What's the verdict on Newbie hbqchjy?

1st post is 100% AI, but second one is giving me mixed results (combination of AI and human inputs) so I am not sure but he is using 'em dash' so 

Your 2014 Acer Aspire E5-411 (2GB RAM + 500GB HDD) is too weak for a smooth full node in 2026—Bitcoin blockchain is ~500-600GB+ now (growing ~100-150GB/year), initial sync would crawl forever on that old HDD/CPU, and 2GB RAM will likely OOM during IBD.
Realistic answers:

Hardware: Won't really work well. Upgrade to at least 8GB RAM (if possible) and use the external 1TB as SSD if you can (HDD sync = days/weeks of pain). Better: get a cheap used mini-PC/RPi 5 with 8GB+ RAM + SSD. External drive helps for storage, but speed matters more than size.
Full vs Pruned: Go pruned (-prune=550 or higher) unless you want to serve full archival data. Full node verifies everything once (during sync), pruned discards old blocks after, uses ~7-10GB + chainstate. Benefits of full: you help network more (serve blocks), can audit history fully. Pruned is fine for personal validation/privacy.
Linux distro for beginner: Ubuntu Server LTS (24.04 or latest) — dead simple, huge community, Bitcoin Core in repos or easy PPA. Avoid desktop flavors if headless. Debian stable is rock-solid too but slightly more conservative.
Tor? Not necessary, but recommended for privacy (hides your IP from peers). Easy: add onlynet=onion or use Tor proxy in bitcoin.conf. Many run without and it's fine.

Start with pruned mode on Ubuntu, use external drive for datadir. Great first step—run it pruned, learn as you go. If sync dies, consider Umbrel or RaspiBolt guides for easier setup on better hardware. You've got this! 🚀

He is probably doing that. I merited his OP because it didn't struck me as AI generated but didn't check at the time. That OP is 100% AI generated according to GPTzero and Copyleaks, only 31% according to Quillbot. Anyway, I am going to put him on my ignore list and to tag him as well.

Bitcoin as a right-wing / elite economic trap
I don’t see Bitcoin as a neutral technology. I see it as a political and economic project that ultimately benefits right-wing ideology and financial elites while misleading ordinary people into thinking it’s a tool for liberation.
Here’s why:
1. It promotes radical individualism, not collective solutions.
Bitcoin is built on the idea that people should opt out of public systems entirely — public banking, public regulation, public accountability. That lines up perfectly with right-wing and libertarian ideology, which opposes social programs, taxation, and collective responsibility. It doesn’t strengthen society; it weakens shared institutions.
2. It shifts power from democratic systems to unaccountable private actors.
Instead of decisions being made through public policy, Bitcoin concentrates influence in the hands of miners, early adopters, whales, and private exchanges — none of whom are democratically accountable. That’s not decentralization in practice; that’s privatization with a tech label.
3. It creates the illusion of economic freedom while reproducing inequality.
Early insiders became extremely wealthy. Latecomers are encouraged to “buy in” with the hope of future gains, while taking on most of the risk. That mirrors classic speculative bubbles — wealth flows upward, risk flows downward.
4. It distracts from real, structural economic reform.
Instead of fighting for fair taxation, strong public services, worker protections, and accountable financial systems, people are encouraged to believe a piece of software will magically fix capitalism. That narrative weakens political pressure for real change — which benefits those already at the top.
Conclusion:
Bitcoin doesn’t challenge power — it reroutes it. It doesn’t democratize wealth — it reshuffles it upward. And it doesn’t fix broken economic systems — it provides an escape hatch for people who would rather abandon them than improve them.
That’s why I reject the idea that Bitcoin is progressive, liberating, or left-leaning. I see it as a tool that ultimately serves private power, not the public good.

Has Bitcoin Become All Right-Wing?

Bitcoin was born as a decentralized alternative to centralized banking systems — a way for individuals to hold and transfer value without government oversight or interference. Its roots lie in libertarian ideals, appealing to anyone skeptical of state power — left, right, or neither. But today, a strange new political narrative has taken shape: has Bitcoin become the darling of the right wing?

