There's no indication the account was hacked, and even if it was hacked there's no indication that the OP is the original owner and not the hacker.

The most likely reason the account was locked is probably for breaking this rule:


Unless the OP can prove the cheus account was indeed hacked and that he's the original owner, the account is likely to stay locked.

I think suchmoon's concerns are legitimate, and the flag is appropriate.  The user was completely absent for four years, then comes back with horror stories of compulsive gambling, losing everything, and episodes of depression.  To me that sounds like a high-risk individual to be holding people's money, even it is only $4 worth of ETH.



suchmoon explained that and you quoted him doing so.  Type 1 flags are intended and appropriate for this type of situation. 

I think the OP's question is whether the server code can be manipulated to request that information.  Electrum client does have access to the device ID, and it would make sense that it's not sent it to the server, but are there any safeguards prevent the server from accessing the device ID?

I wish I could read the code to audit it myself, but I'm afraid I have a steep learning curve to overcome with Python.

The whole time I was reading this and the other thread I was under the impression it was comedy.  



What kind of comedy would it be without the village idiot?

Technology is moving at a rapid rate these days, just today I read that Elon is might be ready to start human trials on his Neuralink project, and another story about a battery made of nuclear waste that won't need recharging for 28,000 years.  If the first is true, then we can all go to Mars, Total Recall style.  If the second is true, the implications of a limitless power supply are only bound by imagination.  Of course these fantastical projects are usually decades from becoming reality, having any practical application, or being affordable enough to become commonplace.

Space travel will get there in the years to come.  Whether it's affordable for the average joe or not, it will become affordable enough for businesses to take advantage of the opportunities.  It's already getting cheaper as multiple countries and private enterprises are competing for contracts.



Are you referring to Mars One?  I heard it went bankrupt, it was probably a scam from the start.  There have been several Mars colony simulations, but I don't know of any that were featured as a reality show.

Awesome news!  Congrats to Southampton and Sportsbet on the partnership!

I love the new logo with the BTC in orbit.  Where can I get a replica jersey or a T-shirt?

Howdy y'all.

I recently decided to recommission a spare desktop as an Electrum server, and I'm curious about some of the settings in my bitcoin.conf file.  My goal is to make this server as secure and anonymous as possible.  I have firewalls on my modem, my router, and I've enable ufw as well.  I've opened port 8333 so I can have inbound connection to core, but I haven't opened up the port for RPC (If I do it will be for local network devices only.)  I don't plan to use this node as a wallet, so I've disabled those features.

My question is specifically about my anonymity and the proxy settings.  Currently I have the following settings in my bitcoin.conf file:


At one point I had proxyrandomize=1 in the setting to turn on that feature, but I noticed that connections to peers was inconsistent, slow, and hard to obtain.  Is this feature worth using?  I can only imagine that it would help with anonymity, but I guess I'm not sure what it really does.  Can anyone help explain things to me a bit clearer?

Server configuration:
Intell I5 processor, 4GB ram
Ubuntu 20.04 with Python 3.8
Bitcoin Core Version 0.20.0

This is my first attempt to run a node as a server, so please share any information that you feel might be helpful.  Thank you.

I regret to say that I don't think I'll have time for a fantasy league this year.  

I've been scarce on the forum lately due to a hectic work schedule, and it looks like it's going to stay that way.  All this hard work is about to pay off though, so I'm not too bummed about it.  My boss recommended me for a promotion, which it looks like I'll get.  Of course that means more travel for training and visits to other company facilities in the next few months, not to mention the added responsibilities.  And that leads to even less time for the forum.

Hi Ratimov,
I'm sorry but I'll have decline your request at this time.

Hi Ryker1,
Repayment confirmed, thank you.

Howdy webtricks,
Sorry for the late response.  You're payment is confirmed, thank you.

The Rock is behind it now, it may actually have a chance of survival.



I had hopes for the league originally, but then Covid fucked their season over good.  I don't know how the NFL is going to fair with the pandemic and the political divisiveness they've engaged in.  It seems like now is as good of a time as any for an alternate league to stake a foothold.

Thanks for calling me out on this and sorry I fell asleep at the wheel.  Fixed now...

I've been so fucking busy lately it's starting to get to me.  I've been covering for an engineer that quit a couple of months ago (replacement starts tomorrow,) and covering the production manager's duties in my department for the last 5 weeks.  The production manager decided to take a vacation in Mexico for two an a half weeks, then when he got home he couldn't (or wouldn't?) take a covid test so he had to quarantine at home for another two weeks.  The company gave us an additional 40 hours of sick leave this year, and I feel some people are abusing it.

