No, you do this with two transactions. But they will register in the blockchain as coming from the same address so you shouldn't worry.

What you don't spend remains in there, i don't see the point of this "returning part".

Windows 10, you never know when an unscheduled (or scheduled) update will break something again. Ever thought of running Linux?

As users of that OS would likely say, check the firewall thing. Its probably blocking it.

LOL I think this one is a winner

Do you want your fans at 100% all the time no matter what? Solution is easy, take out the fourth wire from the 4 pin fan plug, could be blue. Its possible to remove it by carefully releasing its plastic lock, and it can be put back again at anytime, no damage.

Never again your fans will ever be at any other speed than 100%.

Do try the above mentioned for a "proper" solution.

You connect to the miner using its IP with the ssh client. Default user and password is root/root or root no password iirc. Once logged in its simply a matter of editing the text file. Normally this would be done with the vi editor, like this:

vi /etc/cgminer.conf


Or its possible to use a friendlier text editor, by doing:

opkg update && opkg install nano && nano /etc/cgminer.conf

Nope, the developers can't just do that because it won't reach user consensus. Sure technically they can push it, doesn't mean the node operators and miners will accept it. It will immediately cause a fork and most people would simply refuse to use it. This is too fundamental a change for it to ever pass, and the more time that passes the more it is engraved that bitcoin is deflationary. The only people still proposing this are those who don't know or care about the Austrian school of economy, they are yet to understand the beauty of deflationary economies.

OP literately needs to read Mises and the problem solves itself, nobody should propose this. If you still want it, go to one of the inflationary altcoins.

Bitcoin is deflationary and the world will learn and move into Austrian economics, putting an end to the endless bubble/crashes cycles once and for all.

There are various raspi like devices without wifi, even x86. I like those from PC-Engines, where you get to pick and choose wifi radio if you want it (or none). Put linux, openbsd, whatever you trust in them and manage your wallets, offline or online, with absolute control.

Of course you could do that with any old fashioned PC without connectivity of any kind as well.

Well done, i hope the people there keep the pressure, they have to do whatever it takes, educate, ridicule, convince those politicians what they are doing is wrong, and if they maintain their positions they are betraying their people. As i have said many times, banning bitcoin is akin to telling the world India doesn't want that wealth. Is India in the position to say that? I don't think so...

Besides the politicians have a lot to account for the misguided monetary policy they have had so far, making everyone poorer every year due to economic dogma (fear of deflation) because they are too busy to bother learning an economic system where deflation can bring wealth and progress in a steady way, rather than the roller coaster bubble/crash cycles of the world's dominant economic school.

Truth be told corrupt politicians don't like the transparency Bitcoin brings. What?? you tell them they cannot make money from manipulating the nation's currency anymore? Whats next, actually earning their salaries?...

Backed by the bank huh? So he is trusting a promise a third party pledged to do on his behalf. He seems to forget the part where, in between the moment he writes his check and the time you take to go cash it, that very bank could go bankrupt. Because, hello? fractional reserve banking. Mr Warret doesn't know 90%+ of the world's fiat currency doesn't exist anywhere? He probably does and made some good money of that system...

Sorry, but a promise is not tangible. In fact if anything Bitcoin does, is that you don't have to trust anyone, unlike cheques, the Bitcoin network ensures this without any third parties: No financial institutions, no governments, it works by code and secured by math, something his old fashioned words won't ever achieve.

Funny who is the one talking about tangibles. Hey, write your seed words in a piece of paper, there is your tangible. Its even better than a check...

They probably are old tor exit nodes, but we are talking 10 years ago, IPs do change...

I doubt satoshi would let pass any browser fingerprinting. Even i as a mere user knew back then that could fool that by making your browser look like one of the top popular browser/os combination while actually using something quite unique. Back then something windows 7 internet explorer or such you could send to the http server, its not rocket science you know, there are even add-ons to do that, and at some point it was needed for some idiot (bank) sites that would reject decent os/browser combinations because the webmaster couldn't imagine people not using windows and internet explorer...

And this is assuming those 10 year old logs are still kept.

And if i was satoshi, i would have probably used a live distro (from read only optical media) anyway, connected via tor, not unlike what Tails does by default. That way, at the end of the session turn off the pc and all traces are gone.

Many countries in this list are in the same (neutral) position. technically not illegal, but still not embraced, or adopted. I can tell you the people from the central bank of one of the countries mentioned in the "legal" list don't like Bitcoin. That country is actually neutral, but they have an exchange "control" that you could technically violate using bitcoin (and several people do that). Unattended, this could lead to illegalization due to politicians being ignorant and fearful that their pretty "controls" are getting ruined (people out there that condemn the free market) by evil Bitcoin.

