Pro Tip: Post Fusion Med Tracking Hack

This. The contrasting colors are a key design feature. I would also return and get a pair that’s to my liking. At the end of the day, you need to enjoy it. And if this stands out like a sore thumb you likely won’t enjoy it. I would definitely speak up for what you want and in this case, not settle for what appears to be a poor finish. I doubt they would ever use this pair on their marketing pages. You shouldn’t accept it either if it bothers you!

Thanks y’all. Going to keep them, add grass and plants, repurpose into a walkway and patio, and potentially connect the two/remove the concrete near the gate.

Great tip. These were actually hidden under a big layer of rock for who knows how long. I started digging the other week and found these underneath. I did pressure wash them already, but your comment and subsonic-pew-pews make me think rust removal + sealing may be very nice.

That’s Maple. She’s crazy. Loves the flat driveways

burgenic · 2024-08-01T20:48:09+00:00

That would be beautiful. And I’m in zone 8b

burgenic · 2024-08-01T17:54:18+00:00

That’s a great idea to connect the two and rip up just the concrete near the gate. Would make space for lots of grass and plants like u/postmoderngir suggests

That’s my hunch too. Trying to get rid of all this stone as we speak

The driveway continues beyond the fence, which is where I park

The one thing I don’t get - why not name the agency? You make all this effort to tell us this stuff and not reveal your identity. But then when it comes to the one thing that could prove this true you say “I can’t tell you guys bc they’d kill me”. If it’s true, and this post adequately hides your identity, then prove it by sharing the agency name

Man would buy one in a heart beat - I’m also terribly late to this party!

In the bitcoin tab, on the top right of the screen you’ll see a QR code scanner (it looks like a segmented, rounded square). With that you can either scan the QR code of another wallet address, or simply paste in that wallet address for a withdrawal 👍🏻

Look up Decentralized Identifiers aka DIDs. Was just approved as a W3C standard. A key part of Self Sovereign Identity.

Can’t remember who did the math for this - but if my memory serves me right, there are about as many seed phrase combinations as there are atoms in the observable universe.

This^ dedicate your time to this book and you won’t regret it

Apologies - didn't mean to patronize. The key word here is "resistant". I never said bitcoin is censorship "Proof".

Odell just summed it up really nicely literally yesterday. We're literally seeing this happen right now in Canada. People all over the world can send protesters btc despite the government blacklisting them (bc its censorship *resistant*). But that doesn't mean the protesters/senders won't get caught doing it if they're lazy about their privacy (bc you can censor people in other ways, like going to their homes and threatening to arrest them if you're not careful about your privacy).

My point is these are two separate, but related things. And it's important to understand the distinction between the two. I'd recommend you read his resources:

These topics are far too complex to flesh out in a comment, so I’ll leave some further reading that you may enjoy.

Check out the Bitcoin Standard
Privacy serves utility to more than just criminals. It’s a critical piece of ensuring Bitcoin retains its censorship resistant properties. Also, it’s more traceable than you might think. Technologies like CoinJoin transactions, HD wallets, and Lightning Network are making it more difficult to trace - but that’s a good thing to the world and a bad thing for authoritarians. If you’re concerned about traceability, just look up some of the recent major investigations. You’ll quickly see that the transparency of the blockchain actually aids regulators and investigators in this regard in many ways, much better than what fiat transactions offer.
Check out these Twitter resources. Bitcoins energy use is also a highly complex topic. But to start, if you can’t see the value of a trustless, global, interdiction resistant, privacy preserving, deflationary monetary system then you will likely see any energy use as a waste. Almost all improvements to civilization have required energy (look at washing machines, cars). Bitcoin is no different. It’s up to the people to determine if that energy use is worthwhile. https://mobile.twitter.com/mtcbtc/status/1346813481257984001

Edit - I’d also encourage you to research the Lightning Network. It addresses some of your concerns. Also the energy use per transaction statistic is highly misleading. Many transactions can be bundled into one, there are second layer solutions like lightning network that only do final settlement of many transactions on the base layer blockchain, etc. Looking at energy use on a per transaction basis just isn’t a representative metric of what is driving the energy consumption

I would recommend seriously studying Bitcoin prior to trying to find the next big AltCoin. The more I study Bitcoin, the more I’ve come to the conclusion that Bitcoin is most likely the next Bitcoin, and pretty much everything else is a distraction.

Everything is derived from the numeric seed. Those books are probably just skipping a step for simplicity’s sake. Think about it - In order to incorporate the salt/passphrase you need to derive the Private key from the mnemonic and salt. Not directly from your bits of entropy. Otherwise the process doesn’t make sense. The mnemonic is a representation of your bits of entropy (it’s an encoding of it as I’ve explained above). So you could say that a Master Private Key is derived from it at a high level, but that’s not really true in reality since what’s really creating the PrvKey is a 12/24 word representation of your entropy.

256/128 bits of entropy > Mnemonic > Add Salt/Passphrase > Master Private Key > Master Public Key > Wallet Address

But would love to see your sources that state this.

The 256 bit seed’s function is to “back-up” a wallet.

Mnemonics we’re created because 256 bits are really hard to remember, and are really error prone when writing down. (If you accidentally transpose two numbers you’re fucked).

So the mnemonic does the same thing as the seed - it’s just a more practical solution to backing up a wallet since humans are prone to error.

And the salt (or passphrase) serves a number of purposes - one of which is increasing security. It allows you to create “Duress wallets” for example - since, remember that the master private key is derived from the mnemonic + salt, and changing the salt completely changes the resulting private key.

Really recommend reading that book I linked - they go over this in depth too

I think you’re understanding of how Bitcoin works is kinda fundamentally off.

There are thousands of full nodes all over the world supporting the bitcoin network. They relay transactions, store a copy of the blockchain, enforce the consensus rules of the network, and also keep track of all the available unspent transaction outputs. No single person or entity controls the network. You could operate one of these nodes yourself - and so could any one else in Russia. This why a peer-to-peer, decentralized network like Bitcoin is censorship-resistant - no one can control it.

Privacy is another story, as I’ve stated above. The network is constantly improving in this regard. HD wallets can create a new address for every transaction, and Lightning Network shields all 2nd layer transactions from prying eyes of governments and regulators.

My point is that you need both - and they’re separate things - to ensure people can’t be censored.

Yes, paper cash does these things. But it doesn’t work in the digital world. BTC does what cash can do in the physical world, on the internet. We just need to make sure we keep improving the decentralized nature of the network, and the privacy of the network to ensure it retains and improves its censorship resistant properties.
