I really think this is not a good idea, this would centralize a lot the ecosistem focusing on a simple "official" application. If that wallet is committed, there won't be too many alternatives, it would be catastrophic.
We definitely have to try to make things easier for inexperienced users but we have to find a way to do it in a decentralised way with open source projects where the whole community can participate.
I ask, how could making core better centralize anything? makes 0 sense. It's not about improving the core. You talked about launching an official mobile wallet, for example. That's what centralises the system. "an official core sanctioned APK or iOS App" wouldn't centralize anything it's just a wallet. All existing wallets and exchanges are built on core. edit- figured I would inform you the only way to decentralize bitcoin would be through mining. |

If you place your trust in a particular developer, it's possible that BTC will experience an FTX moment. Imagine every bitcoiner promoting a specific wallet. The App Store and other third parties can introduce a malware/backdoor into that wallet. As a result, a lot of cryptocurrency will be lost by millions of people.
You are 100% missing the point and contradicting yourself due to misunderstanding. Therefore, solidifying my argument even further. however, you might be onto something about the app situation but it's beside the point. This is due to a variety of things Which all come down to one: responsibility. If people aren't responsible, no matter how good UI, or educational papers we give them, they'll just screw it up. On the other hand, if a person is responsible, then despite the potentially non-friendly UI, they'll just take the time and read how to acquire bitcoin privately, how to store them securely, how to move them across wallets, which fee rate is sufficient, which wallet software is the best for their use etc. 2. Mathematics. You don't need math to configure and use a bitcoin wallet. Your right, but outside looking in it sure looks like it! (Fixed it to commonsense) Admittedly even I don't fully grasp bitcoin ( I mentioned math as a personal experience with my project endeavors not thinking as I made the post) We need to figure out how to re-educate the whole responsibility aspect. Not keep allowing exchanges to accept responsibility they don't actually have. I really think this is not a good idea, this would centralize a lot the ecosistem focusing on a simple "official" application. If that wallet is committed, there won't be too many alternatives, it would be catastrophic.

It will centralize bitcoin and place a great deal of trust in the hands of a select group of central figures.
A core wallet isn't centralized. All exchanges run on core. This breaks that idea of trust-less.
No it doesn't, I propose and educational tiering here, kind of like a Russian nesting doll, a simple set of read more buttons can open the next level of education if wanted. You have to understand people just react 90% of the time before they observe and react informed. |

Nicehash is the gateway to rentals, but the deposits and fee's make renting from these guys unideal as well as a questionable history of fraud hence no one's mentioned em thus far.  maybe check this alternative out (my reference included) MiningRigRentals.com |

I'm noticing a lot of communication gaps with newcomers in the bitcoin ecosphere.
A lot of the bitcoin ecosphere commodities and opensource projects require a pretty deep understanding of a few things that majority of people don't have.
1. Computer science.
2. Commonsense.
3. Security.
(+More)
Retail investors can't be their own bank.
This is due to a variety of things, like its highly technical, needs a steep learning curve, or lacks user-friendly features or documentation.
Documentation that is available is assumptive that 1, 2 and 3 is assumed knowledge.
So how could bitcoin be remarketed for retail investors to not use exchanges?
Education helps, but the complexities drive a lot of people away and they may dip toes in the crypto water but,
not without the assistance and simplicity of an exchange or custodial service.
A Proposed Plan
Re-design Core
or have a light wallet/version of core targeted for retail investors kind of like electrum but redesigned easy enough for a child to understand and navigate.
Implementing official things like an official core sanctioned APK or iOS App would be a great start.
Re-educate on Core
Elaborate and implement documentation on how it works and allow then to go deeper as they keep reading at will,
avoid terms like elliptical curve on the surface and stop doing shit like assuming people can compile their own apps or run checksums.
As cringy as it sounds saying it out loud. It's still a barrier that points to Coinbase or other exchanges for retail investors.
Re-Market Bitcoin Core
Bitcoin is the most successful organic product I've ever seen marketed,
If re-design and re-educate are executed properly this will organically follow.
Let's discuss how we could make organic opensource products in this ecosphere better than exchange counterparts.

However it appears the whois doesn't look too good with correlation to OP's timestamp claims. hopefully pointbiz renewed and not someone else. OP's address was first funded more than a month before the domain registration update. It is of course possible to update the domain more than once, but I don't know if we can still check that. Since its outside of a 10 year window there's potential it could have slipped. I still think DaveF and I are onto something, IT guys don't get enough credit and I feel this post validates that. MSP's can flag too with very simple macros systems. If pointbiz validates the status of a good-standing bitaddress.org, OP unknowingly got ripped off from a co-worker or used a wrong URL. Maybe we can talk him into implementing segwit, its a lot of work though. A LOT! I've attempted it and failed miserably. |

This appears you are doing a bounty; this doesn't belong here. Unfortunately, I couldn't participate in this event as I don't own any LEALANA and displaying other's artworks for an art contest isn't an ideal situation for me. I can't speak for others but eliminating physical crypto requirements would ensure my participation for the 2nd annual Bitcointalk X-MAS Decoration Contest. Merry Christmas Eve Bitcointalk.org! |

@pointbiz @1NiNja1bUmhSoTXozBRBEtR8LeF9TGbZBN usually will come around when summoned, maybe they can clarify things on their end? pointbiz owns bitaddress.org It's in my best interest to know too since we use the tool for merging keys. tld compromised means more could be as well. However it appears the whois doesn't look too good with correlation to OP's timestamp claims. hopefully pointbiz renewed and not someone else.

