Doesn't really matter when you consistently provide zero proof for any of your nonsense. Might as well claim all doctors are literally controlled by Gates via his 5GVaxMicroChip.

The most recent study of 11 developed countries put the US 9th on timeliness of care and 11th (last) on access to care. All the other countries which outperformed the US have socialized medicine. But as usual, don't let facts get in the way of your nonsense.

Except all the countries with government regulated health care outperform the US in health care outcomes, so again, that is demonstrably false.

Ahh yes, "You can't prove me wrong so it must be true." The stupidest of the stupid arguments. Did you know most doctors think anyone taking ivermectin has an IQ <50. It's true because you can't prove otherwise!

If you make a claim like "Most doctors are taking ivermectin" (which is a blatant falsehood, by the way), then rational discourse requires that you substantiate that claim. Stating it is "obvious" is not evidence.

Don't know why I'm expecting the guy taking fish and horse medication to be rational though. That's my bad.

And humans with a 0% chance of survival due to lack of higher brain function are both medically and legally dead.

A zygote is no more a human life than a skin cell.

You don't need to be conscious, but you need to have the capacity for consciousness. Adults without the capacity for consciousness are declared dead. Fetuses without the capacity for consciousness are not yet a life.

If someone on a ventilator still has higher brain function and still has a possibility of survival, then that person will receive full medical treatment.
If someone on a ventilator has been declared brain dead, then that is no longer a viable life (despite their heartbeat) and will have medical treatment withdrawn.

If a fetus has higher brain function and has a possibility of survival when they are born, then they will receive full medical treatment.
If a fetus has no higher brain function and will not survive even with advanced medical equipment, then it is not a viable life.

Living cells start at conception. A human life, by definition, cannot start until there is enough brain development to sustain consciousness, which is around 26 weeks.

How ridiculous to want evidence regarding the management of a deadly virus rather than just taking horse dewormer because a guy on the street told you to.

So your source is "Someone told me", and your conspiracy vlog sources are conspiracy blogs. Well, that sounds super convincing. 

Citation needed.

Citation needed.

Right, the MsM pRoPaGaNdA like the FDA website which states oral tablets. However did all your research reading Facebook and watching conspiracy vlogs see through it all!?

Why am I not surprised that the guy who takes fish antibiotics is now taking horse dewormer? Lol.

The limit of viability is around 24 weeks. The nervous system developments necessary for feeling pain do not occur until the 26th week.

There are people living without a heartbeat through Ventricular Assist Devices, and there are hearts beating away inside brain dead people. A heartbeat is a poor indicator of a viable life.

QFT.

That's not what I said. I said governments enforce currencies, as opposed to specific methods of transacting that currency, all the time.

If I remember correctly, when you import a private key in to BlueWallet it scans all the relevant addresses looking for which one has been used, and then imports that one. If it finds none of them have been used, it defaults to the nested segwit (P2SH-P2WPKH) address, which will start with a 3.

Have you ever used this vanity address? It might be that you need to send some funds to it before you can import it to BlueWallet.

Edit: Just had a look through the code and it looks like I'm right, except it will default to a legacy address beginning with a 1 if it finds no used addresses. You can see the code here if you are interested: https://github.com/BlueWallet/BlueWallet/blob/master/class/wallet-import.js#L250-L268

Enforcing a specific payment method for fiat isn't the same as enforcing an actual currency though, and governments force merchants to accept *insert fiat of choice* all the time. There needs to be consensus across the country about what constitutes an acceptable payment, as if everyone tries using different currencies or even just plain bartering different goods and services, then widespread trade and commerce becomes very difficult, if not impossible.

Merchants would be free to immediately convert their bitcoin to fiat, if that's what they choose to do. But if an individual wants to pay in bitcoin, then equally I think that they should be free to do so.

As jackg has pointed out, they are losing market dominance. 20 years ago if you wanted to buy something in a store or online, you could pay in cash, Visa, or Mastercard. Now you can use Google Pay, Apple Pay, Microsoft Pay, PayPal, Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, Advanced Cash, dozens of other banking or payment apps, and now bitcoin too. They will be feeling the squeeze, and this is only going to get worse for them over time.

I appreciate that point of view, but that's not what I think of when I think of addressing the unbanked. Bitcoin overcomes the issues with banks, not the issues with entire infrastructure of the country. If you have terrible credit and have been turned down by a bank, bitcoin addresses that. If you have no ID and so can't open a bank account, bitcoin addresses that. If you have no fixed address and can't open a bank account, bitcoin addresses that too.

