List of post:

Hello,

I notice that the Bitcoin database is stored sequentially in blk*.dat files, with an average size between 128 to 134MB. I would like to know how this average size is determined and if there are any tests that demonstrate this size is the most efficient.

Regards.
Numerous variables, such as the volume of transactions, block size, and data storage needs, affect the size of the Bitcoin blockchain database, which houses all transaction records, but it keeps growing as new transactions are added to the network. And also size is subjected to change and may have changed from my previous update.

Since efficiency varies depending on the situation, there are no certain tests that show the size of the Bitcoin database to be the most efficient. In contrast, Bitcoin's database size is frequently found to be more efficient than that of conventional banking systems when it comes to specific tasks like transaction processing and verification.

1. blk*.dat files and Bitcoin blockchain are 2 different thing. blk*.dat files refer to how Bitcoin Core software store Bitcoin blockchain data, where each full node software could store Bitcoin blockchain data differently.
2. It doesn't answer why each blk*.dat files have size with average size between 128 to 134MB.
3. While it's possible to store arbitrary data on Bitcoin, it's not designed as data storage.
4. There's no strong correlation between database size and transaction processing/verification.

Does anyone have a list of cloud storage services that will accept BTC? which one is the best? I think someone had a non KYC list which had some.

I have found Koofr but I want to see some more to compare prices. Someone mentioned Sync but it requires KYC or at least when paying they ask for all details.

Also, what happens to your files if you forget to pay? they delete them or they keep them? I have never used this.
Although I believe it was extremely irresponsible of you to forget to pay for what was delivered to you, when someone does not pay, their account or file may be disabled or they may not receive the thing they purchased. Additionally, you must carefully follow all instructions when making a purchase to avoid losing money or having your account or file blacklisted.

1. Cloud storage usually doesn't lock your file immediately if you stop paying them. Here are some relevant webpage i found,
2. User shinosuke ask question in example scenario, but it was responded as if user shinosuke actually forget to pay.

I agree with @LoyceV. But i'd like to emphasize that it's okay to ask question on those board.
I would be grateful if you reconsider your trust feedback on my profile.

I see many member only reconsider such things after some time, so ask me again in a year or more.

If it's real questions: of course Smiley But we don't need people asking questions trying to earn Merit, or just to increase their post count. Luckily, the fake ones usually don't receive Merit.

That would be a good start. It's not helpful, and can give people the wrong idea. Comparing Tor to DNS is like comparing your car engine to a street sign.

2. I don't understand why you compare Tor with DNS.
This guy should stay away from the tech boards. I regret Meriting him, he's now on my ignore list.

@MicroScript: The tech boards aren't meant to post BS, they're meant to help people with useful information. If you can't provide that, go to Beginners or Off-topic or something. Or just don't post. Maybe you got the wrong idea from my Merit on your first post, and you think you can repeat that. By now, 54 posts later, you should realize it doesn't work that way.

1. Bitcoin is decentralized, so there's no thing such as "central server".
2. Tor Bridge is designed to avoid censorship, see https://support.torproject.org/censorship/censorship-7/. In addition, there's no thing such as complete, absolute or 100% anonymity.
Thank you for your opinion and clarification of my point. Your statement that Bitcoin uses a decentralized network is fully correct, and I was mistaken here. Also, I realize that TOR provides a high level of anonymity but isn’t always secure. My goal was to show the advantages of TOR against other DNS in terms of privacy and network access, but I see my misunderstanding of professional terms as troubling. Once again, thank you for the comment!

1. Your original post didn't mention DNS.
2. I don't understand why you compare Tor with DNS.

1. Statement "Your Bitcoins in Lobster Wallet are actually real." and "Lobster is a wallet for Stellar Network, not Bitcoin." are conflicted.
2. Bitcoin Core and hardware wallet aren't the only Bitcoin wallet out there.
I want to clarify. Although other Bitcoin wallets exist, including Bitcoin Core and hardware wallets, my goal was to mention additional alternatives just for Bitcoin since that was a proper answer to the question context. Concerning this, I should’ve explicitly stated that different wallets could be used, and I am sorry if I sounded unclear. Thank you for your comment.

And how about the conflicting statement i pointed out?

