What the hell is going on right now? Didn't have time to catch up, anyone would like to summarize?  number go up |

It is really slow going due to the fact they're still using old technology and hand counting. One reporter at a polling station said they had to halt the progression of getting the results of the counts of votes because they had to go find ink for their ink-jet printer. What is this? They are still working with equipment from the 90s?  No laser printers running at these polling stations to print off the results so to update bloody CNN?  the dot matrix printer they had as a backup to that new fangled inkjet had a dry ribbon or stuck pin or something? |

a long time ago, when Nixon stepped down, my father (military) turned and told me "you are witnessing democracy at work, and a peaceful transition of power. no bullets, no army" or something along those lines. at the time i was like "ok, cool."
guess i took for granted how immutable that seemed.

Got a really really bad feeling about this.
yeah. somethings up. i may even put my seat belt on for this. |

I may not be able to retire earlier than I would have otherwise, but hopefully my kid will be able to. That's what matters to me. Inter-generational wealth opportunity that we have never seen before in all of history.
by the very act of retiring early you may achieve the same or better results for your descendants. |

Let's hope this is only the start of things to come. Tell ya what lads, I see people here talking of retirement and the like and while I might not be whales like some of you (I haven't done too badly) I don't begrudge you at all. Happy for every single one of you because I know one day and one day soon I'll get there too.
Wouldn't a more important question be about whether we are able to retire earlier than what we would have otherwise? this is the question that matters. |

Ah, the old-school weekend pumps are back. How nice to wake up to $14,000 first thing in the morning. Still addicted to price checking as the very first activity of every day for the last several years.
i try to not check the price till after reading the WO 1st. makes it more fun. so i still dont know if 14k is holding or not, i still have a bit of reading to do. EDIT oh well fun while it lasted |

So I should fire up a miner to help this logjam?
my gpus are ready. cgminer ftw! |

I mean if you got like those guys the 'majority' of your coin on a CPU at less than a buck..well..
$64 looked pretty insane.. I think BTC was already like $11 bucks in Jan of 2013 as well. So that is my 'guess' of a cracking point...once the 'weak hands' lets call
it that, were to wash out..then my 'guess' would be you might not see such again till 80k or 100k Bitcoin. But much 'wrestling' with the fact with these 'whales'
back in 2013..the 'insane' pump in Bitcoin Price and it had to be a bubble. I just see the stressors now as the same at about 18K and 20K...hell, damn, I'm will
be tempted as such, and I'm retired and NOT living on my crypto anymore (unlike when I retired in Jan 2018) ..thus...I can imagine pressures of job/wife/money
here 7 years later with that kinda growth..getting to anyone.
hey ive done several main cashouts over the years for various reasons. and the biggest was after the 20k ath i hodled through. so hodl through 20k, then sell for around 10k ish average later. smart, yes? but at 20k i didnt need any more fiat. later things changed and a better plan developed so i cashed out at whatever price i could get, within reason. if the price was really bad i would of just waited but 10k was reasonable enough. my cost basis is ridiculous so for 10k a coin vs 20k a coin, my viewpoint is likely different than others. i always figured to cash out some amount every several years. enough so i wont be pressured to sell or worry about things no matter what honey badger does. as i still consider the (very small now) odds of bitcoin crashing bigly to be non zero. |

Do I need to write this on RTX graphics cards?
Setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
Setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
Setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
Setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
Setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
no its for AMD cards. |

but step on a trezor vs step on a yubikey. yeah no contest.
There's also a metallic one (made from aluminium), this might be fine when stepped on but it's expensive compare to every other hardware wallet on the market. oops forgot that one. i did want a couple when i saw them too. |

I needed to cancel an unconfirmed transaction that was stuck in the mempool for two days because I was trying to pay to a Protonmail bitcoin address that by then no longer existed.
technically, the address still exists and would of and still will take coin sent to it. addresses never cease existing and will always show any activity associated with them. you would of had to contact the address owner if that coin had confirmed. |

The yubikey is small and very tight to the touch, and really has nothing to break unless it is exposed to very high temperatures. Therefore, in terms of reliability, it is great.
He is not afraid of water, he is not afraid of falls even from great heights. The same cannot be said about Trezor.
If the Trezor gets caught in heavy rain or falls into the water, then everything will be over with him. Therefore, they are both good, but each in their own area.
fresh or grey water in a trezor may not kill it if dried/cleaned properly. yubikey doesnt care of course. but step on a trezor vs step on a yubikey. yeah no contest. but ive dropped a trezor from like 4 or 5 feet dozens of times too. |

