This is why you like to keep your definition of Socialism vague and amorphous,
Socialism has nothing of its own, it is parasitic in nature and requires the theft of resources of others, usually at the expense of the goals of the group or individual in the name of spreading Marxist ideologies. Socialism and Communism are a mind virus. Its only job is to spread itself at all costs.
communism is parasitic... dont confuse it with socialism i think its you that has the wrong definition. maybe because YOUR understanding of socialism is vague ... capitalism is where the mass underclass pay towards making elitists rich(imagine a pyramid) socialism is where mass population pay towards making the poor less poor(imagine a web) communism is where the mass population pay towards making political leaders rich(imagine a blackhole) socialism doesnt take away asset ownership rights. it just doesnt use tax funds to then make the rich/powerful more rich powerful. It is normal for an American to confuse communism with socialism. I bet most Americans never heard of christian socialism. On the other hand, Europeans are much better than Americans on these affairs as most types of socialism were invented by Europeans. |

How could George Orwell be a hero jsut with socialist tendencies?
He was a socialist. And he was a socialist who hated USSR as he found out the truth that those Russian communists are traitors to socialism.

Never. But it can be used to back one country's digital fiat.
Just as USA once uses gold to back paper USD.

Of course you can.
1. While you are pushing critical data, others can upload tons of trash data on blockchain. In this case, one can't find your info unless provided with a pointer.
2. Then how do you spread the info of the pointers reffering your blockchain data to others?
3. Use traditional internet to spread but it can be silenced. That is why you turn to blockchain tech.
4. Use some blockchains to hold the pointers but just look back to stage 1. Others could still cover your pointers by trash data.

Good morning all
I wanted to thank the person who introduced me to Bitcoin 2010
Our paths parted in 2011
I met him on a beach with his girlfriend a blonde on a paradise island
he measures 1m74
skin color: brown
curly hair
his first name: Arthur
his last name begins with the letter D.
My friend if you see this message send a PM
So it is Arthur Dent who introduced you to Bitcoin.  |
|
|
|
|
And shoud left wings cry how dare bitcoin protect the wealth of all people so that they can't rob the rich to feed the poor and enrich themselves.
|
|
|
|
|
Not safe. Not only because the hack of your email and phone.
You have asked that question which proves you know little about safety measures in crypto world.
Your bitcoin would still be in danger if you don't learn.

When comparing BTC vs Gold, just keep in mind this:
If one point could also be used to promote shitcoin over BTC, then it is not valid for BTC's superiority over Gold.

Here is a fascinating Forbes article about how the potential for confiscation of wealth by the authoritarian regime in China may be boosting Bitcoin, inspired by the mysterious disappearance of businessman Jack Ma. "One can almost see Chinese billionaires buying up Bitcoin, just in case Beijing comes for their wealth. Lord knows the dollar is in decline, and they probably already own a ton of stocks."https://www.forbes.com/sites/kenrapoza/2021/01/10/does-china-have-a-role-in-bitcoins--rise/?sh=6bf595a64965This also touches on how Argentinians are buying Bitcoin after the government's crackdown on holding dollars. Ultimately, these are cases that echo some of the original objectives for Bitcoin, rather than as a get rich quick scheme. Although no harm in getting rich in the process  Hong Kong, etc too. Pretty much anywhere where it could happen people should own some bitcoin. If the President of the US who has billions can be blocked by Stripe for payments, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube etc, then no one is safe anywhere. The fascists are having corporations do their bidding to cancel anyone who dares object. Digital Chinese or other state backed cryptos are worthless since they are centralize and can be frozen. Those anti-CCP HongKongese won't embrace bitcoin. If possible, they would just choose a currency giving them freedom while freezing CCP and pro-CCP HongKongese's wealth. Net neutrality means nothing to them. They begged another regime(which deprives Assange's freedom) to free them from CCP. How ironic. |

Don't be stupid. Chinese who believe bitcoin as a SOV have already bought it since years ago.
Those Chinese who don't believe it till rightnow would go for shitcoins/gbtc after seeing bitcoin's surge.
And since most of you guys can't read Chinese. I could tell you Jack Ma attended a tycoon's funeral in HongKong days ago.
CCP is aiming his business complex and data stored, but has no interest upon his life or personal freedom which is of little importance to the regime.

