Lose the password, not the seed words. And if your wallet is that old to not have seed words, then make a new one and move the funds to it so you can have those seed words. With the seed words you don't need a backup of the wallet either.

Best they can do is track which coins have not moved in a number of years. Since most were lost in the early days, i suppose those with 10 year+ inactivity are a safe bet.

On the other hand, most coins that there ever will, have already been made. So yeah, 18million out of 21, with 120 years to go for the remainder most of which will be minted earlier since production (mining) is designed to slowdown into a crawl.

In reality it isn't much different from using your raspberry pi in a car, and that might actually be better than hacking the infotainment system. I know that in the Model S this is separate from the basic car functions and this might also be true in the model 3. But remember the model 3 only has one single screen for everything, the driver needs this to be working at all times without glitches.

Of course as with running on any embedded device with flash storage, perhaps a "full node" doesn't make any sense. I also don't know if the Tesla can use wifi, i know it uses mobile data. There is also a secondary (hidden) mobile data link the company uses for telemetry, which is probably not in the infotainment side.

If the infotainment can use wifi, the 250+gb download isn't an issue, but it should be trimmed just like you would in a raspi. Forget full nodes, and using rotating drives in a car isn't a good idea and i doubt spending in a 500gb thumb/sd/ssd is worth it, just leave the full node running in your home.

Then again you will not notice much advantage in running a node in your car's infotainment system. Its cool but meh.

If its not sustainable it will cease to exist quickly and it would not make any sense. You might as well do the same on social media or streaming video where at least the teaching will remain online for anyone to see later and not limited to "3 rooms".

It might make more sense if you intend to make videos from it, knowingly that without any funds you'll probably close it after 1 class anyway.

And you need the most important lesson of them all (no.1) What is Bitcoin. If you are not willing to talk about Bitcoin, don't come talking about Satoshi.

Another one losing the wallet/password... Did Peter ever came here to read the gazillion warnings about making the seed words and securely store that handwritten paper with said seed words? Seriously the password (or wallet) no one cares, but if you don't do this you will lose your funds. Let this warning serve to anyone reading this message.

Well on the good side, for every (formerly) rich bitcoiner losing their wallet, value of bitcoin as a whole increases a little bit. Its like burning coins, so i guess he unwillingly gave a large donation to the community.

It is pointless because you can simply not declare it. It is not terribly difficult to keep a wallet hidden from the government. The only way the State may have some chance of taxation, is probably VAT since they can audit the movement of physical goods (inventories, etc), services utility bills, or an annual fee for the ownership of luxury things like property, lambos etc. Not that i particularly endorse taxes or the State...

Oh and always remember this: bitcoin never comes in or goes out from your country. Everything occurs in the blockchain, the blockchain resides in the world (anyone can run a node and be part of it).

No, bitcoin is backed in nothing. This means the USD can crash, while bitcoin retains its purchasing power. If the USD crashes, bitcoin will NOT be pulled down by it, quite the contrary, since both are untied, the price of bitcoin in USD simply skyrockets, but not because is climbing, just because the USD is crashing. To compare in that hypothetical scenario, think the price of bitcoin in EUR would remain (actually the USD can pull the EUR, both being fiats tied to the flawed school of Chicago economy).

Note that this has little or nothing to do with debt. If you do switch to the Austrian school, the debt is still there, but at least you could start paying it. However if you want to untie your money from the madness of the global economy, bitcoin is your best bet. Precious metals may also work, but their handling and online use sucks.

If they did that "suddenly" as you say, only about 10% will be able to cash out. I don't call fractional reserve banking a ponzi scheme to look dramatic, the money doesn't exist.

If its done slowly, it would give time for banks to shrink, and likely most people will be able to cash out. Unfortunately bankruns occur when people get scared, and the truth about fractional reserve banking is very scary.

The current dominating school of economy needs people getting in debt, and inflation is part of their equation. Once you bring a "hard currency" that doesn't lose purchasing value, the magic begins.

I know you cannot trigger the critical mass for this panic, but as a thought experiment be aware that humanity as a whole has dug too deep into the fractional reserve banking scheme to be able to exit. The money simply isn't there. Of course they could "print" it, but before any significant amount of people is able to withdraw it, it will be valueless.

The transition towards Bitcoin seems to be occurring smoothly. Done it slow enough, the banks have tome to shrink, recall back loans, close locations, reduce personnel, etc. A post bitcoin world doesn't need that many banks and they are destined to shrink anyway. If the world DOES panic, those that are already into bitcoin will be safe, while those holding fiat will probably lose it or end out with about 10% of its purchasing power.

"Don't panic."

The same way Windows differs with minesweeper.

