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

Chuckling to myself over the righteous indignation in the twitterverse over #deletecoinbase, by hordes of critical thinkers absolutely fine with the fact that the CEO of the largest investor in Blockchain was the Chair of the Bilderberg group.

That is not correct! They are just one of a large pool of investors.

Many groups are interested in what Blockstream are doing. Do you now why? Because it is really exciting! It is a game changer!

My phone is looking tired, I'm not looking forward to working out how to change the 2fa to a new phone. Internet instructions are vague.

Quite difficult. Disable 2FA on all your accounts. Setup Authy on the new phone or web, encrypted with a unique secure password. Configure new 2FAs for all your accounts on Authy. Next time you need to move phones will be trivial since you used Authy.

Don't do that! The very basic idea behind 2FA is to not allow "transfer" of same 2FA code to new device!

Well... I could live with that :

Get in my veins

I haven’t been online much the last few days. Been driving myself crazy after finding some kind of a lump/bump in the far corner of my left eyeball, my eye is red as fuck & sore. Any way I’ve just been to the optician’s (eye doctor) & I’m fine. I have an infection/inflamed bulbar conjunctiva which is basically nothing to worry about.
I’ve got some drops & antibiotics which will sort it out.

Sorry for the off topic but after my girlfriend & family this was the next place I thought I’d break the news to.

Advice - Don’t fucking google stuff & try to look for a diagnosis yourself. You’ll likely see some terrible stuff & fear the worst if you do that.

Any way, what are the chances of a massive bitcoin pump this weekend to make me even happier

It's usually not harmful in most cases it goes within a 1-2 of weeks by itself. It happened to me on the lower lid.

1. Use eye drops for itchiness or swelling. Chances are a doctor will suggest one.
2. No scratching, if eyes are getting watery, then you can use water splash.
3  Must Wear glasses.

Get well soon.

Thank you.

+ 1 WO Merit (I’m out atm - remind me & when my source Merit comes back I’ll send some)

If you are using an IOS device then there is an app called ‘authenticator’ which allows you to make backups/copies your 2fa to allow you to restore them to new/other devices.
Not entirely sure about the security of it though but might be worth a look?

No need to pay ripoff prices.
Using simple combinatorics you can set up (for example) a three-of-five secret sharing scheme.
Divide a long random number (your entropy*) into ten concatenated segments Seg(1), Seg(2)... Seg(10).  Assign each segment to a row in this table.  Each row has three red blocks.  Give Seg(i) of the rand to each person who has a red square in row(i).
Any three persons out of the five can put their shares together and recreate the entire rand.

Note that for a two-of-five secret sharing scheme, you would need four red blocks in each row, the combinatoric "5 choose 4" which has five rows.
A four-of-five secret sharing scheme would require two red squares in each row.  5 choose 2 has ten rows.
*Since a bitcoin address privkey is based on a 256 bit random number, you could simply use a 256 bit rand and create a bitcoin privkey directly from that.  In that case, each segment of the key would have 25 or 26 bits, which might not be enough security for you.  To increase security, you could use a 1000 bit rand so that each segment has 100 bits.  Then derive the privkey from the 1000 bit number, perhaps by simply hashing it down to 256 bits using sha256sum (the way bitaddress.org does it).

Very good  
I talked about the Split Wallet feature of bitaddress yesterday (which uses the Shamir's Secret Sharing algorithm AFAIK)
But I prefer your DIY and trustless way, moreover I think it's more convenient and discreet to share numbers or 'real' words(brain wallet) with other people, or to store for yourself, than hexadecimal or base 64 strings...  

You can do almost the same thing for free by using the Split Wallet feature of bitaddress.org and sending one key to someone else.

Can’t you just keep the old phone & put the sim card back into it when you need to use crypto services to get the 2fa text or whatever?

Congratulations Elwar!!!

Nicely done!

I'm famous! Guess it's time to move to Hollywood and get into the drug scene. Then end up broke in the gutter until years later when they ask "where are they now?" where I clean up for the interview as everyone says how brave I am.

One can dream...

Wow we have our own celebrity now! Congrats! Any plans on establishing your own country/state? I'm not asking about the currency though as it's clear it's gonna be BTC

Not sure if Elwar should have been consulted about this before posting. That article gives out personal info.

No, 2FA is simply two ways to authenticate, usually a password and a generated code. My 2FA encryption key is stored offline, and I have a backup 2FA offline device. If my primary device dies, and can easily set up a new primary device safely knowing that nothing has been compromised. If my primary device is stolen, I can use my backup device to deactivate my online 2FA codes and setup fresh new ones.

He posted his own youtube video a few pages ago where his info is given so I suppose he's fine with it.

Looking forward for the 3day excursion ( but my GF just explaining its extreme back to basic for me, 3 days boat trip with very limited electricity, sleeping on  uninhabitad islands, no acces to our backpack etc.... gonna be difficult )

Its largely a rehash of the video. Like they do with a press release.

Last time I went there was 15-20 years ago but from what I recall life is very cheap, beaches are beautiful and the country hasn't been fucked up by tourists like Thailand has... I hope that's still the case.

They are easily locatable on facebook. At least the girl has a very different last name (more thai lol). I guess they don't mind or their Facebook would be blocked off? (If you do mind go do that Elwar).

I would say Elwar's is. Nadia's "lastname" not so sure.

Anyway, names are the less of the problem when you have already decided to go public (which is usually fine most of the time besides our sometimes even insane paranoia).

They are going to live in the middle of the fucking sea. Don't seem to be the average scared-by-everything guys.

[erre]

I just hope nobody will show up in their seadstead with a drill...


Anyway, very well done elwar!!
