Thoughts on new logo for #AnotherFuckingBitcoinPodcast ?

I wanted to go more minimal and create something that could easily be overlaid with a transparent background.

Let me know what you think 🤙

Can anyone help me connect #Sparrow wallet to my #BitcoinCore node that is running on a different PC on the same network? I tried using Sparrow's guide, but for some reason it's not connecting.

Any videos or advice would be greatly appreciated!

My network uses 10.0.0.x format and ipv6. I don't know if that's part of the problem. I don't know a lot about networks.

Thanks!

If someone can teach me how to go from running a pruned node to a full node on bitcoin core, that would be great.

Good morning everyone.

I have a pretty tight #NoteBook and I managed to run #BitcoinCore pruned.

I also kept a copy of the #Cadenadebloques but I don't remember if it was pruned.

All this with 4 GB of RAM and 1Tb HDD.

Later I did something wrong, #BitcoinCore stopped working and when I launched it again it has started to download the entire #Cadenadebloques instead of asking for some available copy.

In addition, I decided to keep a copy in a small 2 TB external cloud that I have physically with me and that lost support from the manufacturer some time ago, which I use as a local external disk and connected through RJ 45 mostly, and with intermittent attempts, hot, through USB connection, looking for some improvement in data traffic between devices.

The thing is that I don't get a percentage of progress of increase per hour greater than 0.01%, which originally took me four weeks is on track to become four years, according to the statistics of the program itself.

In spite of everything, I have managed to download 19% of the chain in six weeks and I don't know whether to abort or support myself.

Thank you for your comments.

Someone I know in Egypt has a co-worker that was recently arrested for being a “black market” dollar dealer.

Authorities don’t mind if you own dollar accounts in Egyptian banks. But they don’t like you withdrawing them. They want to be able to fractionally reserve them, rehypothecate them, etc.

Unlike Argentina, Nigeria, Lebanon, Turkey, and many other countries, stablecoins are not popular in Egypt for dollar exposure. A common reason cited is they don’t like the intangibility of them. Same for bitcoin. But black market dollars are commonly traded for, albeit with legal risk.

When you own #bitcoin you’re:

- Shorting Central Banks

- Saving your monetary energy

- Taking power back from the «elite»

- Rioting against corrupt government
