing is the double spend where the user modifies the unconfirmed transaction. In the past, when games used to be on-chain, people used to abuse double spends, recovering their money if the bet lost. And for that, they weren't even miners. That was the first quiz, and you all did pretty well. Class passed! More Bitcoin questions will come in the next days. Whoever has thought of a good question can drop me a PM, and I'll take it into consideration. Have a good week. Thanks for the quiz, i really enjoy learning from the community and sharing knowledge, i will keep an open eye for the next quiz. |

I've had a few various wallets over the years, but was wondering what the consensus is currently?
There are a lot of different hardware wallets nowadays, some of them are digital and others are pure metal, personally, i don't like the digital ones because i don't feel like they can last forever, but the mechanical ones are cool. I would recommend the Billfold: This one is against fire, corrosion, water... so, for me feels like one of the most secure options nowadays. I don't like the fact that words can only use 4 characters, but is secure enough from my point of view. |

if you are looking for security, then use your own node.
Using you own node for a signing a message? Signing a message has nothing to do with nodes. Signing a message is mathematical process in which you create a digital signature for a message. When you sign a message, you don't need any connection to nodes and you don't broadcast anything. With node i mean a Bitcoin core wallet, but you are right for this process we don't need a wallet, but is important to mention how most of the wallets let us sign a message. With bitcoin core qt version users can sign messages with the next steps: →Go to the "File" menu, then select "Sign Message". →In the dialog that appears, enter the Bitcoin address you want to sign the message with. →Enter the message you want to sign in the "Message" field. →Click on "Sign Message". And if you want to do it from the command line, there is a command for this purpose. bitcoin-cli signmessage "your_address" "your_message" I will leave some sources: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Message_signinghttps://medium.com/coinmonks/bitcoin-cryptography-signing-and-verifying-messages-with-node-js-645d05013f4fhttps://coinguides.org/sign-verify-bitcoin-address/ |

To sign the message you need the address's private key, and that is where the risk comes from. If you know how to do it and use your own wallet to sign a message, then it's fine. But if the guy asks you to use his software to sign the message then you are risking your coins because they could use malware where they get a copy of the Private key while you sign the message.
Personally, i have used online wallets to sign messages and never had a risk or a problem while doing that. For it I used blockchain.com, i had to import the PK, and after that signing a message was simple. But not many people would agree about this method, if you are looking for security, then use your own node.
