Wow so much trolling. I have the asshole and this new idiot both blocked now and the whole page just looks like

Does this mean we are about to see a big pump? Isn't that the way it has worked in the past?

I've never had a single problem from the software that I can remember and I've been here since 2014.

The trezor digitally signs the transaction on the device. You can not do this with just a usb drive. You would have to import the private key onto a machine like a computer that is not designed with this type of security in mind. The trezor has an extremely narrow interface which only recognizes a hand full of very specific and limited function calls.

As far as every electronic device can be broken. This is false. It sounds like something you would hear in a hollywood movie about hackers. Any given device probably has some sort of vulnerability but not necessarily.

Anyone have a better image than this for our new meme?

That's it. You're muted.

I've been using my trezor since right after release and it has held up really well with zero signs of wear of any kind. It even feels like a really high quality product when you hold it in your hand and manipulate it. So A+ from me.

*edit* I should mention though that I don't unplug and replug it from the usb port on the trezor. I leave a short usb cord attached at all times because I know how those ports tend to wear out on every device. So I can not attest to that particular aspect.

Zeronet! I love zeronet! https://zeronet.io/ If you decide to check it out hit me up. Just say its you in the thunderwave.bit chat. Maybe we can make some monero related stuff. Maybe a subredit on zerovoat or our own thunderwave clone for monero chat.

Seriously guys. Zeronet is so cool.

Sorry I know you weren't talking to me but please please please do not buy the GLD. The GLD is good for trading. If you think the price is going to go up in the next few weeks so you buy it and sell it when it goes up. Perfect for that use case. But the gold in the GLD is rehypothecated dozens if not hundreds of times. You don't want be one of the guys caught standing when the music stops. Go with a private custodial service that contracts storage with a reputable company like brinks and has regular audits. If you want to go even a step further you can arrange physical storage in such a manner that the company you are purchasing from doesn't even have access to it once it is placed in the vault and the company you are renting the vault from doesn't even know what the contents of the vault are. But I don't know if you need to go that far. Up to you. Just pointing out that you can go that far if you want that level of security.

A lower hash rate simply means confirmations are less secure. Worse case scenario, you can always wait for more confirmations to get back what ever level of security you are comfortable with.

It is still a pretty useful product even in its current state. Just not as a cred stick style cash substitute for face to face transactions (which makes a lot of sense as a goal). But its still a good way to store your bitcoin offline or give them as a gift or sell bitcoin in bulk at a shop.

While in the strictest possible sense this is technically true. I don't think the conclusions follow. There are charity initiatives that *almost* everyone supports unanimously. The best example I can come up with right now is helping the communities affected by these hurricanes.

Or "garythesmartguy".

Also. Isn't it nice that according to his own rules he has no right to respond to this. If he were to respond to it than he would be admitting that his last comment was moronic and if he doesn't respond to it than hes letting my snide remark slide with no consequence! What an amazing trap he has laid for himself.

Not sure how you reconcile these two posts. Did you really think 1-3% would burst my bubble? You seem disingenuous.

Ok fine. Not 0 transaction cost. But perhaps still much more reasonable than the price of a winning bid for space on a blockchain. So the greater point potentially remains valid.

What about community funded public (or even privately funded for profit) archival nodes that our clients could reach out to any time they encountered such "holes" or were assured by their operators that such "holes" surely must exist? I wont claim to have fully understood the whitepaper. But I like to think that I kind of understood the gist of it well enough. And it was always my interpretation that such a thing would be needed.

Also I had this impression that it may be helpful for people who are sending a transaction to also send with it a pedigree. (Sorry for such a niche word to someone who isn't a native English speaker but it really is the right word for the situation I think)

If I only had a couple of hundred dollars to invest I would personally be looking for substantially greater risk assets with greater upside. But that's just me. I would hit the pavement and get to reading new whitepapers. Lots of new whitepapers. As many as I could get my hands on.

You can run the wallet daemon off of any full node. You don't have to run it off of your own personal node if you dont want to. It was always made to be "similar to Electrum" since the beginning.

I'm talking about a grander scope and you are drilling down on one specific implementation of the idea by one specific firm. Kind of going in the opposite direction of what I had in mind there.

I think this is hinting at something much deeper here. Something far more profound. Yea yea monetizing websites without add blocker. Don't get me wrong that is cool. But did he just say practical micro-payments!? By doing proof of work for the benefit of someone else you can send small amounts of value to anyone you want for any reason you want for ~0 transaction cost. The scope of this surely must be greater than the article alludes to.
