Very nice review, from what I've heard from people trying to start a mining operation in Africa mostly they were struggling with issues like high crime, political instability, corruption and unstable power supply.…
Update: quantum rabbit hole just shipped. Two attacks, two scales. Shor's algorithm breaks ECDSA/Schnorr given a sufficiently powerful quantum computer, the existential piece. Grover's algorithm halves SHA-256's…
Update: seed-backup chapter just shipped. Rabbit hole #8. 12 words is your wallet. Lose them and you lose your bitcoin. The chapter walks the threat-model-first menu - paper, metal, passphrase, Shamir, multisig; with…
Thanks Much Appreciated!
Quick update: first animated entry just landed in the glossary. Multisig. 35-second animation walks 2-of-3 end to end - setup (three different makers, threshold of two), normal spend (two signatures, broadcast), loss…
Update: mempool chapter just shipped. Rabbit hole #7. Bitcoin wants you to cut in line. The mempool isn't a queue - every node has its own, transactions sort by fee rate (sat/vB), and the highest bid confirms first.…

Quick update on the relaunch + what's shipped, what's coming Thanks to everyone who weighed in on the launch thread. A few things actioned, a few on the roadmap. Done: Replaced "nuke" jargon per Dogedegen's…
Appreciate that hd49728 That an excellent point and I had not considered it. To be candid the site we launched in Feb fell flat, this is a full redesign and conceptually very different so I felt it warranted a new…
Thank you for the feedback, very happy to have it. I went ahead and made this change you suggested, had not occurred to me, I credited you in the commit coment...…
Edit: Looks like the post I was replying to got deleted, but they were good questions so will let the answers stand... Thank you for the very thoughtful and encouraging feedback alexmorgandev! Journey chapters and…
So, I'm quietly launching the revamped LearnBitcoin.com today. It's a soft launch and I'm looking for some real feedback. The previous version was an old Drupal course platform that just wasn't cutting it, so I decided…
- Looking for alternatives to PaxfulApr 13, 2026
Hey everyone, I’m on the hunt for some Paxful alternatives. They stopped operating in my state, so I gotta find a decent substitute. If you have any suggestions, hit me up. I’m located in California, USA.
- S19XP Written OffMar 14, 2026
Well, what did you expect? Like many other manufacturers they're trying to earn and save as much as they possibly can. You could also try to find a used hashboard on our local classifieds website or on ebay. Labor is…

First, would be nice to know where in EUR you're residing as local laws in many EU countries may differ. In many (most) countries there's a maximum non-taxable amount of around 40k EUR. I believe your bills will be…
- Miners Need to Rethink High Transaction FeesOct 8, 2025
Because there are none left haha! Not only have I seen/heard from any big-blockers lately, I'm not even sure Bitcoin Trash still exists (well apparently it does). But who uses it? What is at least single real-world use…
- Miners Need to Rethink High Transaction FeesOct 5, 2025
I believe this is not because of the miners that increase the mining fee but the people that make the transaction fees increased because people just increase their transaction fees to get their transaction got confirmed…
If I will turn off prune mode then I import privkeys and then I would to load blockchain and rescan that. Would I see history and able to see balance of the wallet after whole that steps?
- Importing private keys with a pruned blockchainMay 30, 2025
What’s the deal if I wanna import some new private keys into my new wallet, but my blockchain is pruned?
I think you need to watch out as in some (most cases) the place where you cash out doesn't matter. It's your tax residency that matters. In some cases (like with US citizens if I'm not mistaken) the only way to get rid…