Prominent right-wing figures like Donald Trump and Canada’s Pierre Poilievre have loudly embraced Bitcoin, often tying it to populist ideas of “freedom” from government control and anti-central bank rhetoric. Trump has even begun promoting his own crypto-themed NFTs and memecoins. In the U.S. and abroad, Bitcoin is increasingly framed as a political tool by conservative movements — especially those leaning toward the radical right — to push back against what they claim are overreaches by the state and globalist institutions.

This shift raises the question: is Bitcoin inherently right-wing now?

Not necessarily. The technology itself hasn’t changed. Bitcoin’s appeal as a decentralized store of value, resistant to censorship, remains relevant across the political spectrum. For left-wing advocates, the promise of financial autonomy, transparency, and resistance to corporate banking power still aligns with broader anti-capitalist or democratic socialist goals.

The louder voices may simply be coming from the right. Crypto is still in its “Wild West” era — volatile, unregulated, and chaotic — which naturally draws in political extremes and opportunists. But the ideological battle for Bitcoin is far from over. Whether it tilts permanently toward one side may depend less on the code and more on who shows up to shape the narrative.

I was just seeing my old posts where I saw a reply to my post, by Alpen who replied me on a post of mine. I got suspicous seeing his reply and decided to run a check unfortunately for him he turned out to be a Ai shitposter.

1.

Everyone waits for 'New Year miracles,' but those expectations are often just wishful thinking. What we really need are concrete goals and proven models.

Throughout last year, I watched the explosion of new stablecoins from various developers and even traditional finance firms. This gave me a simple arbitrage idea: capturing a 0.1% spread on trades where both assets are nominally pegged to the USD.

I’ve already battle-tested this on Cryptomus using USDT pairs and even wrote an arbitrage bot for it. In the new year, I plan to scale this strategy to other stablecoins with better margins. If I can reach a 1% daily return, it will be a massive success.

As I see it, your parents' main issue is that they are poor judges of character. If that’s the case, business might not be for them. In this world, losing funds like that is essentially natural selection.

However, with the rise of AI agents, we might soon be able to remove the 'human factor' from business entirely.

Back to crypto: keeping funds on a CEX is just as risky as using a DEX. Look at the recent Binance case — their developers designed the non-custodial wallet so 'efficiently' that it sent seed phrases directly to a scammer's server.

Personally, I split my trust 50/50 between 'new faces' and proven services. With newcomers like Cryptomus, I get advanced, cutting-edge features. With legacy ones like MetaMask, I get time-tested quasi-reliability. I’ve moved almost everything off old exchanges, except for Poloniex — mostly because I’m just too lazy to switch

The core problem is this: you still need regular money (fiat) to buy crypto, which forces you onto exchanges and through their KYC checks. But I really don't want my wallets to be de-anonymized, where just anyone could look up how much I'm holding. These days, it seems like everyone is tracking blockchain transactions.

You can break the trail of your transfers by using a coin mixer. But I don't want to accidentally receive coins that were stolen by, say, North Korean hackers. That would land my wallet on the blacklist of nearly every exchange and trading platform.

This is where using Monero (XMR) starts to make sense. I can buy XMR legitimately on Kraken or through a gateway like Cryptomus. Those transfers are still untraceable because of how Monero's transactions are built for privacy.

So my question is, what's the next step? Which decentralized exchanges (DEXs) are reliable for swapping XMR into the cryptocurrency I actually want?

