Can Trezor-Suite be directed to be connected only to a local (or specified) bitcoin (core) full node?

Trezor seems quite intent on keeping connections back to the mothership locked down ... if you know what I mean.

Apparently you can (funny that I read the tweet about this today), but you have to install Blockbook first*:

https://github.com/trezor/blockbook

https://twitter.com/pavolrusnak/status/1326552425411485707?s=20 (source*)


... doesn't seem like Blockbook is easily connected to Bitcoin Core full node. You have to install the trezor back-end full node as well and have that connect to the Bitcoin Core full node ... so need to run two full nodes to support one wallet locally ...ok, nah.

Edit: ooops, may have spoke too soon. I found this issue on github https://github.com/trezor/trezor-suite/issues/2737 ... seems like Bitcoin Full Node will be connecting to a Full Node is on the road map.

Well done with the Tor support upgrade in Trezor Suite ... not sure about node.js as language choice.

USA has 330,000,000 people about 200,000,000 are old enough to vote.

https://www.highiqpro.com/iq-tests/what-does-my-iq-score-mean has the chart below




14% are at 70 to 85  
34% are at 85 to 100

translation 48% are below average or 48% or 200 million =  96 million old enough to vote and affect America elections.

So if passing an iq test was used and 100 was the pass we would reduce 200mill -96mill =104 million can vote.


Quote
If people with a IQ under 100 weren't allowed to vote there wouldn't be any Dem. votes. That would be no fun.

~ 70 million voted for Trump, that's 70 million people with guns who don't believe the Intl Commie elite Deep State psyop, psycho-babble, propaganda bullshit

...

PEOBLEM IS I AM NOT A BIG BIDEN FAN.


Well if the Mickey Mouse write-in votes took it, it woulda still been an improvement, so there is that....

Ok, I'm done discussing politics.
I got more important things on my agenda... I gotta clean up cat puke and sift their shitter box...

..... he isn't the president elect. He hasn't been certified the winner of any states yet. And since you're bringing up Al Gore, remember that the media prematurely declared him president elect in 2000 as well.

Dude, I get it. Your guy didn't win. I, and the majority of the voters, were there 4 years ago and I/we know it hurts.
But being in (what looks like) denial about it does not help the process of moving on.
Yes, you are right, the media ended up getting it wrong in 2000 , though they missed the mark by an infinitesimally small amount. (less than a thousand votes)
"Once bitten, twice shy" as the saying goes. It's why they didn't call it yesterday.

... seems like you are quite the Deep State propped-up corpse shill.

... nothing's official until Dec. 14 when the electoral college convenes, until then if you think winning margins inside the voting count error bars in 3-5 "swing states" is "victory, go for it, but not sure you can accuse others of being delusional/in-denial

... until then recounts are happening, voting fraud investigations are happening,

... MSM are lying whore cunts out to serve the elites and deep state, fubar situation normal

... I'd say we are only in the 2nd innings, so suck it up if you can't handle people questioning your slick 'n sleasy narrative

It appears the mind-steering apparatus moves faster then you thought.

.... now that would really be some 3D chess level thinking ... also a kind of very American way to end the whole saga with lots of bad guys getting rounded up and carted off in paddy wagons ... security ink stamped voting ballots hashed into the blockchain could do what he is talking about

This clip of AG Barr talking about voting fraud back in Sept. and mail-in ballot vulnerabilites sounds to me like he is warning people, "you are playing with fire" (do you feel lucky punk, make my day) .... maybe they really have laid out the largest piece of cheese (election power grab) to catch the biggest swamp rats in the act?!?

Does he not realize that counting ballots actually takes time?

... I've always wondered why in all the democratic world it is only Democrat inner-city US counties that take forever to count their vote?

... they have more people so should be able to count faster ... or? are they stupider? why do they always delay their vote count? do you not find that strange?

... there's two types of inflation, the usual asset price and product price inflation due to monetary expansion, currency holders grumble but put up with the hidden tax
... and the far more devastating "loss of confidence in the currency" inflation -> hyperinflation, currency holders begin to exit, when holders of the currency begin exiting the remaining holders have to take the hit of all the accumulated inflation that was just dumped by the exiters

as unbelievable as it sounds the US$ is definitely starting to feel some of the effects of the latter. Microstrategy is putting reserves into BTC precisely for these stated reasons, and they are the in the vanguard.

Hyperbitcoinisation is now becoming a distinct possibility.

I am a bit upset that gold is spiking too.
What does this portend to?
I cannot imagine a scenario where gold, stocks and bitcoin go up simultaneously, apart from high inflation.
Yet, with the virus we are clearly in a somewhat deflationary situation right now.
Puzzling, but GO btc!


The monetary base is expanding far beyond GDP usage so we have an economy with inflation likely to register but the actual event is deflationary in value terms.   Then you have case for Bitcoin use itself both as an asset held, transactions globally and speculative trades and all of that is up recently I presume.

Gold is just retracing its previous pricing, it was never going to fall below 1750 from what I could see as its been trading down for most of the last ten years it has entered recovery and is gaining year to year in a way thats seperate to BTC growth.   If gold gains past its prices of September its probably doing something new then.

