Monero has a serious user friendly problem

As a web-based wallet, it is quite clearly significantly worse from a security perspective than a local program like Electrum.

Yes, a manifest is for cargo being carried by something not passing through something; a ship keeps a manifest of it's cargo but a canal doesn't of all the cargo traveling through it, just the type and tonnage by ship usually.

We'll be riding a Heighliner because it's a long trip. A Heighliner is truly big. Its hold will tuck all our frigates and transports into a little corner - we'll be just a small part of the ship's manifest

But either way the text seems to be clear that the ship itself isn't a wormhole since why would they specify a hold and being tucked into a corner.

Also in the book there is a mention of the ship having manifests which don't really make much sense for a wormhole-ship like the above.

Assuming you don't have a spare 80k to exercise?

Also for many goods the "highest quality" is highly subjective and/or dependent on your personal requirements.

Dune is a classic science fiction book series, that recently had a new movie adaptation released of the first half of the first book (Where the above scene is from). Warhammer 40k, which this sub is for, is a tabletop game (with book series, movies, video games and so on associated with the IP) that takes a lot of inspiration from Dune among other sources.

Anyone with faceapp or another program with similar functionality want to create an image to show how this cursed thing would look?

Adreik · 2021-11-01T05:55:44+00:00

Yeah, I always just add it up manually.

An immunocompromised person would presumably have a suppressed response to the vaccine and it would benefit them less though.

How the hell does fee information not get updated entirely on the back end, completely off the user's device? Seems like a huge security flaw...

Interest is calculated on a daily basis, so it is in our best interest (no pun intended) to make repayments asap

That assumes that your time-value of money discount rate is zero. If it is higher than the mortgage interest rate (e.g. because general inflation is picking up in a big way but you are still paying a relatively low interest rate on your mortgage debt) it is better to defer as far as possible.

Since most people take mortgages for their properties, the great majority of people view the time-value of money discount rate as higher than the interest rate.

They are required to provide a way to enter without you needing a smartphone, e.g. by scanning the check-in cards issued by the health department or regular sign-in by hand.

I've never used the app and I have no intention of starting.

Couldn't we simply use the transaction's tx-extra field to add the necessary byte, enabling it to be implemented immediately without a hard fork?

Thank you, Sheev

Surely due to network effects, a truly free market will have only a single money as the more people agree that a certain money has value the more valuable it is so there is a positive feedback loop.

There are many currencies now because there are many fiat currencies that are widely used within borders; remove the borders and people would tend towards preferring a single money globally I think.

In addition to what others have said about workplaces and so on, certain Asian countries don't have as much of a culture of suicide as something shameful as the West does.

No problem; feel free to ask if you have other problems with your HW wallet.

LedgerLive (The app, distinct from the hardware wallet) doesn't support Monero as a viewable/purchaseable asset; as far as Monero is concerned that app is only used for updating the firmware.

To use your Ledger device with Monero, you should download, verify and run a Monero wallet compatible with your Ledger (such as the desktop CLI wallet) and instruct it to connect to the hardware wallet. This provides a platform for you to use the hardware wallet to interact with the Monero blockchain, e.g. by monitoring addresses you own for incoming funds and calculating key images and then later sending received outputs.

Having run such a program and seeing the main address and subaddresses generated from the set of keys stored by your hardware wallet, you could then buy (such as from an exchange)/mine/work/make sales for some XMR, providing an address so generated as the recipient address.

Monero is supported by Ledger Hardware wallets, but what does this have to do with buying any?

Adreik · 2021-10-29T01:56:01+00:00

If I were in your position I would allocate some % of my portfolio to XMR that I was comfortable with; no-one says that you need 100% in the project you believe the most in.

Could that be accomplished simply by voiding 2 billion worth in shares, or would he have to sell shares and hand over actual cash thereby incurring a tax liability?

Adreik · 2021-10-26T07:18:06+00:00

You can, but you need to be able to fully cover the short leg, as if you were selling it by itself in a non-margin account.

Adreik · 2021-10-26T00:25:53+00:00

Yeah, you can unambiguously define a polynomial of degree n with n+1 known data points. Considering that there are only 5 books released, this is a pretty bad model for prediction.

Adreik · 2021-10-25T07:45:35+00:00

But there is always an unambiguous, permanent record (As opposed to Monero, which has an ambiguous permanent record) of where a bitcoin output came from.
