Recovering an old wallet -- was it ever used?

I found my old wallet.dat file on a hard drive, and opened it using pywallet. I'm seeing:

"bestblock": "redacted"

"defaultkey": "redacted",

"keys": [redacted - many are listed, with public, private, etc.],

"names": {redacted},

"pool": [101 different addresses]

"tx": [] <-- Empty array

Does the empty transactions array mean that there was never any money put into it? Or is it worth it to keep sleuthing to see if there's any BTC in there? The debug.log file does contain this at the beginning:

Loading wallet... nFileVersion = XXX fGenerateBitcoins = 0 nTransactionFee = 0 

followed by the addition of those 101 key pools and DNS addresses, but then I'm not seeing any other instances of fGenerateBitcoins, just a long series of got inventory: block XXXX, askfor tx XXX [with values in columns A and B), etc. which I'm guessing are just validating other transactions happening on the chain. There are two Block (blk000X.dat) files also.

Am I SOL or should I keep sleuthing? N00b here, thanks for the input.

The system is trying to stop me

Long story short, I have the Trezor model T. Love it everything is great. Bought $100 worth of bitcoin for a test run, everything went fine. I tried to buy a larger amount and It would not work. Got in touch with my bank and they said that Mastercard (My debit and credit card are both Mastercard) does not allow you to buy crypto currency. The employee told me that the first $100 payment should not have went through and this is why I cannot purchase anymore.

So my question is. If I cannot buy bitcoin with my credit or debit card, how can I purchase large amounts of bitcoin without switching banks?

Is backup cold storage wallet recommended?

Sorry in advance for the dumb question but I've searched all over and have found conflicting answers....

I want to start investing in Bitcoin and the general consensus is that cold storage wallets are the safest way to store your coin rather than on a trading platform like Coinbase for example. I've also seen that people recommend buying 2 cold storage wallets, Ledger X and Ledger S seem to be popular and for the most part trustworthy. Am I correct in that assumption that you should buy one main one and one backup? So buy a Ledger X as my main and Ledger S as the backup? Some comments I read people said you only need one... What's the safest way to go? Is buying 2 overkill? Any insight would help.

Bitcoin is designed very similarly to the three branch system that creates and manages the US Constitution: legislative (developers), executive (miners), and judicial (nodes)

I never thought about it this way, but it's kinda interesting. I wonder if Satoshi intended it this way, or if it's just a common way of thinking about distributed systemic governance.

Bitcoin Cash is not the Bitcoin they know

Bitcoin Cash is is the fiat killer app. Let's stop trying to brand ourselves as the speculative investment Bitcoin Core has become. Market Cap is a by product of what we do. Not the primary measure of success. Adoption of a "cash" coin has better measures of success in my opinion. Unique records of people spending BCH and merchants choosing BCH is a far better measure in my books. Where do you see this happening? How are you promoting adoption? As a developer its easy to code new tools and features. But no one will know the value of those features if we don't keep introducing people to this fiat killer tech.

How do you use cash fusion?

I know how to get it setup in the wallet and fusions will start happening every once in a while, but how do I know what coins have been fused(made anonymous essentially) and which ones haven't? With cash shuffle it showed you how many coins were shuffled and gave you the option to only spend those coins, but with cash fusion there is nothing like that. So again, how do I confidently use cash fusion knowing every bch transaction I send is anonymous?

Marco Polo Describes Chinese Fiat Currency in the 13th century in his book "The Travels" (China was the first country to use fiat)

It is in this city of Khan-balik that the Great Khan has his mint; and it is so organized that you might well say that he has mastered the art of alchemy. I will demonstrate this to you here and now. You must know that he has money made for him by the following process, out of the bark of trees-to be precise, from mulberry trees (the same whose leaves furnish food for silkworms). The fine bast between the bark and the wood of the tree is stripped off. Then it is crumbled and pounded and flattened out with the aid of glue into sheets like sheets of cotton paper, which are all black. When made, they are cut up into rectangles of various sizes, longer than they are broad .... And all these papers are sealed with the seal of the Great Khan.

The procedure of issue is as formal and as authoritative as if they were made of pure gold or silver. On each piece of money several specially appointed officials write other names, each setting his own stamp. When it is completed in due form, the chief of the officials deputed by the Khan dips in cinnabar the seal or bull assigned to him and stamps it on the top of the piece of money so that the shape of the seal in vermilion remains impressed upon it. And then the money is authentic. And if anyone were to forge it, he would suffer the extreme penalty. Of this money the Khan has such a quantity made that with it he could buy all the treasure in the world.

