Saturday Tech Only Live Stream

0:06
Good morning, everybody. Happy Saturday, and welcome to the tech only live stream. I kinda want to go over a few things this morning, and then we will get to your questions. But, can, let me get questions up. Could everybody hear me?
0:25
I just wanna make sure that everybody can.
0:30
OK, great, yes, yes, yes.
0:36
OK, what me go over, a couple of things that I wanted to talk about first.
0:45
I was sent this as a wealth, OK, that's my little joke for today. But, we're going to talk about some scams that are going on And there are so many different scams.
0:59
It seems like they're scams left and right, and what I would, know, be careful of anybody that's new. You may fall victim as compared to someone that's been here for years where we keep on going over the scams that are popping up. But here's one, it's funny, someone sent this to me the other day, and the countdown was ending in, like, oh, a day, or so, actually, less than a day. And, now, we're back to six days. So, if you don't know what Cardan is, I doubt it. I guess they say it's the future of e-commerce. Do not visit this website, and do not buy this token.
1:32
If you don't know what you're buying, don't buy it.
1:36
Check with other people. Do your own research.
1:40
See if it is something that might interest you if we talk about it, then you may know that it's a good thing. If you see someone broadcasting on YouTube, you know, just be wary. Don't buy anything that you think is, OK, buy something that you know is OK.
2:03
The next thing I'm going to want to go over is, we'll save that for later.
2:10
But, what will go? Well, yeah. We'll just cover it right now. So, I wanted to cover some Apple products, sorry. Windows, folks, if you're if you're like, if you like Windows. Windows has its place. It's just not a place in my life right now. I do use Windows when I need to, but I don't. It's not my main focus of my app.
2:34
in my computer life, the foil, and I'll just go over this.
2:38
Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, he likes crypto.
2:42
He doesn't think that Apple is going to accept payments in crypto, but it's nice that Tim is in our corner and maybe Hill, you know, maybe help us along with people in Washington, DC, but who knows. But back to, to Apple, I prefer the Mac over Windows. I would say, in my line of what I use and what I like, I like the Mac, it's user friendly, my family can use it, I don't have to explain a lot in my life, and I like Linux, and then Windows kind of last and each has their own place. And you just need to figure out how that will fit in yours.
3:24
The thing that I wanted to share is that, if you do want to buy an Apple product, one thing that you can do is get a little discount. And that is, let me do it here. Apple, Education Store.
3:41
If you search for Apple Education Store, you can get educational pricing. You don't have to prove that you're a student anymore, You used to have to. In fact, I've used all my educational pricing up, so there's only so many computers that you can buy at the educational pricing, but I'll give you kind of a an example.
4:05
Um, so let's go look at the MacBook Pro.
4:13
And I'm going to say, let's go for the 16 inch, that is the one that I will actually have an order, and I get it sometime in December.
4:23
And then let's go to just the regular Apple Store, and we'll say, Mac, and we'll say powerbook or, sorry, MacBook Pro, and we will do the 16 inch.
4:41
ooh, that looks cool.
4:47
Come on, and just want to buy.
4:57
And the 16 inch.
4:58
So if you see that, if we go with the low end, 16 inch, just do, the Apple Store regular is 22 99.
5:08
If you go through the education, well, you know, these are the same prices right now, that's because it's going to the same store, OK? Scratch that, you can kind of compare, but it cookie me, and it's taking me to the educational store, I'm going to have to open it up another browser to show you the price difference. But there is a price difference, and in my case, it was $200 price difference, so my son ordered mine for me, because his Apple ID didn't have any educational pricing on it. So I'd have to show you on two different browsers.
5:43
And that's, that's a little difficult to do, but just, to kinda go through some of why this is coming up, Because I've had a few, people come and say, hey, things aren't working correctly. Like, well, let's take a look at your computer. Let's take a look at, you know, if you have the updates. And so, I know I had talked about this prior.
6:07
But when you have aged hardware, you can't get the latest operating system on that.
6:15
And when you can't get the latest operating system on that, you can't get the latest something like Leger Alive downloaded so that you can get the latest firmware on near leger.
6:28
And then, since you can't get the firmware and the latest ledger live, you can't get the latest apps. And then, so, you start running into problems, trying to communicate with wallets, it doesn't say you need to update. In fact, that's one of the things I'm going to talk about with, with QDM. It doesn't tell you you need to update. It, just relies on you keeping things up to date. Whether or not they're going to introduce those features, that's like, you need to have a minimum of this app on your ledger. I don't know, but they don't really have that, and it's hard to find that information because things change so quickly.
7:08
So what you want to do is you want to make sure that you have updated hardware so that you can keep with the updated operating system so that you can keep with the updated ledger lives so that you can keep your ledger firmware updated and the apps on that updated firmware on your ledger up to date. So that's kind of how the cascade is.
7:28
I, Yeah, I do like the MacBook Pros. I have a 13 inch right now, it does not give me enough real estate and I need to, so I don't go crazy. I'm going to do the new 16 inch.
7:45
If you're going to buy a new Mac, I would only go with the, the new M one chip.
7:56
The reason for that is they're phasing out the Intel side of it.
7:59
So if you're gonna buy something and you're gonna keep it, You know, for, I know some people are keeping it for 10 years.
8:05
I did have my, the prior Mac, I had was a 17 inch that I bought in 2009 and I finally had to just get rid of it in 2019 so that, you know, it may have died, that type of thing. And so, hold on.
8:28
I'm getting dinged from my family.
8:32
And so, no, the, the, the Apple hardware is just fantastic. It doesn't seem to ever die. I just need to phase it out and get something new. I don't keep my computers for more than four years just because it's it's the tool that I use every day, I have a 27 inch that I'm working on right now. I'm waiting for Apple to release their 32 inch phone. I've heard with my friend over at Apple. It was they were running out Well they couldn't get the parts to release the that 32 inch iMac. I think for my lifestyle, it's important to have a large desktop because I do do video and I do a lot of things that I need space for. But I also need to get away and I need to have a laptop. You can choose which is best for you.
9:23
But one thing that I would highly recommend because I talk to people all the time, let's say, well, yeah, I trade using my, my phone.
9:33
And I personally think, if you have a small portfolio, that may be appropriate, but I know, on a phone, the desktop space or the phone top space, is not that much.
9:47
And so when you're comparing addresses and when you're moving things, and when you're doing a lot, I think it's important to have enough desktop space laptop's space, to do those checks. You know, it's really hard to do Leger Live. On your on your i-phone, you're missing a lot, Or, you know, Android.
10:10
You're missing a lot, when you are not using a desktop, or a laptop, to manage your kryptos. And, I don't want people sending to the wrong address.
10:23
I don't want people, you know, doing things that, they, would, have saved them. if they would have used more desktop space.
10:32
So, kind of going through the, the M one, the architecture has really changed.
10:39
The M one chip basically has everything on it nowadays, actually. It's not just the M one chip, but it is, the laptops across the board because they're nice and then, because they've gotten them small and light, and they're much nicer than they were 10 years ago. Everything is really kinda soldered on to the motherboard, the logic board. Wherever you're calling it nowadays, kinda aging myself probably on those, those terms.
11:08
But if you buy a, a laptop and you have, sorry, a MacBook.
11:18
If you get something with 16 gigs of memory, you can only have 16 gigs of memory.
11:27
If you buy something that's 512 gigabytes of SSD storage, which is solid state drive, which is great because nothing spins, it doesn't require as much power to keep that hard drive spinning And it's a heck of a lot faster.
11:46
Whatever you buy is what you're going to get stuck with.
