No doubt Rodgers is back in top form. Very costly time management lesson for 49ers. Yeah that was a brutal loss for the niners. Scored too quickly there at the end. Crazy day, tucker nailing a 66 yard field goal. Jags returning a missed fg for 109 yard td, giants being....the giants. Looking forward to tonight's game. Always love a good division fight game. It's been over 24 hours so I'm calm enough to post in this thread. I did hack out a rant with about 40 f-bombs, but I was too angry to find the post button. Looks like I won unless CeeDee starts running the wrong way.
Now watching cows vs dogs, this should be good. 3 minutes in and Zeke already has a TD.
Ezekiel's got them wheels turnin' and the cows have run away with it. I almost feel bad for the psychos, almost. The third highest score in the league this week isn't good enough for the win. |

Had no idea Palace - Brighton is local derby. Just heard commentator saying how Palace will die on the pitch before they let their arch nemesis Brighton claim top of Premier League. On the other hand if Brighton wins this would be their first time ever on pole position in PL. Really a game with much higher stakes then I thought initially. Maybe I was rash with my both to score pick, I usually avoid that market on high intensity games.
That draw pissed me off. I originally had a 1 to 1 draw in my prediction, then started over thinking things when I learned that Brighton had a chance to sit atop the league for a week. I figured they would come out like a house on fire and burry Palace to make it happen. I should have stuck with my gut instincts.  |

So the directions I have:
1. [preferred] Make an Electrum server and a block explorer work on Windows
2. Anything I can install on Virtual Box as long as Bitcoin DataDir remains on the USB attached HDD. This is a special problem, since I am badly inexperienced with Linux.
2.1. I do have a Debian configured on a Virtual Box, with DataDir just fine, but I don't know how to make bitcoind start automatically with the system (and with that datadir); I didn't go with other steps yet there.
In the ElectumX documentation, on the "HOWTO" page there's a claim that ElectrumX should be able to run on Windows. ElectrumX should run on any flavour of unix. I have run it successfully on MacOS and DragonFlyBSD. It won’t run out-of-the-box on Windows, but the changes required to make it do so should be small - pull requests are welcome.
I've never tried to run it on Windows, but it should just be a matter of getting Python3 installed, then using PIP to install the remaining dependencies. You would then need to set up the proper service command to create a service that starts automatically when the machine boots up or the user logs in. I'll try it one of these days, and report back. As for bitcoind running in the background as a service in Linux, the instructions to use systemd are available in the bitcoind.service sample file found in the master repository. Note: If you're not running around as root, you'll need to use sudo before each of the following commands. This code will create the systemd configuration file: systemctl edit bitcoind.service
Copy the commands you want into the file and then save it. Enabling the service will cause it to start at boot, to do so use this command: systemctl enable bitcoind.service
To start the service manually use this command: systemctl start bitcoind.service

The easiest way is to use virtualbox: https://www.virtualbox.org/And then deploy the virtalbox version of mynode: https://www.mynodebtc.com/downloadThe upsides: it's easy, you don't have to install or learn anything, and there is a lot of support out there. The downsides: You have to trust the people involved. But, you do get a BTC node, a lightning node, an electrum server and a basic block explorer. Keep in mind you are going to need enough free RAM & disk space on your PC to run it. And you are going to have to keep your machine running 24/7 to get access to it. -Dave I don't know why but the easy way never appeals to me. I like learning new stuff, and the DIY spirit is strong within me, lol. In the late 90's, early 2000's I was working for an old-school tech company that was still using Unix on all their engineering work stations. They finally switched to Windows around 2001/2002, and I hadn't played with CLI operating systems until I started hanging out here with you nerds. Pounding out commands on the keyboard took some adjustment, but like I said, I find it fun and enlightening. There's really no better way to learn about the technology of bitcoin than to dive into it. And it's quite rewarding when you get things working well. I spent most of the day yesterday trying to install mempool.space on an Ubuntu server, and kept running to obstacles. I'll figure it out eventually, but it can be frustrating. |

