Just generate your own addresses on a secure system.
I recommend adding a BIP38 password to your private key, this way you can print them on an insecure printer/save backups wherever you like without fear of someone finding your unprotected private keys. It's the "BIP38 Encrypt?" option on bitaddress.org Obviously they are only as secure as your chosen password, so make it a strong one. This is very important, yes! Without a BIP38 passphrase, the generated Bitcoin paper wallet is equivalent to CASH. This means that, if you store the paper wallet in a safe, and the safe is cracked open by a thief, your coins are gone, just like cash would be. Actually, an unprotected paper wallet is much easier to steal than fiat cash, because it's feather-light and takes near-zero space. Similarly, if you hide the paper wallet somewhere and someone finds it, your coins are gone, just like someone finding your real leather wallet and taking the cash inside it. I take every opportunity I can, to stress how important this is. Never leave/store/hide unprotected paper wallets anywhere, unless you are absolutely certain that no one can get their hands on them. An unprotected Bitcoin paper wallet containing 100 BTC and stored in a desk drawer is equivalent to having $2,300,000 in CASH stored in that same desk drawer. Would you put $2,300,000 cash in a desk drawer? If the answer is NO, then you should not put an unprotected Bitcoin paper wallet in there either. All of the above are completely avoided by adding a BIP38 passphrase to your Bitcoin paper wallet. Then, that paper wallet will be a completely useless piece of paper to everyone else in the world but you. Math & science provide the tools. Use them! |

Those dumps for ants that quickly bounce back up are so amusing...
Most observers would see high volatility.
I see a stable, upward trend.
Must be my eyes...

Don't know about astronomy, astrology, Xmas stars and all, but Bitcoin is doing great so far.
Looks like I'm going to be winning that 20k € / BTC by Xmas bet...
Onwards & upwards!

Elwar is a likable guy, but I've never understood his obsession with seasteading. I guess that, when you become super-rich, something screws up in your head and you become obsessed with pointless, impossible tasks. Risto Pietila comes to mind. It's sad, really.
Trying to go against nature is a futile, pointless task, as is trying to go against the establishment without a feasible plan. Taking the law on your hands and setting up a seastead in the middle of the ocean is madness and delusion combined.
IMHO.
What's worse is having the chance to do something extraordinary but being too afraid to take it. What's even worse than that, is being able to do wonderful and meaningful things, but wasting your time and wealth pursuing pointless tasks. Risto Pietila's story is a good example. There's a point in that. In order to succeed you need to solve some real world problem not invent your own. On the other hand, some really innovative revolutionary ideas have been overlooked (including Bitcoin btw). Many bright pioneer inventors were considered to be crazy etc. I totally agree with that, and I see nutildah's point too. But, IMHO, setting a seastead in the middle of the ocean is, like you said, inventing your own problems. I don't think it solves anything. It costs a lot, it's dangerous (almost deadly), it's far from a natural human habitat. Just imagine being there alone, or even with a partner (no question about having children there). What is the purpose of that, other than satisfying a selfish, almost perverted desire? Everyone is free to do whatever s/he likes, of course... As for "Satoshi" the ship, again, an interesting project (I may even have merited some of Elwar's posts about it, purely for his determination), but was it really worth it? It just seems pointless to me. Just like Risto's castle. |

Observing $23,928 & not remotely interested in selling anything for a good while yet. This bull run has only just started really, we have soooooo much scope for upwards price discovery. You should always do what suits you but I don’t think it’s advisable to sell anything yet. Maybe at double this price I’ll start selling but we will see $100,000 per coin within 12 months & I’m starting to think maybe much higher.
Either way, it’s a great time for us, we are all so fortunate to have got into bitcoin so early. I dunno about anybody else but the next 12 months is going to be life changing.
Goodnight fellow bulls!
$100k / BTC is near-certain in 2021. <--- My "MOON" level.$400k / BTC has been predicted and is not impossible in 2022. <--- My "FUCK-YOU RICH" level.HoDLsleep for me too. Goodnight LFC and all. |

I am thinking we go past our pages count very soon.
I predict 28356 as the number.
You predict? How dare you?  proudhon is the only one capable of doing the complex calculations necessary to confirm or deny. She's the only WO-certified authority on math & science matters. It's her call. |

Some guys seem to get so fucking obsessed over taxes and some of that bullshit that they fail/refuse to appreciate that they can live rich as fuck, and still pay taxes... and sometimes being overly focused on how to avoid taxes might put them into a category that the govt believes that they are evading taxes, and then being in that situation does not seem to be worth it, in my humble bumble thinking.