11:51
For the rest of the life of this laptop, that doesn't mean that you can't hang off a 1 or 2 or 4 terabyte SSD drive off the your laptop.
12:03
In fact, my desktop, the majority of work that I do is not on the internal drive, it is on an external.
12:12
Uh, SSD, one terabyte drive, which, as part of my backup plan, I clone that. And I put it in a safe or a safe place so that if something ever happened to my desktop, if anything happened to that particular drive, I would have a clone that may be just a week old. So I'm not losing that much. But back to the laptop's.
12:37
Whatever you order is what you're going to have for the rest of the life of the laptop. And so, if you think you're going to use the laptop for high-end things, like compiling video, you may want to go to the high-end laptop. I didn't get the high-end I think I got the mid-range, where I want enough memory and cores to do some things. But any video that I do, I'm going to be doing on my desktop, because it's a lot easier to manage.
13:13
But when I, when I go away to my fun place, and away from home, this past week, or the week before, I had to bring my 27 inch, because my 13 inch, oh my gosh, there was not enough screen. And most of my work was just a lot easier on my, my desktop.
13:36
So, that's kinda where things are, We can, if you guys have questions, you can ask that later on.
13:44
But I kinda wanted to go over that just to start the conversation and, to let you know, go and buy it through the education store, because why not Apple has a ton of cash and well, let's just get the the most reasonable price that we can.
14:02
The next thing that I want to cover before questions was that now Meta mask and leger, they have the integration fixed. Supposedly they have the fixed.
14:15
I've been working with it and it seems to be doing really well, I know when the Chrome 91 was at 9151 Issue came up.
14:26
The people were not able to easily connect their ledger to meta mask, and there were some issues. well, ledger and meta basked decided to team up and fix this issue.
14:41
So now, I'll leave, I'll leave this URL in the show notes down below.
14:48
But what you need to do to make sure is that you can have ledger and meta masque working properly. You need to make sure that you have the latest version running. And the latest version is going to be, actually, it's 10 dot 5 dot 1.
15:10
But, right now, let's see.
15:14
It is actually, let's go here, Let's go to Settings.
15:23
Actually, you can't see the version there.
15:26
But what we can do is, we can go to Manage Extensions. And we can see that Madam Ask, if we do details, is 10.5 point 1.
15:41
But, let's go back to mete Mask itself, and let's go where we What you need to do is, you need to make sure that, under the Advanced Settings, that the preferred leger connection type is Web H ID.
15:59
So, we're gonna go back into Madam Ask.
16:04
We're going to click on the little symbol here.
16:09
We can go down to Settings, it'll bring this up, you'll go to Advanced and scroll all the way to the bottom. And, well, close to the bottom, and it'll say preferred leger connection type.
16:25
There are.
16:27
Oh, you guys can't see this.
16:30
As I look over, and, and it's all let me see if I can do this.
16:36
Sorry about that, guys.
16:38
Um, see if I can bring the settings up and do this all.
16:46
Account details, Expanded view. I don't know if I can do Settings here.
16:58
Hmm? hmm, hmm.
17:02
Now, that's account details.
17:05
Well, we're going to have to go back here to the article itself. You're going to need to go to the Advanced Settings. And the preferred leger connection type is: Web HIV. Can't show you that because goto Webinar does not like to do the popup on.
17:26
On the on the screen.
17:30
OK, so, let's see, Jeddah's Jeddah Redis is texting me, but something OK, I'll go over that too.
17:41
So, we'll get back to the, the ledger.
17:47
It's a lot easier to integrate the two right now. And they plan on doing more in the in the future. As far as kind of going back to keeping things up to date, there have been a few people that have had issues with the QM Core Wallet.
18:06
And, you know, they did the QI swap, and then you tried to send out, and it appeared to send out. But it really didn't, because it wasn't caught up.
18:16
What you want to do is you want to make sure that you have the latest QDM core, which is zero point 20.3. If you don't have that, you may run into the issue that I ran into earlier this year. And that was, I thought it was up to date. I tried to send out some cute them, and it just sat there forever and it sat there forever until I updated the core wallet.
18:47
When I updated the core wallet, it took, like, 23. 24 weeks depends on when you did it to catch up and then it would send out to your CutUps. So what you want to make sure is that as Jeddah posted in the, in the Telegram Channel, check your wallets.
19:07
Make sure that you can access all of them.
19:10
Make sure that you can easily get to that your coins when you need to. And part of that is making sure that your hardware is up to date so that you're operating systems up to date, so your ledger live is up to date. So your firmware is up to date.
19:25
And the apps on your hard work key are up to date. So it kind of, you know, it follows that you really need to keep things up to date, so that you don't run into any issues.
19:41
And I think that is, well.
19:43
yeah, that's it.
19:45
But one other thing that I wanted to go over was, there was a comment.
19:51
Let me see if I can pull this up And I just bring this up so that people understand what know, what happens when certain width when you do certain things.
20:03
And that is someone was doing the the Boba send me their OMG too um, to the Layer two network and they got it up there but they also needed to have Ethereum up there and from what he said, because I was never able to complete it.
20:28
He needed to send a little bit of thorium to get it off the layer two but it was going to costs like, 350 bucks to get that Ethereum up there.
20:37
So it's hard to know what some of the smart contracts are actually going to charge, because the smart contract is truly that the smart contract is written the way the person or group wants it written. And they may not tell you those fees that it's going to cost to actually get things on their platform and off their platform, or in different areas. I know. I learned that with dos dos.
21:04
It was really expensive to get it off their platform. I mean, I know this is a while ago.
21:12
But you know, it was costing people 60, 80 bucks to get their dos off what was being staked. So depending on how long you had it on there to be staked and how much dosh you had on there to be staked.
21:25
Some people might have just broken even.
21:27
I think I came out of the deal spending probably about $300 in fees, and I think at that point I made about $600. So I always had 300 bucks.
21:38
But it just seems awful heavy in fees too well, to have that as a stake in option as compared to something like T fuel or theta, where it's virtually nothing. It's zero point three T fuel or eta where it's virtually nothing. I know there's a small small fee. That's what staking should be about. Very small fees same with the flamingo, and neo, and, you know, whatever pair that that you decide to do. So, let's go, and let me pull up the, the questions.
22:19
Let me refresh this, give me a second, and take a little Tiebreak.
22:32
OK.
22:37
Refresh that again.
22:41
And if anybody wants to come on the air, We can try to do that too.
22:48
I'll just kind of go through these and then we'll kind of move on.
22:52
So, David says, Not a question.
22:55
For those who have Windows, machines backup everything that matters to you. I nearly lost two years' worth of wages in Kryptos because Windows sucks and I didn't back it up. Fortunately I it recovered.
23:08
Still struggling with LCC and QM wallets well.
23:13
I don't have the wallets here but both LCC Cute, um any core wallet like that.
23:21
You can back up.
23:23
Let me see if I can boot this up.
23:25
Um, I think I have some of those on this desktop. I may have removed it.
23:35
I had the QM Core Um, I know how to do it on litecoin, cash, but let's try cute. Um, I'll let that boot up and then we'll get back to it. But there's, there's a couple of different ways that you can backup your core wallets one of them is through the interface itself. I recommend backing it up every couple months. And then the other part is, you can drill down into the file structure itself, and you can back things up. I can't show you the file structure here, because it would docks me I set this up back in 2017 before I knew I was going to do things like this.
24:16
So my structure till I get a new desktop can't really show you, because it exposes some of my files.
24:25
Yep, and it looks like, I don't have the cute M core wallet here.
24:29
So I, maybe we'll do it on the next live stream if you guys are remind me. But there are ways to backup your wallets. And if they're called wallet dot dat files. And so what you want to do is you want to look for those wallet dot dat files. They're not going to be in your, your typical, My Documents kinda thing.
