Really interesting stats from Ukraine's Unmanned System Forces (aka drones).
The big one: the marginal cost to kill or seriously injure a Russian with drones is just $911 USD.

I've personally spoken to quite a few soldiers at different units (units have fundraising and recruiting booths at basically every big event in Ukraine), and they all say the same thing: a remarkably high percentage of their drone funding comes from private donations. A big problem is Western military aid tends to be tied to specific weapons systems โ not money โ so the overall resources can't be spent optimally.
Of course, it's not like the war itself costs $911/Russian casualty โ there's lots of other costs and investment necessary to get there. But the fact that units are still short on drones even though relatively little investment would fix this is absurd.
Also, I don't keep track. But I wouldn't be surprised if just my personal donations โ anonymously with Bitcoin โ have resulted in the deaths of a few Russians. You can easily make a difference.
Directly contributing to the war machine & human death isn't the flex you think it is. ๐ค

This is completely normal usage, the user just doesn't understand how transactions work. ๐ค
It's a consolidation transaction (a group of small balance addresses in the same #Bitcoin wallet being moved into a single address). ๐โโ๏ธ
Each #BTC address included in a transaction has a data size, so consolidating makes the transfer "heavier" data-wise & will raise the fee due to the larger virtual size. In addition to that, they have also put the fee rate pretty high (at 5.05 sat/vB) for faster settlement. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
They should have set the fee rate to 1 sat/vB & just waited; it would have only cost them โ of what they actually paid. ๐ค
If you liked #Bitcoin at $123K, you should LOVE #BTC at $113K. ๐ค

Yeah, but he's specifically complaining about the #Bitcoin / #BTC node sync speed hindering wallet creation & a pruned node won't fix that issue. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
If he just needs an address to send to ASAP, then there is a better solution. ๐ค
Fuck #Bitcoin / #BTC Core. ๐ค
Pruning simply tosses the oldest #Bitcoin blocks once you're synced, but you actually DO still have to download the entire #BTC blockchain to verify all blocks before it can toss the old ones. ๐ค
Why not just use a reputable wallet app until you can sync your own #Bitcoin / #BTC node? ๐โโ๏ธ
You can always just open that wallet once the sync is complete, or send it to a fresh wallet you make after the sync. ๐ค

First of all Variable speed of Light is an active research topic ... https://www.perplexity.ai/search/quantum-theory-for-variable-sp-rdB4vprnR7elxp72icvl9g#0
Second - assuming speed of light is CONSTANT .. how does that explain that Bitcoin price WILL NEVER be a constant ? If you are comparing BTC with speed of light than it should always have a fix price !
VSL is strictly theoretical & zero evidence exists to support it because we literally can't observe/measure/test it. Quantum Field Theory & General Relativity bind light speed as a universal constant. Everything we have ever observed or measured is bound by that speed & nobody has ever disproven it. ๐โโ๏ธ
You're misunderstanding the analogy. You're drawing the parallel that if the speed of light exists, then everything should travel at light speed. I never stated that price is a constant; I said that the value is a constant.
The #BTC QUANTITY is a constant; ~21M coins total.
โด
The #Bitcoin VALUE is also bound by that constant; โฟ1 = โฟ1.
The #BTC PRICE is a variable that can fluctuate anywhere from 0-100% of economic energy.
Just like different bodies of mass can have differing speed properties based on the physical energy input/output of the system, the Bitcoin price can fluctuate based on applied economic energy in the system.
Based on total global economic value, the Bitcoin network is currently sitting at ~0.069% of global economic value (~$3.53 quadrillion) at a price of ~$116K.
If it was:
1% = $1.68M per coin
10% = $16.8M per coin
100% = $168.1M per coin
These numbers are obviously variable since total global value isn't constant & we will never reach 100% of total global value because humans will always value things other than Bitcoin (and because money can be printed out of thin air), but the current theoretical "speed limit" applied to the price variable is $168.1M per coin, bound by the network constants. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Theory still holds. ๐ค
#Bitcoin / #BTC fixes this. ๐ค
#Bitcoin will never be pegged to anything, because it will outperform everythingโฆ forever. ๐โโ๏ธ
What you're saying is akin to "Oh, we can just change the speed of light to whatever speed we like whenever it suits us"โฆ but you can't. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
The formula to calculate the speed of light is a universal physical constant; 1 lightyear = 1 lightyear.
The formula to calculate the value of #BTC is a universal economic constant; โฟ1 = โฟ1.
Just like nothing that has mass can exceed the speed of light, nothing that has mass can exceed the value of Bitcoin. ๐ซด
If you don't understand this yet, then you need to study harder. ๐ค

Been AFK Nostr-wise & deep down the #AI rabbithole; sorry for the shitty response time. ๐ค
Well, it finally happened; the local SSD that one of my #Bitcoin / #BTC #Knots nodes is stored on filled up to red zone levels. ๐ญ
I've been doing tons of local #AI LLM/image/video/audio generation experiments lately (running from the same SSD drive) & had NO idea that checkpoint models, diffusion models, LoRAs, text encoders, outputs & installations would take up drive space so aggressively (a single base model alone can EASILY be 5-30GB & you need many different models to accomplish different tasks). ๐ซ
All of these models need to be run off of an SSD so that performance isn't degraded to the point of non-usability, so it was finally time for a data re-org. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
==========
STEPS TAKEN:
1. Close Bitcoin Knots.
2. Copy/paste "Bitcoin" folder from existing SSD โ Archival HDD.
3. When the copy is complete, change the name of the old "Bitcoin" folder to "Bitcoin-old" & re-open Knots (so Knots thinks the folder doesn't exist anymore).
4. Choose the new "Bitcoin" directory in the "New installation" prompt & uncheck all boxes to make sure you are still unpruned & verifying all blocks (it will falsely report the disk space available because it assumes the existing data in the "Bitcoin" folder is unrelated data).
5. Knots will then recognize & verify the existing blocks, then sync any new blocks that were found during the downtime.
6. Once you've verified that the migration worked & you're fully synced, delete the "Bitcoin-old" folder on the old drive.
That's it! You're migrated & fully up-to-speed without having to download the entire blockchain all over again. ๐ฅณ
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Make sure you are only copying your own verified blockchain so that you are sure that the block data is legitimate. DO NOT grab the blockchain from any other unverified source, as this can lead to incorrect data issues, misallocated funds & double-spend attempts. ๐จ
==========
I'm happy to report that after 8 hours of downtime (I forgot how slow HDDs actually were at transferring data since I run most daily tasks off of SSDs), all drives are happy & I will be able to host this complete, unpruned blockchain node for another 5-8 years before having to re-org any data again (by which time it will be completely feasible to cheaply migrate to a completely dedicated SSD drive that will last for another decade or more before filling up). ๐โโ๏ธ
