    Sell-only BTMs taking over?

    Posted: 29 Sep 2018 11:42 PM PDT

    For about a year, my city has had 5 or 6 BTMs, and they all had the options of either buying, or selling bitcoin which is/was awesome. But now, today when I went to sell some btc, I ended up driving to each location and they have ALL switched to a new type of machine (all different, independently owned machines) that only allows the purchase of bitcoins.

    Is this a trend that's happening elsewhere? Personally I think it is stupid as hell, especially because they are all selling at least 2k above market price.

    Discuss these idiotic new machines, I'd love to hear some thoughts about what's going on with this.

    Letter to those who "like blockchain and not bitcoin"

    I have access to a large storage facility with free solar powered electricity, should I start a crypto mining farm?

    Posted: 29 Sep 2018 06:33 PM PDT

    As per the title I have access to an industrial scale storage facility and have a massive credit of free electricity due to a significant amount of solar panel installations. I'm also a programmer and have a fairly basic understanding of building computer systems for gaming. I don't really know much about btc/crypto mining at all, but I think I have a good enough coincidence of needs to warrant really learning about the process and possibly starting my own mining operation.

    ​

    With free electricity surely starting a mining facility would be a fairly riskless opportunity? Of course there are a million other variables at stake that need to be considered and I really want to get peoples opinions on what they may be and where exactly I should start, if it's even worth starting at all. I guess my tl;dr question aimed at miners is, if you had free reigned access to a large facility with massive amounts free electricity what would you do to make the operation as profitable and riskless as possible?

    ​

    Any input is greatly appreciated,

    Does BIP156/Dandelion require inbound peers?

    Posted: 29 Sep 2018 09:25 PM PDT

    https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0156.mediawiki

    Dandelion routing during the stem phase requires notions of inbound peers, outbound peers, Dandelion destinations, and Dandelion routes. Inbound peers consist of all currently connected peers that initiated the peer connection

    It seems this is case, does this mean that if you are running a full node and want your transaction to go through Dandelion "protocol" you need to open the bitcoind port on your router (or connect through Tor and allow hidden service connections)?

    Has anyone considered crowd-funding the purchase of the AsicBoost patent for intent of open-sourcing it?

    Posted: 30 Sep 2018 02:08 AM PDT

    Seems this could be multi-fold beneficial:

    1. Remove miners' incentive to use AsicBoost covertly, and without segwit-activation, thus increasing global segwit adoption.

    2. Desuade the transfer of hashpower to the inferior BCH, possibly re-uniting the eco-system to some extent.

    3. Saving electricity costs and show the derisive media / eco-nauts that Bitcoin can make strides for sustainability.

    4. This could be a prime use-case for the B Foundation *see below

    The only downside I can see is reduction of the irretrievable sunk cost due to electricity expenditure, but please contribute if I am missing something.

    The bottleneck of Lightning Network right now is wallets!

    Posted: 30 Sep 2018 04:00 AM PDT

    When is myceleum and Samourai Wallet going to get in the game for LN? Right now there is ONLY 1 wallet that is mainnet now and that is 'bitcoin lightning wallet'. eclair i don't think you can even receive funds on. I got APPS developed already but without main wallets integrating LN I'm wonder if I should luanch them as they are LN only baed.
