Anyone know a shop for a Nano3 in Europe?


Yeah I know. But my brain can’t comprehend that this is the private key security.


I know, but still if JtR can do 1,5m tries a second on a gpu.


I’m 1000+ hours into Bitcoin. There is one thing I don’t understand.

A private key is a 256-bit string.

When using a private key to login to a software wallet, or reinstalling a hardware wallet with private key or seed phrase, the private key is instantly recognized. It’s not like you only know if a private key is valid when you sign a transaction.

My point is, why couldn’t you write a script that tries 1000 combinations a second? There doesn’t seem to be a time lapse per try.

I know entropy and that there are many many many combinations. But still. What am I missing here?


You serious? Most milked show ever


Scary


Crazy. Wonder if it’s actually the asics or just trying to receive compensation


Ok. Tonight I’ve deleted my Twitter account. Took me 5+ years to get 4000 followers and every single post is still shadowbanned. Zero interaction. I’ve tried Blue Check, instant likes and interaction. Twitter / X is a scam.


Is this the best low-med power home miner you think? Was planning to get two in Sep to heat our home offices this winter.


I should come here more often


Need one. Will order the September batch.


Oh for sure! We are thinking on the coast between Barcelona and Valencia. Or the islands.


I want to get out of the Netherlands. Just can’t stand the dark winters and grey weather anymore.

France or Spain. Any recommendations? Traveled both extensively but would love some feedback.


Just woke up from surgery. How’s it going fam?


Worst band ever


Congrats fam. Emotional moment. 15 years. Crazy. Some respect to the SEC and uncle Gary for the date.


Woah!! That’s amazing. Thank you.

It took a while to figure out how to create a lnurl address. Most apps only support lighting invoices.


Can someone please zap me? ⚡ I’m trying to figure this thing out.

Using wallet of satoshi at the moment. Any good recommendations to be self sufficient regarding the lnurl side of things?


UPDATE ‼ Bitcoin price dumped 9% in 1 hour on the basis of a report by Matrixport predicting an SEC rejection of ALL Bitcoin ETF applications.

Their justification? Politics.

- 5 voting commissioners are Democrats.
- Democrats don't like 'crypto'.
- Applicants haven't satisfied the SEC's requirements.
- There is not political justification to approve a Bitcoin ETF.

I spoke to Bloomberg's ETF analyst @JSeyff at length, and together with his senior colleague @EricBalchunas - they give a +90% chance of approval due to a number of factors, especially the SEC's significant change in behaviour by way of engaging with applicants and providing them with guidance on updating their applications.

My interview with James is really worth listening to because we cover this from the outset and James lays it out quite clearly.  It's worth noting James and Eric called Grayscale's victory in advance and have been accurate all the way along so far.

There are several key reasons as to why a Bitcoin ETF is more likely to be approved this time compared to previous attempts:

1. **Grayscale's Legal Victory**: Grayscale winning its court case against the SEC has significantly shifted the landscape. This court decision has been a major catalyst in increasing the likelihood of ETF approvals.

2. **SEC's Increased Engagement with Issuers**: The SEC's proactive discussions and meetings with ETF issuers suggest a more collaborative and open approach towards resolving outstanding issues and concerns related to ETFs.

3. **Addressing SEC's Concerns**:  Issuers have gradually addressed the SEC's concerns, ticking off many of the SEC's checklist of requirements for approval, such as 'Cash Creates' only.

4. **Market Evolution and Maturity**: The Bitcoin market has significantly evolved and matured over the years, with better infrastructure, increased institutional participation, and more robust regulatory frameworks.

5. **Improved Market Surveillance and Compliance**: Advances in market surveillance and compliance mechanisms have made it easier to address the SEC's concerns regarding market manipulation and fraud.

6. **Increased Institutional Interest**: Growing interest from established financial institutions in Bitcoin has likely played a role in pushing for regulatory clarity and ETF approvals. https://image.nostr.build/a4a7f5ac010cc28dedd422df076a8efd677ad9eecf3c33d0946b32712d12527a.jpg


Pff Twitter needs to improve their code and their understanding of the English language. Lets try it here.

Peter Schiff, you’ll die a stubborn and old man. https://image.nostr.build/c182ac7881e2d7b572f402d8b5697e4374867b8193591e7391a1da6bf693c210.jpg


Let’s see who is more powerful; Blackrock or JPM. nostr:note1ql590ype22s7w6dx9rfd53paa733r549cgtl99x0aeqr8q0yrpes9tm9s4


What is your take on the Ocean mining pool?


Yes


What’s ETH?


Is it just me or is the Orange Pill app incredibly expensive?


Uhh

It’s a great filter though. Anything the state or centralized social media platforms remove is pretty much a no brainer health benefit.
