As said above it seems to be done individually and is normally just a thing that changes who you get through to when talking to support (from what I've seen)

Because of the nature of cryptocurrency, there are a lot of people who make large deposits that seem to want to contact the support first to see if they're comfortable taking such deposits and if there's anything extra that needs to be done (for example extra security features). This is likely the time where casinos look to attract wealthier people and hope they'll bring other contacts that have funds too to play there (there's also a chance things like comps are determined because people stand out with their accounts on casinos and get noticed by people or algorithms that analyse user data).

Advertising is likely a great source of communicating with everyone though too and high rollers are going to be more interested in your casino if you're old, trusted and well used.

Some wallets do actually already have this. It's possible at least in bitcoin core and electrum to sign a transaction and store it locally before broadcasting it later on (the difference is you don't hit broadcast, and in case of electrum you hit preview to save the transaction in your wallet history).

Once saved, it's also easy to delete those records from wallet history too.

The boards of both must have a fairly good relationship to be able to do this imo. I doubt it's an ordinary agreement (even if the banks that are lending the money are just wanting further exposure to the market).

I think it's a large risk for the banks to invest in cryptocurrency firms given their nature of being unforgiving assets and ones that face issues as mentioned above with ftx (if the crypto bank defaults and holds lots of crypto, it might be easier to steal than physical cash - especially if the cash is held in an account with another bank).

I used to pay ~$20 a year for annual grocery delivery to the UK (but they'd only deliver orders that are worth more than ~$50).

I've been thinking frozen and fresh foods are probably the hardest to deliver an keep (most other things survive fine). I'm surprised there's not been an attempt to just not stock fresh and frozen food because of this. Powdered/dry food (like noodles and pasta) and canned food (fruit, veg, soups, curry and even dairy) seem like they'd be a lot easier to deliver.

Does the US have an equivelant of Ocado? They seem like they'd be a large aspect of competition in the UK as they've managed to automate the picking and packing process where supermarkets and amazon haven't been able to.

Is your question essentially why b isn't constant?

The base fee is determined by the intermediate nodes for your transaction (the channels it goes to from your node to the end). These look like they're set a constants for each channel but it's the route that changes and thus the base fee for each channel can change too.

It looks like the fee rate changes based on: 1) liquidity, 2) liquidity impact (how much liquidity you take) which might also be why it's non- linear and non- constant (if you spend more, your fee rate increases but not by a linear multiple).

Most places I can find seem to also state that sometimes base fees can go negative if they want extra liquidity in one direction so that might be another reason the formula isn't linear..

The safest thing to do is probably to split the funds between two hardware wallets and store one at your regular house and one at your vacation home (each with their respective seeds).

There are other alternatives too. You could store both phrases in the same place and extend them with words you can remember (such as 4 words you keep encrypted) keeping an eighth of each of the money on the "normal" nmemonics in a way they could be attacked but you might want to do something special with the larger amounts of funds (such as mixing them or delaying a withdrawal after you've bought) to try to hide the link between them still if one can be made. You could store the extended seed words in self storage, a vault or with a relative of you have one you can trust well.

Sounds like something so overengineered that it'll go unused by most and will probably be vulnerable to other attacks. Most biometric systems are either insecure or unfeasible (a lot can use pattern matching and have multiple successes with different people).

It might become an additional layer of authentication but will face other issues (what if you're ill or in a space where you don't want to talk). Also what stops someone from recording you saying something (unless it gets you to say a random work that's "easy" to pronounce).

Why? What do you want to do?

If you're after a way to make money you could look into play to earn nft games (but do thorough research as some will be or are scam).

If you don't want the risk or can't do research (a wise thing to admit) then consider investing in bitcoin or getting used to making traditional investments first (such as the stock market or local investments).

So you need anything more than a shell or terminal over tor? If not then I'd suggest you start by searching for that (it must be something that's quite common as tor lets you get a static address whereas IP and url don't).

Searching quickly I found this: https://medium.com/@tzhenghao/how-to-ssh-over-tor-onion-service-c6d06194147

If it's too short (or just covers the client or the server setup), there looks like there's a lot more.

Can you not rely on telegram notifications in browser? I'd assume chrome or Edge will deliver the best results for this (ie they might be able to give you a popup too).

There's a way to access telegram over the Web where you scan a qr code and log in that way.

So many wallet apps have a browser now I'm surprised they haven't done the same with chromium in Suite and completely avoided this.

