BitFinance.biz - Followup

As per my earlier posts about BitConnect.com and BitFinance.biz, I am getting mixed results and therefore sending out a big caution flag about BitFinance.biz.

BitConnect has been doing exactly what they said they'd do. They've been paying about 1.2% per day for the past 8 weeks or so.

BitFinance was doing the same, paying exactly 1.0% per day for the past 4-5 weeks. I've done several $1250 withdrawals over those weeks, but, I did a withdrawal last week and I did not get paid yet. Normally I get paid within 24 hours. That's a warning sign that maybe all is not good. It still might work out, but until we know for sure I wouldn't recommend putting any money into BitFinance until we know more.

Dride Zero - Dashcam on Steroids

I took part in a Kickstarter project to build "The ultimate Dashcam". One with front and back cameras that would shoot in HD, was durable and low power, and would upload video clips to the cloud with the push of a button. We'll after waiting more than a year, they did just that. I received my Dride Zero a couple of days ago and, other than an initial rocky "Setup" process, it has been working fantastic. This post isn't so much to talk about the Dride, you can get that information from them at https://dride.io. This is more for those people who might run into the same issues with Setup that I had. Hopefully this will save them some of the time I wasted trying to figure it out. Dride Zero Getting Started 1) Unpack from the shipping box. To get started all you need at first is the Dride Camera, the powercord that has the cigarette lighter connector, and a 16Gb type 10 Micro SD card. 2) Insert the 16Gb Micro SD card in the slot...

Troubleshooting a Discourse Update on DigitalOcean: Resolving Unresolvable Errors

For the past three years, I've maintained a Discourse server on a DigitalOcean Droplet. Recently, I decided to update it with some of the latest Discourse features. What I anticipated to be a straightforward update process turned into several days of frustrating setbacks. The version of Discourse I was running was already three years old, so I assumed that running the built-in "Update" feature would suffice. However, after clicking the update button, the progress bar sluggishly crawled forward over the next half hour, only to display the dreaded message: "Error – Update Failed." The logs provided little to no help, but based on my experience with other software updates via GIT, I suspected that the failure might be due to the repository head still being called "Master." In recent years, there has been a shift away from using "Master" as the repository head, with "Main" becoming the preferred term. Despite trying several methods ...

Ethereum Merge - So What?

Artwork by Steven Grundy The long awaited Ethereum "Merge" is finally upon us. I've heard people say "So what". So what? I think they don't understand the implications of the merge. Either that or they really are betting against Ethereum. I think this upgrade is probably the biggest thing for Ethereum since smart contracts first came out. This change has the possibility of upsetting the apple cart in terms of Ethereum and BTC. That's a big claim, but I really think it's possible. The Ethereum Merge has been set for the week of September 19th, 2022. The merge is when the Ethereum execution layer will be joined with the new proof of stake consensus layer. What does that mean and why should I care? What it means is that Ethereum will be changing from an energy intensive Crypto coin like all others to a 99% more efficient crypto coin like only a few have done. Right now Ethereum is mined just like BTC and a host of other Crypto cur...