flapduck,
You are absolutely correct — a bare Merkle root in OP_RETURN is only a commitment, not a full security model.
The Planetary Computer solves data availability and independent verification exactly the same way Bitcoin itself solved it in 2009:
1.  Full state is carried by the swarm
Every FPGA node stores the complete current state (FLOP balances, RWA commitments, active bitstream registry). The state is small — less than 100 MB even at 1 million nodes — because FLOP tokens are soul-bound and RWA proofs are zero-knowledge.
2.  The Bitcoin anchor is a fraud-proof trigger, not a data layer
The OP_RETURN commitment is published by any node. If a dishonest majority tries to publish a false root, any single honest node can broadcast the correct state + Merkle proof off-chain (Nostr, torrent, etc.) and the community will reject the false anchor. The dishonest chain loses monetary premium immediately.
3.  No trusted off-chain actor
There is no single publisher. Thousands of nodes compete to include the correct root. The first honest miner to include it wins the small TIME reward. This is the same economic game theory that secures Bitcoin block inclusion.
4.  Reorg resistance
Because FLOP tokens burn on downtime and are location-locked, a malicious reorg of the swarm state would require physically controlling >51% of global FPGA hardware — the same hardness as a Bitcoin 51% attack, but geographically distributed.
In short: Bitcoin provides the ultimate timestamp and economic finality. The swarm provides data availability and consensus. Neither trusts the other — they mutually secure each other.
The full state machine and verification rules will be in the genesis code release (after the first 1 000 nodes and first anchor).
Thank you for the sharp question. This is exactly the level of scrutiny the design requires.

ABCbits,

Thank you for the feedback.

1. On centralised AI censoring Bitcoin tools  
You are right that the immediate pressure would fall on the developers or companies behind the tools.  
But the deeper risk is that cutting-edge AI models themselves become the bottleneck.  
Today, the best code assistants, trading algorithms, on-chain analytics, and even wallet UX improvements rely on large language/vision models that are all controlled by a handful of corporations.  
If those corporations are forced (or choose) to refuse service to Bitcoin-related prompts — or if governments mandate “responsible AI” filters that block certain topics — the entire ecosystem loses access to state-of-the-art intelligence overnight.  
We have already seen early signs: certain models refuse to discuss Bitcoin scripting tricks, mixer designs, or privacy tools.  
A decentralized swarm removes that single point of failure and gives the Bitcoin community its own independent intelligence layer.
I think having an independent artificial intelligence layer not only helps to maintain balance in the world, it also enables real innovation for everybody without large cooperations. Bitcoin enabled true independence for those who have their Bitcoin in self-custody. And for those operating a node or even a mining rig. Giving tools to everyone to participate in a AI world independent from all other entities gives true freedom and therefore gives also economic freedom to each and everyone. Especially if AI evolves exponentially having a FPGA based network as a backbone would help that AI could restructure logical units itself but with certain boundaries trough the blockchain anchor. I think this is crucial for our further development as decentralized community and also give balance of power.

2. On ASIC miners and dual-use compute  
You are correct — current Bitcoin ASICs can only do SHA-256 and are useless for AI workloads.  
The Planetary Computer does not attempt to repurpose existing SHA-256 ASICs.  
Instead, it targets  field-programmable gate arrays(FPGAs) — reconfigurable hardware that can run both useful AI workloads (INT8 matrix multiplies, transformer attention) and, in the future, alternative proof-of-work algorithms if the community ever chooses to migrate or only to further secure AI restructuring decisions on a blockchain.
Many Bitcoin miners already experiment with FPGAs for development, testing, or alternative chains.  
The swarm simply gives that hardware a permanent, high-value use case: censorship-resistant AI compute that pays in TIME tokens backed by Bitcoin collateral.

The goal is not to change Bitcoin’s PoW today, but to create a parallel, Bitcoin-anchored compute layer that strengthens the ecosystem against future centralisation risks — in energy, intelligence, and narrative.

Appreciate the sharp questions. This is exactly the discussion the design needs. Hope to get more feedback to help kick start this. I hope that some agree that this is also in the spirit of Satoshi and the early Bitcoin developers when first starting Bitcoin.

To move forward on the Planetary Computer, here is the proposed foundation for the genesis code. Feedback and contributions welcome — especially from those who understand Bitcoin’s security model.

