Hello.
It was definetely their node's issue. Personally I run mempool explorer on my node and it worked perfectly during that time. So it's not a problem with the app, but rather with the underlying node.
It is ok now, as far as I can see.

Yeah, I think as a user I'd like to see how much RAM & CPU, but maybe most importantly how much disk space, every additional piece of software uses. From my own experience, it should be just Bitcoin Core and Monero taking up most of the disk space.
Hey n0nce. So: Bitcoin 626G
Monero 174G
Electrs 66G

I just realized that it's a series; maybe would be a good idea to add backlinks to all or at least the first tutorial to the top.
There are. Just check on top of each post. And there is also a link to the next one on the bottom of each post. So every post is linked with the previous and the next one. |

It would be interesting to add a few details in terms of requirements (computing and storage) to the top of the guide. I remember fondly the days when people downloaded Bitcoin Core, back when it was the default wallet to run on your daily driver laptop, coming back a few days later to 'full hard drive' notifications from their operating system..  Especially, when someone is already running Bitcoin Core on the same machine and maybe even chose their SSD to fit a certain number of years worth of Bitcoin blockchain on it. Hello. If you are interested in the hardware that I use, you can head back to the 1st tutorial of the series, in which I install bitcoin core on the same machine. If you want to know how much RAM and CPU the node uses, then I will definitely make sure to update the original post. In fact it is interesting to see how much RAM all of the apps I have installed in the series use (Bitcoin Core, Electrs, Sparrow, Monero) |

Many of you mention how ETFs will drive Bitcoins price higher. Theoretically this is true, it will.
But, don't forget that their plan is to allow Bitcoin purchases only through CEXs and ETFs, which is totally unethical and against the nature of Bitcoin.
So, for me, even if Bitcoin reaches a price of 1 Million each, it won't matter a lot, if the only way to acquire it is by buying a share of an ETF, where I need to voluntarily do any KYC they require.
I am not saying it will definitely happen, but since they can't stop Bitcoin, this is a way to try to control it.

Is important to mention that you can run bitcoin and monero on the same raspberry pi because the nodes run on a different port, some altcoins uses the same port than bitcoin and that can give use some problems but we can modify those ports in the config file and that should fix the problem.
I just remembered that I forgot to write about allowing incoming connections on 18080 and 18089 on my node's firewall. I will add it at the beginning of my tutorial. Take into consideration that I have used 18089 but the default for the RPC commands is 18080. Anyway, thanks for the comment and the reminder. |

I know your a private individual but it would be a little naive of us to proceed without some explanation wouldn't it?
(In regards to your departure and return)
Sorry to intervene but does this mean that BHC should tell us why he decided to leave and then came back? I mean aren't we all allowed to take a break? Perhaps you don't like the fact that he made a "goodbye" post instead of simply disappearing for a while. I mean what is your concern? That he left for a reason we should know? Or that he is not the same person? |

My petite friendly pup, maybe you were too confused back then, as you were at start... but I actually answered  And while I congratulated you for your choice... ...I also suggested an approach softer than beating... Remember?  Oh I do. I do... I never realised how protective you were, suggesting other approaches. I am still waiting for it however. Nevermind, I will get the chance to feel the wrath of the foxes at some point. |

Which is the reason we are certain that bitcoin will get to all-time-high and also get to $100000. Bitcoin price is not like fiat that will devalue but its price will increase after a long time. Bitcoin price is not easy to predict in short term, but in long term, it is very predictable and not disappointing.
I am terrible at speculations, but in my opinion the $100k per Bitcoin is not far away. If bitcoin succeeds in becoming the largest value-storage asset, then we can expect it to be around 10 trillion dollars which will essentially mean that 1 BTC will be equal to approximately $470k. To me, this is a more realistic target for bitcoin. But of course, nothing is guarranteed. All I am saying is, the $100k point is significant, but it is not far away, in my opinion. |

Bitcoin's exchange price cannot be predicted.
However bitcoin's value can be appreciated and will never change. Bitcoin is valuable for various reasons (PoW, limited supply, max supply cap etc).
As long as people begin to familiarize themselves with Bitcoin, the price will eventually go up, but it doesn't really matter. Bitcoin will always be the same as it is today. It will just attract more attention.

