No. He should not be advertised in any form; your approach helps him keeping himself not forgotten and heard.
And if I'd advertise him, a black hole would be more appropriate than prison. I guess it's a matter of taste though...

I'd guess that one in the list could be Orange Pi which I heard about not long ago and I don't know it it's indeed good, still, you can read some comparison here: https://versus.com/en/orange-pi-rk3399-vs-raspberry-pi-4-model-b
There may be others too, let's see what @dkbit98 meant.



Yeah, probably. I guess that I've just proven the point that old hardware is probably not worth it

Greece and Italy too are "in my book" somewhere at the "far end of the pipe", i.e. I think that logistics may be playing an important role in the price, no matter it's a real pipe or it's about transportation on the road.
For those living near the northern part - close to Macedonian border - refueling abroad is a real deal.
Many tourists also do the same - refuel in Macedonia, just before entering Greece.
All this is known and it's not new at all. Of course, in the same way the fuel prices skyrocketed everywhere, they did - most probably proportionally - also in Greece.

I'll tell about Romania. The incomes are also far from great. Romania also extracts some fuel from own soil. And still the price now is over 1.63 EUR and keeps rising (iirc it was under 1 EUR last summer)
Now the northern countries: from what I know at least one of them has huge offshore resources. This means that those countries pretty much near the "start of the pipe". It's, unfortunately, not so much related to how much do people earn, although that fuel price ends up soon in the shelf prices for everything.

And something more: it's interesting to watch how much is the fuel price taxed. In some countries (including Romania) the tax is overly high. It may be the same situation in Greece too. And then it's the government that has to do something, even if it's temporary.


LE: One chart I find pretty good is: https://www.globalpetrolprices.com/gasoline_prices/Europe/ (just make sure you set price to EUR)

I thought that this is obvious enough to not state it


Then maybe I'm wrong. The HDD I use for blockchain is more than 12 years old, it's a WD Black and it's pretty noisy.


The "painfully slow" part is indeed useful (I'd guess though that it happens in the initial sync, or when it's a couple days behind), but I was more curious if anybody had the (expectedly bad) experience with lower spec Pi (3,2,1, or even Zero).

The ATH was on Nov 10, not 12th.
The ATH was $69,000 on Bitstamp and differs from exchange to exchange. Coingecko lists $69,044.77 as ATH, but it's not stating the exchange where they've got that number from.

Also, as said, CZ is just another businessman. He's not that iconic for Bitcoin, and because of pseudoanonymous nature of Bitcoin we just cannot know certainly who is the richest person alive, hence that entry should go away.
On the other hand, Hal, as first tx recipient, would look better in your list.


You should add "roughly" or "almost" in there, since 21M won't exactly be touched.


Please double-check names when posting and avoid embarrassing errors. It's Laszlo Hanyecz.

Clearnet has a constant list of malicious clones that fight against Chipmixer. That goes from cloning the website and going good ranks in search results to reporting Chimpnixer itself (to Google) for copyright infringement and most probably also DDoS and such attacks.
That's not the government, I hope you can agree on that.

I find a proper burn address (like 1BitcoinEaterAddressDontSendf59kuE) already a better choice than Satoshi's.
But yes, that means unnecessary tx if one wants to burn and the other 2 options are much much better.

It's a very informative post, thank you very much for it. I did intend to "cut corners" and see whether it would work (and also how badly!) with the intention to just use the (few) hardware I have at hand.
Luckily I didn't have the time for the setup, so, again, this helps me a lot.

I will also vouch for the 500GB HDD "approach" problem. Right now my setup works with an external 500GB HDD for the blockchain and I already got rid of txindex in order to make sure it doesn't suddenly stop because of the lack of space (and that hurts badly my local block explorer, obviously).

Of course, one of my problems was that I've thought late to make myself a local setup and RasPi are overly expensive for now, so I'll keep the current setup (that unfortunately doesn't run 24/7), but I still have to look for a HDD soon.


That's correct. Even more, if you have another high spec computer (with SSD), you can use that one for the initial sync and just use HDD (some temporary symlinks to SSD and copying of files will be needed though).
While a normal spec is great, I think that SSD can be seen a bit "overzealous" by those very careful with the costs.
But: SSD is silent, HDD is not. SSD is probably much more energy efficient. So one has to make his choice properly for the long run.


