It's not a big worry at the moment. Transaction fee rates still drop to even below 10 sats/vbyte if you are not in a hurry. Guess we will wait and see what happens in a bull market, but I think these NFTs will die a natural death once people realize that they are useless as ICOs, STOs, IDOs, IEOs were.
It's just a matter of time.
Exactly. Fees have spiked before, and have always come down. When the NFT insanity hit ETH it was the same story. People are spending a fortune on them now so adding a bunch of money to the price for TX fees is really not a big deal. Eventually the idiots who get their financial advice from Twitter / YouTube / Reddit / and so on will go off to the next thing and tx fess will drop back to normal. As has been said a few posts up and many times over the last few weeks. If you are not in a rush, just set a 10 sat / VB and it will probably go through in 24 to 28 hours. -Dave |

Went to go take a look, poked around and got the 'you are coming from a restricted IP' message. And then went to other sites, in other tabs, to do other things.
Left that tab open in FireFox and after a few minutes it was using a stupid high amount of CPU and my laptop fan was on full. Closed that tab and all was good.
Anyone else seeing it? Since I can't use it I'm not going to dig into it, but I have replicated it.
Could be them or it could be one of my browser extensions.

Click on the github link you gave, click on his personal website, https://russ.yanofsky.org/ that is listed there and the SSL is expired. Which if you ignore leads to a really old school website that has not been updated in 15+ years. Dave's grumpy old man attitude. And beginning with I have a lot of things out there that are just as bad, if not worse.BUT come on, clean it up a bit if you want to work on maintaining for code something like core where you are going to be responsible for peoples funds. Other then that since I have casually been following he seems good. I just never looked at more till now. -Dave |

Probably would just be easier to
1) Leave them some negative feedback and encourage others to do the same.
2) Start a flag and encourage others to support it.
3) Add them to your ignore list
4) ~ in your trust list.
And then move on. Is it 100% proper use of flags and feedback. Perhaps not, but who cares. They are here to troll / scam and after a while the person(s) who have been actively cluttering up the lending board will move on. If not, they are just wasting time but at least not cluttering up the board elsewhere.

It's not like the rate hike was not known and discussed for days, perhaps weeks now. If the .25 rise had NOT happened I can really see the markets reacting. But this more then likely was already factored into the price of BTC and the stock market and other financial markets as well.
At this point I unless everyone is expecting X and then Y happens I don't see anything the FED or other central banks do causing shock-waves in terms of any market. It's discussed on the internet and TV and just about everywhere else for a long time before it really happens.

I'm with the I never heard of any of these group of people.
Has anyone had ANY experience with them be it good or bad?
Since the Ukrainian police were mentioned I can only assume that they were operating out of that part of the world.

Posted someplace else here a while ago: Followed by my comment of this is about the same: This is going to long and messy. There is so much fraud and so many things intertwined that you have to start to wonder if it would just be easier to take everything from everyplace that was involved and just liquidate it all and give back whatever you get to the people who it's owed to. The 'take off and nuke it from orbit' theory. Yes, you might get $2 billion more going through everything line by line but if it takes 4 years and $3 billion to do it did you really accomplish anything? -Dave

Are you sure you have downloaded the wallet from https://electrum.org and Verify GPG signatures, such strange errors could be from scam phishing versions. Why do you describe fees as gas? The term gas is used in Ethereum. It's a known bug involving the android mobile app and 2FA enabled wallet and has been reported over 101 time on their GitHubThe Developers have already worked on the issue and the next update will have the bug fixed. And now 102.... Makes you wonder how a show stopper like that made it into the release. I saw some separate comments someplace else (reddit? Don't remember) that it can be duplicated without 2fa. Not sure was not paying that much attention. -Dave |

In theory it should not matter how compromised anything is. It should not matter.
No matter what you do on ledger (or any hardware device) there should be no way for your seed to ever leave the device.
It would require a fuck up of epic proportions to have a firmware or any device in general that allowed that to happen.
Since we have not heard about it happening I would not worry about it. Because if it did happen you know people would be screaming about it.

Unless something changes the larger threat will still continue to be getting Yogged.
20 or 30 years from now on the slight chance that it can be broken the collectable itself should still be worth more then the coin on it.
I will say flat out that I trust the maker of every loaded collectable that I have.
Also, have to say that I have been slowly selling off any that have more then BTC 0.001 because I really just don't want to deal with any issues that may come up years and years from now.
But, that's just me.