Foundation Code Functions (What to Implement First)

1. P2P Swarm Pipeline & Syncing
   - Use libp2p-rs (Rust) for Kademlia DHT discovery + gossipsub.
   - Nodes broadcast: heartbeat (Flops/second claim), benchmark proof, state deltas.
   - Sync: On join, request full state from 10 random peers, verify against latest Bitcoin anchor.
   - Pipeline: Torrent-style for large data (models/bitstreams) via IPFS or custom magnet links.

2. Proof-of-Compute (Instead of Traditional PoW)
   - Standardized benchmark: Fixed-size INT8 matrix multiply + transformer attention layer.
   - Node runs benchmark, signs result + timestamp.
   - Peers verify signature + re-run benchmark to confirm Flops/second.
   - Hash the Swarm State Before Contribution: Every epoch, nodes hash local state + benchmark proof → include in next heartbeat. This creates a "swarm PoW" chain — dishonest state can't propagate without redoing proofs.

3. Stronger Bitcoin Binding
   - OP_RETURN Anchors: Every epoch (~24h), nodes compete to broadcast Merkle root of (state + all proofs) in OP_RETURN. First honest miner wins small satoshi fee (paid via Lightning to hotkey).
   - Covenant-Lite Collateral (Native Script): Use OP_CLTV only — lock BTC with absolute timelock (5-10 years). Fraud proof = pre-signed transaction spending to bounty address.
   - Drivechains-Inspired Fraud Proofs: If false anchor detected, any node broadcasts correcting data off-chain (Nostr/torrent). Community rejects false chain — monetary premium flows to honest swarm.
   - Future-Proof: Design for OP_CTV or TXHASH when activated — but v0 works with current Bitcoin.

What's the verdict on Newbie Foxworld?

           Governments around the world continue to debate how to regulate cryptocurrency. Some welcome it and see it as a step toward innovation, while others fear its potential for misuse and want strict control. As Bitcoin grows in popularity, will governments eventually accept it as part of the financial system, or will they try to limit its use? How do you think regulation will affect the price, adoption, and future of Bitcoin? This is an important discussion because regulation can either support or slow down the entire crypto industry.

What's the verdict on Newbie Foxworld?

Thank you for sharing this your explanation makes a lot of sense. I agree that Bitcoin has already embedded itself into the global financial system long before governments even understood what it was. It really is something they can’t fully control anymore, only regulate around the edges.

     What you mentioned about regulation being a form of acknowledgment is very true. In some ways it gives legitimacy and makes traditional institutions pay attention. But I also share your concern that the more regulated the space becomes, the further it moves away from Bitcoin’s original vision of decentralization and open access. It’s ironic that the services aligned with Bitcoin’s core philosophy—like non-KYC platforms or decentralized exchanges are now the ones struggling the most.

     It makes me wonder: as Bitcoin continues to grow, do you think it’s possible for the ecosystem to balance both compliance and decentralization? Or will the industry eventually split into two separate worlds the regulated, institutional version and the more cypherpunk, privacy-focused side?

As the first weekend of 2026 kicks off, the crypto market is settling into a calm but constructive phase. Bitcoin continues to trade in the $88,000–$90,000 range, signaling consolidation after the holiday slowdown. This range-bound movement suggests the market is digesting recent gains while waiting for the next macro or on-chain catalyst to define direction.

Ethereum is also holding firm above $3,000, maintaining strength as the leading smart-contract network. At the same time, meme assets like PEPE and other community-driven tokens remain active, posting higher volatility and volume than the broader market — a reminder that risk appetite is still present beneath the surface.

On the activity side, BingX’s Weekly Featured Trading Championship (Phase V) is currently live, running from Dec 29, 2025 to Jan 5, 2026 (UTC+0). The event features spot trading across selected pairs such as PIEVERSE/USDT, ZKP/USDT, METEORA/USDT, and others, with 80,000 USDT in rewards distributed based on trading volume. It adds an extra layer of engagement for traders navigating this consolidation phase.

Overall, this weekend reflects the tone of the early 2026 market:
Bitcoin holding its ground, altcoins rotating, memes staying lively, and structured trading events keeping participation high. A market that isn’t rushing but clearly staying alert.

