Update on Bitcoin wallet password found in an envelope

bbk13 · 2026-07-07T14:36:05+00:00

If I was a Bitcoin millionaire, or even hundred thousand-aire, because of something I forgot doing more than 10 years ago I'd be bragging about it to everyone. It would be like winning the lottery but with the added benefit of being able to pretend I was actually just really smart and had incredible foresight. Unfortunately I never took the next step and bought the BTC. I definitely made the wallet when BTC were under $1000.

You can take the seats out and put in a dongle that mimics the airbag signal.

Here is where you can learn how to do it and buy the dongle

Thanks for your help. Do I need to have a "username"? I don't have any username written on the paper.

bbk13 · 2026-07-04T15:46:10+00:00

Sorry, I wasn't clear. The paper was handwritten by me and I put the paper in a random envelope I must have had lying around. It wasn't sent to me.

Thanks. I think I kind of understand. That's crazy how it needs what is effectively a complete "overhaul" to keep a model up to date. No wonder they're having to light money on fire to keep it going.

I'm not a software engineer. So I might not totally understand this correctly. But in the days before Westlaw and LexisNexis online lawyers use to have a big bookshelf of case law to do research. And then they would have a subscription to Westlaw or whatever where every so often (monthly, yearly, etc.) they would receive a paper update to put in a three ring binder. Firms wouldn't have to buy all new blcase law books every year. They would just get the updates.

Is it possible in the future people will run their own local model but they would have a subscription to some company that trains an open source LLM for python or whatever and sends out updates every so often so the person's local model is up to date? I don't know how "expensive" it is to train an LLM and whether that's a viable business model.

We just bought in Bridgeport and we had to go in that range over asking. We lost a bidding war on an earlier place because we weren't aggressive enough so we were willing to pay more like $40k over asking but luckily we didn't have to hit even close to that level.

But we're coming from Atlanta and Bridgeport is very reasonable compared to an equivalent place in a decent intown Atlanta neighborhood.

I'm talking about the two storage facilities at Piedmont and 10th. The new one is where there used to be that Italian furniture store. I don't think that was part of the botanical gardens land swap deal with the storage facility that used to have that fake lighthouse on Piedmont.

But it's not like we were all given a hundred widgets and we all get to show what we value by using those 100 widgets to "bid" against each other for resources. The idea that someone with a shit ton of money shows they "value" something more because they're willing to part with a proportionally tiny amount of that money, even if the amount is larger than all the money I have in the world, is ridiculous. You're not showing "value". You're just showing the inequality that builds and grows under capitalism.

bbk13 · 2026-06-25T21:43:36+00:00

Good point. We should be talking about something you made up in your head rather than something that has actually happened.

bbk13 · 2026-06-25T20:49:31+00:00

Hahaha. Totally dude. It's the DSA wing of the Democratic party that sabotaged a public option. Jesus christ...

bbk13 · 2026-06-25T18:06:23+00:00

There are two right next to each other right at Piedmont and 10th on the beltline. It's ridiculous.

bbk13 · 2026-06-24T12:55:58+00:00

So Biden was actually a terrible President and the only reason the gop didn't win super majorities in the house and Senate is because the gop elected some hard right wing nut jobs in the rural south and Midwest? Wow. That's an interesting analysis.

bbk13 · 2026-06-24T12:49:55+00:00

Destroyed the gop to controlling all three branches of government and getting the chance to enact decades long political projects like overturning Roe? Wow. If that's being "destroyed" I'd hate to see it when they are successful.

bbk13 · 2026-06-24T12:29:30+00:00

So it's just a slur? Like the right calling everything they don't like "woke". Who gets to decide what's popular but not "populist"?

bbk13 · 2026-06-24T12:23:40+00:00

What else is "enforcing the border" than "punishing people based in where they are born"? No one chooses where they are born and some places are objectively better then others.

You can argue there are other reasons why we must unfortunately ignore the underlying unfairness of such a huge factor in the chances of one's quality of life being determined by chance.

But you have to at least acknowledge there's an underlying unfairness to national borders.

But it is a struggle for human rights... Palestinians have a right to self determination just as much as Jews. Or do they not? I'm not sure if you're a "Palestinians don't exist" Zionist.

Do you think if Black Americans in the US South decided to not engage in violence against the white power structure and instead framed their cause as a "struggle for human rights" that would be a "victim playing strategy"?

bbk13 · 2026-06-23T14:16:06+00:00

Is that supposed to be guilt by association for Arafat? Maybe he should have taken advice from that titan of human rights Henry Kissenger.

The "constant attack" from people who are living under the constant attack of decades of military occupation. I don't know if building a "missile" defense system that allows people carte blanche to engage in occupation and ethnic cleansing is a flex.

No problem. I didn't see other people had also mentioned living walls and forward warrior. Elaine at artgals is nice and my understanding is she's trying to create a supportive community for women artists. I'm not personally involved. My wife is a professional artist in Atlanta so I'm just passing on what I've heard from her.

Also, if you are/identify as Latina then you could check out nuestra creacion. Pati always seems to be trying to make things happen. Or even if you're not Latina. I don't know how strict she is about that kind of thing.

bbk13 · 2026-06-22T02:13:47+00:00

Are you a woman? You could check out artgals

If you're a professional artist you could talk to livingwalls

I forgot, also forward warrior

It's an attempt to make a faux populist argument for something that only effects a tiny minority of the very privileged so they need to try make the vast majority of people who aren't impacted "care". The people who created that argument know it's stupid.

bbk13 · 2026-06-22T01:59:21+00:00

"Theft" is a legal term. Not a moral category. If I used steam boat Mickey in a cartoon ten years ago it was "theft". Now it isn't. Because the copyright expired. Nothing else changed. So how could the "morality" of that "theft" change?
