It's nice to see Miller taking two in a row, and one of them was a dry race, lol.  

Four Three ducati riders are in the top four, this is a good record. Besides that yesterday was a very exciting race due to rain, the change of motorbikes was full of drama and penalties. I actually supported yamaha at Le Mans but the rain changed all.
In some racing periods I have seen Ducati win on wet tracks. They seem very used to the rain. This result make Miller as a winner broke several records, one of them even though he got two long lap penalties he was able to win.

I hated the days when Lorenzo or Marques were running away with the championship.  It makes the latter half of the season kinda boring.  This is turning out to be a great start in my opinion.  I would love to see Yamaha and Ducati battle it out until Valencia.


No need to be observer, I'm as a motoGP lover can even say that Rossi's period was over since few years back.
He is not as competitive as when he was young, he should not force himself to continue his motoGP career if he feels that he is not competitive anymore.
He should have done it few years ago IMO when Marquez started the domination in MotoGP.

I hope Rossi hangs in there for the whole season, not that I think he'll be competitive but it's good to see him out there at his age.  The dude is a legend, and has been a dominant force for two decades.  It'll be a sad day when he does retire, the end of an era.

I've been on Coinbase Pro and Binance.US all morning with no issues.  I just logged into the main Coinbase site, and again, no issues.  It seems like all the major services are hit and miss right now.  Many of these types of threads are popping up all around social media.  Panic sellers and bargain hunters are having field day.

2164  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum+EPS+Trezor - All connected but zero balance? on: May 18, 2021, 04:06:59 PM
It must be a problem with Electrum communicating with Trezor to know that it has the private keys available to sign those UTXOs? Not sure how those two talk to each other to get that information across if thats even how it works

It's not.  Trezor (any hardware wallet) only shares the xpub (master public key) with Electrum.  No private keys are ever shared, that's the point of using a hardware wallet.

When you say EPS do you mean Electrum Personal Server?  I've never used Electrum Personal Server, so I can't comment on any configuration settings, but I would suspect that's the issue.  If you allow your Electrum client to select a server automatically does is show the correct balance?
2165  Other / Meta / Re: Don't you think some people in the forum are giving too much importance to Elon? on: May 18, 2021, 02:18:26 PM
I'd love to have a -Elon -Musk -Tesla filter on Bitcointalk, so I wouldn't even see this topic and wouldn't have posted here.

Unfortunately, I think that would be a bad idea.  As much as I would like the pump-and-dump scammer to STFU, ignoring him could be more damaging than putting up with the hype.  Lets face it; he has influence and until the cryptoverse learns to ignore him, that's not going away.


The guy is a fucking clown.

He's more than that, he's a fucking scammer.

Tesla is a company run on fear.  They employ a lot of people who work in a similar manufacturing environment as I do.  Being a local company I've had interactions with engineers who work for them, and although they are paid a handsome salary, they are also expected to work 60 to 70 hours a week.  Those who work for him will refer to him as an "opportunist."  I don't thing the word "opportunist" automatically has bad connotations, but ethics should be considered for every oportunity.

He's getting away with all sorts of shit just because he's a Wall Street darling.

Ironically he said some shit on Twatter to pump Tesla stock about year and half ago, and the feds slapped him with a $20m fine.  So now that he's learned not to fuck with Wall Street, he decided to try his influence on meme coins.

Edit: adjusted numbers to account for some duplicates and words like "felon" (LOL).

Shit, I already used the word "irony" in this post.
2166  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin TapRoot Update? on: May 18, 2021, 03:26:53 AM
I'm incapable of explaining the technical aspects of it, but it's a soft fork, not a hard fork.  No new chain, it implements a more efficient script along with a more efficient script signing algorithm that're compatible with the same chain.  From what I've read the more efficient coding will allow more transactions per block, and thus result in a faster network and lower fees.  It also allows more complex transactions (like multi-sig) to consolidate signatures, reducing fees and improving privacy for those types of transactions.

This is from Bitcoin Core 0.21.1 release notes:

## Taproot Soft Fork

Included in this release are the mainnet and testnet activation
parameters for the taproot soft fork (BIP341) which also adds support
for schnorr signatures (BIP340) and tapscript (BIP342).

If activated, these improvements will allow users of single-signature
scripts, multisignature scripts, and complex contracts to all use
identical-appearing commitments that enhance their privacy and the
fungibility of all bitcoins. Spenders will enjoy lower fees and the
ability to resolve many multisig scripts and complex contracts with the
same efficiency, low fees, and large anonymity set as single-sig users.
Taproot and schnorr also include efficiency improvements for full nodes
such as the ability to batch signature verification.  Together, the
improvements lay the groundwork for future potential
upgrades that may improve efficiency, privacy, and fungibility further.

For our test week seeing min fees here it would be like 8-10% of funds, will try to find someone with lower fees in our case.  Smiley

I'll provide escrow free of charge, send me a PM if you're interested.

All they care about is making the required number of posts in as little time as possible to fulfil their bounty campaign's quota, and the bounty campaigns are happy to pay for complete trash because their made up tokens are free to print.

