No unfortunately that is a rare error from Ben, no phone required.
Bitcoin Core runs independently from Electrum servers, correct? I mean, a node does not have to connect to a server because its got all the necessary information pertaining to interactions with the Bitcoin network?
My understanding is that an Electrum server needs to be installed on top of a node plus the Electrum wallet? Then, the server operates as a middleman between nodes and wallets to speed up the data interaction process?
I'm not certain these questions make sense. I do have a node package with Electrs installed and been using it a long time and connecting wallets to it but just now am I trying to better understand what I'm using.
The Electrum/EPS/Electrs repos have so far not enlightened me sufficiently. I suppose a diagram would be handy.
Thanks for the link towards the PGP keys of the attesters. The link included in the Linux verification instructions on the Bitcoin Core website is erroneous.
It seems to me like it may due to the relays being overloaded at the moment. I could be completely wrong. It takes quite some time for me too before anything pops up.
This website is a good simple resource for Lightning addresses: https://lightningaddress.com/
Well put.
The exponential growth expenditure eventually backlashes and implodes, and we begin a new cycle.
The final paragraph is weird.
"Therefore, while the competition is fun, it is doubtful that anyone will ‘win’ the Bitcoin in the wallet. However, interest in crypto is slowly returning. The crypto fear and greed index flipped to ‘greed’ recently, and Google searches for ‘Bitcoin’ reached highs last seen in November. Competitions such as this can aid new users in understanding crypto security."
