There’s a key difference between P2PKH and P2SH (and SegWit, Taproot). P2PKH is still using the “bare” Script. It is user-implemented commit-reveal, not a modification of the Script VM system. P2PKH was there right from the start (first P2PKH UTXO appeared on Jan 16 2009): How did pay-to-pubkey hash come about? What is its history? Looks like intention was just to reduce the size of addresses, quoting Satoshi: To make Bitcoin Addresses short, they are a hash of the public key, not the public key itself. An attacker would only have to break the hash function, not ECDSA. It’s interesting…

Let’s walk through a real application. On Tuesday morning, GBP/USD opens at 1.2650 during the London session. Within the first hour, price reaches a high of 1.2685 and a low of 1.2638. The Orb Indicator draws two horizontal lines at these levels. These become your key reference points. Throughout the session, price consolidates between these boundaries.

The move continues to 1.2730 over the next three hours because the break confirmed directional intent from…

So you would probably just get a response straight out of the LLM without it making any of these external grounding searches, and then you get a response.So if you wanted to influence this response, the only thing you could do really would be to influence the underlying training data of the model.So to give you some context, GPT-4.0 finished training in, I think, late 2022, and GPT-4.5 finished training in late,…

Google clearly recognized that “mobile phone” and “cellular phone” were good matches. This was about a year before the Hummingbird update and text embeddings launched in Google, and a decade before publicly available large-language models (LLMs).Along with Google’s capabilities, searchers themselves have evolved and are more inclined to use natural language. In 2026, you‘re less likely to search for “smartphone” and more likely to search for something like “What’s the best budget android phone with a good camera?” You expect Google to correctly interpret that more complex question.So, how much has Google improved, and can we measure that improvement?1,000 long-tail…

We all know the problem with a public ledger. Most of us living inside the crypto ecosystem can’t actually bring ourselves to say it.But find a normie on the street, one with some knowledge of blockchain (good luck with that), and they’ll tell you straight. It’s public. A public ledger is public.We’ve spent almost two decades trying to sell pork pies to vegans, trumpeting “public” as a virtue, when people actually crave privacy.Out there in the real world, normies don’t see radical transparency. Many perceive insanity. They see data breaches. They are in no doubt that sharing a permanent and…

A crypto market analyst has outlined what he describes as a straightforward mathematical method that helped identify the bottom of Bitcoin’s previous bear market. By focusing on long-term Fibonacci levels and quarterly price behavior, the analyst argues that the same structural logic that marked the 2022 bottom is now shaping Bitcoin’s next macro phase. Simple Math That Identified The Bitcoin Price Bear Market Bottom In an X post shared on March 8, crypto analyst Chetan Gurjar revisited a prediction he made in December 2022 regarding Bitcoin’s bear market low.

Testing Nova FI Trader on EURUSD — 1H Preset After experimenting with Gold (XAUUSD), the next step was to see how Nova FI Trader behaves on a major currency pair using the same higher timeframe approach.
