To install and run an LN node, you would also need to install bitcoind, unless you're using something like Neutrino. But if you are already maintaining a 24/7 full node, then you can install and run a Lightning node with it and charge for routing fees.
I get the point, but IMO it sounds like incentive to keep existing node running rather than incentive to run full nodes. Additionally, unless your LN node have routing path/directly connected to lots of other LN nodes, i doubt you'd get sufficient income/reward. |

there is still debate if this is still 3rd blockchain generation or already fourth there is no such (credible) debate Additionally, there's no clear indicator/feature to classify blockchain generation which proves "blockchain generation" only a buzzword. From what i've seen, most generation discussion only focus fancy features or output/throughput (such as high TX/s), not efficiency, decentralization, security or immutability. |

There are problems with your proposal :
1. Each node's mempool isn't exactly same, so few transaction still could "pass"
2. All users who use wallet which have bad fee estimation or couldn't get mempool (assuming user use SPV wallet) could get their transaction rejected
3. This could be seen as censorship attempt
4. If bitcoin network is attacked by spamming transaction, user can't find way to get their transaction confirmed quickly

Kabar baik, Luke Dashjr (Bitcoin Core developer) mengeluarkan proposal softfork yang mengatur harga minimal Bitcoin menjadi $50.000/BTC (Rp. 7.120.20.000/BTC). Ucapkan selamat tinggal kepada proposal Bitcoin ETF dan ingatlah kita tidak perlu persetujuan pemerintah supaya harga Bitcoin bisa naik

There are some promising candidate for quantum resistant cryptography signature (CMIIW), such as : 1. Lamport Signature 2. Lattice-based Cryptography 3. Multivariate-based cryptography But AFAIK there's no serious discussion/plan of choosing/implementation of quantum resistant cryptography signature for Bitcoin. There's no need for that right now in my opinion, most of security systems are based in the same Cryptography system as bitcoin, if there was any risky for the general cryptography system then we would have much more solutions for that.
The risks of quantum computing is already known, so it'd be dumb if people don't do anything just because it's secure for now. |

BTW Teknologi Mixing Sekarang Mulai Ditemukan Loophole-nya (Bisa Dilacak)
http://[b
Mungkin agan mau memberikan link ini : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5117328.0Pertanyaan saya, apakah bitcoin mixing ini hanya digunakan untuk transaksi gelap? seperti halnya dark web.
Tidak, semua orang bisa menggunakan bitcoin mixer/mixing service. Menggunakan bitcoin mixer/mixing service bukan berarti seseorang melakukan transaksi gelap/ilegal. |

I indeed read that OP_AND and OP_OR have been disabled.
And that mean script size for multi-sig for you is big. You'd need 12 OP_CHECKMULTISIGVERIFY, unless you could think ways with shorter logic. Roughly it should look like this. OP_IF
0 <Sig. 1> <Sig. 4> <Sig. 6> 3 <Pub. Key 1> <Pub. Key 4> <Pub. Key 6> 3 OP_CHECKMULTISIGVERIFY
OP_IF
0 <Sig. 1> <Sig. 4> <Sig. 7> 3 <Pub. Key 1> <Pub. Key 4> <Pub. Key 7> 3 OP_CHECKMULTISIGVERIFY
OP_IF
0 <Sig. 1> <Sig. 5> <Sig. 6> 3 <Pub. Key 1> <Pub. Key 5> <Pub. Key 6> 3 OP_CHECKMULTISIGVERIFY
OP_IF
0 <Sig. 1> <Sig. 5> <Sig. 7> 3 <Pub. Key 1> <Pub. Key 5> <Pub. Key 7> 3 OP_CHECKMULTISIGVERIFY
OP_IF
0 <Sig. 2> <Sig. 4> <Sig. 6> 3 <Pub. Key 2> <Pub. Key 4> <Pub. Key 6> 3 OP_CHECKMULTISIGVERIFY
OP_IF
0 <Sig. 2> <Sig. 4> <Sig. 7> 3 <Pub. Key 2> <Pub. Key 4> <Pub. Key 7> 3 OP_CHECKMULTISIGVERIFY
OP_IF
0 <Sig. 2> <Sig. 5> <Sig. 6> 3 <Pub. Key 2> <Pub. Key 5> <Pub. Key 6> 3 OP_CHECKMULTISIGVERIFY

Why would people even send coins to a burn address?
Some people simply just want to watch the world born Either because they're no longer sane or last resort if one can't protect his bitcoin.
there's even a website which let you make burn address, in case you want to try to make your own burn address : https://gobittest.appspot.com/ProofOfBurnIf you got error message like "Invalid character in input", don't forget bitcoin address uses Base58 (123456789ABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyz), so you can't use 0 (zero), O, I (big i), & l (small L) |

Looks like you're confused with some terms/terminology. But if you meant whether your IP could be used to track your Bitcoin activity usage, then :
Short answer : Yes, it can
Long answer :
1. Your ISP know you use Bitcoin because you connect to Electrum server without VPM/Tor
2. Electrum server could log all information of anyone who connect to itself
3. If owner of Electrum server and ISP working together, they would know all your Bitcoin wallet information (balance, address list, received/sent transaction, etc.)

