Bitcoin Core QT wallet will do that as long as it is open. If the transaction originated from that wallet, it will rebroadcast the transaction every so often. Not sure about the other wallets, I would guess that happens too unless you abandon the transaction or shut down the wallet.

Pretty sure they added an expiry time and have tweaked it a couple of times. However, even expired transactions are still valid (if not invalidated by a confirmed transaction which spends the inputs) and anyone could rebroadcast them (Another downside of heavily restricted blocksize).

BTW, have you already bought a 3D printer? I must have missed some posts there... Is it a resin-based one? Which one? I've always wanted to get into resin 3D printing, mainly due to the fine detail it can achieve. Prices have gone down considerably, so it's almost risk-free to give it a try. I'm concerned about the mess in handling the resin. I hope it's easier that what I imagine.

The resin is not too bad. I wear gloves all the time and wipe them off as I go and have a silicone mat where I do all the drippy stuff. It takes a few goes to get the handling process down right but it's pretty smooth once you have a routine. I have the Crealty ld-002h but from what I could tell, at the low end they're mostly similar. This one has a mono screen which is supposedly better than the color screens that are more common.

I'd say the resin printing is a bit more plug-and-play than the filament printing but it is a bit less flexible (while providing very good quality).

I think I'll just scrape every post in this thread he wrote given that they're all charts anyway  Grin

That works. Though the "latest posts from Chartbuddy" might be a bit simpler.
1385  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: June 02, 2021, 04:02:39 AM
Where is ChartBuddy getting these charts from? I want to embed them on my site if they're made in an automated fashion.

Chartbuddy generates them himself. They're uploaded to imgur and I don't have any issue with their use elsewhere though you'd probably have to work out how to do that yourself.

Interesting: Got an S17 coming in for repair and the guy was wondering how he could trust me with his miner. I thought about it, haven't really been asked that much, then wrote this:

When it comes down to it, the only thing I have to go on is my reputation here on the forum. If I did screw you over then a posting in the Wall Observer or scammer thread that I was a jerk would pretty much tank my future business. I'll take care of your unit, check it out, see what's wrong, and hopefully get the boards running so you can get back to mining. If I can't fix it there's no charge of course. If I can the fee is a couple months of mining revenue in bitpennies plus parts (chips if needed).

I do the best I can....



It's been a while since I mined but as far as I know, the only potential issues could be stealing hash, which could be detected and attacking his network from the inside (which is a risk with all hardware).

It seems like the gods just wont let me run chitubox.
It wouldent load om the old computer, and on my brand new win 10s laptop the laptop have decided to overrule it's human owner.
"for security and...only Microsoft-verified apps is run in this windows mode.
You still want to run this unverified app? Se how.
And when you click that it tries to open a window, but since I'm offline it can't, and that's that.
Who the hell gave Microsoft permission to tell me what to install on my computer?
FUCK WINDOWS 10!!!

Seems like you've bought a laptop that came in safe mode. My wife's came that way and it's a pain in the ass and stupid. You have to have an MSN account to unlock it as an admin. I created a separate MSN account to do that and did not use that account on the computer, setting up a local admin account instead and then deleted it later.

Edit: No, wait, I think you had to link the account to an MSN account which is why I made it temporary. Microsoft is determined to push their unpopular shit on people.

... the Metcalfe's law concept for the value of a monetary network reflected as bitcoin price in fiat that is related to the number of transactions or number of wallets is definitely interesting, and has worked well for Bitcoin in the early days when the network was small but growing exponentially fast.

... now I'm wondering if it Metcalfe needs to be tweaked to include a weighting to the value of transactions on the network, or value in wallets, rather simple numerical quantity of TX or wallets? The value of the phone network clearly increases as the number of users adopt the network but each user can make more or less or longer or shorter calls and doesn't really affect the total value of the network. Bitcoin is somewhat more like the electricity grid network where the size of the user, or generator, that connects to the network would have a bearing on the total value of the network different from simply number of users. E.g. if a large utility, or aluminum smelter, decided to abandon the electricity network that clearly has a bigger impact on total value of the network that some random Joe that goes off-grid but each represent a single user on the network.

I always thought that Metcalfe was a bit of a simplification. Clearly, connections have different weightings, some potentially negative. The same overall square law applies but this introduces several nuances. More users has meant an increase in connections but restricted transactions (without a fully functioning second layer) and hence increased friction has reduced the value of many/most of those connections. This is, apparently, an acceptable tradeoff for being able to run a full Bitcoin node on a smartphone from 2012.

Ah, going to McD to get something to eat, catch you later.

Too good to eat Ramen with the rest of us?

And that's the problem isn't it, the computer industry have fooled people into believing that that's normal.
A computer should need no more maintenance than a stereo. I have a receiver I have had sitting idle on a shelf for more then ten years, if I plug it in today it will work just fine, but a three year old computer refuses to work, and that's "normal".
Fuck the computer industry.

I have Slackware Linux on a PC. I installed it about 8 years ago and other than a couple of security updates for a handful of applications, it's been running fine 24/7. That's the way it's supposed to be. I've been thinking about upgrading it since a new version of Slackware came out recently but no rush.

Update on the Binance card

I just got cashback from my ATM withdrawals, so apparently it doesn't register as an ATM withdrawal but rather a purchase.
That's nice to know.