I apologize to anyone who predicted Spurs As an Arsenal fan, no apology needed!  Sorry to rub it in, but it was it sure is nice to see the Gunners firing live rounds and not duds as they had for the first three matches of the season. Three wins in a row, Arteta must be a genius. I can't believe anyone would ever talk bad about him.  Another big win for me this round; I'm no longer at the bottom of the leaderboard! Yaaaay! Sorry to Welsh for trading places. Well, at least I'll be polite enough to say I'm sorry.  |

/usr/local/bin/mempool/backend/dist/index.js:24
wss;

SyntaxError: Unexpected token ;
I'm beginner at JS/TS, but looks like it's syntax error rather than mistake on file configuration. Did you grab the source code from release page ( https://github.com/mempool/mempool/releases) or clone the master branch? I followed the instructions in the README.md file, so first I cloned the master: git clone https://github.com/mempool/mempool
Then I checked out latest release: latestrelease=$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/mempool/mempool/releases/latest|grep tag_name|head -1|cut -d '"' -f4)
git checkout $latestrelease
I've installed all the dependencies using apt, so they should all be stable LTS versions. I also installed npm.
It might be helpful to mention linux distro you use and version of your NodeJS. Good point: Both servers are running Ubuntu Server version 20.04.3 LTS. I only installed NodeJS onto the machine I want to run mempool, the version installed by the app manager is 10.19.0. I just looked up the NodeJS site, and noticed their latest LTS version is 14.17.16. The version I have was originally released in February of 2020. That may have something to do with it, odd that such an old package is the one installed by apt. I'll try installing the newer LTS version of NodeJS, hope it helps. |

@suchmoon. In my short experience, I reckon 9 points is very easy in this game.
I sure hope so  In other news, Hueristic was looking surprisingly alive there for a while against DireWolfM14. WTF happened to the 126 point juggernaut from last week? What, I'm the only one who gets "special treatment?"  |

I need some help installing a local instance of mempool.space, hoping some of you with experience can chime in. I've installed all the dependencies using apt, so they should all be stable LTS versions. I also installed npm. I am trying to run this on separate hardware than my bitcoind and electrumx services. On the mempool machine I set up the config file with the node server's local IP, and an rpc password generated using rpcauth.py. On the node server I added the user authorization to the bitcoin.conf file, opened the applicable ports in ufw, and set port routing in my router. I double checked all that over and over, so I'm sure that's not presenting any issues. I installed nodejs and mariadb only on the machine that'll be running mempool, not on the machine running bitcoind/electrumx. Here's the error I get when trying to run the backend: direwolf@mempoolserver:/usr/local/bin/mempool/backend$ sudo npm run start
> mempool-backend@2.2.2 start /usr/local/bin/mempool/backend

Really, no one wants Trey Sermon? ESPN thinks this is a better deal than e.g. Fournette Lol, I think Fournette is more likely to play a whole game. Fuck SF backs, I'm still not sure why I have Elijah Mitchell taking up space when AB is sitting there taunting me.  It's tough row to hoe for Shanahan as well. He just promoted a running back from the practice squad because he's getting so thin at the position. I don't know who's available on the free agent market, but the 9ers are going to have a hard time with the running game unless Elijah Mitchel and Trey Sermon can stay healthy for the rest of the year. |

Confirmed, the universe hates me!
Could be, but you're not alone, the universe felt the same way about me in Vegas. Vegas is the universe's way of reminding us of how insignificant we actually are. I've only made one bet in Vegas on sports and it was for the Pats to beat the Raiders about 10 years ago and ended up having to mail the stub in to get paid. I was surprised I couldn't get paid in a sports book in Reno from a vegas sports book. I wonder if that has changed? Do you mean the same casino in Reno wouldn't honor their ticket from Vegas? That's weird. I don't know if that's changed, the last time I gambled in a casino was 2001 during my brother's Vegas bachelor party. I've only been to Vegas three times since, but strictly for the Shot Show. Not a single penny was wagered. There was no time, it took me 45 minutes to find the exit every time I wanted leave the hotel. |

I heard its great if you have ADHD and enjoy consuming football like its crack. You say that like it's a bad thing.

