What if Node X only broadcasts transactions filled with KYCβd UTXOs, does that effectively associate that particular node with the KYCβd identity?
Node X over clearnet with no VPN can obviously be identified by the ISP. Node X over Tor is of course more private. But same question would apply. That node only broadcasts transactions that are full of KYCβd UTXOs.
Does this effectively dox Node Xβs owner?
Your exchange knows your UTXO, but doesnβt know your IP. Other nodes can see your IP over clearnet, but they wonβt know which UTXO you broadcast belongs to you. Nobody can associate a specific UTXO with who you are until you send it back to a KYC exchange.
Sounds like if you were being targeted already, the information would be available (ie this person runs that node) but only with a lot of coordination across parties. Thanks π«‘
Yes. Always run your node over TOR to make it harder to trace πππ»
Thatβs the plan π«‘
Any experience with the desktop miner + node combo from FutureBit?
Exploring a bunch of options for nodes and dipping my toes into mining. But I live somewhere that electricity cost is $$$ so thereβs no hope of profitability in the short run.
And our building has steam heat included in rent so I canβt even double it as a heater lol
Those are useless. The latest ASICS with 140 tH can mine about 1M sats a month, assuming no downtime, so depending on your electricity cost, it may or may not be profitable. But if your goal is to get KYC sats, this is the only reliable way.
Non KYC
Doing the math with the idea of home mining with an s19J pro (104 tH), just for an example.
Cost of energy: > $0.20 per kWh
Profits: negative $3.5K per year
Iβd basically pay a 150% premium for no kyc satsβ¦. As opposed to 2-3% premium via robosats, lol
Woof.
Yeah, but I always wonder how do you know you are really getting non KYC bitcoin with Robosats? π€·π»ββοΈ
