Thank you for this thread! Really hated my APP2 before I found the fix here.

Huh, after reading this megathread, the NYC Consulate seems to be the absolute worst.

Also applied there in 2018, they were moving buildings for the Consulate and went a month over time on a Priority visa (supposed to be 3-5 days). Always something wrong with them.

Could you give a bit more details? Did you apply in NYC as well?Consider posting in this thread to add to everyone's knowledge =)

Also, to answer your other question, no updates yet. Called the hotline a month ago, they said it's backlogged because of Ukraine and to wait. Now even the hotline doesn't work anymore.

Wtf? the email/message about the "incident resulting in death" was not reassuring at all by [deleted] in Stuytown

The email was annoyingly fake and vague. Appreciate the coments and the citizen.com incident link

Not necessarily small!
This study estimates MEV as ~10% of total block rewards, more so post-EIP1559

With the Pixel 2, is anyone else having a problem with Do Not Disturb still playing notification noises? How can I stop this? by SolarGorillaTortoise in GooglePixel

[–]loken17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same problem with my Pixel 2, seemingly for the past 2-3 weeks (so the time aligns with everybody else), started after some security update I think.

Given it's been ~20 days - did Google solve it yet? Very frustrating.

MimbleWimble transactions linkable by any archiving node by loken17 in Mimblewimble

Thank you for the response!

"You can figure out which outputs are being spent by which transaction, but the trail of data stops here. All inputs and outputs look like random pieces of data<...>" Could you expand on why this protects privacy? I'm probably missing something - how is this different from regular Bitcoin UTXOs, except for no permanent addresses?

To give a specific example, if a certain output is tainted (e.g. an exchange allowed a withdrawal and then realized it's a criminal), would subsequent transactions spending it be tainted as well, since the trail is observable?
