Let me know when everything is working again, for a full node, which port do I need to open at my router?
In default configuration file, port=28453 and upnp=true
You can change these as needed, if the node doesn't automatically show up in a router interface. If UPnP is enabled, its status will also be in the node logs.
Re: Can true data ownership be achieved in crypto realistically?
We here at Blacknet are looking to incorporate an oblivious message retrieval technology for privacy of lightweight wallets. I recently wrote a paper. You can peek at the introduction section regarding overall idea, and later on it goes into nuances of lattice cryptography. That being said, it's important to consider post-quantum privacy, because transaction history is replicated in peer-to-peer network.

It's about how we can leverage homomorphic encryption for privacy of lightweight wallets, or rather a quite specific question that arises somewhere there.
Probably, we'd want to encode a zero-knowledge proof alongside public key in an address, but so far post-quantum proofs look too large for this. I made up following as a possible alternative:
BlackLemon: Snake-eye Resistance with Short Secrets
It restricts lightweight wallets to a single receive address, however almost doesn't touch anything else.

Perhaps you overestimate the power of proofs of knowledge. These can attestate that you know something in a mathematical sense, and that's about it. So far we don't have such a connection to physical objects.
For instance, a proof of running a text recognition program can't differentiate between genuine and edited photos. Well, some belive that if photocameras outputted proofs alongside images, the situation would change.
Anyways, I have a few words regarding zero-knowledge applications in the context of cryptocurrencies.

If H = µG then µ is so-called discrete logarithm. The one who knows it can open commitment to an arbitrary value. And in particular, if H = G then µ = 1.
On the other paw, the purpose of this additional point is to ensure a hiding property. If we simplify the equation by removing it (and thus not using the masking field element), the commitment is still binding to the message, but doesn't hide it due to the lack of masking by randomness.

The good thing about such a cryptocurrency is that it does not require any "core" software to interact with the network. The only "rule" that exists is what a preimage should look like, everything else is irrelevant. There is no block reward, no difficulty adjustment, no block size limit.... it all happens chaotically like water flowing downhill.
The overall purpose of this exercise is to try to imagine a cryptocurrency with as few arbitrary design decisions as possible.
Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are basically just hundreds of arbitrary decisions cobbled together into something that works. It works, so I can't be that critical of it, but I think we can do A LOT better if we rethink from first principles, and try to avoid arbitrary design features.

Maybe you'll like an idea of consensusless cryptocurrency. Instead of consensus mechanism, it relies on quantum unclonability to solve double-spends. Although personal quantum computers are in a galaxy far, far away... there are theoretical works towards, for example, https://arxiv.org/abs/1711.02276
Version 0.2.14 fixes a few glitches in wallet and enhances I2P support. I'll see how to make the website more clear respectively such questions.
I recommend at least version 0.2.11 released in 2021. In fact, some older versions are compatible with current network too, but can work not so stable in practice. Also it's the minimum version that can work with current Tor network.
This info is on download and anonymity pages.
I'm not the owner so i don't know all the details for the exchange request form. Also a Coingecko listings helps i think.
I don't target everything, certainly not something like this

I already installed the new version on my Raspberry, I already tried to run my Raspberry as full node, port forwarding actvated but I don't find my full node, do I need more details in my config file?
Not sure if you don't see incoming p2p connections, can't access UI/RPC from other computer, or the actual situatuon is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQgh69lpnjU

Got to learn the power of ZK. For example, dark pool is sorta opposite problem: ZK is about our own secrets, but there the secret is what others wanna buy/sell. Nevertheless, ZK-PCD is the piece of puzzle that I was missing.
Right now my goal is to learn about lattice-based cryptography. Probably it's more known from the topic of quantum-resistance, but recent publications indicate we may be interested because of other reasons. And if it plays out, quantum-resistance is a nice bonus on top of that.

Solo & Pool are the three methods of noncustodial staking. As you are familiar with mining, try to imagine that a wallet is ASIC, then the analogy should become clear.
BTC doesn't have staking in the sense of proof of stake. In fact, words like staking and farming sometimes are used to mean whatever. When I stated conceptualizing what and why Zero-Knowledge Finance, then described three types of activity as staking vs leasing vs lending. Interested in opinions about this.

Noncustodial staking can be pretty easy. Details vary between cryptos, following is how it works in Blacknet, and it also should help with understanding in general.
Solo staking requires to run your own full node and hold some amount in the wallet. Check hardware requirements and install the computer program. Of course, periodically look for updates and that everything is OK.
Leasing to pool is the easiest way, but doesn't promote the decentralization of network. Basically, it requires only a lightweight wallet. We used to have a few pools, but at the moment there's none public.
Operating pool is an option too, however our stakepool software is not beginner-friendly.

Which kind of lock, maybe a hash time lock?
Rapberry 3 has a few models, and a difference in hardware is crucial.
512 MiB RAM is really tough. An operating system uses the memory on its own, let's say 128 MiB. Also you need some memory for a disk cache and whatever the OS periodically does in background, let's say plus 128 MiB. Perhaps you'll want to add I2P and/or Tor on top of that.
With 1 GiB RAM, you can run Blacknet node and use it for solo staking... until we implement a hardfork with zero-knowledge proofs, then it's too likely to not fit too.

Re: Would you invest in an interplanetary-scale space technology stack?
Thanks for exhaustive and interesting reply. I haven't heard of Heim's theory.
Bitcoin may or may not transform a half of matter-energy (Can we reduce the energy consumption of POW? And whether it is necessary), but yours sounds like an existential threat.

on the other hand I know someone who can do something and get my eth back(eth which I bought these tokens with),for that matter he need the control (with my wallet secret phrase).
They don't need your passphrase to simply send coins. If they need to send a custom transaction from your wallet, it still can be signed on your own computer. If they want to confirm that address of yours, use arbitrary message signing. Don't ETH wallets support all of this?

I'm sorry, this style of writing is too amusing to refrain.
Androids and satellites aren't among my interests. Rather a supermutant eight-tentacle megamorphic DNA constructor to increase intelligence of the rest of zoo. And time travel too.
Practical applications of the famous Japanese work titled Quantum Energy Teleportation have a potential to create space-time regions of negative energy. What is your plan of action, if you'll be accidentally creating traversible wormholes?
A beaver knows why hypercomputation is useful, but how do you connect it to qualia, behaviour and decisions?
A question related to intelligence and conscious is free will. Will your androids strictly follow commands or do whatever they want?