Hosting a Monero node on the same machineAs I have mentioned in various places in this forum, I am a huge fun of Monero. So, without further delay, let's run a monero node on our Raspberry Pi. Configuring Firewall to allow incoming connections on ports 18080 & 18089I am using ufw for this tutorial. So the command should be: sudo ufw allow 18080
sudo ufw allow 18089
We will download the binaries in our Downloads folder and we will install them. mkdir ~/Downloads/monero
wget https://downloads.getmonero.org/cli/linuxarm8
tar -xvf linuxarm8 -C monero
cd ~/Downloads/monero/monero-aarch64-linux-gnu-v0.18.3.1
sudo install -m 0755 -o root -g root -t /usr/local/bin monero*
Now, all the binaries are install in our /usr/local/bin directory. Let's check if they work using the command It should print an output that displays the available options for monerod binary. Configuring Monero nodeWe are almost ready to roll, but we need to create the configuration file for our node. We will create it in our external SSD, in the path /media/apogio/BTC/monero. nano /media/apogio/BTC/monero/monerod.conf
Now let's paste the following data inside the file: # Data directory (blockchain db and indices)
data-dir=/media/apogio/BTC/monero
# Logs
log-file=/media/apogio/BTC/monero/monerod.log
max-log-file-size=0
# P2P configuration
p2p-bind-ip=0.0.0.0 # Bind to all interfaces (the default)
p2p-bind-port=18080 # Bind to default port
public-node=true
# RPC configuration
rpc-restricted-bind-ip=0.0.0.0 # Bind restricted RPC to all interfaces
rpc-restricted-bind-port=18089 # Bind restricted RPC on custom port to differentiate from default unrestricted RPC (18081)
# Node settings
no-igd=1 # Disable UPnP port mapping
no-zmq=1
# Block known-malicious nodes from a DNSBL
enable-dns-blocklist=1
# Peers
out-peers=64
in-peers=1024
The last 2 lines will be removed after the initial blockchain synchronization. Let's start our node by running the following: monerod --config-file=/media/apogio/BTC/monero/monerod.conf --detach
Now monero runs on the background, downloading the blockchain. We can easily check the status by running: It will return something like the following example: Height: 319704/3054494 (10.5%) on mainnet, not mining, net hash 14.05 MH/s, v1, 33(out)+0(in) connections, uptime 0d 0h 26m 3s
That's it, we are now running a monero node. Connecting Monero GUI wallet to our nodeThe final step is to connect a wallet to our node. Of course we could use the monero-wallet-cli binary, but for our tutorial we will connect the Monero GUI wallet to our node. After downloading the appropriate version for our OS, we will need to choose the "Advanced mode".  Create a new wallet:  Then head over to the node settings and simply add the IP where the node is hosted and the port.

This is only getting worse with the addition of more members, particularly ones like BHC and apogio who frequent the technical boards as I do.
I am sorry man, but there is strong evidence that in fact you want me here.  But in fact, without you, I wouldn't be able to participate on the bitcoin board a lot. You made me learn lots of things and now I wanna do the same with others. And I still have toooooo much to learn. By the way @GazetaBitcoin my lovely friend, you who intimidated me when I joined the club as an intern, you still haven't done anything about that: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5121375.msg63283702#msg63283702. And I am still waiting for my welcoming ceremony. @LoyceV I seriously wanna say sorry for constantly derailing your topic. How come haven't we started another one in the off-topic section? |

Regarding broadcasting a message does it reveal it to the public anyone can see it without providing him the details of it? If yes its a problem. It should remain private but only expose when needed.
Just sign an encrypted message. It will be broadcasted on the blockchain and nobody will read it. Once the time has come, just give us the decryption key. And we will read it then. There is no way to alter the blockchain. And this is why Bitcoin is strong and secure Edit: what vjudeu said does exactly what you want. |
|
|
|
Yes, that is exactly what i want to do. Impossible as you said.
But again, you say it should be added to the code. How? I mean it existed in the code back then, but you didn't do it. I don't blame you, I just say that I don't think it's bitcoin's malfunction. The way blockchain works, as vjdue said, you would need to re-mine all these blocks. But these blocks have thousands of validations and confirmations... So... |

