Anyway, on to the next round, I already got way ahead of myself thought I would wait for 5x RP promo tomorrow but already collected 101 Golden Tickets.
That's already a very good (and promising) start. I also wait for tomorrow's x5 promo. I do not feel motivated now, if soon we may have much more 'side gains'. And maybe we should start talking about F1 again, Verstappen seems to be a very strong candidate for winning again this year. |

A new version of Electrum has been released on April 18th. Release notes: - New onchain transaction creation flow, with configurable preview
- Various options have been moved to toolbars, where their effect
can be more directly observed. - lightning: support for option scid_alias.
- Qt GUI: UTXO privacy analysis: this dialog displays all the
wallet transactions that are either parent of a UTXO, or can be
related to it through address reuse (Note that in the case of
address reuse, it does not display children transactions.)
- Coins tab: New menu that lets users easily spend a selection
of UTXOs into a new channel, or into a submarine swap (Qt GUI). - Lightning invoices are regenerated everytime routing hints are
deprecated due to liquidity changes.
- Script descriptors are used internally to sign transactions.
And for the corresponding Android application: - Using Qt 5.15.7, PyQt 5.15.9
- This release still on python3.8
- Feature parity with Kivy
- Android Back button used throughout, for cancel/close/back
- Note: two topbar menus; tap wallet name for wallet menu, tap
network orb for application menu
- Note: long-press Receive/Send for list of payment requests/invoices Source: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/master/RELEASE-NOTESOne and only download page: https://electrum.org/#download |

There is also a question if you want to use any other services, like Electrum server or RPC browser. Anyway, I have a strong feeling that even if better CPU may give some gains, you would observe them only in the initial phase (blockchain downloading and parsing, electrum database building etc), not during normal usage.
And remember to adapt bitcoin node memory settings, I think you may assign more memory to that process for faster processing. Answering the question from the subject - does not really matter in my opinion. In fact, you may even use hybrid mode, where you store raw blockchain files on slow disk and only indexes etc. on fast ssd.

The only problem I see is that FUN is not showing at all any sign of a recovery despite we saw some great recovery in price of Bitcoin,Ethereum and Litecoin to name a few as of lately.
Or recovery is "hidden" by BTC recovery, so at the end you receive the same. But that's true, interest from locking is the only profit, many people who had hopes for double win (interest and price) could be disappointed, especially when they locked their tokens and they missed BTC price dump (and token price increase). But let's look optimistically into the future - 5x promo is coming and we may gain a lot of sats from RPs. |

I think waiting for the collecting input process is pretty long, even up to 4 hours in the process I tried this time.
I don't know whether the time taken is reasonable or not. Maybe later, when the process is complete, I will try to update again.
Does it mean you have waited 4hours with your HW plugged in etc? That's pretty long I would say (of course with real coins it might be less), I wonder if there could be other way of doing that (like session saved/assigned to HW ID). |

do you have any other data like That ? i need to test my GPUs using wif solver cuda ?
regards
The simplest way to test performance of your card would be to launch examples from /docs/ folder. You may easily adapt them for your needs to calculate the performance and estimated time needed for solving the given problem. |

I was absent, event not reading the forum for the last few weeks; how about the pool for Lambo, did you finally managed to make an agreement and is there a group of people who played together? If yes, what were the rules, equal share or proportional to number of tickets?

Their location is a matter of categorizing IP addresses and mapping them to geography.
Which of course cannot be treated as a definitive solution. There are companies which sell updated information about IP ranges and their locations, so if you want to rely on that it will not be for free. I do not think there are a lot of public (not-tor) nodes which use VPN to hide their real public IP, but it is possible too. |

The GPU max Memory available is some 32 GB in some high end devices.
A100 has 80GB, but as memory usage is not linear, it does not really matter. GPU is not a magical tool which would solve any problem any time. Especially when we talk about memory usage - in case of GPU you CANNOT use memory as a simple storage as it will affect your performance a lot. There is probably somewhere a golden rule, between the same algorithm on CPU and on GPU, but definitively it does not work like "just give me more RAM". BTW, GPU may use host RAM directly, so build-in RAM is not really a limiting factor. All depends how it will be used, as latency could be killing the performance. |

Even with current Proof of Space/PoS which use storage drive, it only cause quick shortage since PoS miner realize they need SSD with very good quality/durability. So i expect if coin which use algorithm which stress the RAM become popular, people would buy high-end or pricey RAM which won't lead to shortage among average computer user.
Probably you came to correct conclusion, even today when we talk about -let's say- ECC, we may have consumer-targeted RAM and professionals-targeted, server RAM, where ECC is required and is more important than a "speed". Like many other computer parts, also memory could be 'tuned', we may increase freq - but it is not the way how serious servers work, as they expect absolute confidence of results. |

Funny April 1st announcements were made by these HW device manufacturers and as you noticed, Ledger could not come up with anything original.
It's the other way around. They whole offer is like a one big April 1st, the other companies had to do an extra effort to be at the same level. But yes, honestly speaking I think HWs are overpriced and any reason (even April 1st) would be a good reason to make a discount promo. After all, the cheaper HWs are, the more popular they become. |

I think it possible but will be not efficient since the price of ram is very high Bitcoin miners aren't cheap either. That literally doesn't matter, since all miners have to deal with it. If it's cheaper, they buy more. ASICs are not cheap because they make a good profit. And in long-term I think hardware costs become a secondary problem, as electricity/cooling/hosting etc becomes more important. But it is interesting to have a wide view, how electricity and hardware costs may impact profitability and the whole network power (and difficulty adjustment). |

How many sets must be checked? I guess you do not know the starting point, so the real difficulty is in the fact that we may need to take into account X initial keys.
Processing a single set itself is trivial - I guess you know the public key/address you are looking for, at least it is not very difficult to generate addresses for each public key and see which one is founded.

Wow, now you have really surprised me! I though you are hard-core software developer, C maniac etc, I did not expect you have such a talents! Not my part of business, but good luck; if I need services like that one day, I know whom to contact first  |

By having the private keys, law enforcement was able to seize all the Bitcoin controlled by those keys.
If ChipMixer would have deleted them after handing out a chip, they wouldn't have been able to do that.
We do not know what it the content and source of 7GB data mentioned before. I may imagine the situation where CM operator deleted private keys and/or session data as it was promised, but if server has been hosted using serious datacenter, regular backups were done. In my opinion it is not impossible that some data comes from backups (restore points) made by hosting operator. |

A week ago Chainanalysis has published a report about their view on crypto money laundering and ways which funds from suspicious sources go. Honestly speaking what I see are just graphs and numbers and I have no idea how they know a given coin comes from scam, ransomware etc, but maybe they know what they do. More info: https://blog.chainalysis.com/reports/crypto-money-laundering-2022/ |

Yeah right, if only this surge in price could have happened few days ago then I would have won the bet, LOL. Also, the base rewards for free roll on freebitco.in has now decreased by 1 satoshi due to the surge in bitcoin price. Current base reward is 8 satoshis.  yes lucky for those who play freebitcoin since the beginning they always believe that bitcoin has value and they keep collecting bitcoin thousands of satoshi every hour since several years ago, until finally we find 8 satoshi now, maybe one day it will be 1 satoshi because of the value of bitcoin price that goes up I am not completely sure what you write is true, because I think that base reward depends on personal stats, if you use it a lot, without wagering, betting or playing multiply game, it will decrease. You may take a look at "% achieved...." to see how it changes when you roll or bet. |

Oh great news.
Any estimations when it starts? In February, March, November?
Is it open or bitcointalk members tournament only?
