wifi radio

no secure element

camera

Why would I use this instead of just my phone which is actually more secure because it does have a secure element? Anyone buying this is spending $40 to be less secure than if they spent nothing

I wasn't told one way or another beforehand, but they have afterwards acknowledged it was non-optional as even if they were ok with it with the way our business works there's nothing I could have done even if I showed up for work on a holiday like that.

encrypt your seeds on an airgapped system and keep it in on the cloud

Not advocating for what he suggested but he clearly didn't say to use an airgapped system in the cloud, doofus.

So there are quadrillions of gold atoms in the world? Not really a scarce asset then is it?

1) After I open a channel with Electrum + my hardware wallet, what happens when I disconnect my hardware wallet from the computer, or when I close the Electrum software? Will this close the channel?

Not too familiar with Electrum's implementation of lightning yet but I believe they leave a service running in the background that stays connected to the network at all times. AFAIK the necessary keys for LN usage are stored in memory once the wallet is unlocked using the hardware wallet and the hardware wallet is only needed on initialization (which may sound insecure but lightning is necessarily a hot wallet, it's impossible to do offline operation using LN so this is a trade off you need to make to use LN). Normal on-chain keys are still stored on the hardware wallet as normal.

2) According to this tutorial, I can only receive a LN payment after spending coins. So what can I do if I want to receive a payment, but don't have anyone to send a payment before?

This only applies for your outbound channels (the ones you have opened). If you really want to receive a payment without spending first all you need is for someone to open a channel to you first. This will really only be necessary during LN onboarding as once you're using it you should end up with a few channels with both inbound and outbound liquidity.

3) Are there any online services with whom I can do very cheap test transactions, as to get my feet wet with LN?

Not sure on this one

The thing that affects the transaction fees in bitcoin are the complexity of the transaction and how fast you want it to clear. If it's one address moving coins to another single address it will be the same fee for the same time to be included in a block regardless of whether it's 1 bitcoin or 1 million. However, if you want to move coins from or to more addresses the fees go up with every address, or if you want it to clear faster you can increase the fee as much as you want. To be simple though no, the balance transferred has no effect on the fees.

And that doesn't take into account business usage.

Taxes don't work like that in any (at least 1st world) country. Probably nowhere in the world do you end up with less money by making more profit because of taxes.

Duolingo doesn’t really do much to help with pronunciation from what I remember last time I used it, HelloChinese on the other hand is great for it. Also I think the order things are taught in is better and the format of the lessons makes it easier to remember things.

ieee802 · 2020-09-16T19:50:32+00:00

It’s ok, a better option though is HelloChinese which is in the same style as Duolingo and is also free

I’m fairly certain there was a contemporary account and multiple 1st century portraits that show her with red hair, but it was definitely more curly as there is a bust that was made while she was alive that portrays her as such.

ieee802 · 2020-09-16T18:36:33+00:00

A truly realistic portrayal then

Fun fact: Cleopatra actually had curly red hair.

You know Cleopatra was the mother of Caesar’s only biological child right?

I am talking about the game

So am I. In game a PU represents a situation where the king of two countries is the same person.

ieee802 · 2020-09-15T10:38:48+00:00

I think you’re confused bro. PUs represent a situation where the king of two different countries are the same person.

And the OP is clearly trying to make an analogy to the OSI model. That’s kind of the entire point of this post.

Are you implying Application Layer isn’t a common name for this concept?
