What stops you from creating a channel with a well-connected node (like Kraken for example)? It's been years since I tried, but back then (not with Kraken) the well-connected nodes still didn't solve the problem. |

The biggest problem, in my view, is routing failures. It's extremely annoying, speaking out of personal experience. When I want to make a transaction, I want to be certain it will finish, and it's almost certainly the case that at least a quarter of my lightning payments fail. You can only reduce the failure probability by opening more and more channels This is another reason why I like custodial LN wallets (for small amounts): in my experience, they're much better connected than my own channels. |

'This is not a scam.' What an odd thing to say! |

The disk image obviously is not something that should go in a password manager I actually did that once (at work!): I stored the password to an encrypted container inside that encrypted container. Luckily I had a backup of the data.And you'll still have to remember the password to the password manager  |

I'm not sure which posts I should show you for review.

I'm not going to ask anyone to review my posts directly to the profile, especially since I'm not sure which posts you deserve. So you're posting just to share that you're not going to post anything? |

What you did is actually the correct way to use AI on the forum:
You announced that you were using AI, named the source, and then proceeded to post the material. You're right, this makes it faster to stop reading, and click Ignore on the user. I don't get the need so many people seem to feel to share whatever a computer spits out. If I wanted to know that, I'd ask that computer myself. |

Facebook is always changing stuff. Changing the UI, changing-adding-removing features etc. bitcointalk has only made a few minimal additions Facebook and other social media have only one goal: earning money. It's safe to assume every change they make it designed to keep people hooked, not to actually improve the user experience. I blocked social media from my hosts file years ago, and don't regret it. |

Did you also use the browsers which did not work on your PC? I would also suggest checking your anti-virus [on your PC], perhaps it was falsely flagging some stuff -- some AVs offer protection on browsers afaik. I agree with Jerome too on extensions, they could also break some stuff so try to toogle them and do sum trial and error. This is one of the reasons I prefer to install as little stuff as possible. I don't like extensions that read or even alter my data. In addition, the user DM and the link he/she provided for the task work on my mobile phone but are not shown on some browsers on my computer. I'd stop trusting this computer. Something is messing with your data. |

i think bitcoin core is not very good because it doesn't even have a seed phrase. but apparently one backup at the very beginning is all you need. but you can't even read the backup because it is in binary. i dont get it. i want to be able to see things. trust but verify. i don't trust something if i can't verify it. Is this a rant or a serious question? Format a computer. Reinstall Bitcoin Core. Restore your backup. Verify if you get the same wallet. If you don't want descriptors, create a non-descriptor wallet. |

Thanks again for your flawless timing!

Is there a way or command you could recommend to sort or isolate Base58 (legacy) addresses from the TSV sheet > to a data.txt file? Use grep: grep "^1" blockchair_bitcoin_addresses_and_balance_May_22_2024.tsv > legacy_and_balance.tsv I did it for you: legacy_and_balance.tsv (file will be deleted in 24h). |

It's great suggestion. Although LoyceV website seems to be down where my browser shows ERR_CONNECTION_RESET or PR_IO_TIMEOUT_ERROR. It works for me: wget -O- http://addresses.loyce.club/blockchair_bitcoin_addresses_and_balance_LATEST.tsv.gz

100%[==============================================================================================>] 1.47G 27.6MB/s in 55s Just in case, I restarted Apache2. That took a lot longer than I expected, I don't know why. Maybe it needed a good kick The DNS lookup fails which is weird. Try without "http://", that made it work here. what is the best way to find loads of them and inquire into their TXs and balance? For "loads" of addresses, I recommend this: How to useThe most likely use is to check a long list of Bitcoin addresses for a remaining balance. On Linux, use this to find matching addresses (after extrating the compressed .gz file of course): comm -12 Bitcoin_addresses_LATEST.txt <(cat mylist.txt | sort | uniq) - Bitcoin_addresses_LATEST.txt: the extracted latest version downloaded from addresses.loyce.club.
- mylist.txt: your own list of addresses, one address per line.
This takes only seconds to check millions of addresses. If your text file has Microsoft formatting, you may need to use this instead: comm -12 Bitcoin_addresses_LATEST.txt <(cat mylist.txt | fromdos | sort | uniq) If you want the balances of many addresses: grep -f mylist.txt blockchair_bitcoin_addresses_and_balance_LATEST.tsv This is a bit slower and eats RAM: 500,000 input addresses uses 1.5 GB RAM and took 50 seconds. You could mix it with the earlier command to only search the balance for addresses that aren't empty. Click the quote to download the files. |

I get this data from Blockchair.com, and their last update is from April 19. Their other data is still being updated, so it looks like something is stuck with updating the Bitcoin addresses. The daily updates are back to normal  |

We're dealing with uninteresting topics. Isn't that because topics are created to reach post quota, instead of because someone's genuinely interested? Ranking up/Merit: This started as a technical forum - not a social media circle jerk like Twitter et al. I think at its core it should remain a technical forum. This makes it all the more annoying to see more and more AI verbal diarrhea on the tech boards. The less than 100% bans for this isn't helping. |

I'm not much into gambling, so I don't mind. It would actually stop a lot of spam from being posted.
I've always liked EV+ contests, but that's mostly a thing from the past. When it's EV-, doing the math behind it is enough to lose my interest. I'm not going to tell myself: "I can win", while I realize: "I'm more likely to lose". So I don't do it.
I don't expect casinos to be banned though. They've changed their business to be more compliant. When I joined Bitcointalk, casinos were "no KYC, anyone can join". Now, those casinos ban users from many countries to comply with local law.

The point is that the forum proxy disconnects from the server if it does not receive a response after x seconds. I believe the problem occurs if you are loading 100 images from the same host at the same time. Maybe. I don't know how long the forum tries. But I would have expected the see the "image proxy failed" image instead of <nothing>. I will try to see what I can do on my server, to try to minimize this situation. That's all I can ask for, thanks |

Yet the wallet shows non - in fact all the time „synchronizing“ ist at 0%. If you used the correct address, all you an do it wait for it to synchronize. There are different settings though (Settings > Blockchain Settings > Bitcoin): API is fast, Privacy is slow. |

I entered the password mostly from muscle memory, because it was 28 or more random characters, upper and lower case, numbers and special symbols. As it turns out the brain is unreliable storage medium. That's how I enter most of my passwords too: I wouldn't be able to write them down, but I can easily enter them on a keyboard. And that brings me to my next question (small chance): have you tried a different keyboard? Or enter it 100 times in a text document, and see where you make common mistakes? |
