Yes, the chainstate and the blocks directories will transfer from one node to another.  However, you'll still need to synchronize the new install on computer2, and if you're using a HDD, that will be slow anyway.  Once upon a time I tried to install core on an RPi with a HDD plugged into one of the USB ports.  IIRC it took over three weeks to synchronize, and that was with another local node specified by addnode, so download speeds weren't an issue.  Also, if I recall the blockchain was around 360GB at the time, quite a bit less than it is right now.

Another action that can lead impatience with a slow HDD is importing addresses.  Read speeds on HDDs are faster than wright speeds, so it's less of an issue, but it's still noticeably slower than a node running on a SSD.

This is an unfortunate event not only for Tua, but for the NFL as a whole.

I don't give a shit if the kid ever plays football again.  There are far more important things in life, like being coherent enough to watch your children grow up, and teach them how to ride a bike.  If it turns out that the Dolphins knew of a head injury from Sunday's game, and then let him start on Thursday, heads (and a lot dollars) will roll.  I have no patience or tolerance for those who'll put productivity above human safety.  Nothing else matters.  Even if it turns out that the stumbling last Sunday was a result of a back injury, that is a dereliction of duty by the coaching staff.

We've all been injured before, and we all know of how an injury can cause us to change our mechanics when doing the simplest things.  Washing dishes can exacerbate a back injury, let alone being body slammed.

Unfortunately the culture of football also ingrains into the young men that injuries are a part of the game, and if you can't play through your injuries you're not tough enough.  This needs to change.  The other thing that needs to change is defenses specifically targeting injuries when tackling another player.  We saw this last Thursday night when Herbert was playing with sore ribs.  We even saw it a few plays before Tupou body-slammed Tua.  Tupou went for Tua's ankle, again targeting a specific area he knew was causing Tua trouble.  That's just bullshit and shouldn't be tolerated.  Defensive players who do that should be ejected from games, and possibly banned from the league.

Unfortunately these types of discussions have happened regularly for decades that I can remember.  I remember similar discussions when Joe Montana was suffering from back injuries when he still played for the Niners in the late 80's.  Whenever something tragic happens the topic is high on everyone's radar, but a few months later it's forgotten about.  I know the league has been making changes over time to combat injuries, specifically head injuries, but these changes seem to come slowly, if at all.

This is probably the OP's last ditch effort to earn a single merit.  He is under the impression that only people who've earned merit will be given non-collateralized loans, which he's been desperately trying to obtain for about six months now.  This guy is nothing but a common troll, trying to scam pennies to compensate for the shitty accounts he was suckered into buying.

If you're using Windows you should be able to start Electrum, go to the playground site, click on the link labeled "LNURL-pay," and the invoice will populate the "Send" tab in Electrum client.  This assumes that your OS is set to associate the Electrum client with links that start with bitcoin: or lightning:.

Instead of left-clicking on the link in the Playground site, you can right-click, copy link address, then paste that into the "Pay To" field on the "Send" tab in the Electrum client.  This will need to be done if your OS doesn't have any client software associated with bitcoin links.

ETA; The automated functions will only work if you've installed Electrum using the electrum-4.3.2-setup.exe, not the stand-alone version.

You won't find the link in the Electrum UI, the link I was referring to is displayed on the playground site that I provided a link to: https://lnurl.fiatjaf.com/

That site produces a variety of LNURL links, one of them is labeled "LNURL-pay."  It's just a way to test if the links can be used with your wallet.

I'm still running 4.3.1, but it seems to be working fine for me.  Are you sure you're entering the correct url?  I haven't used LNURL-pay myself, but here's a link to a "playground": https://lnurl.fiatjaf.com/

Once Electrum is up and running, clicking on LNURL-pay link populates the data in the Send tab in Electrum.  Then I just need to click on "Get Invoice" button and it loads the transaction and prepares it for signing.

Glad it worked out for you.  As Charles-Tim mentioned, Electrum can only handle 100kb per transaction.  If memory serves me correctly, that amount to about 500 inputs.  If you're collecting one transaction per day, you should be able to consolidate a year's worth of inputs without issue, so it may behoove you to establish a specific date that you'll consolidate all your inputs annually.  That'll prevent you from having to go through this again in the future.

Don't forget to start a kicker!  Deja Vu?

ETA:  That was an ugly hit on Tua, he looked like he was in agony.  Man, I hope the kid is okay, he didn't give a thumbs up while they were carting him out.  That's never a good sign.  He already had a back injury, that body slam could have some lingering and severe consequences.

Oh, I see.  Yes, that would actually be very helpful and much appreciated.  I would trust an ISO provided by you, but only in a locked up VM    Lol, just kidding.  You've developed an honorable reputation here, and I wouldn't hesitate to play around with a binary furnished by you.  I do trust that you know what you're doing, so your skill level wouldn't be an issue at all.

I agree it's always best for one to learn how to ensure his own safety, security, and privacy.  Being able to compile binaries straight off the trunk is a good way to verify the checksums of various apps that are developed by folks for whom I have yet to develop trust.  I don't bother with Electrum or Core, but somethings are just worth the extra care.

