Hey everyone,

I’ve put together a new tool for the Bitcoin community: the Learn Bitcoin Glossary: https://www.learnbitcoin.com/glossary

It’s a detailed yet easy-to-use guide covering key Bitcoin terms – think "satoshis," "hashrate," "segwit," and more. Whether you’re just starting out or need a quick reference, it’s designed to help. Take a look and let me know your thoughts – suggestions for additions or improvements are appreciated!

even though I would be proud if I had any connection.

I appreciate that. Please consider yourself a legacy and evangelist for LearnBitcoin.com!

so the question, what are your intentions of using the data beyond tailoring tutorials? are you going to sell that data?

Great question, @franky1! I understand your concern about data privacy. Protecting user data is a core principle behind “Being Your Own Bank,” and it’s equally important for us at LearnBitcoin.com. While we’re based in the US, we’ve taken extra steps to comply fully with GDPR, giving you complete control over the data we store about you and how it’s used.

In a nutshell: we will never sell your data. Our Privacy Policy goes into more detail, but rest assured we only collect the minimal information needed for the site to function smoothly—like your first name and email—and securely store it. We won’t share it with third parties without your explicit permission. If you have any other questions about how we handle privacy, feel free to ask!

...
 i feel weird article with title "First On Chain Transaction" located on the bottom.
...
you may want to make few articles or few first parts of certain article can be seen without account to give them reason to create an account.

Thank you for the feedback, @ABCbits! Our Be Your Own Bank course is designed to be a step-by-step guide for beginners—covering everything from security basics (2FA, password managers, privacy tips) to wallets, private keys, and backups. It ends with your first on-chain transaction from an exchange to your personal wallet, emphasizing “Not your keys, not your coins.”

We do share a public outline for certain tutorials, like the Bitcoin Security Overview, so users can see exactly what’s covered. However, you’re right that offering a glimpse of the actual content can help entice new learners. We’ll keep refining that balance and appreciate your suggestion!

For those who’ve signed up, we’d love to hear what you think of the full course. We have free quizzes, badges for milestones, and downloadable resources to make the learning journey more interactive. If you have any other ideas, let us know—we’re always looking to improve!

Fixed, Thanks!

Why is "Seize Your Crypto Future"? I think it should be Bitcoin future, shouldn't it? Don't connect Bitcoin with shitcoins by the term Crypto.

Thank you for all the feedback and links. The one above was bugging me as well, it's fixed and now reads "Bitcoin" as it should, appreciate your feedback.

...
I'd recommend making the survey optional. Not many people have the attention span to go through 8 questions on a survey - however, seeing as though this is all free, it's a small thing to do to gain access to valuable knowledge.

Thank you for taking a look, this has been a topic of debate amongst our small dev team. When we add the second course, "run your own node," we will split out the sign up process from the course customization questions. Then you will be able to "join" by providing the minimum info and then opt-in to individual courses by taking the survey.

The survey is important because it cutomizes the course for your given situation, things like platform (iOS, Andriod, Desktop), investment ammonut (cold storage vs. mobile wallet), trading sophistication (live order book vs buy now screen) etc...

We truly appreciate all the feedback and look forward to more!

the emphasis should be on 'coins in circulation','coins mined' (maybe include vs the total supply limit(9X% or 0.X% left)).. unless one of the lessons will be to explain & disregard the cap as some sort of $$hoard held somewhere

Thanks! We do plan to have a "supply" deep dive in the future that will go deep on the 21MM. Really appreciate your feedback!


I want to say i like how simple the interface is and the idea that you and your team have brought.

Thanks!

I want to ask if there are other courses that you have organized how will you add them to the list.

Our second course has been chosen to be "Run Your Own Node", currently all the tutorials listed are associated with the "Be Your Own Bank" course. When we add the second course, a new level of navigation will be added to the site to support it.

Also i cant view the Be your own bank tutorial you said is ready or you are still working on it.

The course is personalized to your needs, answer the survey questions to build your personalized track (you will need to provide an email to register) Link: Take the Be Your Own Bank survey

One last time question, does the price of Bitcoin update on real time or is it a stagnant price you put there.

Currently we update the live data on the home page every 15 minutes, our goal is not to be a live ticker....

Truly appreciate your feedback!

can you math?
might want to add average tx size and then do (2sat* size)*$0.0086

Great catch, it is in Statoshi, will get it corrected, appreciate it!

Hey BitcoinTalk fam,

Been around here since the early days—Now, I’m part of a small team launching LearnBitcoin.com, a no-nonsense education hub to help newbies and hodlers alike take control of their BTC. We’re still in pre-launch, and I’d really value your feedback so we can build something the community genuinely supports.

What’s Ready Now:
  • Our first online course: “Be Your Own Bank”: Free beta— covers security basics, buying bitcoin, wallets, private keys, backups, and staying secure. Built for folks who want to ditch exchanges and own their BTC.
Coming Soon:
  • Bitcoin Glossary (in two weels™): Quick lookups for terms like “UTXO” or “HODL.”
  • Bitcoin Units Deep Dive: Sats, milli-BTC, etc.—breaking it down clean.
  • Hardware Wallet Comparison/Reviews: Side-by-side on Trezor, Ledger, Coldcard, etc.
  • Our second course, “Run Your Own Node,” is being developed for the DIY crowd.
  • Loads of other cool content ideas in the pipeline.
What We’re After:
  • Beta Feedback: Test the course/site and tell us what’s missing or off. Too basic? Too dense? You tell us.
  • Partnerships: Run a Bitcoin blog, tool, or project? Let’s talk—guest posts, co-branded guides, or just spreading the word.
  • Pre-Launch Hype: We’re launching soon and want BitcoinTalk’s input to get it right.