It's not just bounty campaigns, there are plenty of high ranking members in the most reputable signature campaigns that do the same the thing.  It's less obvious when the member has decent writing skills and makes comprehensible posts, but there's enough blame to spread around.

Yep, I'm guilty of this from time to time myself.

Self assessment and acknowledgment of our faults is a hard step to take, but once we make that difficult leap half the battle is won.  We all have our lapses in judgement, misinterpret something that was said in a previous post, or simply overlook a point that was already made.  Topics evolve, and sometimes we're interested in responding the original subject, but not the tangential subjects to which the topic has evolved.  As long as we're making pertinent and constructive posts that contribute to the discussion we're making the forum better.

Leicester basically just have to beat Chelsea to confirm their Champions league spot. Where as, Chelsea have to beat Leicester and Aston Villa away to confirm their Champions league spot. Liverpool have a great chance of taking that 4th spot as current 3rd and 4th have a tough draw ahead.

Obviously nothing is guaranteed, LFC still have to take care of business against Crystal Palace and Burnley.  On paper it looks like they're a shoe-in, but this is the Premier League and anything can happen.  For example; your season can look like it's all but over until a miraculous stoppage time goal from your goalie keeps your hopes and dreams alive.

LFC is in a great spot, however.  If they do take care of business, either Chelsea or Leicester will have no choice but to help them out.  
2172  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Core 0.21.1 Released on: May 17, 2021, 02:32:16 PM
There was also another annoying thing that happened when I tried to renew the certificate: Sectigo revoked the one that was about to expire, with a backdated revocation. This means that any release that was code signed with that certificate now shows even scarier warnings when you try to install it. This affects 4 released versions and we will be re-releasing those versions once we get the new certificate.

So, when you tried to renew the certificate, they revoked it retroactively due to their new national-registration policy?  Talk about salt on the wound.  It seems like they should have warned you that was going to be case when they enacted the new policy late last year. 

Thanks for the explanation (and everything else you and dev team do.)  Best of luck with the certificate.
2173  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Core 0.21.1 Released on: May 17, 2021, 04:02:14 AM
Note that for this release, due to issues with acquiring a Windows code signing certificate, the Windows installer is not code signed. This means that there will be additional warnings when attempting to run the Windows installer.

Not that it's a big deal (signatures match the hashes, hashes match the files) but I'm just curious what the issue is.  Is this just a delay, or will the certificate remain unobtainable?

FYI, other than the extra Windows notification I had no issue updating.

This message is quite vague. One of the possible version is you're using outdated OS which has very old version of Qt 5
Mageia-7.1 was a few weeks ago the last version of Mageia.

Version 7.1 was first released nearly two years ago, and is running the Linux 5.1.14 kernel, which isn't an LTS release.  I'm not sure if that's your issue, but I'm guessing it might be.  Were you able to use an older version of Electrum with this OS?
2175  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Electrum Install on Linux Ubuntu on: May 16, 2021, 09:49:58 PM
which means: "Attention: this key is not certified with trust signature"

It appears you have the right files because they are signed by the correct key (6694D8DE7BE8EE5631BED9502BD5824B7F9470E6,) but you have not certified ThomasV's key.  Certifying the key essentially tells gnupg that you trust the key and the owner.

To sign ThomasV's use the following code:
Code:
gpg --sign-key 6694D8DE7BE8EE5631BED9502BD5824B7F9470E6

Or:
Code:
gpg --lsign-key 6694D8DE7BE8EE5631BED9502BD5824B7F9470E6

So happy.

Congrats to LFC, that was a bullet of a header.  Nice to see Becker bounce back from a few dismal games some weeks ago, and to keep the season alive with a shot like that was awesome.

Speaking of which, looking at the table positions 2 through 5, I'm liking LFC to climb the chart, possibly to #3.  They have two win-able matches coming up, and maybe Leicester will lend helping hand with Chelsea.

Oh wow, what a finish by LFC!  Absolutely amazing header by Becker, excellent call to come forward.  After having a couple of bad games the season he must be feeling pretty good right now.  Congrats to LFC, they're still hunting for the top 4!

If Urban Meyer wants him around the team, why can't they just add him as an assistant, staff (or perhaps water boy), this is an insult to all the TEs in the league.

His enthusiasm and competitiveness can be helpful in the locker room, and it's been said he has the personality of a "natural leader."  It could be that Urban Meyer wants Tim's influence on Trevor Lawrence for that reason alone.  Of course there's no guarantee he'll make the 53-man roster.  Summer training camps might be the only Tebowing we see this season.

I don't get coverage of FA Cup matches, so I missed it unfortunately.  Still waiting for the highlights to be posted.  That photo makes it look so close almost worthy of a push, but what you gonna do?  Congrats to Leicester.   I'll be rooting for Chelsea to upset City in the ECL, that should ease the pain of coming up short in the FA Cup.

It's been a crazy EPL season so far, some good times.  I'm disappointed that (barring a miracle) Arsenal won't be participating in any of the European competitions.  I hope they finish the season on a positive note, and come back strong for 21/22.
