21 sats \ 1 reply \ @kruw 31 Oct \ on: How of core 30 to have the new op_return implemented bitcoin_beginners
I was wondering how much in % of nodes must be running core 30 in order to have the op_return limit increased.
Roughly 0%. Miners can put an OP_RETURN up to 1MB in a block regardless of what P2P nodes set their config to.
This block that was mined 6 months ago is entirely filled by a 1MB OP_RETURN, long before Core V30's release: https://mempool.space/block/000000000000000000005bcbf03e6488be1ceb3b501ecfc2b11cce900a870636

I am just curious about Bitcoin Cash, why the big block and more speed you have on Bitcoin transactions people not interested on it?
There's empty block space on Bitcoin, why would anyone be interested in bigger blocks?

Bitcoin is censorship resistant. If you don't like that, then fork off.

This could even be a disaster for 1 conf. But in this case, most transactions ended up in both versions of the block.

Here's my take for now, if you feel I missed something, leave it in the comments below!
The best way to send silent payments from desktop is with Wasabi Wallet. It has BIP157/BIP158 block filters, Tor by default, and coinjoins to protect your privacy from third parties & from the receiver.

This idea sounds like Liana wallet. The "trigger" is reset by spending your coins on chain.

It's okay if you use that change output to refill that same lightning wallet in the future.
0 sats \ 2 replies \ @kruw 7 Oct \ parent \ on: (Q.) Wasabi Coinjoin Steps bitcoin_beginners
There's only 2 more details I would mention:
  • Make sure that you do not share the xpub address of your cold storage wallet with third party servers; run your own node
  • When transferring between your own wallets, try to send entire UTXOs without creating a leftover change output

I think this film is really overrated, but Nicholson's talented acting makes it entertaining.
There's a sequel called "Doctor Sleep" that's basically the same style as a superhero movie.

Good plan. Make sure you write down your passphrase for Wasabi Wallet, it acts the "13th word" of your recovery seed.

Question for you: if people want to pay a miner to validate a transaction ... of 90kb today, how would they do it?
The way you pay miners a transaction fee is by having the value of outputs be lower than the value of the inputs you are spending.
Would other miners reject that block?
Unlikely, unless they mined a competing block at the exact same time.
If miners all adopt the default OP_RETURN limit today, why?
Miners adopted a higher OP_RETURN limit because they wanted to satisfy their paying customers.
Wouldn't miners be influenced by market signals?
Yes, the miners are highly influenced by their customers who are paying them to store their data on your Knots node.
