some reports can remain unhandled forever, and that doesn't mean moderators are not around or anything.
Especially reports for posts in Meta or Reputation often stay unhandled. If it's not clear spam, those 2 boards allow more than other boards.

You asked that your comments be deleted and LoyceV did in his self moderated topic, your not in the position to ask that he should delete his as well.
I have nothing to do with this Wink

I am waiting for LoyceV or theymos to create some topics like 10k merits
I made 5 years LoyceV! just 2 years ago. That's more than enough to last me 3 more years:
Once every 5 years, I get to brag Cheesy

I can't do this for every breath I take:
I noticed someone feels the need to give himself weekly medals Roll Eyes

Back on-topic:
Sorry, LoyceV, I wish I would have a thick skin like you and your gang members)
That's what the ignore button is for. The internet isn't supposed to be a place where you interact in ways you don't like. If you don't like a user: ignore them!

I have reported the above post twice but no response from the mod.
Did you report it as off-topic? I've noticed OPs get a bit more leeway to go off-topic in their own topics.

I don't see any sane person to support CSW claims.
I think it's like the flat earth people: of course they know the earth is a cube round, and of course they know everybody else knows it too. But they love the fact that there's always someone willing to debate them, even though no amount of sane arguments can convince them.

Binance has BSC so it will stand a chance of getting richer and richer
I hate BSC with a passion. Binance tricks customers into withdrawing their own made-up tokens instead of Bitcoin.

If I am not wrong his networth is around 96 Billion while FTX founder's networth is around 30 Billion
If those numbers are correct, I'd say this isn't right. It can't be good for crypto if 2 guys collected a few percent of the total market cap just from creating exchanges. Someone has to pay those billions, and it's not helping Bitcoin.
Those huge profits mean there's not enough competition. Binance's $30 withdrawal fees are a clear sign of that. The fact that they scam users after they themselves made a mistake shows Binance doesn't care about anyone else.

Third year paid and third estrous cycle started (simultaneously the best and worst part of being a vixen, which I'm still not getting tired of Wink). I had hoped to have more to offer for this year's "festivities", but it proved a bit too much to manage with everything going on in the world. Guess this will have to suffice (though we all know it usually does more than that Kiss).

Who's first? 💓


Thanks again for another year of flawless payments! Title updated!

My apologies for being late. I'd blame the kids, but MehMeh can't help it that she's ill Sad
8427  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: blockchain size on full node on: March 16, 2022, 06:06:59 PM
0.657 TB
That seems a bit much. Any chance there's 200 GB of other data included?

Quote
Please explain chainstate.
Allow me to copy Pieter Wuille:
Quote
the blocks directory contains the actual blocks. The chainstate directory contains the state as of the latest block (in simplified terms, it stores every spendable coin, who owns it, and how much it's worth).

Quote
Console command for that?
It's just a directory, by default on this location:
Code:
cd .bitcoin/chainstate/
8428  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: blockchain size on full node on: March 16, 2022, 04:50:33 PM
what can explain the difference in my copy?
Most sites don't update the total size, so the longer ago someone typed it, the smaller the number.
I currently have 4.6GB chainstate and 420 GB blocks.
8429  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [BACK ONLINE] Bitcoin block data (665 GB): inputs, outputs and transactions on: March 16, 2022, 12:33:58 PM
Yesterday I was looking for some hosting services for BTC and honestly speaking I haven't found anything I would trust.
For projects like this topic I don't really need AWS-level uptime, so I gladly go for the budget hosts. I run this project at Racknerd (good deals via Lowendtalk.com), and (so far) I'm quite happy with it. If I look at prices on their own site, it's much higher.
You could also go for RamNode, pay by the hour and less cheap, but from what I've seen RamNode has very solid performance too.
I don't think any of those are run from their garage Wink I run this project at Gullo's Hosting (again: see Lowendtalk.com for deals), which has the unique feature that it's run by one guy. Servers are international, so not from his garage, but you'll always deal with the same guy. He'll try his best, which for this project is everything I need.

I also found out that several of the higher range VPS providers don't accept Bitcoin, or demand a copy of my passport (yeah, right!) first.

That's not a VPS, so won't help me much.
8430  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [BACK ONLINE] Bitcoin block data (665 GB): inputs, outputs and transactions on: March 16, 2022, 11:05:08 AM
How do you currently extract the data you publish?
See:
Credits
Blockchair Database Dumps has a staggering amount of data, easily accessible (at 10 100 kB/s) with daily updates. All data in this topic comes from Blockchair.
(nobody ever reads the OP)

Quote
For operations on local blocks I have used that parser: https://github.com/gcarq/rusty-blockparser
Configuration was really easy, processing of course takes some time.
Memory usage to get balances: ~18GB. That would take a strong VPS.
8431  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [BACK ONLINE] Bitcoin block data (665 GB): inputs, outputs and transactions on: March 16, 2022, 10:26:04 AM
I've updated all links to the new host. Torrents should work again too:



You could run Bitcoin Core and processing script on local device, then upload the result to your VPS/seedbox.
Apart from the fact that I wouldn't know how to do this, I don't really want to add more load to my local PC.
8432  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [BACK ONLINE] Bitcoin block data (665 GB): inputs, outputs and transactions on: March 16, 2022, 09:13:01 AM
Ugh ... that leaves me with no other choice than use touch.
I used wget instead, this should preserve file dates.

Quote
How do you download this dump ?
Also using wget.

Quote
Are you downloading every update at 100kB/s ?
Yes.

Quote
If yes, we'd "only" save some time if you upload it to my end.
Using rsync would be so easy Wink

Quote
Giving you the ability to blink my hardware's light emitting diodes might be pointless.
It should be going wild now.

