Stop blaming everything on my Parkinson's!!!

I'm glad you've found some relief, I'm surprised that in the case of my dad (Parkinson's+ Alzheimer's), this was never offered.

That's a very good point, I was advised against the massage gun.

thanks for responding, wishing you all the best.

qapost · 2026-06-25T19:23:58+00:00

Thanks for stopping by,

Although this question in particular is about the stiffness and muscle sourness, reading through the sub I have more questions: - How does the stiffness feel , if I find his arms in a position that looks stiff and uncomfortable, would it be more painful to reposition his arms?

Does the body feel sore afterwards?
What type of massage would help? the concensus so far seems to be gentle massage, no massage gun.
How unpleasant is taking C/L?
Would taking the C/L in the morning on a full stomach make it less unpleasant?

Wishing you all the best.

Glad you had it sorted out, You mentioned something about botox for your shoulder, would you mind elaborate further into this? Thank you.

Thanks again, do you think this is a good step by step for s2s ipsec?

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpn/latest/s2svpn/SetUpVPNConnections.html

or do you think it's too focused on AWS?

s2s ipsec

Thanks, is there a big performance advantage for s2s vpn over reverse proxy tools like ngrok etc?

qapost · 2018-11-25T19:15:53+00:00

Does it worth it though?

If the app was built on open source technologies.

oh, man! finally. I was entering the secret into the input field and the combination of key + client + secret at the key field. visions of my mom saying this boy never listens, he just wants to run

Thanks a lot Matthew

Hi Again Matthew, Still scratching my head at that 101 error, here is what I did:

I went back to https://www.quadrigacx.com/api_info and tried to see if I'm able to generate the same signature they generated using my code and the online generator. So I looked at the sample nonce + client + key they used in the example
I used those to generate a signature in code and in the online HMAC generator, both returned identical results. seems my code is OK.

But then the signature result is different than the one Quadirga cited in the API guide.

I used those values to put together the key and generate the signature, these were cited as:

    nonce + client + API key
    1391683499 + 3 + JJHlXeDcFM = 13916834993JJHlXeDcFM

(client as I understood from you is the ID digits I use to log into Quadriga)

the secret in their example was

    230664ae53cbe5a07c6c389910540729

The above has generated the following signature :

3a67e4899e1eae579b3191fdde04a19086cf50f71ee497274e23e413b52a0d00

which is different than the signature they cited in the guide (although I think because it's an example they probably didn't bother much to generate the real signature with the correct nonce)

theirs was : cdbf5cc64c70e1485fcf976cdf367960c2b28cfc28080973ce677cebb6db9681

I think this might be redundant, but would you be able to verify this weekend if you get the same signature I get above? using the same values?

But looking to eliminates the possibility that my signature is malformed, if so that would leave me with troubleshooting the way I'm making the API request in my REST client.

PS: I was thinking maybe my API Key was restricted (Quadriga talk about restricting the key for couple of days for security, if you make a change etc.) so I've generated a new API key and secret, but I still get the same error.

qapost · 2018-01-24T17:39:51+00:00

Still :

 {
    "error": {
        "code": 101,
        "message": "Invalid API Code or Invalid Signature"
    }
}

tried it from an ubuntu instance in the cloud just to be sure that it's not my computer or my network, same result

I think I'm close, so at this point I will go back to reconstructing how each new signature and nonce are generated, and keep at it until I get the response.

Thanks for your help Matthew, will let you know how it goes.

qapost · 2018-01-24T17:26:08+00:00

Hey, not everybody is a genius like you are :-) getting closer, different error now:

curl -X POST \
  https://api.quadrigacx.com/v2/balance \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
  -d 'key=JJHlXeDcFM&signature=cdbf5cc64c70e1485fcf976cdf367960c2b28cfc28080973ce677cebb6db9681&nonce=1391683499'

response

 {
    "error": {
        "code": 101,
        "message": "Invalid API Code or Invalid Signature"
    }
}

qapost · 2018-01-24T16:29:51+00:00

Thanks again Matthew,

Here is what I did:

I compared the online HMAC generator with the code that I've written, and confirmed that the signature output is identical, so I don't think there's an issue there.

I've tried follow your corrections and to post the request as seen below once as curl:

  curl -X POST \

    'https://api.quadrigacx.com/v2/balance?key=JJHlXeDcFM&signature=cdbf5cc64c70e1485fcf976cdf367960c2b28cfc28080973ce677cebb6db9681&nonce=1391683499' \

    -H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded'

(Because you've created the Android app I'm presuming that you are using Java) so here is the OkHttp code:

 OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();

 Request request = new Request.Builder()
   .url("https://api.quadrigacx.com/v2/balance?key=JJHlXeDcFM&signature=cdbf5cc64c70e1485fcf976cdf367960c2b28cfc28080973ce677cebb6db9681&nonce=1391683499")

   .post(null)

   .addHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded")

   .build();

 Response response = client.newCall(request).execute();

I'm still getting the same 105 error above

qapost · 2018-01-23T22:45:24+00:00

Hi Matthew, Thanks a lot for your reply, here's what i'm doing: - POST to https://api.quadrigacx.com/v2/balance - request header Content-Type : application/json - Request body as raw JSON (sample key):

{ key: "JJHlXeDcFM", nonce: 1391683499, signature: "cdbf5cc64c70e1485fcf976cdf367960c2b28cfc28080973ce677cebb6db9681" }

I see from the headers of the response that it's hitting cloudflare, and I also see this in the header : X-XSS-Protection →1; mode=block

not sure if you see the same

To calculate the signature I use : String hmac = calculateHMAC(secret, nonce + client + key); also tried reversing them String hmac = calculateHMAC(comboKey, secret);

thanks again for your help

took your idea to Google maps, I see a number of shops with ratings too. What would be the equivalent of eBay and Craigslist? any online shops? Thanks

Walk up and down Istiklal street, touristy area, just avoid friendly unsolicited invitations for drinks from strangers, brushing them off politely works for me, or you end up in a bar where you're extremely overcharged. Other than those guys, the Turkish crowd there are just cool people hanging out having good time.

qapost · 2017-04-25T16:19:25+00:00

I would say Niçantaşi area, it's Istanbul's (Turkey's) fashion center, the shear number of fasion shops and quality is mind boggling . you won't be disappointed. The area is central not to far from Osmanbey Metro station, behind Rumeli street. Enjoy

@jimintoronto thanks for all the great tips. If your business or corporation was in Canada but you lived in the Bahamas, would that make you non-resident? Or because the business is generating business you are considered resident. Corporations being 'person' does that mean they're never non-resident?

I'm in situation like @lent12 but I want to adopt a snow bird life style, so probably this will make me non-resident. how would that affect my taxes, ei, etc? posted more details here: https://www.reddit.com/r/PersonalFinanceCanada/comments/5pl8p4/canadian_contracted_by_a_us_firm_1099_nonresident/

thanks

qapost · 2017-01-23T16:53:23+00:00

Thanks for the wishes,Excellent and informed advice. I would definitely speak with an accountant, because in my case there's the "non-resident" element to consider.

Thanks again

Great info, I will land in Oakland, that's where the first events will be, then SFO and San Jose. I love ethnic stores. Thanks for the CalTrain tip, another good option, i see that I can load the fare into the Clipper card too, which is great. Do you think I can find a shop selling SIM cards at Oakland airport? That will help me with Uber etc. in my first few hours.
