I would like to know if there is a way to smoothly mine cryptocurrencies in a country that suffers from power Outages on daily basis.
I do have an electricity generator to keep the mining devices running but there is a 5 seconds Gap for the generator to start.
If you want uninterrupted mining, maybe buying one or more UPS would be an option to think about. Does anyone know a way where the computer can automatically log in again to the mining pool whenever it restarts due the electricity cuts?
If you want a computer re-connect/restart something, Windows has plenty of ways to run a program as soon as the system has started, for example startup, registry or scheduled tasks. I am sure that Linux has similar things, but I am not familiar with that. From what I know, ASICs run independently, so I don't think that you need a computer. Or maybe you do GPU mining and receive BTC? However, keep in mind that the router also needs time to restart and connect to ISP, hence once again I advise UPS. |

Yeh, I noticed a guy at work was always bragging he'd sunk a LOT of money into bitcoin before it went to $20,000 a couple of years ago then bragged then bemoaned when it started sliding downwards.
As Bitcoin reached $50,000 this year he went eerily silent about owning any Crypto.
Funny that.
It's hard to tell if he has sold or he has became aware of the actual value and its fragility. However, it's a great story. And if you remember this, others do too. Basically whatever he did, does or will do, he still have "possible target" painted on his back. For quite some more years. |

There's definitely more privacy with BTC than there'll be with CBDCs.
LOL what? Bitcoin have public ledger. Anyone. Totally anyone can look at all your trades. Not a police or judge or but every single criminal in the world. CBDCs will have opaque ledger and only central authority will be able to check transaction. Those that those authorities will sell your info and those that will hack them and steal this info. The difference is that for Bitcoin there can pretty easily be made so there's no correlation between your actual name/person and (some of) your wallets. On the other hand, although you will not know how much digital EURO I own, the government will surely know. I'll say that neither is optimal, but at least for Bitcoin you always have the choice of a mixer  |

they're just kinda incentivizing writers to post and update their content more(which has it's own pros and cons).
That would be rather stupid, but I would not be surprised. However, from my tests, old 2010, 2012, 2013 StackOverflow answers are still returned by Google if the terms fit. Maybe Greg is right and the problem has to be researched mostly focused on Bitcointalk. |

If there are other people that have a million of bitcoin then we should've known about it.
Bitcoin's pseudo-anonymity allows entities hide their wealth if they want to. Not everybody feel it necessary to brag about how many coins he has. And an example I've seen lately is Coinbase, for which the cold wallet addresses are not easy to find out, but they had not long ago 994904BTC. I know that it's not the best example, since it's not their money, but it's an example that shows that this can be done rather easy. |

It will be good to also update their wallet, it is one of the wallets I can never use for now, it support only legacy addresses, one of the reasons many bitcoiners are still using legacy address when there are segwit addreses to be used. About their explorer, I find it easy to use, but I really like the new improvement, but I use more of blockchair.com because it still support more features like RBF.
Actually it's great as it is: it makes it easier to convince newbies use something else, preferably a wallet they install and that has (amongst other features) also RBF. We tell for years that web wallets are inherently unsafe, but people don't care. Lower fees (SegWit) and RBF are better "selling points"  |

There is no 1 million Bitcoin wallet but there is someone that has a 1 million bitcoin and that is satoshi, only satoshi has that and I don't think that satoshi will put all of it in just one wallet, that's a one strike one kill for satoshi if he forgot that one wallet.
You are wrong and you have a lot to learn. A wallet can contain any number of addresses. So it can happen that some entity has that many coins, even if it's not Satoshi. If you would have read a few more posts before posting, you'd already know this much. |

Rather than humble, a better-suited concept would be private
I would first go for humble too. I mean that people bragging about Bitcoin may be perceived as ones having more money than they actually have, especially when Bitcoin price is on the rise and Bitcoin is all over the news. Of course, private would mean no bragging at all, maybe not even telling anyone about the interest in Bitcoin. So yeah, it's somewhat debatable, but I'd say that both are needed. And about the money / private keys at home, the problem is that even if one doesn't keep them at home, or keep them super safe and super encrypted, if that somebody was bragging and some think that he may have many coins, the 5$ wrench may come to action, breaking all those encryptions. |

but it will be good for the site to also indicate if a transaction is flagged to support RBF.
I still prefer blockchair.com to be the best though because it has all I needed including showing transactions that support RBF or not.
I've used blockchain.com for years too and it was hard to move forward. Somehow blockchain.com still remains at least one step behind the best blockchain explorers. But somehow I find blockchair, although one of the best, not easy to read, not .. nice. I am still hesitating between blockchair and mempool.space, but mempool.space seems to be winning, since it doesn't round the fee to integer. |

