There are 65535 ports, some of them are standard, or reserved, like http (web, port 80) and https (web secure, port 443). Instead of "program" you refer to a communicating software like web servers as a "service".


Sorry for being a total smartass, but I can't resist any further  Grin

To be correct there are twice 65k ports, each UDP and TCP.
And since I am being an asshat already, it is 65536 ports, 65535 is just the highest port, but we computer people start counting at 0.

Man who stares at charts (and stars, too...)
Lets start with explaining what a port is.
I always thought that a port is those things that you plug your USB cable into, but I get the sense that I might be wrong.

Arrie, since i owe you a computer lesson, here we go:

There are two types of "ports" for input/output: hardware ports (like usb, serial, network...) and ports of software, like a webserver.
So to get data in and out over a network, you need at least one port on each of the two computers. With streaming services, you can even broadcast one-to-many through a single port on the streaming server.
There are 65535 ports, some of them are standard, or reserved, like http (web, port 80) and https (web secure, port 443). Instead of "program" you refer to a communicating software like web servers as a "service".

Remotely identifying which services (software) are running on a remote computer is one of the first steps in preparing an attack. It's like this:
1. identify services
2. identify unsecured services
3. find vulnerabilities of these services (bugs)
4. exploit these bugs and get access.

To identify a service, you just connect to the certain port with a tool like "netcat".
If there is a response, some bytes or a service header like "...apache http server...", you know that there is this specific software running on the machine, so you can take more steps to find out the version of apache server and look up exploitable vulnerabilities, or even try to find your own, undiscovered bugs to attack the service and possibly gain system wide administrative access.

A port scan is just automating this process and scan all 65k ports to identify the "open" ones, put out a list of all open port numbers and header messages. These headers often show the software/service name and version.

Hope i'm free of debt now, finally and no one else gave you this lesson before  Grin

[...] $9800 resistance should be too strong as the bulls are missing the firepower  Smiley


Bulls have unlimited dollars while bears have limited bitcoins. Few understand this, but those who do are sitting comfortably.

True, but don't forget about fractional reserve: do you believe every exchange plays by the rules by maintaining a full reserve? This is not the case and in fact by looking at the amount of BTC that are leaving exchanges this is becoming a big thing.
But as you said, one day people will realize that their infinite dollars will not be able to buy limited bitcoins. Wink


I agree that the exchanges are cheating, fractional reserves, front running, probably even allowing naked shorting to large whale members (or the house). But with even more fraction reserves they will attract the wrong type of attention, and true deep pocket whales with unlimited fiat will show up to rekt their tarders in a coordinated effort. The Bart moves and mega short squeezes will only get more intense.

Now with the discussions between gold, bitcoin, many expect bitcoin at $ 12k, it is very likely that it will happen in the short term, many are taking this possibility into account and demand has been increasing.




Quote
On-chain data reveals that the number of investors who are using Bitcoin as a store of value is indeed growing at an exponential rate.


Quote
Over the past year, the Bitcoin supply across different exchanges has dropped by more than 28%. It went from 135,000 BTC to just over 97,000 BTC today.

I think all the bear trolling and attempts at scamming around Bitcoin is super weird. Go to any Precious Metals web forum and you never see bugs talking about TA charts, elliott waves, when to buy, when to sell, trying to call bottoms/tops, blah blah blah.

Interesting observation.

Gold bugs are more at the preserving wealth stage. Coiners largely at the earlier hustling-to-get-wealth stage.

The majority of the bugs I've seen on PM forums are self-admitted millennial age range, which blows a large hole in your statement.

Unless you mean crypto tarders... who are in the hustling-to-go-broke stage.



hmmmm, that's odd, when I was active on the Kitco forum, and later on AgStackers, admittedly 10 years ago, it was a bunch of old farts

I don’t doubt your experience, Torque, but mine, over the years, has been much more in line with jojo’s.

However, I made no mention of age and it’s not what I’m talking about. In trying to be concise I was perhaps unclear. I think bugs, psychologically, are more interested in hanging on to what they’ve got. That stage of user will come to bitcoin, but is not yet predominant. At the moment we have more hustlers, who hope to become wealthy, despite as you say (and I agree) that trading is likely to lead to losses.

Very behind on thread, will catch up.
Apologies to xhomerx10
I would never normally share a pm, but I trust this one is okay.
Apologies to BobLawblaw who yet again has to scroll past vegeta or goku or whatever on earth all this cartoon stuff is.
Apologies to all thread for yesterday's oversized boobs, will try harder.

Is there any Goku/Vegeta related cap around that no one owns anymore? I'd love to wear one from now on.

No vegetasss hmzzzz Sad

I swear imma find a way to cut a bitch over the internet... Enough with the Vegeta's already. I agree.

We need a new meme.

I might be able to hook you up but the cost has increased exponentially.

Wow! It seems like Vegeta is losing respect in here.

I'd love to have a hat of Legendary Broly then; however, get it done only if you've free time. If you're not free, I'll try to design one myself (though I must admit that I'm no longer very good with Photoshop anymore).

 Today was my only day off work this week and I ran out of time but I did manage to find a previous over 9k hat that isn't in use at the moment.

this should be pinned. or stickied, whatever the term is.

There once was a coiner, whose name was mindrust,
He posted in WO, and gained our trust.
But little did he know,
He would suffer a blow,
When he did the unthinkable, and sold all his stash!

Even r0ach would agree that this move was quite baffling,
It's Bitcoin 101, you just don't sell pre-Halving.
But his mind was all rusted,
It was Masterluc he trusted,
So he blindly followed his all-bearish rumbling!

He blames COVID-19 for his panic reaction,
"Armageddon is coming, I just had to take action."
Now his Bitcoins are sold,
He is turning to gold,
In a desperate attempt to get some satisfaction.

Many WO'ers advised him to buy back some corn,
But he just couldn't live with the thought of being wrong.
Now he hears of Bitcoin,
And gets a pain in his groin,
Because deep down he knows, that his chance is now gone!

I know that those limericks are shitty as hell,
And I know that Jimbo's shit, as everyone's, smell.
I just hope that they serve,
To help us all keep our nerve,
And never ever give in to the pressure to sell!

And if all of the above hasn't made you, mindrust,
Reconsider, and quickly get some corn in your stash,
It won't be r0aches or ants,
At the seat of your pants,
But the boot of a HoDLer kicking your stubborn fat ass!
