I don't think it's a big deal that they're all in the same Git repository.  The odds of both the Electrum site and the Git repository getting hacked at the same time are extremely remote.  If one or the other gets hacked the binary signatures wouldn't verify. 

I do think it adds security to have a couple of sources from which one could download the keys, just in case one of those sources is hacked.  In the OP I included redundant sources for ThomasV's key.  If you're in the habit of storing other people's public keys yourself, this really only helps when you download someone's key for the first time.  It would allow you to confirm that the multiple sources provide the same key, which helps confirm the key's authenticity.  Once the key has been downloaded and a signature confirmed, you should store the key locally.  Again, this is based on the theory that it's unlikely for multiple sites to get hacked simultaneously.

Maybe big red warning on every trading board post started by a newbie; something simple like "Scammers flourish in a free marketplace, WATCH YOUR ASS!"  That might get the job done, but then again it could get ignored just like all the other giant red warning signs.

At some point one has to accept the risks of living in a free society.  We can police our own in the hope of preventing repeat offenders, and sometime we can't even do that.  The only alternative is regulation and enforcement, and I doubt theymos will ever venture there.  Personally, I would rather accept the risks of a free forum than the alternative. 

I wouldn't call Garoppolo terrible.  He's 22 and 8 as a starter for the Niners, and that includes two losses that he started but didn't finish due to injury.  Average passer rating as a Niner is 95, which isn't great but far from terrible.  He's actually pretty darn accurate passer, even if he doesn't have a big arm.  His main faults are that he's prone to injuries and he's less mobile than Tom Brady.  For a pocket passing type offense he'd be a great addition.


I agree.  Shanahan has never been thrilled with Garoppolo.  Shanahan is one of the most brilliant offensive architects in the league, but Garoppolo limits his creativity.  He's been salivating for someone like Trey Lance who allows him to spin some gimmicky option plays.


It doesn't matter who's playing QB, Aiyuk will get a lot of balls tossed his way.

Nah, his English was shit, google translated shit at that.  He said something once giving me the impression he was from eastern Europe, I figured Romania or Bulgaria.  Elmanchez once claimed to be from Azerbaijan.  I wasn't necessarily saying I believe they could be one person, just reminiscent of one another.   Both seem to possess a calloused soul.


Parasitic is great way of summing it up.  It must be a pretty depressing existence.

None at all.  I just turned mine on for the hell of it:

Just to add to TryNinja's comments, the private keys you receive will have been pre-funded.  You'll get keys that were loaded at some time before your deposit was received by chipmixer.  It's a privacy feature that sets them apart from the competition, in my opinion.

Since the Electrum releases are now being signed by multiple builders I thought it was a good time to update the OP to mention that fact, and also add the following link:

Electrum Builders' Signing Keys: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/tree/master/pubkeys

I was thinking the same thing.  Watching City lose is almost as good as seeing Arsenal win most of the time, but after blowing a fortune on a striker who doesn't strike...  Priceless.

Tottenham Hotspurs did look good in the second half, though.  They flipped the script on City, which isn't easy to do.  The whole team looked good, and that goal by Son was flawless.  It must have felt extra good for that kid after all the press had written of Tottenham without Kane.  And to do it against the reigning champs must have his spirits up tonight. 

Elmanchez is still around, he contacted me on Telegram not long ago.  First claiming he was going to repay me some day, with a story about how he lost his legs in the recent conflict between Azerbaijani and Armenia.  Just a few days ago he sent me a message asking for another $100. 

It wouldn't surprise me if he is indeed Vareole.  We know he had a few alts on this forum.  Kind of reminds me of Vinsin in some ways, remember that loser?

Here you say that the Coinprenuer account is not your alt:


And here you say that the Coinprenuer account will "never see the light of day."


If it's not your alt, how can you be so certain that the Coinprenuer account won't be used again?

I agree with you that you've shown some initiative in building your account over the last year and a half.  Maybe you can convince those who tagged to consider revising their tags to neutral, but if you're being dishonest about your connection the Coinprenuer account, that won't help you in that endeavor.

You nerver agreeed to teh deal, so I haben't bean checkking.

You're right about that, but there's only so much we can do.  Scammers are gonna scam, victims are gonna be victimized.  I'm not trying to downplay it, it's a sucky situation. 

I know you've campaigned for a welcome page that will attempt to warn newbies about the proliferation of scammers on this site, and it's a noble effort on your part.  It certainly couldn't hurt, but I don't think it'll solve much.  Here's a situation where it appears that the victim didn't even register an account on the forum before getting scammed.  The victim ignored the scammers flags and negative reviews.  All those flags and tags did nothing to prevent that scam.  Had the victim registered for an account and seen a scary warning message, would we have had any different of an outcome?  I reckon it would have likely been ignored just like the other warnings.

