- Bitcoin Donations and IRS Form 8283 QuestionsJan 31, 2026
Is there a difference in your acquisition cost to the value now? I'm wondering if they would require you to pay on the potential gain. Taxes became one of the reasons I don't transact as much as I did in the beginning.
- Capturing LN traffic using WiresharkApr 21, 2025
Hi, Thanks for all your answers. I finally solved it using a Wireshark pluguin: https://github.com/nayutaco/lightning-dissector It fails on some packets, but id does his job anyway.
- Capturing LN traffic using WiresharkApr 17, 2025
Hey everyone, I came across some info online saying that Wireshark can pick up protocol packets for Bitcoin and the Lightning Network, and they show up in the protocol column. The issue is, my Wireshark isn't tagging…
Hi. Sorry if my question wasn't clear. I mean the features that are shown when you use "describegraph" command. From LND (note that CLN show the features in a binary string format): Hope with this example this is clear.
Hey everyone, Does anyone have the scoop on what default features are active in the top three Lightning Network node implementations, like LND, C-Lightning, and Eclair? Or is there a good source where I can check out a…
Mercy! I haven't mined in years (2016) so my perspective is totally out of date *apparently that's like 100 in bitcoin years It was always as a home/hobby project so it took maxing out my houses ability, increasing…
I was bummed when Bitminter and BTC Guild shut down and they didn't even have gear of mine, it was sad to see trusted OGs go. Maybe you can sell them your hosted gear cheap or are they just going to end up with it?
Totally agree with you. Its really shocking to see people in positions of trust being part of such criminal activity.

I never found an accurate combined calculator but it's been years so maybe improvements have been made? Here is an old favorite for 2 data points https://alloscomp.com/bitcoin/calculator "Bitcoin Mining Calculator Got…
Finally it's working! There were different issues. First of all the bindings of bitcoind services must be on 0.0.0.0 if not external IP cannot connect. Also, there was a traffic filtering on the bitcoin core firewall…
After changing some config as binding to 0.0.0.0 and listening to 0.0.0.0/0 on bitcoin.conf now I get a different error:
Yes, I absolutely discard that as the issue. I think there's some network config issue on bitcoin.conf and lnd.conf files but I'm unable to see it. I've modified rpcallowip parameter to 0.0.0.0/0 but still not working…
Hey everyone, I’m having trouble getting my LND node to connect with my Core, since they're on different machines. After I unlock the wallet, LND just hangs and I can’t make any RPC calls. I keep running into this…
All what you said is possible, you can run it with a low storage capacity and you can use an external hard drive to have more capacity. If you use your first option, then you need to prune your BitcoinCore, that means…

There're tools that can help you with that. But some tips: 1. NEVER use a script that sends your seed to some web page. THEY CAN STEAL YOUR FOUNDS! 2. Don't try to program anything if you don't know how to. 3. Don't use…
- Mining setup catastropheJan 5, 2020
Oh no that's gut wrenching to see! Even though I've been out of mining for years. It's good that you have it in an out building and I'll bet you make some noteworthy improvements upon the repair. Wishing you much "luck"…
They've always done it. They just didn't used to brag about it.

Thank you! It looks like it. If anyone knows how to do it it will really help. SS
- Sniffing Traffic from Lightning Node ClientMay 5, 2017
I guess it is, for privacy and security reasons. https://github.com/lightning/bolts/blob/master/08-transport.md As far as I understand from here, it uses the node ID (a pubkey) to encrypt the traffic. SS
- Sniffing Traffic from Lightning Node ClientMay 4, 2017
Hi Dave, Thanks for your answer! Checking the link you provided, I'm only able to see configuration for the TLS certificate on RPC connections. I don't know if the node will use the same certificate, but I'm looking to…
