Posting gap march 2017 - august 2017.
This account is not from the original owner."
Account sales aren't banned by the forum, and DT members who flag account sellers do so to prevent abuse. Assuming that (hypothetically speaking) Royse's account did change hands and somehow slipped by the notice of DT members at the time, should DT member tag Royse's account now? All of Royse777's positive feed back (including untrusted) is after the dates of the posting gap. Has he been abusive since that time? Has a shown a tendency to be untrustworthy? Or has he demonstrated the exact opposite? Given the lack of significant evidence or motive, there's no justification for tagging him. And given his trustworthy behavior since the suspected breach, I don't think any one cares. I certainly don't. Who ever is currently behind the Royse777 account IS Royse777 as far as I'm concerned. |

I would like it if that commercial series culminated in physical violence against Jake from State Farm. Patrick and Aaron have had it with Jake's shenanigans so they challenge him to a quick football contest, which they use as an excuse to double-tackle him, resulting in Jake's brief but touch-and-go hospitalization.
Or they show up without their OL and Jake sacks both of them. I'd rather see Baker's Progressive book group sacking the State Farm dual-threat while Jake streaks the field and Flo tackles him for a loss. A big loss. |

I'm not ashamed to admit that I like Windows.
Same here, but Linux left me no choice due to its compatibility issues with some of the apps that I regularly use. I like Linux too, Ubuntu to be specific, which I have running on all my servers. I have Ubuntu Desktop installed on one of my laptops, and use it regularly. My bitcoin node is running Ubuntu server, which seems far more practical for me than running a node server on Windows. It's really hard to beat the practicality of Linux for a machine that's dedicated to a specific process. and all my hardware wallets linked up without issue.
Does it also include a Trezor hardware wallet by any chance? Yeah, that's my main hardware wallet; both Trezor One and the Model T worked fine, but I only tried them with Electrum. I haven't installed the Trezor Suite yet, I might give it a shot this weekend. Last month, I was eagerly looking forward to its release in Oct, 5 but I completely forgot about it in the past couple of weeks. Just finished checking windows update [thanks to you], but there's still no update for me [I had to enable the TPM first]... Personally, I prefer to upgrade my desktop while leaving the laptop on Windows 10 [it'll be used for running a full node, once it finishes the DL & sync part] + I'd always have another option if I run into problems.
My machines didn't flag me for the upgrade either. There's a tool you can download that will check for compatibility, it's available here. The Windows 11 site recommends that you wait until Windows Update selects you for the upgrade, but I'm impatient. If you want to force it you can update your system or download the ISO from here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11 |

Please, you guys should be nice to beginners and at least help them find their feet....most of you were really harsh and that's not nice at all. In all, I appreciate you all.
Hey now, I resemble that remark. I was a bit harsh, please don't take it personally. If we can't be harsh to newbies on the internet, then half the fun of social media just evaporates. Now for the real advice; Don't pay any attention to your rank, it'll come naturally if you participate in the forum and don't think of it as a cash cow. Read a lot, respond respectfully, ask questions, don't be a douchebag, and you'll grow with the community. |

Dude, really? What the fuck is up your ass today? I prefer a different OS than you, that's no reason to be such a fucking dick and insult my intelligence. If you can't handle having a rational discussion about Windows without insulting those who choose to use it, it might be healthier for you to avoid these topics. |

Which Windows 11 version do you use? Home, Pro or other version? The upgrade is free with a current Windows license, but the version you get depends on that license. If you have a Widows 7 or Windows 10 Home license you'll get the Home version of Windows 11. I used my Win7 Ultimate license, so I got the Pro version with the upgrade. The other really cool feature is the integration of the WSL file system into Windows Explorer, which can (natively) read Linux file systems now.
Neat, but exposing / is reckless. I hope there's no software decide to mess with it. Agreed. We'll see what, if any variabilities arise from that. The way Windows shell handles the Linux file system is more like a shared network drive, so I assume that privileges are handled in a similar way.
someone would really need to have very low IQ to willingly use this OS when there is various free Linux systems to choose.
Lol. I do require Windows for my work, but even if I didn't I would use it anyway. I'll have to contact the makers of all those IQ tests that lied to me, and inform them that dkbit98 insists they were wrong. Meh, every OS has issues at first. Every OS has it's issues, period. Haters gonna hate. |

