Looks hot too, in that picture. You have full summer while we have full winter. From 21 - 23 January we had -27 C (-16.6 F) here where I live. This picture is from my garden on Jan 25:
Weekly death cross? Where did you hear that? I hear some people doom Bitcoins death all the time. They often parrot the authorities, which are basically saying “It’s volatile and you can’t trust it. It’s used by money laundrers, tax svindlers and other criminals, and it’s not regulated. So we need to protect the common people against crypto in general and especially Bitcoin.”
But I don’t think Bitcoin will die anytime soon. In fact, I think it’ll easily reach the value of $1M - if it gets widely used, in parallel with fiat money. Why? Because it’s a very limited amount, 21M in total and some think about 1/3 of that is lost already because people have lost their seeds, and if everyone want Bitcoins (or fractions of it) then the price will go up skyhigh, as with any other sparse resource.
My chart is below. I haven’t had the time yet to replace those coins I talked about earlier though. But I’ll do that soon, I hope. Some new coins are interesting to watch, for instance NextEarth (NXTT).
I know some of you have heard about Tropic Square, the new company that’s developing a crypto chip for totally Open Source hardware wallets! For those who haven’t heard about this before, Tropic Square is a spin-off project from SatoshiLabs (who makes the Trezor) and there’s exciting news coming from the company these days. Check out their website and sign up for their newsletter, if you want to be the first to know the latest.
Hm. Strange. Some would say it’s trash filling up his/her disk space (“almost THREE HUNDRED KILOBYTE! I will sue Apple!”) and others would say it’s interesting reading. The news of the document on Apple machines are interesting anyway. I wonder what happens to that Engineer now?
In other news, I’m soon going to build a new PC for myself. It’s about time I got something new now. I have all the parts, except for a new GPU (marked future in parenthesis) but that must wait. I’m pretty sure AMD’s next gen. of GPU cards will be much better anyway.
I made the design myself, inspired by the (old) ASUS ROG forums. If you want to see how I designed it, the recipe is here. Free to use and no need to acknowledge me for it.
If you’re like me and prefer a dark mode theme when browsing, then here’s a tip you can try.
I’ve tried a lot of extensions/plugins to enable dark mode browsing but with no luck. Some don’t work without strangling the browser resources, others work only sometimes. In-built experimental browser functions may work though: Community tip: Dark Mode - Dynatrace Community
I’m currently trying out Dark Mode in edge://flags.
Well, it’s supposedly more secure, with EAL6+ security chip. I need to read more about that chip to understand why it’s better.
But I’m kind of disappointed that it seems to have the same coins support and I also hoped for a larger screen, with touch support. The new device seems to be an alternative/replacement to Trezor One. I had hoped for a replacement for Trezor T with a larger touch screen.
But not disappointed, of course we always expect more but for a company refusing to work with closed source SE this was a game changer.
Still I would prefer to have seen a more innovative device, with a QR reader or PSBTs so you wouldn’t have to connect directly to a machine. Bigger screen. Make use of the of sd card slot like it was initially thought.
I Found the Safe-3 a very reasonable contestant to the ledger’s. I think the inclusion of an SE is a major security bump, like 10x safer (10x might be too much)
Here is a link on info of the SE trezor is using in it’s new device
What I really found awesome was the Trezor Keep for backing up your recovery seed words.
Wow it looks really nice, and I have heard it is as strong as other competitors like cryptosteel.
Yup this one really caught my attention.
The lack of support for more coins I don’t mind as you should probably know by our time here discussing these matters.