At some point in my trading journey, I had to admit something to myself: trading without structure is no different from gambling.

Like many people, I initially approached trading with the hope of quick returns. A few wins made it feel easy, until losses started coming without clear reasons. That’s when it became obvious that trading isn’t a shortcut to wealth; it’s a business that requires the same discipline as any other profession.

Every market crypto, forex, or stocks operates on structure. Without understanding risk management, position sizing, and market behavior, consistency is almost impossible. Once I shifted my focus to learning, testing strategies on live markets, and reviewing results, my mindset changed from chasing profits to building sustainability.

Another lesson I learned the hard way is that the choice of exchange matters. As a crypto futures trader, moving to BingX made my trading process more organized. Instead of pushing reckless leverage, the platform emphasizes tools that help traders manage risk isolated and cross margin options, visible liquidation levels, and straightforward TP/SL execution. The availability of demo trading and copy trading also helped me observe how experienced traders approach the market in real time.

Trading will always involve risk, and no platform removes that reality. However, using an exchange that prioritizes structure, transparency, and learning makes a significant difference in long-term survival.

I’d be interested to hear how others here approach trading what worked for you, and what lessons cost you the most to learn?

On-chain liquidity indicators for BTC$BTC are showing the first signs of recovery, according to data from Swissblock Bitcoin Vector Lite.

Historically, shifts in liquidity, the blue leading signal on the chart - tend to precede price movements by 10–14 days. After weeks of capital outflows and tight liquidity conditions, this uptick could mark the beginning of a reversal phase.

At the time of analysis, BTC trades around $103.5K, with market participants watching closely for confirmation.

If liquidity continues to expand, it may trigger the next leg of price recovery - just as it did in mid-2024 and early 2025.

More added few AI Post:

Over the last few years, I’ve been watching something really frustrating happen to the crypto space—especially Bitcoin. What started as a movement built around decentralization, financial autonomy, transparency, and real technological innovation has been twisted into something almost unrecognizable.
And honestly, a big part of the damage came during the Trump era.
Once Trump and a wave of right-wing opportunists realized they could use crypto culture as a marketing tool, the whole space turned into a circus. Meme coins, pump-and-dump communities, questionable “patriot tokens,” and endless grifts started popping up everywhere. Instead of genuine experts, we got “influencers” and self-appointed gurus claiming crypto knowledge simply because they backed Trump politically.
Then it got even worse—reports of people with no real blockchain background being treated as “crypto experts” around the White House. That gave an official veneer to people who were basically salesmen, not technologists. When you politicize something like crypto, you strip away the neutrality and open-access ethos that made it powerful in the first place....................

Question to the Crypto Community:

Have we been deceived about the true purpose of the crypto space?
For years, many have speculated about the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto—the mysterious creator of Bitcoin. What if this person (or group) was never the benevolent innovator we were led to believe? What if, instead, Bitcoin was designed as a tool for global manipulation—an elaborate scheme to consolidate power, undermine democracy, and ultimately enslave people under a new financial order?
In recent years, we’ve witnessed an alarming rise of radical right-wing influence in crypto. Today, the space is overrun with scams—99% of projects are fraudulent, from ICOs and NFTs to meme coins—designed not for decentralization, but as a means to extract more fiat currency. This contradicts the original vision of Bitcoin and raises the question: Was this the plan all along?
Governments and powerful institutions have increasingly entered the crypto space, not to empower people, but to guide them toward predatory schemes. Crypto, once seen as a path to financial freedom, is now being weaponized to deepen economic enslavement—driving people into debt and ensuring they remain prisoners of a collapsing system..........................

For years, Bitcoin halving has been widely perceived as a bullish event because it reduces the issuance of new supply. However, there is one side effect that I think is not discussed deeply enough: the potential increase in mining centralization after each halving.

After the most recent halving, block rewards were cut by 50% while miners’ operational costs—especially electricity and hardware—remained the same. This situation creates several consequences:

⸻

1. Small miners struggle to survive

Small-scale miners often use older equipment, face higher electricity costs, and lack economies of scale. With the reduced block reward, their profit margins become extremely thin or even negative.

