...wat?
also, why would being at slush mean you get nothing? you just mean the whole pooled mining situation generally or is there an issue with slush?

Quick question: I'm doing some side mining with a rebuilt S9 I got for nothing. Checked the stats page and it says foundblocks=1.
Did this thing solve a block? Sure I'm at Slush, so I get zilch, but if so that would be an unusual thing....

Well slush found a block about 4 hours ago. Is that the time frame? Congratulations!

By the way:
This week i was up for a visit to the bank. A bank of which i am not a customer of.
As i don't really want to keep my seeds and (future) paper wallets at home, i asked for the price of a safe and if the contents are insured an all.
Mr. bankster asked me about the value and physical size of the entities i plan to put in there, so i said it would be foldable paper and a handful of items of the size of a matchbox. When he asked me for the value, which determines price and insurance, i said it is volatile in value and it might be anything between x1 (by current btc price) and x100 or even more in the next 30-50 years. So Mr. bankster said he has to contact his boss, who is the local manager of the safe, who in turn should call me on the same afternoon for speaking about details and possibilities.
I never heard of them again, no call from either of the two.
Well, this leaves me with the impression that safes seem to be a pain in the ass for banks (or this bank only, idk).
I found it quite unfair to base the price to rent a safe on the value of the content. Insurance, yes, that didn't surprise me that much. Seems like they out the amount which was estimated the value of the safe contents for. I can't just pay only for the safe and insurance covers the value of all that's in it, in case of physical desctruction, theft and loss.

Bank safes are not for the storage of valuables.
It’s in the terms and conditions. I kid you not.
Also the #1 way to lose bitcoins is to have a passphrase that is not written down.
Best way is to split the seed into 2 parts and store multiple copies into multiple geographically separated locations, preferably offshore or at least at the other end of the country.

No need for a safe. With Bitcoin, you are the bank! Just follow these simple steps:
1. Get a Trezor or Ledger.
2. Initialize it and write down the recovery seed.
3. Use an additional passphrase and keep it in your head (don't write it down).
4. Transfer your coins to that wallet (seed + passphrase).
5. Store the seed (but not the passphrase) in 3-4 separate places.
6. Done! Your coins are more secure than any vault in Zürich.
That's the beauty of Bitcoin. Being non-physical has its perks!
Now, try do this with gold or silver...
Additionally, if i suddenly leave this life, i want my children and wife to take over the wallets. There will be trouble with the passphrase, i guess.
Keep your seed in several locations under your control only. Keep the passphrase with several family members but never written with the seed.
Sleep easy knowing it would likely take calculated and direct efforts to compromise both locations to reveal the private key.
Late Edit: AlcoHoDL's advice above is likely the most secure option but probably too much for the average Hodl that does not have hundreds of thousands or millions in coin to safeguard. Most anyone who will be robbed will also have been targeted and likely with some knowledge of the amount of holdings they are after.
I don't however agree with HairyMaclairy in separation of seed words for the simple reason of 2 possible sources needing to remain secure.
Jupiter troll post below this made me lol.
Sorry to hear about your finger.
I've done one of mine many years ago in a box and pan break. No fun

Bitcoin is anti-Keynesian technology.

He's a complete moron. All currencies - of which Bitcoin is one - are Keynesian in nature. Currencies are garbage, confidence game scams based on artificial scarcity. They start at a value of zero, are rigged above zero in some manner either by governments or some other market manipulation but are still just as worthless as their first day of creation, then always eventually return back to zero once the confidence game implodes. This is why actual money, as opposed to currency, is required to be a physical commodity resource, because those aren't confidence game scams.
You are the moron. Bitcoin is not only the first truly finite currency, it is actually the only truly finite commodity a human can own other than time.
That was the dumbest lie from desperate pump and dump scammers I've ever read on this entire forum. "The only truly finite commodity" in the universe! It doesn't even qualify as a commodity in the first place, but it's the only finite one! Great joke!
As per the definition of Bitcoin from more well-known cryptoscammers such as Antonopolous, in his own words "Bitcoins don't exist". Yes, that's a direct quote. He claims it's a network and the 'coins', which don't exist don't even matter; that if they die or become outlawed, somehow people will bootstrap another 'coin' on the same "network". So back to the original point, what the fuck is this "commodity" that you speak of? The coins aren't a commodity because they don't exist. All that exists are temporary, meaningless, valueless timestamps that can even be overwritten. No commodity exists to speak of involving Bitcoin.
I am only replying to you because the concepts are important to people who ARE able to understand why Bitcoin is an invention about as novel as we will see in our lifetimes. I do not care whether you agree or disagree with me because you are a disaster.
First of all I should have said that bitcoin is the only truly MEANINGFUL finite commodity in the universe a human can own. I suppose I tripped up your autism a little making a bit of a hyperbolic statement with some assumption that I would not have to explain the finer points. I think most people get it. Certainly there are a finite number of hydrogen atoms (and gold for that matter) but one of the things that makes bitcoin unique is WE KNOW exactly how much there is, and how much there ever will be. That makes it particularly unique and potentially extremely valuable.
And your assertion that it is not a commodity. I understand your confusion here since it is entirely conceptual. And conceiving something is beyond your ability.
Nakamoto discovered a way we can PROVE that a single person has ownership over an abstract concept.
I get why that short circuits the pickled turd that you use as a brain.
It is certainly a new idea in that it is a commodity that can be owned, claimed, and traded without taking up any space, without having weight, and being transmittable worldwide at the speed of light.
Again I understand why this is unacceptable in your curdled, boxed in worldview, especially in light that you know deep down that you have rejected what will end up becoming the biggest revolution of this century by far, dwarfing even the technology that enabled it to exist (the Internet).
It is good for those of us who can actually see what Bitcoin is because there are enough people like you that it has not COMPLETELY exploded in anticipation of the value that is all but inevitable for it.
I cannot keep talking to you, because it hurts my soul, and I apologize to the WOs for getting tricked by this weasel. Hopefully the concepts have some value.

Other sensory challenges including that crooked candelabra and game of thrones chair of his every video makes it impossible to not feel completely repulsed well before he opens his mouth.
Interesting. Both of those elements were instrumental in my sexual awakening.
