It's probably a legit service, although I barely ever understood those who pay for them. There are plenty of "one-week real virtual girlfriend" offers out there in the wild, would that surprise you as well? I mean, there's all sorts of stuff you can buy off the internet that you may see extremely weird (bath water? used undies that get more expensive the more days a girl has to wear?) Cheesy As long as there's someone to take the offer, why not, right..?

Yeah I'm with you on this. Topics like this are a little sad though, I'm sure there are better way sof finding friends/people to talk to irl or online...

Anyway I haven't seen those things for sale in a context where people aren't making fun of them, they're in the scope of random girls charging for nudes also based on what i've seen (have no idea on anything related to this as I don't mix virtual and physical relationships for what's probably an obvious reason)...

This is a perfect example of why so many persons didn't use Bitcoin when it all started. This forum is full of people who don't think and who also think everyone here is as poor as they are.

It's a rich sentiment considering you've come here with what could be a potential $90k and are wanting $50k for it, I didn't tnink $90k makes you rich let alone $50k? The average person's net worth is at least quadruple that in my country...

Are you wanting to use it for altcoins or for just bitcoin? If you're wanting to use the full functionality of the trezor web wallet then you can configure a vpn through your browser (with tor running in the background.

Tor? Are you sure you're not confused with Tor Browser since you mention port 9150 (rather than port 9050)

For firefox, click the three lines - then options.
Scroll down to network settings and click the settings button.
Enable manual proxy configuration and put the localhost (127.0.0.1) in the first box with the port 9150 and test your connection...

It's convenience, but comes with privacy implication due to unique browser fingerprint.

9150 was the port I ended up using...

And yeah I'd try booting it through a virtual os if you're really concerned for your anonymity...

Have you tried taking it to paper?

I'm not great at spotting things like this but I'd suggest it may be factoring in an exchange rate into the mix in order to change these relevant to the %... There may also be a fee added that this is accounting for too if you've selected it on a certain exchange.
4245  Economy / Economics / Re: Is a real estate crash/dip due? on: May 12, 2020, 07:01:17 PM
Well, considering there is a renting problem right now, real estate should be dropping in value for a while right now, I don't know why it hasn't. Think about it if you owned a bunch of buildings and people are denying to pay for the rent, you are making no profit at all and you are basically going broke as well.

I understand that as a leftist myself the ownership of many buildings sounds capitalist and I should not support that, however in this situation the trouble is with the system and not with the people that own the buildings.

I think in the UK you have to prove you have sufficient liquidity to pay off a loan and maintain it or you have to get loans that don't surpass 20% of general annual income (this could be completely wrong though). Landlords that have been here a while will not have much to worry about if they were preparing for a crash to pick up new properties, some have threefold in certain growing regions here in value so a lot of liquidity could probably still be found even if the rate halves or something.

Real estate is not collapsing but is just a situation new to the world, the covid-19 pandemic that is causing hardship because countries are losing focus or rather channeling resources to covid-19 issues. Also some land owners are cutting off their hodlings as there are no new investment on the area or real estate. It will come up when this problem is gone.

Saw a news article today asying a lot of real estate has started to stagnate due to covid 19 and it'll cause more problems over the next year or so immediately for definite...

A lot of people will struggle to do viewings and get listings and if people want to stay in a house to see how it feels are you going to have a 2 week period between people so no one catches anything how's that going to work?

A lot of people will say you can do virtual viewings but who trusts estate agents not to "touch up" photos or hide creatin things... Painting the day before a dry spell and then pretending there is no damp/mould is possible if you can't smell it or anything...

You could at least tell us the site? Some mining sites are prone to scamming, if you don't tell us here try to search for it instead.
4248  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Trezor web wallet leak ip / data ? on: May 10, 2020, 08:30:02 PM
You have to download trezor Bridge to use a trezor whatever software you're going to use.

If you want more anonymity you can channel bitcoin and other altcoins through their specific electrum wallet, connecting through tor. (just enable it like a normal socks5 proxy with the tor control port afaik)... This'll mean you probably won't be sending information to trezor (haven't checked the connections trezor Bridge opens).

Most exahnges are against you buying or selling cryptocurrency on another's behalf so is tread with caution if you do that with higher amounts... There might not be much of a way for them to track it though.

Coinbase will allow you to withdraw to a bitcoin address or to send to them via email if they have a coinbase account.

Wow, these are becoming very frequent then, I saw another channel get hacked recently - few weeks ago... That live got taken down within a few hours and I think the account was returned to its owner.

