As far as your question, I'm not aware of any bitcoin core contributor that has any financial interest in citrea
https://youtu.be/EKQvDfmQkt8?t=13210Jameson Lopp openly saying that he has a financial interest.  There are others too that I know. I'm not going to ask you a question I don't know at least partially know the answer to. I just wanted to see your answer. No, but I would be surprised.
I would not. I thought it was REALLY weird that y'all found a Testnet project before I did... then the mailing list people quoting page 16... right... Jameson Lopp is not, as far as I know, a Bitcoin Core contributor. |

I have been running Bitcoin Core on Ubuntu for some years now, and a new version usually gets a new snap pretty quickly - but currently my Ubuntu 24.10 system is stll showing 27.1 as the latest version, even though 28.0 and 28.1 have been released for months.
Is my snapd broken, or have snaps for Ubuntu been stopped for some reason?

Interest in Bitcoin has hit a low for this cycle. Price is moving up. New money is flooding in with more on the way. We’re about to have a pro-Bitcoin President and lowering interest rates with a second wave of spiking inflation. I still don’t know how this lines up every four years, but I’m excited for the next year as I’ve seen this before.
As it is for presidential things…. I see extremely different things… who is actually a favorite at this time? |

Dickpics included? Is this still here on the WO or someone had a second thought regret?
Technically, no dick After one beer too many A dickless piss pic #haikuFunny how history can sometimes be re-written, since I thought that we used to just call it a pee pic or something like that... and were't most guys talking about the shoes, anyhow? Well, I have a pretty graphical memory, but somehow in this case memories are quite blurred. My only question is if this pictures is still buried in the WO, or not. I tried to search it, but without muck luck. So I guess the former… Are you talking about the 2nd picture in this post? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.msg49889186#msg49889186 |

WTF, Is it believable for a low amount transaction of this fee. 4 may 2024, someone paid $100,608 fees for their $6 amount Bitcoin transfer.  Hmm. No change address. Weird. I don't think any legit wallet would miss that. ive sent txs setting the fee to be deducted from the sent amount in core. so, the tx goes out with just destination addy. guess it was deliberate? This kind of thing used to happen occasionally because someone tried to spend directly from a paper wallet without transferring the whole amount in the wallet. There is no change address for a paper wallet, so you have to transfer the whole amount in the paper wallet to a 'hot' wallet first if you want to be able to spend some part of it and get your change. |

So, please stop posting nonsense about Al Gore!
You don't parse sarcasm do you? There were no macbooks in the 60s. The nonsense about Al Gore was spread by... guess who? Al Gore. Kind of like CSW with bitcoin, but it was even easier to falsify. What a dork. Rumor has it that Al Gore not only invented the internet, he actually invented most of computer science as we know it. That's why they call computational methods "Al-Gore-ithms"  |

Little GAME
First to post/quote it….
Merit shower
It’s a piece of WO history X
Me at a party drunk AF at this time cheers
I vaguely remember that you said you deleted that picture. So I guess the only option to see it is hoping someone quoted it. I wasn't able to find on your merited posts with merits>1. But maybe I didn't dig it hard enough. It wasn't deleted - I found it and linked it in this post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.msg61932583#msg61932583 |

Haha, bull market times. Only the OG’s will remember this. When the green candles are pumping, so is the dude. I got to page 489 of his posts, but I wasn't able to find it!

Nope, no sorcery, luck or the Fed (  ), just this little math thingie: 
Sure, this is so localized it may well be Fed-or-whatever-else-induced noise, but it's still fun to comment on and attempt to predict such UPpities...Does this formula have any other meaning than the result is 21*10 6? Which is, of course, a great number. So for i =0 I get 10500000 as a result. For i=1 I get 5250000 and so on. So does e.g. 10500000 have any meaning or can anyone continue working with the numbers / this formula? For example make a formula to calculate the mined bitcoin per year? It would be great if I could scribble all over the blackboards at school. http://twelvebytwelve.net/gwh-images/gwh-00259.jpgAny maths professionals here? Well, I am not a maths professional, but... The purpose of writing it in that form is basically just to show how the halvings work. There is a halving of the block reward every 210,000 blocks. The block reward for each block in the i th halving period will be 50/(2^i), and the total of bitcoins generated in that halving period will, of course, be 210,000 * [50/(2^i)]. The sum of coins generated in all halvings will be ~21,000,000 as we all know. Sorry in advance if I have misunderstood your question. |

