0 sats \ 1 reply \ @kruw 1 Dec \ parent \ on: Privacy in Bitcoin, state of the practice privacy
Only Samourai users could be doxxed at scale, and Samourai represented only a small fraction of coinjoin liquidity compared to Wasabi.

payjoin might even save TX fees
The sender pays the mining fee for one of the receiver's inputs. It's a fee transfer rather than a fee saving.

Can someone explain why a "swap" is performed instead of a "splice"?
131 sats \ 0 replies \ @kruw 26 Nov \ parent \ on: 🤔 What if your wallet didn’t need an Electrum server at all? bitcoin
No, BIP157/158 block filters are a privacy upgrade. Electrum servers gain access to your wallet's entire transactoon history.
50 sats \ 0 replies \ @kruw 16 Nov \ on: Bitcoin doesn’t need to conquer the world to succeed bitcoin
Frankly, this is wrong. Bitcoin's security comes from transaction fees paid to miners. If Bitcoin is only used by a small niche of people, then they can easily be censored by a 51% attack.

25%+ of all the nodes on the network on running on StartOS.
Interesting claim, how do they measure this statistic?
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
0 sats \ 1 reply \ @kruw 30 Oct \ on: Tell me more about Bitcoin Cash? bitcoin
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?

This article is a Frankenstein's monster composed of ChatGPT generated bulletpoint lists, lol.

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

October 20th 2025, it's printed sideways in the margin of page 1.

This could even be a disaster for 1 conf. But in this case, most transactions ended up in both versions of the block.
100 sats \ 4 replies \ @kruw 19 Oct \ on: My Second Thoughts on Silent Payments bitdevs
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.

Was great meeting you, SN had a dominant presence at the event!

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