I used to be a permabull and I still am, but I need some fellow holder to reassure me.

I didn't struggle too much when btc was 3k-ish, because i was only waiting for the final capitulation, which i tought finally happened when we jumped to 14k and then, after correction, we were going sideways10k-ish.

From here, I thought, it can only go up.

But now we are experiencing a significant further correction, and today's red dildo is really tought for me, not financially but emotionally.

Worst than all, during the last year or so I saw too little development: lighting network is cool and I even used it with my android, but there are almost no merchants. And we still dosen't have an open market or a p2p exchanger. And I am really afraid that if we dosen't manage to get a working ecosystem BEFORE regulation, regulation will kill most of the coming projects.

Today I need someone to hodl my hand and say that everything is still ok.

i would love to tell you its ok. but i cant. because its bitcoin, and it does whatever it wants.

all you do is hang on and admire its total disregard for charts, technical analysis, governments, forks and pretty much anything else.

No offence to the OP but we already have this thread isn't it? SCAM: Bitcoin SV (BSV) - fake team member and plagiarized white paper. Do we really need another topic and give CSW that attention again?

csw will find ways to create attention any way he can, forever. its what he does, as he apparently has no real talents for anything else but doing his clown shows. his antics are too varied and too stupid to contain in one thread.

i actually dont mind. its awesome comic relief.
2483  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: USBHarpoon - a charging cable that can hack your computer on: October 19, 2019, 05:15:20 PM


@o_e_l_e_o Is it really going to be effective to hack someone or infect a virus when you just use a public charging station? Infecting the one you are charging?

Absolutely. There is a public charging station at my nearest airport with about 20 cables of various sizes. Every time I am there, they are almost all being used. That's hundreds of devices each day.

i never use airport, hotel, or any other public charging ports or cables for any device i own. i always have my own usb chargers and cables when i have AC outlets available, and several powerbanks (and assorted cables for them also) for when out and about. powerbanks are a lifesaver at airports and such when your phone is more or less indispensable (as they can have tickets, itinerary, tsa and airline apps etc loaded on them and constantly in use).

usb powerbanks come in so many sizes and capacities its foolish not to have some. some are solar powered, so can be charged even when no power is available.

EDIT you can also build your own powerbanks if you are so inclined and just want to be sure its not hiding any funny stuff.. just search for "diy usb power bank" in your favorite search engine.

stolen? sure..  various exchanges and pools stole some.

You think I may be joking, but - after making a stop at a gun shop a couple weeks back - I finished loading 40x and 30x magazines for my .223 AR-15. Just sitting here at the edge of my desk waiting to be packed away into the carry-case.

be glad your state still allows high capacity mags. some dont. lotta high capacity mags were lost in unfortunate boating accidents a while back. very sad.

There are some pretty severe security concerns around Casa Hodl at the moment. 

https://twitter.com/jwweatherman_/status/1182486419580866560?s=21

transmitting seed words in clear text on your local network.. brilliant. all those IoT devices that are security nightmares to the network they are on will love it (well the hackers that took them over will). not to mention compromised PCs.

to isolate stuff as much as possible i wound up creating separate vlans (via a cisco managed switch) for my gear.. household stuff on one, the security camera system on its own with a dedicated nas for backup, and the miners, again with a dedicated nas for their backups.

the security cams are the worst, they all want to go online. thus isolating them (or any other IoT thing) is the 1st thing to do when planning any system that attaches to your network.

@jbreher (or anyone): what happened to the dragon logo it had at one point?

Trezor (security by open-source) or Ledger (security by obscurity)?

which do you prefer?
 

trezor.. security via open source. had a trezor since 2016

i have several trezor model ones (one will do u2f), a trezor t and a ledger. the trezor seems easier and more intuitive than the ledger. and it seems i always have issues with the ledger, minor ones but annoying.

Could just write Homo when it is gay ?

*grumble grumble*

sure.. take the EASY way out.

i have macros for "Fuck You JJG" and such so i was in macro mode. your way is easier.

oh and speaking of that.... FUCK YOU JJG (no homo)... ive missed a few thrusdays, my apologies

[...] I forgot (subconsciously perhaps?) to type "no homo"  Fuck my life (Fml)!!!!  Sucks to be me.

What are quasi-purported respectable WO peeps and teams going to think, including Blawb (and hopefully partner no is vengeful jealous type)?

I am gathering myself in reflection of this happening, and I have discretionarily concluded that I am going to exercise some self-restraint, and actually leave that earlier post "as is" - even if it could cause some possible misunderstandings, ones that hopefully never have to be actually explored outside of this here fictitious interwebs/tubes location - aka NOT explored in the IRL world.

since the "no homo" thing seems to be a thing now, and omission of the phrase is leading to confusion, a solution must be found.

one possible solution: put "no homo" in sig? but it might be awkward to explain outside of this thread?
anyway sigs are off in this thread i think? i have mine set not to display sigs forum wide so dunno.

alternately maybe infofront can add "no homo" to the tread title? so its always there by default.

otherwise i will set a macro to "no homo" and bind it to my middle mouse button or something.

