No, not because electricity is free. Because you are securing the network. Because you are contributing to the decentralization of bitcoin. Because you are making the network grow. Because you are putting in work (proof of work.) Because you are generating KYC free sats.
Didn’t your father ever tell you that nothing in life is free. Someone somewhere will have to pay for it. They might pay with time, with dollars, with mental ability, with physical ability, hell, they might even pay with their lives, but someone always pays the cost.
My question to you Logan… are you willing to pay for what you believe in?

I might have to walk back one of those statements. After thinking more on it.
Ocean might not take a 2% fee if you use “Bitcoin knots” and “Datum” to construct your own block template.

2024-11-22 00:38:34

- reply

Ocean has 2% fee. It used to be free, but I think that has sunset.
Luxor might’ve been the same 2 or 2.5.
I guess Luxor and Ocean are comparable on most levels.
Withdrawals are done on Luxor. Ocean doesn’t really have a withdrawal because the miner that finds the block will send every other miner their sats at the same time. Ocean only hold the sats if you don’t have many sats mined and it makes more sense to not send a small utxo.
Nicehash uses our hashing power to mine other coins not bitcoin, but pays us out in bitcoin. I haven’t used them in a while so they may have changed in the last couple of years.
Luxor and all other mining pools construct the block template. Which means they control what goes into the block if we mine it. They take custody of the block reward and we don’t get to see the split of the money. We just take their word for it. So we are paid according to their decision without a negotiation.
In the “Ocean” we get to decide what name we want to have displayed on the chain when we hit the block. (Only geeks really care about that, but I think it is super cool.) We also can add our personal transaction to the block we mine. (For cheap or free) The block rewards are paid from the coin base which means ocean doesn’t take custody. The payment goes to you directly so you get to take part if there is an increase in fees, there is an increase in your reward according to your contribution. You get to decide if you want spam and ordinals, runes etc.
So Ocean allows you to be a real bitcoin miner. A real bitcoin miner constructs block templates, and decides many other factors as well as gets paid according to the hash contribution.
.
ALL of the other pools rent your hash rate for a set fee and handles everything else.

Thanks for the reply and for all that you do.
It seems like Umbrel might not be ready for Knots and Datum. I installed Bitcoin Knots and ibd without issue. (Only 48 hours to sync.)
Electrs, lightning, and mempool all ask specifically for Bitcoin core instead of recognizing Knots on Umbrel. Tried to ssh and install. No luck.
Start 9 has no problems recognizing Knots and allowing that to be the only Bitcoin it needs to function correctly. Start 9 is my new go to for Bitcoin related nodes and Umbrel is for media, photos and files.

I’m going to agree with Ivan on this one and give a little context. Trump is innocent on this one. I’ve never been to Haiti, but the Haitians I know that live in the Dominican Republic say the same thing. Some are all Haitian some are both. They all want to live outside of Haiti. They might not say it is a shithole, but I see none of us have planned a vacation there.
As far as going back to where you came from and fix it up. That is solid advice for anyone. Right? It has to be hard work. Work that people generally don’t volunteer for.
Have you seen Candace Owens podcast in the last week or two? She shows where Obama was not born in the United States, born in Kenya, was raised as Barry Soetoro son of Lola Soetoro (step dad) in Indonesia. Had a he that identified as a she as a babysitter or house maid.
He also used to hang out and fund many many many rappers. They used to always say his name is a good light in their songs. Appeared on The Fresh Prince of Bel Air show. Wrote books with Robert Kiyosaki. There are pictures of him with Don King, Mike Tyson….. my point is that none of us know him personally. I bet he is a lot different than we know.

I apologize if it wasn’t an open discussion.
From what I know… the bitcoin address that I posted shouldn’t go anywhere. I took a real bitcoin address, deleted numbers and letters then typed them on this here. That is why all of the letters are capitalized. It won’t lead you anywhere. Theoretically it shouldn’t. So it was a joke because it won’t allow you to send anything o it.
The lightning address I copied from strike so that is real, but it doesn’t go to anything that I can take credit for.