I'm not ashamed to admit that I like Windows. I was early to upgrade to Win7 and Win10, and so this past weekend I upgraded my main rig to Windows 11. I played with it on a spare laptop for a couple of weeks, so I knew what I was getting into. Oddly, the things I like about it the most are the ways it integrates Linux. It also borrows a few things from Linux and BSD based OSs, like the center mounted task bar menu and multiple desktops. The multiple desktop feature is actually usable this time, and it integrates well with multiple displays. It comes in handy when I have a bunch of stuff open for work, and just need a mental break. After the upgrade (fresh install) I was able to install all my favorite bitcoin apps. I have my bitcoin core data files on secondary internal drive, so synchronization was done by the time I thought to check. Electrum installed without issue, and all my hardware wallets linked up without issue. As is usual for most OS upgrades, the majority of the changes are just fluff and aesthetics. Win11 isn't any different, but there are a couple of key additions that I find useful. Here are a couple of my favorite: The Windows Terminal has been available on Windows 10 for over a year now, but it's integrated into Windows 11. It's become my favorite tool to manage my servers and VMs, or just as the PowerShell console. It makes managing SSH connections a breeze.  The other really cool feature is the integration of the WSL file system into Windows Explorer, which can (natively) read Linux file systems now.  |

Josh Allen regular season MVP.
Killer hurdle over that defender... that guy can do it all. I think the tide has just waned on the Mahomes KC dynasty. I still like his commercials. That was a decisive win for the Bills, I'm sure they felt like they got a monkey off their collective back. I'm not counting out the Chiefs just yet. Their offensive line and defense isn't what it used to be, but that's largely due to a few key injuries. That could change from week to week. Ok, Jaguars, Lions, Jets, and Giants can't really win it unless all other teams just give up. That still leaves 28 contenders, and literally half of them will make it into the playoffs.
Dude, now you tell me? I bet the farm on the god damn Jets. 49ers, YES
49ers, YES
49ers, YES
FIFY.

things I should do to increase my ratings on this platform?
Leave now. You're only going to make your reputation worse if you think just showing up and making three shit-posts is enough to "increase ratings." |

Thank you all that replied. I will just use the AppImage because it seems it'll be the one with less issues to encounter. I got a question regarding verifying the download. Besides https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/tree/master/pubkeysIs there any other public place where I can download ThomasV and SomberNight Public keys to verify the files? When I did this last a few years ago, I went to some pgp.mit.edu website to get ThomasV key however that doesn't seem to work. I just want another source where I can verify just in case the github is compromised. I prefer to use the gpg tool to receive keys. I've found the Ubuntu server to be one of the more reliable, and it's one of the more commonly used. The OpenPGP server also tends to be pretty reliable. The two servers are among the many that are supposed to synchronize with one another, but they can be slow to do so. gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com --receive-keys 6694D8DE7BE8EE5631BED9502BD5824B7F9470E6
Or gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.openpgp.org --receive-keys 6694D8DE7BE8EE5631BED9502BD5824B7F9470E6

This error is usually due to outdated or empty packages list on your system. Since you installed a new version of Ubuntu then this might be the problem. Before installing the libsecp256k1-0 package, try running this command to update your packages list: Yeah I also assumed it was that but it doesn't work even after that command. The only thing I can think of is that maybe there is some typo that ThomasV posted on electrum.org and that's why its not working. Can somebody confirm if libsecp256k1-0 is the actual package name? Does the '-0' need to be there ? Update is only half way there, you'll also need to upgrade: sudo apt update
sudo apt list --upgradable -a
sudo apt upgrade -y
When you list the upgradable packages, you should see the libsecp256k1-0 listed among them. It's also one of the dependencies listed on the Electrum Downloads page: Install dependencies: sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt5 libsecp256k1-0 python3-cryptography
If you're running Ubuntu 20.xx.xx you should have it installed after the upgrade, anyway, so you probably won't have to install it manually. use the app image version of electrum. it's designed to work on older systems like yours.
Agreed, this is likely the easiest way of running the most recent version of Electrum. |

