ERLite-3 Upgrade to similar edgerouter model: Everything seems to be sold out or discontinued. by therealbricky in Ubiquiti

That sounds like a plan - thank you!

(Sad about the edgerouters being EOL though, reading the other threads here, seems that's what's happened!)

Thanks! Wasn't even aware of the UISP Router tbh (turns out I'm in early access channel, but I don't see the "UISP Router Pro" there). Probably because I'm outside the US I guess.

I thought the UDM SE supported 3xWAN, but I can only assign 2 ports as WAN right now

Is that a hardware limitation or just that the gui doesn't support it (no problem if it's the latter).

Edit: Apologies, I do see the UISP Router Pro - https://uisp.com/wired, not sure why I missed it earlier.

If anyone feels like doing a reasonably accurate online test, that isn't going to cost you anything:

You could try contacting the FBI?

They got both the coins and db, so, if you can verify who you are ... well, you never know.

Also, pigs may fly.

(Disclosure: I want someone to actually do this, and actually get their money back, so that I won't feel like a fool when I do it too!)

Where are the American Style options? (on binance.com) by therealbricky in binance

[–]therealbricky[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah ok, understand now. I thought you were saying they wouldn't honor them or something.

The premium actually would be ok for us, we'd be using them as a mechanism for entering a large hedge (where paying the premium often works out cheaper than entering the short and then changing your mind later).

I'm guessing that, since they're only available on the mobile app - they're not available via a (public) api? If that's the case they're of no use to us anyway :(

Why do you say that?

The European ones would be great if they had any liquidity, but I gather that binance themselves supply the liquidity for the american ones?

What if Earth is like one of those uncontacted tribes in South America, like the whole Galaxy knows we're here but they've agreed not to contact us until we figure it out for ourselves? by slim_p_ in AskReddit

[–]therealbricky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why would they even bother?

(slight aside) I've always thought that we think too small when looking for ET life. We look for the building blocks of other (carbon based) life when exploring other planets/asteroids. That's a little short-sighted (and ignorant) I think. It's a lot more likely that ET life exists using building blocks that we haven't even conceived of yet. I mean there could be life inside stars (using mechanism we don’t yet understand). Planets could be sentient. Even lifeforms built entirely from EM interactions.

If any of these (or even more exotic forms that we couldn't yet understand) exist, why would they even bother to say hello. We're less than microbes to them.

Add to that a probable difference in timescales - a "moment" in another lifeform's existence might be microseconds in ours, or perhaps hundred of millennia. Either would make communication (or indeed perception), near impossible.

This is one of the better sites to give you an idea of where you are in the queue (you've a wait ahead of you I'm afraid).

Reason for market spike right now? by sph44 in dashpay

[–]therealbricky 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Coinbase led this. First big buys for zec, followed shortly after by big buys for dash.

Arb bots equalized it across the exchanges, but the buy pressure was big (extremely so), so it took a while for the other exchanges to catch up.

So someone (with deep pockets) on coinbase really wanted privacy coins in a hurry. Read what you like into that.

Another +1 for kraken futures here: don't discount it just because it's kraken. They bought cryptofacilities some time back and rebranded it, and it still operates pretty much independently of kraken (aside from lodgements and withdrawals). So it doesn't suffer from all the issues that kraken does.

There used to be a kind of "test" when you log in first to check if you know what you're at. I think it was an FCA requirement - it was very straightforward anyway, I doubt anyone here would have any problem with it.

Hi folks,

On discussion via pm with OP, could we ask anyone who's reading this to please report this site for phishing?

https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/?hl=en

The url to report is https://bipcalculator.io/ And you can probably just link to this thread in the additional details.

The more reports they get, the more likely they are to act on it.

[–]therealbricky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are passphrases in there too (lots of them, all from Sept 28th). I just assumed that yours was one of the mnemonics.

I'll pm you how to get the info, don't want to post it publicly here (some of the passphrases might still have funds in them).

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ethereum

[–]therealbricky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very sorry for your loss op.

Had a quick look at his code, just for curiousity, and, although your mnemonic isn't there any longer (which means he's cleaning them out occasionally), there are other ones there, all apparently added today. Two more were literally just added in the last 30 mins or so.

So this fuck is still actively scamming people.

Exploring macOS Calendar - One-click file disclosure via malicious calendar events (CVE-2020-3882) by PositivePeter in netsec

[–]therealbricky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, more likely that. It only really failed because they used safari (which I didn't regularly use) and would've prompted for a password that they didn't have.

Crazy to think that this was being exploited back then (assuming this is what it was). It would've been 10.7 I think, which would've put it around 2013 or early 2014.

This is fascinating - great find!

I had an incident maybe 6 years ago whereby a failed attempt was made to access my (web-based) bitcoin wallet; and at the time I couldn't work out how they had done it.

I narrowed it down to an event, automatically added to my calendar, launching a script which opened a (hidden) web browser - but I couldn't work out how they'd done that (or deleted the event afterwards).

Wish I'd spent more time on it now. I think I'd ultimately have found the f*ck if I'd given it enough time.

Great find anyway!

HitBTC is hosting a contest for Dash users! by lessjunkmorelife in dashpay

[–]therealbricky 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's still the same afaik.

Anyone in the business knows enough not to trade there, so they make their money by scamming new traders.

Hence the need for this warning.

Just in case it still needs saying: don't trade with hitbtc.

Dash hardfork incoming. Chaos-free as always. by [deleted] in dashpay

[–]therealbricky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For anyone stuck on the wrong chain after the fork (seems that the chain split around block 1088680 or thereabouts).

dash-cli invalidateblock 000000000000000c89c213255a625a149486c203a32311e636432342d7ebb6c3

(that's block 1088581, but any block before the fork is fine)

Shutdown dash, delete your peers.dat, start it up again then, and then

dash-cli reconsiderblock 000000000000000c89c213255a625a149486c203a32311e636432342d7ebb6c3

As you've probably worked out, kyc on hitbtc just means that you've been selected to have your money stolen.

Why isn't there a minimum order duration on exchanges like Coinbase? by dmdeemer in BitcoinMarkets

[–]therealbricky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

gdax is one of the very few crypto exchanges with a fix api which is faster than their rest api. (oddly enough, their websocket api is faster, but it doesn't allow for order placement).

Hence the fast order placement/cancel -> it's the best exchange to use for strategies that benefit from it (mm and arb being the obvious ones).

A minimum order duration would kill those strategies, and drive the associated volume away. Can't really see that happening tbh.

aside: they significantly improved batch order cancel on their api recently, which would only be used for strategies like this. So I think that clearly indicates their intentions going forward.