There are many out there who's greed will overcome their skepticism.  There's absolutely nothing we can do to prevent them from being scammed, and unfortunately those are ones scammers are banking on.

Quartararo still managed to extend his championship lead to 47 points ahead of second place.  It was a frustrating last two laps for him and Marquez, I'm sure.  The rest of the field was tip-toeing around the track on slicks, so they chose to gamble a pit stop.  In retrospect it appears that was the wrong decision.

It was an exciting race, none the less.  For a minute there it looked like Rossi had a podium spot after the leaders took to pit row.  Congrats to Binder on the win, fortune favors the brave, I guess.

It's starting to rain a few drops, everyone it frantically changing to softer tires now.  If it's a wet race look for Miller and the Marquez brothers to make some moves.  Marc has gone with the soft compound on the rear, he's expecting a damp track.

I'm still rooting for Quartararo.  And we're off!

What do you think Belichick would give us for him? 


Lol, yeah he is a rooky.  He's bound to make some mistakes.  Like he just fumbled as I'm writing.

It's his physical attributes where he really stands out.  Learning the offence and avoiding mistakes will come with experience.  He's obviously an intelligent kid, it's just a matter of time.

He had a rough start, a bunch of dropped balls, was nearly intercepted, lost a fumble, but he finished pretty darn hot.  He's incredibly fast for a QB, and those touchdown runs were a glimpse of his capabilities.

First attempt; on the money, Aiyuk drops it.
Second attempt; gets sacked.
Third attempt; throws the long ball to Trey Sermon for an 88 yard touchdown play.  Nice.

He's looking pretty darn good for a rooky.  His first series was against the KC's first team defense.  He took sack, which is better than making a stupid mistake.  I don't think it's going to take long before he replaces Garoppolo.  Maybe the steep price they paid to get the third over all pick is justified after all.  I know it's only pre-season, and I am trying to contain my optimism, lol.

The grid is set for tomorrow's MotoGP race, here are the top 5:



I was surprised Quartararo was able to set a new lap record on the Yamaha at the Australian ring (short-lived as it was.)  That's quite impressive, and definitely a highlight for the Yamaha team after some drama this week.   Looks highly unlikely that Viñales will ever ride a Yamaha again.  I wonder if there's any truth to the claims that he deliberately caused the bike to malfunction last weekend.

Now back to that short-lived lap record at the Red Bull Ring, where the hell did this young kid, Jorge Martin come from?  Last week's win was impressive, but looked like a fluke of sorts and I didn't put a lot of thought into it.  Now he's taken pole two weeks in a row, and looks good to take the win tomorrow.  It'll be interesting to if he climbs the standings and over-takes the factory Ducati riders.

Lol, talk about bad starts; I have to nail the scores on both of tomorrow's matches just catch up to you.

LFC did have a good outing today, it was a fun game to watch also.  


Congrats to BitcoinGirl.Club and buywaytress, neck and neck for taking the week's high score.  Best of luck to both of you.

I had high hopes for Arteta, and he did pretty good for a few seasons, at least securing a spot in the Europa on an annual basis.  Sadly the club has been in a steady decline the last few years, and I've lost confidence in Arteta.  Oh, how nice it would be to see a brilliant young manager take the reins.

That's big bummer.  It was looking like we were going to win that one, would have been amazing.  Kudos to Sportsbet.io for giving us that one, it was a lot fun.

I think you're right about getting 1.5 points, but I think you made a typo in the quoted text above.  You get 3 points for predicting the correct score, and only 1 point if you predict the correct outcome (i.e. correct match winner.)

He did say "almost," assuming Arsenal is counted among the "strong clubs."  Quite a disappointing opening match for the Gunners.  Arteta didn't start his strongest crew up front, no Aubameyang or Lacazette.  Regardless, the defenders didn't give me a lot of confidence.  Hopefully that's not a preview of our season.

It's great to have the season finally under way.  The strong opener for ManU was fun to see, and LFC looks like they're off to a good start so far.

No one will lend you $2000 for a bunch of worthless junk as collateral, and you're certainly not getting $10k or more.


No you haven't, and no I think I'll keep mine in place, thank you.


There's no forum rule about posting feedback either.

By the way, is the collateral you're offering the same $2000 worth of junk you're trying to trade for a $3000 car?

You seem to have a very tenuous grasp on reality.