As a result, small miners tend to:
   •   Shut down their operations,
   •   Sell their rigs at low prices,
   •   Or join larger mining pools for more stable income.

This reduces the diversity of independent miners across the network.

⸻

2. Large mining pools gain increasing dominance

Big mining pools have clear advantages:
   •   Access to cheaper electricity (renewable sources, industrial contracts),
   •   Data center infrastructure,
   •   The ability to upgrade ASIC hardware much faster.

Because of this, a large portion of the network’s hashrate gradually shifts to these big players.
The fewer entities controlling significant hashrate, the higher the risk of centralization.

⸻

3. Coordination risks and attacks become more realistic

Mining centralization does not mean Bitcoin becomes insecure overnight, but it introduces several theoretical risks:
   •   A 51% attack becomes easier in principle,
   •   Consensus rules could potentially be influenced by a powerful minority,
   •   Users become increasingly dependent on a handful of entities to secure the network.

This goes against Bitcoin’s original vision as a decentralized and permissionless system.

⸻

4. Are there any solutions?

In my opinion, several approaches might help mitigate this issue:
   •   Cheaper energy innovations (flare gas mining, hydro mining) to support small miners
   •   More energy-efficient ASICs that lower cost per hash
   •   Non-custodial mining pools and Stratum v2 adoption
   •   Diversification of energy sources in developing countries to create fairer competition

But not all of these solutions are easy to implement in the short term.

⸻

Conclusion

Halving is essential for controlling Bitcoin’s inflation, but its impact on the mining ecosystem deserves continuous discussion. I believe mining centralization is a long-term risk that is often underestimated.

What do you think? Will Bitcoin remain secure even as mining becomes more centralized, or is this a serious threat to its long-term integrity?

I would really like to hear perspectives from miners, developers, and other users in this forum.

I think the discussion around what makes someone a “Bitcoiner” often gets stuck between two extremes: those who think merely holding is enough, and those who insist that you must constantly transact or contribute to the ecosystem. Personally, I see it a bit differently.

Holding Bitcoin is a starting point, not an endpoint.
Owning some sats means you’ve taken the first step — but it doesn’t automatically mean you understand the principles that make Bitcoin valuable in the first place. A lot of people hold Bitcoin without adopting any of the mindset or practices that keep the network strong: self-custody, avoiding custodial risk, learning how the protocol works, or even understanding why Bitcoin was created.

On the other hand, I don’t think being a Bitcoiner requires you to be a developer, run a node, or make transactions every day. Not everyone has the same technical background or the same use cases.

For me, a Bitcoiner is someone who actively embraces the philosophy behind Bitcoin:
– taking responsibility for their own keys
– understanding the importance of decentralization
– rejecting unnecessary trust in third parties
– and recognizing Bitcoin as more than just a speculative asset.

If someone holds Bitcoin but keeps everything on custodial platforms, never thinks about the underlying principles, and treats it only like a lottery ticket, then yes — they’re just a user, not necessarily a Bitcoiner.

So I’d say: holding may make you a participant, but mindset and practice are what make you a Bitcoiner.

Many people enter Bitcoin with good intentions, but end up losing funds
not because of scams alone, but due to basic mistakes.

From what I’ve observed, some common mistakes new users make are:
- Keeping all funds on exchanges for long periods
- Not backing up seed phrases properly
- Downloading fake wallets or clicking phishing links
- Sending transactions without understanding fees or confirmations

Bitcoin gives full financial control, but that also means full responsibility.

In your experience:
- Which mistake causes the most losses for beginners?
- What is the first security habit every new Bitcoin user should learn?

Hopefully this discussion can help newcomers avoid costly errors.

I think both sides are partly right here.

Crypto gambling isn’t automatically a scam but it does amplify risks because speed, anonymity and weak regulation remove safety nets that traditional systems rely on.

