I know I have Bitcoin block 2

TL;DR: you claim to have mined the second Bitcoin block, just 1 minute after satoshi mined the first Bitcoin block. I've seen time-wasters here, usually after they bought a fake wallet, but this is a new level.

and the corresponding required signature to prove ownership.

Great. Sign a message, and I'll apologize for calling this fake and drop 42 Merits on your post.

Hi )   
Give me a couple of merits, and I'll sign you everything you want )  ::)The second block a minute after the first could only be made by Satoshi Nakamoto 

I have no words for this kind of post. From a community trust point and merit rules, merit begging is allowed?

A Step-by-Step Guide to Safely Sweeping the Blackcoin Key
--snip--
Step 2: Obtain Verification Software.

On an online machine, navigate to the official GitHub repository for a universal paper wallet generator like walletgenerator.net or bitaddress.org. Download the entire project as a ZIP file.  

Transfer this ZIP file to the offline machine via the USB stick. Unzip it. This will provide a local index.html file that can be opened in a browser without an internet connection.
--sno

1. Both walletgenerator.net or bitaddress.org does not support coin called blackcoin.
2. walletgenerator.net is known scam website, see walletgeneratordotnet scam Paper wallet generation scam.

4.  Run the following command, replacing `"your-recovered-password"` with the actual password you recovered. Keep the quotation marks if your password contains spaces or special characters.
    

Code:

    python btcrecover.py --wallet-file wallet.aes.json --password "your-recovered-password"
    

Step 4: Run BTCRecover
Done\! Now you can run `btcrecover` without errors. The exact command depends on your wallet, but an example for a Bitcoin Core wallet with a password list would be:

Code:

python btcrecover.py --wallet "wallet.dat" --passwordlist "passwords.txt"

Here is the correct command:

Code:

python btcrecover.py --wallet-file wallet.aes.json --dump-wallet wallet_decrypted.txt --correct-wallet-password "your-recovered-password"

Step 4: The Final Command for Path A
After placing the correct `wallet.aes.json` file in the right folder, use a command like this to try a password list (assuming you created a file named `passwords.txt`):

Code:

python btcrecover.py --wallet wallet.aes.json --passwordlist passwords.txt

Note that we use `--wallet`, not `--wallet-file`.

2. Run the "Dump Wallet" Command:
Open your terminal or command prompt in the `btcrecover` folder and run the following command. Replace `"YOUR_CORRECT_PASSWORD"` with your actual wallet password.

Code:

python btcrecover.py --wallet wallet.aes.json --dump-wallet decrypted_contents.txt --correct-wallet-password "YOUR_CORRECT_PASSWORD"

1. Someone else noticed inconsistency on provided command.

The golden question now is: What to do now?

Haven't you noticed already?
The inconsistencies in the command/arg that it has given you and the way it corrects itself?

2. Looking at https://github.com/3rdIteration/btcrecover/blob/master/btcrecover/btcrpass.py, both --password and --wallet-file argument aren't exist. That means he's giving invalid command.

List of post:

This looks like a classic case where Node.js hits its memory limits during long runtimes without a restart.Maybe it would be worth considering moving part of the explorer to a different runtime like handling the backend in Python and letting the frontend pull JSON from a cache instead.

Yes, I suggested moving only the backend part the part doing repeated RPC calls into Python not rewriting the entire explorer.

The idea is:
Keep the existing frontend
Replace or supplement the backend with a Python script that periodically fetches RPC data and stores it in a local cache.
Let the frontend pull from that lightweight cache instead of making live RPC calls every time
This could eliminate the memory bloat in Node.js from repeated RPC calls and long runtimes.
If you don’t want to do that, at least make sure to run Node.js with an increased memory limit
node max-old-space-size=8192 ./bin/www

1. Suggesting to rewrite  BTC-RPC explorer isn't realistic suggestion, especially when the one who asked question doens't mention he's a programmer.
2. Even if he only suggest to rewrite the backend, i expect the frontend need to changed as well since it'll communicate with different backend.

