no problems with concerns.. there is a lot of info/fud out there, mostly conflicting of course. basically, just keep researching and form your own opinion.

fwiw i too keep the bulk of my coin in legacy addys, and have no real interest in segwit at the moment. of course, this is probably more from laziness than any other single factor.

boosterspice?

someone needs to get on securing this stuff asap

errr...



so, this is a contest to see who can lose you as our cards bff 1st then.

... and we win it by annoying you ?? im in!

youre gonna try to beat bob at his own game? i think that testicular titanium plate treatment of his beats about anything. but hydrochloric acid.. if you DO try it, please, no pics. a vague description will suffice.

oh there were lies involved.. but from whom? kristy (ohgodagirl) seems (at least from my pov) to be the one that lied, and others (people and companies) that believed her and made promises based on her lies got burned big. could this have been handled better? sure but with lawyers involved we wont know till its over.

so was the whole acorn thing a scam? on sqrls part, i dont think so, just a lot of naivety. others opinions vary of course. but a scam to me is.. well BFL was a scam from the start, even with shipping products. scam was the very foundation of BFL. i cant bring myself to put sqrl in that category. time may change my mind however.

anyway, sqrl does tend to have ambitious launch schedules. and missed deadlines are a running joke that long ago stopped being funny. sqrl thought there would be a lot more devs cooperating on bitstreams. on that they were wrong, lot of devs doing their own thing, so lots of reinventing the wheel. slows things down considerably.

as for the original purpose of acorns, helping gpus, that window of opportunity is past. and yes, that sucks. it may even of worked if gpu acceleration code had been ready when the acorns were released.. who knows?

but now, acorns are a curiosity. that may find uses down the road, possibly unrelated to mining. hope so, they are too small to make proper door stops.


very true. every missed deadline on their part hurt the bottom line on every customer. i bought early and watched my money more or less evaporate as the missed deadlines accumulated.


yeah i bough acorns pretty much as soon as they came out. and i sure havent made bank on acorns. basically i watched my money go seemingly everywhere but the actual code needed to make it useful.

there is a dev or two on discord that are playing with acorn/gpu accelerations but its private devs, not associated with sqrl. may be wrong on that though.

nice.. congrats!

i know youll be sending them where there will do the most good. like you always have, really

1st let me say im about 6 grand USD in the hole with my bcu, fk and acorns.

that being said, they actually do have "working products" but the software is sorely lacking. the bcu, fk, and acorns i have all run at a very slight profit. maybe in 6 years ill break even. maybe. unless those higher powered bitstreams that get promised finally get here.

but scammers? i wouldnt go that far (but there may be facts im unaware of). i knew the risks and took it. so far its been a loss. oh well. thats on me.

great, just great. poor again.

next WO meetup will have to be at a soup kitchen or something.

im sure thats a very comforting thought. perhaps you may even get away with it.

but several years from now, when blockchain analysis will show even the smallest mistake  that can link addys and transactions to you... well, if they allow you internet access from jail while youre serving time for tax evasion, let us know what happened.

agreed. look at most any post of his. they are most always well reasoned and well explained , with lots of references for his sources of data. in short even an idiot like me can understand his explanations.. and while no one or no thing is perfect, he is more than willing to learn from his (and others) mistakes and readily admits it so that others can learn from any mistakes also. and this is why forums exist, member helping others to learn before they commits a mistake.

with his (hopeful soon) becoming a merit source, he will be able to guide those good posters with merits.

i believe he will use those merits exactly what they were created for... help members and and draw attention to the useful threads.

so again, fillippone has my complete support.

also try to use 2FA on any important emails accounts. not a text message to a phone number that can be taken over, something OTP based like google 2fa (or its open source equivalents).

for fun, try to break into your main emails accounts on a fresh computer (ie one thats never logged into that email account before) by clicking "forgot password" link and seeing how far you get. you may be surprised.

fillippone has my vote.

i was going to compile a list of just some of his contributions to this forum that highlighted what he brings the table. the patience, willingness to learn from, and teach to, other forum members. to start new threads that draw you in and before you know it youve learned something new.  and just generally give his threads and his replies a friendly, easy atmosphere.

but all one needs to do is look at his recent threads (and posts). you will very quickly come to the same conclusion. fillippone will be a worthy merit source.

interesting. thanks for the link.

hunted around the windows computer i use for discord and found nothing related to "discord" in my programs list or any of my %appdata% folders. i only run discord through my browser though, i never installed any specific discord app on the computers. perhaps thats why? i need to look into this further as the web version of discord says it updates itself on occasion so something related to discord is persistent on the computer.

i do use discord a lot on my phone though. just like phil mentioned about mac versions, i now wonder about android..

my sincere condolences.

as long as you can watch its value crash to zero at any instant and be more or less ok with it its pretty easy, especially if you believe in the tech as i did and do.

this worked for me. late 2011 to 2013.

EDIT: although i suppose i never stopped the drug induced haze part

the lowest cost coin i have is perhaps $2.50 USD. so until its under that its a bull market to me. sorry 

definitely this. when in a hurry for smallish amounts i at least check the 1st few, last few and something in the middle. there are almost always 3 or 4 consecutive characters in the middle of the addy somewhere that stand out well due to whatever reason. so easy to spot and compare.

for larger amounts of course i would check more that that.

79 for vapourminer please

edit: these are some super cool raffles. ty krogothmanhattan!

$1k? that would be merely annoying.

$30? now that would be a bit nerve racking.