And my country isn't even listed which is even more hilarious, but lets ignore mine, satoshis are now worth more than our fiat anyway.

Yes, we have been saying that here for ages, and the trophy would go to the likes of Japan which was one of the first countries to welcome Bitcoin, even thought its regulated its also a place of Bitcoin history. Since they started first they learned (the hard way) first i guess? Well not Bitcoin related but these things called exchanges (Mt.Gox) which people use to move from fiat into bitcoin and vice versa...

You could also look at regions. In your region who embraced Bitcoin first? Those get the advantage. And on the opposite side the few 15 or so fools that ban it, telling wealth to go away because they are scared of it...

For this transition period parallel coexistence of fiat and Bitcoin is to be expected. Next step would be, the first country that officially abandons fiat for Bitcoin.

Something like Zimbabwe, but rather than going USD, going BTC. Well the next Zimbabwe is definitely my country, would be nice to see the crisis lead that way but so far it seems to be going the same way as Zimbabwe, ie. the USD. Albeit technically illegal, people have started to set prices in USD here.

There is some people trying to promote crypto, usually from altcoins with marketing funds, but its honestly rare to see a shop to directly accept it, tho we have to do the localbitcoins routine before going out to buy anything. Good news is that these few days prices of things are in Satoshis, since you need about 100+ million of our fiat to buy a bitcoin, same as satoshis... So the people here without knowing knows how it is to express things in satoshis. AND, we are used for prices to change everyday, unfortunately as with any other fiats, our prices only go one direction, UP. If we had adopted Bitcoin, they would go down from time to time (deflation vs inflation).

Previous wall of text is too complicated to understand these two simple things:

Hot (wallet): Anything that is powered up. This includes computers and yes, hardware wallets.

Cold (wallet): Anything that is NOT powered up. MAY be computers and hardware wallets that are disconnected and put to storage. Or can be a piece of paper.

Keep your "spare change" in hot wallets, the absolute minimum for your daily needs.

Use the cold wallet as your "own bank" to keep your savings in a long term basis.


For the most part the seed words are the most important thing, you have to treat those with the utmost care, write them with your own hands, away from cameras, scanners, printers etc. Backing up digital files (ie. wallet.dat and friends) is redundant and even riskier than keeping the seed words. The seed words are the most important thing, let the rest disappear, with the seeds you can recreate the wallet again.

Oh yes, i live in one. Something about Lenin saying that destroying the currency and the economy also destroys the capitalists. The only result of this dogma is the masses impoverished even worse than before, since those with the means could flee or remain in positions of power after the "revolution"...

Ask yourself this question: What country in this world has its coin valued less than 1 satoshi? And incidentally, which coin has the highest inflation right now?

Yup, "government" wanting to destroy its economy exists, its right here come and see for yourself... (or better don't, you could get in serious trouble).

Well, obviously that particular private key isn't private anymore, so its useless. Lets hope he just wanted to bring an example to complement his question and plans to discard it right away...

There is no "hacking" involved, once you share a private key anyone could use it, so its pointless.

Those are the games where you see what the eyes of the character sees, but you never get to see the character you are playing yourself.

Of course those arcade fighting games are in third person, as you do see the characters you control.

Indeed, great job with adoption you have made over there, hope you all reap the benefits, and set an example for other countries to follow.

To me setting up a full node is super simple. It involves finding the package that brings bitcoind and install that. Depending on distro there are some subtle details in having the service start on its own, and you might need to change some config options. For something like a raspi i'd plug an external hard drive to store the blockchain, and this needs to go into /etc/fstab. Then a little symlink or config change (for the blockchain to be written to the actual hd).

And then wait for the thing to sync. Too bad my internet has become garbage (like the rest of the services in this country) otherwise i would keep running mine out of fun.

You don't strictly need a raspi, any old pc with 500g HD or so works the same. Any minimal cli only linux distro is enough.

BTCpay is an excellent solution if you manage to run that, but i think you should keep a full node running somewhere anyway.

Hmm i think i would call it cryptocoin, or coinbit. But Bitcoin is rather good so its nice satoshi though of that.

I would just hold the most part as savings, and spent a little for daily things, such as coffee. So the answer was both, the top and bottom.

Actually lightning is only needed for minute things, any other item that could be bought online and confirmed in an hour or later, regular onchain bitcoin works.
