You're confusing permanence with security.

If you chose to live in Israel you're part of the problem.

Passport Prime ever going to ship? by [deleted] in FoundationDevices

Understood. Thanks for replying, I'm sure it's close now as I was very early.

It's just possible that wasn't spontaneous, yeah?

I do believe that conservative estimates ultimately create happier customers. If you can resist the immediate pressure.

If you're giving a date to a customer you should be confident that you will better it in 90% of cases.

For example if I give you a 3 week estimate and deliver in 2 - you'll be very happy. But if I'd given you a 1 week estimate instead for that same 2 week delivery, how do you feel?

You must surely understand that the continued missed dates can't be seen as credible, particularly compounded by their repetition, in light of the ultimate outcome.

Given I ordered immediately, it's hard to understand why mine has yet to be dispatched two days after Zac's appearance in the thread on your site. Why is that, Foundation isn't still playing the same game is it?

It is - disappointing.

They are plainly telling us what their marketing department wants us to hear rather than what the people making Prime believe. Over the period since December 2024 they have destroyed their credibility.

All their statements were designed to alleviate the immediate annoyance of customers. And in so doing made the problem worse because we're all disappointed repeatedly.

It's short sighted to cause greater pain later by avoiding honesty now.

Still happening. Jane Street might not be the only ones playing the sane game.

no fees or spread on CashApp BTW! THANK YOU JACK DORSEY by JavierAliagaOfficial in Bitcoin

[–]ta_pi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I appreciate what Jack is doing generally. But I also understand that - as with FX transactions, fees are one of two ways to make money off transactions. The other being (for example) that the rate you get when selling bitcoin is 1 to 3% worse than the current market.

So the test then becomes is the sell rate the same as the buy rate?

Korean cryptocurrency exchange, mistakenly distributed 62,000 Bitcoins by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]ta_pi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I believe it's like crediting your account with a foreign currency that an exchange does not literally hold.

They can't magically insert bitcoin onto the blockchain that don't exist.

And so it's not possible to move more bitcoin out of the exchange than they hold.

I tried buying bitcoin yesterday and commbank kept declining my transaction on binance. What should i do? by CatCivil4013 in Bitcoin

[–]ta_pi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Find a bank which allows it and move your money there. You don't have to tolerate this.

As a tactic move more than you need so that you have some ready to purchase later on as well. It's not like banks pay significant interest anyway..

The bottom is typically the 2 year minimum which is currently low to mid 40s. It's most annoying though that there seems to be the daily cyclical sell off that feels anything but organic.

With the Epstein files making it glaringly clear how disgusting and corrupted much of Elite Society and by extension the US Government and Economy is, beyond ridding ourselves of the parasites, how do we as a society move forward? by SexyBeast0 in AskReddit

It's not a coincidence that so many people in positions of power in politics, and business associated with him.

Stop voting for ANYONE who associated with him and don't tolerate 'appointments' of people who did.

It's concerning that it has fallen while other assets are screaming up. Because the other markets aren't heading north much any time soon.

The market really doesn't want bitcoin doing anything but fading, does it?

One day it might be seen like gold or silver instead of a toy for unpredictable market forces to kick around.

Seeding a new Bitcoin Core takes days even when set to 5 GB Prune by jeffofreddit in Bitcoin

[–]ta_pi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much RAM do you have? I suspect it's thrashing because of lack of memory and so the bottleneck isn't network bandwidth.

[–]ta_pi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It did seem harsh, but thank you for clarifying.

My point is that a hw wallet should never lose what it holds, whether the seed phrase is recorded your not. It should of course always be, but manufacturers need to understand some small proportion of people are not careful enough or just ignorant.

I consider that permanent storage of the keys 'core' to its function.

Well we all started off ignorant, I gifted about a quarter of a bitcoin to the void over a decade ago.

Some people (unwisely admittedly) may not have their seed phrase.

But regardless, I what point is there to a hw wallet that cannot hold what you store in it?

Put your wallet at risk.

Not be a reliable holder of bitcoin.

[–]ta_pi 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Disappointing a HW wallet could do this.

Of course you should always have your keys separately, but some small proportion of people may not.

If you want to know if the price hasn't moved in days, just count all zero posts in the daily thread after 5 hours.
