So far, bitcoin price do not fall that much on a daily basis. However, if ever it happens in the future, I wouldn’t lie I will surely be in panic, but not to the extent of thinking recklessly and sell immediately my coins at a loss. That will only make my investments worst.

But to be honest, since bitcoin is highly volatile since birth, this scenario might probably become possible any time of the day, but as long as we don’t get bothered easily and never fall into the trap, and just focus to our end goal, we will still end up successful and profitable with our bitcoin investment. I think that’s the most important thing here.

At the moment I cannot find any settings to change for electrumx that would lower the disk writes. As a temporary solution for now I'm thinking I might use an extra 2.5 inch HDD from one of my old laptops and dedicate it to just the electrumx db folder (this is where all the writes are happening) so I can keep it separate from the SSD the OS and Bitcoin Core are installed on. Obviously performance will be worse but I'm not sure it will be bad enough to really matter for me. Either that or I will use a much cheaper extra 256 GB SSD instead.

You make a really good point, and I am really excited to see how this story evolves. His war chest of 4000 BTC, who knows if he even has access to that anymore. He has been in hiding and imprisoned for so many years. I am sure he doesn't trust a single individual in this world.

it can be done in 1 second


It can be done in 1 millisecond if you hit the random seed, believe it or not.

You need to crack random.seed for each Puzzle. Here is example:


Code:
import random
import os
import time
import secp256k1 as ice

puzzle = 30
target = "d39c4704664e1deb76c9331e637564c257d68a08"
lower_range_limit = 2 ** (puzzle - 1)
upper_range_limit = (2 ** puzzle) - 1

start_time = time.time()

for x in range(10000000):
    #Random seed Config
    #constant_prefix = b''  #back to no constant
    constant_prefix = b'yx\xcb\x08\xb70l'
    prefix_length = len(constant_prefix)
    length = 8
    ending_length = length - prefix_length
    ending_bytes = os.urandom(ending_length)
    random_bytes = constant_prefix + ending_bytes
    random.seed(random_bytes)
    dec = random.randint(lower_range_limit, upper_range_limit)
    h160 = ice.privatekey_to_h160(0, True, dec).hex()
    if h160 == target:
        HEX = "%064x" % dec
        caddr = ice.privatekey_to_address(0, True, dec)
        wifc = ice.btc_pvk_to_wif(HEX)
        print(f"Puzzle: {puzzle}")
        print("Bitcoin address Compressed: " + caddr)
        print("Private Key (decimal): " + str(dec))
        print("Private key (wif) Compressed : " + wifc)
        print(f"Random seed: {random_bytes}")
        break

end_time = time.time()
execution_time_ms = (end_time - start_time) * 1000

print("Execution Time (ms):", execution_time_ms)


Puzzle: 30
Bitcoin address Compressed: 1LHtnpd8nU5VHEMkG2TMYYNUjjLc992bps
Private Key (decimal): 1033162084
Private key (wif) Compressed : KwDiBf89QgGbjEhKnhXJuH7LrciVrZi3qYjgd9M8diLSC5MyERoW
Random seed: b'yx\xcb\x08\xb70l\xf1'
Execution Time (ms): 1.9545555114746094

Over the last 24 hours it seems that Bitcoin is recovering. But a 1-month trend is indeed bearish. It doesn't mean much, as the price is still high and it's still early for the anticipated bull market anyway. Honestly, I think Bitcoin is holding up really well, considering that Bitcoin is 60% or more below the ATH most of the time, it seems.

While I was scrolling Reddit one post caught my eyes

Bitcoin is too complicated" ~US Dollar user



*you may have to download and zoom in to get in details

I just want to show this to whoever says Bitcoin technology is too complicated for a common man and then ask them to explain this which they have been using day to day and whether any of 'em got any idea what is going on behind their preferred method Cheesy
This is a great image, however it's a little confusing how the Tether stable coin is included in the chart. It would really be great if it only included fiat based systems. I guess the thing is though, as much as this chart tries to capture the complexity of the US dollar monetary system, there are so many other connections that are not covered, just because of the complexity and unknown unknowns involved.

You are helping blockchain analysis companies where you advertise yourself is a privacy oriented company is contradictory of your marketing idea and you are a scam.

You are lying, which is why you didn't attach any proof whatsoever for your statement.

A few things impacted me. I was much younger, and so my old self would blame lack of funds. However, even if I had invested $5,000 back then, that would be 20+ BTC. It wasn't lack of funds, it was mindset. I saw Bitcoin only as an investment. Something that I would buy, with the intention of selling. So I always sold. I never held. I now see Bitcoin as freedom and a hedge against the entire economic and political system. I will never sell my Bitcoin again.

By the way, does anyone know why are we 95 blocks behind?

Three options:
- 4.5cents per th/s income, end of fiscal quarter maybe some are plugging off
- heatwave in the US and miners shutting down (pool data doesn't quite match)
- bad luck (even 7.5% is not impossible just with variation)

By the way, I expect that fees will go further down because being 95 blocks behind means at some point many blocks will be mined in a row and many transactions will soon get confirmed.

Nope, highly possible we go +120 or at least just as likely as going just +60.