I went to their website coinkite.com and it does not say “open source.”
In 2020 or 2021 I don’t know if it said open source then, but they did publish a manual on how to build your own cold card with firmware and hardware or something similar. (So at one point they didn’t mind giving out everything.) I hope this is correct but I heard someone say that the “passport wallet” took that Cold card diy manual and copied it then started selling their own wallet. So maybe Coinkite took steps to protect people from knowing how to break the Cold card (which I respect and support.) If any of this is incorrect please forgive me. It’s only hearsay.
In this video I have attached, NVK says just after 7:50 that the cold card “source code fully open verifiable.” Which signals that the code is open for anyone to view, check, and verify, but there might be something that is private and not shared. I would hope this is the secure element that holds your keys, codes, pins and access parameters. Since I “air gap” and don’t plug the cold card into a computer then there is no reason to not trust the secure element for my purposes. (Plus no one is calling them out like they are Pascal the Ledger CEO.)
This video was made just after Ledger had their tweet debacle that made a lot of people ditch ledger because they were changing.
1. Not open nor verifiable code.
2. They made an update that could send your private keys over the internet if you approved the send. (Not something I am willing to compromise on. No way no how! Not worth the risk.
I think this is a must watch video from begging to end.

Great question. I wouldn’t look at it as hiding.
I would think of it like I do my life. People can tell that you aren’t struggling, but they don’t need to know the details of everything. Examples: Your Bitcoin holdings and where you keep it. Is it in single sig or multi sig. Do you keep it at home in a vault or 3rd party custodian, the stocks and bonds you own, how many properties you control, different companies that you control, amount of cars, rv’s, quads etc that you hold title to or control. This is fine for a close friend or family MAYBE, but it might bring unwanted attention from the wrong people. So stack sats and stay humble.

In La Rioja Argentina, the governor created a local currency “the Chacho.”
It can be exchanged into the Argentine Pesos 1 for 1 with a 17% interest rate paid to the holder.
My question is… if the Argentine peso is being devaluated daily… wouldn’t that also devaluate the Chaco?

I think you have made the right choice. Umbrel was my first and there is a lot of flexibility with them. I installed StartOS about a week ago. They are really different in setup and apps. Umbrel was easier to setup and easier to connect to outside wallets like Zeus or Zap. I still haven’t been able to get Start to connect to an outside wallet.
I checked out the “community marketplace” on Start that someone on your post recommended. There are 19 more apps, but nothing groundbreaking.
All of that just to say Umbrel for the win.

I am in the same place except I already installed start 9. The marketplace is very limited. Let’s hope the community marketplace has some useful apps. Have you installed start 9 yet?

Hawaii was bombed (Pearl Harbor Dec. 7, 1941) because a country shut down Japan’s bank account by freezing their assets then confiscating the money. (They call it “sanctioning.”) They had no access to $ to buy goods nor oil so their people were in major need.
Fast fwd to today. Russia had its global bank account shutdown.
So we aren’t surprised that the BRICS nations are looking to stop using the global reserve currency. No one nor no country wants their bank accounts frozen. How do you live, how do you eat, how do you plan for tomorrow? You can’t.

@npub126n…e9ll I have finally made the switch and loaded the start 9 OS. I plugged the drive into a Linux machine to transfer the initial block download to it, but can’t seem to get Linux to see the drive with start 9 on it.
Is it possible to accomplish transferring the ibd onto start 9?

It is shocking and yet some would rather stay and fight rather than take their freedom technology (bitcoin) and go to a more favorable destination. One that doesn’t need to be so nosey. #note1gm7…eqkz

Michael Saylor pitched the digital id on the blockchain today at the “Bitcoin for corporations conference.” This might be interesting.
This might be the end of spam. You might have to have sats to send me an email or call me unsolicited. Among other things like having your credentials on the blockchain for verification.
I like the spam aspect. Hopefully it is being added to this.
Thank….you…..sir!

Trapped is correct. They don’t care to even hear anything other than what they have been programmed to hear and know.
How did you start to learn? Do you have a book recommendation? I have a lot of pieced together knowledge about the subject but nothing that encompasses everything.

I have been reading books/articles and watching videos on national vs citizen, private vs public etc. Not one time have I heard the definition of surname. This “system” was well planned. Even when you know how to respond to jurisdictional questions or any other question that binds you… there is another trick to put you right back into maritime admiralty law.
This is an eye opener.

I can’t say that I know charts, but I do know HODL.

Agreed, it takes a little while to scan the blockchain for everything. The funds are always there somewhere.

Did the 24 word seed phrase get generated from a Lightning node or a hardware wallet. It makes a difference. If it was generated for a Lightning node then it will not work when trying to restore to a hardware or software wallet.
If it was generated on a LN node and you are trying to restore to a LN node…Maybe the funds haven’t been confirmed on the blockchain?
