Not to mention 2FA yubikey support, as well as PGP support for the emails.
Kraken is the only exchange I know for PGP. Gemini and Binance also have yubikey support, but the later restricts the browser.

Good to know.  No sane person wants for his e-mail provider to have access to sensitive financial information!

I know that some exchanges send such e-mails as, “You just withdrew 100 BTC to bc1qoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo9e75rs.”  That is not information that I would want a mailserver admin to be able to see.

Beware of such information leaks, lest you find yourself someday added to this list:

Quadriga had PGP emails. But it died.

For all other emails, I delete them immediately and hopefully the servers don't keep them too long.

All good things to those who wait
Regarding mindrust and the comments WOers occasionally make about him (including haikus & other poems, and bat-slappings too), I don't think they are meant as insulting or derogatory. Personally, I don't have anything against him. I've even merited him, and he has merited me here in WO. I think most of the references to him and his "mindrust action", are merely to warn others who may be inclined to do the same. They serve as a warning and a lesson to all of us to keep out cool and not flinch at times of big corrections. Because big corrections can happen, and will happen. If anything, mindrust is, perhaps without even knowing it, actively helping and protecting others from making the same mistake.

If he ever came back here in WO, I'd greet him warmly, and welcome his comments on his "mindrust action" and his current thinking about Bitcoin and the way forward. It would make an interesting discussion. Nothing at all against him on my side.

I totally agree! I had written a ton of posts arguing with mindrust with the only goal to help him avoid this terrible mistake. He didn't want to sacrifice 10% of his stash to rebuy it back, and now he regrets missing a 15x profit, which will soon be 30x, etc. This is not a joke, this is serious - like the death of a close friend, knowing that one of WO's legends chose the life of misery and slavery to the fiat system, instead of the full freedom that Bitcoin could have given him in just 12 months after that horrible day. Now, this day will be remembered as Mindurst Day and will remind everyone to be even stronger in bad days, as AlcoHoDL noted!

OW COME ON!!! Edging $58k is killing me  Cry

I am thinking that we might be stuck (aka stalled) - ever heard of that concept?


It has alot to do with health, most people living in pain for long enough are more than ready to die.

Chronic pain is surely a big issue but health is not necessarily directly correlated with that. I think my larger point stands.

You are speaking like a person who has never experienced a certain level of chronic illness, poverty and ongoing suffering and struggles and ongoing deterioration over years and years and years - loss of energy might also be a kind of pain.. .. consider foggy thinking that comes with some of the conditions of screwed up systems, as well.  It's not like everything is working, you are banging 10s and you just have pain.. . .you might not even be able to bang a 5 (meaning 5 fingers)..

and that could be the easy stuff.. in terms of the basics, eating, eliminating, sleeping, exercise (is that even possible?).. coordinating how to eat.. and what kinds of foods can be eaten?  steaks ?  More likely chips and cravings for icecream (and not even the good quality icecream), which is not going to help energy levels to actually eat those substances that are imitating their lil selfies as if they were actually food.....

Might not even be able to hang out on the forum - thinking too foggy, can't concentrate... and trying to figure out logistics related to "the basics".. oh and did I mention needing to clean up the living space or self (that's not really necessary, is it?) and how to pay for these things, no one really wants to help.. and surely getting a payment from someone might not even be doable because mostly there are just collectors, including the landlord who does not seem to want you either.. and how to get the food-like substances from where ever the closest mart might be to the place that you happen to be living, until the sheriff knocks.

Today is the mindrust day. One year ago, on that evil day, mindrust panic sold all his 10BTC stash for $4000 - the average price he has bought his stash. He had twice that sum in fiat, but instead of buying at these incredibly cheap prices, he decided to buy USD, monero and other shitcoins. His ghost reportedly appears still on bitcointalk topics arguing that his decision was right. To him and others fallen comrades by the poison of Peter Schiff's kinda FUD, a minute of silence.


