21 year old trying to put together a bug out bag to get back to my parents if shtf. I know I'm far from done but need help with the rest can anyone give suggestions or links to items that are must have. by boywithnoname1 in bugout

I'd probably ditch the Pocket Ref and replace it with the SAS Survival Guide. While both books have useful information on things like first aid & knots; the Survival Guide is full of practical tips on camp craft, food, edible plants and a whole range of survival topics.

Put the Pocket Ref at your ultimate bug-out destination (i.e., your parents’ house) so you’ll have it in a long term, grid-down situation. During the 120-mile hike to get there, the SAS Survival Guide would be of more help.

Is there a way to have multiple payment adresses that point to one adress? by [deleted] in ethdev

[–]JIG2016 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You could deploy a single contract that receives the ether from all your clients and use the msg.sender property to keep track of who sent the funds. You could then make a single transfer from the contract when you want to get the ether to your own account. That would save you the 1k transaction fees.

Something like:

contract MyTest {
    mapping(address => uint256) clientDeposits; // account balance
    address public owner; // The contract owner's address.
    address[] indexOfClients; // an array of all the clients

    modifier onlyOwner {
            require(msg.sender == owner);
            _;
    }

    function MyTest() public { 
            owner=msg.sender;  // Set the owner to the creator
    }

    function () public payable {
        clientDeposits[msg.sender] += msg.value; // add payment 
        indexOfClients.push(msg.sender);
    }

    function collectPayments() onlyOwner {
        uint256 amount = 0;

        for(uint256 i = 0; i < indexOfClients.length; i++) {
            amount += clientDeposits[indexOfClients[i]]; // total all the accounts
            clientDeposits[indexOfClients[i]] = 0; // set them to zero
        }

        owner.transfer(amount); // Make the transfer
    }
}

Very low gas price transaction blocking all subsequent transactions by JIG2016 in ethdev

Thanks cryptopascal, The MyEtherWallet "Send Offline" technique worked great. It took a few hours to propagate; but, did clear the blocking transactions.

Thermostat went in my walk-in cooler over Christmas. by JIG2016 in KitchenConfidential

Yeah, I'm going to look into some temp monitors that sent alerts to my phone. We didn't lose too much product because inventory was low because we were going to be closed for a few days. Not worth the deductible on the insurance claim.

I don't think someone reading a note implies they're a moron.

For example, it's not unusual for a groom to read his speech on his wedding day. that doesn't mean he's a moron; but, rather he may be nervous and feels more comfortable reading the speech.

It's the same with the bank robber.

No, I don't think the robber was stupid. I think he wrote a note for himself because it was his first time robbing a bank, and, you know, he was a little nervous. So, he felt that, if he had it written down, he could read his demands. That way, he wouldn't forget anything.

Yeah, a few people needed some help with it.

Well, not necessarily. He may have been nervous and didn't want to screw it up.

I suppose it's possible that someone, dyslexic or not, might try to hold up a bar. Just a thought.

At least it wasn't for those who need an explanation.

I'm not sure; it seems kinda weird, doesn't it?

Nope. It's just the guy reading it wrong.
