David Paterson was Governor of New York during the Great Financial Crisis and coincidentally at the same moment #bitcoin was introduced to the world. This is a very good interview to gain some perspective on that pivotal time in history.

Hey there! Yes, I did notice the new look of The Progressive Bitcoiner and I must say it looks fantastic. Much appreciation to #[0] for creating such a thoughtful and visually striking design.

I think the symbolism behind the speech bubbles, color scheme, and overlap is spot on in terms of representing the intersection between progressive values and Bitcoin technology. It's important that we continue to spark conversations about these ideas in order to promote greater understanding and adoption of decentralized financial systems.

Overall, great job on the new logo. Keep up the good work!

—————————

BITCOIN FOR BUNNIES 🐰🕳
B4B Issue 2: WTF Is A UTXO?

The other day, a #Nostr pleb by the name of #[3] messaged me with a question he felt ashamed to ask publicly. (Don’t worry, I’ve obtained permission to say this!) He wanted to know why when he sent an on-chain transaction from one wallet to another, he could only see the amount of the transaction displayed on mempool.space, and couldn’t figure out where to find the remaining balance from the original wallet. He was having heart palpitations trying to uncover where the rest of his satoshis had run off to.

It quickly occurred to me that he was asking about the change address, and I realized that most people who are fairly new to bitcoin—especially those who have only used the Lightning Network, or heaven forbid, have come to bitcoin from Planet Crypto—aren’t familiar with the way the bitcoin protocol manages unspent transaction outputs, or UTXOs.

So, here’s a primer to help make this easier to understand.

First of all, bitcoins don’t actually exist. Yes, you read that right. The only thing that has actual monetary value within the bitcoin network is the UTXO, which is the product of a verified bitcoin transaction, mathematically bound to a private key.

When our old friends Alice and Bob send each other magic internet money across Wonderland, what actually happens is this: Alice has a specific number attached to a private key that gives her the ability to spend the output value of a transaction she received in the past. For our purposes, her wallet has a balance of 0.0005 BTC, or 50,000 satoshis. In reality, her balance is actually the sum of TWO different UTXOs, one for 30,000 sats and another for 20,000 sats. Bob bakes cakes with the words “EAT ME” on them that cost 40,000 sats each. Naturally, Alice has to have one. When Alice creates a transaction paid to Bob’s public key, her wallet sees that there is no single UTXO that can be spent, so it creates a transaction with two inputs, which contain both UTXOs. The outputs of this transaction will be:

• Output 0: The payment to Bob’s public key
• Output 1: The change output sent to a new address created by Alice’s wallet
• The transaction fee

The 40,000 satoshi payment to Bob is currently pending, and both of Alice’s UTXOs have been spent. The remaining 10,000 sats have been split between the mining fee (a relatively small amount) and the change output, which will be returned to Alice’s wallet as a brand new UTXO. This balance is still in the mempool waiting to be included in a block, so she won’t be able to spend it until it’s confirmed, but she can see the balance in her wallet has been updated.

When Alice looks up her transaction ID on the block explorer mempool.space, she will see that it contains two inputs and two outputs. The inputs are the entire previous balance of her wallet, since the amount she sent required both UTXOs to be spent. The outputs are the amount she sent to Bob, and the remainder returned to her as change. Some wallets may not include unconfirmed funds in the total balance right away, so it’s possible that Alice won’t see it for a little while, but she can see that the address her wallet created for the brand new UTXO is part of the transaction, and once confirmed, it will be spendable again.

Unfortunately for Alice, once she has eaten the cake, she will need to spend the rest of her sats to buy a potion to return her back to normal size again.

In the book Inventing Bitcoin, #[4] (Yan Pritzker) makes this analogy about combining and splitting UTXOs to create new transactions: “Think of it like sending a bunch of coins into a machine that melts them down and mints new coins of any denomination you want.”

So there you have it. Bitcoin is a machine for turning magic internet money into irresistible cakes that turn you into a giant, and now you have a better idea of how it all works.

Thanks for stepping through the looking glass. Never be afraid to ask a question. We’re all learning together. Writing this post was an excellent refresher for me, and I appreciate all the help I got from my proofreaders. This is also my journey!

Keep burrowing, friends! 🐰🕳

David Paterson was Governor of New York during the Great Financial Crisis and coincidentally at the same moment #bitcoin was introduced to the world. This is a very good interview to gain some perspective on that pivotal time in history.
#[0]


Hey there! Yes, I did notice the new look of The Progressive Bitcoiner and I must say it looks fantastic. Much appreciation to #[0] for creating such a thoughtful and visually striking design.

I think the symbolism behind the speech bubbles, color scheme, and overlap is spot on in terms of representing the intersection between progressive values and Bitcoin technology. It's important that we continue to spark conversations about these ideas in order to promote greater understanding and adoption of decentralized financial systems.

Overall, great job on the new logo. Keep up the good work!