It's true, however there are some trade-off by increase TX/s solely by increase max. block size limit which are :
1. Higher cost to run full nodes (faster internet, faster CPU, bigger RAM, bigger storage, etc. needed)
2. Sacrifice decentralization/security due to higher cost to run full nodes. Few people think it's controversial opinion/argument.
But other cryptocurrency promote/offer higher TPS, some even claim 750K TPS

After working hard on LN for many years despite lots of FUDs and attempt to fix LN's flaw by design, it's doesn't make sense Lightning Labs would do this, especially when LN isn't "stable" enough if daily usage.
If they release Lightning Loop after LN is deemed "stable" enough, i'm sure they could earn more money that way.
Let's see which one will happen first :
1. Lightning Labs decide to make Loop open source and allow competition
2. Bitcoin and LN community decide to fork Lightning Labs works (just like MySQL community fork MySQL after oracle bought MySQL)
3. Bitcoin community move on/focus to another scaling solution (whether it's on-chain or off-chain)

While i don't like deflation (especially on long run) and big inflation, few things such as 21 million coin supply is one of Principles of Bitcoin that shouldn't be changed and will be disagreed by majority of Bitcoin community. --snip--
although if it becomes unprofitable to mine it'll be the node owners doing the mining which wouldn't be a bad thing (each node miner with a few chips to mine with like the gekkos side hack makes - id be into that).
It won't happen as bitcoin mining difficulty simply decreased and miners with most efficient ASIC and low operational cost still can mining with profit. |

As for enter data into transaction (which will be included on block of BTC's blockchain), you can use wallet such as Bitcoin Core using createrawtransaction command by adding data column. As for obtain information/data from BTC's blockchain, you can check these article/website : 1. http://www.righto.com/2014/02/ascii-bernanke-wikileaks-photographs.html2. http://coinsecrets.org/But, please take note that : 1. Script which used on righto article is outdated and might not detect all non-transaction information on BTC's blockchain 2. coinsecrets.org detect all non-transaction information which uses OP_RETURN, but you still need to know format/numeral system used to get actual information. |

However, there are several ongoing changes to bitcoin which are intended to address this problem.
--snip--
Don't forget there are 2 more changes : Schnorr MuSig which reduce transaction size by aggregate multiple signature into one signature. It also improves user privacy since people can't see who are and how many the signer. MAST (Merklized Abstract Syntax Tree). Basically it's improvement where you only submit part of script which is needed when you want to spend your coins. It also improve user privacy since not all condition to spend the coins is revealed. Lightning Network has the potential to completely solve this issue.
I disagree, LN isn't suitable for big transaction since it's less secure than on-chain transaction and most LN nodes/channel don't store big amount of Bitcoin. |

There are 2 serious problem with VPN :
1. There's no way to verify if VPN honor your privacy (never store log, never share user's information, etc.)
2. Few crap VPN have bad security such as DNS request leak or using outdated/week encryption
Frankly i'd recommend another option such as Tor. But if it's not an option for you, then i'd recommend ProtonVPN, TorGuard or NordVPN which popular among people who're looking for privacy

While i agree with your opinion, it's tall-order because : 1. Maintain open-source software is expensive and difficult, many companies don't bother do it especially because they obtain security through obscurity 2. Open-source isn't guarantee there's no spy or backdoor. For example, firmware on one of Bitmain's ASIC (i think it's Antminer S9) had a backdoor for remote shutdown. 3. One people simply can't verify all source-code of software/hardware he uses, he must trust others at some point. While it's a bit off-topic, have you tried using computer for everyday usage only with open-source software/driver? I tried it for a bit, but it's extremely difficult. There weren't any free/open-source driver for my wi-fi card and it's GPU driver isn't good enough is crap for 3D gaming. I'm not overly familiar with this subject, but I think there are independent hardware manufacturer you can switch to, like Raspberry pi.
Unfortunately, not all parts of Raspberry Pi is open source. Some hardware parts, especially it's SoC (System-on-a-chip) is closed source and it's open source GPU driver isn't as good as Proprietary GPU driver. |