24:51
They're going to be nested in an area that is, that's invisible to you unless you display it. But you're absolutely correct. Backups aren't going to do.
25:05
Certain things that you need to have done are backed up for your kryptos. And so if you have a core wallet and, you know, the core wallet is you download the whole blockchain on whatever coin you have, you need to backup the wallet dot that. And that should be in the application itself. It should say Wallet Backup.
25:28
Keep that in a safe place because those are basically the keys to to your wallet. It's kind of like your private key, The wallet dot dat file is your private key.
25:42
OK, Drew? From a tech supply perspective, how bad do you think getting a MacBook or iMac or any other tech product could be in the near future? Consider we can't purchase prior to our windfall and crypto.
25:54
I think if we have a windfall in December, January, I think you're going to be OK. You know, Christmas I think is going to be disappointing for people as far as the amount of product that's going to be purchased, but that's just my guess. It seems to be kinda diving down a year after year.
26:16
I think you're going to be OK with being able to buy something after the first year. That's just my guess. But no, it may not be as plentiful going into all the different stores, as it has been in Christmases past.
26:32
I was expecting the new Apple iMac to be out earlier that like around October. Well, they're not gonna get it out for Christmas unless there's a mad Dash at the last.
26:43
So they are having problems sourcing tech product to build the unit, So we'll have to see, but it seems like they do have plenty of other that will last as well into the first of the year.
27:00
David, been thinking about an Apple laptop of some kind of looking forward to your thoughts. Thanks for this, OK, great. You are welcome. And we can kinda cover other people, if you have more questions on the hardware, I hopefully might be able to answer that.
27:15
Evan, should I future proof myself by getting a new Mac book, with more memory, Seen that my last Mac book has less meat 10 years?
27:23
Yes. I would go with what you think you're going to need in three years. five years.
27:28
I will not really be compiling video on my laptop Maybe every now and then, so I don't need to go to the the 10 core CPU, 32 cores, GPU, and 32 gigs of memory.
27:50
I won't necessarily need that for the laptop. But I will spend the extra when Apple releases the desktop version. Because that's where the majority of my work will be.
28:04
Let's see if we can do something though. So the mid-range, I'm gonna write this down so everybody knows. And so I can kind of compare just because I know there is a big price difference is 24, 99, and that's the educational.
28:17
Let's see if I can go back to not get cookies.
28:22
Let me kill that one.
28:24
And let's just go and go to Mac, go to MacBook Pro, OK, Here we go.
28:36
And so the 16.
28:43
Yep, it took me back to the educational story, I can see by the HUD. So we won't be able, you'll have to look it up yourself because it'll take you back to the educational store. I know I had to go to a different browser to do the purchase because it cookie me, and I don't want to have to clear that right now.
29:01
So, let's go back.
29:03
So, yeah, by what you think you're going to use in the future. And it really depends, everybody's so different. You know, if you're just using it, to surf. If you're using it for spreadsheets that aren't that big, you don't need a lot of the high-end, The memory is handled a lot differently on the M one chip than on the older intel, so you don't need as much.
29:28
OK, Crystal ball? I George. I have I'm guessing that's 3000 U S and T fuel ada and a few more points. Do you think it's better, OK? Yep.
29:41
Keep them in the wallets, or send them to kill them, and Brown is such a small money that I feel bothering him about, OK, you're going to need to talk to your broker.
29:50
Sometimes they have a hard and fast rule that you need to have each coin, a minimum of 2000. Sometimes they'll ban that, depending on how much you have on there. But, honestly, if you feel uncomfortable holding your coins right now, and you believe that you're going to liquidate, you know, the end of this month into December?
30:13
No, Getting them to kill them and Brown.
30:16
It is a good idea if you're losing sleep over holding the coins as compared to sending up Kailin Brown. Don't lose your sleep.
30:26
Send them to Caitlin Brown. And just make sure you keep track of it, Make sure you have a receipt for, you know, contact your broker and say, OK, what am I holding over there and that it matches your records.
30:38
Don't rely on them to tell you what you have. You just need to ask them what you have, and then compare it against what you say that they should have.
30:51
Yeah, and, so, Dan is correct, There are, and maybe we'll do it later. I do have a video out there.
30:59
If you have smaller amounts of coins, you can use simple swap to do that, so that you don't have to send them Calman Brown or send them to an exchange, that then you have to send them. You have to hold them there. Then you have to trade them, and then you put them into a different coin and then you send them out. Simple swap is really cool decks, throw it on there, it processes it, and then it brings it back to you.
31:27
However, I keep on saying, I'm going to do this video. There are issues with using simple swap, and there was one big issue that I had when I was doing my track. And I will do a separate video about that because I don't think you should rely on liquidating all your coins through something like simple swap because it's just not going to be there for you.
31:52
This one is about trading, and I don't talk about trading at all. I just stick to tech.
31:59
You have mentioned this is from Bob. You've mentioned several times now. When asked are staked on flamingo finance? People are buying your neo or, your FLN based on either asset price. Can you explain a bit more rather, the process?
32:15
That is in plane when Staking staking is different than Flamengo Finance.
32:24
I know you can stay can flamingo Finance, let's go over there.
32:33
Blim Go Finance is a dex platform, and let me see how I'm going to do this.
32:46
Because I don't want to show everything that I have, but there are two things that you need to do.
32:55
one thing, before you can stake the coins, and that is, you have to add liquidity, and when you add liquidity, what you're doing, let me see if I can all up.
33:15
We use this wallet, OK.
33:20
You have to add liquidity, and that's going to a pool.
33:25
And, to add that, you have to add two of the same coin, OK, or, sorry, two different coins. You can add some neo if you want, and some gas, or some neo, and some flamingo.
33:43
And you add the same amount. So, you'd add one thousand dollars a beach.
33:47
Now, what happens is you add that liquidity that liquidity is available for people to swap their neo for flamingo or flamingo for Neo if you add that staking pair.
34:02
And so, you should always have, let's say, you stayed $2000 worth of Neo and a thousand dollars worth of flamingo. At the end of the day, at the end of every like little time period, you should always have a total of right around $2000.
34:23
Now, the reason why you should have that, is because you're swapping one for the other. And so it's not the number of coins that will remain the same, it's the dollar value, equal to that.
34:36
So if, if flamengo does not move for 30 days, and nio does not move in 30 days, price wise, then you'll always have one thousand dollars, or sorry, $2000 total.
34:50
Wasn't a good example, because then you really wouldn't want to swap here, Flamengo and Neo.
34:57
But that the total will also increase as the value of the coins increase.
35:03
But, the, you should have 50% of the dollar value in each of the coin, so it's a total of 100%. What will happen is if neo starts to increase in value because more people are buying Neo.
35:21
Your nio will be bought, and Flamengo will be put in its place.
35:26
And the vice versa happens, so that when Nio really gets going, you'll see on a platform called, let me see if I can pull that up.
35:42
Hold on just a SEC, because I want to make sure I'm not showing the right or the wrong one.
35:53
Let's see.
35:57
I guess I could show this one.
36:04
Now, it's not going to show any tokens, because I don't have anything staked, but there's, there's a site called, my Mingo dot Finance.
36:13
And in here in this area right here and just under the ads or the monthly sponsors it will show you how many coins you originally state and how many coins you currently have.
36:29
And then it will give you a Profit and Loss of what you are up or what you're down. Most of the time it's up. But I may have more value in Neo than flamingo, and vice versa. And you have to kind of watch it if there is the, if you're not careful.
36:50
You could lose some value. You will definitely not come out with the same number of coins.
