Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

Thanks, the computer will be offline  while I'm making the wallets, but it's not a computer that's offline usually.

Then don't do it. Buy some $50 refurbished piece of poo laptop from Ebay and take out the wifi card before doing anything with it.

Then soak it in petrol and set it ablaze after you do the deed ...just to be sure ....

Don't forget the being naked while using it part.

You people are too damn smart. Verified checksum? Shee-it. How I ever got mixed up with you lot is beyond me.

[jojo69]

What program are you using to create the key pair Jojo?

Armory, I'm old school

I know I should migrate to a BIP39 wallet...but I about have a nervous breakdown every time I touch my keys

[HairyMaclairy]

Stupid question - how do you get Armory onto the clean install?  Another USB stick with verified checksum?

Indeed. Those dry cleaning people are fond of putting microdot cameras on your clothes, powered by static electricity.

But where people really blow it is failing to do an enema before entering the room with the computer. Because you know what kind of people proctologists are, and they have been known to sneak into people's bedrooms at night to plant their malware....

Colon blow: It's not just for breakfast anymore...

That goes without saying of course.

But I start off with a similar routine to this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1vw7E7uE3E

With a full removal of gut flora followed by a fecal transplant when my crypto business is complete.

Try to use the Via BTC accelerator

https://pool.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/

Sorry, your TXID doesn't exist  when I use accelerator.

How were your funds stolen?

Windows 10, I just did a fresh install a few days ago. I haven’t installed much other then btc, Ltd, ripple wallet. Not sure how I got a virus. It turned off windows defender and I only saw it detected a virus when I turned it back on. This is after I already noticed my coins moving on the blockchain. I don’t keep wallets on on my pc but I had them on for a min earlier today to move some coins.

That's what hardware wallets are for... to NEVER let your regular computer know your private keys not even for a brief second (which people with paperwallets will have to do when they decide to claim them).

Unfortunately that advice is of not much help for your recent incident now

[Deeyoh]

Hmm, still 20 billion left to throw in.   That should move it up another 750.

PS.. always be naked when messing around with bitcoin wallets.

My hardware wallet makes about as much sense to me as a verified checksum makes to my ass doctor. Plan on getting a second one just so's I don't have to update the one I have.

You're intuition is spot on.

Also, power prices in Germany (and other Euro countries) going negative? So why aren't more Bitcoin miners setting up shop there?

Warmist propaganda.
Germany has one of the highest price of electricity in Europe

Because 'customers' pay a fixed rate. Typically ~ 33 US cent / kWh, taxes, transportation fees (really), regional fees (regions with weaker infrastructure pay more), ecology fees (to pay people feeding power in from solar panels) and... more stuff... Selling prices are not really influenced by purchase/production costs. Long story short, mining will pay-off only if you have your own solar park and the sun is shining.

Haha, now this is choice.

Vitalik Buterin goes on a rant pointing out all that is currently wrong with the crypto world, as well as admitting what goals Ethereum and other cryptos haven't yet accomplished.

But then he threatens to leave the Ethereum project because of it. Which inadvertently highlights another fallacy: how important he supposedly believes he is to the Ethereum project, or that a decentralized cryptocurrency should have ever had a CEO/Lead creator/developer in the first place.    

Also, it's pretty ironic that the MSM want to use the analogy of Beanie Babies when referring to Bitcoin. But the CryptoKitties dapp is literally a digital version of Beanie Babies reincarnate. But of course they don't say shit about that.

He wants the Crypto community to grow up whilst he posts a pic of himself in which he looks about 12 years old?

... Whilst threatening to rage quit as a crying child would do because of trolls are being just trolls.

...or if you make a deal with somebody who will mine for you at a better electricity rate.

Exactly the usualy private customer pays 0,23 €/kwh - we basically pay the electricity for the big companies which pay around 0,10 € or less to be competitive

ETH is an exploding clown car. So now he cares? There isn't a worthwhile dApp now, and there wasn't even the hint of one when he created this mess. It has no use case. It never did. He should feel bad.
