hacker hits bisq for $250K

what % of your btc is on an exchange? I used to have 1%, now much less.

Yep.  Prior to 2017, I had over half of my BTC on various exchanges, and unwittingly the other half of my BTC in kind of vulnerable form of storage.  I rethought my storage and engaged in some better safeguarding.. including fewer vulnerabilities.

I did a quick calculation, and I am not down to 1% on exchanges, but instead I seem to be at a bit more than 10%, and maybe coming down further could be practical.. maybe?  It is at least good to attempt to reconsider some of these matters from time to time, and to attempt to understand the risk in using exchanges and other parts of the Bitcoin ecosystem, whether trading or otherwise attempting to transact.   Losing any BTC is uncomfortable, but there is also some value in attempting to support the bitcoin ecosystem, and even attempting to take advantage of both the volatility and the price finding functions and interacting and learning from the various bitcoin related systems out there, whether it be something like Bisq, lightning network or some of the variety of exchanges.  There are also wallets and payment vehicles that can be vulnerable too, but can also be good to attempt to support some of those various ecosystem contributions... even while realizing that there are BIG MEANIE people out there who are engaged in various creative or even possible brute force ways to attempt to separate you from your bitcoins.

The failure to comprehensively test the population of the world for this virus is not just a failure of politicians. We pay them to fail us and they did so admirably.

You are trying to give the politicians a pass because they have such a low bar yet they are the ones that put us here and keep us here no matter what the scientific community does. There are quite a few Scientific martyrs that have lost their carriers/livelihood and/or life. All balls and no brains is the mantra that has gotten us here. Shit there are still a subset of morons that argue there is no climate change and its only because of the scientific community yelling for decades and the world changing before our eyes that allowed the truth to be widely accepted, if it wasn't for that those in power would still have the masses brainwashed.

'Gross misjudgment': Experts say Trump's decision to disband pandemic team hindered coronavirus response

Interesting how you can (correctly) point out the problem right here

It highlights the abject powerlessness of all scientists and medics, who have been subservient to the state for far too long now.

But then in the next sentence throw blame on right back on them when the two are orders of magnitudes apart.

Until they collectively grow a pair of balls, we won't be trusting them either.

This is spoken like  man thats never had the system used to crush him and doesn't realize it can be, you are showing ignorance of the realities of life in a non-connected family with this post V8. Or at the very least from the view point of a man that has never stepped out of line himself. But from your posts I find that hard to believe. Unless you never found what happens if you don't heed the warnings to get back in line. Being a honorable man and not folding under absolute pressure is something few of us are able to achieve and not all of us survive.


Don't get me wrong though, I believe all of our leaders in every field need to stand up for whats right even when it costs them but those that control the police in this police state are the ones in control and thats where the buck stops.

All is fair in love and Bitcoin.

This is why you should spread your coins across several addresses rather than stacking them all in one.  If someone lucks out... at least you got another stack of coins.

In regards to keeping coins on exchanges... I own a exchange and I don't keep my coins there! If that says anything to a reader wondering if they should keep their coins on whatever exchange they use.  Exchanges are just big ass targets... it's far better to keep your loot away from the obvious places that are going to get targeted.  However, you should keep a little liquidity on the books to assist the economy, but not more than you're willing to lose.

I finally started getting some off of binance yesterday and was pleasantry surprised I didn't run into any roadblocks besides the insane amount of actions required to make a address, whitelist it and withdraw. Oh and to find the goddamn withdraw button alone was a serious PITA! I made 4 transactions that took about 3 emails and 2 2fa checks each. I don't trust them to not stop a large withdraw so I am making many small withdraws to different cold storage's.

[Hueristic]

wow

that was a little window into how ibian's mind works that I really didn't need to see in

HAH, I was glad you didn't quote him and then the next post JJG did. Doh

Funny thing is chicks do smell every goddamn thing. I had some stupid bitch shove a mask in my face (she wore out) for me to smell. I said what the fuck is wrong with you , you want me to smell the goddamn virus you used that thing to protect you from? Now go wash you hands for 20 seconds and don't touch that thing for 12 hours. Lol, some chicks can drive me insane.

I've put 1 BTC into a lightning node to help support it in my small way.
I'm prepared to lose it if it goes tits-up.

Depends on the chick. I was with a lass for a while who decided my shower was 'dirty' because it was old and unfashionable so refused to wash in it. After 2-3 days she smelt like a horse but seemed remarkably unbothered by it unlike myself.

When I was a kid I spent many months insisting I could catch a whiff of something rotten rushing through the kitchen. My mother consistently poo poohed me until I had a rummage and located a deep fat fryer with unidentified food melted into it. Since she's a human garbage disposal unit who'll eat anything I decided to dispose of it in private.

LMAO!

You're not contradicting what I said.

Yes, we need more contradiction in this thread.

Ironic post, or am I thinking of a different word JJG?

[d_eddie]

Hey, my own sister thought her first kid smelled bad when she was pregnant with her second. I explained that this is so she doesn't get the bright idea to eat him.

Lots of stuff has very practical evolutionary reasons. This is just one of them.

Your understanding of evolution seems a bit shaky.

Feel free to propose an alternative hypothesis. I can't fucking wait to see what you come up with.

Response to taste and smell changes during pregnancy. This is probably due to biochemical/hormone dynamics. There might be evolutionary advantages in that (what's good for the mother, what's good for the fetus etc), but the benefits of any anti-cannibalism effect seem dubious at least.

So... sounds like we agree.

Your understanding of English seems a bit shaky too.
