Cool project, but it's not exactly an ATM, but rather a bitcoin selling machine.  Which is still cool.  I think of an ATM as having the ability to exchange cash for BTC, and vise versa.


That would be a cool use case.  I wouldn't mind putting in my office at work, encouraging my cohorts to buy a few sats to get them interested.

As for the security of the device, there are a few things that can be done.  Like Accardo already mentioned, a small document safe as the main housing would be a decent idea.  Even more secure would be a safe with small slots cut into it that are aligned with the cash receptacles.  A heavy wooden cabinet could be built to house everything, and the weight of the safe and the wooden cabinet would reduce the risk that someone would could just pick up the unit and walk away with it.  Obviously the more secure you attempt to make it, the more expensive it becomes.

Congrats to your team starting the season off with a win.  That was actually a good game, and fun to watch...  Except for the part where the Niners lost.

I'm sorry, but this had me LOLing my ass off.

I remember our first season with Harbaugh as our coach, I was coming down the mountain, turned on the radio to check the scores, and couldn't believe my ears when I heard the Niners had spanked the Bucs.  It must have been a similar feeling after being used to sucking for so long.

That is some good scheduling work by the NFL.  Wilson against...  Hmmm, does Seattle even have a QB?  IDK!

Looks like the Giants pulled off a decent come back, here're the highlights:

Was a good game for both teams, I really like Daboll's call to go for two with a bit over a minute left in the game.  The risk paid off, and any time the opposing team misses a field goal as time runs out makes for an instant classic.

Below is an excerpt from the ReedMe file of version 0.1.2:


It's certainly not conclusive evidence that Umbrel was a bitcoin-centric OS even back then, and that's only the oldest release I found on github.  I only just started using Umberl a couple of weeks ago, so I have no personal experience with it's history or how it's evolved over the years.

It is interesting how they've recently spread out into a more generic "self-sovereign" OS by including apps like Nextcloud and media servers.

Honestly I've never had good luck running bitcoind and electrumx server on a RPi, not even version 4.  I blame myself; I've never cared for Raspian, and always run them with the latest version of Ubuntu server.  I've given away all my Raspberry Pis except for one version 4 that I use as a media server.

Currently I have a Dell SFF PC with an i5 processor, 16GB RAM, and a 1tb SSD on which I've installed Umbrel over Ubuntu Server 22.04.1.  Umbrel is running Bitcoind, Electrs, LND, Mempool, and Tailscale.  I also have Lightning Terminal and Ride the Lightning installed as well.  I've had this set up running for about two weeks now without any issues.

First week of fantasy football and almost everybody is disappointed in their performance.  Even the winners are disappointed.  And, I said almost everybody is disappointed.  I'll tell you who isn't disappointed; uncle nutildah.  Really, dude?  Saquon Barkley?  Who would have thought!  Be honest, are pre-draft performance-enhancing drugs involved?  Ayahuasca?

I recall learning that bisq uses the bitcoinj library not long ago.  You're correct; as of the most recent major release of bitcoinj they've implemented sending to segwit v1 addresses, but have yet to implement creation of taproot addresses.

Here's an excerpt from the bitcoinj V0.16.0 release notes:

However, it's still not possible to send to a taproot address from the Bisq wallet.  Here's what I get when I try:

Jackson is a media darling, and that's the only success he's be able to enjoy in his career.  His highlight reals are awesome, so he must be the best FF QB, right?  I wasn't at all surprised to see him ranked right under Allen in Yahoo's projections, despite being outscored by the likes of Ryan Tannehill and Kirk Cousins last year.  He's way over-rated as a QB, in my opinion.  I would have taken a second year rookie before picking Lamar.

Live bold, my friend!  I just took a look at the odds market, thinking about placing a bet, and I felt so lost, lol.  It's so difficult to make a prediction on the first game of the season, so many things can happen.

Anyway, you guys have a great weekend, enjoy the games, and best of luck to all of you with your fantasy teams.

It's closing weekend of B-Zone Archery, so I'm going to be out in the sticks, incommunicado.  I hope to be back in civilization in time to catch the Niner's game on Sunday morning, but that'll require a deer's cooperation.  Priorities, priorities...

For those of you who are using bisq, I'm sure you've already seen the update notice informing you of version 1.9.5 having been released about a week ago.  The new P2P connectivity GUI indicator is a pretty cool feature.  At least now when you're browsing through offers, and one times out you'll know if it's your connection or the other party.  I haven't had one time out since the new version, and since I have a couple of instances running from time to time, I've notice that if one instance is having connection issues, the offers from that instance will not be visible to others.  So, I figure the issue with timing out once taking an offer shouldn't be as big of an issue anymore.

