If you want to use the kinetic energy from the fans: you're wasting energy. It doesn't come for free, you have to put in more power than you take out. It's more efficient to reduce the power to the cooling fans. If you…

Addresses without transactions are easier to check in Electrum than addresses with many transactions. OP is only looking for one funded address.

There's an exception to be aware of: Electrum doesn't show the "send to pub key" balance. You could be overlooking an old 50 Bitcoin block reward.

I've tested a very fast search method before, and it works great: 1. Use the link above to get all funded Bitcoin addresses 2. Make a list of all addresses you want to check 3. Sort the lists and remove accidental…

Did you create a new address, or a new wallet? It matters when you're exposing the seed.

You've managed to post an amazing amount of BS in just a day. None of it even deserves a response.

You'll still pay for the miner, and chances are you'll never earn it back if you go solo.

At current hash rate, you'll have a 2% chance of solving a block in a year. Up to you to decide if that's worth it. I don't really believe in "free electricity": someone pays for it. And if they notice a continuous…

Kraken allows LN withdrawals. Or withdraw a low fee altcoin and go though an instant exchange to get LN.

I can buy a beer with LN, so no, it's not banned. Don't trust Binance, they'll try to trick you into accepting their own made up tokens instead of Bitcoin. They have no interest in letting you withdraw real Bitcoin.

I saw an explanation on YouTube about china's real estate bubble. They don't even finish the apartments, that would lower the value. And they have tens of millions of empty new apartments, just for the sake of…

I'm already within EU, and traveling to another country isn't very exciting. Nobody checks anything, kinda like crossing state borders within the US. Back to declaring Bitcoin at customs: if you say you travel with…

When weird things happen, I'd start by upgrading to the latest version. I doubt it helps in this case, but it's a quick check.

I guess it's not as decentralized as the name makes it sound.

One question: why?! You've corrupted your wallet.

I created a topic about a cheap pay by the hour VPS provider a couple months ago, and paid about half a dollar for a full IBD (with pruning). They're throttling CPU at that price, but it avoids being kicked off as a…

Wrong. Bandwidth has nothing to do with disk usage.

If your wallet allows you to send unconfirmed inputs and has coin control: just send those 2 inputs to one of your own addresses with about 20-30 sat/vbyte. That should be enough to confirm faster. I can't really…

It's a quad core Xeon E3-1270 V2 @ 3.50GHz. That's why I'm wondering if I did something wrong somewhere.

That's 50,000 times faster than my CPU mining! Would you be interested to try? I still have a synced testnet blockchain running, and could give you access. At low difficulty, I wonder if I made a mistake for not getting…