PS: is there any info available about how much heating a RasPi do if used as a node? I fear that anything under RasPi 4 may need active cooling too (again, noise...)

I tried to help, not to preach. If I was wrong in my assumptions on your knowledge, even better for you.


If your computer is infected, that software can easily use any change it gets to "send home" everything is was programmed to, from keystrokes to files or screen captures.
So if you use a hot wallet, no matter it goes online 5 seconds or 24/7, it's a hot wallet and it brings risks. It's not only the signing itself that exposes you; usually it's already the fact you've entered the password of your wallet into a potentially infected computer that will ever get online. I've said "usually" for the password, since some use Electrum 2FA which can be a bit safer in this use case.
If you are strictly speaking about what inside you computer's memory, iirc Electrum even had in the past some vulnerability for keeping some things unnecessarily in memory and something that could allow attacker read that in a way or another, but I don't know the exact details.

What is "internet" after all? Browser runs in your computer memory, not "on the internet". Malware runs on your computer, not on the internet and once you've got online, the malware can start "talking" with its "master" and before you know it, all the private data is gone. Sorry if I tell you things you already know.

Of course, if you are indeed capable of keeping your computer clean, then all this doesn't matter. But most people tend to overestimate their capabilities on the matter.

I think so. I don't know if they had the same problem with LL, but, as I said, some have given up LL exactly because LL has bugs too.
Also, this kind of problems have happened in the past, I don't know if it's still the case, but I would still be cautious, especially as imho adding more (Bitcoin!) accounts doesn't seem to bring real benefits (at least not to me).


I don't know. I don't think that restoring on another HW is something that happens often.


The vast majority doesn't. Also I think that most software hides that, since it can be seen as advanced info.


Nope.


Other account can also mean another Bitcoin account. I didn't talk at all about other coins. And no, afaik derivation paths are not shown, nor asked in LL.


Since LL is the software to install apps on the HW, how could one install unsupported apps (i.e. unsupported coins)?!

Thank you!

Da, corect, intelesesem; ce incercasem sa explic era ca pe langa acel Doge mare imi scapase micul si interesantul BTC rosu.


Daaa, neasteptat de multe concursuri. Mi-am dat seama ca am cam neglijat sa le pun pe prima pagina, dar acum o sa astept pana se linistesc...

Pacat ca l-ai ratat pe al lui Mopar, ca acolo au fost 4 castigatori din 16 participanti (adica braconaj!).
Pana si eu am castigat!


Multumesc, ma inscriu acum! La ambele!

Table 9, spot 6

Thank you!

Most probably he did have a good thought on it, but it may have been some luck involved too. For example I think that he didn't foresee what ASICs will do to Bitcoin (and its price).
After all, he was sincere:

Oh my God !! !! !! ..

It's been sooo long since last time I've won anything... I've almost forgot the feeling
Thank you so much, Mopar!

Happy Pizza Day everybody!

Bitcoin is money. The money has to flow. Without people using Bitcoin to pay for goods and services we would not be here.
So you're wrong. Badly and maybe selfishly too, in a twisted way.
My opinion is that one should always spend some and keep some. Like with every kind of money. Make use of your money in any form, don't exaggerate, but also don't look back on what would that worth now.
If you don't do this you may end up dying with the regret of being maybe even rich for no use, since you lived your life as poor man.

I don't know where you get your "topics" from, but something looks very wrong in that "world" of yours.
Monkeypox is nowhere near the first waves of COVID; monkeypox doesn't have the potential for lock downs and more drama.

Even more, one has to have very badly broken inner compass if he wants to see his money grow, no matter if people around him are dying.
Plus, you are newbie, so I will not be as harsh as you'd deserve (maybe I'm also in a good mood because of Pizza Day), so I'll just say that Bitcoin price goes up and down with or without worldwide problems. If there will be drama on monkeypox, sooner or latter it won't matter for bitcoin price.

Thank you!

Mi-au placut celelalte, nici nu observasem ca al treilea e un Cas. Mu-i dadusem asa atentie, vazand ca e Doge.


Corect!
