peerflix VS Bitcoin

When I used a Chromecast, I was fond of an even more direct method. I used a Node CLI called "peerflix" [0] to stream a video file while downloading its torrent (so there wasn't even a need to wait). Then I just opened my browser to the local network address where peerflix was hosting the h264 playlist, and used the Cast button to stream it to my device (which I believe technically means Chromecast "takes over" downloading the playlist, rather than my laptop pushing the video to it, so I just needed to use a URL with the LAN IP of my computer).

At some point I also used a tool to stream to the Chromecast directly from the CLI (castnow?) - or maybe Peerflix even had this option, I can't remember. Nowadays I prefer to watch content on my phone in bed, which is why I like Jellyfin, because the iOS client can easily stream a video I downloaded onto my computer.

It actually use peerflix as torrent streamer, github

peerflix - Streaming torrent client.

This is something I've repeated like 10 times on this subreddit, but you don't need to wait for a torrent to finish to start watching it. Literally every torrent client in the past decade supports downloading first piece files first, so you don't have to wait for the download to finish and can start watching it immediately. There's even stuff like peerflix which makes it easier.

Ubuntu/Debian: Install LND: https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/blob/master/docs/INSTALL.md#install-lnd Install Bitcoin Core: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/build-unix.md#linux-instructions

To be able to follow along, you must have both bitcoind and lnd installed.

As mentioned previously, ScriptPubKeys are scripts that embody the locking conditions of bitcoins in a Bitcoin transaction. They are a crucial element of a Bitcoin transaction that specifies the requirements that must be met before an unspent transaction output (UTXO) is used. The ScriptPubKey, combined with the Amount, creates an output of a Bitcoin transaction. Like every other script, ScriptPubKeys are made up of operators and data. During the encoding of a transaction, both data and the operands are represented in hexadecimal format. You can find the hex representation for all operands used in Bitcoin Scripts here.

It's blatantly false that "Bitcoin Core was purchased by Blockstream".

It's absolutely not the case. It's more like a conspiracy theory that keeps getting pushed into Bitcoin-related threads at Hacker news (maybe to tilt future analysis?)

If we take a look at the past month of commits from https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pulse/monthly, the top ten authors are:

Fun ZeroMQ fact: bitcoind has used zeromq since 2015. This is used by client software including lightning node daemons to get notification of incoming transactions and blocks in a highly reliable and rapid way.

I like how the insight can show what exactly been done over time..https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/graphs/contributors

I found this discussion and the OP appeared to gain access when using the version of core from the time the wallet.dat backup was created/encrypted: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/14461