Still no Taproot address compatibility, I guess it was wishful thinking to interpret "Prepare Bisq for bitcoin-core v23 compatibility" meant taproot implementation.

I read about this yesterday, and I must say I'm really disappointed in Trezor's management team for doing this.  There are other centralized coinjoin providers they could have implemented into Trezor Suite, but partnering with any centralized agency seems like a betrayal to their customers.  If someone would have asked me two days ago to wager on whether Trezor or Ledger was more likely to pull such a stunt, I would have bet the farm on Ledger...

I don't use Trezor suite myself, at least not for transacting with my bitcoin, and have very few alts to worry about.  The saving grace for Trezor suite has been that it's possible to assign your own SPV (Electrum) server, and it also allows you to use Tor for network connectivity.  So, even if you are using Trezor's SPV servers there're ways to at least obfuscate your IP address.  If one were to use Wasabi via Trezor Suite, all of these privacy features they've provided suddenly become meaningless.

I really would have expected more from Trezor, I'm literally heartbroken buy this news.

Any chance you can sign a message from this address that (he'hem) you posted in 2011?


You must know that the address currently contains 0.05BTC (~$950 at the moment.)

Do you have any collateral?

In case you're unaware, newbies don't get non-collateralized loans here.  Unless you have Bitcoin or some other alt-coin to offer as collateral, you are unlikely to get a loan, and more likely to get tagged as a scammer.

More can be learned about collateral suggestions here:

Another thing to note; unless your deal involves bitcoin this offer should be in the Alt-Coin marketplace, not here.

Good luck.

Match 13 winner Total Strikes: 35

You forgot to ask about any identifying tattoos or birthmarks, and the name of his first-born male child.   

Really, who the fuck do these people think they are?  After behaving this way for the last two or three years, one would think that the more rational DT members purge them from their inclusions.  It's like they've all gotten so drunk on power they have to intimidate and harass less prominent members to give their lives meaning.

I might place a bet just for fun, but I think I'll wait until the game is underway.  It's so hard to make accurate predictions for opening weekend, but it is fun.  As for whether the Ram or Bills are the better team, I would just say that the Rams aren't quite the same team that won the Super Bowl last year.  They do have some of their main talent back, but it's still left to be seen how well they do this year.  It's also worth noting that even though they won the super bowl last year, they lost twice to a Niners team that wasn't all that great either.  The Rams had a good run when it counted the most, that's for sure.

If you're putting together a tutorial for 2fa Electrum wallet, it might be prudent to mention the associated fees.  Also, it seems pointless to have 2fa if you're going to have both, the wallet and the 2fa secret on the same device.

Furthermore, if you were to set up 2fa as it should be set up; i.e. the wallet on one device and the 2fa secret on another; you might as well make a 2 of 2 multi-sig wallet, instead.  You are left in total control, no third key held by some other entity/person, you don't pay 2fa fees, and since you're the only one with any signing keys, your privacy is enhanced.

Well, that's a problem, in my opinion.  If you aren't confident enough to post an accusation from your main account, why post it from an alt?  I'm not suggesting you only post accusations from your main account, I value everyone's privacy and encourage people to use alts if they have a specific privacy need for one.  There are plenty of legitimate reasons to use alts, and exposing cheaters is a valid one.  But at least use the "would I post this from my main account" measuring stick to consider whether a post is worth publishing.

As LoyceV alluded to; countless threads about exposed bounty cheaters who are relegated to the armpit of the forum anyway, is pointless.  If they're spamming, report them to the bounty manager and the mods.  If there's a legitimate abuse of a forum rule or signature campaign, and you're confident in your findings, you shouldn't even feel the need to use an alt.  The example LoyceV provided is absolutely perfect.  Uncle nutildah didn't need an alt to expose the figmentofmyass farm.  That farm included DT1 members and popularity among other high ranking members of the forum.  There was a very real risk of retaliation against nutildah for what he was posting, but did that scare him into hiding behind an alt?  No, because he was 100% confident in the evidence he was presenting to the forum.


I posed the question rhetorically, I don't need or want any one to answer.  And I certainly don't want to call anyone out, as I'm not claiming innocence myself.  I posed the question to get us all think about the ways the forum has evolved over the last few years, and whether some of the changes are necessarily good just because they may appear that way on the surface.
