Depends on trust level. Raw transactions or sending private keys is two options that come to my dumb mind at the moment.

SMS is plaintext and insecure by default, so sending private key is idiotic idea from beginning that just might work.

It is just a game. Everyone have the same rules. Sometimes I am angry at developer decisions and game balance changes, but remember - it is just a game! Take it easy!

Having cool head and thinking how to game the opponent is how to make victory out of bad situation.

My 16h shift, this is my longest working day.
The reason is that I helped him to do that, his son was sick so he had to take him to the doctor.
You see, working is a slavery. What is more important - some job that is basically meaningless, or a sick childrens health?

I am thinking a lot about it. We have apps to share cars (basically stupid idea), but we have no app to do some random odd job and get paid instantly. And have bid system. And reputation system. Everyone will be a winner, except modern shave owners a.k.a employers.

one thing is valuable as long as others are willing to buy it. Remember to always ask yourself first why the person is selling it
Person selling it is making money by buying cheap, repairing and selling for profit. He is selling the object in question so cheap because of remote location. And in country with one of fastest depopulation rates in world it is hard to find buyer in rural area.

i never worked in my entire life not even one hour

Lol and are you proud of this?
I mean, ok... You don't have to work overtime (it is not something that you have to be proud of) but you have to do something to make a living. If you are lazy then you do not have to work not even one hour of course...
Working is not something heroic to be proud of. Working is basically modern slavery. I have worked to get money and complete some goals that can be completed by money. But I prefer to work for myself, even do something illegal as long as it is safe and profitable and I am independent. One exception is doing something that matters, like saving people as medic or emergency rescue team. Or a soldier.

Nobody in my country have become rich by working. All current millionaires become millionaires by privatizing state owned property at the downfall of USSR. Later some organized crime bosses become millionaires in the turmoils of 90-ties. Working people get just enough money to get by from one payday to next one. All people I know have risen above the basic worker by engaging in different criminal activities.

It can work, but where to borrow? Bank or loan firm is not an option. I have no legal work and no bank account in my country. I cannot get legal work because all salaries are paid to IBAN accounts and due to problems with state revenue service I cannot open bank account. I do my banking by having bank account outside european union and by using prepaid credit cards.

What about the spammers filling the comment section in various blogs with money loan offers? Are they just going to harvest the personal details for identity fraud or they are running some scheme involving money mules?

Just curious, is there some job recession in your country at the moment? AFAIK, the IT job industry is pretty much healthy in mine.

And legally you might just want to find a job quickly to save up that 6 grand, even if it's not aligned to your job scope. Any other shortcuts still require effort and various amounts of financial injection on your end.
The financial ruination is still ongoing since late 2008

IT industry needs programmers and WEB designers. IT technicians are not required and they are paid minimum wage (approx. 400eur after taxes) and system administrators need various certifications, experience and developer skills I do not have. And IT job is concentrated in capital city. I live in rural area.

In addition to computer repair tehnician and system administrator (and moonlighting as a hacker and botnet server operator) I worked various manual jobs at different stages in my life. Junk metal collector, sawmill operator, charcoal furnace operator, security guard. I even served in volunteer battalions in Ukraine. I am ready to do any work that pays. But the minimum wage is pretty much useless. 400eur/month is just for existence, and it is still not enough for single person to live independently. Even less than to save any meaningful amount of money for something.

I am ready to boldly do some black things. Like help laundering money trough banks or supply means for fraudsters as long as it pays. I opened this topic not to complain how shitty is life and economics in some parts of europe, but to get ideas.

I have a rare opportunity to get something valuable for 6000EUR that is worth more than that. I need ideas how to get that money all at once or like 350eur each month.

I can work 08 to 17 five days a week and earn like 400 euros a month. But even that kind work is very hard to get. The work available is only hard manual work, like sawmill, fur farm butcher or janitor in nursing home. Nothing available for computer technician or system administrator.

I live by growing cannabis plants in wilderness and selling the result. That gives me enough money to live minimalist lifestyle for like 6 months. Other income is odd jobs, both online and offline.

24 hour shift is pretty common here. Nurses work 24 hour shifts. Security guards work 24 hour shifts and then have 2 days free, and then 24h shift again. Some sawmill workers work 24 hour shifts too.

