In his speeches, Erdoğan regularly vilifies journalists as “terrorists” while stoking fears of terrorism among his voters. He frequently eschews facts and voices conspiracy theories, including the idea that Turkey’s allies are secretly working to undermine the country’s supposed economic might.

When three senior editors resigned from one of the last independent publications in Russia last week, it was condemned as yet another sign of the mounting pressures on journalists under president Vladimir Putin’s rule.

The problem runs deeper than people want to admit. Black people have been culturally left out, they've been dealt inequitably and singled out in many scenarios in life. We just choose to turn a blind eye. It's inadmissible to say there are as many black americans as there are white americans in key positions dealing with the american life.

Therefore most of them are caught in endless cycle of staying poor, staying uneducated, well because of capitalism, you know. So why are we acting like this is all about looting meanwhile this is just tip of the iceberg? Most probably "shopped" for the first time in their lives. Also people've set up a medical tent with items ransacked to help protesters out there.

If you want to play this game of associating the protesters with "bad" people so people don't want to associate with them, well play you cards. This is pretty much what your president's been playing as well.

I have realized over time that there is a massive flow of profit from trading crypto. I am very comfortable with the way bitcoin is going and as a trader, I am also preparing to buy the dip and keep trading because by all indications the next rise is expected to hit the ranges of $15,000 to $16,000. With the appropriate trading signals from Richard Meyer, a competent trader by all ramifications, I have been able to grow 3 BTC to 8 BTC in just 2 weeks. He can easily indicate how to take advantage of this situation gainfully using his signals.

Does this mean I can buy bitcoin on lightning without ever having to go onchain? Is this possible?

3

fresheneesz 9 hs ago

No. An onchain transaction is still required to create a lightning channel. This won't change. As far as I know there are no ways I know of to get around that without substantially compromising your security (eg you could give someone the keys to an existing channel, but then you have to trust that they didn't keep a copy of the channel's seed). However, that's not to say that you necessarily have to pay for that channel. Breez opens a channel for you without requiring payment. You still have to wait for the channel to open, but its pretty convenient.

3

65yzr redditor for 1 week 6 hs ago

I thought I read something about channel factories allowing this. If you have to open a channel to onboard mass amounts of people, it just isn't going to happen. Bitcoin can only process about 200 million transactions a year.

I inderstand the concept behind Lightning but don't use it. What is the advantage of having an exchange use LN?

7

whitslack Yesterday

>What is the advantage of having an exchange use LN? An exchange can process withdrawals via LN without spending so much on transaction fees, meaning they can pass the savings on to their customers. And customers can withdraw their bitcoins from the exchange directly into their Lightning wallets, meaning they don't need to pay for on-chain transactions to reload their Lightning balances. Ultimately, the entire cycle, from consumer's fiat to consumer's bitcoin to merchant's bitcoin to merchant's fiat, can proceed with no on-chain transactions, and that's a huge win for usability.

9

DontBeAFlatlinerMan Yesterday

I'm a newb, so how do those off-chain transactions get verified?

4

Pantamis redditor for 6 weeks 5 hs ago

The main idea is the following: You can always trust a 0-conf transaction you sign yourself, so you never really need to write them in the blockchain at the first place. Lightning is the exploitation at its best of this idea.  Lightning is a network so that each "edge" (called channel) is a Bitcoin address (in fact UTXO) control by each node of the edges. They negociate with each other to share the bitcoins in this address by signing together valid transactions that can be broadcasted to the Bitcoin network. But they don't broadcast it, because these transactions are smart contract with the ability to expire when peers decide to share the coins differently. So they can pay each other by just signing and exchanging a transaction spending the coins in the channel differently and make the previous expire so that only the last one is not, each node verify for himself the transaction it signs. To get back the bitcoins on the blockchain, anyone can broadcast this final transaction unilateraly. If the transaction was expired (cheating), the other peer can use the underlying smart contract to steal all the coins before the cheater can spend them. And finally, Lightning includes a communication protocol so that you can pay someone without having a channel with him. The idea is to find a path in the Lightning network and use the intermediary nodes to pay him by routing the payment.  Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer system for electronic cash, Lightning is a form of peer-to-peer electronic cash.

