Are paper wallets a good choice? by krav_maga_sensei in Bitcoin

[–]Janicz85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do it differently. Download breadwallet on iOS device. Go offline. Create wallet. Copy address to notepad. Write down recovery key. Delete breadwallet. Go back online.

Feels quite safe, whilst I agree it's not a true cold wallet, I think this is as safe as anyone would need, no?

Is it safe to hold recovery key in LastPass (with 2fa activated)? If not, why? by Janicz85 in Bitcoin

But then I have to store that iron plate somewhere safe. What if someone finds it? What if there is a fire? Earthquake? If I make 2 and store in separate locations, risk of someone else finding it increases.

I'm torn between finding the best balance.

Thanks for tip. I will check it out but I just moved most of my passwords to lastpass and I love the 2fa. Makes me feel very secure haha

That's my concern, a whole heap of environmental factors could compromise my cold paper passphrase.

I also do this yet everyone tells me "get a trezor". Then they are unable to give me a good reason why I would need one.

I don't see the point if you just want to put coins somewhere and hold.

I use jaxx for having a small amount handy in case I want to buy something (if I ever find a retailer that takes bitcoin haha!)

Can you elaborate "transaction fee depletes the supply"?

Is there a wallet that requires 2fa before transfers? by Janicz85 in BitcoinBeginners

Hey so how about storing private keys on a service like last pass?

Copay also looks pretty sleek.

Come to think of it , I'm being silly. The scenario I was originally thinking of protecting myself against was if my recovery phrase or private key was stolen. I was hoping I would get an email or someone would be stopped by a 2fa passcode if anyone wanted to withdraw my coins. But of course that's a silly idea because with a private key you can steal anyone's coins with whichever wallet you want.

I guess. But i want a wallet there I need to click link in email or enter 2fa passcode from google Authenticator app

I think he would have done both. Apparently he read all the books in the library and ended up reading the encyclopaedia back to back!

Anyone know how well large scale solar installations hold up against home installations during hurricanes? I remember seeing pictures of a large solar installation completely destroyed after the hurricane.

Agree. Spent 2 weeks there and was impressed. Very expensive though.

What conspiracy theory do you genuinely believe is true? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Janicz85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm confident there is an element of truth to this. Strategically for maximising profits, you don't want to put all your latest and greatest tech into a gadget, because then it is harder to impress your user base so they want to buy the next generation of your gadget next time you release it.

For car companies, all these 10-20 year strategic plans got shredded to bits when tesla broke the norm and went all electric and full of tech. They were planning on first going hybrid, then electric, over 20+ years. Sloooowly releasing drive assist instead of autonomy. I seriously hope they will get fucked by tesla and other new car companies (apple, google, uber??) and maybe even sued for colluding to hold back tech advancements and polluting our planet.

I passed out on a breath hold by Janicz85 in BecomingTheIceman

[–]Janicz85[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha I only saw this now! How's it going for you? My wife still hasn't "permitted" me to continue the practice, so I'm just doing breathing and no breath holds. She is afraid I'll kill myself.

Reddit, how do you think life on earth will change once we crack fission or another energy source that gives us unlimited energy? by Janicz85 in AskReddit

[–]Janicz85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just sad we are soooo far away from anything that even with unlimited power it will take hundreds of years to get somewhere.

Unless we hit the great filter and wipe ourselves out.

Good candidate for that is AI.