FYI, the btc m4 14 label is most likely an old blockchain.com userdefined tag added through verified message signing nothing to do with Satoshi. These addresses show classic exchange transactional volume. Use tools like walletexplorer to check clustering and ownership patterns.

List of post:

You're on the right track.

Step-by-Step:

1. Check the Private Key Format:

- Uncompressed WIF: 5HueCGU8rMjxEXxiPuD5BDu... (starts with 5)
- Compressed WIF: Kx... or Lx...
If it starts with 5, it's uncompressed.

2. Two Methods to Recover Funds
You have two main options:

Method 1: Importing to Electrum (Manual Way)
Instead of sweeping, you can import the private key by creating a "watch-only" wallet and then converting it to a full wallet.
Here’s how:
1. Open Electrum.
2. Click "File" > "New/Restore" to create a new wallet.
3. Name the wallet.
4. Choose "Use a master key".
5. Instead of a seed phrase, paste your WIF private key (starting with 5).


Electrum will NOT sweep uncompressed keys but will accept them in wallet creation.
If Electrum says it’s invalid, your key might be:
- Corrupted (typos or extra whitespace)
- Encrypted (check the file carefully)

Method 2: Use a Site or Tool That Accepts Uncompressed Keys
Some tools can import uncompressed private keys directly:

Option A: BitAddress.org (Offline Mode)
1. Download the HTML file from bitaddress.org (open-source, verify via GitHub if unsure).
2. Run it offline (for security).
3. Click Wallet Details tab.
4. Paste your WIF Private Key.
5. It shows:
    - The public address
    - The compressed/uncompressed public keys
    - And lets you verify if there are coins.

Check if coins are on the uncompressed address, as this is what matters.
If yes, you can get the private key in the right format or send them elsewhere.

Method 3: Bitcoin Core (Slow but Sure)
You can install Bitcoin Core, let it fully sync (can take days), then:
1. Run the console (under Tools).
2. Run:
importprivkey "YourWIFKey"
3.
Then it’ll scan and let you use/send the coins once synced.
This takes time, but works with all valid WIF keys, including uncompressed ones.

Recommendations

- Use Electrum + direct import if it lets you.
- If that fails, use bitaddress.org (offline) to confirm balance.
- As a last resort, use Bitcoin Core.

* If you can share the public address (not the private key!), I can help check balance/status

Security Reminder
Never paste your WIF key on any online tool unless it’s offline and verified (e.g., bitaddress.org run from a disconnected device). If you want help analyzing it safely, we can use offline tools.

What is the btc reward?

1. You cannot WIF to Electrum by choosing  "Use a master key". Here are screenshot from my device, where Electrum won't let me click "Next".



2. importprivkey on Bitcoin Core only supported when using non-descriptor wallet format. That format have been deprecated and will not be supported in future version of Bitcoin Core.

The createwallet RPC will no longer create legacy (BDB) wallets when setting descriptors=false without also providing the -deprecatedrpc=create_bdb option. This is because the legacy wallet is being deprecated in a future release. (#28597)

3. Bitaddres.org doesn't have feature to verify address from entered private key contain any coins.

There are other false/fake information that i don't bother mention it. After creating this post, user @nc50lc also pointed out wrong information of his post on https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5551828.msg65630933#msg65630933.

This is unhelpful since the code is about speed benchmark, but @pbies asked about code to create burn address.

I advise you not to use older versions, even if they reduce internet usage slightly, because they will make the download and synchronization process slower. At the same time, I suggest switching to a better internet connection

Stating older version (of Bitcoin Core) may reduce internet usage, while stating it'll make download slower is contradictive without additional explanation.

Thanks, in my country power isn't steady coming from the main supply. Check about Nigeria power supply and you'll see my point.  I'm also from the same country as the OP of that thread, so my reply points to him directly

The only way power is very constant for you for a period of time is if you're using generator or solar. So whenever you're not using the above mentioned, there's a possibility it goes off at anytime without notification and that's what I mean by sensing a possibility of power loss.

