Israel was attacked. This is bad. And now we wait for the ban bitcoin because of terrorism scam again. If they don’t try to draw a connection between hamas and bitcoin, we are in luck. But I suspect it will become part of a bigger push against bitcoin.
Interest rates paid on savings are just a bribe to keep you using their money.
Never forget: when FTX took customer orders for bitcoin and never actually bought the bitcoin, they stole from all of us, not just their customers.
Strong work. These two companies are just killing it with spot on products and services.
Obligatory plug for nostr:npub1jg552aulj07skd6e7y2hu0vl5g8nl5jvfw8jhn6jpjk0vjd0waksvl6n8n #satellite: it’s free, it’s easy, it’s private, and it’s literally hitting you over the head w every time you go outside. Run your node from Space! All the cool kids are doing it.
Hypothesis: Bitcoin makes world war 3 more likely.
Rationale: the evil people running the world realize bitcoin fixes the problems that enrich them; hence, they have little to lose in the future that cuts the rulers out of the system of them currently called money. Thus, they don’t care if they start WWIII.
Them: You don’t deserve your bitcoin! What did you do to deserve it?
Us: I helped create a new monetary system.
I figured it out. I wasn’t sure which blk file held the transactions I needed and initially only loaded the last 50 or so blk files, when I did bitcoin -loadblock=blk03700.dat -loadblock=blk03701.dat … for the last 150 or so blk files it worked perfectly.
Took a little fiddling to make every file in a directory into a -loadblock=file argument on the command line. Linux probably has a dozen ways to do this in one step, but I did it in a multi step process.
Irony upon irony.
Anyone out there know how to load blocks from blk*.dat files into core?
I have an offline node fed data via satellite and it was offline…I can wait a few weeks to get it back in sync, but I have other online nodes that are in sync.
I don’t want to bring my offline node online for security reasons, but I figure how hard could it be to just bitcoind -loadblock=*.dat ?
Are they like snakes? Removing the head of the snake does condemn it to die, but it ain’t exactly a quick process. The head is still very much alive and dangerous for many minutes.
Dad, what time is it?

What?
Someday kid, you’ll understand. You’ll understand this is the only time that matters.
Wild theory:
Bitcoin’s blockchain technology was recognized as inevitable in 1998…that’s why the government decided it needed the patriot act. To justify the patriot act, the government needed 9/11 attacks.
Warrantless mass surveillance is needed to curb the rise of bitcoin.
What do you think? Blockchain isn’t hard to understand. Maybe NSA figured it out before satoshi?
The block size wars were the most educational time for me in bitcoin. And I had a lot to learn. Satoshi roundtable gave me the opportunity to talk with smart people and to learn and understand why I was wrong…Satoshi Roundtable is the best conference.
…and if you’re married, you’re condemned by what she thought you must have probably said or would maybe possibly have said if you said anything…
Getting back at it. Still after all this shit I’m having problems with the new motherboard. It booted once, till basically a whole minute, got an error on the CPU fan.
Figured that one out, now it’s stuck on the DRAM light again and won’t boot. I swear I must have pissed off the technology gods or something 🤣😭 https://video.nostr.build/61f16d961734611065b64eee6ff0827175d48573e88cd0e0e11469416d27fa96.mov
Looks like a beast of a machine!
This is why health care, housing, and food can never be rights.
That…would work…makes my mind wander in the direction of Jason Lowery’s theory of cyberspace as a military space…