36:58
But when you don't come out with the same number of coins, you can swap those coins and rebalance your position. It is complex. It took me awhile to figure it out. It's not something that I would go into lightly. And it's something that really takes a lot of understanding. And I don't feel like I'm doing it justice.
37:18
But, I kind of just covered the top part of that.
37:28
Yeah, in permanent loss. there is a video on that.
37:32
And people go into how you can lose it.
37:36
You don't lose until you sell. But there is that ability to, to lose if you don't know what you're, you're doing.
37:46
And this is from Bob.
37:48
In a time, like we are in end of the bull run, how often are you plugging in your ledger just to confirm firmware and relevant apps are up to date? So, when our targets are in play, you can send your assets off to Carolyn Brown without delay. Because I do this for a living, I'm plugging them in just about every day. When there is a, no, I opened my ledger live probably every day, so for me, That's not a fair question. What I would do for you, though, is, I would say, do it at least once a week, open ledger live, and make sure that things are there.
38:22
But if you have updated hardware, which means you're going to have updated operating system, which means you're going to have the latest on all of that. You shouldn't have to worry too much, but there are bumps along the road. And, you know, the perfect example was, if you're playing in an unknown, like, Boba, where they gave a big warning saying, this is, you know, this is beta it. It's, it has not been.
38:52
Smart contract has not has not been thoroughly tested, and so you have that potential of losing things. If you have some weird coins, like EOS, that are really not easy to get out because you have to stake EOS to get enough CPU. Just, you know, send that off. Those are the ones that I would look at. But if you have the standards, you know, bitcoin, litecoin, and bitcoin cash, Ethereum things that are easily done and lead your life. Then, you shouldn't have to worry that much.
39:26
OK, Bob says, I've purchased a few of the educational videos and love every one of them, but I haven't taken enough profits to purchase.
39:34
I want it all option.
39:36
For you. Besides the cybersecurity course and the trust class which have Jay's educational videos, are your highest priority to invest in and review now?
39:45
Honestly, I would.
39:49
Those are longer term. It depends on what your goal is. I'm not a chartist, I kind of rely on J for that. My focus is on tech, it really depends on your interest. You may want to look at the, the Elliott Wave, but I don't have one that I'm going to focus on and try to learn in these last, you know, what, 10 weeks or so to the end of the year.
40:17
So, I personally would focus on that.
40:21
After this run, I would focus right now, paying attention to the the numbers, you know, the coins that you have. Making sure that you can move them over and see what's going on in the broad spectrum and not in the trading side. I think, but that's just me. It really just depends on how much time you have and what your interests are.
40:41
But if you're going to take Js courses, I would say, you know, starting with the you know, the first going all the way up to Elliott, Wave Elliott Wave is really not that easy to understand. And the others are kind of building one on top of the other. So, if you're going to take his courses, I would say, you know, start, you may not, if you've been in the space for, you, don't need crypto 101. But, start at the beginning, and they build on on each other.
41:17
Yeah.
41:19
OK, CC says, Hi George. I tried to move a small test amount of cute him to kill him core wallet to the ledger. Never arrived the address, looks right, In fact a copy and paste and double-check before sending everything looks right to me.
41:35
What are the next troubleshooting steps? And I did answer that and it's kind of brought it up that if you don't have the core wallet up to date, you could run into those issues. So make sure the core wallet any wallet, any piece of hardware is up to date. Because what you have to remember is because people say well, it worked yesterday but it doesn't work today.
41:58
Well, we don't know when things were updated for everybody that has a treasurer that had are still has T fuel or theta.
42:10
one day, it worked, treasurer worked with, um, you know, the, the theta wallet, and the next day it didn't so you didn't know one day from the next of why it didn't, why it didn't.
42:24
Well, because they released something on the backend that changed things and broke the the treasure or integration and I think I think the integration went live on November 12th, so that would have been yesterday. So treasure our folks. If you have tested that with the theta, I'd love to see and hear from me to see if it, If it worked, OK.
42:46
OK, hi, George, do you suggest turning it on file vault, disk, encryption on my MacBook Air and one? Thanks for all the hard work. Yes, I definitely do. I always recommend that. If you do disk encryption and someone tries to hack into your computer by putting in a thumb drive that has an operating system on it and boots up off that thumb drive, they can gain access to your hard drive with no problems at all. But if you put a, an encryption on that hard drive, they will not be able to do that at all. As part of the disk encryption, you will be issued a series of numbers, You want to make sure that you write that down.
43:29
That series of numbers, I think, you know, you could even put into your Ledger Live, sorry, that, your lead your life, to your LastPass to, to hold it there.
43:40
It's most likely, someone is not going to be getting into that. I would never put my 24 words or 12 words type of thing into LastPass, but I met him asked password, that type of thing. I feel comfortable as long as you have two factor authentication on that.
43:57
OK, Blondie, Hi, George. I tried logging into ledger to view my theta T fuel, but theta wallet didn't recognize a ledger attached. So I tried to updating the ledger live and logging in but it says, My password is wrong. I'm now having a panic about what I've done wrong and not being able to access. Do you have a video showing what to do?
44:21
If your password is wrong and let your live leger live, you can reset the password when you reset the password. Basically, it erases everything and lead your life. It doesn't erase things on your ledger hardware wallet. It just erases the accounts that you have on your life. So, what you would need to do is just add those accounts back.
44:41
You haven't lost anything, you just have more work ahead of you because you'd have to go to your spreadsheet if you have it or what's on your ledger itself, and just add those accounts back for some really good videos.
44:59
I'm going to point you back to, we're gonna go here, bitcoin academy dot IO, Go to the Founders page.
45:10
And scroll down, and right here, Crypto Dad. He has some great videos. He's done a lot of videos.
45:19
He's a good tech guy and his videos are slow, and they just show you what to do and any leger setup, how to use the ledger, that type of thing.
45:35
I really, say, don't spend your money with me or, really, anybody else. First, go to crypto dad. watch his videos because the best part is, he will show it to you, right in front of you. Whereas, if you work with myself or Jeddah Red or ordinate, you've got to do that on your own and we can't show you through whatever mechanism is. We're, we're communicating with you. So crypto data is a, is a great resource for that.
46:10
Um, OK.
46:17
I found a new airdrop solo solo for XRP holders.
46:23
That's great.
46:25
Um, low George. I'm having trouble sending ship to kill him Brown. I'm using ...
46:30
a masked wallet on Firefox, on my MacBook Pro, I have the ship and E keys on my ledger Nano S, I have about 105 and Ethereum and my wallet and when I try to send, it just fails, I think it may have trouble connecting to my ledger. I'm not prompted to approve the transaction.
46:52
Another factor is that there is only a couple of USB C ports on, my MacBook and I'm going through an adapter on my ledger. I can see the coins on my meta mask.
47:06
I would. OK, I'm going to back up a little bit.
47:10
Um.
47:11
one of the reasons why I am going with a 16 inch instead of my 13 inch, which I love, I don't really travel that much.
47:22
But right now the 16 inch has three Thunder Port.
47:27
Uh, Thunder Bolt for ports.
47:31
The 13 inch has two.
47:36
Let's see, where is that? Yeah. two Thunderbird. 200 Bolt port.
47:43
Having two as compared to three is a huge difference for me, because what I don't do anymore is use an adapter.
47:55
When I use my ledger hardware wallet, when am I use my ubiquity and partly because, I don't know if it's built into the ledger. Because these are true security keys, you can think of a ledger. Is security key. Just like a yuba is the security key. What they don't want to do is have a, what they call a man in the middle attack.
48:16
And the man in the middle attack is a way that you think you're communicating directly from like your ledger to the computer.