Once upon a time there was a bitcoin mixer that used PGP to generate a one-time password. I can't remember their name (bitcoin blender?,) but they shutdown a couple of years ago when there was a law enforcement crack-down on mixers. I thought that was probably the most secure 2FA process I had ever used.
PGP may not be ready for main-stream adoption, or maybe it's more accurate to say that the "Main-Stream" aren't ready for PGP adoption, but this is crypto! You would think that more businesses involved in crypto would at least provide PGP as one of the 2FA options. I can't wait for the day when MainStreet Bank implements PGP security options for those of who use it.
For a while my bank REQUIRED their phone app to be able to log into their web portal. Don't know if it really was secure or how the phone app worked, but it seemed like a good idea. Phone apps are really the downfall of a lot of security, Google auth, Authy, Email, SMS whatever since for too many people your phone does have it all. A centralized phone app controlled by the organization, sending encrypted data could be a good solution. If you're already doing business with the organization your trust is implied. It's certainly more secure than using SMS or email 2FA. The only trouble is if you lose your phone, you're screwed. Going back to the Coinbase hack.
Lets assume that to change you CB password or do certain transactions you need ALL of the following
1) Email access
2) Google / Authy access
3) SMS access
Raise your hands if all of those are on one device.
PGP works to a point, but too many people use it and assume they are safe, when if the PC that you have it on is compromised it's just a bad as any other authentication. Could be worse, if you are doing everything on that 1 PC.
For your own wallet, a HW wallet is the only way to go. For 2FA stuff, there are only going to be 'less bad' answers. I can't really think of a good one.

*Hand Raised. As o_e_l_e_o is apt to do, he gave some really good advice about using multiple devices. Most of us here are aware of many security pitfalls that we face every day, yet we continue to take shortcuts for the sake of convenience. It's a choice we all need to make for ourselves. |

Isn't it getting close to Cooper Kupp out for season time?
Don't you dare. Take it back lol. I have him in another league of mine and he be killing it. I had cupp and Mike Williams later to go with some top backs so looking good in that league. Wr is thin otherwise so I need Mr cupp to place nice the whole season plz. Maybe just wishful thinking on my part! I'm probably jealous because my teams are walking wounded! Misery loves company, rite?I don't wish anyone any harm, but I wouldn't mind him being out for the two games against the 9ers. I'm still not sure if the Rams are a fluke this year, or they really are as good as they've looked the last couple of games. We'll see as the conference games get going. Did you post a picture of this buffoons face just to try and anger Hueristic and I?!  All I see is this:  |

A side note: "Latest" or "Rolling" releases of node break a lot of packages that would otherwise build fine on older node versions, so you're probably better off with sticking to v14 LTS for now.
Yeah, to update I used the npm tool "n" with this command: sudo n lts, which installed the current LTS version, 14.17.6.
The funny thing is it didn't update NodeJS, just Node.js.
Those two are different? I thought it's just different name. I believe they are interchangeable. After updating, when I checked the version I got two different versions. For example, when I checked the version of Node.js I got this: When I checked the version of NodeJS, I got the old version: When I updated, a comment in the update log mentioned that the new package was installed in a new directory, the file location is /usr/local/bin/node. NodeJS, however was installed at /usr/bin/nodejs. |

Try to add this on your bitcoin.conf, let's see if that solve the issue since I have a similar problem back then when I tried to set up mempool on my PC and node on my RasPi. rpcbind:127.0.0.1
rpcbind:<local node server IP>
rpcallowip:<local mempool server ip>
rpcport:8332
That did it, thanks for the suggestion! My mempool backend is running! Thank you for your help, gentlemen. I'll see you when I have trouble with the frontend.  |

I installed the npm package "n" and used that to update to the latest LTS version of Node.js. The funny thing is it didn't update NodeJS, just Node.js. To prevent the older version from being used I removed it using apt, then created a simlink to the new package. That resolved the errors I was getting while trying to run the backend, but I got another error that I'm now trying to work out: ECONNREFUSED port 8332. Once again I checked all my settings, but was unable to find from where the error is stemming. Mempool connects to my Electrum server just fine, but Bitcoin Core is refusing the connection for some unknown reason. I have the following lines in my bitcoin.conf file: rpcbind:127.0.0.1
rpcallowip:<local mempool server ip>
rpcport:8332
I tried disabling all those one at a time, and also all three together but nothing helped. @DaveF, please go easy on me. |
