Yes. Or no. Do it! Or don't! To update or not to update, that's the question. You're not going to do it, you're just going to wait a while and then post the exact same question again. Give it up, read your own post history instead of asking the same thing over and over again.

Wait for it, I'll go on a reporting spree now. Enjoy.

If you have any marketable skills, use the Services board.

I wasn't sure if I saw it correctly, so I tried again and I can now confim a bug.
When I make a transaction, I see this:
Confirming transaction... (0/1 confirmations)
And a bit later I see this:
Confirming transaction... (3/10 confirmations)

I check again (a third time), and now noticed the XMR test amount was received already when LTC had 3 confirmations. It looks like the bug is only in the interface.

Using a (read only) DVD instead of USB means your OS can't be tampered with for sure. The moment you reboot, it's fresh again.
Your data can still be stored on any other encrypted partition.

I created a topic about a cheap pay by the hour VPS provider a couple months ago, and paid about half a dollar for a full IBD (with pruning). They're throttling CPU at that price, but it avoids being kicked off as a noisy neighbor. It just gets slower, unless you pay more.
VPS prices have been dropping faster than the blockchain is growing, so I don't expect memory load to ever be a problem again.

If I'd be given the opportunity to earn a week's worth of salary in a short amount of time, I'd take it!
I don't get it: if 0.003 Bitcoin is worth so much you can't even pay it back, wasting the opportunity to earn it is just stupid.

I always assumed the majority of Bitcoin "owners" currently holds their Bitcoin on an exchange. If they move from largely unregulated companies registered in the Cayman Islands to regulated brokers in their own country, I consider that an improvement.

Eternal shame, thanks for that

I don't know what went wrong, I made some changes to get my 4 years old script working again. I'll fix it later, I'm out with the kids now.

Instead of pressuring someone you care about, give it to them if you want them to own Bitcoin. I did that a few times, but stopped for OPSEC reasons.

Some say you can earn 1 Bitcoin from signature campaigns. Many of them pay up to around 0.004 Bitcoin per week, that means it takes 5 years to stack a whole Bitcoin. If Bitcoin goes up in value it might take longer.

Of course, many people join Bitcointalk for only this reason, and most of them fail. Depending on where you live and local wages it might be easier to buy a piece of Bitcoin every month. And it doesn't hurt to diversify a bit on the stock market to spread your risk.

You've been here a year now, if you don't own Bitcoin yet, you're doing it wrong.

Be careful here, there's a very thin line between a parody and plagiarism. Since it's you, and not a random signature spammer, I hope you'll get the benefit of the doubt.

Hurtful words only exist in your mind.

It depends on how you spend your Bitcoin: for Bitcoin coffee you can use small inputs, but if you're buying a car it's going to be a problem.

If that would be true, you would have added proof. Since you conveniently forgot that, I'm going to assume you're just another scammer.

It's digital indeed.
There's a list of esim cards, just like with regular sim cards if your phone has more than one. I can select one esim at a time.

I recently got a free eSim, from RedBull. It's valid for a year in many countries. There are more services offering free trials, and since they compete worldwide, I'm hoping many more will offer free trials in the coming years.
The bad thing is most free eSims require installing an app.

I don't really need it though, as long as I'm inside EU I have enough data in my plan. I see a bigger market for GPS trackers using eSim.

Update: I googled it, and the first thing I found was lifetime eSim for €2.50, to be soldered inside a device. This is very scary, it will create a whole new level of attacks. Imagine replacing someone's hardware wallet with a fake device with esim that instantly broadcasts the PIN. Air gapped devices will need a faraday cage to be sure.

There's someone right now on the Lending board, who takes larger and larger loans right after paying one back.

I've seen it many times, both online and IRL: taking a loan once, paying it back with interest, and never doing it again can actually help someone. But doing it on a regular basis either drains your finances, or you're filling one hole with another and not planning to ever pay it back. Either way, it often gets worse after a while.

If you're only losing money, why are you still lending?

This is the reason I never joined the lending business: it doesn't seem worth the risk.

I don't think they'll sell them to collectors if that's what you mean. My guess: it stays in a box labeled "evidence" for many years.

Since I was invited to join the signature campaign, I did a small test (not on Mobile) to exchange some LTC to XMR. What I really like, is the lack of Cloudflare. The clearnet site just loads normally in Tor browser, and that's something mosts sites can't do anymore nowadays.
What surprised me, is there is no fixed "fee per transaction". It looks like the 1% or 0.5% fee is really everything, which matters a lot on small transactions. The minimum amount is 0.0001BTC, and much lower in value for altcoins. I haven't tried a large amount, as it was only for testing and I don't really need to exchange coins at the moment.
So far, I'm not disappointed and bookmarked the .onion site (on my desktop). I kinda expect people to complain about the limited choices of altcoins though.
