In the bitcoin core app there is a toggle that says RPC server, you need to enable that. But the bitcoin core only works for you and saves your transactions unencrypted on your mac. If you want to have it encrypted, access your node from anywhere or be nice to others and let them use your node as well you would need something like an electrum server, additionally to the bitcoin core software. And when you do that it is easier to run a tiny linux machine or a VM on your mac with for instance Umbrel or some bitcoin node docker. Have a look at umbrel, they even sell the whole thing done. However, you must know that it is more expensive and you trust them to make any node choice for you; on the other hand it is convenient.

Bitcoin core runs on a mac. But then you start with electrum server, etc. And you end up just buying a tiny linux machine that runs all the time. On Mac you can also have a VM run (in for instance UTM) of Umbrel... that sets up everything for you and you just need to open some ports on your router.

Do you post this reply on wrong thread or intentionally being off-topic?
1. OP never state he own any Mac device.
2. OP never mention or ask anything about connecting to Bitcoin node, so why do you mention RPC?
3. Other full node and application that use RPC-JSON protocol still can connect to your full node, even if FDE is enabled. So i don't understand why you mention Electrum server.

It does have serious consequences for labour. it imo must be paired with significant mitigating measures to peg wages and middle/lower class assets and savings to the impending rise in inflation. Which as an action will actually exacerbate inflation further, requiring you to ultimately backstop your treasury bonds with aggressive tax policy on the rich or as I prefer backing of hard assets like Bitcoin. Bitcoin inflates, it's algorithmic inflation. and it could be outperformed by fiat for over a decade and I'd be still using it. In fact that's what I am explicitly prepared for out of concern for the next blocksize wars a decade+ bear market. 


I haven't heard you come correct here about much. You can identify the abuses of fiat and the use case of protecting yourself from fiat with Bitcoin. That's about the most I can credit you with. We only have a little window into who you are and what you think and to be honest a lot of what you show us is this kind of tantrum about irrelevant things like feelings.

It comes with being right about lots of stuff and having an extremely high degree of confidence in my awareness and intimacy with the context, the BIP processes and the specific BIP you are talking about, the author and their motivations, Bitcoin itself, as well as a fair grasp on the boarding subjects of linguistic language drift and currency denominations. I am arrogant. That's because I'm confident you cannot challenge my argument. And you haven't. You have chosen to focus on your hurt feelings and my refusal to empathize with you.
