PYTHON --> RUST

I thought calling Rust code from Python should be easy. It turns out it is even easier than that! (pyo3/maturin)

I've already got some :D

Correction: The message is probably from someone else, not the owner of the coins, it was just sent to the address.

Here's some message from someone who recently moved coins mined 14 years ago

Stablecoins may become the CDBC. Be alert, avoid them.

El Salvador's Bitcoin Office adds every day 1 btc to their reserve address. Apparently they also do UTXO consolidation!

Well put. Incentives matter, incentives make actors turn in the same direction. Emergent behavior guided by incentives

Also of Utreexo, among many other things. Legend.

Welcome. Utreexo is (still) very promosing :)

Is Steve Cutts on Nostr already?

I don't think nostr can change much on the systemic level, but it can help on the individual level

After playing around with #kyoto-cbf, I dug up some questions to a few old questions

If I want to check the balances of some new addresses(*), do we need to re-fetch block filters again?

- Yes, simply because the filters are not stored.

Is a retrieved filter specific to the addresses I'm interested in?

- Of course not. That would defy the privacy benefits, as you would have to provide your addresses to an external party. The only input to a filter retrieve is only the block hash.

Why are filters not stored?

- Simply to save space, in most cases they are not needed again.

How big is a block filter?

- According to a doc I found, typically between 2-6 kB.

Note: if during scan we find new used addresses, and we generate extra addresses due to the gap limit, the extra addresses can be added without needing to rescan. Provided we assume the new addresses would be used in subsequent blocks only.

Back to BitAxe:

Having seen some miners in the past, it's amazing that this thing just works!

- super easy setup (Wifi-based)

- status display and status page (built-in web page)

- configurabilty (freq and voltage levels)

--> just amazing 🔥 nostr:npub1ql2zzp3g6yndgz05js7wdc4qkr88wkyne5nw2cc7csrtzqs0yeesgwrxya