1. The thread talks about modifying Bitcoin-Qt 0.6.2 client. So statement "The blockchain client must be configured to mine the Genesis block" is wrong since Genesis block is hardcoded on Bitcoin. See https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Genesis_block.
2. If you create your own altcoin, that means you also need to run your own block explorer for your altcoin.
I appreciate your clarification. According to my very best knowledge, the Genesis block for this particular fork of Bitcoin (Bitcoin-Qt 0.6.2) is hard coded in and therefore can never be mined. I'm grateful for your pointing that out. Also, you're right an altcoin would involve running your very own block explorer which can monitor transactions and blocks. I apologize if my earlier remarks left any ambiguity, and am grateful for the chance to make myself clearer.

If you already know genesis block on Bitcoin is hard coded, i don't understand why you write statement "The blockchain client must be configured to mine the Genesis block." ?



And while we're at it, there are other questionable reply made by you.

Hello

I want to broadcast Bitcoin transactions using python's socket library.Now I can sign a transaction. But when sock is used to link other nodes, it is not known what information should be transmitted.The node I am linking to is protocol version 70016.I tried to find information on bitcoin.org.

This is the site I was looking for:
https://developer.bitcoin.org/reference/p2p_networking.html#protocol-versions

But it doesn't show how protocol 70016 works.I want to know which website I should visit for the 70016 version of the Bitcoin protocol.

Kindly check the Bitcoin core source code https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin to know the details about Bitcoin protocol version 70016 and explore Bitcoin Improvement Proposals so that you can understand how it works and understand broadcast transactions using Python's socket library.

This is very vague answer. Bitcoin Core has tons of code and most people don't know where to start inspecting the code. In addition, there are 163 BIP out there.

how does this work in Wasabi wallet? do I simply have to leave the CoinJoin running until 100% privacy is reached for my wallet? and is 100% possible or will it get near 100%? If hundred percent is reached, is it better to leave the coins on the current wallet or send everything to a new one?
The level of privacy attached to CoinJoin in the Wasabi wallet is not concrete but depends on the number of people participating and the quantity of the mixed amount. It drives privacy to 100; however, not every time it is left running leads it, it always improves it. As such, after one is contented with the privacy, it is ideal to move the coins to another wallet.

FAQ on Wasabi Wallet website says different thing.

Why does the privacy progress change if I select a different coinjoin strategy?

The privacy progress is influenced by the anonymity score target. If the coinjoin strategy is changed to one with a different anonnymity score target, this will cause the privacy progress to increase or decrease.

From those quoted FAQ, we can see chosen CoinJoin strategy is major factor on how Wasabi Wallet calculate percentage of privacy progress.

So that means there's less than a 50% chance that any of those posts used AI, which means they most likely weren't created using AI. Whereas the excerpt from your post I highlighted came back with a 94% chance... Admittedly yes, I don't have enough evidence to report your posts as being AI-generated (using my own standards), so I'm not gonna do that.

The main difference between you and me is your posts suck. They contain illogical blather of no substance, yet are of better-than-average grammatical construction. This suggests you are at the very least using some kind of editing tool. Still, you put zero thought or effort into what you do here and are just churning out nonsense in hopes it will magically lead to a payday. Not to mention the other half your posts are guesses for contests.

I'd say there's zero chance you aren't currently running multiple accounts on this forum, but this one will not get as far as you had hoped.

In any case, I hope you've at least learned to stay away from posting in the technical boards as you clearly know nothing when it comes to the technical details of bitcoin, and your idiocy could actually end up costing money for anyone who somehow took you seriously.

You said my posts suck. You show me which of my posts seemed to suck to you. If it really happens, I will fix it. But don't make any comments without any proof. You said my post is illogical. Point out that which is illogical. I am using only one account on this forum.

You cannot accuse me without sufficient proof. I did not use any text spinner or any other tool. I also checked some of your posts and also got 47%, 13%, 24% ai generated. Now what if i say that you also use text spinner to write your post.

I looked through some of your other posts and it appears you are using some kind of text spinner or other program to write your posts for you, and then manually tweaking them slightly so as to avoid being detected. Furthermore, I strongly believe you created this account for the purpose of cheating contests (as well as getting into some kind of shitty sig or review campaign). Hard to say who your main account is but I'm sure you have more than one and am in the process of narrowing them down.

You are blaming me depending on ai. If you have to blame, check with your own brain and then blame. Your statements are fully dependent of an ai detector.

You misunderstood. You're relying on an AI to say my explanation is written with chatgpt. It is not fair to blame anyone depending on AI because AI may not be 100% accurate.

Wow, you used ChatGPT to counter the failures of using ChatGPT that were just pointed out to you. Simply stunning!