Inverse to that Dollar index was at a range high its had for months and its now flipped to near to the bottom of that range, nothing new happening there for now.   Its now about mid way in the 2017 Dollar fall peak to trough.

I hope you're right and I'm wrong. I haven't made a huge research about the price. I just don't want to happen what happened back in 2017. Try convincing people to believe in bitcoin after that.

2017 was substantially different to whats occuring now, we're a different place in the election cycle and lots of other reasons developing far beyond just repetition. “The past does not repeat itself, but it rhymes.”

I wonder how they got the key if they didn't get it at the time of the bust.

Coindesk article says the BTC was originally stolen from Silk Road by an unnamed hacker who handed over his keys to the authorities on Tuesday (presumably as part of some plea bargain?)

... quite likely the "unnamed hacker" will be one of the many federal agents working undercover on Silk Road who went rogue.

... there was so much malfeasance, agency illegalities and double-crossing going on there that most of the investigation evidence was inadmissible, except the corrupt Judge who was trying Ullbricht never allowed the full story of the rogue agents to see the light of day or the government case would have collapsed

... essentially they've probably just given it time to cool off and then handed the loot over to the biggest crooks in town
792  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: November 04, 2020, 06:47:57 PM

I don't know how a "first world" country like the USA can fuck up a major election ballot count this badly.

It's unbelievably depressing.

... it's pretty simple, the Democrats always oppose tighter, more fraud-proof voting systems and introduce looser systems (mail-in voting, early-voting, late-voting, absentee voting, ID-free voting) that messes up any hope of swift, accountable vote count results ... then they can easily mess with the count in tight races when everyone is asleep to find just the right amount of votes to swing it for their guy

... it's been like this in the US for as long as I have watched, apparently since the 60's too


edit: after the huge Bush-Gore shit-fight in Florida in 2000 they actually fixed their broken counting system and now have a quick count on the night, as it should be ...

... I see some tail risk from the election result if Trump wins.

... it's possible the establishment's plan upon a resounding loss to Trump is to pull the pin on the financial system, which is shaky and doesn't need much to push it over.

... they have thrown every dirty trick at him from illegal investigations to Impeachment on charges to cover up their candidates financial crimes, some will be facing treason, sedition or illegal spying charges iff Trump wins so the stakes are high

... he is too much of a threat to their plans for a New World Order, the virus is also part of that plan I'm becoming convinced it was an intentional release by the Chinese as part of the global commie Great Reset plan, and it was released at a time to cause maximum damage to possibility of Trump reelection (also got rid of Bernie Sanders and shitty old insider Biden into the Dem candidacy)

... I have no idea how a massive financial crash and lock up of the banking system affects bitcoin, probably negatively at first, but it may equally immediately go nutz too.

Saylor actually goes into quite a lot of detail on this topic in the stream he just did with Dan Held -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPYt_Z9lYlM

Key takeaway is that he feels his evangelism is the best way he can boost the value of Bitcoin as a network - rather than putting money into mining or creating Bitcoin related businesses, he can inject value directly into the ecosystem by being a pioneer and a damn vocal one at that. Use whatever resources you have to build up the network and ecosystem, for some people that's leveraging cheap utility costs and creating mining farms, others that it is offering custody solutions or ETFs, etc etc. He doesn't see himself as being able to do these things better than others, so he sticks with what he has the most efficiency at doing - a vocal shout of "HODL!" to lead the way for those who don't have the platform to express it themselves.

I've probably summed it up badly, but that's the general gist of it!

Good find and your summary is about right. Also confirms what I was supposing about his strategy, (more macro than micro  Wink  ) ...

... for all the hype about paypal (it's a big nothing-burger), the Microstrategy move is orders of magnitude more important, quantifiably more significant (poor people don't have money to move around, bitcoin adoption comes about through money not users, etc, etc)).

Not just that Saylor is running point and giving money-managers, corporate treasurers, hedge-funds, etc the template he's also providing vocal cover and expounding a logical basis (long term yield vs. risk) for how to escape the fed's gilded cage of 0.5% (soon going negative) yield in extreme risk assets ... he specifically says he's not going to be buying old-man buffet's junk  Grin Grin

To confirm this also WSJ is running hit-piece today against Saylor's move, likely to try and throw shade so as to discourage other renegades from escaping the fiat asylum that he now is blazing a trail for real money to flow into bitcoin  ...

Go Saylor, Go bitcoin.

WSJ trashing Saylor bitcoin move

... Hunter Biden OD?  Shocked Shocked

... anyone else hearing that?

No.

Where on earth did you get that idea from?

https://mericanow.com/2020/10/26/is-hunter-biden-dead-from-a-drug-overdose/

... here's one but it's like an alternate reality now with Google/Twitter/FB being under ChiCom control under Biden gets elected ... searches are blocked/filtered, posts disappear, etcc ... it's lies, lies, lies and like we've all suddenly started living beyond the fucking Great communist firewall

so under Biden there will be only lies and deception but under Trump truth will prevail?


... who knows but it looks like several US intelligence agencies have gone rogue to stop themselves getting prosecuted for high crimes (e.g. treason) and Biden is their guy ... so anything goes now I guess, and the corrupt chinese commies are all too willing to step into such a shit-fight ... Sun Tzu wrote the book on this type of warfare.