The real problem isn’t “crypto” itself but lack of transparency: unclear withdrawal rules, inconsistent support, and platforms that only work smoothly until something goes wrong.

Well-established platforms with clear terms, predictable withdrawals and active dispute handling are very different from fly-by-night sites that disappear after deposits.
Users should focus less on bonuses or speed claims and more on long-term consistency and how issues are handled under pressure.

I don’t think TOS are a “hidden house edge” in the mathematical sense but they do create an information asymmetry. Most players don’t read or fully understand clauses around limits, bonus eligibility or internal reviews until after something goes wrong. At that point, the casino has all the leverage.

In many disputes, the issue isn’t that the rules were broken intentionally but that they’re written broadly enough to be enforced selectively, often only once volume or winnings increase. So it’s less about gamblers ignoring rules and more about transparency and predictability. Clear limits upfront reduce friction. Vague clauses create it.

Delays aren’t always intentional in the sense of “we want the player to lose again” but they’re rarely accidental either.

What usually happens is that payouts are smooth at low volumes, then friction appears once amounts cross internal thresholds. That’s when manual reviews, source-of-funds checks or retroactive KYC get triggered.

The issue for players isn’t the existence of checks, it’s when they’re introduced. Doing it only after a big win makes it feel punitive, even if it’s technically allowed.

Predictable limits and upfront transparency would prevent most of these disputes. Delays themselves aren’t the problem. Surprises are.

A junior member is spamming the technical board with AI generated posts. I am submitting all the details here. He has already been tagged by @LoyceV and @ABCbits. But now I feel his false fake posts need to be deleted.

From what you describe, the wallet isn’t actually asking for “more security data”, it’s telling you that the recovery method you selected doesn’t match your seed.
In most cases, a 12-word seed is enough on its own. If the “Next” button stays disabled, it usually means:
the wallet type or seed format is wrong, or
it expects a specific derivation path and you haven’t selected it.
Requests for things like a master key, address list, or private keys only appear in manual/advanced restore modes, not in normal seed recovery. That’s a big hint that something doesn’t line up with how the wallet was originally created.
If you’ve already recovered the original password, that’s the safest option — open the existing wallet file instead of trying to rebuild it from scratch.
Also, double-check that you’re using the same wallet software that generated the seed. Mixing wallet types is one of the most common reasons recovery fails.
Take it slow and don’t enter your seed anywhere you don’t fully trust. One wrong step can’t be undone.

Running a node on older hardware is definitely possible, but it’s good that you’re asking these questions first.
Hardware:
2GB RAM and an HDD will work, but don’t expect smooth performance. Initial sync will be slow and the system may feel sluggish. If upgrading RAM to 4GB or using an SSD (even externally) is an option, it will improve things a lot. Still, for learning purposes, your current setup is usable.
Full vs pruned node:
A pruned node still fully validates the blockchain, it just doesn’t keep all old blocks. On limited hardware, pruning makes much more sense. You get the security and learning benefits without stressing your disk and system. A full node is nice, but not essential in your case.
Linux choice:
If you’ve never used Linux before, stick to something simple and stable. Ubuntu LTS or Linux Mint are both good options. They have strong community support and plenty of guides specific to Bitcoin Core.
Tor:
Tor isn’t required, but it’s a plus for privacy and censorship resistance. I’d suggest running the node normally first, then enabling Tor later once everything is working and you’re more comfortable.
Overall, the most important thing is reliability, not raw power. A modest node that stays online and verifies its own transactions is already a meaningful contribution to the network.