2

tomius 9 hs ago

I'll simplify a bit: With Lightning, you open a channel with someone, which is like putting some bitcoins from both parties in a safe. This happens on-chain. Then they can exchange transactions off chain. Basically saying that one of them paid the other one. This can happen many times per second and it's basically free. But the key is that those off chain transactions are actually signed bitcoin transactions. So when the channel closes (upon agreements or forcefully), the users can publish the last transaction, and that's what will be published and secured by the blockchain. Now, if someone publishes an old transaction, it's considered malicious. If the other party presents a newer transaction signed by both, the malicious party is punished, and I believe, loses all the coins. It has a lot of nuances and problems that had to be solved. But that's the gist of it. I'm not an expert but I hope I helped.

3

buttonstraddle Yesterday

It means you can avoid the main blockchain, which means you can avoid the need to wait 10,60,whatever minutes before you decide whether your transaction is confirmed, and you also can avoid the higher fees that you will need to pay. Usually LN will be used to make smaller payments to stores. So suppose a merchant requires BTC payment. Now you can buy BTC on the exchange, withdraw from the exchange directly into your LN channel, and then make an instant LN payment to your merchant.

brianddk Yesterday

No, you can open a channel any size you want since you're just instructing software to broadcast a transaction. You can get around the safety limits that are active by default. [Here](https://1ml.com/channel/694560395843665921) is a channel with 2.68BTC capacity.

Regardless the past limit is still much more than many will be withdrawing from an exchange being 1,588 USD worth

I'm currently in the process of using one to power a suite of sailing instruments, following a few DIY guides online. So far it's performed exemplary, and its small form factor is a huge boon.

salmendoza Yesterday

This is great. A 64 bit OS was also announced to go with the 8 GB RAM Pi. In addition, the Pi 4 is now USB bootable. These three things put together make this new Pi super attractive. I have always been very hesitant to use the Pi for anything other than testing but all of these new features are making me reconsider.

Edit: typo.

Hmm, I was fairly set down the path of getting a NUC.

I don't know too much about the raspberry pi. Will it be much more complicated to setup than a NUC? What about things like cooling and providing a case for it?

2

sm3gh34d Yesterday

If you were willing to shell out the extra $ for a nuc, that machine should be capable of participating in phase 2, whereas a pi4, 8gb or not, may not be capable enough. Food for thought

2

TheRatj Yesterday

Yeah, I would likely be looking to future proof. So maybe a NUC is still the way to go. Thanks for the response!

2

tidux Yesterday

For perspective this means you can build an RPi cluster with 16 physical cores and 32GB RAM for $300, which starts getting competitive with used servers on eBay on raw cost, let alone power consumption or physical space required.

Cheeseblock27494356 11 hs ago

As a professional sysadmin and network engineer I laugh at all those idiots in r/homelab who brag about their bug stacks of huge old loud hot servers in their homes but mostly ain't got a clue what to do with them. My "servers" are all tiny fanless NUC-type boxes. These new 8GB Pis look pretty awesome for that kind of thing.

Not good for anything I/O limited though, where used servers usually still do just fine.

XenOmega Yesterday

I've been looking to replace my 7-8 years old streaming computer (computer attached to a television for Netflix, Youtube, pictures viewing, and video (from downloaded video files ) ). Amazon FireStick wouldn't work because it doesn't have USB port which would allow me to connect my hard drives and it doesn't allow me to download video files.

Can a Raspberry Pi do the job ? I see it can operate Ubuntu.

I already have external hard drives shared via my routers across my network but it would be great if the Pi can hold some video files on it too (micro SD?).

2

SirPsychoMantis 9 hs ago

I have a Roku and a Pi. You can set up minidlna on the Pi to serve local video files, which is recognized by the Roku Media Player (probably would work with a Fire Stick, but I don't know off the top of my head).

Your Ubuntu installation can sit on SATA storage attached with an adapter to the RPi's USB3 port.

Why not just buy an Android TV box? They are even cheaper, have a remote and are specifically build for this use-case.

meneldal2 Yesterday

The CPU sucks, so you have to be careful that the videos are compatible with their dedicated video processing chip. Not sure about the current standards for piracy now, but back then the veryslow x264 that were the default, videos would not run on dedicated hardware because it was too demanding for their specs.

