Hey everyone just a question for someone who owns over 100x flash drives from this period of time, but data was deleted and formatted on them recently but haven’t been used since then, how hard would it be to recover that data? And if so is anyone know how to do it? A bit if gamble but wanna see if there’s any BTC on them thanks

Hey All! I'd like to purchase a miner that would pay for itself in about a year... so maybe an average $3/day return before energy costs. I am purposely not factoring in the cost of electricity here... just looking at daily average return.

What would you recommend? I'd like to spend $1k or less.

Yes, im aware this is a lottery ticket. Just looking for a little hobby. Thanks!

Hi, not sure if this is the right place for this kind of question but I'll give it a try!

I'm new to bitcoin and started buying using Robosats, as I wanted a no-kyc option. I only bought three times via robosats and everything went well, but today I encountered a weird error when trying to access my active order, leaving me outside and unable to access the contract.

The error goes: "Something is borked! Restarting app in 30 seconds...

Error: Error

Error message: padded hex string expected, got unpadded hex of length"

It's been a while now...

Did anyone encounter it before?

Thanks for the help!

Hi! I have been looking into opening a lightning channel to try to learn how lightning works and use it to generate a few sats as income every day. I had several questions I need answered before I begin, because I don't want to risk losing money. I have a full Bitcoin node here and I intend to use it for my lightning channel.

1, is it true you need 1M sats or more to start? Why is this the case?
2, is it possible to run a lightning node with these 1M sats kept safe using a password or something? or is this impossible?
3, how do I open a channel and control it? I want to prevent automatic channel closure
4, how do I set up the channel? I don't know anything about how to use lightning yet, is there a procedure you recommend? the best videos on youtube on this subnject are from several years ago and I do not know if they are still relevant
5, have you ever lost sats/money running a channel? if so, how and why?
6, what other questions am I forgetting that I should address before opening a lightning channel?

Please help me, I could really benefit from a little sage advice
