Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

Good morning Beehaw it is currently 5:30 am in the morning here in Australia Nov 9 2024.
It may not be morning where you are but it is always morning somewhere on Earth. Plus this chat is more of a vibe. Have you been doing any hobbies lately or discovered a new tv show? Maybe you worked on something and want to share it or you recently found something you are passionate about?

Replace by fee is a mechanism where as long as a transaction has not been confirmed yet you can replace it with a new transaction as long as it pays a higher fee but that could cause double spending which is a problem.

Also, in Bitcoin, they say, in order to make sure a transaction has really gone through, you should wait 7 blocks. And therefore, that would be 70 minutes instead of 20 minutes.

I see. Thank you for explaining clearly!

Glad I could help. If you ever decide to start playing with it, send me your wallet address and I will send you a little bit to get started with.

What wallet would you recommend?

[–] shortwavesurfer@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Monero.com which can be downloaded on the iOS App Store or the Google Play Store. It is actually an app and not a web wallet which is what I originally thought when I first heard about it.