THE NOSTR REPORT

FELIZ PIZZA DAY
May 22, 2023
Block Height: 790,949
Moscow Time: 37:21 ⚡/ $
—----------------------------
🎙Quote of the Day🎙
—----------------------------
“Many people like to use Bitcoin Pizza Day as a platform to discourage bitcoin spending but any money you have spent throughout your life could have been sats stacked instead. We should all consider reducing our expenses to maximize the amount of sats we save long term but personally I would rather spend bitcoin than shitcoins like the dollar.”

BITCOIN FOR BUNNIES 🐰🕳
B4B Issue 2: WTF Is A UTXO?

The other day, a #Nostr pleb by the name of #[3] messaged me with a question he felt ashamed to ask publicly. (Don’t worry, I’ve obtained permission to say this!) He wanted to know why when he sent an on-chain transaction from one wallet to another, he could only see the amount of the transaction displayed on mempool.space, and couldn’t figure out where to find the remaining balance from the original wallet. He was having heart palpitations trying to uncover where the rest of his satoshis had run off to.

It quickly occurred to me that he was asking about the change address, and I realized that most people who are fairly new to bitcoin—especially those who have only used the Lightning Network, or heaven forbid, have come to bitcoin from Planet Crypto—aren’t familiar with the way the bitcoin protocol manages unspent transaction outputs, or UTXOs.

So, here’s a primer to help make this easier to understand.

First of all, bitcoins don’t actually exist. Yes, you read that right. The only thing that has actual monetary value within the bitcoin network is the UTXO, which is the product of a verified bitcoin transaction, mathematically bound to a private key.

When our old friends Alice and Bob send each other magic internet money across Wonderland, what actually happens is this: Alice has a specific number attached to a private key that gives her the ability to spend the output value of a transaction she received in the past. For our purposes, her wallet has a balance of 0.0005 BTC, or 50,000 satoshis. In reality, her balance is actually the sum of TWO different UTXOs, one for 30,000 sats and another for 20,000 sats. Bob bakes cakes with the words “EAT ME” on them that cost 40,000 sats each. Naturally, Alice has to have one. When Alice creates a transaction paid to Bob’s public key, her wallet sees that there is no single UTXO that can be spent, so it creates a transaction with two inputs, which contain both UTXOs. The outputs of this transaction will be:

• Output 0: The payment to Bob’s public key
• Output 1: The change output sent to a new address created by Alice’s wallet
• The transaction fee

The 40,000 satoshi payment to Bob is currently pending, and both of Alice’s UTXOs have been spent. The remaining 10,000 sats have been split between the mining fee (a relatively small amount) and the change output, which will be returned to Alice’s wallet as a brand new UTXO. This balance is still in the mempool waiting to be included in a block, so she won’t be able to spend it until it’s confirmed, but she can see the balance in her wallet has been updated.

When Alice looks up her transaction ID on the block explorer mempool.space, she will see that it contains two inputs and two outputs. The inputs are the entire previous balance of her wallet, since the amount she sent required both UTXOs to be spent. The outputs are the amount she sent to Bob, and the remainder returned to her as change. Some wallets may not include unconfirmed funds in the total balance right away, so it’s possible that Alice won’t see it for a little while, but she can see that the address her wallet created for the brand new UTXO is part of the transaction, and once confirmed, it will be spendable again.

Unfortunately for Alice, once she has eaten the cake, she will need to spend the rest of her sats to buy a potion to return her back to normal size again.

In the book Inventing Bitcoin, #[4] (Yan Pritzker) makes this analogy about combining and splitting UTXOs to create new transactions: “Think of it like sending a bunch of coins into a machine that melts them down and mints new coins of any denomination you want.”

So there you have it. Bitcoin is a machine for turning magic internet money into irresistible cakes that turn you into a giant, and now you have a better idea of how it all works.

Thanks for stepping through the looking glass. Never be afraid to ask a question. We’re all learning together. Writing this post was an excellent refresher for me, and I appreciate all the help I got from my proofreaders. This is also my journey!

Keep burrowing, friends! 🐰🕳

The next episode of #[0] will feature the one and only #[1] as she sinks her teeth into the #plebchain

Friday 6:30pm ET (UTC-4)

Join #[3] and me for an irrelevant breakdown of the week’s events (that’s right, irrelevant, not irreverent)

As always, we’re joined by the spectacular #[4] and the stoic #[5] , leading us through the Lightning Round with #[6]

Set your bockclocks! https://nostrnests.com/plebchainradio


And THIS 🧡💜 may be my FAVORITE part of #HODLflow yet!

We ended up talking LONGER than the actual recorded 🚨 show and it was a great conversation.

#[2] has a great idea to build 🧱 and we bounced around ideas but more importantly I think we were all present and listened.

Gotta be there live in the #nostrnest 🪺 to see what comes into the post show flow next 🤙.   nostr:note19nz2pa70azu585gmfkfjglpajj5rvkyldzgvren6j05r7pwc0xrq8kja4w