Databases and file servers will always benefit from more ram. More cache to keep requests from hitting disk.

With 8Gb and the 64-bit Debian coming with it you can now do streaming, databases, clusters, AI, for example.

To add on to the other comments by /u/JBSchweitzer on Devcon city selection more generally. We do spend a lot of time on time on these decisions, and there's a lot of factors that go into them, some more obvious than others:

Presence of a high-quality venue, with sufficient space for 4k+ participants, good location within the city, etc
Quality of the city itself (transit, safety, cost....)
There being a strong local community in the city / country / area
The goal of being in different continents, to reach all the places where we have (or want to have) strong communities; so far we've done North America, Europe and Asia, now in 2021 we're doing South America.
Flight accessibility of the city; that is, hours spent flying from major regions including layovers, as well as dollars spent on a flight ticket; eg. this was a major consideration choosing Bogota over Buenos Aires, as the latter, through no fault of its own, is ~$400 and 5 flight hours further away for most travelers (South America is big!)
Travel accessibility of the country (ie. visa-free or at least visa-on-arrival to as many people as possible)

BTW I should mention that if you have a suggestion for a future location with good arguments backing it, please do share! We're definitely keenly aware that we're not the only ones who have valuable information on this topic.

Ah, darn, I always wanted to recommend Cape Town, but that's literally the end of the world. However, it would be nice to see a Devcon on the African continent one day though. Maybe Addis Ababa or Dar es Salaam are viable candidates? Did you ever research on African options?

1

vbuterin Just some guy 4 hs ago

Ethiopia is definitely one option in Africa; Morocco is another very natural one.

Crypto_Economist42 11 hs ago

How do you feel about the EF creating a short list of possible locations, and then letting the community decide where the next Devcon is? This can be achieved by creating donation tokens 1DAI = 1 token. Each token has one vote. You can require a minimum quorum of say X votes for the vote to be valid. If some benevolent whale wants to donate X million DAI to the EF and choose from a short list of three or six locations then so be it. You can set X at an amount that you think would be reasonable to allow benefactors and donors to choose the location.

Crypto_Economist42 Yesterday

How about next time we do an on chain vote for the location?

It will work by buying EF donation tokens.

The holders of the donation tokens can select the location from a short list of 6 proposal by the EF.

Also, please bring back the Prague organizers! It was the best venue and best organized crypto conference I've ever been to.

JBSchweitzer Ethereum Foundation - Joseph Schweitzer Yesterday

>"What's the deal with EF" I can get to some of this. Most of this team's first Devcon was Prague. Under former staff, Devcon was less of an ecosystem-wide conference, and selection & planning were handled by a very small number of people. This led to the Cancun decision. That said, while Cancun is in the top 10 or so most dangerous cities on earth, you don't find Bogota on **any** top lists, and safety was a serious consideration. It's behind many major cities in the US in terms of violent crime (Orlando, D.C., Atlanta, Philly, New Orleans and so on), most of which westerners would be fine visiting. See my response above, but there will be far more ease of movement around the city than there was in 2017.

alicenekocat Yesterday

People complained about Cancun and you're taking the event to a city that is way more insecure and chaotic than that Cancun region?

After all the lack of organization in Japan I thought you'd do better in this event, apparently not.

"Just don't go to most places after dark" and "don't give muggers reasons to mug to so just carry a few bucks" don't inspire confidence either. This DEVCON attendees are in for a rude awakening.

EDIT: Meant to say Cancun

3

JBSchweitzer Ethereum Foundation - Joseph Schweitzer Yesterday

>you're taking the event to a city that is way more insecure and chaotic than that Acapulco region? I posted a version of this below, but this is not true. Unlike Cancun, you won't find Bogota on any top lists for cities (see wiki or others), and safety was a serious consideration. It's behind many major cities in the US in terms of violent crime (Orlando, D.C., Atlanta, Philly, New Orleans and so on), most of which westerners would be fine visiting. Like any big cities, there are great, tourist friendly and historic areas, and distant residential neighborhoods that are trouble, but that attendees of major events wouldn't purposefully end up in. See my response above, but there will be far more ease of movement around the city than there was in 2017.