Just like we broke $20k, I think breaking 20k € will also be a major milestone. This will take us just short of $25k.
Currently at 18.8k €, just 1.2k € to go...
Onwards & upwards!

PLA is really wonderful... natural... biodegradable, but it has it's limits. You certainly can't do firearms with it. I did this great set of replacement knobs for my grill. So nice... Prusa silver with a little orange flame glued on them. I loved them. They fit so tightly (she whispered). Until you used the grill. They take enough ambient heat that the would get mushy... lol. So I had to use PETG. And I only had a sort of translucent blue. Oh well... it's kinda comical looking, but they don't melt. I built a Prusa 3 with my daughter... it was a LOT of fun. There are cheaper printers out there for sure... but the quality of that thing. The engineering. It's a work of art. Very true... PLA is beautiful, and quite tough actually, but not good for outdoor and high temperature use. Printed parts can get mushy even when on a car dashboard on a hot summer's day. But there are other materials for such cases, like PETG as you've mentioned. I think a 3D printer is the best present for kids, especially those with an inclination for engineering/technical stuff. For dads (and moms) out there: now you know what to buy your kids/nieces/nephews for Xmas! Prusa make great printers, and the price difference is justified IMHO. Not that an Anycubic won't do the job, but a Prusa is a more refined product. Oh no, not a dump for ants again! |

I bought Anycubic's newer Mega S. Prusa's are in the same range, afaik even better quality at the higher ended printers and have also good community support.
....
The Anycubic is an excellent choice! I've used it and it's one of the best VFM 3D printers out there. You just need to be comfortable with tweaking and tinkering with the h/w a bit, like you've already done. Printing with PLA, the output is on par with much more expensive printers. It's the more difficult/exotic materials that make the difference IMHO. And based on Bitcoin's recent performance and expected 2021 price, you'd probably only need 0.1 BTC to get some of the best quality 3D printers out there... Life's sweet for BTC HoDLers! Yeah, the thing is a real bargain at 0.1 BTC (this includes a 1kg spool of excellent PLA). I switched to some *m*zon PLA for 0.0011 BTC per kg and that was a bad choice. The Anycubic PLA printed excellently, out of the box, while the cheap one gave me a hard time adjusting parameters to get mediocre results (like Arries mine replica). I always wanted to print ABS, ultimately for a DIY gun, so i came across PETG/CPE because of the fumes when printing ABS. This time i ordered from a specialized dealer. I got into CNC about a year ago (or make it two, in case my mind fails on this again), and i was thinking quite often about 3DP, but always forgot about it again, mainly because my research for the "best" budget printer never came to an end - a different story. However, for 0.1BTC this machine is excellent, in the meanwhile i got decent CPE results. And it seems to get "cheaper" over time as well. Thanks, Satoshi  Yeah, ABS is quite a nasty material to print with. I wouldn't even try it on the Anycubic. As for PLA, I always go for high quality stuff, usually sold in 750 g spools costing around $30 each. Have tried cheap ones ($20 / kg), but results were noticeably inferior, not worth the savings. BTW, my 0.1 BTC comment was obviously not for the Anycubic—you can currently buy 10 Anycubics for that amount! Maybe you missed a zero in your post above. The Anycubic Mega S should now be around 0.01 BTC. My comment was that, in 2021, 0.1 BTC should easily buy you an Ultimaker S5-class 3D printer. |

It seems that the Honey Badger likes 3D printers more that he does gay Xmas cards...
Or, probably, he just doesn't give a fuck...