Redzone is the greatest thing to ever happen to not only football and NFL Sundays but ever lol. Seriously though if any of you do not have Redzone or have never seen it before, trust Wheelz and I, you need to get it! It really is the best piece of TV coverage for sports out there. It's relatively cheap too. I think with my YouTube TV package I'm paying something like $12/mo for it which it is part of a sports package where I get other channels as well.
YouTubeTV is the service I use. It's packed with sports channels already, probably more than any other service available in the US. What I find is a welcome surprise is the amount of soccer provided with the standard package, which is unheard of in TV services of US past. |

I'm sorry for being a dunce, but I was born that way and have been trying to rectify it ever since.
What is an "Electrum Node" and how do I get one?
This is the kind of report that makes conspiracy theories flourish: Block explorers as honeypots; wallet clients as possible honeypots; SPV servers as possible honeypots. Bitcoin does offer some level of privacy, but I don't believe that was highly prioritized function of the concept. Even if it was, governments and their taxing agencies will think of it as a war to be waged. The more financial privacy we have the less secure they're grasp on power. Any efforts we make to bolster our privacy will only lead to more of their resources being spent on thwarting those efforts. It's a war that will likely never end.
This discussion has made me a bit uneasy about my privacy, would someone be so kind as to grade the privacy of my set up:
I have an Ubuntu server running a full Bitcoin Core node and ElectrumX server. Both core and electrumx are connected through clear-net and tor, and open to the world. I connect all my electrum clients to my own server. How secure and private is this configuration?
One of the important things I've learned from this thread is that I'm still being somewhat insecure by using third party blockchain explorers, and I have not been using VPN or tor when doing so. I'll have to fix those habits, but also, I think I'll learn about mempool.space and possibly set it up on a VPS.

When in doubt: use Neutral. I agree with this. In your opinion should the negative tag remain or should I replace it with a neutral? If you have to ask, I assume you're not absolutely sure, so it shouln't be negative. It's also wise to ask yourself before leaving feedback: "Does my feedback make Bitcointalk a better place? And if it's negative: is it worth destroying someone's account and reputation over this?". Consider using Neutral feedback if neither Positive nor Negative is justified. I seem to recall a discussion about this very topic when Yobit came back from their ban and hired a bunch of spammers to advertise their 10x promotion scam. If I recall correctly the general consensus was that it was uncool to red-tag participants in the signature campaign. I don't know what changed, 1xbit is no more or less a scam than Yobit. Neither outfit has been able to attract quality participants, only sleepy alts and shitposters have applied. The managers of the campaigns don't seem to care if their signature is worn by red-tagged accounts, so there're no repercussions for the participants other than the tag itself, and most probably don't care since their using nearly worthless accounts that wouldn't qualify for any other signature campaigns anyway. All this business of tagging participant of the 1xbit campaign seems like a grasp at straws to me. I get it, I'm tired of all the scams here also and if the forum refuses to ban scammers or their advertising campaigns, this seems like the only recourse we have. But is it affective, or only leading to more drama? Maybe someone can enlighten me? |

the universe just fucking hates me!
Stick with that.  SouthPark has a serious Love Hate relationship with Derick Car!
Numbers don't lie but stats can be deceiving! I love this one quote that I don't remember who wrote, or exactly how it goes, but to paraphrase: Derek Carr is the most accurate quarterback in the league at passing a check-down for 5 yards or less on 3rd and 8.
One thing about fantasy football that I learned early on was to never play with your heart but only your head.
True, its just annoying because it usually means my players are scattered among several different teams, some of which I would otherwise have absolutely no interest in. Ultimately, its one of the good things about FF tho because it forces me to learn about other teams. Every bit of extra knowledge can help when it comes to placing bets I've learned. Don't know if you all have access but the red zone channel and fantasy football is like heaven on Sundays. Definately watch the giants when they are on but when they are not it's red zone action which usually I have one or a couple ff players playing in each shot. Football Sunday is great. I've tried, but it's too disjointed for me. I've never thought about from FF perspective, maybe I'll give it another shot. Confirmed, the universe hates me!
Daaaaamn, that's a big blow. Sorry for your loss, brother. I heard it's just a hamstring, so hopefully he'll be back next week. |

The only other option I have is Cordarrelle Patterson, who I just picked up on waiver.
I picked up Patterson as well on my other team and I'm gonna plug him in for Gordon this week. I think I like to gamble too much!I'm trying to find a way to put him my lineup this week, he's up against the Giants' D so he should have a good game. |

