I like this strategy a lot, but the performance of read queries suffer if they span partitions, correct?

The issue I'm facing is a very large table, that is both write and read heavy, and the reads do not fall into a specific range of values for any particular column, so I don't think partitioning is an option.

In Bitcoin's case, public keys are only revealed during a transaction.

And every transaction completely spends the source keypairs' funds.

So the only attack vector a quantum computer could use is:

1. Observing newly broadcast/unconfirmed transactions

2. Deriving the private key(s) from the public key(s)

3. Creating and broadcasting its own transaction using the stolen keypairs before the original transaction confirms (presumably with a higher fee to win the confirmation race).

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

EDIT: correction: every transaction completely spends any selected UTXO of an associated keypair, not all of the "source keypairs' funds". Thus the attack vector also includes being able to steal from any keypair that has ever made a transaction and also has UTXOs.

Thank you!

> In 2025 I made $10 from open source

Slightly off-topic, but I wish more OSS projects and maintainers would advertise cryptocurrency donation addresses. It's probably the easiest way for end users to donate.

The pg_ivm plugin adds incremental updates to Postgresql materialized views:

Though I don't know how well it works on a write-heavy production db.

Pretty neat.

How would the multiplier DCA act during a multi-month "crypto winter"?

No I don't think so. Thanks for pointing that out.

IIRC, I eventually removed nosnippet because it caused google to not display microdata in SERP (see the "$25.99 to $99.80" in the above screenshot) that were desirable for my traffic. I instead replaced nosnippet with:

``` <meta name="robots" content="noarchive"> ```

And this seemed to have the same effect as nosnippet, but with the added benefit of my microdata still being displayed in SERP.

I deliberately opted out of snippets for TLD List [0], a price comparison site I made for domain names.

I don't know if it's made any difference. Organic search traffic from them has slowly but steadily increased over the years.

Google now sometimes displays a snippet from my competitor's website for searches like "cheapest .io domain" [1]. The snippet seems pretty useless as it doesn't include any registrars' names/links (and my competitor's price info is quite outdated).

In these cases, since the snippet is the 1st thing users see in SERP, and doesn't provide enough info to fully answer the question, I'd wager that my competitor is ultimately receiving the majority of clicks from these snippets.