Now, that's a bug they're going to be fixing quickly... Shocked
1391  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: May 30, 2021, 05:17:11 AM
Pretty sure you can still update to win 10 for free

https://geeksadvice.com/upgrade-to-windows-10-for-free/

You can. That's how my VR rig was done (I wanted to try VR Minecraft) but there are a few things that have never been quite right about it. It sounds like maybe he needs a fresh install so may as well jump straight to 10.

Edit: Just saw his following message about not wanting to use 10 which I totally respect.

I believe some of these slicers have Linux versions so that might be the way to go.

My Chromebook can run Linux apps but that comes with its own issues. It stopped running the Linux apps and apparently the fix is to disable and re-enable the Linux layer but that deletes all your Linux apps and data. Fortunately, I hadn't actually used it for anything yet but it's not confidence inspiring.
1392  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: May 30, 2021, 01:24:08 AM
What's chromebook? does it work like any other laptop?

Yes, I'm browsing laptops now.


Remember Linux Netbooks? Basically that but by Google and a bit more restricted. I wouldn't have one as any kind of primary device but it's fine for browsing WO while ignoring whatever junk is playing on the TV.

[snip]

Is it running a hard drive or a SSD ? If the former I would consider upgrading to the latter.

To boot from USB you need to catch a key to press at the start of the booting up of the PC, if it's displayed (press X to...). Often it's DEL, or an F key. Or you can google your brand of PC to find out which key. There can be 2 options, one for BIOS one for booting sequence, in that case take that one and put the USB in first (have the USB drive plugged in before booting).

Further to what aesma said, I'd consider moving to 10. Should be available from the same supplier as your win7 install *ahem*.

This is what I do... I will write only hints about what I’m writing and I will write only encoded details which only I can understand. For example for a password I may write few characters from start and end. So even if someone gets access to my notes they will understand nothing.

Use a proper password manager. It will store all that shit encrypted.

A quick update on the Binance bitcoin card.

I went grocery shopping at City Gross and Ica Maxi this evening and the card worked just fine, I could plipp at both terminals, the text is, as expected, still displayed in English instead of Swedish.
I withdrew 200 SEK at the local City Gross ATM, no problems at all, but more options to choose, first it displays the conversion rate and fees from EUR to SEK and asks for your approval, then it asks you to choose between going forward with or without conversion, I chose with conversion., it worked just fine.
I then drove to a proper bank ATM and did the same thing, I got the same questions, but this time I chose without conversion. All text on the ATM:s where in English.
When I got home I checked the amount in EUR that was withdrawn from my Binance account, and it was 19.78 EUR in both cases, so it obviously doesn't matter what you choose.
I also stopped by Mcd and the local gas station again, In Mcd I could now plipp without problems, but the gas station still gives me "technical error", It's a Qstar by the way for any Swedes that might be curious.

I'm gonna go try the card on some other gas stations too and I'm also gonna see if I can fool the system and get cashback on cash withdrawal by doing it at checkout when I pay for my grocerys.

So far I'm pleased with the card.

To be continued.

Edited.

It's been a while since I did much conversion but last I recall, it tended to be that you got a better rate if you had your card do the conversion (if using a credit card) than the bank ATM because banks are bastards.

1398  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: May 27, 2021, 01:49:04 AM
Yeah, it did give me a choice when I installed it, but since I don't know anything about computers I just picked one randomly. This is actually the first time I've had any problems with it.

Unforunately, I don't think there's any path without a full reinstall. Even an in-place upgrade to 10 would stick you in 32 bits as far as I know.
1399  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: May 27, 2021, 01:15:34 AM
I run windows seven that I got from piratebay on this 12 year old computer of mine. My old HD crashed so I bought a new one and installed W7 on it, it was W7 before as well.
I have a three year old laptop and a newer computer as well, but I don't have any wifi right now and I'm too lazy to crawl under my desk and tinker with all the cables and stuff. Besides, the laptops wifi stopped working a long time ago, it  ran out of battery and when I recharged it the wifi connection was gone. Haven't used it since. But I might have to try and scare it back to life now, I just found it under a pile of old things and, of course, its out of charge. I don't know where the charger is so I might have to buy a new one, and then get one of those wifi things that you plug in to the USB port. And then I'll have to go to the grocery store and use their free wifi.
Nothing is ever simple with computers, if any other product was that faulty out of the box consumer organizations would be all over their case, but for some odd reason the computer and software companys get a free card.


Win7 was available in 32 and 64 bit versions and unless you had good reasons, it would be better to install the 64 bit version. Unfortunately, now 7 has been discontinued, you are going to find things harder and harder (though there is little good reason other than Microsoft wanting more money). I was hoping to stay with 7 myself but I upgraded to newer processor and motherboard and 7 just refused to install and I had to go to 10. You might want to start preparing yourself to do the same. Though I am really not that happy about it and I'm considering finally getting back to Linux.

I suppose that we could merely agree to disagree, no?  I provided my explanation and examples through a hypothetical - which seems to have put the points that I was attempting to make into some contexts - including if, in the event that I may have overreacted, I attempted to back up my various points by describing various historical BTC price points and holding the quantity of BTC held at a constant.

Someone, lost in the mists of time, was lamenting the lack of ATH in May so, tongue-in-cheek, I suggested an ATH loss to fulfill their need. In fact, it's a loss which is bigger than what the actual ATH was at the beginning of the year. That's pretty astounding that we got that high so quickly that that is possible in itself. That a humorous (and factual) observation led to a wall of text is why I say you're touchy.

There is really not a bigger point than an amusing (to me) observation so I'm afraid the rest of your wall is for nothing.