You really shouldn't be here at all -- its obvious you're trying to rank up an account for the purpose of getting in some kind of sig campaign, but you'll never get there if you lack the ability to generate any kind of original thought.

Edited:

When you wish to report a post as being "AI spam," particularly for posts that might not be explicit spam but still generated by AI, you can include a reference link in the report to your own post in this thread, which will contain results from AI detector analyses of the post. When adding an offending account to this thread for the first time, your post should include three or more examples of AI-generated posts by that account. Subsequently, each time the account makes an AI-generated post, those posts can be individually added to this thread, if necessary.

See here your post says 47% generated by AI but that doesn't mean you wrote it with AI. I mean these detectors don't always give 100% accurate results.

By configuring your Raspberry Pi 5 to adopt both an IPv4 and IPv6, Core Bitcoin will use an IPv6 addressing whenever it is available. Certainly, TOR can be the best way to solve the issue of inbound connections in order not to freak out the central server. The TOR bridges in place ensure complete anonymity provided in TOR. Responding to any possible problem of CGNAT or unstable IPv4 to make your full node approachable and anonymous.

The bitcoins from lobstr wallet er not real are they ?

I have just received 0.03 BTC but I can not swap them or do anything but send them

Your Bitcoins in Lobster Wallet are actually real. Lobster is a wallet for Stellar Network, not Bitcoin. Your transaction is not related to Bitcoin. It is related to Stellar Lumens (XLM). It is not possible to trade bitcoins in your Lobster Wallet because Lobster Wallet is designed for Stellar. For Bitcoin transactions, you need to use a Bitcoin Core wallet or a hardware wallet like Ledger or Treasure.

i compiled it but i dont know how to mine the genesis block.
can you help me?


The blockchain client must be configured to mine the Genesis block. Your blockchain client's configuration file for mining should include the algorithm, Coinbase address, difficulty target, and more ancillary settings. After configuring now start mining using the 'start mining' command or you can give the mining command through the user interface. After starting mining you need to monitor whether the correct blocks are being mined successfully. You can verify with Blockchain Explorer whether the Genesis block has been successfully added to the blockchain after it has been mined.

List of post:

Bitcoin Runes, or simply ‘Runes’, is a protocol that has emerged within the Bitcoin blockchain. It represents a new type of fungible token (FT) that is native to the Bitcoin network. The concept was introduced by Casey Rodarmor, the founder of the Ordinals protocol, which itself was a significant step forward in enabling NFT-like functionality on Bitcoin.

The Technical Innovation

Runes are designed to be a user-friendly, UTXO-based alternative to existing tokenized protocols like Ordinals, ORC-20, BRC-20, and Stamps. The protocol aims to minimize the creation of ‘junk’ UTXOs, thereby promoting more responsible UTXO management and reducing the blockchain footprint. This is achieved by embedding tokens within Bitcoin’s unspent transaction outputs (UTXOs), which is a departure from other protocols that may contribute to blockchain bloat.

Market Response and Potential

The market has shown a keen interest in Runes, with projects like Rune Alpha leading the charge. Rune Alpha is a cutting-edge block explorer and integrated application for the Rune protocol, providing a portal to delve into transactions, handle data, and offer extensive support for Rune12.

Conclusion

The introduction of Runes is a testament to the ongoing evolution of the Bitcoin network. It reflects a growing trend towards integrating more complex functionalities while maintaining the network’s core principles of decentralization and efficiency. As the protocol continues to develop, it could potentially open up new avenues for tokenization on Bitcoin, offering a more streamlined and intuitive approach to managing fungible tokens on the blockchain.

In summary, the Bitcoin Runes project is a fascinating development that showcases the adaptability and innovation within the Bitcoin ecosystem. It holds the promise of enhancing the utility of the Bitcoin blockchain while staying true to its foundational ethos.

1. Link he mentioned have no correlation with what he said.
2. It's not revoluionary. If you bother check OmniLayer documentation which created in last decade, it already utilize UTXO and OP_RETURN to create token on Bitcoin network.
3. Runes isn't part of Bitcoin network or protocol, so saying "or simply ‘Runes’, is a protocol that has emerged within the Bitcoin blockchain" and "the Bitcoin Runes project is a fascinating development that showcases the adaptability and innovation within the Bitcoin ecosystem" is very misleading.
4. Saying Runes could maintain Bitcoin network's efficiency is ridiculous, when other Bitcoiner forced to pay higher TX fee rate and contribute to mempool/network congestion.
