cant wait for one to come around here, just to buy some to support it. on a related note, the coinstar machines around here (the change sorting machine you see at some supermarkets) dont offer bitcoin yet even though apparently some do.. bummer. i remember those machines being a life saver back when i was broke af. |

so instead of the four horses of the apocalypse we get the four oompaloompas? the world sure is going down hill. |

So I was thinking on this whole trump rally thing without masks.
If his supporters all show up and start getting sick and he takes away their right to mail in a vote then how the hell is he gonna get re-elected when they are all sick?
he doesnt plan on leaving whether he win or loses. so it matters not how many of his supporters die and cant vote. |

Is 5 figures too much to ask?  Nah! It was never to hard to ask but from last few weeks it seems the market is liking the range of $9.2k to $9.7kish. Once only it broke $10k but then again came back to it's own range LOL 6 figures or bust.
Not so fast, we need strength. man whats with the doom and gloom. a few pages back it was $100k+ we were shooting for. everyone run out of coke or meth or something? |

Possibly the next pump is on the way. Observing @ $9,458
Hopefully, we’ve been trading in this current range for what feels like a very long time. Is 5 figures too much to ask? only 5 figures? why so pessimistic? 6 figures or bust. |

Mmmm so JJG you’re always awake?
as long as JJGs power source is on. rarely, JJG goes down for scheduled upgrades. you can tell those periods when his (her?) programmers are forced to type a response on JJGs downtime; typically those are one or two lines, and sometimes they are not punctuated correctly. JJGs uptime has been impressive though. hot swap stuff mostly i assume. |

Yeah, tried VM also. Managed to set it up, but after restart there was a display issue.The VM appeared as a square in the middle of the screen, leaving about half the distance to each side unused. Basically meaning that my display had shrunk by 50%.I looked through all the display options on Mint, but the best I could find was "maximize windows". Which did indeed maximize the VM window - but not what was displayed in the window...I still downloaded one of my favourite games and managed to log into my account. After loading was finished, it took me back to the account screen, though.
I also cound not connect an external hd, usb port was not detected. Might have to do with the passthrough-option you mentioned (which I have not looked into. Is that on Mint or VM or both?).
But I agree that having a properly working Win-VM on Linux would be the best of both worlds.
may be way off here buy when setting up VMs on my supermicro server i needed special video drivers for that funky VGA only chip in the server (BMC chip..? sorry half asleep), until i had that particular distros special server chips vga driver all my GUIs in the VM looked like crap. wrong resolution, weird colors sometimes, laggy as crap. once that driver was loaded all the VMs displays came up proper over the network. sorry if im not reading this correctly but ive only on my 5th coffee. |

I’m into weed now. ...
You and me both bro, though I gave up using it years ago. Legal growing is far more fun, healthy and lucrative. do you ever try to makes extracts (oils, wax etc) or just straight up smoke the bud? asking for SWIM |

And thank you to everyone who gave me my first merits. I appreciate it.
1st: Welcome! no need to thank for merits, they just flow when good posts are made. so please dont take offense but generally we dont thank for them. when you deserve em, you get them. at least here in the WO thread. perhaps im wrong though. being polite cant hurt. others may chime in on this, as im not very socially adept. and your 1st ones are kinda cool again, no offense meant. |

..... i live within my means and plan accordingly.
I absolutely live within my means also and will never go in cc debt again. It's just that it's not always convenient to pay with cash. I just swipe and pay off every month. The only time I have a wad of cash in my pocket is when I sell my annual crop of.... (ehem) ....tomatoes!   idea being i would either draw on cash reserves and/or sell whatever needed to make up the difference. so "cash" is just the easiest way to describe it.. NO loan and debt would be taken, or i simply dont buy it. so, really a check (perhaps a bank check), once i knew the account could cover it, was used. cash can be.. awkward. which speaks volumes as to where this society is going. |

https://medium.com/swlh/the-greatest-capitalist-scam-of-the-century-why-credit-scores-are-screwing-us-all-over-7f6b607e745dThe sad fact is that two-thirds of Americans can’t pass a basic financial literacy test, and it’s not getting better at a rapid pace, either.
That's the gist of it. I learned many years ago after going bankrupt (entirely my fault, young and stupid) you have to play the credit game correctly and follow the mostly unwritten rules he spells out. I did that and over the years since my bankruptcy my credit score is virtually perfect now... 830 or something. I don't really care tbh. I only know that, not because I check it (I don't, that's bad for credit score) but when re-upping my last car lease, the salesperson mentioned he never sees folks come in with perfect credit scores. a while back at a bank they wanted to do a "financial wellness score." whatev. so one question was "what do you think your credit score is?" my answer: i dont care. they were kinda put off.. like what if you need a loan. i told them i will pay cash for whatever i need a loan for. as i DONT do debt. they were not really impressed. kept telling me i may need it. i just told them i dont play that game any more. i live within my means and plan accordingly. |

Sad to now but only with taxation we will have real adoption and legalization
agreed. perhaps im wrong, but once something is taxable, that adds legitimacy. after all you dont tax illegal gains.. like there is no tax on selling heroin on the streets. or taxing bribes. etc. |

Not wanted by you, maybe. Do you speak for the entire community? I'm sure many people would welcome a way to store small, critical pieces of data, safe in the knowledge that the data can never be lost and they can access it any time in the future.
This is not just about private individuals storing their favourite cat pictures though, you need to think bigger. How about law firms storing important legal information? Think bigger.
what happens when the encryption is inevitably broken and all those sensitive files are now out in the open? EDIT: as the thread starter you can lock this thread yourself i believe. but an answer to my question 1st would be cool. |

I’m not going to answer this with any clue as to what sea dwelling creature I am but I saw this before & it made me laugh. I imagine we have all types of so called sea creatures related to bitcoin, swimming around the WO at times What's your Bitcoin rank?Humpback Whale = 5000 BTC or more Whale = 1000 - 5000 BTC Shark = 500 - 1000 BTC Dolphin = 100 - 500 BTC Fish = 50 - 100 BTC Octopus = 10 - 50 BTC Crab = 1 - 10 BTC Shrimp = less then 1 BTC plankton |

The real satoshi told you what happens to minority forks ... A second version would be a massive development and maintenance hassle for me. It's hard enough maintaining backward compatibility while upgrading the network without a second version locking things in. If the second version screwed up, the user experience would reflect badly on both, although it would at least reinforce to users the importance of staying with the official version. If someone was getting ready to fork a second version, I would have to air a lot of disclaimers about the risks of using a minority version. This is a design where the majority version wins if there's any disagreement, and that can be pretty ugly for the minority version and I'd rather not go into it, and I don't have to as long as there's only one version.
I know, most developers don't like their software forked, but I have real technical reasons in this case.
...snip...
were there not two versions of the client early one? the official of course but also a second one written from scratch independently updated to be protocol level compatible by someone else. satoshi could ignore it so no extra work for him. as a second client can be useful in case a bug takes out one version. but core has been amazingly robust though. but maybe im thinking ethereum.. i know that one had a couple. |
