Yesterday I got a call and they said that they wanted to set up a video interview with me tomorrow at 10 but they never sent a meeting invite or anything, Now I'm left in this limbo of not knowing if something is supposed to be happening in 45 minutes or what.

I apologize to the Bitcoin Development community, I am finally running a node. It was one of the easiest technical things (if you can even call a couple clicks technical) I have ever done.

I did post this on TwiX:

Sorry to even ask this, I am finally running a node and this is so damn basic. But to speed up the initial download/synching process, since the data is 100% static as of the past 10 minutes. Can't someone just zip up the ledger at a point in time, then download locally to underused CPUs/GPUs worldwide, unpack, then do a quick synch to catchup/synch in real time?

No different than how TurboTax does it on their (old) CDs or initial download and as the software/tax law changes you do updates? In this case, it's not software updating it's simply data.

Nice kity

Are they planning another pandemic?

Why they eye?

If your doing extremely "sensitive" stuff and your threat model involves the likelyhood of forensics, a second laptop + tails is a very good option for those activities. It's not really designed for daily driving like Qubes.

It is best OPSEC practice to always turn off and OS, including a hardened one like QubesOS when not in use. Qubes sys-usb VM protects against evil-mail attacks and the like, but as with any OS...

If an adversary has the ability to perform forensics and has access to your daily driver, compromise should be assumed.

Use Luks for encrypting QubesOS drive with a strong passphrase (remember though people could torture you or family members until you give it up).

Store sensitive files using Veracrypt + hidden volume (you could even go so far as to bind folders that leave forensic footprints to this volume) to provide "plausible deniability". Veracrypt works on both QubesOS and Tails.

It's all about layers and multi-layered encryption (i.e. encrypt the encryption decryption with layers of encryption). The more layers you can put between an adversary and your data, the more time and money or criminal risk it will have to be worth for them to get to your data.
