Which confirms one thing, Telegram has been a paradise for scammers running their operations in different forms.

For the members of this forum this became evident a long time back since we came across threads showing how easy it is to hide information in Telegram but for those who are not in this forum, that is the entire world population ( Roll Eyes) they never got this or suspected it. They were thus easy targets and have been commonly scammed day in and day out. These people never know whom to trust, which button to click and how to keep their money safe.

However one might call out "Tech centralization" and all that, this is the hard, raw truth which we all have to accept.

The only issue I have with this is that someday it will become practically impossible to have full node on home machine.
2015 I used to run a full node on my laptop and it was more or less much easier. But the time goes...

Unstoppable has been a very good wallet but I want to use USDT on Ton blockchain with it which I did not see. I went to blockchain to see if I can import the token but Ton is not among the blockchains listed. There is Ton on Unstoppable wallet but its tokens like USDT and others are not yet there. I do not want to use wallet like Trustwallet for it because it is close source.

In 2018, I encountered it in a novel. I had no idea what it was and didn’t bother to look it up; I completely ignored it.

Here’s what the novel said: “I have six hundred Bitcoins, a house, no wife or kids, and if I run out of money for food, I can just sell some Bitcoins.”
“Here’s a Bitcoin mining machine for you, equipped with the highest configuration graphics card array. Each one costs 1.2 million. If you’re willing to join, I’ll lend you six to use in the company’s server room. The company will cover the electricity costs, and you can keep whatever coins you mine.”

I realized that when you have no understanding of something at all, even if someone tells you about it, you’ll still ignore it.

HODLING any kind of cryptocurrency for a long period of time is easier said than done and I am speaking from experience especially if you are checking out the prices on a regular basis through various channels.

Some investors got really lucky and scored big thanks to forgetting about their stash completely and remembering at the perfect time. This is the easiest way to HODL for years.
That's right. Holding crypto is easy to say but when it comes to doing it is very difficult because there will be a lot of emotional pressure, fear and many other things that will continue to be on our minds, especially if we monitor the price all the time, of course it will affect our psychology in investing.

Therefore, before holding, we must first do research first so that it will be safer for us to invest because we know what the future of bitcoin is like. Bitcoin is an asset for the long term, and holding bitcoin is the right strategy to achieve success.

There are so many examples of the power of holding bitcoin that have succeeded and been financially successful, such as the example given by OP. So it's no wonder that if we already know what kind of Holding power we will be calmer when investing and usually we will also be more relaxed and don't need to check the asset price many times or every day because we believe in Bitcoin assets. In essence, this strategy will keep us calm and anti-anxiety even though the price is falling because we have confidence in our goals.
The anxiety in holding Bitcoin seems to be felt by almost all beginners who are new or just entering the world of Bitcoin, and maybe their expectations are too high because there are already so many investors who have profited from Bitcoin and also Bitcoin's extraordinary track record as a very promising and profitable long-term investment makes them interested. Therefore, it is very important for those who hold Bitcoin to have a strong mentality and sufficient knowledge to be able to do it well and calmly when the price of Bitcoin is falling because they already have a strong belief that whatever happens to the price of Bitcoin will definitely go up again, because that's how Bitcoin works because of several factors that cannot be known but in the end in the long term the price of Bitcoin will continue to increase. Therefore, it would be nice if we really have sufficient knowledge in terms of analysis, instill strong beliefs and patience in doing so so that everything goes according to plan. And most importantly, don't use money for needs.
The best way to overcome this anxiety is to have a plan. For instance,  a person who wants to invest in bitcoin as a retirement plan will definitely be willing to invest for years without that urge to withdraw and start spending the money. The plan could be to invest for 2, 3, 4 years and above as the case may be because there is a goal to achieve. The investment decisions will never be thesame with someone without any set plan who just wants to to hodl till the value appreciates a bit and they withdraw immediately. You see this kind of people constantly checking the price of bitcoin because they don't want to be taken unawares.

Whether a person intends to invest for short term or long-term, a good investment plan should be able to help them remain focused on the goal or target they intend to reach. It is only an unserious investor that will invest without a plan and regret when others are making it big.

If you are talking about the time devoted to Bitcoin in their election campaigns, Trump devotes more time, but it is not that much and he does it only occasionally so as not to lose the favor of voters. I am almost sure that after the election they will have many other things to worry about besides Bitcoin, and they will not influence it in any way or worry about its adoption. All you need to know about politicians is that they will always care about achieving their goals by any means necessary. And as for Bitcoin, I think that no matter who wins the election, we will still see a bullrun, the most important thing is that none of the candidates want to ban the use of Bitcoin.
Become the politician habit not really care about what they are promising exactly for Donald Trump since first time show him as US president candidate make huge promising about legalizing bitcoin as payment transaction on United State.
One month left before election campaign but still not bring significant positive impact for bitcoin keep growing up although many people expected with Trump promising and possibility become United State president will bitcoin have huge impact?

Considering some media reported, the other president candidate Kamala Harris have announced support with bitcoin, its only his trick get many vote from US citizen or he really adopt bitcoin later when becoming president. I don't know what the opinion about US Citizen from their president candidate about bitcoin which one have positive impact later when becoming president between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.

Shouldn't we be looking at FPGAs by now?

Or consider leveraging a RISC-V CPU for this.

The love and admiration for people with the creator of Bitcoin was born because people had realized how meaningful Bitcoin was so that it gave birth to a work in the form of a statue.
And Bitcoin still remains valuable, which is likely to draw attention to Hungary, been a city that host the first statue of Bitcoin.

For those of us here who know the advantages of the Bitcoin system as an innovation that gained independence also feel like immortalizing the figure of Satoshi Nakamoto and want many countries to make Bitcoin like El Salvador did, not just Hungary.
I guess if I'm not wrong that in our workspace there is a Bitcoin logo, even on the desktop of the work device. That is also a form of love and admiration for Bitcoin.

--snip--

After an uptime of bitcoind of nearly three days (~220,000 seconds) and with Firefox open (I have quite some tabs open that are retained during sessions), this is the memory consumption output by free -h:
Code:
               total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:           7,6Gi       1,9Gi       159Mi       324Mi       5,5Gi       5,1Gi
Swap:           15Gi       2,2Gi        13Gi

I don't see much memory pressure when about 5+GiB are still allocated as buffer/cache by the kernel and ~5GiB are flagged as available.

I scanned through output of journalctl and couldn't find anything related to systemd-oomd in my logs. I guess the out-of-memory daemon is bored to death on my system. I take this as a good sign...

Thanks for sharing. Although in this case, more advance monitoring tools such as atop could show more data. For example, showing RAM usage over time and top 3 process which use most memory. Here's a snipped example from my VM.

Code:
$ atopsar -G

04:46:43   1671 x-www-br  23% |  4017 firefox.  10% |  4503 Isolated   5%

$ atopsar -m

I never liked that 2.2 GB swap when it has enough memory, and used to run without swap, but enabled it again just in case some process suddenly needs a lot of memory (like Firefox on Aliexpress). That gives me more time to respond instead of becoming dead slow until it kills something.

You could change the behavior by modify swappiness value.

Someone has to sit down and write a completely new kangaroo.

Shouldn't we be looking at FPGAs by now?

I'm actually working on a little project to get me started with Verilog.

It is a simple xpoint-only bruteforcer for now. The design works fine, but I couldn't fit it on the target chip yet.

The main goal is to get to the level where I can create a HDL Kangaroo implementation as there are none out there.



I agree with you. I think the future is the FPGA, it is the clear evolution path.
