Θα επανέλθω με νεότερα αλλά απαντάω και στον @alani123 και στον @Ultegra134:

Νομίζω πρέπει να κάνεις έναρξη επαγγέλματος για τα signature campaigns. Διότι είναι ουσιαστικά σαν να κάνεις δουλειά διαφημιστή. Από 'κει και πέρα, θέλει να κρατάς αρχείο με ημερομηνία και αξία συναλλαγής τόσο σε ευρώ όσο και αξία σε BTC.

Έτσι φορολογείσαι:
(α) επί του ετήσιου εισοδήματος κάθε τέλος χρόνου.
(β) επί της υπεραξίας που βγαίνει με FIFO από την αξία όταν το έλαβες, με την αξία όταν το πούλησες.

Οπότε αν λάβεις:

1/1/2025 - 0.01BTC με αξία 100.000€/BTC = 1000€
1/6/2025 - 0.01BTC με αξία 150.000€/BTC = 1500€
1/8/2025 - 0.01BTC με αξία 125.000€/BTC = 1250€

θα φορολογηθείς επί των 3750€ που έλαβες.

Αν πουλήσεις, θα πρέπει να εφαρμοστεί FIFO και να φορολογηθείς με ποσοστό επί του κέρδους σου.

It didn't. Should it?

If your node isn't running, can't you simply drag & drop the updated blockchain to the other node's database directory? Won't this simply replace the missing files?

Depression? What the hell? Me? Depression? You can't be serious... Depression is for the "crazy". I am great!

Yeah! That's how it started.

I'm not a psychiatrist, I'm not a psychologist. Therefore, I won't talk about what depression is and what it isn't. I'll just share my own experiences.

I have everything, don't I? I got a family, a good job, some good friends. Why do I suffer? Why does this monster keep eating my soul?

Well, as I said, it's a situation that can't be explained easily, because sometimes it feels completely unreasonable. But it happens. Depression is not a binary (0/1) situation. It varies from person to person and it can get better or worse, if we act or if we stay idle, respectively.

During my life, I've been constantly struggling with random, strong thoughts that were showing me that my mind was "spinning" a lot more than it should. I was the over-thinking kind of person. These thoughts wouldn't let me sleep and wouldn't let me enjoy. I've never had suicidal thoughts, which is common with depression, but with me it wasn't like that.

Luckily, I decided to visit a psychiatrist for my situation. I couldn't live with myself. Literally!

There are 2 things that have helped me:
1. the people I love
2. the doctor

Although some people refer to medication as a taboo, I can guarantee that many people suffering from depression wouldn't have been with us now, if they hadn't got medical help.

If anything I've said rings you a bell, then, my only advice is that you should visit someone to help you. And, I want you to know that you're not alone!

I guess both of you assume that the dbcache will be adjusted accordingly, otherwise I suppose 8GB vs 32GB doesn't make a difference, if you only use 600 MB of it.

How about this case:

Although I get your point, I kinda disagree.

I think what makes a difference is:
1. the RAM. If you've got enough RAM you can fit in more data during initial blockchain download. This will ensure that you're going faster than someone else who is limited with half of your RAM.
2. the bandwidth. Obviously you need a good internet connection.
3. the type of storage medium. SSDs are faster than HDDs and NVMEs are faster than SSDs.

So, these 3 things exist on most modern (non-gaming) computers. At least I've got a decent laptop that fits most of these criteria. If I had an NVME, I believe I could decrease the IBD to 1/2 of the time.

To be absolutely honest with you, I'm lucky enough not to have very urgent payments that I can't process otherwise, in a scenario where my Core nodes are totally destroyed, suddenly. I'm just lazy to wait for 3 days 



I am running a pruned node, just for hot wallet purposes with small amounts.


Haha, yeah I feel you. That's what I'd like to avoid.

It's not only the bandwidth restrictions, but, isn't it also a pain when you need to wait 3 days to have a fully functional node up & running again?


Can you elaborate on this please? Computing and storing checksums will certainly help with integrity, but how will they help in speed?


Yeah, that's cool. I could also add an encryption password on the compressed file, instead of messing with encrypting the entire disk which takes time. So, one layer of encryption on the .tar file, another on the wallets themselves.

Hello,

I'm running a couple of full nodes, but I'll have to stick with one now.

I'm thinking about maintaining a full backup of the entire blockchain on an HDD, in case I ever need to set up a new node, so that I don't have to do the IBD again.

More precisely, I'm thinking about :
1. backing up the entire ~/.bitcoin/ directory, with everything that it includes (blocks, chainstate, wallets etc).
2. keeping the HDD fully encrypted.
3. make periodical update backups (I don't know how often).

Questions:
(a) Is it a good thought? If not, why isn't it a good thought.
(b) What's the ideal process?

Note: The wallets are also separately backed up on other fully encrypted drives. So this won't be my only backup.

Yeah, I figured, thanks for clarifying.


That's exactly how I'm doing it (using the GUI version). The output of this command (i.e what's actually saved) is a single wallet.dat file. When I read your post above, talking about backing up the database directory, I felt like asking, just for clarity.

I'm running Core 29.1 but I don't have it. I guess it's an old directory that's not used anymore? The reason I'm asking is that I wanna make sure that keeping simply the wallet.dat for backup is enough.

Sorry for jumping in, but as a much newer bitcoiner (I started 3-4 years ago), what is the database directory?

According to @achow101 it's deleted since version 0.19 and onwards, but what was its purpose? What did it include?

And more importantly, for newer versions, isn't it true that we only need to backup the wallet.dat files?

That's an old thread, but since nobody mentioned it, Sparrow allows you to consolidate your UTXOs without copy-pasting now.

If you have a wallet open, you can click on Pay To -> Consolidation and it will automatically generate an address from your own wallet.


You will need to check the address to make sure you're not having bad times.

If you've verified the authenticity of the software, chances are that the only devastating thing that can happen is if Sparrow has a bug. But you haven't verified it, then there may be an intentional worm that generates other wallets' addresses.

Ok, I'll ask... Have you implemented a time-scheduled job to send the transaction and the post, using a random seconds offset (minus/plus), to make it look like you're a human?

Hi Trevoid. I'm reviving this thread, to ask whether you've had any news on this case.