It looks like CoinGeek has already accepted CSW as Satoshi https://coingeek.com/coingeek-weekly-livestream-episode-19-taals-stefan-matthews-shares-early-encounters-with-satoshi-video/In a stunning revelation, Matthews tells CoinGeek’s Chief Bitcoin Historian Kurt Wuckert Jr. that he initiated a series of proof sessions wherein Dr. Wright met in private with several relevant figures such as Gavin Andresen. The purpose of these highly confidential meetings was to provide evidence that Dr. Wright has the keys to the early blocks in Bitcoin. On these occasions, the invited guest was asked to randomly select any three blocks from the first ten and to dictate a private message that Dr. Wright would sign. I believe that Coingeek is actually owned by Calvin Ayre. It is specifically dedicated to promoting Bitcoin SV. Look at the bottom of their front page and you will see this blurb: The first media to report all the information in BSV (Bitcoin Satoshi Vision). BSV is the only major public chain that maintains Bitcoin's original vision and is committed to creating fast, frictionless electronic cash.
In the bottom banner are three logos for "Ayre Media", "Ayre Group" and "Calvin Ayre Foundation". |

Probably a stupid question, but you're not copying the blockchain while the client is running? If so, the database will be changing as it's copied, and you will always get corruption.

Whatever happened to that professor in Brazil that trolled this thread for years? Anybody remember his name?
I'm curious if he still has an online profile and twitter account.
Last time I heard from him he made a lengthy negative comment on a pending ETF application when the SEC asked for public feedback.
Stolfi? He hangs out on the /r/btc subreddit with all the bcash tards. Good place for him to be honest, surrounded with like-minded intellectuals Apparently he is still lurking around here too - last active about a month ago, according to his profile: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=183158 |

Someone tell me how to make that ghost icon thingie. (copy-paste it into a text edditor that doesn't have this font and it should show the 1F47B unicode number. Then google that number) Is there a way to just type it out? For example, ™ is made by holding alt and typing 0153 on the numeric keyboard? This worked for me: 1) Press and hold ALT 2) Type "128123" on numeric keypad 3) Release ALT Of course, the font in use must contain the 'ghost' character. That just gets me {. Using whatever is standard for windows, but I could still copypaste the ghost into the address bar like any other text. Weird. If I try to enter it on this forum, I get the same '{' as you. It works in Wordpad, etc., and probably lots of other websites and forums, just not here /shrug |

It will definitely trickle down to the real economy, just like it did 2009 - 2019.
During that time they managed to keep a lid on food prices, gas prices, and some services, but literally *everything else* skyrocketed: houses, student loans, new cars, new phones, utilities, phone bills, health insurance, etc. And that was all during a period of global deflation!
You can't have all those things skyrocketing while people's salaries remain stagnant over the same period. That's inflation (actually stagflation) and that's why people feel poorer and poorer over time.
It's going to be even worse over the next decade. MUCH worse.
I'm not sure it did trickle down... In the same bill where congress approved $800B+ in 'fiscal stimulus', they also approved a measure that allowed the fed to pay interest to banks on excess reserves. Until this time, banks naturally kept excess reserves as close to zero as possible; however, as soon as they started making money off them, reserves skyrocketed. In the graph below you can see that shortly after the 'fiscal stimulus', the excess reserves climbed to over $800B almost immediately. Coincidence? Maybe They continued to climb, and are still very high:  |

It's funny thinking back to huge posts from long ago. When I first made a bookmark for the WO, it was on page 673. Now whenever I come on here, it opens on that page, so I'm destined to see Frozenlock's twitching eyebrows forevermore (unless I were to update my bookmark, but where's the fun in that?). Leads me to ponder whatever happened to folk who were posting back then. I sometimes wonder what the ratios are for:
Still Around : Bored of WO and signed off : Got Wrecked and signed off : Made Enough to Retire and Disappeared : Suffered Psychosis and Disappeared : Died
Why use a bookmark? If you just add the thread to your watch list you won't have this issue. |

Is it possible that you made the copy while the clent was running? I would imagine that if that is the case, the database would be being changed as your copy was taking place, possibly resulting in an inconsistency which would require a resync.
If you are going to make a copy of the blockchain, I think you would need to shut down, then copy.
Just guessing here :-)