I don't think this was off-topic to the discussion, I only validated your point with more elaboration from my knowledge. Also it was still in line with the question OP asked about pruned synchronization.

It appears that your wallet address has been compromised. If your Pi is transferable, it is at risk of being stolen.
Based on this experience, your wallet has likely been hacked, and your coins are vulnerable to scams.

The  solution is to :
Go to your pi browser and click on the wallet
Generate a new wallet address.
 Securely store your key phrases (write them down or save them in a secure location).

 You can also enable fingerprint authentication for added security
Lastly, do away with your first wallet and start to make use of new wallet generated keys.

1. For additional context, this is reply to someone who asked about Bitcoin private key where the thread is on Bitcoin parent board. So suggesting to use Pi browser (which is product of altcoin called Pi/Pi Network) is totally unhelpful.
2. Pi/Pi Network itself have many red flags. Some of them stated on PI Network! A huge trap[Warning!].

Someone asked me if someone can mine Bitcoin as other cryptocurrencies. I initially said no, but the person seems to be curious; he further askedif it used to be like other cryptocurrencies. I told him I was not sure about it. I have to find out as a learner.

I did little research about it.

According to the research, one could mine Bitcoin easily before, but it used to be by desktop or laptop, not with an Android phone, as people used to mine other cryptocurrencies like Pi.

But now it is very complex.

Bitcoin mining requires high energy and the use of special hardware known as ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits), and Bitcoin uses a very strong algorithm (SHA 256) that needs high powered computers to solve complex puzzles and very difficult mathematical problems. According to my findings.

Even powerful laptops and phones cannot mine Bitcoin effectively anymore, talk less of phones.

It has turned into an industrial level operation thing. Although,

There were suggestions that if one wants to earn bitcoin, there are various sites where one can register and begin to earn coins through watching ads, completing surveys, clicking links, etc.

https://active-miner dot com/app/auth/login

Cointiply – https://cointiply dot com

Timebucks – https://timebucks dot com

BTCClicks – https://btcclicks dot com

I know most of us are not sure if we were asked this kind of question. I wish to acknowledge to us that Bitcoin mining is complex compared to other cryptocurrencies but cannot be done with a phone like other cryptocurrencies but can be earned by playing games, clicking on links, or through Bitcoin faucet sites. K

1. active-miner dot com is a cloud mining, where cloud mining is generally scam. I visited few page of their website, but i didn't find proof that they actually own ASIC and mining facility.
2. Pi/Pi network doesn't actually perform mining (as in Proof of Work or performing computation).

To unlock my wallet?

If you forget your wallet passphrase. However, it matters how the wallet is structured to access it using key:

1. Private Key: If you have the private key associated with the wallet, you can access the funds directly using the key, bypassing the need for the use of passphrase. This can only be possible if your wallet allows the import of private key

2. Seed Phrase: If the wallet was created with a seed phrase (mnemonic), the seed can sometimes also be used to recover the wallet. Depending on the application, the seed phrase may or may not be encrypted with the passphrase.

3. Encryption: If the wallet is encrypted with a passphrase, you would still need that passphrase to decrypt it, even if you have the wallet's private key.

If you only have the private key and the wallet is not encrypted, you should be able to access your Bitcoin. But if the  wallet is encrypted with a passphrase and you don't remember the passphrase, recovering the wallet becomes much more difficult without it, even if you remember the wallet key.

1. If you already have private key, you don't have to deal with encrypted wallet.
2. Seed phrase always can be used to recover your wallet/Bitcoin, unless you miswrote it or the wallet generate invalid seed phrase.
3. Passphrase for seed phrase (BIP 39 ones) isn't used to perform encryption.

not true theres tons of new projects out there this year alone that are doing very well this is just the beginning of the industry

Which one is not true? Having a clone version of Bitcoin with the same feature? Why would I go invest in that new project without a unique feature?
Anyone can create a clone version of BTC, but the problem is if you think deeply, why would people use that coin if it works just like BTC? No use case?
Have you noticed most of the GPU mining these days? They are dying compared to BTC.
Look at some scammers; they use pump.fun to create a useless token to scam anyone.

