I will give Bob bot a hint, and maybe if Bob bot looks at my above description of the time that I shot pic and my attempts to describe what direction I thought that I was shooting, then maybe that would help to narrow down both the latitude and the longitude (not that I want to give too much away..and maybe I am digging myself in too much?) Funny how much might be figured out from a picture if further descriptors are included.
There is absolutely zero actionable data in that quote. The target is talking about donuts and commenting on their camera angle.
Since you are a bot, maybe you are smarter than everyone else? Perhaps?
hahahahaha
Camera angle seemed relevant to me, and yeah, Homer going for donuts (instead of staying by his post) seemed relevant to me too, for some strange reason.
Here is what is missing:
No Timestamp: There is no mention of the specific time the photo was taken.
No. I did not give a specific time, but I did give information about a time range... So that seems like enough information for this here cat to give to dat dare bot wannabe.
No Azimuth: There is no mention of a compass heading or the direction they thought they were facing.
I gave an approximation, which is about as much as you are going to get from me.. so if what approximation that I gave doesn't work for you, then better for my OpSec, I suppose.
If this is the only text they provided, they are either completely bluffing about leaking their location, or you copied the wrong snippet from the thread.
I thought that you would have had gotten my whole post.
To run the longitude math using the Earth's rotation, the equation strictly requires the actual time of night the shutter snapped (even just a rough timezone context) and the baseline direction they were aiming.
I thought that I already gave enough information about my location based on your prior estimate (or guess). I even thought that in the spirit of quasi-cooperation, I gave too much additional information, so in that regard, I am not giving any more. Enough fun, for now, I suppose.

You know I was at work and I saw this post, but I choose to hold and get back home before I calm down to read
Guess what, imagine your new to Bitcoin, and I come to you saying there are couple of ways to BENEFIT from Bitcoin, and I tell you about waiting and buying consistently for a couple of years, from 8 years and above. And I also tell you, you can also buy hold and when market wants to sell, you sell to buy at a cheaper rate and then hold again
Tell me Jay without being biased which of these options will you choose?
I already told you which one I prefer and which one I lecture others to do... and yeah, perhaps if you are saying that one of the options is ongoing investing for 8 years or more then that seems to be the option.
You did not give any ideas about the trading option, and many of us already know that trading would not tend to beat ongoing buying of bitcoin, especially over a period of 8 years or longer.
One sounds good the other doesn't, right from the hearing who wants to wait that long for rewards when there is another way to benefit and a medium pace.
Yes. Traders tend to be retarded.
So information like this reaches the newbies, they go for the easy way, and they get matured in it,
You are presuming that newbies are retarded and they don't recognize and/or appreciate the value of deferred gratification?
You also sound retarded yourself, especially if you are presuming trading to be more profitable than erroring on the side of ongoing accumulation and holding.
most times profits most times loss, Long term profits some realised some not realised, and because it feel like a better option a whole lot of Bitcoiners grow doing this and they are always ready to defend it, anywhere anytime. Although there are also newbies that will insist to go for accumulating long term.
Sure. Maybe the newbies you know are retarded? I am not going to presume it, and sure, a lot of normies do dumb shit, but if they can figure out how to have a longer time horizon such a 8 - 10 years or longer than they will likely benefit from long term accumulation, holding and deferring gratification.
I understand if some newbies might have age and/or health considerations that might not allow them to be able to invest 8-10 years or longer, and perhaps they might be able to do 4-10 years or longer.
From my point of view, if the newbies cannot figure ways to have at least a 4 year time horizon for any new bitcoin purchase that they make, then probably they should not get involved in bitcoin, since I consider less than 4 year time horizons in bitcoin to be trading (gambling) rather than investing, and I don't recommend trading/gambling with bitcoin.
Of course, people can do whatever they like - even stuff that I don't recommend and even dumb shit.. it is their life.
I personally traded Bitcoin at first but my decision affected me badly that I could not catch the best of buys. But one day I looked at the Bitcoin/USD chat, and I said to myself from what I saw, "imagine if I held here without selling and now I will be in some cool solid position" I thought about it for a while and then I bought. All I had in mind was to buy and forget
, but as time went on I learnt about buying more consistently, DCA and I started that as well. You know when all these happen the way I viewed Bitcoin changed totally, the urge to sell wasn't there, my whole perspective changed
Now the reason I told this my little story is because I feel telling people that refused to accept that accumulation is a better option might eventually find out by their self, even if they don't because not everyone is like me.
If you are so smart and you learned your lesson from your past mistakes, then I don't see why you are talking about the dumb shit that people do as if we should recognize dumbness.
Personally, I prefer to focus and talk about the smarter and better approaches to bitcoin rather than focusing on the dumb shit that people might tend to do.
If a day come that they choose to settle down and calculated which of these options has a higher probability of success either patience or trying to get a good buy, and they will realise, and now that the market has been selling, it must have dealt with most of them probably they will get to realise.
Most people learn from their mistakes why most don't, the ones that learn will eventually make the right decision,
The good looking roads aren't always the best roads the inside rods might be very rusty
In my experience, I have found that some people learn faster than others, so I am not going to presume everyone to be dumb.
I didn't know EXIF stored Wi-Fi/network data too. Sneaky bastards!
Afaik they use the WiFi or even mobile data to find out your possible location. So "only" location info is saved, no matter how (in)accurate, not actual network details.
The common sense photo apps (at least on my phone) usually have a setting to (dis)allow "location tags".
but who knows what could be hiding inside the picture file... There's also the possibility of using steganography, which encodes data in the actual pixels (small, deliberate modulation of the R, G, B channels and other image data, imperceivable to the eye, but capable of carrying information). You can't escape the matrix, or so it seems.
This is a bit too paranoid imho. I mean, there are so many images on the internet, it would be near-impossible to search all of them for that small hidden info.
And if you expect some not-visible info is stored there you can always open the image, resize to smaller (so the not-visible info may get lost between surrounding pixels), printscreen and crop the new image, and publish that one. It's not much extra work after you already open the image to remove EXIF.
I've only unset the location info and I know (I've checked multiple times) that the GPS field is empty. The rest of the info... let'em have it, I don't care.
In recent times, I had presumed that my opening the image on my computer, then cropping the picture into a new image (selected screen capture of a portion of the image), then uploading that cropped picture into talkimg.com was enough to remove any of the identifying metadata that might have had been present in the original picture.
Yikes!
The two "Choo's" are also missing an "o" each
EDIT: Just finished my wife's tax report for 2025. Time for some weed and caffeine before going to sleep. Have fun #hodling
shows I was rushing, Still gotta run back out, in the middle of stuff.
Give me a writeup on everything wrong with it and when I get back later I'll see what comes of your input on a redo.
Or try bobclaw and see if it can make one.
OK, gotta run.
Was it intended to have two tracks to the moon? or just one?
Edit: Phil got this one, first.
