I attempted to backup my main desktop computer with dd last night. Don't worry, the attempt was successful! I've used dd to backup my computers for years. I've been budget constrained so I didn't have 2 TB of disk available until recently so I've used this machine for a couple of years and have a ton of important stuff on it and didn't have any kind of backup. It occurred to me after I started the clone that I should have done some kind of file backup prior to kicking off the dd command. I did quadruple check that my "if" and "of" were correct but still... #Linux

I just tried out Silent Payments on @Cake Wallet. Pretty impressive! This is a potential replacement for PayNyms / BIP-47. No notification transaction is required to start sending private payments. Hopefully more wallets will start supporting Silent Payments because receive support is pretty limited at the moment.

Anyone have a way that I can read this without an account? I don't feel the need to create an account to read one article. https://www.piratewires.com/p/signature-didnt-have-to-die-either-chokepoint-nic-carter?f=home
