Taking on values that destroy your culture can hardly be called enlightened.

My culture? I am my own culture. I am responsible only for my actions. Any people in the past or future are not me. How does not being a racist affect my culture other than show that I am not intellectually weak and prone to manipulation due to my need to feel like I am part of some collective?

A culture of one is just an individual. Doesn't work for social animals.

Some people can rise above being animals and be intellectual individuals.

I do not blame you, many people are weak and believe they need to be part of something "bigger than themselves" due to low self esteem. It is the rallying cry of those that cannot hack it in the world on their own. You are among the majority. I do not expect most people to have self confidence, but I don't have to listen to their justifications for covering up that fact either. I have my own life to live without wasting my time with those that have yet to come to terms with themselves. Time to ignore racists on here too.

Oxytocin is a thing. Look it up. An argument could very easily be made that people who don't care for social connections are deeply flawed.

[Ibian]

Of course the racists and nationalists fail to understand this, because their eyes are firmly fixed on the past their romanticized revisionist version of the past.

Depends on the culture. The current afghan culture certainly is not, for anyone including afghans. 50s america on the other hand? Especially compared to today?

50s America? You mean good ol' times of McCarthy, segregated drinking fountains and the military industrial complex taking over and implementing a worldwide neo-colonialist agenda, starting proxy wars while upholding the narrative of "land of the free home of the brave"? A chicken in every pot and a gas-guzzling muscle car in every home, made affordable by the exploitation of foreign lands? Good times! Nothing wrong with this while you're the beneficiary, right?

To be fair, today's culture isn't much better. Hence what I am saying - culture is not your friend. Watch the video.

Yes, all of that. And bar brawls not resulting in years in prison as well.

You can't escape culture. Trying to do your own thing just means you are using a culture you made up.

I tirelessly spend time blocking every racist news source on Facebook only to come to a Bitcoin forum to hear more discussion of race.

Get over it. It is meant to divide you and you are falling for it.

Now I will have to tirelessly ignore people on here to the point where it will be like the beartroll days where my wall will be filled with ignore posts.

Totally agree, pls take the anti-jew, racist crap somewhere else, I come here to read about Bitcoin and the occasional bit of BS. I can tolerate a little, but not when it becomes continuous.

Me too, please stop all this racist shit. I support free speech but can someone make a racism thread so that all the racists can just hang out there and be racist somewhere else?

I've suggested a bigot sub forum in the past where people can hate on womenz, jews and benders amongst their like minded friends. It wasn't taken up.

Somewhere else? Where?
Daily Stormer was closed because there is no free speech in "the land of the free and brave" and now they sh!t wherever they find it appropriate.

[Map of sunken bitcoin nodes]

Real bitcoiners even run their full node under water

[aesma]

About running a full node, I'm syncing one right now, but I'm wondering if it's that wise. Wouldn't that paint a target on my place and thus my person ?

What about using a VPS for this ?

I would like to broadcast transactions created on an offline computer containing my wallet.

[ghandi]

I'm running a full node for years at home. No problems what so ever. But that may depend on your local setup. Is your ISP providing super accurate geo-ip information? Do you have a static IP-Address?

At least Bitcoin-Core isn't a threat (in my point of view). Yes, it accepts incoming connections on Port 8333 (if you want so), but to my knowledge the network code is robust and hasn't been hacked/overflowed/etc. so far.

Of course you should not store (or leave behind the private keys) of your savings account, on that full node.

// If you got an VPS at hand with enough storage (160GB) it's an option too. But than you will have to do some network tunneling in order to get your offline transaction to be broadcasted.

So the BCH devs are already talking about making changes to the code? Color me shocked.

I've got a static IP address and the geo info is pretty accurate (not my house or my street, fortunately !).

At least Bitcoin-Core isn't a threat (in my point of view). Yes, it accepts incoming connections on Port 8333 (if you want so), but to my knowledge the network code is robust and hasn't been hacked/overflowed/etc. so far.

Basically my worry is that I'm inviting attacks (or maybe even government interest) by running a node from my home. My wallets would be safe but maybe not other things (ransomware attack anyone?).

Yes about network tunneling that would be the idea.

I have a VPN service but I worry that if the VPN drops the node would stay online without caring.

[suzanne5223]

Short term i don't feel good. Looks like the double top locked in an we're on the way down...  

Only $4260 per Bitcoin. Crypto is over!!!

Crypto is not over until it over and crypto is not over for those who stick to bitcoin. Besides, we're at $4314 per bitcoin now and for those who moved to BCH because it bullish acouple of weeks ago. Crypto is over .

[bitserve]

I have a VPN service but I worry that if the VPN drops the node would stay online without caring.

Firewall it (default deny all) on your outbound router and only allow packets going to the VPN provider. If the VPN drops, it will simply get disconnected, and that way you also make sure there's no DNS or other type of leakeage going on.

[fabiorem]

Will we see a correction to $4100? I need to sell some altcoins on Bittrex.

Use TOR.

https://bitcoincore.org/en/releases/0.12.0/

Code:

#Automatically use Tor hidden services#

Starting with Tor version 0.2.7.1 it is possible, through Tor’s control
socket API, to create and destroy ‘ephemeral’ hidden services
programmatically. Bitcoin Core has been updated to make use of this.

This means that if Tor is running (and proper authorization is available),
Bitcoin Core automatically creates a hidden service to listen on,
without manual configuration.
Bitcoin Core will also use Tor automatically to connect to other .onion nodes
if the control socket can be successfully opened. This will positively affect
the number of available .onion nodes and their usage.

This new feature is enabled by default if Bitcoin Core is listening,
and a connection to Tor can be made. It can be configured with
the -listenonion, -torcontrol and -torpassword settings.
 To show verbose debugging information, pass -debug=tor.

Oh snap, gold just forcefully broke through 1300 resistance. Shits going down.
