Been having Bitcoin pump dreams while sleeping last few hours. Wake up, Checks price, Whoop Whoop!! $7,600 Almost don't need to confirm with the charts anymore  Love feeling that connection to Bitcoiners Hope you're all getting quality family time this Holiday, Santa's got more in his bag for us if you've been a good boy or girl and din't short the corn.  |

I wouldn't feel stitch of remorse to see CSW serve time in prison, just, not as Satoshi.
Better yet, I might rather see him bankrupt.

Watched this debate this morning from August. Well worth my 39 minutes. Giacomo Zucco's style is so sharp and he clearly comes out as the smartest of the panel, big respect for this guy. Saifedean is part of the audience and adds great argument. What I found so intriguing is that the two men representing traditional finance look tired, grey, repetitive, old, worn out, and inflexible while those supporting bitcoin look lively, cheerful, smart, eager, hopeful, colorful, inspired, young, etc. With that I realized all we need to do is outlive these old farts for the inevitable win.

Just realized there was a haiku voting poll already in place. You were way ahead of my suggestion mic. I guess what they say about brilliant minds could be true |

Damn, I like learning but this is indeed becoming an exercise in futility as judypug1956 put it  (e.g. if you know the root password now, you can get back in to your Pi without starting again) I've never set or changed the root password, if there is a default one then perhaps I'm in luck? Not sure if this will be useful but On the boot load screen just before I press enter it says "cannot open access to console, the root account is locked. See sulogin ( 8 ) man page for more details." |

Now I'm stuck at sudo systemctl enable bitcoind First try returned with bitcoind.service does not exist. Subsequent tries shows a login for pi and root with a password field. It does not show my login 'Icygreen' nor does the default password "raspberry" or my personal password work for pi or root. I get the same result with sudo systemctl start bitcoind hmmm, you need that root password. It sounds like the user Icygreen is not sudo capable, which means the only super user is the root user (sudo means super user do) have you used sudo when logged into Icygreen account before? I would assume so, if the previous steps completed ok. This may all be a red herring though. I think perhaps I told you wrong, maybe try this: mv /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/bitcoind.service /lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants then try: sudo systemctl enable bitcoind Be sure to do the mv command and not cp this time. negative, no such file exists. Tried to reboot and try again but now all accounts are locked out with a red bar under login saying failed to authenticate. Typing in my correct password fails to log me in. I have sudo (or I did before this happened) Just before this happened I unlocked pi's password with sudo passwd -u hoping to give the login screen another try that popped up earlier. Looks like I'll have to start over with a fresh copy of raspbian or perhaps raspblitz like mindrust suggests? Damn, I like learning but this is indeed becoming an exercise in futility as judypug1956 put it |

LN is next but probably best to focus on core install first. Thanks for the link. Is raspiblitz different from raspbian or related somehow ? I'll eventually get a laptop specifically for nodes but for now committed to the Rpi4. |

Is there a firewall that's breaking your connection of your pi with the device you are trying to connect?
None that I'm aware of although I don't t know how to check for this. Are you suggesting to check for a firewall between my hard drive and the pi? Please post instructions on how to check if you think it's relevant. |

Sorry to need hand holding all the way through this. That was largely unexpected and perhaps an oversight on my part but if good guidance and patience is available, I'm eager to learn/follow directions and proceed. I'd prefer to help out and have a few more people out there that can do this sort of stuff. you, me and everyone else helping is actually helping anyone else following along, we're all winning here I've been trying in vein to install the bitcoin-qt file. I tried
sudo install /file/path/to/bitcoin-qt
cd /file/path/to/bitcoin-qt (as mentioned a few posts above)
I assume you already did tar -xf bitcoin-core-0.19.0.1-aarch64.tar.gz? you don't have an old version installed on the RPi? If so, find it like this: find /usr -name 'bitcoin'* (so that searches the /usr directory for all files starting "bitcoin", there's 3 or 4 all called e.g. bitcoin d or bitcoin -cli) If none are previously installed, just copy the files. tar has extracted a directory called "bitcoin-core-0.19.0.1" for you, in that directory is a sub-dir called "bin" where the binaries are, that's all you want. so, somehting like sudo cp -a ./bitcoin-core-0.19.0.1/bin/bitcoin* /usr/bin" will do the job.Then, you want the service file, which you can get from https://github/bitcoin/bitcoin/contrib/init/bitcoind.service (this is the service file format for systemd, which Raspbian uses, other service managers are available...). Get that file onto your RPi, or if that's a pain in the ass, type it out real quick, it's incredibly short (use the "nano" command). Put it in the directory /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants using the "cp" command you used to copy the bitcoin executables to /usr/bin. Change the bitcoind.service file so that the line saying "-datadir=" has the path of the .bitcoin directory on your external disk in place of /var/lib/bitcoin. Then, do sudo systemctl enable bitcoind, then sudo systemctl start bitcoind, then tail -f /PathToICYgReeNsExternalDisk/.bitcoin/debug.logthat last command will just let you watch the node catch up with blocks you're probably missing by now. Quit the scrolling output with Ctrl-C. Now, if you want to add new options to Bitcoin that are part of startup (e.g. bigger dbcache would work for you with 4GB RAM), you can create the file "/etc/bitcoin/bitcoin.conf", and add any options you see from doing bitcoind --help Just remove the "-" (i.e. -dbache=1000 is correct on the cli, but wants to be dbcache=1000 if you add it to the bitcoin.conf file). put one option per line in the bitcoin.conf file. That's basically it. Ok, after a couple hours I finally learned a bit and got somewhere but still stuck. Learned how to copy/past with cp in terminal = success! I couldn't find exactly the github file you posted a link to but I think this one is correct, ya? https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/contrib/init/bitcoind.serviceI copied all 77 lines of the code exactly as it is, pasted in nano,saved it and called the file bitcoind.service Then put it in the directory /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants Had a tough time figuring out how to change permissions to write to this file outside of nano. Eventually learned how to do it with chmod -R ugo+rw Not sure if that was correct but it now allows me to change the file and I've replaced /var/lib/bitcoin with the path to the folder containing bitcoin core files on my external HD. Now I'm stuck at sudo systemctl enable bitcoind First try returned with bitcoind.service does not exist. Subsequent tries shows a login for pi and root with a password field. It does not show my login 'Icygreen' nor does the default password "raspberry" or my personal password work for pi or root. I get the same result with sudo systemctl start bitcoind I am logged in as Icygreen and pi user has been disabled with -l Not sure what the root password would be or if I'm even on the right track at this point. Thanks for your previous helpful instructions. I can feel my brain stretching |

