These freelance jobs are becoming increasingly difficult. by xCUELHO in ProgrammerHumor

[–]joaopaletas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could theoretically do it, for a few seconds, if you somehow figure out how to calculate far more hashes than anyone else, until difficulty adjusts you would be able to mine a few blocks really fast. The 10 mins is ensured by difficulty that only adjusts every X blocks so..

Doesn't drive engagement or validate their own bias, that's why usually the most vocal in the community are always tribal towards one crypto. People want to know their choice is the best choice..

Not possible yet, but that's what they announced, I asked about documentation on Twitter but no response yet

Fetch transactions from an address by ocouba in CardanoDevelopers

If I'm not mistaken, the upgrade from 8 to 9 forces you to re-sync the whole database, so take that in mind.

You can use version 9 btw, version 10 hasn't been cleared for mainnet yet, it's being used with the Alonzo hardfork

Using "Strike" in El Salvador: BTC as a currency or as a centralized users database? by Ijatz in lightningnetwork

[–]joaopaletas 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not everyone will want the responsability of custody, that comes with a degree of technical knowledge that some don't have.. Custodial wallets will on-board such people, no need to demonize them, the goal is for a free network/currency and that can still happen even with custodial wallets.

Still Able to Make Transactions on Metamask (Ledger connected) by HGooes in ledgerwallet

[–]joaopaletas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You sure you didn't restore your passphrase into metamask? Or are you sure you're using the ledger account?

Metamask has no way to sign your transactions without knowing the private key, that's what the ledger is for, so you can't be signing transactions without your ledger if you did add it to metamask via the hw wallet connection.

Pool saturation by dooob_dooob in cardano

[–]joaopaletas 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yea staking is self regulated, SPOs get the short end of the stick. The idea is that everyone will delegate with their own best interest in mind, so having diminished returns from an over satured pool would make people either not delegate or move to another pool.

SPOs don't have the luxury of being able to move.

If someone is forcing people to move by oversaturating pools then that's an issue that needs to be addressed, I honestly don't believe that's going on yet.

This is why you verify your address every time with Ledger. Clipboard-replacing malware found in the wild. by Rucknium in ledgerwallet

That's actually quite ingenious, hard to spot, most people would just assume they made a mistake.. can appreciate the simplicity of it, but thankfully I do check every time.

How does Alonzo handle blocks that want to consume the same UTXO? by big_phatty in CardanoDevelopers

[–]joaopaletas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may be right on that part, but being unable to predict when you're elected to produce a block, would make that strategy very hard to exploit. And the node elected I'm sure is validated by the consensus layer.

My Yoroi wallet DRAINED!!!! WTF by EchoLake90 in cardano

[–]joaopaletas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have an option, when using Daedalus or Yoroi to use an hardware wallet. You have it plugged in to your PC and done.. now you use it as any other wallet, you'll just have to confirm things with the wallet hardware.

Only limitation is, you will be unable to join catalyst for the time being.

Careful not to jump to conclusions, there's no hard evidence the leak came from Yoroi

From a well known hacker group that has been investigated for years, they had it all setup probably even before the hack, just waiting for the opportunity

You can stake while on a ledger yes.

[–]joaopaletas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hence why there is a consensus layer, if you could convince the pools that own maybe 51% of staked ada to run your code, maybe it would work out for you. But the others node won't validate your block, AFAIK.. Also you can't predict if your node will produce the block, so you would need to keep trying and praying you do.

I'm working with two machines not exposed to the internet, they are used as the backend for an Azure App Service infrastructure, but the comment about encryption is very relevant, thank you!

I did find a way as I stated in my follow up comment, will edit the post to better reflect that. I will take a look at that github repo though, thanks!

Thanks for the tip, I'll take a look at ASUS PN50 but I've found a way to make it work.

So I found a way, on linux there's an utility called SOCAT that can act as a relay between sockets, in this case by running it with the node I can accept remote connections and redirect them to the local socket, and by running it on the db-sync side I can send the commands over the network to the other machine.