Look do I think anyone should have 25%-100% of their BTC on PayPal alone .
Hell no.
But a few bucks worth? yes. But why? I can only see drawbacks, no benefits. From Forbes.com: PayPal wouldn't let users transfer their cryptocurrency into or out of PayPal To me, this looks like the worst of both worlds: Paypal is now an exchange that only lets you deposit and withdraw fiat. You can exchange it to Bitcoin, but you can only keep in on the exchange. Combine that with the fact that Paypal is well known to freeze accounts, and I wouldn't want to use this. But I'll follow your adventures with them anyway  robinhood is the same deal. you dont get an actual address to even see it directly on chain. so nothing on the blockchain, purely an internal database. so no way to directly enter or leave the platform. but even if paypals (or whoever is actually holding them) coins get hacked paypal will almost certainly cover them. still be a black eye though. as for freezing accounts, sure. any "exchange" can do that. any centralized thing can be frozen. but everyone should already be aware of that. let them learn at thier own pace. 1st step: get some even if its through a reputable exchange (yeah i know) or robinhood/paypal. 2nd step: let them watch the honey badger with some skin in the game. 3rd step: ? up to them |

I miss mining, I was such a cute newbie miner full of hope, back in the day. Miss the fun. Miss all them
yeah i always like the hum of computers, did seti and folding for years. so mining corn was a natural thing. but now? i have one 8 slot mining board with some gpu and fpga gear that mines eth at the moment. other times, some shitcoin or another. autoconvert pools (yes im that lazy) turn it into corn. my mining may not secure the bitcoin network but selling crap for corn on a regular basis (should) help the price. any worthwhile asic btc miner is far too loud for home use. i started mining as a hobby, kinda want to keep it that way. |

Yeah, I sold low back in the day at $3,900 BTC ...13 BTC ..of which I recovered 5 BTC...but then again so keeping score I'm still 8 BTC down, but I was 'retired' on crypto..at the time of this Real Life Issue sale and that got me to $50,700 [...] and cluelessness has its own adventurious charm, don't ya know...always drama BTC/Crypto...always FOMO/FUD excitement.  the clueless adventure was and still is the fun part for me. the last bunch i sold was to officially retire early. i got a bit over 10k(ish) a coin iirc. the price was what it was. there was a fiat number i had in mind, i sold till i hit it. had a plan and did it.. as long as your goal is achieved (and you hopefully still have reserve corn after), well thats the kinda plan that has has worked for me as always, your mileage may verybeing retired as covid wandered in was a bonus; no worries about getting sick from work anyway. |

So i see we still have few masochists supporting coinbase
It's fine. It's like living with an abusive husband who beats you up when drunk and reports you to the IRS regularly. well it is a step up from mtgox, sorta |

It seems to me that the question raised by the author of the topic is quite timely. How can you correlate a specific person with a specific private key? If someone spies on your notes in a notebook, then naturally he will become the owner of this private key in the same way as you yourself.
I got an idea. What if the binding of a private key to a specific person will carried out on the basis of some chip that identifies this person built into his body?) Then no one will doubt that only one person can own this private key. or as an option, a person, in addition to the private key itself, must have a certain second factor - like a yubikey or something else.
that introduces a third party you need to trust (the chip maker say). bitcoin is designed to be trustless. and security keys get lost or break. who issues them and the replacements? another party to trust. bitcoin security is based on math, mainly the astronomical odds of finding a duplicate key. its the only thing needed atm. just protect your keys. which is admittedly harder for some than others. |

Another point in favor of using for authorization purpose HW security keys instead of Trezor (or Ledger) is that the latter has more electronics components inside (display itself and related biasing circuits it requires) thereby wallets in general are less reliable devices, so one shouldn't trust them his/her accounts, could fail at any time.
true but the trezor allows written seed based backup of your 2fa master code (whatever you call it). it can be recreated on another trezor, if needed. once a yubikey is toast you need a another that was already registered to that account/device/whatever, or some other secondary way to get in. then delete the old hardware key and add a new one. whereas a new trezor restored with the seed acts exactly like the old one. plug it in and go. trezor makes a great backup to a yubikey imo. both have strengths and weaknesses as far as 2FA. |
