Why Avoid Altcoins?Article: Why Avoid Altcoins?


🔐 Explore SHA256

Open Terminal and copy/paste:
perl -e "print qq(your text to hash here, case matters)" | shasum -a256

Examples:

≐ 2099999997690000

There will only ever be 2,099,999,997,690,000 Satoshis.

Otherwise written as 20,999,999.9769 ₿TC, thus the true number is actually not quite 21 million.

Why? Because the code uses fixed-point arithmetic for binary division.

Just a fun little fact for ya.


⚙️ Cybersecurity Recommendations

Apps and Services


Actions To Take Soon

  • Lowest Hanging Fruit: Over time, change all passwords to be unique and long (Bitwarden's easy)
  • Cover your webcam
  • Always activate 2FA when available, via an app, not by SMS
  • Minimize the apps installed on your phone. Instead, add web app shortcuts to your homescreen.
  • Disable location permissions
  • Disable most app permissions (and on Android, disable the default "Enable Background Data" after downloading any app)
  • Disable voice-activated assistants: Don't ever use Siri, Alexa, Cortana, etc.
  • Use a VPN
  • Backup often and if using cloud storage (Dropbox, etc), encrypt first with VeraCrypt or Cryptomator
  • Ditch Facebook (Instagram) and Google (Gmail, Chrome, Maps)
  • Explore using pseudonyms
  • Encourage your friends and family; be an Uncle Jim
  • To track and diminish spam, consider using a different email for every account:
    • Email Aliases in SimpleLogin, DuckDuckGo, or Proton, as well as options within Bitwarden
    • By adding +somethingUnique to the end of your email name, before the @, ex: yourName+anything@protonmail.com
    • By different names to a catchall address at your own domain, ex: relevantWebsite@yourName.com
    • For privacy, consider a domain name that is not yourName.com, however domain owner info is publicly searchable, so for true privacy, you must buy the domain privately (OrangeWebsite.com).

📖 Free Audiobooks (1000+)

I love audiobooks and have built up a massive collection from my time in Zambia with the Peace Corps for a school in the village where I was recently. (Libraries!!) I imagine many of us here also like to read and learn, so here's a list of over 1000 audiobooks I have and can share. This isn’t even all of them, so if there’s another book you’re looking for, let me know and maybe I can find it for you. 98% of these are non-fiction.

If you have a book in mind, CTRL + F search will pull it up by title or author if it's here. Next, I will work on cleaning it up into different cells and adding Authors.

Reach out however you like to ask for as many books as you'd like. We have found that sending them to someone over Signal or Telegram is the easiest way for them to get the .mp3 files right to their phone's favorite podcast app.

Bitcoin is not a get-rich-quick (although yes, some—those who figure this out sooner than others—have and will) scheme; it is a don't-go-poor-slowly (through purchasing power debasement due to monetary inflation caused by inevitable Central Bank fiat currency printing) protocol.
