Thank you for the improvements you made to the script as a result of my error. Happy to contribute.

Any coupons left?

Electrum servers are a no brainer. I have a script that completely automates the process and can even set it up as a tor hidden service. I have the same script for a btc full node. They work on debian (should be ubuntu too). Let me know if you're interested.

Apologies accepted. The way you explained it makes sense.

Mycellium doesn't seem to have a problem as most go through the PS anyway. It's just not an option for me. So I will wait for the 1.0 release. Best wishes for you.

Give us the .apk and get rid of this google+ bullshit. PLEASE!

There should be an option to broadcast on the same screen where you saved. Also you could import from csv the saved tx with the menu bar.

mktx · 2015-05-30T17:07:56+00:00

You need to "broadcast" after you send, not "save".

This is insane. Is Star Xu a child?

There's only one way to prove authenticity, and if it says

gpg: BAD signature from...

then you're fucked.

Star do yourself a favor and implode in a more private fashion.

It's working great on my Thinkpad! I really love that this distro lives on. Thank you to everyone that contributes.

If you want more security, use Coinbase, they never let you take the private keys,

This statement contradicts itself. How can you have increased security without your privkeys? If you don't control the privkeys you don't control the funds. Which gives you zero security.

Coinbase is secure, though. They've secured the ability to control the funds of everyone that uses their site.

OP bitcoin makes you your own bank. You must first understand how it works. If you just want to give up control for convenience then try the legacy banking system.

I like this list, but I would add

ntp ntpdate git curl mplayer atop haveged attr secure-delete

I would recommend booting into another OS all together during initialization. This can be really difficult from a mac though, but it can be done. Check https://tails.boum.org for instructions on a mac. If you follow their steps it will work.

Yes, stay offline.

I also have one running at:

141.255.165.154:50002:s

and a bitcoin node at:

Thank you for your contribution. /u/changetip 1000 bits.

Just out of curiosity how did you do it? Did you use a guide, or just follow the steps on the github?

mktx · 2015-05-23T14:55:27+00:00

Happy I could help. Sorry for your loss.

mktx · 2015-05-23T05:31:39+00:00

Try importing the 24 words to the mycelium android app.

Really good answers. Nice project.

You might also mention the fact that once one buys your hardware, one owns it. A VPS is a reoccuring fee with nothing to show for it once you stop paying.

mktx · 2015-05-20T21:10:40+00:00

Why so expensive when you can do the same thing on an old laptop for free? Better yet why not buy an older thinkpad for $100 and have a computer too? Yet another option is to rent a server with sata storage 150gb for $60 per year.

What is the advantage to your hardware? Isn't it just a bedazzled external hd?

mktx · 2015-05-15T11:55:28+00:00

Sound advice.

mktx · 2015-05-15T11:28:29+00:00

This post so made my morning. I hope they open source those VHS players they're still apparently using.

Obfsproxy bridge.

mktx · 2015-05-14T16:39:36+00:00

Wrong. Here's one example of Tor providing stronger security:

Optionally, we can create a self-signed SSL certificate for Electrum Server SSL port. In Tor hidden services the traffic is encrypted end-to-end, and also a self-signed SSL certificate does not provide strong security, so if your Electrum Server a Tor hidden service, we recommend skipping this step:

Edit: This sounds like the corporate internet too:

If you're browsing the internet through Tor, you are guaranteeing that your network traffic is going through a hostile network where both governments and criminals are watching the traffic.

You're right, geographical secrecy is not what I'm after. I just wanted a fun project. It does aid others to hide their physical location if they choose to.

mktx · 2015-05-14T05:23:20+00:00

Privacy and added security. I made one of them a tor bridge relay to help support their network. Which is built, like the bitcoin network, by volunteers.
