I don't know clearly that what is the main benefit of Bitcoin Core. Please make me clear!

it's the base of Bitcoin network.
when others wallets have problems, Bitcoin Core don't.

@jd

The privacy and security do not necessarily come for free. The best setup involves, in order:

  • Most secure hardware you can get
  • Most secure Operating System running on that hardware (macOS and Windows are, of course, not secure)
  • Get connected to the Bitcoin network over Tor


Thank you Carlton Banks  Cool

@jd

just install and run Bitcoin Core, then your Bitcoin Core node will add another brick of strength to Satoshi's Fortress of rules Smiley (or another watt to Satoshi's cryptographic force-field, whatever metaphor you prefer Cheesy)

Anyone who has anything to add to that, feel free.

...not just to enforce the rules, but to get the extra privacy and security you get when using the blockchain directly...

Good Evening Carlton Banks,

I am fairly well informed but perhaps you could elaborate further. Could you please explain how one goes about using the blockchain directly, not only for me but also for those listening/watching/reading but also for the benefit of future lurkers/searchers of these forums.

Especially interested in the privacy and security part. These are messed up times...

Thanks in advance,

-jd

hi all!!!
this wallet version seem to have a fee calculator.
there are other wallets who give you the right fee to confirm transaction in 1H or less?

Why we can't use this new version for mining?

GPU card = 400w = 35MH/s
GekkoScience ASIC USB = 10w = 10 000 MH/s
CPU = 190w = 2MH/s
Cheap ASIC USB = 5w = 333 MH/s

so, you can mine with an USB key that it contain 1 ASIC chip.  Smiley

uh where those number come from? a 1080 can do 1giga, and consume less than 200watt, that number are surely based on old gpu or they are wrong as fuck

still useless to mine but at least with a farm you can expect something, with 1000 gpu you have one tera already, not going to match the asic but still relevant at least

Hey guys, I am new and was looking for something for CPU mining.


Why we can't use this new version for mining?
Because bitcoin mining difficulty is so high that CPU mining isn't even guaranteed to solve one block on average before the end of the known universe. We don't want to encourage people to waste time and energy doing something completely futile and furthermore encourage them to create illegal botnets stealing power for something futile (that's usually why people ask about CPU mining.)

I also do not really understand about all that, if all those things can be useful I will also do that. And of course I will also ask because I also do not know it yet
Thank you

Same as you, i am currently only listening first, because i am still new to something like this, although i have tried to download bitcoin-0.14.1-win32-setup samai is done. But there are still obstacles where the program does not arise in the computer.
Therefore I try again and see the others. thank you

I recently started a bitcoin node to support the network. I opened the port 8333 on my router and have set my firewall to accept incoming connections from my bitcoin client, but It still doesn't show any incoming connections. I even visited the bitcode page to check my node status and it states that it is inaccessible. Please help!

Yes.

https://bitcoincore.org/en/releases/0.12.0/

Quote
With 0.12 it is possible to use wallet functionality in pruned mode.
This can reduce the disk usage from currently around 60 GB to around 2 GB.

However, rescans as well as the RPCs importwallet, importaddress, importprivkey are disabled.

To enable block pruning set prune= on the command line or in bitcoin.conf,
where N is the number of MiB to allot for raw block & undo data.

A value of 0 disables pruning. The minimal value above 0 is 550.

Your wallet is as secure with high values as it is with low ones. Higher values merely ensure that your node will not shut down upon blockchain reorganizations of more than 2 days - which are unlikely to happen in practice. In future releases, a higher value may also help the network as a whole: stored blocks could be served to other nodes.

For further information about pruning, you may also consult the release notes of v0.11.0.

from 500Mb to 140Gb.

Are you saying this size for prune mode? Also, it is very slow today for the blockchain downloading.

I am upgrading from 0.8 to new version. Already downloaded 35 Gb's, Still more blocks left. Is it absolutely necessary to download all blocks.

 is it safe to activate prune? how much data size will be, when in prune mode?
