I tested the dice rolls on three different seed generators and they all had the same seeds generated... so that was my verification. Still not good enough?

Xor is a standard computational algorithm. I don't think there's any entropy in doing an xor. It's more like doing basic addition and subtraction. Maybe some one else can chime in if I'm wrong about that

2026-08-02 02:36:50 UTC

- reply

I don't think there's such a thing. If you used dice rolls it does not use the built in random generator at all. It uses a standard algorithm that all the other seed generators use too (the seed words you get are reproducible given the same dice rolls). If you used the dice rolls then used the password generator to make a passphrase you should still be ok as the important part is the seeds and those used the dice rolls as the entropy. But you still may want to change the passphrase and move the funds.

I verified dice rolls as not being compromised by inputting them into three different seed generators (including the cold card) and they all generated the same seed so... not compromised.

If you don’t see it in the conf file then there’s a hard coded default that is automatically set by Bitcoin core. They bump that default value up on every new release. During reindexing of assumevalid blocks I see low cpu usage. I’m not sure what the bottleneck is there. Nothing in my system seems to be maxed out during that assumevalid part of re-indexing/IBD.

2026-01-14 02:55:40 UTC

- reply

Reindex is basically an IBD minus the downloading of the blocks. Bitcoin Core just re-reads the existing blk files from disk instead of downloading them. Chain state, undo files and indexes are all recreated from scratch. Things might have been optimized in the newer versions but I remember reading that IBD could sometimes actually be quicker than a re-index.
I was testing v30 now and it does seem to use all the available processors more evenly than I thought but I need to see how it looks when it gets past blocks from 2020. That’s where all the ordinal transactions started happening. Wondering if those segwit transactions are processed in a single thread.

I think 6-8 hours is about as fast as you’re going to get. Not sure if you saw that GitHub link I posted but it looks like they’re working on more parallelization for post v30 and one comment said it gives a 30 to 50% boost in IBD

Script validation is only partially parallelized. So you’ll hit the single thread cpu bottleneck before any other bottleneck on a modern computer with fast Internet connection. That’s what I’ve seen in my testing.

2026-01-13 03:29:45 UTC

- reply

If you look at overall cpu usage it seems low... But verification is a single thread process. So one of the 8 or 12 logical CPU's will be maxed out. Buying the fastest single thread CPU would be upgrade that would make the most difference.
https://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html
GPU's are good for parallel processing not really good at single thread performance. That's why they're never used in Bitcoin nodes.

I don’t think the utxo bloat is as big a deal as it’s made out to be. In my way of thinking… you’re admitting that Bitcoin has a bad design if you think it is a big deal.
During initial block download the loading and unloading of the utxo set from the hard drive is becoming trivial. Segwit and Taproot have now made verification of the chain more cpu intensive. If you think utxo bloat is a very big deal then I think you need to consider those two changes as being bad decisions for Bitcoin. They will save you storage and keep the full size of the blockchain data smaller in exchange for increased cpu usage. I think that is a bigger deal than storage space.
If you’re running a public node or a private node for a business and you need to be able to process/query LOTS of transactions then maybe storing the full utxo set in ram will be beneficial. If you’re running a personal node then I don’t think running the full utxo set in ram is necessary.
What you’re basically looking for is a shortcut, skipping proof of work for the node… i.e. checkpoints. There are several already included in Bitcoin Core.
Have you looked into this project? It’s doing a shortcut on the utxo set to bootstrap IBD.
https://bitcoinops.org/en/topics/utreexo/
Also the project led by Eric Voskuil, libbitcoin, is a full Bitcoin node server/client/wallet that is designed from the ground up. I think it might have the ability to keep the full utxo set in ram. Still a work in progress… they’ve been working on it over 5 years maybe closer to 10.

Just watch the memory usage. It never really gets much over 1gb with the default setting. So there's no way it's keeping the whole utxo set in ram.
At a certain point the bottleneck is not ram swapping (I think going above 16gb dbcache has deminishing returns) but the single thread CPU performance. I don't think you're going to get a performance boost from pruning the utxo set if that's when possible. So even if your pi has 16gb of the ram the poor single thread CPU performance will be the main bottleneck.

Typical 4 year cycle people would say next top is 2029, meaning the next four year cycle starts 2026. So top could be in 2026 and then down for 3 years and then who knows from there.

Bitcoin core by default only keeps around 450mb off the utxo set in ram. So I'm confused about what you're trying to accomplish.

How about this… “discrete blocks of reality” seems like non-starter to me. There being a Planck time, the smallest amount of time measurable, as opposed to continuous time where there no smallest unit of time… Planck time, I would think would make superposition/quantum more possible and not less. Because in those gaps of nothing, anything can happen so anything is possible in the next time tick. Continuous time wouldn’t allow for that.

Reading that made me think of this passage from Watts….
But now, a perfectly logical person would therefore say that the notion of the Self—the Ātman, as the fundamental reality in which everything else exists—is meaningless. And, of course, from a logical point of view it is.
But at the same time, just because something cannot be put into a logical category does not indicate that it isn’t real. The Self, you see, bears somewhat the same relationship to the world as the diaphragm of the speaker in this radio bears to the music you’ve just been hearing. None of the music was about the diaphragm and nobody said anything about there being a diaphragm. The diaphragm, as such, didn’t come into the picture, and yet it was everything in the picture. All those different noises were vibrations of this thin film of metal. So, also, with your eardrum. So, also, with the apparatus of your eyes.
So one might ask, then—just as you say, “Well, what is it on? What is the music on? Is it on tape, is it on a speaker, is it on a drum?” Whatever the variations may be, we can ask the question, “What are you all on? What is all this on?” And the Hindus answer, “It’s on the Self”
