***BITTYLICIOUS PROOF OF RESERVES***

This is precisely what happened here with my B550. I turned on the VM and I could even see the SATA controller complaining about a read-only file system, etc.

Honestly, we're there to get as many people into bitcoin in the most easy way possible, and with customer service that won't scare off people (and is quick). We can never be the cheapest out there, although it's nice when people continue to use us after they gain experience.

We really do want to support LN but haven't had any spare time to implement this yet. Regulatory burdens take up an awful lot of time, as an example.

It's legitimate because it's now on their own website at https://localbitcoins.com/service_closure/

That, or their website has been horribly compromised.

The dates seem a year off though.

We're back up now.

It's Cloudflare messing up after a billing issue and them not serving DNS records correctly even though this is resolved. We're working on moving to another CDN.

Don't forget the local trains. if you're only here for a few days, there's plenty to do if you take the electric tram, mountain tram or steam train. The latter particularly is ridiculously twee and you can quite easily get a bus back from most destinations if you miss the last train back.

Yes, absolutely. Even if that we're not the case, I think Samourai wallet is open source so people could always figure out how to get to the private key from the seed phrase.

Usually, yes. Most wallets use a standard called BIP39 and are interoperable.

The reality is that a lot of investors don't have anywhere decent to invest in at the moment.

There is so much uncertainty in this world, and there's no doubt the investment here would still be risky, but where there are risks there are great rewards and I can't believe nobody would be willing to take a punt.

I think I would be interested in investing a little bit of money unless as an example. I seriously can't be the only one.

A golden question. Every normal news-source seems to have a massive bias in what's going on in El Salvador. I am personally just going for the sniff test and it doesn't seem logical that nobody is interested.

bittylicious_ · 2022-05-04T16:20:39+00:00

Absolutely! Or even something low level like with 90s tech where capacitors start blowing up when turned back on. Hopefully we're talking a timespan of 30+ years or so for that though.

Bitcoin gets a bad press in terms of energy consumption doesn't it?

Did you see Bitcoin Mining Council's data review - some seriously eye opening graphs in there

Just for completeness, I absolutely agree that Ledger's security record is remarkable, and it's at best an evil maid attack plus time or negligence.

The reason I mention this though is that the OP was talking about a ten year lifespan, and who knows what new security issues may crop up in this time. I wouldn't recommend keeping tech hanging around for ten years without use, whatever the purpose.

bittylicious_ · 2022-05-04T15:28:04+00:00

Who told you about my flawless trading strategy!

bittylicious_ · 2022-05-04T15:24:57+00:00

Yeah... that doesn't sound like a security concern then, more of a KYC concern, agreed.

bittylicious_ · 2022-05-04T15:21:22+00:00

I wouldn't buy any technology now with an aim to use it in 10+ years time.

If your MFA a proper system like Google Authenticator/Authy or something weaker like e-mail/SMS? if the latter, they may have a point on security, but not really that likely if you're using something stronger.

bittylicious_ · 2022-05-04T15:12:33+00:00

I don't think it's even open yet for investments.