I would like to have a design like a digital picture frame: keep a slideshow with family pictures or single picture, use that display when doing crypto transactions Sometimes the best hidden things are in plain sight  Your thought is good. But don't post the method on internet if you are actually going to use it. I post my cold store method just bcz I was about to abandon it and I have changed to another methods. When I said remote control like hw wallet, it actually means I would never use it(or just use it as a bait) but seeking others that may blend into env. |
|

I myself prefer, say, a remote control looking hardware wallet with a TV/air conditioner which it can actually control.
Then nobody would doubt it is just a controller.
Until one day, your wife throws the remote control away or your kids dunk it in their orange juice  . Despite of being shiny or not, it would still get thrown or dunked when misfortune comes upon. I have a Nano S and it looks almost like an USB stick.
Trezor looks somewhat like the remote control for the garage (?)
The remote controls usually have too many buttons, even those for A/C. Another candidate may be a Gameboy, where actual games can be there to indeed hide the actual use of the device.
Would such device get more users? I kinda doubt it, but it's up to HW producers figure it out if it worth it (if you propose that to them).
So now some devices look somewhat close to existing electronics, while others not at all. If that matters to you, buy accordingly.
Bravo for a Gameboy. Of coz a gameboy should have a screen no one doubts. They should not have unique lookings and should not be easily distinguished from other electrical devices. All hardware wallets are going to have a unique look to them. If you want something that is indistinguishable from a USB drive or other generic hardware, then use such generic hardware. It won't be as convenient as a hardware wallet, but it can be just as safe, if not safer, provided you set it up and use it correctly. An encrypted USB drive which you can use to boot to a live OS and interact with your wallet in an airgapped environment. An encrypted airgapped old laptop, or if you need something even more portable, Raspberry Pi or mobile device. There are multiple non-hardware wallet options. That is why I still use a used cellphone as cold storage. I put many old used cellphones together in a drawer without a lock. Just a phone tomb if you ask my family members. I did have considered buying a unique looking hw wallet with half a coin put inside to work as a bait. |

I don't think it cool but shouting rob me or confiscate my coins to others instead.

Well, I could download from Google Play then extract the apk out then copy it to my offline cellphone to install.
But that gave me a bad impression that they don't give security a top priority.
(Well, just impression.It may still be a safe and sound app.)
Not secure. There's no guarantees that whatever you've downloaded is secure because there is no source of information to cross check and your trust will be fully on Google Play and yourself to be downloading the legitimate version. The reason why Electrum has PGP validation is such that the trust lies on the precompiled binaries by ThomasV and if you trust him, validating the program with his PGP is sufficient. That being said, most Android Apps are not designed for offline storage specifically but mainly for the convenience of accessing your funds from another wallet. I care about the download validation bcz one acquantaince of mine lost quite a bit fund last time the Electrum-LTC's official download site was compromised and he didn't do any validation at all. I know that we can't prevent but the risk could be mitigated a little. You can download the .apk from their website[1] and compare its hash with the one you extracted from the Google Play Store. If both match, you at least you know you have something less to worry about. [1] https://wallet.mycelium.com/contact.htmlTrue. A smart move. |

Well ,the page itself looks much nicer than Electrum one. But where is the GPG signature of the download files or any other similar things?
There are no hashes or GPG signatures at all available on that page. Maybe the downloads at Google Play and App Store have their own signatures bundled but I'm not sure. Well, I could download from Google Play then extract the apk out then copy it to my offline cellphone to install. But that gave me a bad impression that they don't give security a top priority.