Most of the time.the devs keep quiet and seem dismissive about things. At the same time, there's other things coming down the pipeline to replace those ideas.

One of the devs posted a megathread here in 2015 (iirc) about whether blocksize should be increased to 4mb. In 2017 it was realistically enacted due to segwit being introduced and allowing blocks to become that big.

Most suggestions of smart contracting will likely go away if bridges improve or if bitcoin gets its own additional layers (there's no reason someone can't develop a PoS token on bitcoin with its own consensus mechanism).

Further blocksize increases can be obtained from taproot and mimble wimble (there will likely be other ways too to improve throughput).

Is change not better for concentration and remaining focussed than static beauty? You can get change by merely venturing outside or into the wilderness for a few hours but it might do better for your concentration than staying in one place.

Brightness and sunlight also generally have huge affects on how productive people can be. A comfortable environment can keep you focussed still though, I think it matters more how your environment changes than your comfort level (ie opening the curtains or turning on a lamp at a desk can still make a bedroom a more productive space without needing the venture further).

Most government authorities treat theft and fraud as non taxable events (mainly because the insurance payouts for theft isn't taxable either iirc).

There's a lot of arguments that could stem from this sort of thinking too (such as why don't governments try starting up lots of companies if they expect people to do it - such as out of schools/universities) but I think it's ultimately because they don't need to. They're likely expecting you to section off an amount of your income to handle standard tax bills as they arise or have someone liable for holding those funds if you can't do it yourself.

I was thinking this myself. I don't think the forum would be able to handle something like that either - it has to do recounts every few weeks and those change numbers for older members quite a lot - I reckon there'll be a lot of errors with a system like that that just makes it too hard to edit (ie bitcoin is $0 on 1st January 2022 because the api broke).

APIs that do fiat conversions in wallets also get broken quite a bit too so I think that'd happen here - it's also a lot easier to get multiple reliable sources to find the value of bitcoin from a search engine (and they'll have native currencies too).

The good news here (as has been seen before) might be that banks can class cryptocurrencies as currency reserves and not assets and that's quite surprising imo anyway (things like stocks, gold or oil can't be iirc).

The 2% is small though and I wonder what bank will do that if they could just incorporate another company to handle crypto investments and invest in that with the 97% of virtual funds they have (rather than using the 0-3% of cash reserves they actually hold).

We're not all selling at the same time though? People get greedy, when big money enters the space, big money gets greedy too.

If big money enters the space, lots of people will either sell or buy off that news. No one with a large investment will sell it on the open market all at once unless they've got a vendetta because it'll mean they've made a loss from what they could've made.

There's a lot of people who hold the coin because they don't understand the technology, don't understand the markets or because they're worried they'll never be able to buy for the price they sold at. When big money enters the cryptospace I think a lot more derivatives and lending will be done between players so they can stay invested or they'll only come with tiny parts of their portfolios to gain the maximum exposure with the minimum risk.

I've been thinking the same but about companies. Companies that'll do really well in a few years may be ones that drive cheap labour by making their work environments "fun" and turning them into games (it's one way to help with a growing military recruitment issue a lot of countries are seeing too). If you could teach someone to program while getting them to make a website for a client you have then you might be able to get money off two different people at the same time too (although this was the original concept behind the current education system a lot of countries inherited).

A lot of people who will spend 16 hours grafting on an exchange might just end up gambling with the funds too (there seems to be a lot of people who get wealthy and take too many risks because of it - there's an equal number of people who live fairly risk free lifestyles and seem better off because of it).

It probably depends on how strong the rental market is wherever you're buying or renting. If you can get somewhere good to buy, you might be able to buy it and rent it out and afford your own apartment too (or live in part of the property and rent out the other part).

There's another factor of how much it costs to buy and rent wherever you are. If it €400 to rent or €500 to mortgage, it'll be less worth it than if it was €300 mortgage. If you break up, there's different types of mortgage contracts you can sign depending on how things should be split (ie if it's equal or proportional to the investment each of you has made). You'll have to pay high legal fees though often if you don't agree with a solicitor on how much each of you should be paid (and even then the solicitor will probably take a big cut too).

It's probabky good for teaching the basics but might not be able to give options on the information it's learned from (it also doesn't have access to the Internet so might not give you strategies that work at the times you want them to or one's that aren't as efficient).

I don't think chatgpt can do much ahead of reading the literature though and you can access that yourself and work out what's useful/helpful and what isn't.
