- How do you protect your Bitcoin Core wallet?Jun 19, 2026
You would have multiple backups in your home, so the disaster scenario would need to happen (one that physically wipes all possible stuff that you have stored in your house, that is, a massive storm, fire, flooding, or…
- How do you protect your Bitcoin Core wallet?Jun 16, 2026
You can store them without any real references as to what it does. Just have a bunch of passwords with no context or other context. I like to think extreme situations where someone access your password manager file or…
- How do you protect your Bitcoin Core wallet?Jun 15, 2026
From what im seeing this feature has not been pursued further, so I will assume that it's not worth the risks associated with ditching the wallet.dat file in hopes that the seed scheme method does not screw up things. I…
- How do you protect your Bitcoin Core wallet?Jun 9, 2026
If you want to use your BTC in another country and you refuse to have online backups, you will be carrying your wallet. People have reported getting forced to decrypt on some checkouts and they make full copies of your…
- How do you protect your Bitcoin Core wallet?Jun 6, 2026
If you're using wallets like Electrum with BIP39 support, you can easily recreate your wallet anywhere by just remembering those 12 seed words. But for me, I prefer Bitcoin Core as my wallet. It feels way more reliable…
I'm looking to run an older version of Bitcoin Core from 2013 alongside my regular Bitcoin Knots 28 setup, which has the full blockchain all downloaded and validated (that took a ton of effort). So I'm wondering how to…
- Questions about signature mixersApr 23, 2026
You can keep records taking screenshots, and archiving webpages too I guess. However, the problem remains: The taxman may not enjoy that you promoted mixers, considering the bad rep they have nowadays, increasingly bad…
- Questions about signature mixersApr 22, 2026
But let's say you cannot do this until after the 1st when all ulrs will be redacted with some wordfilter, what then? There may also be a lot of people that find old wallets, look around and find they got them from sign…
- Questions about signature mixersApr 19, 2026
With everything happening lately, I'm curious about how the past promotions for mixers will be viewed now. Like, when we do our taxes and try to convert earnings from these mixer campaigns into cash, what happens if the…
- No price hikes yet from US tariffsOct 17, 2025
A lot of the tariffs have been backpeddled by team Trump by a long margin, so the initial tariffs that were being priced in stopped being priced in and that is why the markets recovered. Tariffs for now may not be…
- The conspiracy of Iranian Bitcoin minersAug 25, 2025
I would like to know that. I thought you could see the hashrate somewhere in real time but all reports seem to have days of lag and so the chart is seem to be made off single daily points.. probably some average or…
- The conspiracy of Iranian Bitcoin minersAug 24, 2025
There's this theory floating around that Iran's been mining Bitcoin. Recently, we noticed a huge drop in hashrate when the bombings started. Reports say there was about a 27% drop in hashrate over the weekend. Not sure…
- Should Coin Control be a default feature?Aug 6, 2025
Yeah, you can screw up real bad when it comes to privacy. Even if you are separating non-KYC with KYC wallets, you may just not want to tie 2 different addresses that are both non-KYC or KYC. So you are going to need…
- Should Coin Control be a default feature?Aug 6, 2025
Well, in my opinion that is overkill compared to Coin Control. I think anyone should be able to understand the concept of, you are want to move this, this, and this coin into another address or various addresses in the…
- Should Coin Control be a default feature?Aug 6, 2025
Yeah I guess you could just use a separate wallet for non-KYC coins and have another wallet for KYC'd coins. But back then Bitcoin Core did not have multi wallet support. I have no updated yet (im still using an old…
- Should Coin Control be a default feature?Aug 1, 2025
Coin Control is honestly one of the top features in Bitcoin Core for me, and it's a big reason why I prefer this wallet over others. Aside from the fact that it’s super well-reviewed and reliable, it’s kinda strange…
- Anyone actually hit a block solo mining?Jul 29, 2025
But you can earn small pieces of a block? I don't remember. I mined altcoins like 10 years ago. Now that you mention it, yes I think with pools, you didn't need to fill the entire block and you got a gain? or you were…
- Compiling Bitcoin Core on Debian 12Jul 26, 2025
Has anyone done a full install from scratch with Debian recently? I would like to have full disk encryption but their prompt on the menu is weird and confusing. It asks two times for passwords. I remember watching a…
- Anyone actually hit a block solo mining?Jul 25, 2025
I've noticed that solo mining is getting some hype again with the new gear from Bitaxe and others, but I'm curious about the actual chances of making a profit. If anyone here in a western country is using those machines…
- Compiling Bitcoin Core on Debian 12Jul 25, 2025
I'm planning to compile the latest Bitcoin Core version from scratch on Debian 12. I'll be using the complete ISO that claims to have extra libraries, which you can find on their site with the name…