4

alicenekocat Yesterday

yey for under-reported statistics. Attendees will find that "tourist friendly and historic areas" are not as safe you are making them out to be. Divisions are less evident in cities like Bogota where you'll find sketchy activity even in "green areas" in the middle of the north and center of Bogota where the best advice currently is don't go there after dark. Let's hope attendees don't go too far away from the venue then. Let's also hope that this bet that security is good \*enough\* don't have serious consequences. there will be far more ease of movement around the city than there was in 2017? Of course, it also makes it easier to go to not so friendly places.

I lived in Bogota for 1 month in 2018 - the city is *far* from 'insecure and chaotic'! Don't make assumptions based on fear mongering media perpetuating past stereotypes and misinformation. Though, I will say, the traffic in Bogota is horrendous!

4

alicenekocat Yesterday

Yea, secure and organized is not what it comes to mind when I think of Bogota. Let's see if DEVCON attendees come to that conclusion, they might find it more organized than Switzerland and Japan who knows. >Don't make assumptions based on fear mongering media perpetuating past stereotypes and misinformation. And you shouldn't assume I'm just mindlessly repeating what I've seen on TV. I won't offer details but apparently I know more than your month "living there". Hopefully, people just don't wander off too far from the event venue and hotels. All we need to do is to follow these tips which don't yell security: [https://www.worldnomads.com/travel-safety/south-america/colombia/beware-the-dangers-of-bogota](https://www.worldnomads.com/travel-safety/south-america/colombia/beware-the-dangers-of-bogota)

Any reason why Medellin wasn't chosen in Colombia? Medellin is a startup hotspot, spring weather all around, metro access (Bogota doesn't), safer.

Thanks for the great work and appreciate the feedback u/JBSchweitzer

dmihal Yesterday

One other thing to consider: Bogota is by far the biggest airport in Colombia, Medellin's airport is surprisingly small given the size of the city. There are many direct flights to Bogota from Europe and North America. Flying to Medellin usually requires connecting in Bogota. I would have rather had Devcon in Medellin too, but Bogota does make sense.

5

JBSchweitzer Ethereum Foundation - Joseph Schweitzer Yesterday

>Any reason why Medellin wasn't chosen in Colombia? Medellin is a startup hotspot, spring weather all around, metro access (Bogota doesn't), safer. We want everyone from Medellin to come, and we want all attendees to see Cali, Medellin and more around the conference, but in Bogota we found a supportive community, an incredible venue, and everything that we need to make the event happen. On safety (I’ll post this in a few places over the next year — we expected the question), Bogota is safer today than at any point in the last 50 years in terms of crime rates. That said, like in Paris, New York City, or any other metropolis, we’ll have FAQs and recommendations on exercising caution when walking around downtown. Historic and popular neighborhoods, all of which are generally in the center and north of the center, are the safest regions. We’ll also help to guide attendees toward the right spots at the right time of day, for example: younger areas that are ripe with nightlife are better after dark, while the historic center is safest during daylight hours. As a rule of thumb, more distant residential neighborhoods in the south are widely advised to be avoided, and we’ll advise with maps and specifics as we move closer to the event date and we don’t expect that attendees to be likely to end up here. The local expression in Bogota is: “No des papaya,” or “Don’t give a papaya.” It essentially means, don’t make yourself a target: use common sense while in Bogota. That means look where you’re going, don’t walk around with your phone out and your bags unzipped, or wear flashy items like expensive watches or gold-plated hardware wallets. And on transportation, yes the metro is a win -- but the simple purchasing power difference will shock some attendees. We'll recommend that attendees make use of familiar ride-share applications like Uber, DiDi, Beat and Cabify. The average cost of a ride from one popular neighborhood to another (even half-hour rides) will be competitive with the cost with a public-transit ticket in most major cities (2-5USD). Thanks for the question (really -- these things needed to be asked) and more to come.

Sfdao91 Yesterday

Hi! Thanks for the response, seriously, not always expected. Your points make a lot of sense and of course Bogotá is the economic center of Colombia with already a vibrant blockchain community. Totally agree on the safety part, most insecurity feeling comes from be scared from the unknown, rumours and like you say it, exposing yourself. And yes, it's indeed easy to forget how cheap taxis are coming from US/EU. Thanks alot for your transparancy.