Lol, now that you mention it I was aware of that simulator.  In fact I played with the Mk3 version about a year and half ago.  They say the memory is the first thing to go...


Thanks for the offer!  I may take you up on it, but usually I prefer to compile these types of things myself.  I learned how to compile binaries from source back when Electrum was implementing Lightning, and I didn't have the patience to wait until they released the new version.  I won't say I'm anywhere near an expert on it, but I don't mind fumbling around until I figure it out.

As for distros, I still prefer Ubuntu Minimal for Desktop environments, but lately I've been partial to Debian for my servers.

The funds that have been collected to date are still in the multi-sig wallet controlled by me and the other two original escrow agents.  Once a new escrow team is established, the funds will be transferred to the new wallet crated by the new team.  None of my private keys will be shared with anyone.

I am one of the escrow team members that decided to step down.  The decision is based on personal reasons which I do not care to discuss here.  Anyone is welcome to PM me at any time for any reason.  Depending on who you are, if you PM me to ask about my reasons for backing down from the CC escrow team I may oblige you, or I may tell you to mind your own business.  Rest assured the reasons behind my decision have nothing to do with the project scope, the other team members, or my perception of the projects ability to succeed.

Actually, I'm waiting for your review before I order one. 

That's super cool, don't recall any other hardware wallet vendors providing a simulator before.  I'll have to fire up a VM and play around with it sometime soon.  I actually have a lot of IT work to do in the next few weeks to make sure I can access all my servers while traveling oversees, so I'm not sure when I'll get around to it.  I might just get to set it up so I have something to play with on long flight.

Lol, don't ask and ye shall receive anyway.

Watching the game with Payton and Eli is funny, they make it hard not to root for the Giants.  Even if it's mostly rooting against the Cowboys.

That offensive pass interference penalty that drove the Giants back to 3rd and 23 was BS.

It might make things harder on scammers, but if they're determined enough that's just a small obstacle.  Many malicious wallets aren't even that sophisticated, and in large part they don't need to be.  In some cases they only need to look like the original, and obviously the code is going to differ somewhat for the scam to occur.

On the other hand, of course, is the trust issue:  How do we know that a rogue employee doesn't imbed some malicious code into Binance's wallet?  Without being open-source, verifiable, and reproduceable by the general public something like that may months before it's caught.

Open source is especially critical in the crypto world, where we are expected to operate without the need to trust anyone.

That was pretty bad, and didn't look like a back injury to me either.  Post game announcers said that one of the coaches thought it was a head injury, but then they let him go back onto the field.  I also heard that the NFL will be investigating the incident, so I'm sure we'll learn more in the following few days.  I would venture to guess that Tua won't be in the line up this coming weekend.  If I'm guessing right that it's a head injury, protocol will keep him sidelined for at least a week.

That is surprising stuff, I doubt anyone would have guessed that Miami would be the only undefeated AFC team going into week 4, or that the only undefeated teams in the NFC would both be from Eastern division.  I don't see the Cowboys winning tonight's game, so I'm expecting (and rooting for) the Giants to continue their streak.  It's always nice to see games being so unpredictable, it makes for a much more competitive and fun season.  The worst thing is when a team just runs away with it.  Unless that team is the 9ers, of course.  That wouldn't be bad.  

If you're looking to avoid KYC Bisq is a good choice.  The only issue you're likely to face with Bisq is that all trades must include BTC, so you'll have to trade your USDC for bitcoin, then sell the bitcoin for cash.  In the US you can trade bitcoin for Zelle, which is fairly safe from charge-backs.  Since Bisq requires trade deposits, it tends to deter scammers anyway, so the risk is pretty minor.  It can also facilitate face to face transactions that are pretty safe, again due to the way bisq sends the funds to a 2 of 2 multi-sig wallet.  You can also facilitate selling bitcoin for US Postal Money Orders or Cash by Mail.

As much as I hate to lose, I agree this a good start to the season.  It's great to have this kind of parity so early, it make it clear we'll all be competitive well into the latter part of the season.  

Congrats to South Park and Hueristic on your first wins of the season.  Wishing you each about 4 or 5 more, but that's it!

It was a horrible weekend for me, with my sucky fantasy team, and even more sucky Niners.  Talk about safeties, how do you step out of the back of the endzone, then throw an interception?  God damn, I hate it when Garoppolo gets jumpy in the 4th quarter.  It's gotten to the point that whenever we go into the 4th with a lead, I just expect shit to collapse.

ETA: how the hell do I find the waiver order for this week?

I'm wondering how many of these recent lending board trolls are alts one person.

None of them have posted serious requests, but they've posted quite a lot.  Some might be a bit more subtle than this request, but they're all simply trolling the lending board.  It wouldn't surprise me if this is an older member that was slighted by one or more of the lending board regulars.

It looks like you got yourself another kicker, but you left him on the bench.  You're kicker slot is empty right now...
