Thanks. Who said I don't run my own mempool instance?  I do run my own mempool instance

I run 2 nodes, to be honest. Specifically:

1. I run Umbrel on an RPi. There I run btc core + electrs + dojo + robosats + LND (which I plan to remove soon) + my own mempool instance

2. I run Raspbian Lite (no GUI) on an RPi. I wanted to have clean custom setups here. So, for now, I run btc core + electrs + Sparrow + CLN (which doesn't work as expected but I don't have time to figure out what's wrong)

Next steps:
0. I will properly install Tor on the second RPi. The first node (umbrel) works with TOR as expected.
1. I want to remove LND forever
2. I want to properly install CLN
3. I want to install mempool instance on the second node.

I agree but most people will argue they couldn't possibly know when the dip is reached. For Bitcoin, I consider every price at the level where it is now as a dip, so essentially DCA and RDP are identical processes 

So I was partially right. But why a limited edition? I think a bitcoin-only wallet would grant them higher revenue.

Thanks for the info. It doesn't affect the tutorial itself though. Any addition is welcome, so If you have any technical details, let me know and I can add them to the OP.

This tutorial is no longer valid.
Since Sparrow 1.9.0 the mixing feature is no longer supported.

Sparrow terminal / infinite Whirlpool mixes

Installing Sparrow
Steps:

Find the proper version for our architecture and download with wget:


Install the deb file using the command:

By default, the Sparrow binary will be in

---

Running Sparrow
Note:
Using ssh can be tricky. If you initiate a session, start sparrow and then close ssh, it will close sparrow too. So we will use the "screen" command. If it is not installed, run:

Steps:
Run screen command:

Navigate to the path mentioned above ("/opt/sparrow/bin") and run Sparrow.

It will load the following screen:


Insert the preferences tab and go to server:


Then choose the option you desire for the node to which you wish Sparrow to be connected. Personally I run Sparrow on the same linux device as my node, so it looks like this:


Then head back to the wallets tab and click on it:


Click on "Create wallet":


Go to the "Deposit" tab:


It will give you an address where you can send your funds:


Go to the UTXO tab and click on "Mix Selected"


Once the process goes further, head back to "Postmix" tab:


There, you will be presented with your UTXOs



Final Steps
Click: this will get you out of the Sparrow app and it will leave it running on the background.

Whenever you decide, you can enter
Sparrow will be presented to you exactly where you left it and you can enjoy your free mixes.

I do! 

However I will not remember them in the future. And I will not remember my passphrase in the future. I back it up so I don't need to remember it.

Anyway, it's not the best discussion since I agree with both of you and I find it difficult to argue on behalf of other people  :-p

Yeap that's what I thought and why I asked. Thanks


Everyone will agree with what you say. However, without talking about my passphrase, one would argue that it's better to have a "long" passphrase (including lowercase, uppercase, numbers, and symbols) but that is also "easier" to remember. Isn't it true? I mean, going for something like "29$_918jHlahq2)814nd000qhh<>ajL" is perfect, but you must back it up perfectly and forget any chances to "remember" it. You will ask, why remember it when you can just note it down twice? Correct! But it's good to have also have a chance of remembering it if needed.

So I can be Satoshi too. This is fantastic, I always wanted fame.


I like the way you put those arguments. I don't know why it is not so obvious to all the people who believe him. In fact, I don't know how Gavin was convinced. Seriously! In times like this I keep asking myself if there is something I don't understand, because things go out of my common sense. But, I have come to conclusion that as BlackHatCoiner said, being bribed seems a good excuse.


We have all made mistakes. If he has sincerely changed his mind, it is good for him and I respect that.

But! This is not a mistake that can be easily forgotten. As o_e_l_e_o stated above, all those questions prove that there is something deeper that we ignore. He was, in my opinion and I may be wrong, very easily convinced that CSW was Satoshi. He didn't even seem to be suspicious at all. I mean, we know that Gavin took the leading development role from Satoshi himself (via email). Did CSW do anything (anything at all), to prove that he was the person that gave Bitcoin's development to Gavin? Did he provide any proof of having talked to him back in 2010? If not, then how was he convinced so easily?

Let me repeat though. If he has sincerely changed his mind, it is good for him and I respect that. But id doesn't change the past.

Having seen that, I don't want to create a separate topic for this (unless Loyce wants me to), but I want to define what a strong passphrase means and add a question. I will not discover the wheel, but I will add some examples.

Personally, I currently have a wallet and I have set a passphrase which is longer than 20 characters and it includes all types of characters (small, capital, numbers, symbols). I think this is a super strong passphrase and of course I keep double backup (separate from the seed).

I believe this website gives a good estimation of how long it would take to crack a passphrase: https://random-ize.com/how-long-to-hack-pass/ , but I also want your opinion. I didn't put my passphrase and I didn't try anything similar or close to my passphrase.

Let me give examples.

1. "stayaway" - 1 min 13 sec
2. "StAyAwaY" - 5 hrs 13 min
3. "stay away" - 1 month 6 hrs
4. "StAy AwaY" - 2 years 4 months
5. "St4y Aw4Y" - 6 years 5 months
6. "stayawayfromme" - 730 years 6 months
7. "Stay Aw4y Fr0m Me" - 39555681645472620 years

Now my question is: This website doesn't seem to take into account dictionary attacks. Is there a website that can do both? I mean password number 3 (and perhaps more than this one) could be found much easier than brute-forcing.

I have missed this part. Yeah it makes sense, having got bribed. However, sometimes, when I feel like something is definetely wrong, I try to think about it from the other ones' perspective. Having said that, there is a strong question in my mind. "Can someone be so arrogant and stupid, to try to convince people he is someone who he isn't ?" . Apparently and evidently yes, but... It feels so wrong, if you get what I mean.

Now, to the more technical aspect of the conversation. I can't imagine how a software engineer like G. Andresen could simply lie like that. Apart from it being unethical, it also insults our knowledge and common sense. If Craig Wright had access to Satoshi's PK, he would simply sign in front of everyone. Period! Everything else is for morons. (Forgive my lang).

I have read that, thanks. Is it true that CSW claims he proved G. Andresen and J. Matonis that he can sign with the PK linked to the addresses of the first bitcoin blocks (aka Satoshi's PK)?

Wasn't the COPA case closed? That's what I thought, that COPA have officially won the case.


Why weird? Twitter (or X) is a place where anyone (literally anyone) can say anything (literally anything) they want. The level of misinformation on Twitter is phenomenal. I don't talk about inaccurate info, but rather about huge lies that can have severe consequences which are much more serious. Personally I closed Twitter due to the fact that I was seeing how easy it was to lie and gain followers based on lies. This is a very serious problem in general.

Lot 2: 0.007 BTC and it's my final offer Thank you all, good luck.

Thank you all. So, having high electricity cost and based on your comments, I decided to stay away from mining for the time being. I will certainly leave the thread open in case anyone want to add their opinion.

@BitMaxz I checked and none of them is very profitable, at least not a "cheap" one. Thanks though.

Thanks for the info. Yes this is why I said "I suppose". But thanks!

13 apogio

Thanks

Basically we talk about $0.2, so we are far away from the $0.05 benchmark that you said. Guess I 'll have to wait...

Haha no I don't use websites or anything internet-connected.

I have developed my own tool - you can see here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5467234.0.

I ran it on a computer that doesn't have a network card, meaning it can never be connected to the internet

Haha it depends on how you define veteran 😜 thanks though

Hey, can we do 22 - apogio ? Thanks