Happy mindrust day brethren! Hodl strong!  Cool

I disagree with this way of thinking. All of us have to make our own financial decisions. Sure, his move was stupid but leave the poor guy alone. Everyone has the right to move on.

Agreed.
I did work for a company that sells gold 10 years ago before 99% of the population would have heard about Bitcoin. The arguments about the dollar going to zero were made then so to HODL gold sounded convincing by the company owners. Many bought into that and bought at the top in 2011. I didn't. Doesn't mean I should piss on the people that did and clearly hardly made any money. Some probably lost quite a bit with panic selling over the last 10 years at various stages. Furthermore selling an asset for the same amount in dollars as you bought over ten years is obviously also a loss.

And we (TINW) need to stop thinking in terms of dollars.  We (editorial “we”) know that 1 BTC = 1 BTC; but what is a dollar worth?  A dollar must be valued in sats.  We (royal “we”) therefore decree by fiat that henceforth, we shall quote sats/USD as we observe dollar sell walls.


Bitcoins value should be measured in Gold instead.

1 BTC ~ 942.322 gm
1 BTC ~ 33.239 oz

One of the most obvious similarities between gold and Bitcoin is the cap on the quantity available. Whereas fiat money can be printed into infinity, both gold and Bitcoin have specific restrictions on the amount that can be introduced into the economy. For Bitcoin, there is a 21 million bitcoin limit, As for gold, the yearly new supply is limited to around 2,500 tons.”

You mean gold should be priced in BTC, the lesser does not dictate the greater.

Acres, hectares, feet, pounds, ounces, gallons, furlongs, chains, barrels... What is wrong with you guys? Are you into BDSM?

Just use meters and grams. On their own, squared or cubed, and prefix with micro, milli, centi, kilo when needed. Simple. Easy.

And don't get me started on screw thread sizes. I had to 3D-print an imperial-sized nut the other day, which drove me crazy!

The Swedish unit of tunnland was officially surveyed and standardized in the 1630s, and set to 14,000 Swedish square ells, i.e. 56,000 Swedish square feet. One tunnland was divided into 56 kannland, 32 kappland, 6 skäppland or 2 lopsland. How is that hard to understand?



Edit: I wonder what tunn, kann, kapp, skäpp and lops mean. Must have to do with size I guess... And, are the double letters at the end necessary to join them with land? The OCD in me...

what is this "brake pedal" you speak of?
The double letters have to do with the pronunciation of the vowel in front of them, if the vowel is short the consonant afterwords is (usually) doubled.

Yes, they are smaller units of measure. A kanna for example is 2,617 liters according to the rules of 1665.
1 kanna was divide in to (for fluids) 1/48 tunna (barrel) = 2 stop = 8 kvarter = 32 jungfrur (virgins) (also called ort).
The unit was also used in Germany https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanne_(Einheit)

And skäppa is also a measure (German Scheffel, English bushel) known from the bible "candle under a bushel"

Here's some more swedish units for you to meditate over.
1 Foder = 2 Pipa (pipe) =  4 Oxhuvud (oxenhead) = 6 Fat or åm (barrel) = 12 Halvfat (halfbarrel) = 24 Ankare (anchor) = 48 Halvankare (halfanchor) = 360 Kanna = 942,12 liter

The word kanna is by the way still used today but now it just means pitcher.

And tunna means barrel, so tunnland originally meant the area of land that a farmer could seed with a barrel of grain seeds.

Edited.
  

yeah, but how many joints in a lid?

Thanks for that. Much appreciated! It's amazing how each country/culture/civilization has created different units based on their special needs and objects of reference.

Which leads us to a more pressing question:

How many tunnland of land does Bob own?  Cheesy

Well, since a tunnland and acre is about the same he has about the same amount in tunnland.

Yeah, I Googled it. Tunnland is known as a "Barrel of Land". Apparently, the name tunnland originates from the area of fields one could seed with a barrel of grain seeds. What an ingenious way to measure land!

that limit will be increased quite a bit in about 10 - 20 years.

golden asteroids mined by Musk in partnership with Nasa will make gold as common as copper.