With this currency he orders all payments to be made throughout every province and kingdom and region of his empire. And no one dares refuse it on pain of losing his life. And I assure you that all the peoples and populations who are subject to his rule are perfectly willing to accept these pa-pers in payment, since wherever they go they pay in the same currency, whether for goods or for pearls or precious stones or gold or silver. With these pieces of paper they can buy anything and pay for anything.

Several times a year parties of traders arrive with pearls and precious stones and gold and silver and other valuables, such as cloth of gold and silk, and surrender them all to the Great Khan. The Khan then summons twelve experts, who are chosen for the task and have special knowledge of it, and bids them examine the wares that the traders have brought and pay for them what they judge to be their true value.

The twelve experts duly examine the wares and pay the value in the paper currency of which I have spoken. The traders accept it willingly, because they can spend it afterwards on the various goods they buy throughout the Great Khan's dominions .... Let me tell you further that several times a year a fiat goes forth through the towns that all those who have gems and pearls and gold and silver must bring them to the Great Khan's mint. This they do, and in such abundance that it is past all reckoning; and they are all paid in paper money.

By this means the Great Khan acquires all the gold and silver and pearls and precious stones of all his territories. And all the Khan's armies are paid with this sort of money. I have now told you how it comes about that the Great Khan must have, as indeed he has, more treasure than anyone else in the world. I may go further and affirm that all the world's great potentates put together have not such riches as belong to the Great Khan alone.

P2P questions on operation of Bitcoin Core

I've been playing around with Core, and had a random collection of questions regarding the P2P operations of the protocol. I've looked through some of the source but C++ is not my strongest language. Hopefully someone knows some of the answers off the top of their head.

  1. What whoami info is transmitted when a node connects to a peer, particularly on onion? Since all onion connections happen through the tor service on 127.0.0.1 how do the peers know where to find me? Is the externalip argument and port bindings transmitted to peers (must be right)? And if this info is transmitted, why don't I know the names of onion peers that connect to me, they always show as 127.0.0.1.
  2. How is a peer that listens on a non-default port discovered? When I look at DNS seeding, the DNS digs only give IP addresses. Most of the time hosts listed in a DNS seed DIG are listening on the default port, but is there any way to discover nodes listening on a nondefault port? Are they only discovered when they connect to peers and give their whoami or whatever message that may be.
  3. If I'm connected to a peer, say 1.2.3.4:8333, then that would be an outgoing connection my by tally. Can that peer then turn around and issue and incoming connection to me? Specifically, can I hold both an outgoing and incoming connection to the same peer? Does this create and type of spanning tree violation?
  4. Generally, how soon after a peer connects do the two peers begin to sync their mempools. Is that the first order of business, or is there some random timer that triggers the sync between the peers?
  5. When I issue a sendrawtransaction API call, does that just push the TXN to my own mempool, or does that force a message to all my peers that I have a new TXN to send?

Fun with low fee TXNs on Mainnet

Here's a 0.493 sat/vB TXN I put on mainnet today. You'll have to use the SoChain block explorer to see it though. I give it a 3% chance of getting confirmed, but we'll wait and see. The TXN is a donation to Addy@Bitnodes since I use their seeder for my network herder.

So last month, I voiced the unpopular opinion that node operators should lower the minrelaytxfee setting to allow low-fee TXNs to propagate more freely throughout the network. Then I asked why miners weren't mining 0.999 sat/vB TXNs during idle periods since it should be more profitable than mining no TXNs at all. Finally I wrote a node herder to walk the network looking for node operators that were running minrelaytxfee below the default (1000 sat). After walking about 26% of the network, turns out about 5% of nodes are allowing low fee TXNs.

So in that vein of discussion, I decided to just sign some low-fee TXNs and send them to the 5% of nodes I found and see what happens. To my surprise it showed up on one of the 23 block explorers I tried after broadcasting it. Surprisingly, that comes out to about 5% of explorers accepting low fee TXNs as well. So hopefully 5% or so of the miners will confirm low fee TXNs. We'll see.

BTW, to do this, this is what I did.

  1. Pair my HW wallet to Electrum
  2. Use the paytomany Electrum API to craft a TXN below 1 sat/vB
  3. Import the TXN to sign in Electrum
  4. Ran a full node with minrelaytxfee set to 1 sat (0.001 sat/vB)
  5. Walked the network to find a good number of low-fee peers
  6. Use bitcoin addnode API to herd my node to the low-fee peers I discovered.
  7. Use bitcoin sendrawtransaction API to broadcast TXN

Wait and see if it can propagate to a miner and if a miner will accept it.

BTW, there is a PR to lower the minrelaytxfee in core, but it's dragged on for years. The setting was lowered about every year or so in the early days, but hasn't been touched for many years now.