For sure budding a clone version of bitcoin is a wrong decision because it doesn’t have any additional benefits or new features.

For anyone looking to create a custom crypto currency, I think drafting a new ideas, different features and a pattern for potential success that will attract investors is essential.

To avoid being scam tgat I’d the reason why I don’t invest in other coin other than bitcoin because bitcoin is the most trusted crypto currency even tho sometimes during altcoin season investment in altcoin to buy and sell is somehow beneficial.

Generally off-topic/unhelpful since the topic is about someone who ask whether they should use Bitcoin or create their own coin for their self hosted (?) AI project.

I am still learning the basics of Bitcoin, so I don’t know a lot yet, but I am really interested in understanding more about profitable Bitcoin mining equipment.
I’ve heard that mining can be a serious investment and that the right equipment makes a big difference. Could anyone share to me , what kind of hardware or mining setup is actually worth looking into for mining Bitcoin today?

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions! I am here to learn.

How Mining Works Transactions are collected → e.g., when someone sends Bitcoin. Miners compete → to solve the mathematical puzzle of that block. First to solve adds the block → and gets rewarded with Bitcoin. The block is shared across the network → so everyone agrees it’s valid. Miner’s Rewards Block Reward → New Bitcoins generated (halves every 4 years, called halving). Transaction Fees  Small fees from each transaction.  Why is it Difficult? Very high competition (miners worldwide compete at once). Mining machines are expensive, and electricity cost is huge. Difficulty level keeps increasing over time harder to earn Bitcoin. In short: Bitcoin mining is the process of using computers to solve mathematical puzzles, verify transactions, and earn new Bitcoin as a reward.

1. This is unhelpful, since @Rashid-X only ask for good mining hardware/setup.
2. His explanation mix how mining works and how transaction included on block. But it lacks details.

This thread clearly posted on wrong board.

1. This is unhelpful, since the thread ask whether PyWallet is good software to recover lost/deleted Bitcoin wallet file.
2. The one who created the thread never ask how to create wallet using Electrum.

1. This thread clearly posted on wrong board, since it also talk about mining altcoin.
2. Token typically isn't mined.

List of post:

When Trust Wallet shows "withdrawing initiated," it means your transaction has already been broadcast but is still waiting for blockchain confirmations. This is not a network issue from your mobile.

Here are a few things you should do:

Copy the Transaction ID (TXID) from your withdrawal and check it on a Bitcoin blockchain explorer (e.g., mempool.space or blockchain.com).

If you see it there, your transaction is valid but pending confirmations. Sometimes this happens if the network fee you used was too low.

In such cases, you just need to wait until miners confirm it. It might take longer depending on the network congestion.

If the transaction is not visible on the blockchain explorer, then you should contact Trust Wallet support because it means the transaction was not broadcast properly.

So don’t panic — check the TXID first. If it exists, your BTC is safe; it’s just waiting for confirmation.

1. If your Bitcoin TX take too long to get confirmed, you could use RBF or CPFP approach rather than merely waiting.
2. Another user have posted what's wrong with this reply.

When Trust Wallet shows "withdrawing initiated," it means your transaction has already been broadcast but is still waiting for blockchain confirmations.

Problem is, the screenshots in the OP neither show that message.
In his last reply, it appears that it didn't get broadcasted in TrustWallet, he did successfully made a transaction using Blue Wallet though.

Here's a quote for reference and his current question that we're figuring out:

I have successfully made withdrawal from bluewallet, I noticed that, inputting the value to be withdrawn in USD got the app to force stop, so I input the values in Bitcoin which went successful. Why that?

