Woke up to see corn above 18k and reading that the Germans have been served a 0:6 by the Spaniards. (I don't care about football soccer at all, hockey fan here, but it is always nice to see the Germans lose in football <- no offense meant to our german friends at all)

What is next? Corona magically disappearing, eternal life, free lunch for everybody, taxes suspended for 2020? It really can't get much better than this.
I start to get this "too good to be true feeling" .. If we hit 20k this week I am gonna see the doc to make sure I am still in the right reality and this' all really true.

Watched the movie just a few days ago (it's brilliant really) and couldn't help but think all the time that I am not long on BTC, I am actually short on fiat. Quite a change on perspective and feeling now a bit like the garage investor chaps in the movie to whom the above quote is addressed.

Cleared cache, restarted browser, same error.

Is the error you get from graviex or possibly from some DDoS protection outfit like cloudflare ?

407  Economy / Economics / Re: PayPal to allow cryptocurrency buying, selling and shopping on its network on: October 25, 2020, 08:42:41 AM
<snip>

And one will matter, their fees, coz afaik paypal has too high charging fees even the conversion from usd to other currencies, so expect it, nonetheless, welcome to crypto.

^This!

Send 1BTC (say from 1-3 UTXOs): ~1-5 USD fee
Send 15k USD via Paypal: ~550 USD fee

I once received a payment from a customer of around 15k USD via PP, immediately had to spend it at our suppliers shop to buy the items for the customer. Total fees for both transactions was ~1100 USD (though ~half of it was paid by the supplier). If Bitcoin had the fees Paypal has, I would start mining it by tomorrow and be highly profitable at 20c/kWh.

But it's worth mentioning that for that minimal difference in fees, PP "confirms" a tad faster.
408  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: October 22, 2020, 11:13:45 AM
If PayPal never introduces a withdrawal (or even conversion) feature then I will be sad and yes it will be all for not, but I do not believe this to be the case.

I imagine they're concerned with fraudulent withdrawals. Fraudulent fiat withdrawals can be reversed. Not so with bitcoin.

I'd rather think there is a KYC/AML angle to it. Right now banks and credit card companies do all the KYC stuff for Paypal's on- and off-ramps. If you deposit or withdraw BTC they would need to do that on their own. I believe they will be completely happy to take their exorbitant fees once you use or sell your crypto again.

Still it's awesome news for BTC-exposure and -adoption and obviously price appreciation as they have to buy the BTC they sell at least to a certain degree if they do not want to be burnt in this bull cycle.

Personally I won't touch PP ever again, not even with a long rusty fork, I even would go so far to say they deserve the proverbial rusty pipe shoved up their greedy backdoor for quite a few good reasons.

Google at this point is where Altavista was when Google came on the scene. People used Google because it had a simple page, was quick, and not choked with crap.

All this has happened before, all this will happen again.

AltaVista never had near the money at that time that Google has now. They won't be as easy to buy out, especially not by Yahoo  Roll Eyes

I have started to use https://asciimoo.github.io/searx/ some time ago, it's a very nice meta-search engine that can easily run from an old RPi.

I have read a lot of your posts Lauda, though we never talked directly, and I always felt like you have been a great value to this forum.

It is sad to see you leave and even the chaps on my hat wish you godspeed and all the best for your future (we rats generally dislike kitties, especially the grumpy ones but you were always an exception).

Stay safe, clean and grumpy!

In other news, remember the WinNuke or Ping of Death from the last millennium?

Microsoft has upgraded it to IPv6...:

...
A remote code execution vulnerability exists when the Windows TCP/IP stack improperly handles ICMPv6 Router Advertisement packets. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the ability to execute code on the target server or client.

To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would have to send specially crafted ICMPv6 Router Advertisement packets to a remote Windows computer.

The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how the Windows TCP/IP stack handles ICMPv6 Router Advertisement packets.

Such plans really depend on living in cheap places though, don't they ? Difficult to live on low income if you have high costs of living, property taxes etc.

I can not talk for the whole world, only for where I live, but my impression is that you can make any place a cheap place if you set some priorities and lower your expectations in terms of eating out, holidays, car etc.