Now I shall turn to another method by installing linux version Electrum on that phone.
(As I happened to deploy arm-linux on that same phone to run armory offline signer.)
If that method fails, I may have to switch to another app.
You just make things complicated the armory offline signer is for signing transaction not for "sign message" and I think you don't understand the difference between sign message and sign transaction? The only fast and easy solution to your problem is to use Mycelium as suggested above you can able to sign a message there. It looks like this   Just import your private key on that app and make a sign message. Or you might be talking about signing a transaction? If you are using Electrum you need to copy the hex/raw code and paste it to your android(Electrum) even it's offline you can able to sign the transaction and export the signed raw/hex transaction and then transfer them to any online device where you can broadcast the transaction. When I say armory signer, I refer it as a tx signer. I never say I used it to sign message. But linux version Electrum does support message signing. If I can't distinguish tx signing and message signing, I would never post this thread in the first place bcz android electrum supports tx signing of coz. Btw: does Mycelium has some similar counterparts like electrum personal server which could be used alongside with a full node? I also went to the mainpage of Mycelium, then the download page. Well ,the page itself looks much nicer than Electrum one. But where is the GPG signature of the download files or any other similar things? |

No it's not implemented in Android. There was a question like this a few years ago for an older version of Electrum: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2091408.0 and it wasn't implemented then either. I don't think anything has changed from viewing the commit history since then. Thanks! I was just about to mention the same thing NotATether did. So you are left with either restoring your wallet on the desktop client with the seed you received on your Android device, or you can do what was suggested in the thread that NotATether linked to, and use the Mycelium mobile app which has an option to sign messages via a mobile device.
Now I shall turn to another method by installing linux version Electrum on that phone. (As I happened to deploy arm-linux on that same phone to run armory offline signer.) If that method fails, I may have to switch to another app. |

I know how to sign a message upon certain address on PC version Electrum.
But my offline signing device is an android phone and I can't find coresponding buttons on android version.
Does it support or not?

It is damn so good as US has rigged elections of other countries multiple times.
US and its people deserve it.
This reminds me of the time when Rome was taken and sacked by its own legions in 88BCE.

Why was this being taught in schools? Was there really nothing secular to teach about? Although its not ok to attack someone for what they express, its also pretty fucking stupid to intentionally provoke an entire religion just for the sake of being offensive.
Knowing that there are crazy, murderous people out there, using cartoons of the prophet is asking for trouble. and at what benefit? Unlike abortions, bikinis, or rebuilding on holy sites, this kind of behavior doesn't even have a use other than pissing people off.
If showing a cartoon offends your religion, then the problem lies with your belief and not with the cartoon itself. France is a secular country, which used to respect the freedom of speech. Now justifying a murder, saying that the victim was "asking for trouble" is unacceptable for me. From what I have seen, Islamists are always on the forefront while claiming the victim card. Just look at the coverage of Uighurs in China and Rohingyas in Myanmar. But they never condemn barbarous atrocities such as this beheading. Muslims aren't the victims in China? Forced sterilization in concentration camps make you a victim, unless you're saying that they deserve to be there. Islam has plenty of issues and their ideals are not aligned at all with western values. That doesn't justify grouping them and putting them through torture. You can find drone footage of Chinese soldiers lining them up and hauling them away in trains, practically identical to Nazi Germany. Go to the extremes of any religion and you'll find plenty of apologists. I think Islam ranks #1 in that regard because extremism is seen too often and you'll find people that take extremism very lightly (or at worst, justifiable). Again, absolutely NONE of this justifies concentration camps and China should absolutely be condemned for doing so. Those people are the victims. Maybe one day you will find they just deserve some camps or whatever form other people call them. Hope that would not be too late. China's camps may be some sort of violation of human right. But I think democratic countries should have the ability to build better camps than China. US once built Japanese internment camps During WWII, FYI. |