testing......     no homo    PERFECT

2494  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: mining on cheap fpga dev board? on: October 09, 2019, 03:33:00 PM
By the way, there was mentioned Xilinx VU9P FPGA board with the link to Amazon where it is possible to buy this board at the cheapest price, and there was mentioned that this board comes with a pretty bad cooling, so for a good job in mining you need to manually perform the required settings and improvements. Frankly speaking, I didn't used this FPGA board, because I'm not a miner, but simply I prefer reading articles of these guys, because they have a lot of information about mining, crytocurrency news and the thing I like the most reading articles from that site is that the authors of articles explain difficult themes in simple words

you are correct, the standard stock Xilinx VCU1525 do not have the VRM and cooling capacity to compete with BCU1525s, which have been beefed up considerably.

thay CAN be used, however not with locked (unsure if thats the term) bitstreams, and with reduced workload compared to the BCU and its variants.

you used to be able to get refurbished BCU1525s at fpga.land for ~$2,000 USD but they are sold out at the moment.

https://shop.fpga.guide/collections/all/products/refurbished-bcu1525?variant=29239864623197

EDIT i have a bcu1525

@Dabs, this feels like home doesn't it?

For a good ... almost entire year (maybe even 2 or 3) ... this is where I lurk and post, while doing other stuff in other threads unrelated and just minding my own business ... whatever sig I have doesn't even count in this particular thread ... then try to do one small act of kindness to some random newbie who probably has no clue what a merit is and people think I'm abusing merit.

man its scary outside of this thread. always travel in pairs. for meta though i recommend nothing less than a dozen. even then some may not escape.

How are these fucktards at Bitfinex not in jail yet when the entire planet knows?



Just because your search engine automatically fills in the same keywords that you have been typing in for the last 3+ years does not mean that there is any kind of significance behind such autofill. 

Are you retarded, roach? (that's a rhetorical question, so you don't really need to answer it)

I bet it's his search history.

duckduckgo doesnt store your search history

I'm thinking a lot of those miners are gone. Big problem: These things generate heat, and if you put them on big power busses without fusing you're just asking for a fire.

But fuses cost money.....

they might have had fuses on the buss originally. but you know dealing with a blown fuse is a pain as well as down time (MONEY). so, like the old penny in the fuse socket from back in the day they may have been replaced with larger rated fuses - or simply bypassed completely... POOF instant increase of electrical capacity. as well as instant elevated fire hazard.

assuming it was a buss overload. not just shoddy work full  of shortcuts that will burn down anyway given time.

Heard of several people were killed in Paris while in a police building.
The suspect was a IT employee who was working there when he lashed out with a knife.
Could he have been so stressed out about his crypto portfolio, would drive him to the edge?
Knowing he would be instantly killed with armed officers all around him while he just has a knife?
Just need to wait for more details but he had to a breakdown due to something.
With $2500 lost in two weeks if holding alot of BTC would put anyone on the edge.

$2500 loss in two weeks and he wanted to suicide by cop?Huh?

1st the 2500 bucks should of been treated as a loss in the 1st place.. the old "only invest what you can afford to use" thing.

2nd that dude obviously had a lot more issues than a $2500 loss, which is not very much money when you get right down to it.

i wonder what the breakdown was about.

2500  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: October 06, 2019, 07:03:40 PM
Yeah TBH it’s his wife I feel for the most
My moms on Hospice, she has stage 4 COPD and Emphazema, I have a 9 year old daughter. I hate it for her the most. She has no life. We cannot ever just take a trip somewhere as she requires 24 hour care.. I agree I hate it for the wife. It is hard on the family that and bills begin to pile up. It gets really stressful. 

My definition of a vacation is camping or renting a cabin 20 min away from my house. I have to stay close enough in case of an emergency (She falls or something) i can go get her up. I have not been to see my dad 2000 miles away in almost 4 years. I have noone to help me. But I promised I would never put her in a home. So now my daughter and I have to suffer because of it.  I wish him  and his family the best of luck!

maybe 10 years ago my mother in law suffered from Alzheimers plus getting breast cancer treatments. along with some other health issues she was a real mess health wise, but would not go to a nursing home.  having had family in nursing homes in the past i can actually agree with that.

upshot was since she had a good chunk or money squirreled away she could afford private nurses and housekeeping so we set that up. that can burn though money pretty fast but it was her money (well we would of used our own if needed), so we also bought a bunch of stuff to make it safer.. power lift recliners, new lower bed with rails, grab bars, replace the kitchen/living room floors (possible trip hazard.. very minor but still take no chances), rebuilt the front door stairs and rails, well as disconnecting the stove. fire extinguishers in every room. i also installed several IP cams so that at any time we could see where she was in the house with very few exceptions. we also bought a "help ive fallen and cant get up" thing.. which she decided works best when the the pendent the button is on sits on the kitchen table where she cant reach it if shes fallen. i suggested if she was not going to wear it, she should at least keep it on the floor so at least she can crawl over to it if needed.

so yeah my wife and i planned our whole life around twice daily visits to her (more usually but minimum two.. its amazing how much mischief one can get into in a few hours). we could never go more than a half hour away. we did have others who could fill in in a pinch but she extremely set on us to do it.

i figure with the amount of stuff she did to raise, educate, and guide my wife through her childhood years the least we can do is provide is companionship, the best care medically as well as a home that is in good repair and safe, easy to monitor and the  while some of her wishes were pretty out there we did our best. she deserved it.

EDIT: is it just me or does it seem to others also that respect for the elderly has gone down the tubes lately
