I have a Lenovo M58 computer that was left out in the rain, and I will experiment with reviving this, and if possible I will install Kali and the shape shift software. The computer has been drying out over the last month, and if I can find a USB keyboard, I'll experiment with it during the next few days.
as long as it was powered off at the timeit will likely be OK. just let it dry for an extended amount ot time as you have done. mechanical drives and battery would not be trustable but other that that should be fine. i regularly wash cases, motherboards and keyboards by hand or in dishwashers when i refurbish junker PCs for donations or just to keep as backup machines. toss a cheapie SDD in, maybe oil the fans if you can get to them. waterlogged optical drives are hit and miss but they are dirt chap anyway. but again i dont like trusting (laptop) battery packs that have gone through stuff like that. damn thing can burn underwater ffs EDIT: this is a desktop? then replace the mechanical drive, check or toss new fans in, replace the cr232 battery. good to go. unless that liquid was corrosive or something. but flood damage (fresh or grey water) is usually OKish. however some floodwater carries some really nasty pathogens (sewage! eeew) and chemicals, bleh of course salt water is death to electronics usually.

..and quoting "someone": I am starting to dislike here too...too much politics. Real friends don't talk about politics because doing so is bad for friendship.
Yeah. I get it. I'll show myself to the door. Was fun. Peace. <EOL> Jesus Christ man your acting like a bitch, Sack up. Smash those ballz with some plates in you need too. probably immune to those stock titanium plates now. maybe add spikes and heat them to 451F degrees for a change up. add power assist perhaps

jbreher likes to pump them up too, I wonder why that is? He might want to chime his picnic bear ass into the mix, as well.
I don’t pump coinbase up so much as I point out that for a good number of use cases, they are apparently the best option. ive sent people there (USA) as its easy and about as legal as you can get (insured regulated etc). add they have whitelist withdrawal addys and that vault thing for long (well medium to us) term storage. they can use yubikeys as addition 2FA for peeps that dont really get the reasons and tech like hardware wallets and such, understanding seeds, private keys and all that stuff thats second nature to us its not bad. later as they learn they can pull the corn to a proper wallet.

Yabut. Your significant other will get sick of you after a while.
my wife was already sick of me we have been able to visit friends though, we will visit and hang on their decks which can accommodate us with space to social distance. or vice versa. and we just bring our own drinks and snacks. and instead of going out to businesses we have done a lot of nature walks and exploring nearby.

I suppose when you think about it, the chances of someone randomly guessing your email and bank password are much higher than getting access to your BTC. Email 30 characters max and passwords 6 to 16. That is a lot less combinations to try. except the bank will lock your online access after a set number of failed logins, typically three. the only limit to how many guesses you can try for bitcoin private key is your computational power.

Please tell me i did not just read that he is keeping his bitcoins (having a total current value of $27,789) long term on a mobile phone ?
Yup. That's right. $25,000 worth of coins in Mycelium on a Samsung Galaxy Note 5 (at least it's not a 7!). He has backed up the seed in paper form (IIRC) and has also set up a spending PIN in case the phone is lost or stolen. He should at least get it out of his phone and just keep the seed. Will tell him next time we talk. fwiw, while i wouldnt trust a phone wallet with that much corn for years and years, i have had the same mycelium wallet on my phones since my samsung note 4. only spending money type amounts. i just reenter the seed into the new phone as i upgrade. never had an issue. although the notes/label i enter for a transaction like "this amount for this thing" doesnt transfer, just the full tx history and balance. gonna need to be careful moving them out of the wallet as he may want to salvage the bcash_lol and bsv (eeeeww) im glad btc may be a (the?) key to this persons financial stability. but we know thats what bitcoin does.

People need to THINK. And stop politicizing this as much as possible, in my humble opinion.
I have no clue what your talking about, all we have to do is stop testing for this to go away. Critical thinking my ass.man what an eye opener. i just realized that if we dont check for dead people and death certificates are never filled out we will all become IMMORTAL! jeeze why hasnt this been done. are we that stupid? BTW what does this word "thinking" mean. cant find it in my new, special dictionary for 2020

W.O. Monthly for June
I’ve just been reading all of the W.O. pages for June 2020. @fillippone already made monthly stats so i made a little bit different this time. Analysis is based on my reading and counting page by page, word by word, no shortcuts, no database used, so there could be some mistakes. 2 days spent for counting.
Some used words during the month of June:
[...] the only 2 days without the f words: June 7, June 28
ok so peeps who posted on those dates need to go back and edit the posts so they all include that F word thing. cuz the universe will not balance otherwise. i think. thusly (only showing 1 of my 2 posts): yeah thats my attitude too. we may be walking (or sleeping) on a narrow ledge with potentially killer drops on all sides but its where and how you land that counts. so may as well enjoy the view. edit for july 4th: f word thing

Q2 of 2020 will go to history as a very good quarter. In few years time everyone will forget that we had a covid-19 crash at end of March. They will just see a 42% increase. i dunno.. 42% either way in a quarter seems kinda meh now tbh

Researchers Expose Flaw in Bitcoin Wallets That Could Be Exploited for Double-Spendinghttps://www.coindesk.com/researchers-expose-flaw-in-bitcoin-wallets-that-could-be-exploited-for-double-spendingA standard way to transact bitcoin could be vulnerable to double-spending, new research has found. Blockchain sleuths at ZenGo, a wallet startup, have found a vulnerability that affected at least three major crypto wallets – Ledger Live, Edge and Breadwallet (BRD) – and potentially more.
The bug, which the Tel Aviv-based firm calls BigSpender, allows a hacker to double-spend a user’s funds and possibly prevent them from ever using their wallet again. It works by exploiting a flaw in Bitcoin’s replace-by-fee (RBF) function, a failsafe that enables users to swap an unconfirmed transaction with one that has a higher fee. Better keep an eye out on wallet updates. my version of a TL;DR wait for 6 confirmations to avoid attack part one use wallet with coin control to avoid attack part two

Also copied from the link: https://www.coindesk.com/researchers-expose-flaw-in-bitcoin-wallets-that-could-be-exploited-for-double-spendingHowever, ZenGo researchers found there is a second order attack, which follows the same scheme outlined above, which could permanently disable a wallet with or without the victim’s knowledge of the transaction. In this case, the attacker again artificially inflates a victim’s balance by sending repeated transactions to her wallet. This can be done without a victim’s consent. By canceling the transactions before confirmed, the victim’s stated wallet balance and actual funds are again decoupled, making their wallet unusable. Worse, the attack can affect multiple wallets at the same time. a wallet with coin control will (should? correct me if wrong) nullify this second kind of attack. so a coin control capable wallet is still usable in that particular case.

So, in the meantime I thought I would fire up an old bitcoin wallet from 2014 and see just what I was spending coins on.
Some gems include:
Wii U console: .5 bitcoins, $4,600 in today's money Delivered Pizza including tip: .02btc, $184 Towels for the house: .4 bitcoin, $3680
While it is true I have been able to enjoy these things for the past 6 years, they did wind up costing me a lot. Something to keep in mind if you sell your bitcoins today, in 6 years you might be thinking "I could have bought xxxxx with that money"
years ago steam took btc. so at todays values i have like ~20 grand of steam games (couple bitcoins worth - maybe a couple hundred bucks at the time many years ago). bought i think like 4 or 5 games and a steam controller. i even played a few. one shows 3 minutes total time, couple others less than 30 minutes. i think there was one i that i played through.

A $5 wrench is too damn cheap. And too damn effective!
yeah but with the brrrrr machines whirling away that $5 wrench will soon cost $50. so its getting more costly to attack us by the day, looks like.
