I am not sure, but won't Schnorr/Taproot fix this too? Or is it only wishful thinking from my side?

Yep, Mercedes strategy was great and flawlessly executed. On the other hand it was ugly what they did to Bottas and I think that they wanted to prove a point for some internal dispute. Maybe it's indeed his last year at Mercedes.
I'm sorry for Max, he did pretty well and the early overtaking was a great move. Unfortunately the team didn't think farther than that.

I can't say about Leclerc that it's better than Max or not, but I can tell that after the fiasco cars from last year(s), now the Ferraris are surprisingly good.
Sergio had a good race, but he has to become soon a constant threat for Mercedes, else the team results will not get to look better than this one.
Sainz does good and still improving, I'm happy for him, despite the fact he runs now for Ferrari 
McLaren was disappointing this week-end.

Alpha Tauri, Alpine and Aston Martin had big words at the start of the year, but they are all more than disappointing. The fight for 3rd place on the podium seems to take place only between Ferrari and McLaren.

There has been a MultiDoge too back then. I don't know how difficult would be to find it and also try to load up the wallet, still, it could be another direction...

He has the money, he has the time and he has found out crypto, hence he has a "new toy" he enjoys.
While Bitcoin is a good store of value and a great investment vehicle (which will make Tesla look profitable even if they don't meet the shareholders' expectations as car maker), Dogecoin is a coin with big community and huge amount of hopium, which can be played. I don't know if Elon does all this pump game, I think that somebody else is profiting that Elon has this new toy and Elon just doesn't mind, since he's also on profit because of this.
About what he says.. it's rather unpredictable, isn't it? 

Since Bitcoin is back on the rise and I'm in a good mood, I'll also wear your avatar and text for free, for a while. Maybe it helps. And maybe it also opens the eyes here and there for an advertising business model on avatars and personal texts, which are visible in more places than the signatures 
Just since it's for free, I won't promise for how long I'll do this. It may be days, weeks or more, but no promises.

I would not be surprised if this is indeed happening, however, I see some problems:
1. Why all this has to be as declarations instead of clearly helping out the "culprits" into doing it right or fine them? Because in the current way it's just cheap talk against crypto scene.
2. Isn't it a bit late to notice and handle this? And I'm back to cheap talk at TV.
3. Are there any proper guidelines to allow a coin/whatever get properly categorized? (I clearly don't know, but I somehow doubt it).

So.. yeah... politics...


Edit: I've found out that SEC did actually act too, just I didn't know. See here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5336088.msg57155143#msg57155143

Yes, they've fixed the part where the server can send anything as alert.
But that's "ancient history" now. My point was that in the same way, any code can run there as long as it meets the requirements to identify itself as Electrum server. And if somebody wants to add privately some "chain analysis" code on top of the official Electrum server code, it can be done and you'll never know.

Since Electrum relies on 3rd party servers, you don't know what is in the code ran on the server (remember when they added the links to the phishing Electrum?). It clearly has all it needs to spy on you if the server owner want to.
So most probably the code doesn't have anything for spying, but it can be added. Or the info from logs may also give quite some info.

And yes, best would be to broadcast to your own server on top of your Bitcoin node, although then you may no longer actually need Electrum and just use Bitcoin core.

...And I thought it's a coin intended for all computer science related people: IT coin 

In primul rand, cred ca-ti "racesti gura" de pomana. Cred ca postarea a fost tradusa (cu oarecare succes) din alta limba, iar proprietarul contului este fie doar partial, fie deloc vorbitor de romana. Poate ca ma insel, dar asa cred. Plus ca postarea este doar in scop de reclama pentru acel website.
Eu am raportat postarea, dar se parea ca fara succes.

