At same time I wish to LV to feel better quickly. Thanks! Luckily, theymos turned off the Bitcointalk server this morning, so I could sleep without any distractions. I am on Cretan shores for a while and it does not feel good to drink alone That doesn't sound bad at all!

Thanks again for your flawless timing! Get well soon. Thanks. I need it. It turns out I have "mild" pneumonia, and I really had to slow down everything I'm doing. I now realize how underrated breathing air is.

screws differing with head style or drive types needed. Not bad, not bad at all Slotted is 1, Allen is 0. On second thought: doesn't that stand out much more than a slightly uneven fence? I mean: I've seen thousands of uneven fences, but I've never seen different screws in all planks. Then again, I never look that close either

Everyone will agree with what you say. However, without talking about my passphrase, one would argue that it's better to have a "long" passphrase (including lowercase, uppercase, numbers, and symbols) but that is also "easier" to remember. Isn't it true? I mean, going for something like "29$_918jHlahq2)814nd000qhh<>ajL" is perfect, but you must back it up perfectly and forget any chances to "remember" it. You will ask, why remember it when you can just note it down twice? Correct! But it's good to have also have a chance of remembering it if needed. I'll throw in a counter argument: what's the point of remembering the passphrase, if you don't remember the seed words it belongs to?

Why not make a simple escrow tool The problem with escrow is that it needs "some input" from real life. If I buy a collectible coin, the only way for the escrow to know for sure the seller sent it, is by personally verifying it. I don't think this can be automated in case there's a dispute.

For what it's worth: there's a huge difference in SSDs. This BX500 for instance: Crucial’s BX500 provides up to 540/500 MB/s of sequential read/write throughput, but that can drop to an average of just 100 MB/s during a sustained workload. I found out the hard way how sneaky drive manufacturers are nowadays, after I bought a 2 TB HDD that drops to kilobytes per second when filling the last 20%. With this SSD it's not that bad, and for your purpose you'll probably never notice it, but it is something to keep in mind. I now only buy disks that can sustain their performance until they're full. I will be teaching myself and my wife to run this as I am a bit disgusted with the direct apple os is I've never liked Apple, and I don't like Windows, so I've been using Linux for a long time. I love it, and can only recommend to get used to using the command line (and vi). I still prefer the console for most file operations, it's faster and much more powerful than the GUI.

Code: (LoyceV 2023-09-23 Merit beggar. He made 17 generic shitposts and sent a PM asking for Merit within 12 hours after registration.)
It was a mistake in my life and I just brought my mistake and I will never make this mistake again. And yet, you're still shitposting. Your mistake was joining Bitcointalk to spam hoping to earn money, while clearly you're too stupid to understand what you're doing. You've created 88 posts and have 43 posts left. At least 40 of your posts were deleted by Mods. You should have been banned by now.

3. "stay away" - 1 month 6 hrs I wouldn't trust a site that gives such a terrible estimate. For password strength, it helps a lot to have many rounds of encryption. Keepass back in the days allowed to manually set the number of rounds. If it takes 1 second to unlock your data, it also takes 1 second for each try. Brute-force resistance is one of the great things of BIP38 encryption. I'd love to see a similar standard for encrypting seed phrases.

On the other hand, Contabo does not have great technical support to help me with the migration. It's not problematic, but it would involve more caution. That's a good point. If you need technical support, you shouldn't use an (unmanaged) VPS. And managed servers are a lot more expensive. It's true that I don't need processing power. But, I need recording speed, space and bandwidth. And unfortunately, the options that best have these characteristics are those with greater processing capabilities and in turn become more expensive.

This political campaign style nonsense is seriously cringy. This reminded me of theymos' post when he introduced the DefaultTrust changes: In borderline cases, it should result in something of a political battle.

This is the reason it is good to use a wallet that supports RBF, because with it you can pump the fee, instead of spending more fee on CPFP. That's correct for small transactions. However, for transactions with many inputs, the minimum increase to use RBF will be much more than it costs to slightly increase the fee by using CPFP.

