What’s a burn address exactly? I just mean that there is no way of spending it without actively destroying the private key. Basically the sender decides that it can’t be spend.

Send it to a public key of which no private key is known, or cannot exist.

Yeah just create an address that is impossible to generate from a private key. E.g. - bc1iamaburnaddressHgLxD67NK… or something like it. You could also do a 1 million year timelock or something. But if you don’t have some other lock on it based on a key that you probably don’t have, then there’s no way to really stop the key from being used & no way to verify the key doesn’t exist or was destroyed. The basic and common option is just creating a burn address, which just proves there was no chance the person generated it from a real/known private key, and thus no one can unlock it.

Autocorrect hates the word “provably” 😆

Oh wow, didn't know you could send sats to addresses like that. Thanks sir. So you can have a kind if Proof of Charity by sending to such an address. That's cool actually.

Charity as in it will make all other coins worth more? Yeah, but I don't see the appeal of burning coins, doesn't make any sense to me.

I don’t see the appeal of burning my coins either 🤣

Not advocating for it. Just didn't now Saylor could die with his keys and PROVE it.
