Ah, I see this was in a thread. Genesis block reward itself is unspendable.
I’m a little paranoid here. I know my change addresses before I get started.
Why what? Might be someone test sending a small amount to an address in a new wallet. They know change address works fine.
Did you know early bitcoin versions had code for a marketplace? Think eBay in wallet gui.

It was a trespassing event in Washington DC during a protest regarding election procedures.
Why? Transactions were essentially free back then. No funds at risk if node offline. Risk accumulates when someone sends you funds or routes through you.
While I agree the deaths have yet to be tallied, it’s gonna fall far short of 100 million. Time will tell if turbo cancers are real and time will tell what fraction of deaths were vaccine vs lockdown related. But I pray to God people don’t let this issue die. Laws must be changed.
The epidemic of curiosity deficit disorder amongst the medical community regarding the excess all cause mortality is shocking. This is a statistically signicant finding.
If I knew then what I know now, I’d have a lot more bitcoin. But since I love my job, I have a lot more bitcoin than if I stopped working when I “could.”
But I assure you my children will know what I wish I knew back then.
I’m grateful for bitcoin, but it was laptop mining in 2010 that made me the most when I knew the least. I naively hoped I’d help some poor kid avoid getting their few hundred bucks stolen by helping this bitcoin thing take off.
I Am a proud j3 participant. But with j6 having more popularity, I suggest we all move Proof of Keys day to J6.
Then we can all say we are J6 participants.
Ad hominem much?
He’s talking about a gamble he’s running.
True. And I’m not at all proud of how my profession largely ignored the immorality and harm here…but 100 million dead is far more dead than the vax.
100 million died by governments last century. I don’t think the vax is quite that bad.
Backup is needed to avoid penalty transaction. Suppose you set up a 1 btc channel to me and spend 1 sat and your machine crashes. Then you try to force close as if you spent nothing. Well, the penalty transaction gives me control of the full channel. You just lost almost an entire coin because you tried to cheat me out of a sat.
I set up a few channels but never spent from them. The thought was to set up channels and forget about them for a few years. But migrating to new hardware was tricky. Importing seed wasn’t enough despite never spending.
Well, with all the people who got shot this year, I guess one would expect more ghosts.
More like I forgot about it until I had a lot of free time. I even tried to donate my seed /lnd folder to a prominent bitcoin educator who didn’t bother to pick up the free coins.
Anyhow, after a few years passed, software tools got written and made it possible for me to recover a few grand in coin.
I’m still not really a lightning use though. I never got comfortable with backup procedures.
I started my lesson in 2018…but in 2022 I got my coins back.
