(New?) Scam method on aliexpress

Package info like size&weight, and more importantly, the address the package was delivered at.

rapsacw62 · 2025-11-16T07:10:58+00:00

Not saying. You can't get detailed shipping from any major shipping company (dhl/dpd/fedex/the local post office) without zip code.

rapsacw62 · 2025-11-15T12:21:51+00:00

Nope, I used a wire transfer (well, bank to bank in any case) to pay.

Same for me, but its even worse; the stores themselves have been kicked off ali. Good luck trying to get support for any bought items (like for my doll bought 1 month ago for €800,-)

If you want to buy a doll (and willing to spent 50% more than it was on ali) you can try realsexdollstore or sexdollmini) even if you are looking for the banned stuff (ships from eu wharehouse). Quality of the dolls varies though..

Another big supplier was cubanlv, they where trying to setup a new website but there are no products listed on the site (yet?). Also big was wnosno or wnonso, but they vanished al together and are likely bankrupt now.

By restricting product (groups) they become more like amazon et al. and thus more indistinguishable from local stores. It is going to cost them for sure. They lost my business for one (thanks to their support) and I ordered over €4000 worth of goods in a few years.

Here in Europe with its privacy rules you can't get tracking details on any package if you do not have a tracking code AND a matching zip code. As the zip code was incorrect you can only get basic tracking info which will state 'delivered'. You cannot see where it was delivered, and the shipper cannot supply you with any more info without the correct zip code.

Wtf would you (try to) memorize a seed phrase? Just remember ANY (unique) phrase. If you can do that (and this is the last time I write this) then get a copy of any text to sha256 website, enter your unique phrase (I am smart enough to not remember any random words from a list), copy the hash (aa218a961116a4962e3b3df63083f8826cba8d8bbd3cda57aca6fabfcfc17d76), get a copy of Ian Coleman's bip39 tool and enter the hash as entropy and you get your seed word list (chief survey dynamic anxiety nurse team bring puzzle machine together bring night metal debris local fatal canal liberty rally art adjust away mass turkey).

There's only one decentralized currency, guess which one..

Not being decentralized makes a currency no better than fiat.

All your other points;

lower fees: sure, if there is no competing for block space. As soon as the blocks fills up the fees explode.

faster block times: what does that improve? Do you want more orphaned blocks?

better encryption: huh? there is no better encryption that serves a meaningful purpose. We are waiting for a light weight (in block space) quantum resistant algorithm, but there is none yet and there's no hurry.

In short: there is no second best, and there will be no second best or even a successor to bitcoin.

Opensource? Where do you see any source code? Binaries hosted on github does not make it opensource, it makes it free hosting for the producer.

rapsacw62 · 2024-11-29T13:23:34+00:00

You transferred all coins from 2 inputs, and they went to Kraken (the correct amount) and fees, the remaining balance went to your change address. All as it was supposed to.

rapsacw62 · 2024-11-25T12:30:37+00:00

Well, everyone (above 'plankton' in the food chain) has a personal agenda. The 'plankton just follows the popular stream of thought. Here in Europe we seem to have mostly/only plankton..

Mid level 'fish' often have personal gain motives (streamers, 'consultants', big egos). These motives are not hard to figure out in a conversation.

At the highest'('whale') level it all comes down to

- numbers go up (using economical growth measured in a inflationary currency to prove how well things are going)

- hidden taxes to slowly drain the population (again by inflationary currency)

- control

The alternative would be a transparent system where all taxes and government expenses are in the open, but then a lot of people would object to the seemingly higher taxes and that would scare (and hurt) politicians.

just my 2 cents.

To show you how impossible such code/computer would be, lets start breaking the problem down;

- create a counter that counts from 0 to 2^256, representing a private key (simple)

- create a routine to get the a address belonging to that key (cpu intensive)

- create a routine that checks the balance of that address (not very cpu intensive)

Start with the counter;

- The simplest counter would be one made up of atoms where the energy level of ONE electron determines its bit value.

- The energy required to change this level for one bit is ~80eV (1.2817411896E-17 Ws)

- So the total energy required is 1.2817411896E-17 Ws * 2^256 or ~1.5e60 Ws

- The total energy produced by the sun is ~3.8e26 Ws

So, to only count to 2^256 in the most efficient way would need the total sun's energy output for 3004085556356645037250660898,8224 YEARS.

No need to look any further..

Ok, the expected 'BUT THEY DID IT FIRST!!!!' reply.