In retrospect I think you should have gone with your gut. Make sure to advise DireWolfM14 to keep Rodgers on the bench this week I'm tempted to bench Aaron Jones. I would hate to win my fantasy game at the expense of watching my Niners lose. Niners D is solid This is definitely the week to bench Jones. Lol, I'm truly torn over it. On one hand I do expect the 9ers to shutdown the run game early on, forcing the pass game. But on the other hand; last week Jones' production was mostly check-down receptions, three of them for TDs. Rodgers will always have 33 as the outlet if there are no downfield options. I don't expect production like last week (at least I hope not,) but if he meets his projections I'll be happy. The only other option I have is Cordarrelle Patterson, who I just picked up on waiver. The 9ers have a way of getting into Rodgers' head, he hasn't had a lot of success in San Francisco. We'll see, how he does tomorrow, but I think I'll stick with Allen for one more week before I decide to trade him for Daniel Jones...  Foiled by Hueristic once again! |

I don't doubt that the address in question (366PvEGTjf1UKWCjZGiPHPyqpFUuNJp9to) belongs to someone other than colires/vereole.
I do. Everything this colires guy says is a lie. This is like the 7th time he's been accused of scamming somebody on the forum under that account. Why wouldn't his new story also be a lie? Maybe I just can't (or don't want to) believe that he scammed 19 bitcoins in the last ten months.  Regardless, there's little doubt that colires poses a trading risk by this point.
Can't argue with that. There have been far too many scam accusations against him to brush them all off as retaliation as he's often claimed. The trouble for me has always been that his accusers haven't elicited much of my sympathy. This particular segment of this market is full of fraudsters, spammers, and scammers on both sides of the transactions. Case closed.
Until he shows up with the next alt account. |

I'm not doubting your story, just commenting that it's a weird way of doing business.
<snip>
Far too many coincidences to ignore, in my opinion.
Eh? So which is it, my man? I don't doubt that the address in question (366PvEGTjf1UKWCjZGiPHPyqpFUuNJp9to) belongs to someone other than colires/vereole. I am, however doubting the excuses and claims that they are not the same person. Too many consciences to disregard, including the fact that they used the same "exchanger" who allegedly owns that address.
ETA: Keep in mind that colires is doing "business" here (selling AWS, PayPal, exchange accounts etc) in a way that you can't really do with your real identity.
Indeed. On vereole's Telegram group he listed an offer to sell "PayPal funds at %50 off." This was right after a series of posts complaining about PayPal freezing his funds. My suspicion is that he's selling the actual account with the locked funds, so that the buyer has the burden of unlocking the funds. He's also been known to sell PayPal accounts here on the forum. There's no way to produce multiple paypal accounts using the same identification (unless it's a legitimate, documented business account) so there's obviously something nefarious going on. If nothing else the TOS of paypal are being violated by opening multiple accounts, and I highly doubt it's that innocuous. The accounts are most likely hacked, or created using stolen identification. Best case scenario; some scammer in Nigeria is creating these accounts with Nigerian identification documents purchased from his neighbors for a nickel. The same goes for AWS accounts, Revolute Banking accounts, and almost any other account that these shysters are slinging. |

Don't misinterpret this as me defending colires; he's dealing in digital property that's either stolen or hacked. How can you trust people who do that? Why do you think I refused?
Not a single one of my accounts are either stolen or hacked. Okay, maybe the more accurate way to describing it is to say that you're selling accounts that were made using stolen, forged, or coerced identification documents. I wonder how many of those accounts were made using the IDs of Nigerians who've never owned a computer in their life... So now is the problem that exchanger does not change his deposit address?
That's pretty weird, actually. If he has multiple exchanges going on at the same time, it would make it difficult to keep track of who's money is who's. When I first saw the screen shot I thought that maybe it was some automated Telegram bot doing the exchanges, which would make it even weirder that only one address is used. I'm not doubting your story, just commenting that it's a weird way of doing business. Whether the address belongs to you or not has become somewhat irrelevant. It does seem overwhelmingly coincidental that you and vereol have the same phone, use the same wireless network, use the same "exchanger," speak the same language, live in the same country, and redact images the same way. Far too many coincidences to ignore, in my opinion. |