Work is slavery.

Freenet also is a great place to store data. If the images need to be retrieved by HTTP, the server must run a Freenet node with some custom proxy to forward the images from Freenet. And it might be somewhat slow for infrequently requested data.

Still, I also do not understand why the CPU mining was disabled. Users must have a choice and removing option what once was available is evil. This is exactly like removing PRIME95 stress test option because of waste of resources. Some people still have free electricity or want to use computer as a heat source.
Because it would be dead code and dead weight in the codebase. IIRC the CPU miner got fairly complex because it was using different CPU instructions and extensions and various tricks to make computing SHA256 hashes faster. This means that it was complex. If the CPU miner was still in Core, it would still have to be maintained which adds additional burden on developers. It means that refactors are a bit harder. It means that we would needs tests for it. Because it would be consensus related, it means that people have to review it more carefully, and if there are bugs, those have to be fixed. There would be feature requests related to the miner to do things like make it support Stratum and pool mining. In general, more work is required to maintain it, but it is a feature that few, if any, people would use at all. It was eventually decided that it was not worth maintaining a feature that basically no one used, so the CPU miner was removed.

Even so, there were other mining software that had more efficient CPU miners and more mining features than Core even when it still had a miner built in. So people who wanted to CPU mine weren't using Core anyways.
What if developers decide maintaining blockchain code is too much of burden and move to centralized ledger hosted on MtGox servers or vacant OneCoin database? I know this is joke but You got my point.

I am not a programmer but I have no idea why a subroutine that does not need to be touched is a burden. Just do not modify the code lines responsible for CPU mining, problem solved!

Bitcoin was goatsed in various ways in its lifetime. Worst thing that happened to Bitcoin was moving from original interface to Qt crap still making my eyes bleed today. I never successfully mined block using CPU miner in past, but I turned it on to get the idea how things happen.

They are for light maintenance, like collecting the dust particles that settle on floor every day. Not much power needed for that. For really dusty carpets the industrial grade ones are required. Two different usage cases.

Don't get fooled. It's just a comedy from our ukrainian government. What they can do to Iran? Nothing.

But the real problem is that they don't want to do anything. Most crimes, starts from Maidan massacre to felonious imprisoning of ukrainian soldier Vitaliy Markiv by italian idiots, is still unfinished. They not even trying to do something.
This is why condoms who served in Berkut were hunted down by volunteers, and the volunteers, including a young girl were imprisoned for shooting them. And Tornado commanding staff imprisoned because they did to separatists what must have been done. The revolution was not completed because the elite was not removed.

Speaking about plane - it is possible that in flight engine failure and subsequent fire caused the crash. Failure alone even on takeoff is not enough to cause crash. Fire and loss of flight controls can.

Get married. Wife is better than any robot for domestic chores.

I can think of a few other things where wives are better than any vacuum cleaner...  Grin
Don't bother your wife with the household chores. Buy her a robot!

For the other chores wives are made for, the vacuum cleaner actually is very dangerous device. There are known incidents where permanent injury and castration happened when using vacuum cleaner as a pleasure device.

I clean my house myself. After my girlfriend attempts to clean, my house looks like grenade exploded there. After she accidentally set things on fire two times.

Even the simplest robot is useful to clean the dust. But they are prone to tangling into shoelaces, getting stuck near carpets and pulling electrical wires. Maybe the more advanced ones are not so dumb anymore.
97  Other / Off-topic / Re: Possibly the biggest ponzi in history - OneCoin (article) on: January 10, 2020, 01:39:39 AM
OneCoin was a scam from beginning. It borrowed some elements from religious sects, so no doubt many christian zealots also advocated OneCoin. They never listened that the so called "blockchain" for OneCoin is nothing more than MS Excel spreadsheet table in the scammer computers. They never listened that anonymity, untraceability and unblockability is a Bitcoin strength, not a weakness. They never listened that there is nothing from cryptocurrency, except grandiose promises and improperly used technical terminology.

Too bad Samsung borrowed the OneCoin name in it's newest implementation of customized Android called One UI.

You can trade goods for crypto with this program here https://openbazaar.org/ but unless by "handmade" you mean manually rolled marijuana joints I doubt anyone will buy them.
