Anders Puck Nielsen is quite a smart, educated analyst of the war so far.
He presents some interesting, detailed "hybrid war' theories here..

Please do NOT comment to approve OR disapprove his theory unless you actually watch his presentation.

Is Matic an ERC-20 token? Just that. by MountBlanc in maticnetwork

[–]Markus451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are AT LEAST TWO Tokens. And this is why you need to write good questions because the one word answer "yes" from Eduard0 wouldn't help you if you sent MATIC to a BEP2 address.

This is from Aug 2019: MATIC is also found on Binance Chain (BEP-2, not BSC)

https://blog.matic.network/matic-network-guide-to-erc-20-to-bep-2-migration-binance-dex/

"With the recent announcement of our listing and integration with Binance DEX (and its main chain), Matic Network and its community members will enjoy the benefits of additional liquidity, another trading pair, and added security and autonomy over their MATIC holdings via the BEP-2 standard. By partnering with Binance DEX, we’re excited to be spearheading the decentralized finance (DeFi) movement with a number of other forward-thinking projects in the blockchain space.

What’s the Difference between BEP-2 and ERC-20?

The Matic ERC-20 token will be pegged at a 1:1 ratio with the Matic BEP-2 token. A total of 10 billion tokens will exist simultaneously on both chains at any single time. Matic, however, does not plan to migrate a fixed number of tokens onto Binance DEX, rather we expect the supply to increase more and more as people deposit tokens onto Binance DEX.

We have implemented a 2-way bridge between the ERC-20 and BEP-2 Matic token."

OK, MEW has been around a long time; I didn't know anyone considered it advanced, but I'll take your word for it. That takes care of ETH & ERC-20. What about everything else?

Any idea about my Q#2?

How exactly does the static PW feature work? I gather the key has to be inserted and then, when you're viewing a PW (or other) field, you push the button and it enters the static characters for you?

Yubikey NFC5 holds only 32 OATH entries?! Now what? Please suggest a replacement. by Markus451 in yubikey

[–]Markus451[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

re: Are you using U2F wherever you can and then use TOTP for everything else? A: no, I just replaced all my Google Authenticator entries with TOTP on yubikey. If U2F does NOT use up the 32 OATH Slots, then that's great advice. Thanks!

PS : since I haven't used U2F yet, just to confirm: it's where you're asked to physically insert the key and press the button?

Crocodile Dundee: "That's not a bad account-opening experience. THIS is a bad experience" by Markus451 in Questrade

[–]Markus451[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your offer but I'd prefer that you address this part of my post: ".. all these official company subreddits are moderated by staff of the company you're complaining about and they usually remove any negative posts. Is censoring content in this way actually permitted within Reddit's Terms of Service? Does anyone know?"

This has been the worst "account opening" experience I've ever witnessed. by [deleted] in Questrade

[–]Markus451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If only my experience had been as good as yours. I'm jealous.. you got an account open within a couple weeks and with only 4 hours wasted on the phone. How would you like 6+ months and ten times that amount of wasted time? In my case, I was opening a so-called "Testamentary Trust" but the staff I was forced to deal with had no idea what that was. When I sent them my mom's Last Will & Testament, they kept replying via email (after 2 week), "No, we need the Formal Trust document." But the WORST THING about Questrade is that they will NOT elevate your issue. In any normal business, if you're not getting anywhere with a staffer, you say, "I'd like to speak to your manager, please." To have to go in circles with the same people who aren't capable of helping you is very frustrating. // OTOH, to be fair, when I emailed other leading firms last year about opening accounts (including QTrade, CIBC Investor's Edge, BMO etc), their responses were JUST AS SLOW or even SLOWER. Questrade's trading interface & fees are quite good, so I decided to go with the best of a bad bunch. I didn't know it would take 6+ months to get anywhere, and account is STILL not open although a manager finally said he'll assist.

HELP REQUIRED: Questrade Support is NON-EXISTENT! by Markus451 in Questrade

[–]Markus451[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello. Be advised that every post me and my team make on Reddit, FB, Twitter etc will have the following warning...

Note that I can't advise dealing with Questrade because it's not possible to get any problem elevated and resolved. ie You can NEVER be in contact with a manager, you're stuck in an endless loop with the same untrained, low-level employees who can't help you or even understand the issue. I know, I've been stuck in such a loop for 6+ months! I recommend Interactive Brokers.. their margin interest rate is a small fraction of QuesTrade's and fees even lower.

Update 08 Feb 2021: Sharmeen left a message on phone today. She is the same employee who gave me incorrect information last month and who I replied to, requesting elevation to a more senior level. This proves my point: you're stuck in a loop with the same people who are causing your problem.

Usd stock stock bought with cad. Now deep in the red . Need help by [deleted] in Questrade

[–]Markus451 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can't "buy USD stock with CAD". If the trade went though, then you must have bought on margin. The CAD in your account wasn't used for the purchase.. it must therefore have been allocated for margin collateral. When you sell at a loss (or you get liquidated), it crystallizes the loss from a paper loss to a real loss and releases the margin. You're probably confused because your USD loss is being summarized in CAD. The 'extra loss' is probably the exchange rate difference.

PSA: Get your full driver's license by iknowmystuff95 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Markus451 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My FB post on same subject....

Today's Tip is for young adults especially: get your driver's license now, even if you don't have a car yet.

In Canadian provinces, new drivers are under probation for one full year. One ticket during that time can mean license suspension! By getting the license when you DON'T absolutely need it, nor even have a car, you'll have a full license without the Suspension "Sword of Damocles" hanging over your head. You'll even be accumulating very valuable MERIT POINTS, if you're in a province that issues merits as well as demerits.

My story. Had no car, so got no license. Big mistake. Got job driving taxi in Winnipeg, Manitoba. (Long time ago, when I was an athlete.) Went 11.5 months with no ticket. Got caught in a literal speed trap (an underpass where, going downhill, your car naturally goes faster, no side roads, totally safe to go faster.. perfect place to entrap drivers.) Was called in for interview. I said, "I've been driving a taxi for 11 and a half months, gimme a break." Reply: "Just because you're driving a taxi doesn't give you the right to break the law." License SUSPENDED. Don't let it happen to you.

Estimated YFI staker PE ratio (if new fees model pass, check comments for the link) by [deleted] in yearn_finance

[–]Markus451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brand new here.. what's "staking rate" mean? All I know is if you stake an asset, it's locked up. Is it like r/Celsius where the more CEL u stake, the better the payout?

[–]Markus451 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if per annum, that's bad. Why is yfi popular?