I retract my previous comment, forgive me lord, Icy THE bottom! |

A good morning indeed. A $1000 relief rally or is the bottom in? Personally not yet convinced on a bottom, I'd expect a longer grind for conviction but whadoIknow, anywho, bought a bit on the way down as it crossed 6,600 so I can feel smart today |

What really flips me is that the growth is so unnatural and one-sided. The longs have to be closed at some point, I don't feel to well about it. Edit: So this guy just lost 24 million US dollar tether right now ? FTFY I suspect there's a difference |

trying to run a full node on a rasp pi is basically an exercise in futility.
I'm starting to see why you'd say that. I'd agree that I'm probably over my head with this but I would like to learn more. Not really, many people do it.
Heck you can even run an entire lightning node on one.
It is not plug & play / as quick and simple as double-clicking an exe and done. But, it's not impossible and a lot of people do.
It just takes a bit more time and effort. It's a good learning experience too.

Thanks for the link to the correct file @Carlton Banks! Sorry to need hand holding all the way through this. That was largely unexpected and perhaps an oversight on my part but if good guidance and patience is available, I'm eager to learn/follow directions and proceed. I've been trying in vein to install the bitcoin-qt file. I tried sudo install /file/path/to/bitcoin-qt cd /file/path/to/bitcoin-qt (as mentioned a few posts above) How do I install the binary file bitcoin-qt to get core to work? |

We cannot know who is taking this position nor their intentions. We do know that tether was born on Bitfinex and has had many questions regarding a proper audit.
Is it possible that the money creating the parabolic long on Bitfinex is illegally printed tether or some engineering? If so, the entity creating this long may have planned on its failure with little monetary consequence however the Bitcoin will already be in possession and could theoretically be ready for a fire-sale at market bottom creating further downwards pressure.
Maybe this speculation is too far out there but I don't trust Bitfinex or tether and we are not seeing any other exchanges with comparable positions.
Don't forget that this is all coming at the same time as government stable coins begin to take form and consequently will challenge tether in the coming year(s).

awesome snake story
So, totally NOT trying to one up, that was awesome, and reminds me of a little story that I think is appropriate here. ... Anyway, I shit you not, that's how he told it, I thought that fit here somehow. I feel like there is a lesson to be learned here but I can't quite put my paw on it. Don't fuck with snakes or badgers however if the two shall twine, get popcorn bitcorn? |

Am I using the correct files?
for Rpi4, you specifically want the .tar.gz file with the platform "aarch64" in the filename I could not find a file with aarch64 in the filename on https://bitcoin.org/en/downloadI have the file bitcoin-0.19.0.1-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.gz If this isn't the correct file, could I please have a link? |

For this special hour of panic on WO, a true story: Two days ago I stopped at the only stoplight along a rural beachtown drive just as the light turned red. As if it was aware of the opportunity to use a crosswalk, and with precise timing, a small snake about the size of a common garden variety slithered out onto the road before pausing half way across. Being familiar with most of the harmless local snake folk in this area I decided to usher the critter across the road to safety ahead of the next green light. I dismounted my motorbike and approached the snake in a calm manner. Just as I were to take my final pace, the snake turned on me, arched its neck in recoil strike pose and sprung open a previously invisible hood which suddenly made its head appear 3 times larger. OH SHIT, COBRA! I froze at less than a meter between us and stared down at my feet wearing the standard $2 flip flop sandles afforded by the natives. I couldn't move my feet for fear it would be the final trigger. There was 50/50 odds of a successful strike from that short distance. I could hear other motorists laughing or maybe yelling something at the scene from the stoplight which made me immediately feel like another stupid white tourist far out of his jurisdiction. After a few seconds in lock with the cobra, the light must have turned green and a vehicle slowly passed behind the snake which drew its attention and recoil towards the moving object. I jumped back with relief and GTFO. The cobra carried on calmly and safely to the other side of the road however, sadly Honey badger courage did not show up on this day.  This would be my first and only encounter with a cobra in the wild of which I clearly was unprepared for. Extrapolate what you will in regards to BTC visions and parable. Nothing has changed. HODL You need to get a pet honey badger to travel with you! Thought the Bitcoin honey badger analogy would be enough, but literally.  |