Thought I'd share this, made me optimistic, like a toke from the hopium bong:

* psycodad sees a slight chance he will not be forced to flip burgers by 2025

I am going to speculate that you have been accumulating BTC at minimum of about $100 per month for the past 5 years - and therefore you have already accumulated a BTC stash of at least more than 4 BTC.....  (See this BTC DCA estimator, currently set at 5 years but can be adjusted to view different possible timelines)

If you keep accumulating BTC for another 5 years, maybe, at minimum, you could accumulate another 1 to 2 BTC, so therefore you should have at least 5 BTC, and perhaps 6 or more BTC.

Maybe flipping burgers will still be necessary, depending on how much capital you need, and whether I have underestimated the size of your stash, and of course, there are no guarantees that bitcoin is going to appreciate more than 10x from here in the next 5 years, even though I would think that you have decent odds of two more BTC price cycles that could well get you more than 10x BTC price appreciation.

Seems like you have not provided enough details... Based on the totality of your personal circcumstances and how you anticipate them to be in about 5 years, how much of a BTC price appreciation do you believe that you would need in order to feel comfortable to transition out of burger flippening?

I am sure you will understand that I do not want to disclose too much wrt to amount of BTC owned (I do not want a thug boat with a wrench going after me) but I understand that the way I said this sparked some curiosity on your side which I appreciate as interest in my person/story and  that I'll try to satisfy.

I have never bought BTC with fiat until half a year ago. I mined shitcoins(TM) since 2014 and sold them for BTC, LTC and DOGE which I consider good for HODLing over a longer period of time, though mainly BTC. Up until 2017 I mostly made sure to never have more BTC in my wallet than I could afford to lose should it go to zero. The 2017/2018 bull season changed my perspective and made me kind of greedy so I started to stack every single sat and hoped for a quick recovery (that didn't go too well as you all know). Therefor I had to sell a sizeable amount of BTC to pay invoices during the last crypto winter - at worst times even at 3k.

We went into partial FuckYou mode this spring because the missus and me could now afford a few years living a very frugal but happy life on low income and fiat reserves acquired through a property sale and because we are both fucking sick of the corporate world nowadays (read: not good at lying at customers, blaming others successfully for your failures and making yourself look much better than you are and not liking endless and meaningless bullshit bingo meetings with people that love to hear themselves talking while avoiding real work as best as they can).
I ran my own business for over 25yrs but it seems that nowadays there is no room for no bullshit businesses. People seem to literally expect you to lie at them at every occasion and discount for it, if you don't lie like the others your offering just looks weak since customers are used to discount half of what you said as lies and exaggeration.

That said, in ~4-5 years we will probably have to start getting some fiat out i.e. for maintenance on our home. 40-50k in 2024 would make things look pretty nice and a prospect of selling BTC at 100k or more in 2030 would be just marvelous. It basically boils down to when we can afford to forego completely the low income we still have.

If things age not so well until 2025, then I'd have to figuratively consider to wear a shirt with a capital yellow M on it for the night shift (ugly old geezers only get to serve at the drive-in counter at night when you can't see how old and ugly they really are) or have some wealthy relative fatally miss a step on the stairways (j/k, I have no wealthy relatives). In reality it will just delay the full FuckYou mode for longer than we hoped and wished for.

I understand that this is a very risky life plan, but then again SWMBO and me believe in fiat becoming more and more worthless over time and at the same time BTC becoming even more scarce and in demand as store of value than it already is.
Also in my whole business life all the risks I took seemed in hindsight always higher with a lesser chance of great profitability than it now looks with BTC. In short, just sitting on our hands for some years seems like the most profitable business plan I ever came up with.

I have been pulling my hair out over the DNS seeders,.

You can use explorer.canadaecoin.ca as a node, which should also give you more nodes via p2p.

add `addnode=explorer.canadaecoin.ca` in your config file or type `addnode explorer.canadaecoin.ca add` within your debug console.


Sorry about the issue here psycodad,  we will have those dns seeders fixed asap.

Thank you for the swift reply koad.

Got it synching and all my CDN are there, the migration worked fine.
