Electrum protocol is rich enough for regular user. But for advance user, API which return statistic data would be useful. Few example,
1. Average block time within last X blocks (such as 36, 144 or 2016).
2. Total transaction size on mempool.

Looking at "Bitcoin Technical Support" board alone, there are few people who have problem setting full node (with/without additional software which rely on Bitcoin Core). As a geek i would do it myself, but few people would be interested with your service (after all, there's 3rd party to configure/host BTCpay server). maybe even an LN explorer if software for that exists.
It's exist, but there aren't many obvious usage for regular user. site:github.com lightning network explorer

Both firmware and software (Tangem Tap, Tangem Development Kit, etc.) are propriety. Additionally, there's no documentation, FAQ or guide so i'd wait for proper review. |

Since the meaning of "centralization" is vague, IMO topology of LN network isn't centralized (star/extended star topology), but unevenly distributed (partially connected mesh network). |

According to release notes on their GitHub, it's more than reproducible build on Android. # Release 4.1.3 - (June 16, 2021)
* Builds/binaries:
- Android: the binaries (APKs) should now be reproducible (#7263)
- AppImage: fix some startup issues by including libxcb deps (#7198)
* Lightning:
- smarter LN pathfinding (if trampoline is disabled):
- estimate liquidity in channels using previous attempts (#7152)
- consider inflight HTLCs and try to route around them (#7292)
- bugfix: add more safety checks to avoid "batch RBF" feature
merging LN funding txs (#7298)
- remove HTLC value upper limit of ~42 mBTC (#7328)
- Kivy GUI: implement freezing LN channels (11bb39ee)
* imported wallets: when enabling the "Use change addresses" option,
change will now be sent to a random unused imported address. (#7330)
As before, by default, change is sent back to the "from address".
* seed generation: make sure newly created electrum seeds don't have
correct bip39 checksum by chance (#6001)
* other minor fixes
One thing i find interesting is making sure Electrum seed can't be valid BIP39 seed. |

I'm a little bit confused here, aren't we contradicting ourselves if we're to advice tax be paid on the signature payout we received on the forum. Isn't the whole philosophy on the forum is 'signature campaign aren't job and shouldn't be considered as a source of income'.
Does government care about forum user philosophy? Especially if you join signature campaign on early days where Bitcoin price was very low (4 digit in USD or less). |

Then why amount is shows up ?
There are 2 possible reason that i know, 1. Your Bitcoin Core isn't fully synced, which makes the wallet unaware the input already used 2. Bitcoin Core didn't update your wallet properly. Running command "rescanblockchain" can solve this problem. |

I opened Tor Browser today and saw this message. Tor is ending its support for version 2 (v2) Onion Services, and v2 onion sites have since been deprecated. If you're a site administrator, upgrade to a v3 onion service immediately. Learn moreAdditionally, according to their blog mention this. Tor Browser will stop supporting version 2 onion services later this year.
So when will ChipMixer move to v3 onion service? |

So is it safe to accept this cookies and yet my phone is safe? (I always think anything that track information on my broswer makes me not to have privacy)
Privacy and security are 2 different thing. Accepting privacy reduce your privacy, not your security. I don't know browser you use, but some browsers have option to reject 3rd party cookies and addons/extension to automatically delete cookies after you leave the website (obviously the addons/extension have whitelist/blacklist). |

If you want to run a block explorer but don't want to get into setting up a database or learning how, there are some "nodes in a box" out there that have them. All you need is some bandwidth, the available storage space and a computer that can run a base VM and you can install some of them. Others work on a RPi https://www.mynodebtc.com/ is one of the more popular ones. -Dave Since i've tried myNode in past, you still need to learn to setting up something (although it's easier). Few examples (if you use myNode on VM), 1. Enable CPU virtualization on BIOS. 2. Configure VirtualBox to connect myNode with your USB external HDD/SSD. 3. Other optional stuff which mentioned on guide page ( https://www.mynodebtc.com/guides). |

this way the energy consumption also scales up with adoption, something that is far less the case at the moment, as consumption can not drop below a very high level even with no usage.
No usage? When was the last time that the number of unconfirmed transactions remained below 1000 transactions for more than 10 minutes? Bitcoin energy consumption scales up with the exchange rate of bitcoin. The exchange rate scales up with demand for Bitcoin. What I meant was that even if nobody is using the BTC network for transactions (not likely, to be sure, but bear with me for a moment) then the energy consumption of this network would still be enormous as it is idly standing by as (while some measure of) mining occurs. It would be far more ideal if the energy consumption scales as much as possible with transaction volume. I get the point, but actually there's no correlation between average TPS (transaction per second) and energy consumption to mine Bitcoin. It's possible to have few miners (which means low energy consumption), while Bitcoin have big block size limit (which allow higher TPS) and vice versa. |

TLDR, yes. Taproot is soft fork where only require majority of miner and some full node to upgrade their full node software. Rather not go thru the hassle of having to upgrade to a newer Electrum because then I need to upgrade the dependanices and those I also need to verify to make sure they are not tampered with so I rather just leave everything as is. I'm old school. Would it not be possible to just use the AppImage's?  These already include the appropriate dependancies etc... so, then you would just need to verify the AppImage itself, which is a relatively simple task given that they are digitally signed like the other installers/binaries. If the OS is too old, even AppImage might not work. See Qt_5_PRIVATE_API not defined in libQt5Gui.so.5 with 4.1.2-x86_64.AppImage to refresh your memory. P.S. i mention this because Electrun 3.0.X between November 1st, 2017 and Feb 3, 2018. |

Pre-taproot nodes (and miners) will not relay or mine taproot spends.
I forget the detail of backward compatibility, so i'll just ask it. Why pre-taproot won't relay taproot-transaction? Is it because the transaction missing witness and the (empty ?) script automatically treated as valid script? |

In this case, who can create the block and include all transaction/smart contract (assuming blockchain is used)?

Making a watch-only wallet in my phone would solve this... but am I not leaking addresses that I watch to my lightweight client just the same way i would leak to a block explorer?
Yes, unless the watch-only wallet uses BIP 157 compact block filter. I don't know if there are any mobile wallet support it, so the real option is host your own full node/server and force the watch-only wallet connect to your full node/server. |

While i want to see more privacy features and privacy layers on Bitcoin, the problem mentioned on the news can't be solved by technology. The proposal will be applied to any legal business/service which uses cryptocurrency. For this case, lobbying to make regularization about cryptocurrency less strict is more practical.
As for improving Bitcoin privacy/anonymity from technological side, other member already mention it. However, i doubt it'll be implemented since it'll increase burden on Bitcoin node while Bitcoin community still think 1 MB 4M weight units block size limit is sufficient and reject past proposal which increase block size limit.

Congratulation, the website looks good and i didn't see any ads  . I made an archive at Wayback Machine as anniversary/commemoration (i'm not sure if it's correct term). I read few article and you always mention the original information source. You might want to add link to the archive website like this. A website. ( original, archive) |