Through all of this, I've had family house-guests staying with me, so I've been getting up super early to put in the extra hours at work, and not sacrifice my evenings.  I'm getting way to old for this shit!

Anyway, I hope to have more time for the forum in the next couple of weeks.

Look at the bright side, you still have a good chance of ranking up before fillippone.  

My turn to try.  

EDIT: Nope, still a hero.

I have to say, so far this is my favorite nullialt (the name was far more clever, too):

Not to mention the predatory language in Livecoin's terms of service.  IIRC it was something to the effect of "if you complain about us in public, we get to keep all your money."  There's nothing of that sort in Sportsbet's terms and conditions.

Yes, of course.  But for the most part extra-planetary exploration has been dominated by the US and EU.  Not to say they haven't experienced failures.  Fewer than successes, thankfully.  Which is why I'm curious about the odds for newbies in the game.

And right now we have two (soon to be three) robots racing to Mars!  Where's the love for the robots?


I tend to agree.  Both missions seem to be well on their way up to now, one of the difficult phases is over.  The more difficult phase will be 7 months from now, this part should be easy sailing.  I think at this point, the technology for SBRs is well understood by all around the world.  The failures of the other missions is mostly public knowledge, and those risks can be mitigated.

I can't believe this thread has gotten so much attention.  It's nothing but an obvious attempt at trolling DT members who disagree with you.  If you were at all confident in your position then you would have posted all this drudge from your main account.  Which brings up the question; who's the real "sell-out?"  The member who calls balls and strikes like he sees them, from his main account, or the cowardly member who refuses to address controversial issues with his main account to prevent being "black-listed" by other campaign managers?

In all honesty, until you called me out and I went to check the spreadsheet, I wasn't even sure that I was still on Sportsbet.io's payroll.  I sent a PM to the campaign manager on May 9th informing him that I would likely be too busy to comply with the minimum post requirement for that week, and possibly subsequent weeks.  I also told him that if he felt I was no longer supporting the campaign as needed, to feel free removing me.

Now back to the subject at hand; how many shit-stirring newbies do get on this forum compared to honest, long-standing, legitimate businesses?  How much support has the forum and the bitcoin community received from these newbies compared to this specific legitimate business?  Sportsbet.io has exposed the bitcoin logo to millions of Soccer fans, they didn't have to do that, they could just as easily had their own logo on Watford's sleeves.  All anyone has to do is spend just a few days following their official thread to know what kind of people they are.  They care about this community, they care about bitcoin, and they obviously care about their customers.  I say this as someone who doesn't gamble, and generally speaking I have no love for casinos as a whole.  

As for the accuser, I'm convinced he's a liar.  The way he constructs his sentences and the use of certain phrases that are only common to native English speakers make it very hard for me to believe he's using a translator (like he claims.)  So yeah, I think he's full of shit.

I'm astonished at the reasoning of a few members in this particular case.  On one hand we have the word of a well established business with a long history and reputation of supporting our community, while on the other hand we have the word of a shady newbie, insisting he be compensated more than he deposited.  Is it really that hard to understand why I would choose to side with sportsbet.io in this situation?

I do acknowledge that the question remains; why isn't sportsbet.io divulging more information about the detection and suspicion of the accuser's cheating?  I don't know, but I'm inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt and surmise they have a good reason.  Not because I'm wearing their signature, because they've earned it.  As others have noted Bitcasino.io recently had a similar accusation and provided information to the community, so it only stands to reason that their sister company has similar methods of detecting cheaters.  But that's not to say it's the only method of detection, or that the cheaters were using the same methods to defraud the system.  Maybe there is more to the story, maybe one of their methods is insufficient and only partially effective, and this user found a way to navigate around it.  Divulging their detection method for this situation may inadvertently expose a vulnerability that they want to fix before they provide more information.  That seems like enough speculation, I'm sure you get the point.

This is a job for the authorities, especially since some of the photos are of her as a minor.  The person in possession of the photos is very likely related to the dead guy, it shouldn't be hard for the cops to track down who ever it was that took possession of his electronic devices.

Apperantly the bookies are only interested in the human race to Mars, not the robotic ones.  I browsed around bovada's site, but only found markets for political events and election results.  



Fairlay's site is interesting, it looks more like an exchange than a casino.  There are markets for the first US company to take humans to Mars, but nothing about the Chinese or UAE missions.  However, they do provide the option to make your own market, that's pretty cool.