I don't think such digital euros are even necessary, they can create a coin and give them the name of Euro but if it doesn't provide us with privileges of anonymity and freedom, I doubt anyone would use it. They have to combat crimes, not we, it's their burden, because of exceptions, they can't make rules for everyone and make it norm!
A stable coin pegged to EURO, provided by an entity much more trusted than Tether can ever be, accepted and probably advertised by most shops.. I doubt that there will be many who will not use it in some years. It has a good chance to become something more widely used, accepted and probably cheaper(!) than Visa or MasterCard, which are also far from anonymous. |

Google is notorious for changing things up with the algorithm A LOT, that could simply either effect your site in a good way, or sometimes even almost kill it in terms of traffic.
Still, searching for terms in the page should yield that page, even if the last in results, not ... just vanish. I find the last changes of Google a total #fail. Actually since yesterday I also switched to DDG, although Google served me wonderfully since its early beginning. |

there is no chance of them taking all the money in your account, correct?
Well, if this happens, the money will be locked for quite a while and you may have to answer to various questions. Only after they unlock the money it's yours again. From what I know this kind of situations are more frequent if you sell Bitcoin ("what's the source of your money?"), but keep in mind that most banks don't like Bitcoin, are afraid of Bitcoin and some may (still!) see Bitcoin investors/users as criminals. But as said, best is to ask about the specific bank. Some banks - very few - even advertise themselves as Bitcoin friendly. |

Does that make sense to you?
The last block fees were 0.84224237 BTC the reward was 6.25000000 BTC, how many of those you need to do to compensate for every day you haven't mined?
I'll add that the bigger chunk of those extra/bigger fees will be most likely received by the remaining miners, not those turning off the gears. I don't know who has come with this idea, I've seen it propagated in other threads too. And it indeed makes no sense. A weekend at the normal hashrate cut 80vMB from the top, there is another one coming before the adjustment that should force some extra 25 blocks a day, under normal circumstances one week from now on you the only ones left will be 1sat/b transactions.
We'll have about 1/4 of the week-end at this pace and the rest will be on lower difficulty. Yay! I didn't want to be overly optimistic and say 1 sat/vByte, but I do expect to fall under 5 sat/vByte anyway. |

The only outcome of an article of this nature is that of showing bitcoin in the usual bad way that the mainstream media likes more than everything. To catch a few more clicks, they can go as far as writing these stories.
Nothing new here. Journalists, media, they all have their own agenda: to generate revenue. They don't care about you, nor me, nor Bitcoin. Before Bitcoin I already knew that TV shows are the filler between the commercials. Out of normal events make people curious. So they didn't care they send a wrong signal, they didn't care it sounds like a poorly made up story, they have a story. |

It has not much to do neither with the mushrooms, since he didn't sell next day when he got sober, it's not much informative and people can get wrong impression about investing in Bitcoin, ... I'm neither amused not impressed.
There's only one good point in that news: luck is underrated.

If I start mining bitcoin today, can I mine the last bitcoin?
I don't know how old are you and I don't know how will the science advance, but year 2149 is a bit far though, so the answer is no. All in all, every ~4 years the block reward is reduced to half, so the miners receive less coins from the mined block. But you should keep in mind that they do receive all the transaction fees too. and what will happen when the last bitcoin mined? What miners will do after mining all coins?
Normally the things should continue as they do now. Just the miners, while now they get X BTC (from block reward) + Y BTC (from tx fees), ... X will be 0, but Y may be bigger than now, at least as US dollars. Maybe you want to read a little into https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Controlled_supply |

The phone call is what caused my 3 second delay, or maybe I was 4 minutes 57 seconds early.
Woah! Unless you are the same as Foxpup, which I believe you're not, not in this universe, you seem to be experimenting time travel and you've got some promising results! I understand it's not commercially available, but it's a start! I think I got it now how does Foxpup handle the payments: goes back in time, buys some bitcoin at under 1$ a piece, then she can easily fill some thirsty bags. I understand that she didn't tell how she does this, but I'm impressed, you seem to have a good progress on replicating that procedure. |

It may worth mentioning that there exist for sale adapters you can insert into the USB type A and the "make it become" USB-C or Micro-USB. It's a very cheap and space efficient alternative for carrying one more cable. I use this for my Nano S to connect it to my phone when no trusted desktop is available. The following link is only as example: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000719493594.htmlThis being said, any USB cable should do, I recommend USB-C because it's reversible (and I know people who ruined their Micro USB connector!!) and also seems to be the near future for the phones' connector. So imho the package should be USB-A - USB-C with a USB-C OTG adaptor (USB-A desktop, USB-A + OTG for phone, USB-C for your device). |

I can imagine this will be an improvement in some cases: I often get completely outdated information when I search something*. But if Google can't distinguish between what is and what isn't actually outdated, I'd rather get all relevant search results instead of only the most recent ones.
*Example: Covid travel restrictions. Any search results older than a few weeks are outdated, but a 5 year limit isn't going to improve that.
Google always had the option to restrict the results to the ones from a certain period. And it was great, and it should do for your use case. But if no proper results are found whatsoever, there's nothing to restrict... |