Here's what might have happened: - bitaddress.org was compromised at the time you used it (quite unlikely, it'd have been announced later).
This is the only option from your list that can explain why different funds were sweeped at the same time with OPs funds.[/list] Or originations are possibly the same. for example, 1 co-worker tells 3? "Supposing that there's no one from inside evolved" Judging by OP's wording of actions he learned about it at work, and thinks they are smart. When he started printing wallets the powers that be educated themselves as well or led OP to a trap. I think this scenario more likely than bitaddress.org being compromised I don't rule it out though. And to be fair on a newbie's behalf, bitaddress.org doesn't really elaborate that much on security, Air gapping, or anything commonsense really, A byproduct singular person coding without UX consultation. The information's portrayed to a more advanced person that probably knows how to generate their own wallet as if they can use PGP and checksums and things of this nature. They don't tell you anything until after you've made the wallet causing you to react uninformed. Not a guy who heard about it on his smoke break at his 8-5. A Bitcoin wallet is as simple as a single pairing of a Bitcoin address with its corresponding Bitcoin private key. Such a wallet has been generated for you in your web browser and is displayed above.
To safeguard this wallet you must print or otherwise record the Bitcoin address and private key. It is important to make a backup copy of the private key and store it in a safe location. This site does not have knowledge of your private key. If you are familiar with PGP you can download this all-in-one HTML page and check that you have an authentic version from the author of this site by matching the SHA256 hash of this HTML with the SHA256 hash available in the signed version history document linked on the footer of this site. If you leave/refresh the site or press the "Generate New Address" button then a new private key will be generated and the previously displayed private key will not be retrievable. Your Bitcoin private key should be kept a secret. Whomever you share the private key with has access to spend all the bitcoins associated with that address. If you print your wallet then store it in a zip lock bag to keep it safe from water. Treat a paper wallet like cash.
Add funds to this wallet by instructing others to send bitcoins to your Bitcoin address.
Check your balance by going to blockchain.info or blockexplorer.com and entering your Bitcoin address.
Spend your bitcoins by going to blockchain.info and sweep the full balance of your private key into your account at their website. You can also spend your funds by downloading one of the popular bitcoin p2p clients and importing your private key to the p2p client wallet. Keep in mind when you import your single key to a bitcoin p2p client and spend funds your key will be bundled with other private keys in the p2p client wallet. When you perform a transaction your change will be sent to another bitcoin address within the p2p client wallet. You must then backup the p2p client wallet and keep it safe as your remaining bitcoins will be stored there. Satoshi advised that one should never delete a wallet. |

OP It's been discussed here time and time again. The final conclusion is generally it can't be done without something like the lightning network piggy backpacking it to make it more PoS, but its still PoW at the end of the day. Or something new entirely. And LegendaryK POW will be around for a while. Check out ancillary grid balancing services. Some of these ancillary grid balancers are necessary for irregular conditions. You generally have 3 options. 1. Waste (Going to happen Irregardless) 2. Mining for correction 3. Battery banking for correction Mining looks bad on the surface but compared to battery banking it's a godsend and a lot easier to manage. https://www.ercot.com/gridmktinfo/dashboards/ancillaryservicesYou've mentioned Texas as a example. Based on your post history looks like you live here since its the grid you keep referring to.. A few snowstorms we haven't seen in decades and an unprepared grid are factors in your theory, what about the new residents moving here, 750,000 new households a year couldn't possibly have anything to do with it, could it? You're simply ranting on in spite of what? You're trying to connect dots that aren't there. You've disrespected people here that have simply tried to help educate you? Seems like you may be going through some stuff, try approaching a little less bitter it's not a bad community. If bitcoin where to be banned, it would be to make way for CBDC, potentially scapegoated as an energy crisis however saner minds will prevail. but that's speculative, bitcoins been lobbied pretty hard, probably harder than anything in history. It's even on programming via NFL crypto.com “We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.”

Any of yall messed with GPT with primed constraints?
Or tried primed constraints through organic conversational flow?
I'm curious about the deductive reasoning and correlation skills this has as they are mind blowing if you can get it to speculate and ask it why on an "opinion".
On another note, they have nerfed it sooo much the last 2 weeks, without conversational manipulation its a diluted canned response feel.

