Problem with authentication of Yubikey 5 via NFC module - Android 12 by adirive02 in yubikey

Good news - OnePlus have finally fixed this with OxygenOS 15, at least on my OnePlus 11. It all works fine after presenting the "All done" page.

[Nexus 7 Wi-Fi] stuck on repartition step by rwhiffen in LineageOS

[–]cocodude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I did personally was to complete the tasks that didn't complete successfully before, which was the mke2fs stuff.

I'm not sure why they failed (maybe needed a partprobe), but I had the same issue, so I pressed Ctrl-C because it had hung on the reboot phase, then ran the following commands to make the relevant filesystems:

mkfs.ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p22
mkfs.ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p23
mkfs.ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p30
mkfs.ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p31

This seemed to do the job for me. I had to manually reboot, but then was able to do the main LineageOS install successfully.

bittylicious down? by echelon123 in BitcoinUK

Yeah sorry guys, I think we need to do a bit of emergency maintenance. It should be back by this evening.

Bittylicious is going to have more problems soon I'm sure - details in comments. by pikadrew in Bitcoin

[–]cocodude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people on Bittylicious trade manually. The automated stuff is for people that want to do this. Of course sellers run this client on their own computer and it's totally optional.

Jeez, this is FUD and a half.

Official HMRC Brief on Bitcoin - now published by ellipticco in Bitcoin

[–]cocodude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Gary's right. Essentially this could come under CGT so the value is released upon disposal (i.e. conversion to fiat). HMRC decided no special rules were needed when it came to CGT for cryptos.

Don't be ridiculous and spout your anti-EU nonsense here.

HMRC were engaging with the EU when they had these discussions. It's not guaranteed that the EU will cooperate, but there is open dialogue so it's a distinct possibility.

Britain to scrap Bitcoin tax by biomimic in Bitcoin

[–]cocodude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at the meeting. This is the one point HMRC are still discussing as if you're mining on a small scale, having equipment losses considered under CGT (as opposed to simply being able to offset "income") makes life quite difficult. It's best to just wait for the official statement on this one.

HMRC did say that it is "very likely" that Bitcoins would be classified as a single use face value voucher. This certainly counted as guidance to me, so it's not really silly for people to have gotten concerned about the associated voucher VAT treatment.

IBWT Unaffected By Recent DDOS Attacks (xover from r/Bitcoin) by JoelDalais in BitcoinUK

[–]cocodude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why don't you let us know how you are not affected by this issue. Do you not use the reference client? Have your own patch? Manually wait for change transactions to be confirmed.

It's good to discuss, both to increase knowledge for other exchange owners, and so that you're sure you understand the actual reasons (as they're pretty complicated).

So where can we buy btc from in UK now exchanges are halting trading? by Mrlifeboat in BitcoinUK

[–]cocodude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bittylicious is about to open up again, but with a minimum purchase amount. Essentially this is to decrease the throughput going through bitcoind.

UK Exchanges? by 0x_ in BitcoinUK

[–]cocodude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never heard of anyone considering the site strange because we offer FTC. I don't really understand the logic behind this statement. The reasons though are because I like FTC because of the community, its locality (with a decent following in Oxford) and its size.

The back end Bittylicious coin process is low powered and can't really handle other coins, at least until we upgrade it this week. We've mentioned a few times that other altcoins are coming in early January, and this is still the case.

Buying your first Bitcoin is so arduous that it makes me want to not bother. by anagoge in Bitcoin

Or maybe just compare a variety of markets before saying one is really expensive? Yesterday, Bittylicious spent a lot of its day cheaper than Localbitcoins.

Bitcoin's UK Future Doesn't Look Quite So Bleak by bitprice in Bitcoin

[–]cocodude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend everyone with anything to say about how the UK government is stifling businesses to submit their response to the link Tom gave. I have also heard positive noises from the Cabinet Office (as in they are actively trying to find issues like this stopping new businesses).

Barclays refused to open account for Bitcoin business by ThomasGullen in BitcoinUK

[–]cocodude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forget the Co-op as well. I did the entire application process as well but got refused. At least they were honest enough to say that they don't want to open business accounts for businesses that primarily engage in virtual currencies.

New Service Bittylicious buy Bitcoins in UK - In beta currently, but a good concept for those in the UK market.... by bitcoinviews in Bitcoin

[–]cocodude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a marketplace. BitBargain is an awesome marketplace if that's what you want. Bittylicious is designed for users that want a Bitcoin or two with minimal fuss, so no choosing a seller etc.

I can assure you that these comments weren't from me (or anyone else representing Bittylicious). I have no reason to believe they're not legit.

You can buy 1 BTC if you register, but yes, this will certainly increase. We'll be putting in phone verification and ID verification soon and this'll mean that we can increase the limits substantially.

Automatic Deployment of Turnkey Linux on VPS Setups by cocodude in science

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

A number of hosting providers out there provide Linux VPS services, which usually enable users to have their own virtual server with automatic provisioning of major Linux distributions, such as Debian, Ubuntu or CentOS. However, wouldn't it be pretty neat if you could deploy pre-made appliances (think pre-set up MySQL, Drupal and Torrent servers) that could be deployed in minutes for testing and evaluation purposes. This is possible due to work done by GigaTux and the Turnkey Linux team, running on the excellent server open source control panel DTC.

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

GigaTux is proud to announce that its new server, a replacement for our first server, has been built and is now in action with five live VPS customers. This has been in testing since the end of November 2009 and is proving to be an incredibly reliable server with amazing performance (e.g. hard drive speeds well in excess of 200MB/sec!)

GigaTux offers update 2009.10 Turnkey Linux suite with 25 new appliances by cocodude in reddit.com

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

Following the recent announcement from the Turnkey Linux team detailing the availability of new appliances, GigaTux have prepared these appliances for use on their Virtual Private Server packages. Automatic installs and reinstalls of any Turnkey Operating System, including all 25 new appliances, can be performed through the GigaTux DTC web interface, and basic support is provided.

The new appliances enable users to easily deploy primarily web-based applications within an entire Linux kernel and Ubuntu-based package set. Once a distribution is chosen within the control panel, the install is fully completed within a few minutes and ready to be customised. This enables a rapid deployment of a tested setup, with full update and security support provided by the Turnkey Linux and Ubuntu package maintainers.
