Bots usually live in metal boxes, but I've seen some wild stuff at LAN parties in my day.
Umbrel is 3rd party, as are all node packages. Raspberry Pis don't come with an OS installed. The closest thing to 'default' would be "Raspberry Pi OS", which is a standard Linux environment. If that is the case, I suggest you start exploring your other options before going too far, as switching packages means restarting the blockchain download. And I suggest you try Start9. Umbrel is good too, but Start9 has the best features imo. These packages will provide you with a proper GUI web interface that you can access over your LAN, with '(free) app stores' to add server features with a few clicks. Building your own is a good learning experience, so if thats the route you go, that's good. But even then, you'll probably want to switch over eventually.
“LAN slide”. You might be accidentally correct. This election was hacked.
They're wholesome, can't wait for the planned LAN parties hehe
Yeah, choose an internal 2 GByte SSD. You install the OS onto it using your USB drive (you have to boot from it) along with all the other data that is needed. Regarding the mouse and monitor, if at all you need to connect it just for the setup. After that you control everything via Web GUI (or SSH when there are issues). All in all and in the end the machine stands near your router with just a LAN cable and a power cable connected.
search DarlenPRO exploit or you can refactoring the bitcoin core codes (maybe version 0.3.24) to be vulnerable against OpenSSL released 2011 bug (e.g.: padding oracle, timing attack etc). compile the codes, deploy and attack it in your LAN environment. I think this approach is better than using brute force (hashcat etc.).
I am saying that quote is talking about the setup of a mining farms LAN network. Satoshi is not saying there's going to be one node on the internet for Bitcoin
Do you understand what a LAN network is lol
>decentralized is every user **mining on their phone or laptop**. Bitcoin today is a hollow shell of the **original vision**. Oh boy! Lets get right into it! What is really the original vision from Satoshi himself? >*Only people trying to create new coins would need to run* *network nodes. At first, most users would run network nodes, but as the network grows beyond a certain point,* ***it would be left more and more to specialists with server farms of specialized hardware****. A server farm would only need to have one node on the network and the rest of the LAN connects with that one node.* **From: Satoshi Nakamoto** Subject: Bitcoin P2P e-cash paper [Date: November 3, 2008 at 01:37:43 UTC](https://satoshi.nakamotoinstitute.org/emails/cryptography/2/)
100% do not use any Microsoft product for this. If you're absolutely set on doing it, disconnect LAN and use notepad++ or something
I have a wallet that is 'mostly cold' (proper cold is a computer that can't talk to the internet). The machine it is on does talk to the internet, but the wallet might only be opened once every few months to sync with the full node I'm running. That wallet is configured to only talk to my local node, and ends up syncing as fast as my CPU can handle because of LAN speeds. That wallet also runs in pruned mode. So, I don't build wallet support into the node, because the wallet runs elsewhere and uses the full node as it's trusted data source. I've never heard of umbrel/start9/etc. But I'm also the sort of lunatic who learned how to install and configure Openstack by hand, rather than use something 'simple' like packstack. So...if you're after noob-friendly, I'm the wrong guy. :p Note: Openstack is a completely different project that is not in the crypto space at all. It was (at the time, if not currently) monstrously complicated to get working in a full setup. The advantage of a pruned node is reduced disk space needs. Instead of needing ~800GB for the full blockchain, you'd only need, say, 10GB (the chainstate DB will always take up a few GB, but you can configure the prune to only keep the, say, last 4GB of blocks). I should explain that. A bitcoin wallet has two databases. * It has the blockchain database, which contains all the data for every block (unless in pruned mode) that was ever mined. * It contains the chainstate DB, which is a database of which blocks contain transactions relevant to the address(es) inside the wallet. And some other misc metadata I'm not too knowledgeable about. The chainstate DB will be 2-3GB last time I checked, and you can't make it smaller. It is vital to wallet operations. If it gets deleted, it can be rebuilt (assuming you still have your wallet file), but rebuilding it requires re-scanning the entire blockchain. On a pruned mode node, that means re-downloading and processing the entire blockchain