I don’t see any reason why adjusting fees couldn’t be automated depending on the specific circumstances. If a lot of BTC is required to earn from running a LN node, perhaps a reasonable interest amount should be charged…

Thats interesting. I wonder if some people are closing channels (or not closing channels) based on fees on various routes. If there is competition offering free routes, it might not be worth it to tie up bitcoin, but…

When your channel becomes unbalanced, you can reduce the fees on the unbalanced side so that you will receive transactions on the side that has a low balance. You can also use dynamic pricing so that as one side gets…

If the OP needs to check thousands of addresses, using control/command F is probably not a viable solution. The OP could parse both LoyceV's list of funded addresses and his own list of canidate addresses, convert both…

I know that you are just posting to increase your post count for your sig deal...but the OP is looking for a dataset from 2012. There were many operators of bitcoin-related businesses back then that, at best, were…

Interesting research topic. Nodes come online and go offline all the time, so the same node may send two transactions, and they may propagate differently, and those transactions may show up in your dataset as coming…

Blockchain.info was not connected to every node, so in most cases, the IP address was not the IP address of the node that sent the transaction. Full nodes have never connected to other nodes based on which nodes are…

Ahh gotcha. This is not how Bitcoin works. The Bitcoin protocol requires that for a transaction to be confirmed, it must be included in a block. I am unable to think of a scenario in which what you describe could be…

I am not sure what 'IBD' means in your post, but I will respond to what I understand about your response. Anyone running knots will need to download all transactions that are valid and are included in a block. So if a…

From what I understand, nothing really changed with the update to v30 -- at least in regard to the core/knots debate. The debate caught the attention of some when v30 of bitcoin core and knots were released because…

I wouldn't go as far as to think that he actually acts upon his public "predictions". In the end, the dude's job is to entertain people in television — with the guise of "educating".

He's been a meme for countertrading for a while now; and when the meme blew up, people actually started doing the inverse of what he's saying — slowly but surely making this "strategy" nonviable. He's still a clown tho.

The SEC is not going to receive anything. Terraform has few assets and debt that has priority over the SEC far exceeding its assets.

The headline is inaccurate, as is the statement made by the SEC lawyer that was in the article. Terraform Labs is in bankruptcy, has close to zero assets, and its liabilities far exceed its assets. The SEC will become a…

I am more of a dog person myself. I am strongly against this. Invalidating UTXOs that are 'spam' will eventually lead to invalidating UTXOs that are 'ilegal', and after several iterations, will lead to invalidating…

Bitcoin does not currently use zero-knowledge proofs. And I am not aware of how this could possibly be implemented without a hard fork.

Pruned nodes do not censor anything. They are unable to assist with (most of) the downloading of the blockchain when a node first starts up. That is not quite the same thing as what knots does. Someone connecting to a…

I'm not sure if that is him or not. But nowadays, the blue 'verified' checkmark means whoever is behind the account is paying for a 'premium' subscription service, and for most platforms, the user's identity has not…

I am not sure that is correct. My understanding is that a trademark holder can take action to prevent someone from confusing potential customers into thinking a product is similar to the trademark holder's brand. So if…

Users of the blockchain.info web wallet can use this guide to export their private keys to another wallet that supports CPFP, or that can otherwise attempt a double spend once it is sufficiently likely that nodes have…