In rest, da, ai dreptate si cu faptul ca nu se stie daca asta a fost varful pe 2021 sau, mai bine spus, sunt sanse mari sa nu fi trecut inca bull run-ul, si da, DCA / Dollar Cost Average este una dintre cele mai bune variante pentru investit, atat timp cat "investitorul" fie nu lucreaza cu sume prea mici, fie nu retrage (in cazul unui exchange centralizat, de exemplu) de fiecare data in portofelul propriu, ca sa nu piarda prea mult cu taxele da retragere sau de tranzactie (depinde de caz).

They'll be able to also replace the website with a phishing clone of Binance or Bitcointalk.
So I'd be more wary about this. Even if it's harmless once, it can too easily turn evil.

It's not sorted, but I don't understand the rule yet.
I don't think that's the bot, since in the actual Telegram I get the information/text only once.

Edit: and the requested picture is here:

Please go fishing with your BSV trolling to altcoin topics.
I can't help but enjoying your perfect timing: you talk about high fees when 2 sat/vByte transactions are mined.
It shows your degree of understanding on what you're talking about.

As soon as the companion app got installed and the band got paired, the update has started. I don't even remember if I had to approve/acknowledge/click anything for that
Just I don't remember which companion app did this because I've installed Xiaomi Wear, then Mi Fit, then Xiaomi Wear again.
So I think I have the last. I have V1.0.0.34_android160

An interesting update:
* a post of mine was removed because an user got nuked -> 2 notifications
* your post where you quoted me -> 1 notification (!?)
Obviously, both are after the stop/start of notifications.

I can't advise on that, I usually buy stuff when I need it or the old breaks, not because it's new (or new version)


I have Android phone, an older Redmi, so the compatibility should be great (I hoped). Just it's Android 8.1
I've stopped the notifications for Telegram and one came onto phone and not band - good.
I've started the notifications again on the band and .. they're get doubled again.

Oh well, if anybody finds out why, please write and add my name so I get notified (twice!).

You don't change your passphrase, you create a new wallet from a new passphrase and send there.

One variant for the steps is pretty well described in mk4 post.
I don't want to confuse you more, but it may worth considering Tails OS for the temporary wallet, since it's on USB stick with Electrum already installed (although it's not easy peasy if you're not computer savvy, you have to write down a temporary seed and keep in mind that's temporary, it would be wonderful to temporarily use the Tails as cold storage and there are a lot of transfers and reboots necessary).

On the other hand, if the funds are consistent and you're not computer savvy, the safest course of actions is to buy a second hardware wallet and transfer there. Of course, this time write down safely the seed.

Maybe another time. This 2 sat/vByte tx was confirmed 3 blocks ago. And  it's not even Saturday

I've just got Mi Band 6 less than a week ago. I like it, but I guess that I'm missing something in the settings.

The messages from the Telegram bot come to my band twice.
WhatsApp messages are, on the other hand, not doubled.
Any idea why's that?

PS. Thanks for the tutorial!

I didn't intend to be arrogant. But when corporations already store value of billions in Bitcoin, you complaining and coming with an example of 16$ is weak, sorry.
Especially as anybody knows (or I thought they know) that too many small inputs make a transaction big, hence more expensive. That means that withdrawing/putting away values like 16$ are not feasible for HODL/store and it makes more sense to wait until the value gets much bigger (let's say over 100$, imho, to keep it in $, and that by gathering more bitcoin, not by waiting a new ATH), no matter what the transaction costs "now".
Hence, in this context, of storing, 16$ is too small to make sense.

All in all, if you want to use Bitcoin as store of value you don't care almost at all about tx fees because you HOLD, not transfer funds on the daily basis, and when you transfer you do that with bigger amounts at a time and with low priority fee.

I don't understand what is Poolin doing. They signal Taproot in certain blocks and don't signal it on other blocks.
I guess that they have more than one pool and not all those are upgraded in the same way, but I still find it odd...


Switch to the main tab and it'll tell that we're already late for this 2016 blocks period, since over 90% of the blocks should be signaled and it's not longer possible.
Somehow we should rise awareness, maybe more pools join before the next difficulty period.
