1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How Are Transactions Made Through Merkle? on: July 19, 2024, 06:06:59 AM
This means the transaction is verified using a Merkle tree structure without broadcasting it to the public blockchain.

Still, using a dedicated smartphone as a Bitcoin wallet does not make it as secure as a hardware wallet (which is designed to be entirely offline and immune to online threats).

BitcoinLib may be a good choice. Plenty of examples out there are capable to help you get the hang of it.

4  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Your IP network is currently pending review. ( Bitcoin Core ) on: March 12, 2024, 07:52:21 AM
I have 2 Internet providers,
one works OK the other one says "Your IP network is currently pending review"
everything is the same nothing is changes in the local network when it is swamped with the 2 Internet providers.

It's possible that the IP address range assigned by Internet provider B is flagged by bitnodes. io or other services due to previous activity or network behavior. This could result in your network being subject to additional scrutiny or review. If so, you need to contact Internet provider B's customer support.

Is the wallet file you are attempting to open compatible with the version of Bitcoin Core you are using? Is there sufficient disk space available where the Bitcoin Core data directory and wallet files are stored?

BitMaxz has provided a great explanation. For question 4, one additional point to consider is an older GitHub page that might be helpful to you:

BitcoinJS-lib is a JavaScript library for Bitcoin scripting and works both on Node.js and in web browsers.  It allows you to create, manipulate, and interpret Bitcoin transactions.  You can install it using npm with `npm install bitcoinjs-lib`. And here is the link: https://github.com/bitcoinjs/bitcoinjs-lib

Hope this is helpful.

nc50lc has already provided a great answer to your question. I just wanted to add that the official Bitcoin Core documentation offers comprehensive insights into commands, usage, and wallet management. You can access it here: https://bitcoincore.org/en/doc/
10  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Temporary wallet.dat files on: November 28, 2023, 09:24:15 AM
This is a matter of forensics, but this has also to do with the software. For instance, some software leave temporary files in certain "temp folders", or have a "recently opened" files on a dropdown menu, etc.
Do you mean that some desktop environments or file managers maintain a list of recently accessed files? I usually ensure proper data wiping using tools to securely delete files and overwrite the data multiple times to prevent forensic recovery. And maybe you can consider running it in a more controlled or isolated environment, like a virtual machine or container, to contain its activity. During the learning process, corrections and guidance are always welcome.
11  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: About connecting node to hard-forked private network on: November 06, 2023, 06:56:36 AM
There is private chain with nodes which are reachable only by the founders at the moment.

But I’m looking for ways to start mining now cuz the mining cost is very low now.

Is there a way to start mining in this case?

You need to communicate with the founders or administrators of the private blockchain network and work within the rules and permissions they have set. Or,  if you can become a node operator within the private blockchain network, you may have the ability to participate in the consensus process and mine blocks.

I don't know much about it, but I've seen websites about it before from other sources. I hope this can help you.

Thank you all for your valuable insights and assistance. I plan to take the next few days to explore refurbished laptops online, based on the advice you've provided. Once again, a big thank you to each one of you for your help!
14  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Operate Bitcoin Core on a laptop with restricted storage capacity on: October 16, 2023, 02:51:24 AM

Side question, how long do these refurbished devices last? It obviously cannot last as long as a brand-new device, which means it will fall apart sooner, is that not the case?


That's the reason to seek out trustworthy refurbishers and assess the device's initial build quality. Reputable refurbishers go the extra mile by either replacing or refurbishing essential components, ensuring the device functions well and enjoys an extended lifespan.

Then another important question arises: how can one identify a reliable refurbisher? Huh

I can't make assumptions where OP lives. In my country there are quite some dealers who trade with refurbished business laptops or leasing returns.

You're absolutely right, this kind of business with refurbished business laptops is quite common worldwide. While affordability and durability are key advantages, ensuring the security of these devices remains a crucial consideration for me.
16  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Parmanode - Open Source, easy Bitcoin node for desktop computers (Mac/Linux) on: October 10, 2023, 06:03:55 AM
Parmanode is designed for non-technical users giving them the ability to download and verify Bitcoin related software, and sync using an external or internal drive, and also have configuration options presented to them with automation. No manual configuration file editing will be required - Parmanode takes care of all that in the background.

Non-technical-user-friendly, sounds interesting. This approach simplifies the process of setting up and maintaining a Bitcoin node on a Mac, making it more accessible to a wider audience.

Why must people do things like this?

Here is my cheap solution buy a used laptop that allows a ssd to be put inside of it.


Your response broadened my perspective on this issue, and I appreciate your suggestion. It's indeed worth considering purchasing a used laptop with a suitable SSD, and your detailed considerations provide valuable guidance. Thank you for your helpful input!

BIP32 is the Bitcoin Improvement Proposal that introduced HD wallets. This document is highly technical but contains detailed information on the structure and functioning of HD wallets.

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all those who take the time to offer their assistance and insights.
20  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Operate Bitcoin Core on a laptop with restricted storage capacity on: September 22, 2023, 02:09:33 AM
Are there some recommended approaches for running Bitcoin Core on a laptop with constrained storage capacity? Is it possible to use an external hard drive as the data directory (datadir)? How does this setup work, and would I need to pay attention to?

Thank you in advance to everyone who responds to this question.
