Parmanode & ParmaDrive do not support Bitcoin Core version 29.0. Knots is its default, lower versions of Core will always be available. Remember it ot doesn't matter which Bitcoin flavour you use if all you care about is running real Bitcoin and staying in consensus. Core is not the only dev team, so fuckem ™ - Core is not what Bitcoin is. To use Core version 29.0 with ParmaDrive/Parmanode you need to be "lying and tricking the code, woah woah woah" 🎶

Someone needs to tell the kids that random words spoken with random rhythm is not music, nor enjoyable. And requires zero ability. You shouldn't listen to it, pay for it, memorise it, or mime to it on TikTok.

Parmanode and all ParmaGear has no advertising, it's spread by word of mouth. The incentives are such that it spreads more by me making people happy. I like that. Thank you to all the dirty mouths. GFYs ❤️

Technical analysis is a highly sophisticated scamming art form, where scammy educational/trading companies lure students/"investors" into studying how price can predict price. By intellectualising the persuit, and layering price with colourful shapes, people are distracted that their tools are all just statistical summaries of PRICE, and ultimately they are predicting FUTURE PRICE based on PAST PRICE, which if you think about it for two seconds, is utterly ridiculous. They are also distracted by this intellectualisation from the fact that they are actually gambling. Price follows the things that cause something to have any value at all, overlaid by noise. The noise cannot be predicted. Price can be charted and observed, but not predicted. Odds can be set, like a bookie sets odds on a horse race, but studying a bookie's odds book is not giving you an edge, you're just becoming a focussed gambler. I admit I was scammed by the allure of finding a hack to markets, but I wasn't scammed into believing it was true per se. I was scammed into believing it might be possible, and wasted years in my younger days proving to myself that every case where it looks like it "works" is a statistical illusion. Ultimately, the best traders win because of experience, "feel", and access to speed and capital, NOT the "advantage" of technical analysis. So here I am trying to save people time. If I actually spent time showing HOW it's an illusion, then I'm getting scammed into wasting even more time (see Brandolini's Law on debunking nonsense and the disproportionate time it takes, compared to creating nonsense). Instead, all I'm giving on this topic is the occasional Tweet as a WARNING. Do with it what you want.

Hope everyone is feeling particularly ungovernable today.

New strategy -If the right started embracing pronoun culture the left would cancel it.

Take what Bitcoin gives you, there is no obligation to outsmart the market... 1. Don't be greedy. 2. You don't need to learn to trade (gamble). 3. Buy more bitcoin, at all prices, regularly. 4. Sell all shitcoins, don't be disgusting. 5. Work hard at what you love. 6. Buy more bitcoin again. 7. Sell only to pay necessary expense, whatever the price bitcoin is at the time.

Happy birthday to the people who's birthday it is today, but not to the people who's birthday is not today.

We had a very nice German waitress today, who was super helpful and extra friendly. She'd even eavesdrop and jump in our conversation asking about some words that made her ears perk: EMF radiation, butter, water filter... a very conspiratorial type; I liked her. Of course, I wanted to tip her and suggested she accept sats. I got her to download WoS and gave her $15 government tokens worth of money. She was delighted to be shown this. And then she asked about XRP, "they say that..." 🤦🏻‍♂️

May I trouble you to help me decide on a name for a new service? I'm torn between ... 1) ParmaSwap 2) ParmaSync What it is - A ParmaDrive machine does nightly backups to another ParmaDrive, and vice versa, adding geographical storage redundancy for two people, without needing a cloud service, and no fees. Extra people can be added too.

May I trouble you to help me decide on a name for a new service? I'm torn between ... 1) ParmaSwap 2) RemoteVault What it is; One ParmaDrive machine does nightly backups to the other ParmaDrive, and vice versa, adding geographical storage redundancy for two people, without needing a cloud service, and no fees. Extra people can be added, but a little more complex. I like ParmaSwap because of the consistency, and the double entendre, but it's less clear about what it does compared to RemoteVault. RemoteVault sounds very generic though, and not memorable. Even I forget it momentarily.

Make the switch from Google Drive or Apple iCloud, to self hosted ParmaDrive. If you actually have a friend, you can do ParmaSwap with each other for offsite redundancy. If you're an arsehole with no friends, you just need to buy a second home and a second ParmaDrive to ParmaSwap yourself. Ni, but seriously, no need to buy a second home, you can put it in your office at work.

It's not just the fact that fiat money is not sound that's the problem, it's that you're made to accept that it's OK to work for it, while others are legally permitted to counterfeit it... FOR YOUR OWN GOOD! Do you understand the humiliation?

The largest criminal organisation in a region, by DEFINITION, is the government. If a crime organisation becomes bigger than the government, it would then BE the government. Once you see it you can't unsee it.

Data loss has scarred me in my childhood, so I don't want it to happen to you. Our family lost all our silent projector film home videos from the 70s and early 80s. My dad was catatonic. It is similar, maybe worse, I imagine, to losing your entire bitcoin stack in an unintentional boating accident. Anyway, I don't think about it anymore but the anguish resurfaces every now and then. The latest was when I started to stumble upon providing data storage with ParmaDrive... I think this thorn in my side is what has kept me obsessed in the last weeks. I'm in this deep and will do everything in my power to make your data private, and more important - to make sure you don't lose it. I'll be writing a full guide soon on how to make the most out of your ParmanodL and ParmaDrive, but for now, I want to share this feature I'm pretty pleased about... I've mentioned in a poorly visible tweet in the past that if you stored your data on a ParmaDrive at home, and a burglar took it, they'd normally have access to your images/videos. The solution to this is have the entire drive encrypted with a strong password. An important convenience is to have the drive unlock itself so you don't have to keep manually typing passwords at reboots. Unfortunately, this automation means that if your computer/disks are stolen, the thieves have the same access to the automation and access to your drives. Not With ParmaDrive! Parman has got your back! A ParmaDrive has a heartbeat to the Parmanent Server (still deciding on a name), and it knows if your computer has left the house, or if the machine has been switched off or offline for more than 10 minutes. This triggers a disabling of the automation and boot-up drive decryption, making access to your drive impossible. You of course have the password and can manually unlock your drives at any time, and you can also remotely disable the automated unlock yourself easily. It's not available yet, but ParmaDrive users will be able to connect to the Server for encrypted backups (no, of course, I can't see the data, it'll be encrypted before I get it). Should there be a disaster, you can download your data from the Server, or it can be shipped to you by courier - Yeah, the delivery can't be trusted, it's a single point of failure, so, of course, I'll have a copy during transit, confirm you received it, and only then delete the redundant copy (or keep it for continued backup). Oh yeah, ParmaDrives are also full Bitcoin ParmanodL nodes. ParmaDrive >> ParmanodL