Tails is a Linux distro with tor. Of course, you can add tor to any other distro, as is the mission of any distro, its simply "done already". Its especially useful when running the live iso in a public computer. For technical intent and purposes, it is Debian, so the hardware support is as good as in Debian (stable). So if you want to find if your wifi works, try to search Debian + wifi device model. It may, or may not work by default in the likes of Ubuntu, which tend to have a little better hardware support (more blobs included by default).

It looks as unfriendly in spanish. The site seems to be barely functional, i think its brand new, so no reputation. Unfortunately there would be no way to know if they are legit or they will run with everyone's money...

Regarding the proxy ("SmartAgent"), the documentation online is now better. This new version (3.0.5) seems to be working correctly, only thing is i notice this in the log:


I do hope the proxy isn't trying only the first server 3 times rather than the 3 different servers specified in the json config file. It is occasional, but sometimes my miner cannot connect to VA but connects fine to BJ... So i would like the proxy to do the same in case VA fails to connect.

Also i noticed the option "offline_keep_mining":true is no longer in the provided json file and documentation. I assume this feature is always true?

---

PS: Unfortunately if the proxy loses connection for too long, it quits. This makes the offline keep mining feature (if it still exists) unusable.

No, you should go the other way around, especially when "beginning" and your ambient conditions are not clear. That is, use the most power saving feature you can, lower their rate so they can be efficient in power use and lower temperature, at least until you have everything perfectly set up.

You underestimate the amount of air a single S17 needs, let alone 6!!! I think maybe 300~400 cfm per unit, i have yet to know what's the exact figure for S17s, since i only remember the S9's 250cfm.

For filters i think those used for central ac units, the ones you can take out and clean with water, they are very large so don't be surprised. Yes, when thinking fans, and ducts, think large, as in wall sized large...

Hmm since you plan to remove the door, that could be the air intake, as that would probably be about the right size. Or maybe use those bricks with holes?

Wood is.. hmm i don't think very safe. Grounded metal should be preferred in my opinion.

If you think things are starting to feel "industrial", it is because that's what those asic miners really are. Its not just the power, its also the ventilation. Lone gone are the days of the humble R4 (or the S7LN), mine is still running in an actual living room...

Constant switching requires the use of #xnsub. Was this removed from newer gear?

I agree that nicehash isn't the best way of running a sha256 miner, and they have shady past record forcing loses to their clients when hacked, etc.

No, he wants to force flash the LEDs so you are able to physically "locate" a miner within a bunch of running miners.

BraiinsOS has this in the UI and with the cli command miner fault_light on. Maybe he wants to do it with factory firmware...

Don't forget Seoul also has the Gimpo airport (GMP), maybe it doesn't serve long distance routes but I'm not 100% sure, it does connect with Japan...

Lightlord started a thread for that, try posting your application there: Looking for another Campaign Manager for Bitvest and 777Coin

Sure, as explained here: https://docs.braiins-os.org/#option-b-install-using-ssh

python3 upgrade2bos.py your-miner-hostname-or-ip

Of course you need to satisfy the requirements before doing that line, mostly just having python3 and the other python pre-requisites.

It might be easier for newbies to use the sd card install method, but that single command line works just fine. And yes after having the pre-requisites fulfilled you can literally use just that line for each of the rest of your miners.

This is exactly it. Its a subtle form of raising awareness. Its also like when you wear the (BTC) logo in a t-shirt or a sticker in your laptop whatever. Even if they don't know what it is, they will remember in the future.

Originally paypal was to send funds (wire?) to people via email. The banks had no idea but it worked, i think they used the credit card system. The original paypal was an app for the Palm, which is the actual meaning of the pal at the end of the end ("Pay with your Palm").

The Palm was a PDA, a predecessor to the smartphone, a device long gone into obscurity.

Once you accept bitcoin, the rest of the altcoins become are trivial, for the most part anyway. Realistically the shop would probably exchange "whatever" into what they actually want to have anyway.

Yet he made Paypal (and Tesla, SpaceX, Boring, yadda)... But jokes aside, i wonder if that mysterious tweet was some sort of tip. He is the opposite of McAfee, few words and lots of action.

Anyway we have been expecting a "bull" of sorts before the halving, if nothing because of the simple expectancy of it.

And he is certainly not clueless about Bitcoin. Hopefully he has some stashed without telling anyone. The moderator can't take the joke about painting the bitcoin (BTC) logo in one of SpaceX rockets, but you will see.

No, he/she/they can't login before the admin unlocks the account, and he won't do that unless he gets proof, probably the signing everyone demands at the very least...

Of course Craig has failed to provide such a thing.

Dystopia, gloomy dark. Corporations rule, people oppressed by the State. Frequent abuse by rogues and officials, with ID theft innocent getting imprisoned and whatnot. The global weather changed to even more frequent devastation, hunger, violence. Perhaps Halflife2 like.