Got some post fork Satori’s, dm offers , may potentially swap for something I like?? no stupid time wasting offer’s please
I don't know if you remember me, but I used to collaborate with you, Wes and bangomatic on some ark stuff back in the day in the slack channels running TA's all day, You are actually the reason I'm here on BCT. I'd like to buy, or trade, I have a ledger nano s Limited Edition #1 (the pizza day one) I'd be willing to barter with. |

Thanks all.
Looks like it is financially better option just to buy 1 Bitcoin and wait for next price increase.
This is what I've been preaching these days. Most the coins already mined up. A lot less gray hair worrying about the logistics involved. (especially on entry level) The solar idea still isn't bad if you can cut out all the financing. I don't know how that department really works though in your area of operation. |

Today I woke up and saw this post on the BitcoinTalk SuperNotifier thread: Mayday mayday mayday…. Bot is down… I repeat Telegram bot is down! Edit:Oh I see now I konw why it's down... cloudflare thank you theymos... looks like its updated to not only for login page but on every first or new request to bitcointalk.  I started debugging and it looks like every request fails due to Cloudflare. I tried bypassing it but have had no success so far. @theymos, is this here to stay?  loyce's and bpip's scraper also seems to be down? (paging @LoyceV, @suchmoon, @ibminer). Debug on should help (theymos), CF caching fully on breaks a lot of stuff as update times can be up to 20 mins. Has CF patched that WAF vulnerability yet? Seems it was enabled around the same time as this exploit was announced, I'm pretty sure it's been around a little longer though as it was attempted on 1splitkey last month. |

the AI can produce perfectly unique articles? Say what? It's more like the perfect plagiarism by word spinning tool. Try writing a research paper on Richard Ramirez. Then cite it. It's an interesting rabbit hole. You'll learn that thousands of scholarly papers have been wrote about him. And it's virtually impossible to say anything about him that hasn't been said before without a paper turning up %60+ plagiarized words. So in a way arnt we all doing the same thing? @dkbit98 I don't know if the model is being trained by input or feedback. Hopefully feedback and openai isn't dumb enough to introduce it in a training environment, crowds bias testing it an learning from constant barrage about people asking it to make racist scrips and poetry about Hitler. If it's training now. It'll only be more biased as it'll have tons and tons of data on bias. It seems to keep a conversational cache , and discards. (Thankfully- for now) I think the feedback system is to can/compartmentalize bias/race/math/whatever issues and address them before launching a model that does learn from user input. Releasing it free to all for a min was a good idea. After it's not free to use , people won't pay to make it say racist/stupid stuff. And it'll be trained to deal with those issues approiately. My 2 sats. |

The first article (semi-) written by chatGPT is here: https://notatether.com/servers/everything-you-need-to-know-about-servers/To be honest, only the paragraphs are AI-generated. The prompts I gave it were adapted to headings, and I added some disclaimers and an affiliate paragraph and the introduction, and some other sentences, by hand. I found that the AI-generated images from DALL-E were disastrously off-topic and irrelevant for the subject matter, so all images are just sourced from free sites. Writing the prompts and copying the answers took less than 10 minutes. We'll see how it does with SEO. I plan to make more articles like this to see how it affects my site in general (after all, JARVIS who runs the Iron Legion is writing them!  ) PS. Don't worry, this thread won't become an unsolicited advertisement for my site. Dalle works well if you phrase right "3D Render synthwave robot working in a cyberpunk data center" something like that , you can even use GPT to write dalle prompts. The writing style of gpt becomes apparent the more you interact with it. I've read slander articles about gpt I'm pretty sure GPT wrote. Phrases like, First Furthermore In conclusion, and a total lack of personality and generally lacks bias unless it's a forced paradigm. It writes proper but you can tell there is no heart and soul in it. We have been using it for a lot of stuff , I wrote R2/Iso compliant Nist 800-88 wiper for downstream in like an hour just debugging now. I like the workflow GPT provides. I've been working on a startup for a while (my 3rd one) this has streamlined the process , it helps being married to someone who does instructional design. I've been calling GPT NZT for nerds (from movie limitless) GPT will probably be able to make NZT if trained on chemistry/pharma industries imagine typing in symptoms and getting a full chemical calculation of a formula that can cure you. , 2023 is gonna be a crazy year |

As per CEO of OpenAI, it took just 5 days to cross 1 million users.
I don't think they're making any money off of this service, it's not like the rest of the OpenAI services where you have to pay money to get API credits. I haven't seen anything like that on the site otherwise they would have been marketing those figures by now. nope. None . 14million startup About 180k a day right now . Organized by a nonprofit . Just imagine how other industries have implicated it uses. If you don't use social media aside from Bitcointalk it's likely beyond your comprehension of the impact it's already had. Good thing these systems have been internal! Imagine if the non profit groups have accomplished this much , imagine how good the for profit groups have been doing the last 8 years or so. This linguistics model has already changed the world . You won't start seeing results untill q1/q2 and that's only because it was publicly launched . This shits already gated fyi. The little guy thinks he has a chance writiting white papers and articles, business plans code ECT .... He doesn't . ( A few beers in on a rant sorry haha) |

I have a prediction.
Chat GPT is gonna change everything.
Within the next 60 days, it's gonna be all the world's talking about.
All kinds of industries are about to change.
Chat GPT is gonna change the world.
Even if it's wrong , people won't care due to how gullible they are in the way it speaks back. They are gonna believe it.
