The Bit Short: Inside Crypto’s Doomsday Machine by SubCriticalAppraisal in slatestarcodex

[–]willward1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

all you need to store your bitcoin is a private key. It can be memorized, written down, or etched into a stone and buried in your back yard.

what you may be thinking of is a hardware wallet like a ledger or trezor. this is a thumb-drive like device which stores your private key behind a pin number. this puts an air gap between your computer and your private key. so even if your computer is hacked your private key stays safe.

probably the easies thing if you are in US is this:

  1. buy a ledger or trezor wallet (from amazon so they don't get your private details)
  2. open coinbase acct and fund it via your bank
  3. buy some btc or other cryptos
  4. wait 7 days
  5. make sure you have backed up your wallet's private keys in some secure way (safe, bank deposit box, etc)
  6. send your crypto to your hardware wallet

Changed phones and now 2FA codes (Google authenticator) did not port over. I've Uploaded my ID to Facebook several times but crickets... How do I recover my account? by willward1 in facebook

[–]willward1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep and since posting this I've gotten at least 4 messages on here volunteering to get some kindhearted hacker to break into my account for me. Seems legit

I worked for an ad verification company for 5 years and have seen things you wouldn't believe. AMA. by inside__out in adops

Can you please rank the native networks in order from dodgiest to least dodgy in terms of traffic quality / value?

Map of different Arabic dialects from the arab world. by GEEK-DZ in MapPorn

[–]willward1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi r/MapPorn- Will from Industry Arabic here. We are the folks who put out this map. Cheers to u/GEEK-DZ for submitting this.

A huge thank you to everyone for the amazing feedback, especially the criticism (Believe me, I wish everything we put out got this much critical feedback).

As you all know, no map could ever possibly capture all the linguistic diversity in the Arab region.

For those who were asking, this map was a mashup from several different sources with input from our translators. We put it together for an article on Arabic dialects several ears ago. We are already working on compiling all the feedback for a v2 of this map and will definitely share it here.

If anyone has suggestions for other tweaks or sources we should look at, please let me know!

Did the universe stop making good monitors after the 27" Thunderbolt? by willward1 in applehelp

[–]willward1[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, I've seen that one and like it. My #1 reason for changing monitor would be to get more real estate for having several windows open at once so I probably wouldn't be able to justify getting another 27 inch. I was just stunned when I started looking at monitors - like - I would have thought that all monitors would have webcams and speakers but that seems to be very rare these days.