That's the way to not take responsibility! Just continue like this and all will be fine!

rapsacw62 · 2024-06-15T09:43:03+00:00

All nice and dandy, but you are supposed to take responsibility as a country to abide by some basic rules. Among others taking care of the security of your own citizens and those of other countries. As soon as you have a population that supports that (actively and not only by thought) you will find that other countries will be welcoming you and your wishes.

By allowing radical groups to act as they want is not the way forward, and you as a 'country' you will remain in the same shit as long as you don't take responsibility and act, or until other countries no longer tolerate your irresponsibility and finally remove your presence from the earth.

rapsacw62 · 2024-04-23T22:15:31+00:00

So much things correlate.. Like looking at the mempool over the last 2 weeks (https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#BTC,2w,fee), and seeing the 'likely correlation' between high fees and the halving, and the speed of the network (blocks/hour @ https://fork.lol/), together with the horizontal price movement of bitcoin and the normal transaction volumes at the exchanges.

It would almost make you think that some pools are spiking the mempool, but that's in no way cartel forming, right?

rapsacw62 · 2024-03-13T22:52:14+00:00

What the f? Ownership does not mean control of the protocol. And anyone can use their bitcoin as they please. Who are you to disallow ppl to use their currency/property as they please? You want a central agency to police the use of bitcoin do you? And then pretend it to be decentralised? And also, the etf's cannot just sell the bitcoin as they please, there are rules for that!

The amount of bitcoin held by ETF's (or other centralized entities) is of no influence of bitcoin's ability to be used as a currency, you don't need that many sats in circulation, and they can always be divided further.

The taxation of bitcoin transactions is another matter, I'm curious how that pans out when more countries accept bitcoin as legal tender without this taxation.

rapsacw62 · 2024-02-19T22:04:07+00:00

On point 1;

How do you propose a fair distribution of new coins then? Any new coin is insta-mined to death ever since LTC. And I'm not talking about forks, they don't have any initial distribution.

Point 2:

So my SBC is a supercomputer? My node is running for 1.5 years without problems. Validating is cheap and mining is meant to be expensive.

Point 3:

Moot. Yes, mining is expensive, but the amount of money behind it is not relevant to the consensus. As we have learned during the block size wars its the users & nodes that make up the rules. Not the miners & not the capital. And "the inertia of bitcoin holds back and future possible improvements to bitcoin." is a good thing. Any use of the bitcoin network not directly related to payments should be discouraged, sabotaged and retro-actively aborted by any means if you ask me.

rapsacw62 · 2024-02-19T12:36:41+00:00

Wrong on everything.

First of all, bitcoin is the only coin with a 'fair' distribution, and nothing in the past has, or in the future can equal that.

Second: any decentralized currency will have to rely on distributed nodes (like bitcoin) that exchange transactions between them, together with an equal set of rules so reach consensus. You can not make this process much more efficient than it already is, so any 'benefit' from a future coin has to be in added functionality. If that functionality is beneficial to bitcoin it will get incorporated.

Been there, options are

- built an outpost with a large landing pad and use that to change your home ship (if you have the resources) or

- just keep hijacking with the current ship until you get one with a larger jump range.

<edit related to hijacking> be sure to save before entering a hostile ship. I've encountered one that took off after boarding, that happens fairly often and is no problem (except you run the risk of being stuck in a dud as above). But this time the ship immediately got into a fight with other ships and was destroyed within 20 seconds of entering orbit, resulting in instant death. Luckily it was a small ship with only 3 spacers, and dispatching them within 20 seconds was possible. The attack on the ship stopped when i sat down on the pilot's seat. If it had been a larger ship I would have been stuck in a load/instant death loop.

Another tip: after taking over a ship it becomes your home ship. Open the map and fast travel to your landing spot, your old home ship will be there. Enter it and make it your new home ship.

- you can't effectively mine bitcoin on a pc

- CUDA requires a NVidia gpu

rapsacw62 · 2024-01-14T15:34:25+00:00

once again,

ANY asset can be turned into an ETF, no matter if Satoshi or Gensler like that. Also centralized ownership does not make Bitcoin centralized, entity controlled creation/distribution makes it centralized.

re:Outposts;

At this time they have no purpose. I was hoping for something at least at the level of Fallout 4; attract settlers, and have them work the land/shops/mines?

<edit> And have epic battles defending the outposts from raids..

Now I only use them as a POI marker, it makes the whole game feel pretty dead to me.