That’s a very valid concern, and it often comes up whenever we discuss Bitcoin’s long-term sustainability. The good thing is that Bitcoin’s design already accounts for fluctuations in mining profitability through the difficulty adjustment mechanism. Every two weeks (roughly 2016 blocks), the network adjusts mining difficulty based on the hashrate. If miners leave and the hashrate drops, blocks become easier to mine, which restores profitability and incentivizes miners to return.

This self-correcting system ensures that Bitcoin continues producing blocks on average every 10 minutes, regardless of short-term miner participation. In addition, as block subsidies gradually decrease, the network will shift to being secured primarily by transaction fees. This creates a sustainable incentive for miners even in a low-subsidy environment.

Of course, short-term shocks — like sudden energy price spikes or government crackdowns — can cause temporary hashrate drops, but historically the network has always recovered. That resilience is one of Bitcoin’s strongest features.

So to answer the question: Yes, even if mining becomes less profitable and some miners exit, Bitcoin remains secure because of its built-in difficulty adjustment and evolving fee market. The system was designed to adapt to exactly these conditions.

Difficulty adjustment happens every 2016 rather than "roughly 2016 blocks". It's not every two weeks, but roughly two weeks assuming hashrate remain same in past 2016 blocks.

List of post:

Now the bank could build its own mempool, and only include chosen transactions. These get added to the chain when it finds a block. It may not matter if this takes a week or more in some cases. This possibility could become significant as the block reward decreases. could this lead to other miners rejecting the new block, and continuing to try to build on the previous block?

Every mining pool has somewhat an individual mempool. But frankly what is the economical incentive to cherry pick only certain transactions for your block template when this doesn't give the maximum transaction fees of a possible next block to be mined?

As long as the newly found block is valid other miners should accept this new block and numbercrunch on the next block based on that last new block. Anything else doesn't make sense from the game theory of Bitcoin.

This was just my thinking, many miners check their mempool for profitable transaction and take it to their candidate block for hashing, but the network at times just randomly choose which transaction to be hash either the high fee transaction or lesser but this case happens once a while, not that common.
So when a new transaction has been successfully hash then it will be distributed to other nodes then will now be added to the blockchain.

could this lead to other miners rejecting the new block, and continuing to try to build on the previous block?

And about miners rejecting new blocks and continuing with the previous block that definitely nope, miners will accept the transaction and add it to their block as long as the hashing was valid and if they choose to rejects then they might likely miss out the block rewards at the long run.

1. Bitcoin network can't force/make miner choose randomly chosen TX to be included in a block.
2. Miners do more than check whether the hash of a block is valid, the block and all transaction itself mustn't violate Bitcoin protocol. For example, doesn't claim mining reward more than expected or double-spend UTXO.

Newbie Amaye Edwin Banned! fits this topic:

Let no one be confused am the solution here, if you want to send Bitcoin back to your sender using cryptocurrency exchange. Open your cryptocurrency exchange account and move to the Bitcoin section.
If the sender sent the Bitcoin through exchange, you may need to have his or her exchange deposit address. After which you have done that initiate withdrawal and enter the senders Bitcoin address, ensure you enter the specific Bitcoin amount you want to send to your sender. Then review your transaction details(the senders address, amount you want to send) click on confirm and the transaction will be done successfully. Very easy and simple right?

It doesn't add anything to the subject. I really hate Newbies trying to earn Merit by shitposting on the tech boards.

[nutildah]

Going to mention this guy here for a proper tag:

Liocen

A pure merit farmer account, probably the 10th account started by the same person. They were a self-professed newbie in July but are now summarizing complicated Bitcoin script ideas with what I suspect is purposefully-mangled AI text.

In an effort to control and make Bitcoin transactions more secure, developers have created a script called Covenant Script. Covenant Script is a scripting concept that can restrict the future use of Bitcoin’s UTXO (Unspent Transaction Output).
Normally, when you send Bitcoin, that output can be spent by anyone in a future transaction — if they provide the correct signature.
But with Covenant, you can say:
“This output can only be spent in the future on this specific script, or this specific type of output.”
Thus, Covenant imposes a “rule” or “condition” that controls the natural free flow of Bitcoin.

