We might have a little bit of different ideas about masks, and I don't really consider them to be necessary when outdoors (especially if no one is around) or if you are in your car by yourself, so I have seen people wearing masks in those circumstances, and just seems to be overkill to me, but of course a personal choice, and great that they have masks, and  I understand that if someone just gets used to wearing a mask a lot of the time, then maybe they will fidget around less with it.

lotta cars have HEPA filters on the fresh air (cowl) intakes now. unsure what the rating is though.

check the manuals for your wheels.

and of course you need to know how to set the hvac controls correctly, including allowing for exhaust direction due to windows being open etc. rtfm dyor

maybe they are not enough, unsure but hey look it up for your make and model.

Stack your coins, live smart, and ride it out. Hopefully this will thin the herd of idiots in the world, this would not be a bad thing.

im all for culling idiots from the population. only problem is one idiot can take out dozens or more of responsible people. all it takes is one mistake on the part of the responsible person and there are soooo many idiots in the world.

otoh those "entitled" snowflakes are melting in droves. so there is that.

And truly  Roll Eyes finally in other semi-pornographic news:

Am not in fact much of a car guy, but I do love ones that look like this. Also appreciate the rarity and the fact that our wayward colonials down south actually did a good thing for once in their fly-blown lives.

phwoar

bet you could fit two turbo charged 390 CIDs in there.. one in the front, one in the back.

ala that mosler northstar caddy that they do that to.

Just like the death penalty is 100% effective at preventing homocides?


preventing future homicides by that person? yes it is.

1. I consider all those little fuckers and all the other altcoiners to be scammers. The altcoin experiment failed, and bitcoin can absorb any of their 'features' if necessary. They now exist purely to take people's bitcoin away by subterfuge. It's a finite resource; once it's gone it's very hard to get any more back.

2. I find these repetitive, variation on a theme memes to be like pornography. I need new and different all the time, otherwise I can't raise a smile.

i especially like ver in that cardboard tank. lol

The Ethereum forum hacker is now selling the databases of @Trezor and @Ledger.

Both of which obtained from a @Shopify exploit.

(suggesting there are many more underground leaks).

The hacker also claims he has the full SQL database of famous investing site @BankToTheFuture

ok, "claims" and 'suggestions', but let's all beef up security measures. obviously we didn't send these devices to our home addresses

but fuck

not too worried about the addys trezors were shipped to honestly. they were gifts and ballast for boats.

OTOH the internet queries and the addys/amounts made to their servers used to see balances and such. not good. if they were my balances of course. anyone know if those queries were part of the breach?

i have always meant to set up my own way to query trezor balances on my unpruned node instead of using trezors backend stuff but never got around to it. it was a pretty convulated procedure iirc. but nows time if there ever was one.

good grief

pizza day again already?

well, yeah.

but can you think of anything better than pizza (like instead *cough* silk road crap.. no thanks for that 1st real world price discovery)

but i may be misunderstanding.. things are off here and my mind is misfiring more than normal due to reasons.

To 'jberher' - not sure what you are up to here. But you seem to have chosen your username deliberately to be confused with me. I believe this against this forum's terms of use. If you post further, without first providing a tenable explanation for this choice of username, I shall be forced ask the mods to deal appropriately.

they forked your name?

Seems to be a breach of protocol.

consensus needed. i vote on your side.

Satoshis Bitcoin have no chance of being moved until Hal Finney cryogenic preserved body is revived in 100+ years from now. If Hal was Satoshi, they will do everything in their power to bring him back to life when Bitcoin is the global reserve currency.

That would be awesome. It's year 2100, countries around the world were competing for the last 50yrs to be the first one to revive Hal. One finally succeeds.
[...]
In reality, if Bitcoin does take over, Hal Finneys body will be worth more than ANYTHING....just on the mere speculation that he remembers or knows the method of retrieving the private keys.

those early coins will be grabbed when quantum computers of sufficient capacity arrive. 10+ years maybe. so Hal is not needed for the coins. but for his possible knowledge of the true satoshi.. welcome back Hal (i hope).

edit: no i dont want to know who satoshi is. but thats up to Hal. and if thats the reason to thaw him out so be it. i just want him back. he got a raw deal.
2053  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Satoshi Nakamoto a.k.a. Glenn M. Lilly (mathematician for the NSA) on: May 21, 2020, 11:23:11 AM
You're right about saying that anyone that creates something as good as this would love to take credit, and that's why there has been a lot of people coming out from nowhere and claiming to be Satoshi Nakamoto. And if you check other cryptocurrencies, those that created them are not being kept secret.

take credit. why? if it really takes off you would be a huge target because of the amount of money you control and its direction (having mined so many when it was trivial and no one knew/cared), or taking blame if it tanks eventually and takes peoples fortunes with it. both ways could have serious disadvantages.. to say the least.

if i were satoshi (ha!) i would merely stash coins away here and there in random blocks he certainly could of mined early, but not too early.. once he had the software tweaked more to prevent that fingerprint the early versions left in the nonce (or whatever it was). as anonymously as possible. sneak them out as needed. im sure satoshi could do that and it would set him up for life anyway. i mean how many coins does he need? and he was that good obviously.

but then again im stupid, so my lines of reasoning im sure are flawed.