Really it should be expected at this stage. We all say that if you value your privacy and security that you should not be using wallets which are closed source, or installing software which is closed source, or running an OS which is closed source, but then when it comes to exchanges, no one seems to care. Open source is one thing, but if the source code contains provisions for them to lock your account if they don't like your KYC details or the trades you are making, then it doesn't really matter and it isn't decentralized.

DEX is a buzzword that most people don't understand. People still call LocalBitcoins a DEX just because it is peer to peer despite being completely centralized, requiring you to deposit coins to their wallets, demanding KYC, and frequently locking accounts. The exchange IDEX has DEX in the name and market themselves as the "fastest and most secure DEX", and yet require KYC, have control over your account, have control over the smart contracts they run, have control over which coins they list, etc.

They'll market themselves as a DEX, people will lap it up and not understand the difference.

So, just to be clear, you set up a new wallet using your Ledger Nano linked to Electrum, then took the seed of that wallet, entered it in to Ian Coleman, spun up this weird derivation path, and sent coins to it? Unless you are completely certain that you have properly airgapped the computer you used, then I would consider that seed phrase compromised.

The only one of those three paths which will be recoverable using your Ledger Nano and Electrum will be the first one, following the steps I gave above. The other two do not follow the BIP44 standard and so are not recoverable using either Electrum or Ledger Live. I'm not sure of any software which will connect to a Ledger Nano and let you open wallets at arbitrary paths like these. If it were me, I would be importing those private keys to an airgapped Electrum wallet and sending the funds on them back to my hardware wallet under a standard derivation path.

In future, if you want a different account, then open a new wallet with the same Ledger Nano and Electrum, only changing the third number in the derivation path. For example, m/84'/0'/1', m/84'/0'/2', m/84'/0'/3', and so on.

A full derivation path for a specific address might look like this: m/84'/0'/2'/1/0. This is broken down as follows:

84 - Purpose. Essentially tells us that it will be a segwit address.
0 - Coin type. Bitcoin main chain (i.e. not testnet).
2 - Account. The third account.
1 - Change. 0 for receiving, 1 for change.
0 - Address index. The first address.

So, when you create a new wallet (which is an account), you should only specify the first three numbers - m/84'/0'/2', in this case. The last two numbers are different for every address in that wallet.

Almost. m/84'/0'/1'/0/0 through m/84'/0'/1'/0/19 will be the first 20 addresses in the second account.

m/84'/0'/1'/1/0 through m/84'/0'/1'/1/19 will be the first 20 change addresses in the second account.

Electrum will never generate addresses at this path, since as explained above, it is non standard.

"A network working for everyone." Unless you say or do anything we don't like, in which case we will suspend your payments, freeze your transactions, and close your account. Just like we did with Wikileaks. Or with Pornhub. Just play by our rules, let us monitor your every move, pay us a ridiculous percentage for the privilege, and you'll be just fine.

I've never thought of Visa as a network which is "fighting to connect people" or any other marketing nonsense, and I'm pretty sure no one else has either. It is a credit card provider and a payment processor. I'm inclined to agree that them attempting to rebrand themselves using so many buzzwords of things which bitcoin actually does better is a bit suspicious.

This deserves a special celebration. 2⁷ weeks paid, which is also the security of a bitcoin private key.

Cheers.

Presumably these are local power outages as well? Shouldn't really make a difference to people using apps on phones with mobile data? The merchant can always use their phone to create a back up QR code if their wall-powered terminal is offline.

Sure, but equally nothing stopping them from downloading the Chivo app, claiming the $30 free bitcoin, and then immediately withdrawing it to their own wallet, ideally via a mixer.

Yeah, that's initially what I thought as well, although now it seems like it will be entirely optional.

Yes. As far as I am aware, there is no way to import a seed phrase and with this derivation path in to Electrum without manually editing the source code, since it does not follow the BIP39 schematics. Again, where did you create this path and with which wallet? Do you have a known seed phrase with funds on this path?

As I said above, those are not the correct derivation paths. You need to use m/84'/0'/1'.

See below:


These address match the address you have generated in this post using Ian Coleman.

So create a brand new wallet using your Ledger Nano, then use an offline version of Ian Coleman to import your old seed phrase and obtain the private key at your non-standard derivation path, import that private key in to a wallet of your choice (again, preferably offline for maximum security) and send all the funds to your new hardware wallet.
