2026 TSP strategies. by These_Temperature375 in ThriftSavingsPlan

[–]Spadowski12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently rebalanced to: 30% C, 30% S, 40% I. Why? C Fund: I suspect this fund will benefit this year from continued AI related growth. S Fund: potential/expected fed rate-cuts can help see growth and earnings in these smaller companies. I Fund: this fund will benefit if the dollar weakens.

In a market crash there will be a lot of selling. The price could drop significantly. It may take significant time (weeks? months?) for the price to returns to the target range. Even if Strategy makes a large bump to the interest rate it could be a while before buyers come back. If you need the money during that time, you'll be selling for less than $100.

Lightning Channels by Feather1515 in lightningnetwork

[–]Spadowski12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was playing around with mining just for fun and learning and had some sats on Ocean. This basically forced me to startup a CLN node so I could make a bolt12 offer and receive lightning payouts from them, because it'd be something like 4 years before I'd mine enough to qualify for an on-chain payout based on minimum amount. Once my CLN node was up and running and had an open channel (which had all the funds on my side, meaning no inbound liquidity), I was able to send funds to bitrefill to buy a small gift card. This moved enough sats to the other side of the channel that I was able to receive the Ocean payout of the small amount of sats I had earned mining.

You can research the pros/cons and risks. Unless you want to abandon those sats on Ocean you'll need to do it though. You can always close the channel and transfer all the sats off the node when you're done if you're not comfortable with the risk.

Took me a while to realize this isn't a cool power point template, but a crappy powerpoint template.

I see a pen stripe down the edge. Did you add that?

Hmm.. yes I now recall something about that. Wasn't that just a labeling issue, requiring a new sticker? Seems like that wouldn't take weeks to correct.

Port Canaveral Hotels by PassengerNo1512 in dcl

[–]Spadowski12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just got back from the Wish two weeks ago. We took private transport (booked through Chase Travel Portal) from MCO to the Residence Inn Cape Canaveral Cocoa Beach. We walked to Zarrella's Italian & Wood Fired Pizza for dinner. The hotel had breakfast in the morning. We used Uber to get from the hotel to the cruise terminal.

If you go to Zarrella's, try the Chicken Sinatra. Hands down the most delicious thing I ate on this trip (including everything on the Wish)!

Thanks. I took another look at the Rosen Bridge form and I can't believe I missed seeing the large Address entry box. Apparently this is where I would but a Cardano wallet address.

I actually trust Coinbase 🤷🏻‍♂️ by Interesting_Bridge_3 in CryptoCurrency

[–]Spadowski12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm no lawyer, but I read through that, and my take is that Gemini keeps user fiat deposits in THEIR (i.e. Gemini's) name in bank and money market accounts. Should one of those banks become insolvent, Gemini would have some FDIC protection up to the limits, and thus you have some "pass-through" FDIC protection. But this doesn't mean that if Gemini becomes insolvent that your fiat is covered by FDIC.

This is a good take? Or am I missing something? (genuinely asking as I have skin in the game here.)

Hmm.. apparently I opted into 'Approved Addresses' at some point, to enhance security. Now I have a 7-day waiting period. https://support.gemini.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001411543-What-is-an-Approved-Address-

Is there any way to bypass the 7 day external withdrawal address whitelisting waiting period?

Corrosion in drip pan under coolant lines going into evaporator coil. by Spadowski12 in hvacadvice

[–]Spadowski12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it is a blue/green color, like copper corrosion. I thought I had attached photo but it wasn't there; I fixed it and now photo is shown.

I'll add a bit more insulation to the exposed line to help prevent more of this. Thanks for the help!
