I'm looking for info about blockchain.com, which has been around since 2013. I've got about 0.15 bitcoin in there and I still have the original email used to set it up. I also have the 18-word recovery phrase, but the…

I literally can't see a problem with Core. And the question about how good it is for accepting international payments, I'd say it's the whole purpose of Bitcoin. So that you don't get to pay 10% to intermediaries for an…

Answering to both of you, because the answer has common parts. In my country, every bank transaction that exceeds 500 euros triggers a flag, which is just a notification to the authorities. There are some exceptions,…

Well it's a combination. Because if it turns into a small fortune, it becomes a "warning sign" for the governments. It tells them that "this guy has become rich suddenly, let's get some of his money". It's not the…

@DireWolfM14 is right. A very good way to hide the traces is to convert to private currencies and then back to Bitcoin. Beware though, if you buy from a CEX with KYC, it doesn't matter where your coins are at any…

Absolutely, definetely! If you want to contribute, you obviously need to write code, but if you want fundamentally understand bitcoin, you need some basic knowledge in computer science, cryptography and finance. I…

Ok, so I suggest you keep the minimum amount of memory, there is no reason for anything larger. Also, take into consideration LoyceV's suggestion. A testnet Core instance will give you all the features of a mainnet…

So if you plan to have your Core as a node and connect Electrum to it, you're gonna need an electrum server, but for this you need a non-pruned node. If you wanna use it as a wallet, you can use a pruned node with the…

My convenience-oriented self would definitely agree. My privacy-oriented self still thinks Core is a good software wallet. For me the greatest disadvantage is the backup system. Core lacks an easy physical backup method…

I must have created the exact same thread in the past. I believe the general misunderstanding is whether increasing the prune size will actually re-download and restore deleted block files, or whether it will start…

So, essentially you have 2 files with the following name formats? 1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef_abcd1234-5678-90ab-cdef-1234567890ab 89ab12804fc3c42fbaa117c9aaa01d9d_abcd1234-5678-90ab-cdef-1234567890ab Are the files…

I have wallet with Blockchain.com I lost password but have seed so can I recover my bitcoin through use this because I never try before this with anything but today after reading this I have some hope of having my…

The thing is, not only they control the infrastructure, but there may be legal issues that arise. I mean, I guess nobody has a full, clear picture of the legislation around cloud-computer usage. Bitcoin is free…

What do you guys generally think about running nodes on Azure (or any cloud)? Don't you think it's bad? Am I the only one? I mean, why run a node on computer that doesn't belong to you? Obviously you control the…

I guess my observation was just an isolated event. I tried 3 more transactions in the exact same way and it worked flawlessly! I should lock the thread now! Thanks for the responses!

Hi Loyce, no I've checked that. Is it perhaps because of my VPN? I checked with my VPN turned off, and it has the same issue, that's why I'm kinda confuzed. Not a huge deal,

Hey everyone, I just picked up a new laptop for my day-to-day stuff and installed Bitcoin Core, running it as a pruned node. I signed a transaction using my offline Bitcoin Core node. After that, I moved the PSBT to my…

Very good suggestions indeed but I have a question: Your uncle was a tech savvy person, based on what you said above. However, do you have any knowledge whether he was involved in Bitcoin? Have you ever had a…

The difference is big because it's like 60% of the original dataset. I don't really know if it's unlikely, because doing time-related calculations is not my specialty. But, in my opinion it's worth knowing how many…

So you have 50 words scattered on a piece of paper and you want to find the correct 12 ones in the correct order. This gives you 50!/(50-12)! = 58,150,627,116,341,760,000 total permutations. You need 1 out of them.