1) You should not do this unless you have enough free space (over 500GB)
2) Unless you have one of the faster chromebooks it's going to be miserably slow.
3) Which Chromebook do you have? You downloaded the x86_64 version. Some chromebooks are not x86 based.

Although I agree with the sentiment, I really think we should be pushing more of a 'you do you' kind of thing.
Possibly you want to hold, I want to trade, and that other person over there wants to get BTC so he can buy stuff.
We should be helping people do what they want with no preconceived notions.
Yes, we can point out the good / bad / ugly of what they may or may not want to do. But beyond that, it's their coin. Do with it as they want.

Try:
lightning-cli --testnet listconfigs
somewhere in there should be max blocks locktime or something like that. In the past that seemed to be the default also if you did not specify. As I said, it's been a couple of years.
You might get better / quicker responses asking the C-lightning discord and github there here.

...The issue comes when I disconnect the victim node before attacking, so he cannot respond and the attacker should be able to take the funds after a defined amount of time (num of blocks specific in the script). I mined like 500 blocks and I still unable to take the funds....
On mobile so I can't check deeply but, what time lock did you have set when you created the channel? 500 blocks is 3 1/2 days give or take. IIRC the default time for the HTLC setup in c-lightning is in the range of weeks not days. Could be wrong on that but no matter what you do it may just be sitting there waiting. It's been a while, like a couple of years, since I played around with doing things like this but I do vaguely remember the default time being high. -Dave |

Where are you based? WebMoney is based out of Russia so if you are in a country that is imposing sanctions against them you really cannot use it.
Also, even before the sanctions a lot of banks would not let you link your account to them.
Much like PayPal if someone is sending to you it is reversible.
Have not heard much about them lately, but I have not been looking either.

Can you? Yes.
Should you? No.
This means you will be running the OS and BTC and have the blockchain all on the same SD card which is already not the fastest I/O thing out there.
It's going to kill performance. Just get an external USB drive.
If you look at the Umbrel / raspiblitz / mynode setups they all keep as little as possible on the SD card and put everything on something that is attached to USB.

The sad thing is that with a device like this: https://shop.hak5.org/products/key-crocAnyone can plug it into your USB port and monitor everything you do and unless you saw it you would never know. Yet again why a separate hardware wallet is the only way to go for real amounts of crypto. -Dave |

If you are going to do something like this you really can't go out and start spending all that money and showing off.
Go out to nicer restaurants, fine. Drop $25000 in a club, not fine.
Get the fully loaded Honda Accord instead of a low end one, fine. Get a 7 series BMW, not fine.
Take a vacation and fly business class instead of coach and stay in a slightly nicer hotel fine. Charter a jet and rent a private villa for 3 weeks, not fine.
And so on.
It's not like he was not being watched because of his brother.
You can't fix stupid....

Since my miners are spread far and wide I just rely on the pools to email me when one drops off.
Probably not the best way, by all my miners are old and paid for and the power is a fixed cost to a certain point so it's all profit.
Back in the day it was different but now, it's more of a good enough so long as most are OK theory. If one of my S9 is down for a full day it's only going to be $1 in lost profit. The L3+ units only generate about $1.25 a day.
Not worth stressing about.
-Dave
Yeah I would prefer to have five or ten miners a dirt cheap power and left them run til they die. I have more gear than I want to work with. A long ride to check on the gear when it goes down. It was manageable until Covid hit.. Wife has some permanent lung damage we still do not know if it will slowly get worse or become stable. My diabetes is just a bit out of control. And my bro-in-law is suffering from dementia. Lives 💯 maybe 125 kilometers 75 miles. So those three real world things are very likely to force me out of active mining ⛏️ It would be nice to be 33 and just have a single s19. Ouch, that is a lot of stuff to have going on. I would pass on the s19 and just take being 33 again. Hurt my knee a couple of weeks ago and I'm still limping.... I know this might be blasphemy but can you cut down on the hardware and shrink the farm(s) a bit so it's less stress / work? No point in killing yourself for it, if you can't enjoy it. If you don't need the money so long as you are not loosing money less stress is good. -Dave |
