I'd recommend you take a look at the list of translators from https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5222178.0
Most of them have also portfolio published.
Just keep in mind that many may accept payment done only in BTC. Some may accept coins listed at major exchanges, but I would not necessarily count on that.

No, but I've surely seen their banner over the race at Red Bull Ring. I am not into crypto.com and one important reason is the huge amount of investors' money they've spent on the domain, but it's still a nice feeling to see that banner at such an important event. And since many more will come because of the Sprint series, even better!

Max did a flawless race, but I didn't really enjoy it because of so the many penalties (and the stupid errors that caused those penalties too, obviously).

Actually the worse until now was in 28 Jun (66.76 EH/s) and now it's (more or less) recovering, since we're at 96.5 EH/s.
So the "continues to drop" part is no longer correct. https://www.coinwarz.com/mining/bitcoin/hashrate-chart

One bloke I know only needed 2cm more than the length of his (small) car and he could park it. He prove it in front of me  It was some 15-18 years ago and then he became truck driver and our roads have split.
Modern cars have now all the sensors and software needed for automated parking. Yes, they need some 3-4 extra cm which cybertruck may be saving, but I'd say that this is more a commercial and no longer a game changer.
I don't say that this crab walk may not have certain use cases, but I don't find the feature so much important. Self driving, on the other hand, remains really handy, especially on long trips on the motorway. *That* was a game changer. 

And yeah, I'm still waiting for a real breakthrough in the science of batteries... That would be a huge leap forward and the (ultimate) breakthrough.

The title is again "extremely panicking" for no reason. But that's how news work.
Yes, the difficulty has dropped hugely indeed. All I can say is: finally!

The title would imply that something bad has happened this morning. But, no, not at all. The hash rate has dropped indeed badly, but for now the worse was last Monday and now it's actually recovering.
Since the difficulty retargeting period has ended, the difficulty has finally "matched the hash rate" in order to have again proper 10 minute block times.

So it's actually a good news, the mempool will clear up, but the "journalists", as usual, made it sound like something is burning.

Well, if you want full control, I find the easiest to handle all the folders you want with symbolic links.
Actually I've never used those command line options because I've used symlinks.

LOL! Maybe he's in for the thrill, not for the money 
I mean, he can afford easily to stay away too.

Being an unregulated/weakly regulated market, I'd say that worse things have already happened and he most probably cannot do anything we didn't already see.

From the way it's described, it'd say that it affects only the *.dat blocks and nothing else:

I would say that he's most certainly not alone in that, he has plenty of younger employees who were already telling him about Bitcoin, possibly for years.
I would add that most probably he has studied this - now and then - and now, since other prominent companies have joined the show, he decided to come too. Most probably he has waited for the first major dip after corporate money has became known to flow in.
He may be already buying the dip or he may have bought already. Companies like this don't tell the media exactly what they do and when they do it.

It's not a big deal, it's a program you install and when you run it, it behaves like another computer. You'll install there the OS and everything like on a fresh machine.
VirtualBox is free, play with it a little: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
I use to install https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/6.1.22/VirtualBox-6.1.22-144080-Win.exe on my windows and install a Win10 inside it.
The only thing you may have to look a bit is to mount an ISO as CD/DVD to install the OS.


Indeed, but they tend to be more and more careful to the details. And that worries me.

Try to get use to keep virtual PCs for this kind of jobs. It may be of great help, you won't waste that much time and you will not be forced to waste the time in the moments you'd do something else (your main computer will remain operational).

And yes, scammers' ingenuity is increasing... sadly...

No matter what they use for mining, I highly doubt that there will be many who would actually care about the few $ they can get from this.
It's just a commercial gimmick so the bitcoiners will discuss about the car. Nothing else. And those coins will most probably sit in the wallet forever.

Can you please check if it's the same problem as Bitcoin Core 0.21.1 rediculous window width (bug?)
Maybe some of the posts there would be of help too...

XRP is related to Ripple. Monero is XMR  
But I agree, there's much higher chance for OP to get scammed and install malware too than earning anything.


OP, keep in mind that mining consumes electricity and produces heat. This means that the few satoshi you may be earning you may be pay much more for the extra electricity you burned and also you may break your laptop if that's where you open this wonder miner (/s).



You should know that this has happened many years ago and certain browsers have even developed means to stop/disable such mining.

The fact that one country disallows certain operations of one company that didn't comply certain laws is really small actually. It's just hyper-inflated by the news papers.


Yeah, I was expecting the price moves upward also because in Germany the investment funds are legally allowed starting today play with Bitcoin. But the price seems to go downwards. I'm used with oddities and manipulation, so I'll just give it more time. It'll go up eventually 

His intentions are 100% clear: he wants to make even more money.

It may be good as advertising for Bitcoin. It may be bad for the price fluctuations and market manipulation, but we already have that so he cannot do much worse.
I'd say that's it's good and bad at the same level. Nothing impressive.

The change of optics has happened at some point and afterwards he started investing. The investment is what's to be followed. Posting, declarations, those are biased (and worthless). Of course that now his declarations will be bullish. I don't feel this being "dodgy".
I mean, I see it absolutely normal for the head of a company working with Bitcoin and investing into Bitcoin to declare "bitcoin is the "apex-predator asset" and that we should go all-in on bitcoin" as you said. But we know that such declarations are biased, but we're biased too, so we smile and move on.

Poate ca am o vedere prea "flower power" despre lume, dar nu cred ca e vorba de o astfel de conspiratie.
McAfee era incomod, si a facut multe tampenii, inclusiv pe altcoins. Ca s-a sinucis sau a ofst sinucis, da, exista o indoiala.
Despre acest Popescu, pe de alta parte, in caz ca nu a fost un accident, poate sa fie o gramada de alte directii:
* si-a facut niste dusmani unde nu trebuie
* niste mafioti s-au gandit ca le trebuie lor mult trambitatul milion de bitcoin, l-au amenintat, el nu a cedat, ...
* din diverse motive a vrut sa dispara si si-a inscenat moartea, lucru probabil suficient de convenabil si facil in Caraibe... (stim oare 100% ca inecatul era chiar Mircea Popescu, sau era doar cineva cu acte pe care scria Mircea Popescu? Plus ca numele Mircea Popescu suna extraordinar de comun si nu ma astept ca autoritatilor noastre sa le pese atat de mult cine e acolo, cat timp are pasaportul care trebuie)

You have missed completely the decentralized platforms where you can also buy/sell Bitcoin. Are they illegal in US?
Also you can buy/see to actual persons.
Not as comfortable as at Coinbase, but it is possible and it's not illegal.

I think that the only thing that it may become harder and harder in US would be day trading.
However, as long as US remains a big market, if certain platforms would "go away", others may make the steps to comply with the govt rules and take the place. There's quite a lot of money there.

All in all, you should not be worried.