48:26
It's mainly, man in the middle attack is kinda networking, mainly where it's referred to, but I think what Leger has, is that And, and maybe, you know, other hardware wallet providers is that if they see that it's not a great connection or direct connection, it may not connect properly. Whether or not, it's, they can't connect properly or that it detects it as being a strange connection and it won't connect properly. That, I won't, I don't know, and they're not going to tell me if I ask, because that's part of their security strategy.
49:05
So, if you're having a problem, what I would do, first thing, make sure your laptop is charged and don't go through an adaptor.
49:15
I've had plenty of people where I don't know if the adapter went bad or what happened. But when they removed the adapter, it worked fine.
49:25
So, as part of what I had talked about before, and I think it's in a prior tech Saturday only, get cables that go directly from whatever you're using to the computer itself. I know, you know, the ledger X and the ledger as they come with the older USB connection and they don't come with USB C to USB C so, go to Amazon. Look back at the show notes on an earlier Saturday only. And there are cables that you can use that do a direct connection so you don't have to use an adapter. That is the first thing that I would do before troubleshooting anything more because that has, that has solved my issues in the past.
50:19
Hi, George, can you tell me your thoughts on blur? I have LastPass and delete me already, and I love them.
50:25
I also have your VPN. It seems, blur is being advertized as another way to hide your identity online. Any options would be or opinions on this. I don't have an opinion on on blur right now. I looked at it briefly awhile ago, and I just have not gone down that road. Because there are other things that I use, like, simple login.
50:50
Um, and because I have, because I have other things in my life, I would love to look at that. But I am not going to look at anything new until after this run because I just need to keep my focus. I mean, I was gonna bring up some things like on privacy, and how to do this, that, and the other, and I thought it would be best for people just staying on course, and this stuff can all be handled after this run is because I missed the last run in 2017. I am not going to miss this run. And so I am staying on task.
51:26
Hello, George, can you give me your opinion on the best secure e-mail service? Do you consider a proton to be the best choice? Thank you. Proton is a good choice.
51:36
There's not a best choice.
51:38
what people have to remember is that I could kind of go on forever on this, but proton mail is an encrypted e-mail service.
51:50
which is great when you need it? 95% of the e-mails that I send it and receive, I don't need to have encrypted.
52:00
And you gotta remember, you can have a proton mail account which is encrypted, except for two things.
52:07
The two and from and the subject those are not encrypted.
52:12
The e-mail itself is encrypted, but if you send it out two, I would have proton mail and let it's not encrypted.
52:24
So, if you send it from proton proton and there's some communications that I do with people proton proton just because I just don't want this information out in the public. If you leave proton mail, it's not encrypted.
52:38
And just know that and this is not a conspiracy when I say this, but when e-mail is sent to the Internet, there is it will end up in a depository in, you know, maybe Utah. But there's a big facility that was created and and built there where your e-mail, your voicemail, is being harvested isn't stored whether or not it will ever be looked at I don't know if you do something bad. Maybe it will be.
53:09
So, you know, just know that when e-mail is sent, it goes and what they call clear text and it goes across the internet. And anybody if it's intercepted, can read it and just just know that. But what the best service is and for what you need. I have multiple services.
53:27
The one that I use day-to-day is my, you know, my my own domain, my black lab and I feel fine sending and receiving, you know, orders from Caleb ... brown or sent across that. I use my proton for other things that might be a little bit more private.
53:45
If I wanted to send a some of my trust documents or some business documents that I don't want out in the clear, I will ask that person. Do you have, you know, a proton mail address and I will send it to them that way. And I'm not going to put in the subject line.
54:04
This is my trust, or, you know, exactly what the document is.
54:08
I'll just be like, hey, put that as a subject line, and it won't draw that much attention. But proton is a good e-mail provider but it's not your your only one that you could use.
54:21
I find it much easier to to use outlook on my desktop.
54:26
I've been using the same e-mail address since the nineties, so I will not be switching everything over to proton Elaine. It will not be small money. When things pop, you are correct.
54:42
Sorry, George above above comment was meant for Crystal Ball and Dan. No problem. Elaine. Hi. Thanks for what your Thanks for doing this webinar. I'm having trouble using my crypto dot com as an alternative to Mew. What video did you address that in, or can you go over my crypto? I can't right now, because I need to set that up before because I would need to have a bogus wallet.
55:12
Um, because I don't want everybody to see what I have.
55:15
Um, it really depends on the issues that you're having.
55:20
So, it, I can't solve the issue without knowing like, hey, this is the error that I'm getting because it could be, it's a ledger app is not up to date. You could be using a, an older or a non standard ledger cable. So it's hard to say from that I don't have a my crypto go through because I just, I haven't he did that, But if you send that to me, I'll see what what I might think it might be. But most of the time, when people e-mail in and say, hey, I have this problem with this wallet and be like, yeah, it could be 1,000,001 things and I can't even take a stab at it through an e-mail because I just go through in my head and go click, click, click, click, click, and make sure everything is OK. So, let's go, oh, it's OK, we'd been in an hour.
56:12
Let's go to questions that you guys have submitted.
56:18
And there aren't that many. So, let's see.
56:23
Um, OK, this is from Al.
56:30
in Thursday's Livestream, someone mentioned or asked about, Well, Kaolin Brown require a tag or a memo with ... transactions. Can you explain this, thanks?
56:39
There are quite a few coins out there that are going to need a tag or a memo.
56:47
And what that means is I'm just, I can't go through all the different ones. But X L M and XRP are kind of sister chains there.
56:58
They're based on the same technology and you'll notice that when you have XRP in an exodus wallet or your own leger wallet, you always have to keep, I think it's now 20 XRP in there.
57:14
That's just their standard way of of doing things.
57:18
The same with Excel M, You can't send every Excel am out of a wallet.
57:25
one has to remain, why that is, it's, it's based on their Blockchain and to lock up coins that you're never going to get off for every wallet that you create. But what happens is a place like Finance or Kale von Brown or ..., They do not want you to have 20 XRP locked up in your wallet. Because you're going to scream and say, why can't I get my 20 XRP out? And then they have to tell you why technically in your eyes would glaze over, and you won't pay attention.
58:00
So what they do is they have one main wallet that comes in as XRP as X L M and the memo ... your account.
58:12
So if it asks for a memo, it basically means that that memo is tagged to your account. So that XRP or X L M, or Hedera Hashgraph. There's a couple others that I know off the top my head.
58:28
Alexia, we'll all need a memo put into it, so that they know what account to put that under.
58:40
Oh and Jeddah, thank you! It's now 10 XRP.
58:44
The purpose is to stop spam wallets well from clogging the blockchain and so that there'll be a lot of locked up coins that you can never get off.
58:54
This is from ER high. What network cable do you recommend for an H P laptop? I want to get away from using WI Fi. Thanks for all that.
59:02
You do Depends on how your network is set up.
59:07
I Have I actually just upgraded my My wireless network, I added a A New piece to it last night.
59:18
Because I was tired of having things drop off in my living Room, But it depends on your network. How you have it.
59:26
setup how you have your cable Modem command or your Your It would be great if everybody had fiber.
59:36
But if you have a Cat five or Cat six Ethernet cable And you can stretch it far enough to wherever you plug your Internet in that's that's all you really need Yeah, having the the Ethernet is your best option. I know that there, Dangles, and there are other things depending on your hardware. You may have to dangle off something so that your laptop or your computer will connect to an Ethernet cable. And it really depends on what your laptop, what your HP laptop, has. I know.
1:00:18
On the on the Mac side of things, you can see that none of them have A Um, an Ethernet cable, you'd have to do a dongle.
