Did you know that you can download the Bitcoin Whitepaper directly from the timechain? 🤯 Yep! That means if a scammer and silly laws make https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf not available in your country, you can still download it from your very own #Bitcoin node. 🤙 bitcoin-cli getrawtransaction 54e48e5f5c656b26c3bca14a8c95aa583d07ebe84dde3b7dd4a78f4e4186e713 0 00000000000000ecbbff6bafb7efa2f7df05b227d5c73dca8f2635af32a2e949 | sed 's/0100000000000000/\n/g' | tail -n +2 | cut -c7-136,139-268,271-400 | tr -d '\n' | cut -c17-368600 | xxd -p -r > ./bitcoin.pdf

The question is. When will they figure out that #Bitcoin is a #P2P #transaction system. Meaning... my node communicates directly with your node to transact and store value. No #middlemen. No #intermediaries. No #miners, #developers. No #rockstars, #celebrities, #gurus #cults of personality. #Politics or #religion. Just #purity, supported by #virtue. When will they figure this out..🤑👹🤔😊

I’m not at a terminal to verify, but your “bin/“ prefix seems to be causing the problem. Try it without the prefix

That is the most brilliant thing I’ve heard today. Satoshi gets more and more legendary with every revelation. I honestly believe that 100years from now people will talk about time in respect to before and after Satoshi. It makes me smile that time ‘before Satoshi’ will be abbreviated to ‘BS’ as it was all BS (bullshit). 😎

If you have a pruned node, you can also do this: seq 0 947 | (while read -r n; do bitcoin-cli gettxout 54e48e5f5c656b26c3bca14a8c95aa583d07ebe84dde3b7dd4a78f4e4186e713 $n | jq -r '.scriptPubKey.asm' | awk '{ print $2 $3 $4 }'; done) | tr -d '\n' | cut -c 17-368600 | xxd -r -p > bitcoin.pdf