This is a very solid write-up, especially the part where you separate technical impact from market-driven behavior. That distinction is usually missing from OP_RETURN discussions.
One thing I’d add is that people often underestimate how much standardness rules are social conventions rather than hard limits. As you explained, OP_RETURN was never a real gatekeeper for data; it was more of a “please do it this way if you must” signal. In that sense, removing the default limit doesn’t really open new capabilities, it just stops pretending that the limit was effective in the first place.
I also like the three-doors analogy because it highlights an uncomfortable truth: Bitcoin cannot selectively forbid “bad” uses without collateral damage. Any filter strong enough to stop arbitrary data would also break legitimate usage or push activity into even more harmful encodings. That trade-off is often ignored by people calling for simple bans.
On the economic side, I agree that fees are the real limiter. As long as blockspace is scarce and priced, mass spam is self-limiting. Short hype-driven waves are possible (as we saw with Ordinals), but they don’t change long-term incentives unless something fundamentally alters fee dynamics.
Overall, I don’t see OP_RETURN changes as encouraging spam, but rather as an attempt to steer inevitable behavior toward the least damaging path, which is a very “Bitcoin” kind of compromise.
Thanks for keeping this accessible without dumbing it down.

Has ranked up to full member and has acquired some merit, but is creating AI topics and uses a humanizer to rewrite the posts to avoid major detection. It's able to go under the radar on Copyleaks, but GPTZero and Stealthwriter still detect high traces of AI usage. Any thoughts?

If your financial accounts could speak, would they be thanking you for the security, or warning you about the future?
Our financial accounts silently document our choices. They reveal whether we are building security or postponing responsibility. Many people manage money on a short-term basis, focusing on immediate needs while leaving the future undefined.

Financial stability is not about perfection or wealth. It is about direction,habits,saving consistently, planning ahead, and understanding where your money goes and enters.This reflection is not about blame. It is about honesty. Are your finances positioned for unexpected expenses, inflation, or long-term goals? Or are they merely helping you get by?Without reflection, it is easy to confuse financial survival with financial security.

This raises an important question worth discussing:
Are our financial decisions today preparing you for tomorrow’s realities, or simply helping you cope with the present?Honest reflection can be uncomfortable, but it is often the starting point for smarter financial choices.

Not every depressed family member is a firstborn,and not every firstborn becomes depressed.But when you look closely, firstborns are often the emotional backbone and the most emotional affected of the family system.Firstborns get rules, pressure, and “be mature" query from their parents too early where their childhood.So it’s less about birth order and more about emotional role assignment.

Firstborns are statistically more likely to carry emotional weight because they Are expected to “be strong” or “set the example”,witness parental stress sooner than siblings, and suppress or deny their own needs to protect their siblings.Depression in families is rarely just personal,it’s a system.One person ends up holding the emotional debt so the rest can function.

A child’s upbringing is the foundation upon which their future is built, and parents play the most essential and critical role in shaping that foundation.Asides providing food, shelter, and education, active and sane parents nurtures a child’s emotional, social, moral, and intellectual development.Through daily interactions, discipline, and example, parents pass on values such as honesty, respect, responsibility, and empathy.

A child who grows up with a clear guidance is better equipped to make ethical decisions, even when parental supervision is absent.Parental involvement is not optional,it's crucial.A child that's raised with love, guidance, and consistent parental presence is more likely to grow into a balanced, confident, and responsible adult.

In shaping a child, parents are not just raising an individual; they are shaping the future.Parents should invest in the foundation and values they instill in their children's foundation/upbringing because well raised children contribute positively to the society and the world at large.

Could anyone check hmbdofficial? I already tagged him due to different reason, but it's possible they also spam with AI/chatbot.

This is already a well-known AI spammer, but as we can see, it still doesn't give up. Let's hope that some of the mods will release the water and flush the garbage from the forum permanently.

Both them decided to spam with AI/chatbot on board i usually visit and i just tagged them.

Unlikely, AI text is usually more structured. And none of popular AI detectors give even 10% of AI probability. Even if there was some AI used, the posts are rewritten too deeply and by human hands, so it is hardly provable.

You’re absolutely right, and you’ve made an excellent point regarding sovereignty the freedom of every individual to manage their own money without the interference of banks or governments. That is truly the core philosophy Satoshi Nakamoto envisioned when Bitcoin was created.

Because of decentralization, trust is shifted away from institutions and placed into code and mathematics. Here are a few
key aspects of the points you raised.

What decision should be taken regarding him?