Check it out at https://www.learnbitcoin.com and drop your thoughts below, PM me, or submit the contact form on the site.

No ICOs, no tokens, totally free—just education for the Bitcoin faithful. We need your feedback!

Cheers,

WindPath & the LearnBitcoin.com Team
P.S. Been around here since 2014—excited to be contributing something back!

Anyone know how to specify the block filter index for the new getindexinfo rpc?

Code:
bash-5.0# bitcoin-cli getindexinfo
{
  "txindex": {
    "synced": true,
    "best_block_height": 771336
  },
  "coinstatsindex": {
    "synced": true,
    "best_block_height": 771336
  },
  "basic block filter index": {
    "synced": true,
    "best_block_height": 771336
  }
}
bash-5.0# bitcoin-cli getindexinfo blockfilterindex
{
}
bash-5.0# bitcoin-cli getindexinfo basicblockfilterindex
{
}
bash-5.0# bitcoin-cli getindexinfo txindex
{
  "txindex": {
    "synced": true,
    "best_block_height": 771336
  }

CryptoKube with 34 Spondoolies SP31.  Shipping container data center


http://i.imgur.com/wZcQWEF.jpg


Perfection!!
more foto

From the Spondoolies thread:

Edit: The vid is worth watching...

The following is probably the most professional modular / container build I've seen in the industry (disclaimer: we didn't test it yet)
The only reservation I have is the price.

Video tour: CryptoKube video tour
Brochure: CryptoKube brochure
Site: http://www.cryptokube.com/
Contact: info@kubedata.com

The options that can be added would include:

Monitoring and management - KubeOS to monitor all servers and infrastructure with alerting and device management
Environmental monitoring - door sensors, temperature, humidity, dew point, airflow, smoke alarm, water sensors
Automation - fully automated fan control based on temperature feedback to minimize power usage and adjust to environmental conditions.
Remote Power cycle of PDUs
Supplemental cooling - evaporative cooling unit bolts on in front of filters for locations with ambient temperature above 30C
Firewall
Automatic Transfer Switch - to switch between two different power feeds
Novec 1230 fire suppression system
Security Cameras
Security Card access control - Extra trackable security on each door
VESDA fire detection system - Early warning industrial fire detection

All of these options would feed back into the KubeOS system and can all be monitored, graphed, and alerted on threshold breaches.  The system also has two way communication and is capable of basic management of devices in the data center like remote power cycling, turning lights on and off, unlocking doors remotely or adjusting fan speeds.

If you design deployment solutions for Bitcoin mining, please contact me.

5 antminer S1 units, cooled by a pair of Cougar 90cfm fans and running approx 460GH/430W  (still working on tuning, 2 units are only running 70GH). Runs off a single CS650M

ps: temps are up around 60-65C, and the hardware seems fine with that. I plan to get it in a cooler location soon though to drop temps 5-10C


Very cool efficient setup!

Edit: What are your clock settings?

All of that would fit in 1 42U rack. Why wouldn't you rack-mount rack-mountable servers?

Why concentrate the heat and power when you have a large clean open warehouse to fill?

There are just a few of my miners, I have about 25 S3 and also S3+... They are sitting on a concrete block, and then for extra cooling they are on top of wire racks. The wire racks are also there in case there would ever be any water. All electrical is 20 amp drops (one per side of the 4 port box). The blue stuff is BlueMax waterproofing...



Always liked your setup. My miners are not in the basement because of leaks, how effective is that BlueMax stuff?

Bluemax is awesome. It can be used on the walls as I have here, or you can use it on outside foundation as well. It acts like rubber and actually can expand and contract/stretch. My basement has 2 sump pumps and a backup water powered pump as well. The basement is always pretty dry now, but I am the type who leaves nothing to chance... I had a radon fan installed, and plexiglass lids put on the sump pumps. The gray one you see is the water powered pump, below that is a Zoler Die case metal pump.... I plan to use 2" XPS on the walls and then use Delta FL on the floors.... For any leaks, remove old cement and use Hydraulic Cement before coating with blue...


Thanks, I'll see if I can track some down and give it a try!

those EVGA psu's are rubbish. I had a 1600 that thought it was a new year bonfire.
...
the OEM psu has been replaced with a 650 corsair thingymajigger.

Corsair is a great PSU, I also use EVGA 1300's (3 S3's per), what happened with yours? I've been happy with them...

@smracer your setup looks so clean  Roll Eyes

Some people argued in another thread that you can't have miners placed like that, without separating hot and cold air. Looks like they were wrong Cheesy

I have a 15,000CFM upblast fan above all the miners taking the heat out.   Smiley



Man with the summer heat here in the North East US I wish I had a 15k CFM vent fan, here are 8 Ant S3s breathing out a window Wink

...saving space

I like the setup may I ask what powersupply that is using the red cables?  Looks like a corsair beside Smiley.  But i was not sure on red cabled one but looks nice.

I had 2 spare Corsair 650s, they power 1 Ant S3 each, might be able to supply a 3rd Ant between the two Corsairs, but no space in the window Wink

The 12 red modular PCI-E cables (6 each PSU) connect to two EVGA 1300s each powering 3 Ants.

All the Ants have different configs (settled on most efficient after testing for each Ant) and run between 3.8 and 4 TH/s combined on a local P2Pool node.