In addition to that, we notice that the coinbase was split toward two addresses 80%-20%.
The biggest past was sent to a legacy address, while the 20% was sent to a Segwit address (and then some dust from there to Coinbase).
This could mean someone lost the password to an old wallet and the recovery firm took a cut of the 20% (not that uncommon Percentage).

this is what makes the most sense to me. which means its wrong of course.

edit: BTW no password built into on core (QT?) wallet back then. but an encrypted hard drive or file maybe, so about the same thing.
2056  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: May 20, 2020, 05:56:36 PM
Bitcoin remains the best investment on the block, even if more Armageddon-like circumstances end up playing out way more than we would have wished them to be.. and yeah there could be some shutting down of the internet and communications, too but is that really going to bring down the value of bitcoin and our ability to store it and perhaps transmit value from time to time, as needed in it?  Yeah, sure, buy yourself some guns, bullets and maybe even a bunker, and hopefully that does not take up too much of your current resources that you cannot keep a decent amount of your value in bitcoin a the same time..

wow and i though i was the doom and gloom guy. im far too small a target to worry. even us average folks have investments and advisers.
2057  Economy / Economics / Re: Coinbase from February 2009 has just been moved! on: May 20, 2020, 03:40:41 PM
didnt some very early bitcoin versions have a pay to ip addy or some much easier to hack format..

maybe this is one of them?

EDIT: wait this is the coinbase, not a tx. never mind.

EDIT 2: and to a segwit addy? or is it multisig? anyone know?
2058  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: May 20, 2020, 11:18:00 AM
but i have reallocated the percentage of these "classes" over the years too, and bitcoin has been much more prominent of late. both from a sound money point of view and a ridiculously preforming asset/investment. if push comes to shove, bitcoin will be the last thing to sell if it comes to that.

Sounds like a crude and real world description of Gresham's law combined with reallocation motivations.

pretty much. only its done my way in my head. end result is the same(ish); get rid of the crap and convert to something that stands a chance of surviving.

interestingly enough when i was talking to the financial peeps the other day, one of them brought bitcoin up for a quick opinion on how i think its doing. we always discuss it even though he always recommends selling some off.. and thats what i pay him for, his honest opinion. he acknowledges its been the best investment hes ever seen. but its still unproven when you get right down to it. another said that cash in banks or any form is not a good place to be going forward. even the stock market is not really a safe place anymore in the timelines we discussed (as if it ever was IMO), inflation will be a killer and she cant see anyway around that. of course thats obvious to us but when financial people are getting the drift you know somethings up.

this is a very simplified version of the discussions though.



however as much as i believe bitcoin is the future of money/wealth/store of value/whatever you want to call it i do live in the present. and i do realize that my "plan," while it has worked in the past, may need drastic revision at any point.

never stop learning.

Fair enough.  If all of a sudden, some very large and unanticipated expense rolled into your door.. you might have to say fuck.  And, you might have liquidate a decently large portion of your bitcoin's even though it was either last or towards the end of you liquidation list.

Nice for us to have those kinds of options, even though they do not necessarily resolve all issues that might end up coming in our direction.. including some major issues that could undermine our bitcoin stash, too..

yeah, we have discussed "fuck you" amounts of money here before. however i can easily see a "no, fuck YOU" looming on the horizon.
2059  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: May 20, 2020, 10:25:43 AM
At this moment I only have one alternative, very repeated in your posts, "I will assign a minimum weekly amount" so as not to miss the train.
It is the first time since I bought Bitcoin that I have been forced to sell.
I feel a little strange, a btc bull without btc Angry, I hope it does not affect me mentally and continue to share the good and bad moments in WO, I do not like the idea of ​​getting away from here.

you may be on the sidelines at the moment but at least youre still looking at the right game. thats the main thing.
2060  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: May 20, 2020, 10:13:28 AM
Good morning WO,s starting the day with strength, without looking back, with a different perspective but with optimism.

yeah, hopefully honey badger is bored enough lately to wander through that resistance level thing in its travels today.