again. On a full node, that means re-reading all the blocks from disk and processing them again (just a read operation + math). Because even a pruned mode-node read every block at one point in time, it is no less secure than a full node. There are theoretical attacks that you could *maybe* pull off where you corrupt the chainstate DB in a way that couldn't be done with a full blockchain, but nobody's proven those out and it's unlikely they ever will. As stated, the only real 'reason' for pruned mode is to save disk space. Running a full node is about being useful to others. Hosting a full copy of the blockchain for others to download (because I have good internet) and keeping a full copy for myself in case my wallet needs to re-scan it for whatever reason. I like to tinker, so I ended up re-creating my chainstate DB like 10x. The average user probably won't ever need that. I also, personally, sleep better at night knowing I have all the blocks to refer to, and don't have to trust computed intermediates in the chainstate DB. But that's mostly a placebo, I suspect, rather than a real benefit. Archive Node / blockchain explorer: https://blockchair.com/ is one of many examples. You can type in any address, transaction ID, etc, and get information about it. When people say "X address has 100,000 BTC" that's how they know. Basically, on an archive node, the blocks are exploded out in such a way that you can search by any field within them, rather than being condensed down to the bare minimum information needed for the bitcoin network/wallets to operate. As I said, unless you have a specific need, this is not something you should worry about. But I did want you to understand what it is and why it exists.
Yeah, either your LAN or via Tor. But definitely does not require a separate monitor, keyboard or mouse. Just follow this walkthrough: https://youtu.be/Fa9AvF4jk1o Start9 is also pretty good.
Those were people from the 90s having a LAN party
They probably just had an epic LAN party.
95% chance it was a LAN party and the owner doesn't know what that even is.
It was more than likely they were just having a LAN party.
I like Start 9 but moved on to run Bitcoin core as it’s annoying not to be able to connect through clear net on LAN. Especially on an iPhone which is useless with TOR. Been waiting for over a year for Start 9 to sort this out but it’s still ongoing. As a result I would recommend trying another node like Raspiblitz or the other recommended ones here.
No. It was a program that aggregated EVERYONE’S data on their computers they wanted to share and introduced a GUI so you could search it. With the amount of students on the UConn network I could get just about any movie or album I wanted. Someone had it. And it used the UConn network infrastructure to transfer so it wasn’t limited by internet speeds (which were slow as FUCK in the year 2000). They were LAN transfers. The University tried many many times to shut it down, but it was just a fancy GUI for network shares. They couldn’t turn off network sharing for the entire university, so there was nothing they could do.
The internet is just one huge LAN party
Dude... If the internet crashes... The last thing you're going to be worried about is your investments. Terrible perspective. Bitcoin can also exist outside of the Internet, in fact its probably more apocalyptic resistant than standard money... As long as there's a mining node that has the code for the blockchain hypothetically in a bunker in the swiss alps or something... it could be revived and as long as you had a way of connecting to that network possibly with a LAN connection you could make transfers on the Blockchain still... Take this with a pinch of salt because the technicalities are a bit beyond me but from what I understand it has this potential. Therefore all you need is a computer with power and not necessarily the internet.
So much disinformation in this post, but this guy is correct. Transactions would be fine, if you can afford an extra up to 44 minutes of delay (22 to submit to Earth, then wait for it to be mined and 22 more to get the first confirmation). We might have to add a UDP-based version of the P2P protocol to Bitcoin, because TCP is not very tolerant of huge lag. Lightning Network should largely be fine. Two nodes on Mars, after opening a channel between them (which would involve Earth), would be able to transact instantly as long there is LAN/Intranet on Mars. Mining would have to stay on Earth, however. For mining efficiency, the network relies on a new block being distributed throughout the network within seconds. Rarely does a block take more than 44 minutes (longest round-trip for Mars), giving a Martian miner a chance (would have more chances when closer but still mostly a waste of energy).
