fillippone made a good thread answering your question: There are 2^256 private keys out there: how big is that number?

Sorry I may be asking so many questions at once, but I am having a rush of related thoughts amd just had to share it for us to learn.
How much do you love bitcoins? But think about it, what kind of situation do you think can push you into stopping to hold bitcoins and invest more in it? please share your episode.
Has your love for Bitcoin surpassed your love for country? If your government threatens arrest for anyone found to still be involved in bitcoins, are you willing to go to jail even if it is just for a day?
Will you be willing to relocate from your country to another region if the environment becomes unsafe for people like you who have invested in bitcoins?

If you had money that you had already planned to DCA into bitcoins and a close family member or friend with a pressing financial need comes up to you to ask you for some financial help, will you be willing to skip your DCA plans and help them? How should we react in such a situation.
Too big fear when you want to make an investment will make you lose the opportunity to reach the stage of financial freedom. While other people have been going so far for investment problems in Bitcoin as long as they have the ability to buy. Investment in Bitcoin can be run anonymously and no one knows if you can keep it a secret and most importantly the security that needs to be improved. Moving other countries is not easy because we cannot get citizenship easily, except only moving as people who do not settle and there are many arrangements that we must pay for permission to live there.

Simple because we live not always to rely on investment but sensitive to the environment around the surrounding is also needed let alone related to helping family members. The purchase process using DCA can be applied in accordance with financial capabilities and if for the planned week cannot be purchased then we can take the opportunity in the following week.

This is not really any different from a lot of the BTMs (Bitcoin ATMs) out there. They print you a private key which you can later scan. Although I don't see why would this attract any users at all? Especially for someone who lives there since exchanges are easily accessible, and much cheaper.
Yea this is true but don`t forget people also may just try things like this just for the experience especially when it fosters crypto adoption and this is still the reason few still use these Bitcoin ATMs.

I've used a Bitcoin ATM many times before and still do from time to time, but honestly I've never used one that prints a private key. Instead, they send cryptocurrency directly to your wallet address.

OmegaStarScream is right. Exchanges are generally cheaper and easier to use, especially if you're already comfortable with them. But, this "kiosk" thing does have some advantages. Anonymity is one, for example. You don't need to go through KYC (Know Your Customer) procedures for smaller purchases, at least where I live. And, some companies offer promotional periods with fee discounts, so buying or selling can sometimes be even cheaper than on online exchanges. For instance, Bitomat.com (formerly Shitcoins.club) currently has a 0% commission promotion for sales in Bulgaria, Croatia, and Slovenia. link to Bitomat blog

You'll never find a randomly generated funded wallet.

Feel free to try for yourself: every time you create a new Electrum wallet, it checks 25 addresses for you.

Appreciate the responses, vjudeu, thank you.

Does help me to understand a bit more on the behaviour of nodes, and how Core isn't actually the Core I'm assuming (though for practical purposes probably they all do the same thing). And confirms somewhat my thoughts on Core being more dev than user friendly. Not sure that will ever change, though I feel it is important if we want to expand diversity in node operators too (or is it?).

Overall omewhat gives me a bit more context about the topic, though I feel still, I don't have quite enough to answer "why client diversity isn't an issue for Bitcoin"!

Cursory web searches don't throw up much at me, though the 2010 value overflow appears (to me, at least) an example of how a lack of client diversity in Bitcoin could lead to network failure.

I think you didn't find this page, https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Common_Vulnerabilities_and_Exposures.

Does seem to further back the case or need for client diversity though, no? =)

...but if you're talking about the probability of finding a wallet with balance or someone else wallet is 1% out of 100 percent which is more like impossible.
It is much less than that. 1% out of a hundred means on one hundred tries you are likely to get an active wallet on one occasion. The odds are far lesser than that even with the most sophisticated tools which most hackers do not have.

given the number of active wallets at 12 words, it may be possible to come across an active wallet? I have a friend who came across several active wallets? so to say that it will be the end of the universe, not too much
You should go and read up more about generation of private keys. Your friend did not come across several active wallets and it is impossible to generate an active wallet.

After reading the description I thought it's something similar to Phoenix wallet that allowed users to send and receive funds on LN instantly without creating our own channel but no this is just another conventional mobile wallet for bitcoin. I didn't download it but the UI looks refreshing with contrasting bright colours but I have been using electrum for years and also have unstoppable so I don't want to complicate it further, maybe in future it can be useful for me

Thanks for sharing, it's good to know that one more open source wallet for bitcoin is available on mobile platform.

One problem I see is that your input script should be pushing the block height to the stack and anything else is extra and ignored. You are pushing the address to the stack here which is not needed.

Another problem is in your output. Your only output is missing the script. This is where you should use your address (the corresponding script).
Additionally since nowadays blocks contain transactions with witness, your Coinbase tx must have at least one OP_RETURN output containing the witness merkle root hash. Read more here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0141.mediawiki#commitment-structure

Another thing that is not a problem if you are just testing stuff is that you shouldn't hardcode block reward like "3.125 * 10**8". Instead you should compute it based on block height and sum of fees of the txs in the block.

https://mempool.space/block/0000000000000000000201fa665f016252f14dcd84877ca244a44f197830a910
only one txid to solve block 4aeda5a0f2159f448f7c23b75c62233320cbe9895af0d6f43139baea97c991b2

I know how to mine to solve blocks, but before, how to make my own txid like this 4aeda5a0f2159f448f7c23b75c62233320cbe9895af0d6f43139baea97c991b2

my_addr         ='1ASzaPvnM5BM2HE5VF1VCgkwX6yUWvJTvW'
block_reward = ' '              # how to get correct block reward value
block_height  = 848117  # example
Any_additional_imperfection inside raw txid ??


Can you make python code for the current structure for the coinbase transaction miner? using
I speak a little bit of English.

Bitcoin reflects a notable shift in how value is perceived and stored in the modern economy. Bitcoin market capitalization has surpassed that of the world three largest banks , highlighting the cryptocurrency strong future, rapid growth, growing impact on global finance.
But the fact that the value of Bitcoin is increasing is not something to be happy about . Every bank has its own constraints, rules within which it has to operate. But in the case of Bitcoin, this catchment barrier has no rules and no obligations.  It can be given to people of all countries who have internet and android mobile connectivity. So Bitcoin has much more reach than a single bank or a centralized bank. But all these bitcoins are held by a small number of people .
Bitcoin will increase in value and become more accessible as people all over the world start accepting it.