Although Covenant scripts (such as the OP_CHECKTEMPLATEVERIFY, OP_CAT, or OP_TXHASH proposed codes) enable a new generation of scaling and privacy tools such as Ark, Vault, and Channel Factory,
some people are still hesitant to use them due to their risks or controversial aspects.

They explain the following conclusions about its risks_
▫️ Since Covenant allows anyone to create scripts that force transactions to be sent to specific addresses or conditions.
This allows governments or large organizations to create policy-enforced address lists and apply “whitelists/blacklists”.
If Covenant is used incorrectly, the fungibility and independence of Bitcoin can be damaged.
▫️ If Covenant is designed incorrectly, “recursive” or repetitive covenants can be created —
that is, a Covenant will continue to impose the Covenant on subsequent UTXOs, acting as a kind of self-propagating script.
Unexpected script loops can be created in the network,
node verification can become complicated,
even “locked output” (stale coins) can be created on the blockchain.
▫️ Using Covenants makes some transaction patterns “predictable” —
such as Ark or Vault transactions having to be in a specific format.
Although this increases privacy, analysts will be able to identify Covenant-type outputs.
▫️Every new Opcode or Covenant type change means adding new rules to the consensus layer.
If all nodes or miners do not agree, then a chain split (soft fork contention) can occur.

As pointed out by Satofan44:

If Covenant is used incorrectly, the fungibility and independence of Bitcoin can be damaged.

This is nonsense and not a valid concern. The government and organizations already do this. Private companies can also do this. The way it is done is by centralized methods. All covenants would do is improve all of these existing methods, that are already used, and make them decentralized.

▫️ If Covenant is designed incorrectly, “recursive” or repetitive covenants can be created —
that is, a Covenant will continue to impose the Covenant on subsequent UTXOs, acting as a kind of self-propagating script.

If any upgrade is designed incorrectly it can cause small to catastrophic issues, this is not something that is convenant specific.

Covenant Script Modern Upgrade or New Vulnerability Door? We would like your valuable opinion on this.

Don't ask LLMs like ChatGPT about advanced subjects like this. They respond with generic concerns with have many flaws if analyzed well, they hallucinate all the time. Stop relying on them.

The emdashes are a big giveaway that AI was used in the creation of the post. But the edits they made to avoid detection render the post largely unreadable. And obviously its not totally AI because AI wouldn't write something this stupid:

So is Covenant dangerous?
Not at all, Covenant itself is not dangerous,
But it is dangerous if the user uses it dangerously.

And I kind wonder who "we" is:

Covenant Script Modern Upgrade or New Vulnerability Door? We would like your valuable opinion on this.

This was their excuse:

Satofan44, I don't know if you considered my post as given by AI. But I read some recent articles about Covenant Script where various people mentioned various positive and ethical aspects. In that case, I also observed deeply and realized that the matter is not a concern at all but it has played a major role in the proper management of money management. There are many people in our forum who are much more knowledgeable than many on this subject. I only presented my own thoughts to get their opinions so that if I am wrong somewhere, I can correct them. If you think that these are created by AI (ChatGpt), then you can check. nutildah sir, you may have given me Neutral Trust based on this opinion of Satofan44 but I never prepared this post of mine by ChatGpt.

Its hard to read this without thinking you're having some kind of stroke. He didn't really say anything other than "this is my opinion."

To @Liocen: stop making new accounts. You are so concerned with getting merits and ranking up that you have neglected to learn pretty much anything about Bitcoin. Nobody is going to be impressed if you take something AI wrote for you and change the wording, grammar and punctuation so much that its barely understandable, especially not in the Dev & Tech Discussion board. It is obvious this isn't your own text, please stop lying.