Quote
If the "input outputs transaction" dump is something like a csv file, just compiling the "missing" data with Bitcoin Core and append it to the dump could do the trick.
Until I can get the full data from my own Bitcoin Core installation, I'll keep using the data dumps. And even if I can get the data from Bitcoin Core, it would further increase the VPS requirements.

The people who showed me the path to emacs warned me about vi users.

I kid you not Cheesy

Is that true that if you tell average user to leave vi
It can't be: the average user doesn't use vi.
8433  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Binance Stuck My withdrawal on: March 16, 2022, 08:43:24 AM
In other words, you got scammed $80k by Binance. Sorry to hear your lose brother.
He got scammed for the amount he had in his account (hopefully a lot less than $80k).

In-fact they were liable to compensate you for the security breach in your account
There was no security breach. Just a dumb mistake of broadcasting a low-fee transaction for 19 months, so lack of internal wallet maintenance.

Quote
or you are going to take legal actions against them.
There's of course a reason Binance is hiding in the Caymen Islands.
If Binance would really have a case against shasan, they would have been the one taking legal action.
8434  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [BACK ONLINE] Bitcoin block data (665 GB): inputs, outputs and transactions on: March 15, 2022, 06:10:30 PM
However we'll go with SCP for this one. LoyceV I'm PMing you the credentials soon.
I actually prefer rsync, because scp changes the original file date, which is undesirable.

Quote
Yes, this is the one I meant to use for my project. (Bitcoin addresses with a balance)
In that case, just get the latest version Smiley No need for me to upload that one.

Quote
I can find the 700 GB and host "inputs, outputs and transactions" Smiley
Luckily the bandwidth is unmetered so I can also provide a mirror for some of the other dumps.
It would be great to have a mirror with decent bandwidth. If I don't have to upload 665 GB again when my host fails, it's already worth it.

How is the data processed ? Running on Bitcoin Core ?
If only I had the skills for that! I use this:

(f*ck vi Tongue "<esc> :wq!" wtf)

8435  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Securing Your Seed Phrase with Washers on: March 15, 2022, 05:52:17 PM
Are you sure it's still 4€ in all places?
€3,17 per 100! Or €6,10 to go a bit bigger. Or €3,83 if you settle for thinner rings. Cheap stuff Cheesy

Another thought: how fun would it be to use euro coins to stamp seed words into? Cheesy
8436  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Binance worth more than sum of European banks? on: March 15, 2022, 04:39:19 PM
Does this mean that someone thinks that Binance is worth between €40 trillion and €50 trillion?
The assets they hold aren't the same as the bank's value. I'm actually surprised by how low the value of large Dutch banks is: ING is worth 37 billion, ABN AMRO is worth only 10 billion. That means Coinbase is worth slightly more than ING.

As for Binance: I wouldn't be surprised if they're mostly forgotten 10 years from now. New Fintech competitors can emerge much faster than competitors for traditional banks.
8437  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Securing Your Seed Phrase with Washers on: March 15, 2022, 04:23:28 PM
I didn’t explicitly mention derivation path as I didn’t want to mess up things. Maybe it’s better to state the obvious? “Don’t use any fancy wallet to generate the seed? I should include a derivation washers”? Might be unintelligible  by the person who should get the Satoshi?
If you use a non-standard derivation path, it doesn't hurt to hammer it into another washer. Or hammer the wallet name + version.



This makes me wonder if some people use a very high derivation path to avoid someone stealing their coins: if you use for instance m/44'/44'/1875626591'/0 and even if someone gets your seed words, I doubt they'll ever find your (shit)coins.
8438  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [BACK ONLINE] Bitcoin block data (665 GB): inputs, outputs and transactions on: March 15, 2022, 01:14:02 PM
Did you consider Hetzner? From 3.45 for 1T, unlimited traffic.
I need a VPS, this looks a bit like "shared hosting". I guess I wasn't specific enough. It could work, but having to upload updates instead of just processing them on the server is far from ideal.
A bigger deal breaker is the fact that Hetzner doesn't accept Bitcoin. I don't want to link my credit card to anything crypto-related. From what I've read, I'd expect Hetzner to offer good quality hosting.
8439  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [BACK ONLINE] Bitcoin block data (665 GB): inputs, outputs and transactions on: March 15, 2022, 11:39:48 AM
People still use FTP these days? I remember using FTP with FileZilla long time ago.
I still use FTP on my local network, where I don't mind the lack of encryption.

Quote
I would demand partial/full refund.
It's paid per month, and really not worth the effort. I'd much rather have them fix the problems so I can finally keep this data online. I've uploaded it too many times already, and the whole point of having it on a server is so I can access it when needed.
If anyone finds a good offer on 1 TB storage, feel free to post it.
8440  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [BACK ONLINE] Bitcoin block data (665 GB): inputs, outputs and transactions on: March 15, 2022, 09:01:59 AM
I don't see why you're upset.
When uploading, I usually like to count the blinks on my switch and compare with the amount of packets really circulating on the wires.

Much fun. Don't you do that ? Grin
Lol. I'll have to stand in the hallway to count the blinks.

I'm still uploading data, but I'm not sure if I'll extend this hosts contract. It's now spitting out hardware errors:

More seriously, I can help hosting "balances" if that interests you.
Which "project" do you mean exactly? List of all Bitcoin addresses with a balance? That one is covered, it only takes 20 GB to host. Although by now the 2 TB monthly bandwidth isn't enough anymore, at day 15 it already used 1.2 TB so it'll go offline at the end of the month.
If you happen to have 700 GB available, by all means, share "inputs, outputs and transactions" Cheesy

Let me know, I can provide an FTP access to you.
FTP, scp, rsync, anything works for me Smiley
