How do you force Electrum for Android to only connect to one server? I do not see the options for this version. Maybe it is in an older version and I might have to install that first, set the option, then upgrade to this version. I do not like the app to connect to more than 1 server.

For the desktop applications, you can edit the config file.


and it will only connect to one server of your choosing.

I'm not random, although I am a newbie, been around these parts since only last year. Not a "few" unless you meant less than one.

Not sure what is a huge coincidence to you. I am merely replying because you addressed me specifically. Again, no relation to "dev" or team. I don't know them. I don't know you.

Shitcoin implies garbage. This certainly is not one of those, although it is understandably very hard to distinguish since 99% of the more than 2000 coins I've seen have since gone to the graveyard. But failure of a coin does not mean it is shit.

No one said anything about store of value either, you just brought it up now. When I think about it, almost all coins or tokens have that as a property, although I wouldn't store some of them long term.

Ponzi ... well, ... I don't know. Maybe? Is it a ponzi if you are aware that it is? Is it really a form of fraud?

As for the final paragraph, I don't think you tried hard enough, but you certainly want to target individuals like me. Or maybe it wasn't as "private" as you make it look like. From what I can tell, there were questions, there were answers, someone didn't like the answers, so asked the same questions over and over, as if he'll get any different answer.

If you didn't like the answer, you could have left and stopped trolling. The team does not want your money. They don't want anyone's either. They did not accept any for the whole time I have been in this space it seems even while the dev was doing something in the previous project. They just like to build cool stuff.

It's good that you have concerns. I just hope you look past your own bias against this project and try to see what value can be derived from it, rather than attacking them after being out (on mainnet and out of fail safe) for only a week.

Again, you don't like something here, there are a couple thousand other threads you can spend your time on. Or forums. Instead you are here ... altruistically defending the wallets of people you don't know? Perhaps. Perhaps. I applaud you if so.

I'd really like to see what happens next. I'm in for the tech.

I've got to walk my dog now, while I still have a dog ...

I'm not Dev and have no connection to the team in any way. I merit the post of another person and you think I'm the Dev? Anyway ...

This project is all on-chain, so everything is there for everyone to see. The source code is there too, there was about a month of beta testing, and nothing is hidden. It's more transparent than most companies. I only compare so you can get an idea of the time delay. Everyone compares coins or tokens to the stock market even though maybe it shouldn't, that's just the way crypto is.

As for your math, I'm no good at it, but not everyone will want to buy FLUX to burn it, and everyone who sells it is so that someone else can burn it. It goes around. There will be more FLUX as time goes on, the market dictates the price. Eventually there will be an equilibrium reached. It started at zero or close to it.

No one is forced to buy anything, there was no ICO (and the previous coin where it swapped from also had no ICO.)

No rational investor for that matter would ever invest in any crypto as the whole category is high risk, from BTC to ETH all the way down to Z.

Have a nice day Mr. Potato!

The USDC values are available in real time on the dash board. Graphics are never updated unless you want some sort of ticker thing or a non stop movie. You should look at the date and time of the post. Stock quotes on many websites are usually delayed by at least 15 minutes too.

Yes somehow the prices have been affected as well. There is at least some correlation now. Still, it's good to have a little bitcoin as diversification of asset classes.

There is no sane reason for the price drop except that everyone else is capitulating. People have been asking for lower prices, now they have it. Time to buy.

Importing more than a few tens of thousands of addresses into a regular Bitcoin Core Qt wallet is going to make that wallet slow to a crawl.

I tried.

The desktop wallet is not designed to be used with that many addresses, you'll need to find another solution.

They're fun to go to to watch and maybe learn something, but mostly these types of events are more social and networking kind of things.

Mining crypto is not a "mandatory" activity. People do it because profits. They will tend to go with the most hash power for the least amount of electricity used, lowest cost, and possibly the greenest renewable type (if it also costs less).

Compared to fiat institutions that need large buildings, ... I'd say the carbon footprint of bitcoin (and all other crypto) mining is relatively smaller.

Usually they simply just don't have enough information or get the wrong information from unreliable sources. They don't understand something, but that doesn't make it a scam.

I ask them why. If they give a sorta long reasonable response, then I follow up what other information they know. Then I ask again why.

You can wing it from there and find out if they are just venting or ranting but not really interested in the technology.

As Satoshi put it "If you don't get it or don't believe it, I don't have time to try to convince you, I'm sorry."

It's easy for any government to covertly buy Bitcoin or any other coin for that matter. They already buy all sorts of things without the public knowing. They already operate black sites and fund black ops.

They can always just create an illegal entity, let that said entity buy coins, that they then seize and can auction off.

No one is late to the adoption. We have a good decade ahead of everyone else. Bitcoin is only 10 years old. It will be alive in another 10 years.

Best thing you can do now, is set aside a fixed dollar amount (or whatever fiat currency you have in your country), and buy every 2 weeks or every month. Just buy. Market buy. Buy order, it doesn't matter as long as it gets filled within the day.

Withdraw your bitcoins to your own wallet, where you control the private keys.

I keep my gold coins under the floor of my basement (see the movie, doh... )

Generic advice for newbies is to lurk, read a lot, get a feel for the forum. Even if you've done that before, before you actively post, maybe read a couple hours more. This applies to just about any other website or forum.

It has something to do with candles and chart time frames. If each candlestick represents a one minute period, then a 24 hour time diapason will have 1,440 candles.

It's a little bit more complicated than that.
