probably a trade-off of a different security-model that's good enough to be accepted for small amounts of Bitcoin/cryptocurrencies. In that case, I prefer a hot wallet on my phone.

To be clear, the PIN is not intended to be the main authentication option for unlocking something protected by a passkey, but it is usually only used after you already log in with a username or password, mainly for inactivity purposes.
It's like, imagine your phone has a password (not PIN) you had to type to "log in" to the phone. Now imagine a logout button, and a PIN, but you only type it when you are logged in, and only after the phone becomes inactive and locks. The big difference is of course physical access: my phone is right beside me, nobody can access it. Online wallets need a lot more security than physical devices.

Isn't a web wallet the opposite of what you'd want for Silent Payments? It's convenient, because you don't have to process all blocks, but your privacy depends on a third party. Is there a discussion about Silent Payments going around on the Forum? I just found out about it, am very curious to learn more but I do not think I understand how it works yet. See witcher_sense's topic: Silent payments.

This was at the upper end of my hardware search Why not just add some RAM? I am a bit annoyed I can't really find anything without windows on it, but so be it. The "Microsoft tax", I know your pain ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif)

- You basically can create or restore your wallet using your PIN ~ - Passkeys are stored in your iCloud or Google drive This sounds like a great way for attackers to gain access to your wallets, including inside jobs at the cloud provider.

I've ran into not being able to quote so many times, I'd love to see this implemented!

3.) Once it starts slowing down I am stopping the bitcoind.service for 12 hours, giving it a rest. This is just in case there is some kind of weird throttling going on. This step doesn't help. 5.) If slow, then I am going to order this -> Beelink SER5 MAX RYZEN 7 5800H Mini pc office + Ram32GB + Storage 1TB That's more than sufficient to do a quick download. This is one of those particular things that becomes more and more resource consuming as it goes along, still working but going slower and slower. Correct.

Is there anyway to get a list of all active users for three months See active_last_90_days.txt. I didn't include users who haven't posted in the past 90 days. with the date of their registration, the number of messages and merits? It's probably fastest to scrape those 11711 profiles for this data. It should only take 3 hours. I need this list to launch an unofficial fan token bitcointalk.org There's one already, it's called Bitcoin.

With a 2x chance and a bet of 266.72 BTC, you will lose the entire balance, and if you win, you will receive a maximum win of 13.34 BTC, which is not 2x, but only a fixed win. ~ Share your opinion, maybe I'm misunderstanding something Usually, this means you can't bet more than 13.34 BTC on 2x. So if you try, you should get a popup telling you it's not allowed.

Wow! Today @LoyceV awarded merit prizes to the participants in the pizza contest. He distributed 678 merits among the contestants in just three minutes and 30 seconds. Many have merited multiple times here by luck. I only Merited one post twice (accidentally). Scrolling, opening tabs and dealing with expired links that required me to reload the page probably caused this. Selecting this many posts to Merit took me a while. have all been judged in such a short period of time or just continuous merit giving where many are left out! I made my own selection. Some users are on my ignore list already, some deserved a bit more than 8 Merits, some pizzas I ignored on purpose. And some users I couldn't Merit, because I already sent them 50 in the past 30 days. Why the interest in Merit in your first week here, instead of commenting on, say, the pizzas?By the way, I edited the Op You should update this part: Voting for the Best Pizza [Soon]

It is in a ThinkCentre M92P. Need an upgrade, thanks ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Google says it can handle 32 GB RAM. If that's correct, Bitcoin Core will even work fine with an HDD (I did it on a server recently). For this I am going to use JoinMarket once I get this stable. I have it installed but haven't started using it yet. I haver no experience with JoinMarket. Progress running after 13 hours this time around is 53.13%. The thing is.... The first part isn't that hard on your hardware: your chainstate directory is probably still smaller than your available RAM. At the end of the IBD, it'll be 12 GB.

am I a statiscially qualified Criminal for using Monero too? It depends on who you ask ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) But if you have a few banknotes in your wallet, nobody is going to call you a criminal for the fact that they contain traces of cocaine, even though that's illegal and proves the banknotes have been used by criminals.

500GB TOSHIBA MQ01ABF0 That's not an SSD, it's a HDD. That explains everything! It needs to write several TB of data, read a lot of data, and have random access all the time. My SSD was already the limiting factor, it makes total sense your HDD is a factor 10 slower. I might get a 1000 mbps fiber dedicated separate line to troubleshoot further. Your internet connection isn't the bottleneck. There are only 2 things that can improve performance: 1. Get a SSD, preferrably a good brand (Samsung Evo for instance), not a budget disk. Check some reviews on Tom's Hardware to make sure you get a good one. But even a budget SSD will be much faster than your current HDD. 2. Add more RAM. If you do both, you're entire computing experience will get much smoother. Without those upgrades, you should probably just use Electrum instead of Bitcoin Core.
