That's interesting! So you're telling us it's just a coincidence that both of you logged in "a few minutes apart from each other", after being away for a very long time?

I'm a big fan of the "quicktakes" that you've been posting recently, but having said that, I'd prefer to see an in-depth version of them as well ^{[it'll drive more traffic to your website]}.
^{- It doesn't necessarily have to be like the "statistics" part... A hover effect with more information would suffice.}

LoyceV's comment reminded me of something that would defeat the purpose of printing the jig part: Clamps ^{[it'd require covering 1/3rd of the washers]}

• Off the top of my head, I can only name a few out of the hundred clamp types, so I'd suggest using a "G-clamp" or an "in-line clamp" for holding the washers in place ^{[if you have one]}.
  ^{Note: There might be better clamp types than the ones I've mentioned above.}
  
  • If you don't have or can't find one, you can 3D print them as well ^{[e.g. G-Clamp fully printable]}.

Out of curiosity, do you have a CNC machine ^{[apart from the 3D printer]}?
^{- If you do, then just use its clamps.}

I have no idea how exactly those limits are imposed, but it seems that it's not just tied to each individual ^{[each of the browser's sessions, led to a different result (tested in Chrome, Tor, Firefox, Opera, and Edge)]}.

It's worth noting that I experienced more crashes while it was "zoomed in".
^{- Perhaps it's hitting some of the limits in your current hosting plan [apart from the API limits].}

I noticed that the "X" button, doesn't work.

Despite all of the above issues, I really enjoyed using it <sup>[when it's working smoothly]

Perhaps he had no other choice but to accept it, so those so-called supporters would finally stop annoying him on Twitter:

  The post has left Dogecoin supporters excited, after they kept tweeting to Aron asking him to start accepting Dogecoin payments.

I was "wrong" in thinking that they'd come up with their own payment gateway ^{[a bit disappointed]}!

In other words, they're not offering something new:

• Bitrefill
• Coinsbee ^{[out of stock]}

Even with low sales, I don't think they'd remove something that requires little to no maintenance from their side ^{[I could be wrong]}.

While I was searching for the first one on the list ^{[without a price]}, I stumbled upon an old GitHub link that said Trezor had one ^{["STM32F205VET6"]}!
^{- AFAICR, Trezor never released a model with a secure element [despite creating one for testing purposes], so I'm assuming that the information on that link is inaccurate. Am I right [I had no luck in verifying it]?}

Update:
So that's why I couldn't find anything... Thank you for the explanation part.

I feel sorry for those miners that had to relocate their operations for the second time in a year or two!
^{- I wouldn't be surprised to see more migrations in the future [either because of the constant changes in rules and regulations or other indirect stuff].}

Exactly! I stressed that point in another thread before... It doesn't matter if it's going to be the US or another country!

I wonder what could the US possibly offer, that other countries can't at the moment?

You have a point and probably correct as well but regardless of that, if most of the registrars cared a little, none of these scams would've existed for this long ^{[I have a feeling I'm not the only one with a lot of ignored reports/tickets]}!

Sorry for assuming that might be the case ^{[my bad]}

Unfortunately, it'll get bigger and bigger without any "other" effort from their side ^{[thanks to aggregators]}...

• Both of the above fake platforms already have content in a lot of aggregators and while I was scrolling through some of them, one of them in particular, caught my attention:
  
  • I had no idea "Yahoo" became a news aggregator ^[SMH]:
    
    • New Generation of Cryptocurrency Miners Released by AsicWay
    • AW Pro Miner Brings New Era in Cryptocurrency Mining - AsicWay

May mga risk pa rin kahit nakasulat or nakaprint ang mga seed phrases, dahil pwedeng mawala o lumabo yung ink in the long run at higit pa dun, walang protection against tubig o sunog!
^{- Para sa akin, ito pa rin ang "pinaka mura at best na paraan".}

Their "AW 2 ^[archived]" is also photoshopped from one of the S19 variants: Link ^[archived]

While I was looking for plagiarized content ^{[there's lots of them]}, I noticed a lot of similarities with another familiar ^{[to you]} scam platform: ASICline.com ^{[archived]

May point ka pero nandyan parin ang possibility na magkaroon ng mga short dips ^{[dahil sa FUD and etc...]} within that period, kaya sa tingin ko di pa tayo aabot sa $100k this year ^{[sana mali ako]}!

Halos ganyan din ang "prediction ko noong June ^[$84k]".

Unfortunately, konte lang magiging impact nila sa BTCitcoin ^[indirect]!

I preferred that one as well, but I keep getting inconsistent results ^{[not sure why]} with zero inbound connections:

• Bitnode = Unreachable
• Other port checking websites = Open/success

Yes, there's no issue with doing those at the same time: Screenshot

I'll lock the thread in 24 hrs.

