  • Sure, I assumed that was the point the op was trying to make. I was just adding another point that it could be that the transaction is already in several candidate block of miners and will be confirmed as soon as one of…

  • You made a decent beginner friendly thread to understanding transaction details, the topic title and the theme complicates it as it's not entirely about tracking transactions but what they are about. Do a bit more…

  • That's not exactly wrong. I also don't think it's wrong to assume that in the build up to a halving the media attention goes higher than it was, more retail investors and cousins are aware of Bitcoin and at a time when…

  • Go to wallet > (wallet) information, you'll get your master public key which will be used to open a watch-only wallet. When creating a wallet, use the option to "use a master key" then enter the xpub to create a…

  • This depends on your total expenditure to keep your mining node running. It is estimated to take a solo Miner an average of 10 months to a year to get a valid block, this average means it could be shorter for some and…

  • Increase in the price of Bitcoin is what has resulted in thefts and wrench attacks. It's a basic concept that criminals will want to collect something of value, and the wrench attack is just like any form of theft. Same…

  • I don't see that happening anytime soon or ever. On the part of the citizens; adoption of Bitcoin does not benefit the economy, neither does it help with creating an enabling environment for businesses to function. They…

  • The cost of buying cryptocurrencies Bitcoin is not too high compared to a couple of months ago when it was almost double the current price. And you can always buy a fraction of a Bitcoin depending on how much you have,…

  • I'm in agreement here. Exchanges should never be used as a medium to store bitcoins. You can buy and sell through them, if you do not mind sharing your personal details, but if you're holding for the long term, get a…

  • It ideally should have been dropped from majority mempool but hasn't been, so you should not be banking on that anymore. Try contacting both the sender and receiver to know what can be done about the transaction. They…

  • No, I don't think we will remain bearish for up to 2 months and I also I'm not certain the bullrun starts after that period of time. Historical pattern plays a part in future price actions, but that has changed…

  • No, there is no inherent danger in this that they can steal your coins. It's just a way of proving that you indeed have ownership of the Bitcoin wallet's private keys, and allows others to verify that information…

  • This could also be only the companies that are willing to lobby their way through legal issues survive, and the res either get hounded out by litigations or bought by the first group of companies. What's most noticable…

  • It looks more like abusing the freedom there is in the crypto space and also contradicting their own regulation attempts. This will be a very interesting case to follow and should get as much public attention other…

  • Outside blockchain.com there is no way to recover the wallet with the available information. Access to the email used to register the blockchain.info wallet looks to be very necessary for recovery of the account, I…

  • The Bitcoin white paper is not very beginner friendly. Without some level of in-depth knowledge most will struggle to understand it, there are other easy to understand sources of information for those looking to get…

  • What purpose would a log of all available public keys serve? I'm trying to think of possible reasons anyone would want that but I can't come up with any. Can you share what prompted the project?

  • How would a third party website or app override changes and updates made on Bitcoin core which nodes use to connect to the network? If that were possible we would have people creating such applications and allowing…

  • Yes. If an attacker is trying to brute force their way into a wallet they will need both keys in a 2 of 2 wallet to sign a transaction from it. Hypothetically, yes it would help in this situation. Change happens…

  • You may be giving too much credit to institutional investments. It's a plus to have seasoned investor groups that I ill not easily buckle under price pressure, but many retail investors have become wiser with each…
