Hello World, I give you Parmanode4Win version 0.0.1 ... For a long time, I've resisted building a version of Parmanode for Windoze because I hate it, and because people should get off Windows. On the other hand, most of the people who need help are probably most comfortable Windows. The Linux users can probably manage. So this is a way to get more people running nodes, and more people's eyes on my "message of the day" propaganda, mwahaha. The hardest part was interacting with Bill Gate's clunky piece of crap, but also, because I excluded using the Bash language as an option (it required too many steps to set up from the user) - I went with Python. Python is great, but I had to learn a thing or two to replicate what I was doing with Bash on Linux/Mac. Some things were harder on Python, but some things were easier. Look at how easy this is... 1. Download the installer file from the website (see image for link) 2. Double-click the download and agree to install. 3. The installer closes and leaves an application shortcut on the desktop with a pretty icon picture. 4. Double click the icon 5. Read some intro menus (dismiss forever by typing "free ross" where prompted). 6. Main menu - select with the keyboard (options highlighted in colour) to add a program. 7. Add Bitcoin. It offers internal vs external drive. If external it'll format if you choose. You can also migrate your own Bitcoin data directory. 8. It'll ask if you want to prune and help you set a value, just type what you want to answer the prompts. 9. A bitcoin.conf file is created in the background with the best settings for your Sparrow Wallet. Modifies some conflicting settings if pruning. 10. Bitcoin downloads, sha256 verifies, gpg verifies with Michael Ford's (Bitcoin Dev) public key, unzips, and moves files to where they need to be. 11. Back from the main menu, you can enter the Bitcoin menu and start Bitcoin. A screen pops up showing the chain syncing. If you close it, Bitcoin gracefully stops. Start it up again and it picks up where it left off. It's convenient for your wallet usage to leave it on, but you don't necessarily have to. 12. Then, from the main menu, you can go to the add_menu and add Sparrow Bitcoin Wallet. It downloads and verifies and unzips, but also, it modifies the configuration file so Sparrow will AUTOMAGICALLY connect to your own Bitcoin Core node. 13. Start sparrow from the sparrow menu. 14. There is a bunch of other cool stuff if you explore the Main menu options. 15. I'll add more apps (eg Mempool, Electrum Server, Electrum wallet, and others, maybe notes and things like that moved across relay type devices ;P) as time goes on, be sure to regularly (daily) update - it doesn't matter if you forget, whenever there's a new version, you'll get a prompt to choose to update, and it's done automatically. Sounds good? It's 50x better on Linux. www.parmanode.com/parmanode4win Screenshot of webpage containing screenshots of the app...

When possible, I always take the racing line when driving. Not because I'm a hoon, but it's wasteful and wrong otherwise.

Parmanode4Win coming soon. I hate it.

If cash is King, then Bitcoin must be God.

Did, or how did, something come from nothing? Parman thinks he has the answer. Here it goes, don't hate me... The most fundamental property of reality is logic, the most basic elements of that being Truth or Falsehood. It makes up the essence of computers (0 or 1s), but also our reality, the universe. No matter how many dimensions or universes you think there are, logic is the basis of it. From logic, mathematics is birthed. From that, physics is possible. From that, chemistry and physical complexity (arguably a subset of physics anyway). From that, biology (more complexity). From that, consciousness. From that, #Bitcoin   ... LOL I had to say it. Anyway, without logic, there is no reality, and we can answer the original question like this... If there "was" a time (better to say a "state" to not assume time existing) when nothing existed - truly nothing, then it would be TRUE that nothing existed. But truth is something, not nothing. This means that nothing cannot exist in our reality. For nothing to exist, we have to step outside our reality. In this domain, there is no logic. In such a state where truth can equal falsehood, or a man can have periods, anything is possible. Also, EVERYTHING is possible; Also, neither of those things are simultaneously not possible on Tuesdays. It's completely illogical and not real, not reality. Much like Jeremy Bearimy (watch The Good Place for the reference). From this Jeremy Bearimy state, where anything and everything is possible and impossible, what can come to existance? A pocket of Logic (Like how Douglas Adams' impossibility drive was created from the improbability drive and a good cup of hot tea) In this logic pocket, things make sense, and reality begins, with whatever starting properties Jeremey Bearimy birthed. For the religious people, I don't know how to fit God into this exactly... Maybe God is the idea of Truth, and His counterpart, the idea of falsehood? And maybe this answers the question, "If God created us, who created God then, smart arse?" - Maybe the answer is "Jeremy Bearimy did", or maybe, God is Jeremy Bearimy?

They can kill presidents, control demolition buildings, protect pedophiles, fund viral gain-of-function research, bomb countries that refuse to sell oil for wmds I mean US dollars, spy through your computers and phones, force you to work for money they create for free, and generally enslave you all while u want more. Wake the fuck up, dickheads. Voting got us here, in case you didn't notice - it's not the solution, it's part of the problem. Resist by using a money they can't control or create for free. #Bitcoin

Fucken Lasers

It's important to not judge how good life is compared to your expectations, fairness, or what you think you "deserve".

Timestamped prediction: Last minute they'll install a black ladyboy as presidential candidate, rig the election, and the polls can't be pointed to to highlight the discrepancy in result vs expectation.

Never suck a politicians dick, You don't know whose arse it's been in.

Life is so good it hurts. Enjoying it only makes the problem worse.

My daughter clipped pink hair strands on my head for her amusement, and for a moment, I really felt we were all in this together.

Every day is the best day

Started working on Parmanode for Windows. Why? Because I hate myself.

Toilet-stacked more #Bitcoin

Some of you are buying cheap AF bitcoin. I'm genuinely happy for you.

If you're going to be self-sovereign AF, you of course need Bitcoin, but you also need to participate in the world economy in a self-sovereign way - publish your service to the world with your own website. Parmanode will help you with setting up WordPress and you can then publish it and serve it from your own computer over a domain name of your choice, or over Tor (dark web, onion address). Parmanode can also help you run a Lightning node, and a PoS app you can publish on your website. People can then make directly lightning payments - similar to my website's donation page. Actually, exactly the same. If you need help to get better at this stuff in a stylish and luxurious way, I take students.