/locked

Judging by the comments, it seems I'm the third person that didn't know anything about him ^{[prior to the creation of this thread]}, and based on what I've read ^{[aoluain's thread and a couple of other articles from the internet]}, he doesn't deserve all these attentions.
^{- Can someone explain to me the difference between him and other known clowns [e.g. cough...E...cough...M], apart from their background/field?}

I tried my best to find a video or full transcript of the event, but had no luck other than the following quotes:
^{- Despite reading only a few related articles, I still noticed the repetitive comments [e.g. opening line]!}

• Quote from: https://www.thenationalnews.com/business/money/2021/10/13/cryptocurrencies-are-too-volatile-to-be-called-a-currency-nouriel-roubini-says/
  Cryptocurrencies are not a unit of account and calling them currencies is a “misnomer”, top economist Nouriel Roubini has said,
  ~Snipped~
  “Cryptocurrencies may have an asset value but based on my definition they are not currencies. That’s a fact,” Mr Roubini, chairman of New York-based consultancy Roubini Macro consultancy and well known for predicting the subprime mortgage crisis in the US and the subsequent 2008 global financial crisis, told the Alternative Investment Management Summit (AIM) in Dubai, on Tuesday.
  
  “If something is volatile [at] 5 to 10 per cent, [it] cannot be a currency. A currency has to have a stable value relative to the price index of goods and services.”
  ~Snipped~
  Cryptocurrency “is not a basis for payment system and whether it is secure or not, we don’t know”, Mr Roubini, who has been a vocal critic of cryptocurrencies, said during the panel session.
• Quote from: https://www.arabianbusiness.com/alternative-assets/469810-why-cryptocurrencies-are-not-currencies-according-to-leading-expert
  Roubini also shared his view on how bitcoin cannot be a hedge against inflation, stating: “If you want to add traditional hedges against inflation, you go to TIPS, inflation-linked bonds, gold and precious metals, and forms of real assets, such as real estate…. There is a whole spectrum of assets that are low volatility and traditional stores of value against inflation.”

Assuming that you're talking about the government, then you still have to rely on each of their suppliers reporting back to the government... Without those information, it'll be extremely hard to trace those back to you and find out where you got those gift cards from.

• Let's assume for a second that all of their suppliers report to the government ^{[it still depends on the type of information that they'd give]}:
  • The government in question should still probe both of the above platforms and in most cases, they're not going to that "unless there's a reason for it".
    ^{- There's nothing to worry about if you stay within the limits [unless I missed something].}

    Bitrefill will not ordinarily share Customer personal data unless required to do so by an appropriate legal instrument (e.g. a subpoena, a warrant or the legal equivalent in the issuing country). Exceptional circumstances (such as a very urgent request that may save a human life, or avoid great harm) may determine a different reaction from our side, but only to the extent permitted by law.

I only care about protecting my privacy, but as you already know, it's easier said than done!

Unfortunately, not enough ^{[e.g. convenience]}... I do know it may sound contradictory, but that's the reality.

Look who's back with a new website that provides useful stats <sup>[once again]
- Btw, I couldn't [referring to your main page]</sup>

---

Would it be possible to also have such stats for each month and year ^{[it'd be nice to also have something similar for both "active addresses" and "highest prices"]}?

Thank you for all of the above confirmations ^{[I appreciate it]}

Unfortunately, "there's none".

You're right... I found a workaround of some sort and I'll probably stick with it for the time being ^{[credit goes to "this video"]}:
^{Note: It doesn't work with a VPN connection [if you try it, you need to restart your windows to get it back to work].}

• Steps:
  
  • Download uTorrent
  • Option > Preferences > Connections > Listening Port > 8333 > Apply > Ok.
  • Keep it open!

---

I'll keep the thread open for now ^{[hopefully, there are still a few other things/solutions to try]}.

Hindi ako magtataka kung wala masyadong demand dun sa mga idadagdag nilang tokens ^{[base dun sa mga dinagdag nila dati]}.
^{- Kung sakaling Uniswap ang idadagdag nila, di siya totally useless.}

I'm not a developer pero sa tingin ko pwede naman but having said that, I'm leaning more towards Uniswap.

Apat pa lang so far ^{[BTC, BCH, ETH, and XRP]}.

I used it because of the static IP address ^{[someone mentioned it in either one of the threads here or on the "Bitcoin Stack Exchange"]}.
^{- Apparently, I had the wrong idea.}

I checked ^{[with my real IP and I've already repeated the first two steps that I've listed before]} and it gave an error ^{[on bitnode is still unreachable]}.

I believe that means disabling it ^["=0"] and it appears that it has something to do with Tor users using it, am I right? I'm using the default settings and judging by @nc50lc's comment, it seems there's no need for me to add it.

That's interesting and weird at the same time! Can someone else confirm if all of the Tor-only nodes act like this?

Unfortunately, "it doesn't".

---

I've already tried everything that I knew and others suggested but it's still pretty much the same...

• CMIIW: If I continue to run it in its current state, I'm still contributing by verifying and connecting to others while other nodes just can't connect to me. Am I right?

After it got fully synched, I went to the information tab to see if finally there's an inbound connection; unfortunately, nothing changed while there are 10 outbound connections!

I've already tried the following things, but bitnodes still says "unreachable":

• Opened port 8333 ^{[both TCP and UDP]} on my router page.
• Added inbound rule for port 8333 on "Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security".
• A VPN connection with a static IP address.
• "Allow incoming connections" is checked ^{[bitcoin core]}.

Is there anything else that I could try?

Update:

Update 2 ^[solution]:

In other words, you'll be giving them a product, without the manuals in it! IMO, you might just annoy them with that kind of gift.

You can still achieve that by inviting them over to assist in creating those in a safe environment, then simply look away when it's time for the seeds to appear ^{[instruct them to write it down in a safe place]}, and lastly, delete all traces of the wallet from your side.
