"but it was a consensus decision"
The move away from core in the last few months suggests you're incorrect.
"backed by over 30 developers"
Their opinions aren't really relevant at the end of the day.
Some of us use our miners for ez heating in the winter but in the summer when it's 30 celsius outside AC is required in addition.
Depends.
I spend a lot more on cooling than heating in the northern hemisphere. My electricity bill is essentially double during Jun/Jul/Aug than it is in say Dec/Jan/Feb.
It can lead to reuse, for some it's not really a problem to receive to the same address over and over again.
You have a few options if it's an issue.
- Use lightning payouts
- Switch to new addresses periodically as suits you
- If received several payouts to one address you can run the funds back through a lightning wallet, liquid, coinjoin or whatever you prefer to
Of course each of those come with their own tradeoffs, costs, privacy considerations depending on your approach.
Explained in more detail at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenland_and_the_European_Union
Essentially it was an argument about fish.
The EU wasn't formed until 1993 so they never left it as such.
While Denmark joined what was then the EEC in the early 1970s, Greenland obtained home rule in the early 1980s and voted to leave what was then the EEC around that time.
I quite enjoy watching the transactions from time to time.
Indeed, ideally in my view, much more control should be open to the node runner in terms of configuration and what they deem acceptable. Your settings might vary from mine significantly...based on your feelings.
"utreexo is a way to make it easier for many people to run nodes"
Not complete and therefore not interesting personally. If people wish to use it then that's their prerogative.
"...blocks are full of wonderful beautiful monetary transactions, running a full node will be just as difficult as it is if the blocks are full of spam."
I'm not sure why that would be an issue. It's far more pleasing to run a node when it's being used to support a vibrant network and not one where the blocks are full of satoshi dice, veriblock, nfts/ordinals/inscriptions and op_net clownery. ETH and SOL exist for these sorts of exercises to my eye.
"It is surprising that the filteroors don't talk about utreexo more."
Likely because it isn't a solution. The solution is those transactions do not occur and more people run full nodes themselves.
Kinda like Canada. Most provinces top out at north of 50% for highest marginal rate. Even Alberta and Saskatchewan are close to 50%
The Quality Learing Centers in Minnesota seemed tolerated and encouraged from my vantage point as one example.
For the node you can use just about any old surplus PC and it should be fine unless it's truly ancient. Mine runs on some old i5 from a decade ago but I did kit it out with 16GB RAM and a larger SSD before those became more expensive than gold. Sounds from your comment like you'll have plenty of parts lying around and chances are they'll be fine. I personally loaded startOS (start9.com) on mine.
For starter miners you'll find bitaxe/nerdqaxe line ups will be an affordable entry point albeit purely hobbyist with next to nil chance of making "profit" from what they'll actually mine. Canaan makes some nice products for the home depending on your budget.
I'm Canadian so a) our military is a monty python sketch and b) I'm not a military man myself so I'd defer to asking those involved or running the risk of getting a missile in the face if they support it or not and go with that.
I tend to follow the Lepard-esque view that if bitcoin was more widely adopted the powers that be wouldn't have the money to fund what end up being usually frivolous or pointless wars.