1.1 sat/vbyte in these network conditions basically means your transaction will be kicked out of most nodes mempools' off and on, and won't confirm for several days. All I can see is transactions <2 sat/vbyte are getting confirmed. If it gets dropped, raise the fee a bit. If it doesn't get dropped and doesn't confirm, use CPFP. Or just go for 2.1 sat/vbyte now, it's still less than 1 m BTC for 400 inputs.

The main problem is: When I need to send a bit large amount of BTC, the inputs quantity can reach 400-500, with the corresponding high transaction fee
How to decrease commision of such transactions? I know nothing about "Bcoin", but I know a thing or two about consolidating small inputs. You should read that topic. One way or another, having 400 inputs will create a large transaction. If you can get away with 1.1 sat/vbyte, it's not that bad, so you'll have to time your transaction a bit.

Since you asked: I use Tor. The most annoying thing on TalkImg is that direct links to an image don't work. Given my experience with cheaper servers, I doubt trippling server costs is necessary. Ninjastic.space for instance works fine on Tor, and I think it still runs on this package. My guess is TalkImg is much less demanding in resources, since it doesn't have to search through huge databases.

To avoid ever so slightly but of course noticably rising planks when you have a sequence of consecutive 1s you could waste planks and always use two planks for one bit. A binary 1 is: shorter plank followed by longer plank; a binary 0 is: longer plank followed by shorter plank. That avoids unpleasant rising or falling staircase sequences. Who said it needs to be efficient encoding? Instead of wasting planks (and needing a bigger garden), you could simply use 2 different planks: 201 cm long means 1, 199 cm long means 0. The top and bottom will be uneven, and you don't need to follow any pattern. Recovering your seed phrase is as easy as measuring the length of 256 planks. You can plant nettles to discourage curious seed thiefs. Let's say you need it nettle seeds.You'll need to maintain your fence though, once the planks start rotting your bits become inaccurate. Couldn't resist a slight detour from the main topic... I'll allow it

Hey how much ram do you need to run this with your server? I recently tested it: the more cores I use for sorting, the more RAM it takes. I tested the difference, and reduced the sorting to only 2 cores. It writes a lot of temp files (on HDD) with 32 GB RAM. I guess I could use 128 or even 256 to speed this up, but I update the large file once a week, so it doesn't matter that it takes a few hours. I have a threadripper doing nothing it has 128gb ram would it be better than the server you are using.
I could donate it to you. Thanks for the offer, but I'm good for now. This server takes about 12 TB of bandwidth per month. If you want to find a good use for your server: how about using it to run your own block explorer (mempool.space clone) or Electrum server?

I thought activity was just like merits. You cannot loss them. Activity is like posts, if you delete enough posts, your Activity drops.

Ahh, now that's more interesting, although I can't think of anything worse than having to cut 128 boards all of slightly different but very specific lengths. Only 128 planks? I was thinking of 256 (+1). But you can of course use the bottom for data storage too. And given that in any random 128 bit number you are highly likely to have at least seven 0s or seven 1s in a row, then you are going to end up with a highly uneven fence which would just annoy me every time I saw it. Here, people manage to sell their lack of craftsmanship as a style, so the totally uneven fence doesn't have to have small differences. It can be huge gaps. Another suggestion would be different colors of tiles on your floor, bathroom or kitchen walls, etc. Bonus is that they are not going to be at far less risk of damage, and they can't be viewed by anyone walking or driving past your house. The problem is that my wife will want to decide on the colors, and it's not going to be random. And if I let my daughter have her way, we'll end up with a pink house.

most of them start thread about "my first bitcoin purchase" i convinced my dad to invest in bitcoin, "bitcoin is life", etc. which is mostly a waste of time for good posters. Says the guy who created 6 topics in 2 hours.
