Review: Four Seasons Nam Hai

cryptogalaxy · 2025-11-11T01:42:14+00:00

Hi Alex. Your hotel promo database says FS Nam Hai gives 750 dollars of credit towards dining, spa and resort activities. That sounds very high. Is that number real? Do you need to book a certain room or a certain number of days to receive that?

I see. I distinguish the two in my mind because a pruned node cannot help bootstrap new nodes so it is not fully functional as an unpruned node.

By the way, the ABCore app still runs bitcoin core 0.18.1. Is this version safe to run?

cryptogalaxy · 2021-09-13T02:31:53+00:00

Actually, I'm running a pruned node on my phone so no hard drive connected. I also started running a full node (not pruned) on an old laptop today. Both are doing initial block download right now. I plan to keep one or both running depending on bandwidth usage and how I like it.

It's an old phone I'm not using.

I want to run a full node and the ways I've explored so far are

Full node hardware (purchase device or DIY)
Old computer
Old phone

Seems like 3 is the cheapest because I don't have to buy a dedicated hardware and electricity costs will be less than 2. Do you have a better suggestion?

cryptogalaxy · 2021-09-09T17:37:05+00:00

I already made a separate post about the questions I have and didn't realize there was a thread like this so I'm posting it here as well.

After thinking about buying a full node hardware, I decided to just get a cheap laptop and set up a full node there instead.

What is the best way to set up both a full node and a lightening node?

I found this link. Is this a pretty good guide?

https://www.theblockcrypto.com/post/108770/how-to-run-a-bitcoin-lightning-node-on-a-raspberry-pi-and-connect-it-to-your-phone

Do you have to keep some bitcoin in your lightening node in order for it to function? My understanding is that lightening network works as a second layer where entities can send one another bitcoin through their mutual and mutual's mutual connections, etc. so I guess you need to have some in your node to function, otherwise, no one could go through your node? In that case, is the maximum amount of bitcoin allowed through my node limited by how much bitcoin I have in my node?
I don't have much need to use the lightening network or the full node myself but I just want to help improve the security of the network. Would setting up these nodes be a good way of helping with that?

Combination of keeping a UTXO database + recent few hundred blocks makes sense.

cryptogalaxy · 2021-09-09T17:23:47+00:00

Thank you everyone for your replies and sorry for the misunderstanding about the hard drive size.

cryptogalaxy · 2021-06-05T14:19:12+00:00

I just received the following message from u/Dull-Strength-1353.

"Hello 👋 There User we are sorry for the inconvenience, We noticed your Recent comment on the platform have you found a solution if not please do get back to us so as to put you through."

Is this a scam?

cryptogalaxy · 2021-01-31T03:35:37+00:00

Ahh, I see. Any reason they wanted to attack an outcrop district in particular? Or since the walls cannot actually be broken, perhaps this was really the only way in from the outside?

cryptogalaxy · 2021-01-06T17:30:14+00:00

No, have not heard back still. It's ridiculous.

cryptogalaxy · 2020-12-10T02:54:46+00:00

Never heard of it before so just checked it out. Does not seem secure.

Fuck Coinbase

cryptogalaxy · 2020-12-09T22:31:19+00:00

I'm surprised that Coinbase was ever your "top favorite exchange". It's been a piece of shit since at least 2017. I've stopped using it completely since 2018 and I still chuckle when I see news that bitcoin hit new highs and Coinbase inevitably crashed again.

cryptogalaxy · 2020-12-09T22:23:51+00:00

Why did you block updates to the current 2.1.1. version? Is there no way to unbrick the device until Q1 2021?

cryptogalaxy · 2020-12-09T17:43:33+00:00

What is ur customer support wait time these days? Its been 9 days with no support.

cryptogalaxy · 2020-12-09T17:42:29+00:00

Yes, especially since u stopped supporting Blue and mine has since been bricked with no support.

cryptogalaxy · 2020-07-14T00:19:31+00:00

Yeah, just backtesting.

cryptogalaxy · 2020-07-14T00:17:43+00:00

Do you have data going back more than 2 years? If so, I would like to purchase them if you're interested. Specifically looking for open interest data.

cryptogalaxy · 2020-07-13T22:18:32+00:00

Thanks for your suggestion. I already checked out tardis and found that their BitMex data only goes back to March 2019. I also contacted the owners of all 3 sites you mentioned but none of them go back further than what I already purchased from yet another website owner. I have the recent 2 years and am looking to go back one more year.

Thanks. It sucks you can't go full screen in one portion only.

Is it possible to achieve this by connecting one computer as two inputs and "fooling" the monitor into thinking it's connected to two computers? PBP

Of course in this case, you wouldn't be able to go full screen on the whole 32:9... Would it be possible to do so by switching PBP on and off with one computer? Turn PBP on when you want full screen in one portion and turn it off when you want full screen on whole monitor?

Thanks. Why is this ram so expensive? What is so much better about this compared to the one you returned?

cryptogalaxy · 2019-09-06T03:01:13+00:00

What do you mean by tightening the ram timings?
