Great job on having that book and giving it to your kid. Is it like A for ADA? I don't know. Just guessing.

ADA as for some tokens or something? Hell nah, A is for Altcoin. That generalize them all

Altcoin, bitcoin, consensus...

$24 is expensive, id rather buy foundations of discrete math or programming for kids.
Dancemat typing is quite fun and free too if it's still going. I started on that when I was 5 it'll teach them how to type fast without looking (very helpful unless you're using a touchscreen).

It's the first time I heard of Dancemat. Is it this one? https://www.bbc.com/bitesize/articles/z3c6tfr

I remember practicing that requires you to download a program and it's color violet. I think Typing Master? Not sure

I don't think so, I just went on it. I see they've changed everything...

I didn't have to download anything now. Try tor it disabling noscript with an exit node in the UK...

You know, because of this conversation, I happen to stumble upon Typesy. I just researched what's the best typing tutorial/program that could make my WPM faster than it is now.

[jackg]

What's your wpm. Mine is 53 but I'm tired and haven't typed in ages. I used to have 70 but I'm not sure what's happened to that...

This is the dashboard of Typesy and my current speed is 40 wpm (this is with the training part). I'm currently at home keys and there are a lot of lessons to cover before evaluating the real WPM. With the test that they gave to determine my speed, it's around 50 WPM also. Target 110 WPM, we'll see if it's achievable. Lol

Thanks to you guys for supporting the coffee lounge, there are some interesting topics here. I was going to reply to JackG's bread post, but I would just be banging on about Iodine and Soya. The typing topic looks to be a bit more interesting. I can't really contribute to it though, as I am a self-taught, two fingers guy.

[jackg]

110 words is huge to do in a second. I probably can't think that fast though. Do they teach you do to that .

Typsey is also a paid service so I'm out already...


@jetty I made a loaf

That children's book is really COOL!
I am just slightly faster than hunt and peck for typing---sometimes it's painful on the old lady hands:-)
In my 20's I spent DAYs reciting speeches while  training Dragon Naturally Speaking....lol

It never got as good as today's speech to text

This is my current standing after our conversation here.


I think what they are teaching right now is that you have to be consistent and the right ergonomic positions to do the correct thing and be consistent at it. There are a lot of fun games on it.

The price is not that high considering it's a lifetime payment thing, not continuous.

Sorry I've been a bit erratic recently. I've been giving a bit of priority to my mobile comms site - well clearing the van and preparing for it anyway.

I realise that I haven't done anything on the tunes site or my blog, and i need to put time into Fit to Talk as well. Hopefully I can do that later this week.

Had a bad night last night. I'm touring Somerset, and I spent the night in a truckstop. I had a guy park nearby with a refrigeration unit that was going all night. I moved eventually, but I feel really tired this morning.

[_Miracle]

I had considered getting an camper van with a slider on the side...during my 3rd month someone parked next to me with one of those and were in and out ALL day and night...lol

I love my little rig!

[Jet Cash]

Well I missed yesterdays spike in the Bitcoin price, I've got a few Satoshi in a CoinBase trading account, and I would have sold those if I had spotted the jump in time. I probably ought to leave a couple of positions open to take advantage of these jumps in the future. Maybe I'll move a bit more fiat into the account.

I've been a bit distracted by the problems with the read brakes on the van, and I'll fix them myself. Maybe I should take some photos, or make a YouTube video.

[update]

Well I tried to move a few hundred pounds into my account, and it looks asif I can no longer use Faster Payments. I have to initiate a standard bank transfer for a minimum of £1,000 and wit 3 days. Well that is a non starter, so I'll need to find another exchange that accepts Sterling.

This video introduces the golden ratio, and relates it to a variety of music.

This one is my favourite, and it is a simple creation for the keyboard. There are some nice visuals included as well.

I transferred £500 into non-pro coinbase. It was a bit disappointing that they hold deposits for three days.

Pro sent me to deposit into a bank in estonia, I tried contacting their support but got nowhere so if you find somewhere else then let me know. Localbitcoins with cash deposits isn't bad though if you have a few banks near you, or you can deposit to coinbase by card.

[Jet Cash]

That bread looks good - it's making me hungry.

I'm going to use the coinbase change to back away from (not ) trading, and tryt to revert to a more normal life. I was walking through the woods a couple of days ago, and on looking at a couple of branches, I though that they looked like an ascending triangle. It wasn't a problem, because there weren't any bears about, but it did make me think about the distortions in my current life. I might take a break, and underseal the van or something.

Do you know if it is easy to transfer funds between coinbase accounts? I might use that as a payment option for domain name sales.

OK - I had a look at coinbase, and it looks as if the only way would be for the seller to withdraw to one of my addresses. That might be even better.

I really need to investigate hardware wallets. My instinct is to rely on running a full node, and using sensible security precautions on the computer. I feel slightly uncomfortable about using a 3rd party product, especially with a Bluetooth connection. I'm sure this a self-imposed limitation, as so many people seem to be using these wallets, and they have obviously checked the security they offer.

I think it would really help you a lot because you only have to connect it when you are transacting. I recently obtained a Ledger Nano X and it works wonderfully, to me at least. I can make and manage my own transactions right on my smartphone. It makes a lot easier when you are on the go most of the time. When I think about worrying with bluetooth, you only turn it on when you are transacting, realistically, it wouldn't be open most of the time. That's just my opinion though.

I'm not that technical when it comes to the securities but no problems so far.

i really suggest a hardware wallet for any significant amount of coin. partly because of its ability to be recreated based with its seed words if lost/stolen/broken, and partly because of its "plausible deniability" feature of having multiple independent wallets on the same device.

that being said, ive run the core wallet on my always on windows desktop pc since 2011. desktop been rebuilt a couple times but the 2011 wallet has always gone onto it and is there now. i use it to receive mining payouts and occasionally send transactions to an exchange. so good computer security and common sense on its uses is the main thing if youre going to keep using a software wallet. i mention it because it seems someone always comes along and says using windows is practically a guaranteed way to get hacked. well *nix is better security wise but windows, when properly configured and updated is pretty good too.

not that i recommend running windows and a software wallet, hardware wallet is the way to go IMO. but it can be done.

i have trezor one, trezor t, and ledger nano s. i like the trezors best.

[jackg]

I'm not sure how much I like the hardware wallet. I bought 3 trezors so perhaps a multisig of the three would make me much happier from address collisions.

I have the trezor original, it's open source... You can get the chip printed by any company yourself and they use arm cortex v3 (I think) arm processors (the best processor company for security and privacy imo).

I currently have 25% of my cryptocurrency on an exchange so feel free to ignore anything that comes from me security wise...


My trezor is also good because I can store eth, ltc and btc on there and those are the main trading pairs I use.

The ledger blue looked interesting to me though and if you can multisig with a few hardware devices then it is obviously safer...

My issue with trezor (it might be the same with ledger though) is that the device doesn't seem to derive ethereum a addresses, you just have to assume your computer has it right which is a bit worrying...

(I can use my trezor from my phone and I want to see if 8 can plug both into a portable charger and get them to connect, rather than having to keep using my USBc to micro USB connector).

I've just watched this video, and I really want to do it.