I can sign a message like this right now with 2012 details. It still doesnt confirm it was signed in 2012. The point is the blockchain doesnt show when this message was signed or there was btc contract call to sign in a specific date.
Something like this must be added to the btc code.
Signing and Broadcasting are 2 completely different actions. Signing means you prove that you own a message. If you want to let people know when the message was signed you need to include it in the blockchain and broadcast it in a block. At the same time, I don't understand what you wanna do. Did you sign a message in 2012 and you want to prove now that you signed it back then? Because if so, you need to include it in a block mined in 2012. Which is impossible. |
|
|

You can sign a message today that shows it was signed years ago. This means there's no any kind of proofs to prove q date of an old signed message?
Just sign something like this: My name is X and I sign this message today on 2024-01-03 at 17:55. Last block hash is 0000000000000000000044ad2c3a48f04170cf1bdeec82b0c184bb683ec9985b.

The idea is brilliant. It is widely used with Nostr UIs. For example this is Jack Mallers' profile. You can head over to the lightning icon and it will load a screen like this:  If you click on the "Zap X sats" icon it will guide you to a QR code and a lightning invoice. Then, clicking on the "pay now" it will require you to open the wallet of your choice in order to pay. For example we could use something like alby, which requires a plugin to be installed on the browser. So, to break it down for you, in order for this to function, we need: 1. A way to post invoices as a payee. This one is tricky if you don't run your own node, but theoretically you could create an invoice and post it somewhere. Once the invoice is paid, it gets cancelled and then they need to enter a new one. This should take place automatically. I suggest reading how nostr implements it, as defined in NIP-57. 2. A way to pay someone as a payer. This one is very easy in my opinion, because you can use whatever wallet you want. |

Oh yeah, it is a lot of time to consider the development of the human brain OR technology. Nonetheless, Bitcoin doesn't need to prove itself for anything. What was dreamt is running smoothly today and I don't think Satoshi would have ever imagined that Bitcoin will go this far. If they are still alive then man they must have watery eyes with happiness all over their faces. Oh and let's not forget they also hold a big chunk of share out of those millions of Bitcoins so who knows how that master mind is still in play?
Yes but it's not only a matter of price. I mean perhaps Satoshi wouldn't believe Bitcoin would be worth $45k usd, but there are some other aspects that Satoshi imagined that didn't go exactly according to plan. I am a bitcoiner, don't get me wrong, but Satoshi's whitepaper had a promising title "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System". Unfortunately, Bitcoin is worth a lot today if you exchange it for USD, but in terms of usage it is still too far behind from becoming a proper P2P cash system. That said, we must focus on this and make Bitcoin a better cash system than the current one we live with. |

Bitcoin failed as P2P electronic cash a long time ago when the majority of users started using centralized exchanges and letting third parties hold their coins.
Personally I consider Monero as pure P2P money and I am very happy that Binance will delist XMR. Seriously, I think where Bitcoin fails, Monero jumps in and reminds me why I bought Bitcoin in the first place. Well, now I hold both, but Monero serves my original purpose much better. I think it's not too late though for Bitcoin. I don't want to derail the conversation but I believe that instead of killing ordinals, we should focus on running more nodes and more miners. It is sad because a bitcoin node requires minimal hardware to work and people rely on other nodes. At the same time, people use exchanges as you said. I think we must focus now on expanding the network horizontally. When that happens, we can consider more changes, but for now, I believe more devices should be running. It will not solve the problem, but it will definetely follow the original purpose of Bitcoin in a meaningful way. |

Finally, to be extra careful, do not go meet the other person in order to have a big deal. Make smaller deals one at a time, so that the other person know that scamming such moderate amounts won't be any beneficial for him.
I agree in general, but there is a safety problem. I would meet someone outside a bank, on working hours, so I would tell them to send me the sats and I would, at the same time, withdraw the money from the bank. This would be safer I guess. In my country some banks allow you to withdraw money with a temporary pin code, so you could not meet the other person at all, but you could instead give him the pin code to go and withdraw it themselves. Of course with this approach they don't get any information about you. The only problem is that you don't have an escrow. |
