Bitcoin

In the Midwest USA an Upstream Data Hash Generator is consuming waste methane to power bitcoin miners, giving the producer a mean to sell gas they otherwise couldn’t.

The most notable changes:

• bitcoind used to listen on 127.0.0.1:8334 by default. If you use Tor for incoming connections, you have to manually specify bind=127.0.0.1:8334=onion in config
• unix sockets can now be used to communicate with Tor or other proxy, and MQ traffic.
• New mempool policies has been implemented to patch some attack vectors for chains of unconfirmed transactions, especially in relation to lightning network channels and similar contracts.
• TRUC (Topologically Restricted Until Confirmation, BIP 431) can now be used with transaction version 3 (now considered standard) instead of RBF.
• Full RBF (Replace By Fee) is now enabled by default
• RHEL 8 and Ubuntu 18.04 are now unsupported due to minimum required glibc version bump.

Some nice changes here, three of note:

• private channels with LND is functioning again
• offers has gained BOLT12 support as well
• onion messages now supported by default

for those of you that run CLN, how do you like it?

Some highlights:

• Experimental support for inbound fees was added in #6703, with send support in #6934
• New config option sweeper.maxfeerate added in #7823
• You can use environment variables in lnd.conf now for rpcuser and rpcpass (#8310)

Where can I buy $500 gift cards for amazon.com with cryptocurrency?

When bitcoin topped $70,000 recently, I went to a few gift card outlet websites. But when I actually went to add a $500 gift card for amazon.com to my cart, they said it was "currently unavailable".

Did amazon.com stop selling gift cards to third parties? Or was this a temporary supply problem during the ATH?

Where can I currently buy a few $500 gift cards for amazon.com using cryptocurrency?

Good decision to reverse, but I still hope miners move away from F2Pool and ideally into self-hosting.

Take the back seat, #Lambo. #Ferrari accepts Bitcoin from US customers.