They were using coinbase giving away free btc as their "strategy"...
4251  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: basic questions on: May 10, 2020, 07:06:23 PM
This is a bit of a weird question and depends on what you want? If you're fine with kys a lot of people use coinbase. It might be better to try to search for something in your area though to see if there's a good local exchange. The US, europe and india (just naming a few places) will all have different options availabe and speeds of transfer.
4252  Economy / Economics / Re: Is a real estate crash/dip due? on: May 10, 2020, 07:04:11 PM
All we know the reason of this crash. Worldwide global economy has been crashing and real estate isn't out of global economies. Since lots of peoples lost their real life job and other businesses crashed as well so people have lack of hand cash. So usually they wouldn't interested to invest on real estate business. Most likely when global epidemic will end then real estate business would start recover slowly.

My point was that I don't think physical real estate has crashed yet... But it may be due to soon. I think real estate is normally given to take a hit when the market looks as if it is recovering and then interest rates go up and mortgages don't look as good to a lot of investors.

There's been some fearmongering about the collapse of Airbnb rentals, which has been a quickly growing mortgage-backed sector: Experts Say Struggling Airbnb Hosts May Be Forced to Sell Their Properties
Airbnb is always a risky investment choice and I don't think many people who care about their returns/risk have it as a main investment option - there's always loads of additional stuff that comes up now and then about licensing and other things that may hit the sector at some point. Afaik, they're not currently needing a licence in most places as it's peer to peer.

I would set my sights a couple years out. With the last US housing bubble, prices peaked in Q1 2007 and bottomed out in Q1 2009, and later went back near the lows in late 2011. It takes a while for economic shocks like this to truly sink in.

Yeah people put faith into real estate afaik when stuff like this happens because people are still going to want housing...
4253  Economy / Economics / Re: Some Strategies to Face the Next Crisis on: May 10, 2020, 05:36:38 PM
I think for most people this will either be what they're already doing or what they can't afford to do so I'm not certain how helpful this advice may be...

I would say investing in long term investments is a good idea for SOME people now and some people will have guarenteed income (most people also have severance and redundancy packages of they're on salaried income and lose their job - it's just new workers will be hit quite hard by this)...
4254  Economy / Speculation / Re: Major dump started like 5 minutes ago on: May 10, 2020, 12:47:07 AM
Yeah I have no idea where its going to go from here personally. I expected a dump to happen after the halving and we probably will see one (more brutal than this) but weight recover a bit first...

A lot of people expected a drop to 9100 on the half hour Timeframe but we spectacularly broke that...

We were at 7000s-8000s range for so long, a drop to here is probably actually pretty healthy for now if we don't shoot through it in a few minutes/hours/days.
4255  Economy / Economics / Is a real estate crash/dip due? on: May 08, 2020, 10:56:58 PM
This is one of those weird things where etfs seem to have dropped 60% initially and recovered a bit while actual housing hasn't. A lot of the current market is a bit unsustainable since current rent in most places in the UK is double the monthly cost of a 26-30 year mortgage (though I accept the landlord has other bills and they're taking a risk with their investment somewhat)...

With a lot of jobs being cut in many countries, we may see a slump in prices but I don't know if demand is still going to be there or not still (because housing was already unplayable for a lot of people so a lot of it is propped up by investments anyway here).

So do you think a crash is coming and would you predict when it would be? Last time it was 18 months (back in 2006) afaik.
4256  Economy / Economics / Re: Foreigners being airlifted by countries but government is just ying to get money on: May 08, 2020, 06:19:36 PM
I don't think it's possible to sue a government for extortion... Which country are you going from and to?

If you have the money and the current country is safe it might be worth staying there especially if they're doing better economically and you can speak local languages there...

No problem, if it doesn't work let me know as you might be able to try the andreas one or others.

4259  Economy / Economics / Re: The EU Should Issue Perpetual Bonds? on: May 07, 2020, 08:52:24 PM
Such funding has not been used in the EU so far, and has historically been used by the UK to fund the Napoleonic Wars and the World War I. Interestingly, these bonds were active until 2015.

The oldest one of these I've seen is probably this: https://news.yale.edu/2015/09/22/living-artifact-dutch-golden-age-yale-s-367-year-old-water-bond-still-pays-interest

I saw a video on it a while ago and it is still paying interest (probably 12 years of interest is one water bill so by now it's more a historical artifact than anything).

Long term and perpetuity bonds were more appealing to the governments, not to the investors. It is perhaps because of the stock market outperforms the bond market for the past 20 years. And inflation made the coupons basically worthless after tens of years.

Stock investments are risky and with interest rates of banks being almost zero this may seem desirable - espeically for people who can't afford real estate investments - but it is quite string they haven't tried to offer 2% or higher to make it have an incentive.

Since there are about 12.5 trillion euros in circulation, if there's a 1.7%+ inflation rate then offering 2-3% wouldn't cost too much and might be more lucrative than what is currently on offer.

There is the chance that these bonds will end up being sold really cheaply in a few years but people might buy them as a hedge against any sort of assets to try to save current profits better. A lot's happened in the past 20 years, it might not continue to outpreform bonds.

You can actually download it straight from electrum's site if you want to try with that site first. I never had play services running on my old phone while using it.
