If you ever do get a peek, I'd be interested to know in what state the McLaren F1s of his are. If I remember correctly he has some LMs and even the longtail. What a sight that must be!

As a long time user of Bittr I can say their strongest point is probably sheer ease of use. Once you get the setup done (set receiving onchain address) you just do bank transfers as many times as you want. No user account, no kyc, straight into self-custody.

Dunno what fees for (onchain) withdrawal exchanges as Kraken currently have, but for the purpose of regular DCAing into the market, Bittr takes all the hassle for you. And for me that's more important than a 1.5% fee.

No need for sending any ID's or face recognition or such if that's the question (sorry my german is sehr schlecht). Hope it stays like that.

https://getbittr.com/ - the easiest that I have found for EU. Verify your wallet once (not yourself, but you sign a message from your own wallet) and then just do bank transfers to provided IBAN as many times as you wish. They immediately convert EUR to BTC and send it to your address.

+1 if I can get 3 approvals:

I find Phoenix and Bitkit work best for my use case. Plenty of others to choose from though.

sorry for zap, slipped my finger

Fact: you lift 5% more while listening to Scooter.

Easy: first fiatjaf is a chick, second fiatjaf is a dude.

Yes, RaspiOS is based off debian and is the default OS that people usually use on a RPi. If you have a monitor, usb keyboard and mouse at hand go for OS "with desktop" option, otherwise try "lite" (headless) version and you can control it from your pc/mac through SSH. Either way connect it to your router with a cable. There's plenty of online tutorials to help you getting it set up.

Usually routers by default assign different IPs to new devices each time the device connects. For your use case it would be better to tell your router that anytime it sees the RPi, it gives it the same (static) IP - so you can be sure where to find it later when Umbrel gets online. Again, google is your friend on how exactly you need to do that - it depends on the router model.

I'm sorry if this seems overly complicated, but if you can't get Umbrel up the easy way, you'll just need to figure out what is causing the problem. You might also try out Citadel/RaspiBlitz/Start9 or something similar to Umbrel first, but chances are you will get just as stuck with those.

Did you manage to fix it already? If not, I would suggest first flashing a stock RaspiOS on the SD card, just to double check all hardware works fine.

Unplug SSD drive (those can be a real pain with a RPi if you don't have a separate power source for it), flash OS and connect to your home network. Then login to your router and set a static IP for the RPi. Reboot RPi and check if new IP is active.

If all this works, try reinstalling Umbrel and see if RPi responds on the new static IP.

PS: if you have two SD cards available you can save yourself some time and have a separate installation one for Umbrel and second one for testing with RaspiOS. You just swap cards and that's it, no reflashing needed. If you have any questions send me a DM...

Thumbs up for Ava's answer - steganograpy alone can be detected and if using plain text easily deciphered.

So make sure you first encrypt your secret/seed/nsec, then use steganography to hide encrypted text into the file/photo/document.

My advice would be to start small (don't play with your btc seed just yet). Instead you could try hiding a "secret message" within your art and give instructions to decipher it to whoever buys the piece.

RPi4 should be perfect for the job!

I haven't looked into snowflake yet, so I can't really say. I think I saw an app in Umbrel store to run one, so you can try that as well - that should be even easier to install and run than a regular relay.

Nothing special if you run a "normal" (non-exit) tor relay. Use a device that is powered on 24/7, you can set limits on bandwidth usage if you need to. Other than that you just need to be handy enough to forward ports on your router/firewall and to modify various config files and such.

Had trouble finding peers at first, but found em after an hour or so. Thanks and congrats on your first torrent!

Sorry for your brother... As for the data, instead of searching for lost coins it might be easier (and probably more valuable to you) to recover his music.

Try to contact Microsoft - if he was signing in with his MS account, they might be able to help you.

If that doesn't work, detach hard drive(s) from his PC and get them to someone who knows how to deal with data recovery. If you're lucky and he didn't encrypt the drives it could be very easy to get all data from them.

I would first attempt to recover. If it's really just not enough free space left on your drive then maybe try to clone to bigger drive:

- buy 2TB drive

- clone your existing drive partition to new drive (plenty of disk cloning tools are available)

- expand cloned partition on new drive to 2TB

- connect it back to your node and hope it works :)