1:00:33
It's nice that they have an HDMI port, especially if you want to plug it in and watch Apple, TV Plus or other things.
1:00:43
So, it really just depends. But a, Cat five or above?
1:00:49
So anything like a Cat, five E, Cat six, Cat, six E. I've seen Cat, eight, cat means category, and so, the better the cable, the higher the category, you're not gonna need anything above Cat, five E or six.
1:01:10
So, don't spend the money on an eight, because, then, you're talking about, you know, 10 gigs going through it. But, yeah, it just really depends on your situation, and what, what setup you have.
1:01:29
OK, Dawn, I can't remember if it was you.
1:01:32
That said the latest Mac OS makes the older Macs running on Intel SLO, is that correct?
1:01:39
As I haven't updated my MacBook Air, to the latest version because of it.
1:01:45
That will probably always be the case.
1:01:48
Because number one, Apple is going toward the, the M one, it's their own Apple silicon, so they're writing the silicon, they're the burning the Silicon specifically for their operating system, so it's going to function much better.
1:02:09
Um, there's something if you have a new M one, and you try to install something that is not written natively, you'll see something called Rosetta pop up and it'll say, Do you want to install Rosetta? And it's OK to install Rosetta.
1:02:27
I know that came up when people were running the Theta Edge node and Roseta needs to be installed for some of the older applications to run correctly on the new chips.
1:02:44
So will it make it a little bit slower Probably because every operating system gets bigger and more complex. And so because of that the older chip's won't run as fast. You may not notice it. It probably just depends on what you're trying to do.
1:03:03
You know, you're gonna need to up it.
1:03:07
It's best to keep updated on things if your hardware is slowing down because when you put on the latest operating system, I know, I can say this, because, you know, you're like, ah, Georgia kinda going on about this, and I don't want to hear about it anymore. But, because I use it every day, because now computers are not like they were Back in the day when, you know, a family thought, Oh, we're gonna get one computer, we're gonna put it in the kitchen. And everybody can use that computer, now nowadays use Computer for just about everything that you do, and you want to make sure that you have something that's really reliable. You may not use it that often, and it may not bother you.
1:03:49
But if no upgrading, I haven't noticed a speed decrease.
1:03:57
But I'm on the M one chip, so I can't tell you how much slower juran you may work with the, with the Intel. I don't think it's going to be that much, but I don't know what version you have. Some of the hardware, you can't even update.
1:04:13
And I think part of that, they do to, you know, as a marketing thing. Like, if you can't upgrade to the latest iOS, you're going to have to go buy another computer. The other is it can't support some of the older hardware and the older chips.
1:04:29
Mark you mentioned in the last livestream that you no longer have iOS T on your i-phone wallet.
1:04:36
What are you holding it now because that is where I have mine on HOBY mobile wallet I had it on my my phone.
1:04:48
I want to upgrade my phone to an i-phone 13 and I know I'm going to be getting out in December, so mine is actually overt kale and brown. I know I know.
1:05:00
It has not been sold yet in a maybe a couple of weeks before it sold, but I was also holding iOS T for two other people. Because one of them was a long term hold for a friend.
1:05:14
A very good friend, and the other was a friend that said, Oh, my gosh, Finance, let me on. I have iOS T, I have C a coin, I have no place for it to land. So I took their iOS T, and I took their C A coin, just so that they could get it off, because they had to do everything in five days.
1:05:34
So if you have it on your i-phone or, you know, whatever mobile phone you're using, you can leave it on there until, you know, if things go well in December, and just send it off. But I wanted to get some of, my harder ones off my Wallet. Plus, I wanted the people that were on that wallet to get out of my wallet. Because if I do upgrade, I don't want to have to worry about things transferring over properly. And it was just going to be too much work. I know citadel Wallet is a good one.
1:06:09
Um, just make sure. you know, you create the citadel wallet correctly. But no you can leave it on there for Rob, for now. You know and this reminds me because I was talking to well not talking but texting with someone and they said you know a bunch of us. Bench team members got together and had coffee. And and there was kind of a little gathering that they had. Which I thought was, was really great. Because it seems like, you know, there's a commonality that people can sit down and have coffee and talk about you. know potentially things going really well for Christmas. But, that, you know, that people can get together. Not just online, but actually in person: Like, we used to do in the good old days, but now it just seems like everything is virtual.
1:07:08
This is from Sandra. Hi, George. Is. Or was there an airdropped for ada? And any update on pulse chain?
1:07:15
I did not do sacrifice, but not sure what else, If any, I'm supposed to do.
1:07:22
I don't know if an Airdropped for for Ada, maybe there was one a long time ago, but I don't think so. Maybe there's one coming up. If someone says, there's an airdrop, I would always go to the official website or source to make sure that that's correct.
1:07:38
And because there's been so many scams with Ada YouTube channels that are broadcasting supposedly something that's live that I know wisser recorded, like, you know, months ago, that if it says, Oh, here is, you know, send us one thousand ada. And you'll get 2008 back. Because we just like to do that.
1:08:02
It's a scam.
1:08:03
If it says send us a thousand ada, and we'll send you 1008 back with an airdrop, it's a scam anytime you have to send your coins out of your control, which means out of your wallet.
1:08:20
99% of the time, It's a scam that could change you know Boba you kept in your wallet even though you moved it from layer one to layer two but? Just be real cautious on any supposedly airdrops. There's no update on pulse chain. He is going to just do it when he wants to do it I know it's not easy to clone the Ethereum blockchain and have everything work really well.
1:08:51
What he does not want to have happen is like happened with OMG and OMG and I'm not gonna get into trading But let's go to Yeah, whoops.
1:09:09
Coin market cap. This is a hot topic a little while ago.
1:09:12
And let's go to O M G OMG! we all know just had a wonderful ride up.
1:09:25
Um, partly due to the ...
1:09:31
announcement, and so, everybody was buying OMG to participate in the boba airdrop.
1:09:39
And then, you know, OMG, dropped off to kind of where it was before everybody was pumping it, to get the bulb airdropped.
1:09:49
Well, he does not want, um, people to do that with pulse chain, So if you don't know when pulse chain snapshot is going to be, you're just going to go onto your your day to day business. And if he announces that, it's going to be tomorrow, or that it happened yesterday. Well, then, it's just going to be a snapshot of something that is common, and not, Let's go ahead and buy a bunch of ..., or a bunch of tokens in a particular coin, because we want the pulse chain airdrop of those, So that's why, I believe, he has not announced that.
1:10:28
OK, partito, or have you heard any issues with the new MS osse Windows 11?
1:10:37
I'm getting prompted to update, but we'll probably wait for a little while before doing any updates. Any insights would be appreciated.
1:10:47
So Windows 11, I don't really have.
1:10:51
You know, I'm not caring that much about Windows 11 right now.
1:10:57
I will, after this big move, but honestly, like, I have been spending so much time getting people through some, Some, really, some big issues that they have with their coins, that I'm just focusing on the little things like the Mac. Because I want a Mac. And some of the day-to-day things that are relevant for everyone here.
1:11:21
I know, you know, Windows 11 is pretty relevant to your day-to-day work.
1:11:28
But I'm not going to go down that road because there's so many things that need to get done, especially for me, before the end of the year. So, I don't have an opinion, you can wait on that.
1:11:39
I always think it's best to wait until the second release is done, unless you want to no, potentially, potentially run into problems.
1:11:51
Usually when I update my Mac, I update my laptop first, and then, my desktop because my desktop is my go to and I use it all the time. But if I find that there are issues with the software that I'm running on the laptop, then I won't do it on the desktop until that issue is fixed.
1:12:12
OK, this is from EM.
1:12:13
My QM is on ledger. I used to have QM core Do I still need, nope. If you have everything off the QM core, you don't need your kingdom core anymore.
1:12:26
Now I would always backup the wallet dot dat file, no matter what.
1:12:32
And keep a copy of it because it can't hurt to keep a copy because potentially, let's just say, someone announces an airdrop that occurred prior to their announcement date. And if it was on cue them, and you through that away and got rid of everything, well, if you kept that wallet dot dat file, you remembered the password, then you might be able to claim that airdrop, depending on you know, there's not an airdrop on cue them that I know of. But this is why you keep a copy of your wallet dot dat file on any core because you can go back and claim something if there's something that is announced in the future for a time period that happened in the past.
1:13:19
Elaine, did I hear you correctly that your cute, um, wallet took 23 to 24 weeks to update or did you mean 23 to 24 hours? I cannot get on my cute them wallet to update. There's always a certain percentage incomplete. I think the wallet is empty have not tried to update with Big Sur OS, maybe old laptop with the problem.
1:13:43
Check the version of your cute um wallet because that is the issue. It's not that it took 23 to 24 weeks. What it did was, it showed that, let's see, where did I go?
1:13:58
one of these ahead, here while there we go.
1:14:04
It showed that my wallet was like two weeks behind three weeks behind when I did the update. Then it took it back 23 to 24 weeks behind, and it took I was working with someone this week.
1:14:18
Um, He does is his exact issue that he had.
1:14:22
He just needed to update the QM Core and it Went back to, you know, I think it was 26 weeks, 24 weeks, something like that. It took 23 hours for it to update. But once it updated, then, you know, he could send the coins, and receive, and it was back normal. So I would try to update your Ketone core wallet and That issue should go away.
1:14:49
OK, and Dustin says totally get it.
1:14:54
Good. Good.
1:14:56
Tom, hi George, which of your courses, do you explain how to encrypt store information on a thumb drive that you can give to someone for safekeeping, that is on and I don't promote it that much just because because that's me.
1:15:14
But if you go to the bitcoin academy dot net, under technology, there's the cybersecurity bootcamp 20, 21, there's still a couple that I need to do, I now, I, I, went up and I went someplace to get away for the week without my family. And, I was going to do a bunch of these, and ended up doing none, because there were people that needed some, some big help.
1:15:45
It was more important for those coins to be found then, to get this out, but I have about half of the VPN class done. The pi whole class.
1:15:56
Uh, I have some of it done. But the problem I'm finding is I cannot get any Raspberry PIs.
1:16:05
And I haven't been able to get Raspberry PI's for two months.
1:16:07
Now, There's a worldwide shortage of Raspberry PIs and the Raspberry Pi is the, um, what I run my Pi whole software on.
1:16:18
So, yeah, the cybersecurity class, it should be through part two, somewhere, backup and encryption, and hardware wallets in 24 words. So right in here is where I show how to do a both on Windows and Mac, a, an encrypted thumb drive, and how you can store that somewhere else.
1:16:46
And this is from Ryan.
1:16:48
In discussing backups, I've historically only done file or folder backups. I have both Windows and Mac OS, is there an app or software that would do a broader backup for these OS says? Well, you know what? It? It depends. It really depends on what you need. The majority of things nowadays don't need your whole computer backed up because if something dies, you just put the operating system back on and you're good to go. Now, some of the core wallets that's a little bit different.
1:17:19
Um, I use Windows. I've never honestly trusted their backups. Every time I seem to have had an issue and I've gone to the backup. There's always been an issue with the backup I gave up backing up their stuff.
1:17:39
six years ago.
1:17:40
It may have been it may have become better maybe Jeddah can can chime in on that, but I always backup my things individually that I need because my backup system is different than anybody else's Because it's unique to me.
1:17:59
When I back things up, yes, I have, um, have a hard drive on my main Mac and that runs Time Machine.
1:18:12
And that, you know, every time a file has changed at all backup to time machine at a given time. But that's not good enough for me. It's great.
1:18:22
In case I lose something, I think I've only used it once in the last three years.
1:18:27
But what I do is part of, you know, the cybersecurity class.
1:18:32
I backup everything in triplicate two different devices.
1:18:37
So if I have a core wallet, I backup that to a thumb drive and that thumb drive is cloned, like, keep one openly with me. That's encrypted. And then one in a safe or a safe place.
1:18:50
And then, on a weekly or monthly, depending on how busy I've been with that thumb drive, I will back that up to another hard drive as a complete backup of the thumb drive. You know, basically just copy everything over. And on that hard drive, I have backups of all my thumb drive backups.
1:19:14
Going on four years now.
1:19:17
And so if I found something that was corrupt, I could go back and back and back and back to potentially the original one and and get that backup. So I'm not backing up my whole computer. I'm only backing up the things. I really need to be backed up. So I'm not worrying about backing up an operating system or backing up software that I don't necessarily need.
1:19:44
And I think that, personally, is the best way to do it, because you're backing up what you need, not necessarily what you don't need, so space doesn't become as important, And what really becomes important is that your backups are not just stored in one place.
1:20:03
They're stored in multiple places, because the question that I asked people when, when they, you know, talk about backups and 24 words and that type of thing, and I say, OK.
1:20:15
So you go to work one day and you come home and space aliens have taken your house. And you're never going to see your house again.
1:20:23
Can you recreate your 24 words to a new leger, with what just occurred? So, if you didn't have your house, Basement's gone, everything has gone.
1:20:36
Do you have your 24 words?
1:20:38
Do you have your backups somewhere else so that you don't lose your fortune?
1:20:43
And in that example, you know, my 24 words are backed up in multiple places, as well as all my other documents.
1:20:53
And because I'm not backing up an entire computer, computer operating system, applications, I can get everything on one thumb drive, and I can take that and leave that at a relative's house that's encrypted and say, this is really important to me. Can you hold onto this?
1:21:12
No, I did try that with a friend. And he's not listening, so it doesn't matter.
1:21:16
But I gave it to him, and he was, you know, on the other side of the country, and I asked him, about six months later, I said, Hey, can I have that thumb drive? I wanna send you another one, is like, what thumb drive? Like, oh, God. The thumb drive that I gave you, because just in case something happened, he's like, oh, wow. Look around for that. I didn't feel that bad because it was encrypted, but I was kind of annoyed more than anything.
1:21:42
And so what I did was I changed the way I, I distribute my thumb drives, and he is not included in on that. And he did find it.
1:21:54
And I just had him erase it in a particular way So that it was it was just gone, but everybody has to have their own strategy. I know some people have an office down the street and they have a safe there, and they can put a thumb drive in there. Some people have a relative, you know, states away. So, it really just depends. But I would say not backing up the computer or the entire operating system, but the files that you need and structuring it that way so that you just keep the things that you need updated. So, I can't say this is the best thing. Backing up the entire operating system, because I've never really had good luck with that.
1:22:37
OK, Readin, warm wave, hello G Newbie question. I am very interested to buy a new Mac and one since bean.
1:22:49
Long, I think longtime Windows user any thoughts on the best educational modules to get myself up and running quickly?
1:22:58
Do you mean educational, like, how to do this, that and the other?
1:23:03
If you do, the one great thing about YouTube is, that people just put about anything out there, And I would look on, that, I don't know of a class, per se, That is, this is how to run a Mac, because everybody wants it a little bit different. But there, I know that there are some really good YouTube videos out there on how a Mac works, how the latest a West might work. That's where I would start I don't have a class, per se, that I can point you to and say this is a really good one.
1:23:41
OK, Sandra, I have the original wax, Oh, on my wax wallet. Oh, on your wax wallet. OK, so, the original wax, not an ERC 20 wax on wax wallet that I'm having problems accessing this from the 2008 wax token.
1:24:00
Do you think these are the wax?
1:24:04
I think you mean ERC 20 points. I might not be ..., accessing the wall it correctly, I just frustrated.
1:24:11
So I not tried lately.
1:24:14
Sandra, are you accessing it from a year off from an Ethereum wallet, or are you accessing your wax from a EOS wallet?
1:24:27
That's well, EOS based Wallet. That is the thing, too, that I need to know if you're doing it from an ERC 20 Ethereum wallet. There's no bridges, and just hold onto your wax, and maybe someday they'll open the bridge again.
1:24:46
But right now, there's no way to convert your wax from a ERC 20 to the wax, main net.
1:24:56
Partito a million, thanks to you, and Jay, you guys rock. Thank you.
1:25:01
OK, Mark, just upgraded my i-phone to a 13, many last week and everything transferred smoothly. Yeah, they have done an amazing job.
1:25:14
Being able to transfer your, your files and your phone.
1:25:20
Like, if you have an i-phone and you want to upgrade from the 12 to 13, you set them by each other. You run through this little thing, and it just does an amazing job. I know that they have the same thing with the Desktop models. I never update that way, because I want to leave all my garbage from my desktop or my laptop behind. I just copy the files.
1:25:43
Because it goes back to Ryan's question of, well, what do I backup on my desktop? Because I don't know what I don't know, and I might have caught a virus, or malware or something like that? I don't. I'd most likely, I did not, and I don't think that I ever have, because I'm pretty particular about that. But I only copy the files that I need, and then re-install the applications.
1:26:08
I don't do the migration from one to the other.
1:26:12
Um, and so, that's just my style. Your style may be a little bit different, but congratulations.
1:26:18
Mark, I'm gonna be behind you on that, 13, but I'm gonna give my 12 to my mom, because she has a 10.
1:26:27
And so it's all this process of upgrades. Whenever I upgrade my phone, I don't sell my phone, I give it to a relative, and then I take their phone. And I'll sell that one.
1:26:40
This is from K D hi, George. I've left all my OMG and exodus secured by treasure. Good for you.
1:26:48
Any action on my part to get the boba airdrop, or did I miss out? I don't think you were able to put it on an exodus, but I don't know.
1:27:00
Let's take a look.
1:27:02
Oh.
1:27:09
Because I know exchanges were doing it.
1:27:12
But exodus is kind of a wallet.
1:27:15
And um, oh, you know, I was wrong Jetta, you're right, it was finance US. I didn't see that earlier.
1:27:26
I thought it was just buy nance dot com, but I don't think that you're gonna get the airdrop while they added a bunch of exchanges in the last minute.
1:27:37
You're really not going to get the airdrop with Access, because it is a wallet.
1:27:41
And you needed to move to the L from the L one to the L two, layer, one, to layer two, to get that.
1:27:49
The only other way was to send it to a, an exchange, And I did not send my to an exchange. If I miss out, I miss out and I'll be a little bit sad, but but not that said.
1:28:05
OK, Lane. I have a functioning i-phone, S E, 14.8 point 1 from 20 16, but I'm worried it will be outdated soon.
1:28:15
I'm not soon. I think it's kinda outdated now. I like the size of it. Do you have any thoughts or upgrading to the same size, i-phone and newest OS?
1:28:26
I do have thoughts, I have.
1:28:31
Let's go to i-phone.
1:28:33
I have two i-phones for various reasons.
1:28:38
I have the i-phone 12 and I have stop the marketing, just want stats.
1:28:53
They show it, I have one. That is the i-phone 12 mini And then I have my regular i-phone 12, 1 that I use day to day and one that I use for work.
1:29:07
I would go into an Apple Store once close or go into Target, or any other, you know, Verizon, pick up the hold, the i-phone 12 mini actually, you can go into Costco if there's Costco close and see which one best works for you. I prefer the i-phone 12. My husband prefers the 12 mini.
1:29:32
The many is too small for me to read stuff but I'm a bit older and I need reading glasses when I have my contacts. And so, you know, I prefer a bigger screen than the than the 12 many, but, you know, it's such a personal choice, And, so, I would go in and take a look, no part of having a phone. that old is battery, life, and other things, and it just, it would suck if it.
1:29:59
Just, know, if it died all of a sudden. And those are some of the things, that, that you need to think up, But I, Oh, you know, why am I talking about the many, 12th, if you're gonna get something?
1:30:11
Treat yourself right.
1:30:13
Go to the 13, 13 is the same kind of situation, where they have a smaller.
1:30:25
And kind of mid-range, the mini and the 13, just regular.
1:30:32
If you really, for anybody wants a little laptop that they are carrying around, um, then, you know, you can go with the pro model. The pro model is way too big for what I want, and it's overkill.
1:30:46
I don't need a lot of, I don't do a lot of photos in it that are, you know, high-end like that. I don't need a lot of memory because the only thing that takes up memory on my phone is pictures, and I store that a different way. But, yeah, you know, going in and holding it, it's such a personal choice and that's probably the best way to figure it out.
1:31:12
Yeah, redeem, Yeah, how to work the Mac. I would go look it. I don't think crypto dad has it, but I think there are a bunch of YouTube channels out there that will show you how to do the different things on a Mac, and kinda get comfortable with it. I don't know of any course that really could be sold nowadays because their YouTube channels out there, just kind of showing it for free.
1:31:36
Kay.
1:31:38
three more questions, our three minutes over, OK, This is from, um, Christine, Christina Marianna, George George.
1:31:53
I liked my exodus with meta mask.
1:31:58
Oh, you linked your exodus with meta mask to the L one for Boba OK yeah, that is, that is great.
1:32:13
Sherry, if we had OMG on Finance do you know where we will see the airdrop for boba I have to sell.
1:32:24
I have a sell order on it. Do you know if that makes a difference, ineligibility, with boba?
1:32:31
Thanks, in the meantime.
1:32:32
I don't know. I know that the snapshot was on the 12th, and then the 19th is when the airdrop will actually happen.
1:32:44
So you're going to have to wait to see where it ends up in finance. Really that's kind of a question for finance. They may have hard and fast rules like you have to, you know, keep your OMG until the 19th.
1:32:59
I don't know, but since it's there, their playground, their sandbox, they get to make the rules.
1:33:08
K: And this is from Sandra, and it looks like the last one.
1:33:12
I've had two instances now, where it took over a week to get my coins to Carolyn Brown.
1:33:20
First time was, tells us, luckily, it was a test, and due to the main maintenance issues at Carolyn Brown, they gave me another address, and it went fine for the balance.
1:33:34
On 11 four, I did a test for Carolyn Brown Deposit Address from Coinbase, and it was fine. I used the same deposit.
1:33:44
Caitlin Brown address to move 44 link from, uh, FEMA Max to Carolyn Brown, sent 11 4, and they just arrived 11, 12, and waiting for Kevin Brown to get into the office, to find out why it took so long.
1:34:02
Not sure if it was the FEMA exide, which said, it was sent successfully, or the kale and Brown side, I'll let you know what they say. There's one easy way to find out. No exchanges, sometimes we'll hold it for a period of time.
1:34:20
Sending out, But if you look on the Blockchain for that particular transaction, you will see when it actually sent out. And I know some exchanges hold them for a period of time for some strange reason, but yet all of that can be found out on the blockchain on when it was really sent out and really received. So that is last question. Thank you for joining me this Saturday and maybe we will try this in two weeks.
1:34:51
Thanks. Have an amazing Saturday.
