For now, mostly on used hardware and the occasional windows 10/office key 

yea some pricing for each model would be helpful, also were they run at stock speeds or OC'd?

my bet would be elevated cortisol and lack of sleep, but im no doctor, i just play one on the internet.

Seriously though, poor sleep can be the easiest and fastest way to kill your testosterone, but thankfully also the easiest/fastest way to get it back up, literally.

As a phrase higher education is a pretty good one, because learning never ends because always something higher 

As for the debate about college and it's pricing, my advice to any young person is to go BUT don't go into debt for it and assuming you're not going to a world class university (harvard, yale, etc) pick whichever is cheapest.

I had a website that was in an industry with rapant paypal disputes, one way we solved it is by adopting a simple and easy "KYC' process of SMS verification, requiring facebook to signup, and having an agent contact them via skype chat. Fraudsters love automated orders, they hate any human interaction and we cut our dispute rates from nearly 6% to less than 1%.

Your business will almost always be a better investment, assuming you have a plan for return and aren't just trying to stuff it with money. Bitcoin is in a class of it's own because there really isn't a floor to it, even in an apocalypse situation at least your business can be torn down for wood for fires and plumbing pipes can be refitted as weapons to club zombies with.

When i'm angry or get sad, I try to remember how silly and fleeting our emotions are. I'm sure when we were kids losing our favorite toy felt like the absolute end of the world but a year later we would look back and be bored of that toy and want it gone. The stakes are a little bit higher as an adult, but not by much. Is that idiot almost crashing into you worthy of rage? Probably not.

Its possible but then you have to look at Costa Rica, a country which prides itself on its tourism/hospitality/service industry and the attention to detail they give it, everyone who goes there loves the service because the staff is so great. A robot AI may be efficient but if you have to choose between that and a friendly and charismatic bartender... i think I know who will make the most tips 

The two will bark at each other, maybe a small nip or scratch, but they won't dare bite. They both know they gain nothing from a real trade war and right now they're just trying to safely build up leverage for negotations.

Some short term pain yes but in the long run they'll both wakeup and come to an agreement.

No, though I have seen one claim to be the "unofficial" Satoshi telegram channel, probably a scam 

I've been using coinpayments for about 2 years on a small ecommerce site and while not a lot of orders go through with it customers do seem happy and I've had no complaints. Since they're the largest you'll probably have the most compatibility with multiple shopping carts.

Unlikely with the current confusion regarding taxes with bicoin, though it would be possible for a player to declare he's moving all of his payments over to bitcoin which would garner about as much media attention especially if it's a well known player.

I think day trading and GPU mining are the safest bets, though they are still bets...

Day trading will teach you skills you can keep with you and apply to any financial investment and even if GPU mining goes straight to 0 at least you still have the hardware. In a worst case scenario you're stuck with hundreds/gpus of GPUs and over wired warehouse at least you'll be able to either sell the GPUs or lease out your GPU power for deep learning/ai.

The 2 biggest hurdles are

1) Getting crypto into the hands of people who don't have it so they can spend it, this would require banks or money services such as paypal/western union etc to offer easy, fast, and cheap crypto funding into your wallet.

2) Getting people to spend it, tougher in a bull market as there is the mindset of "losing money" and because transaction fees jump.

At the moment its vastly easier, safer, and cheaper to opt for using your credit card over crypto especially for people who don't have any yet.

I'm waiting, even if they are equal or navi is worse for mining waiting will allow you to save some $$$ as a new burst of radeon used 7s go on the market and retailers/distributors start discounting their current inventory. At this point there are a lot of navi leaks but tech leaks are about as reliable as a coin flip.

Tunneling in would be an option but also opens up the risk if you have a keylogger or for some reason find yourself as a high priority target for somebody that they literally monitor your in real time. It may sound paranoid but it's actually a feature of many commercially available "RATs" aka remote administration tools. They can have 10,000 infected PCs, then begin filtering them by OS, location, installed software, visited websites, recorded keystrokes, etc and then getting screenshots every x seconds and real time keystrokes.

My current setup is a wireless mouse/keyboard dongle that I just unplug from the front of my main PC to my odroid and my monitor lets me switch between multiple inputs so I use that as my display, much easier than the days of messing with wires and constantly rotating usb plugs so until they'd fit 

That's a pretty good domain as far as cctld's are concerned, I think you'd get a very decent offer on flippa or brandbucket.

PC security should always be a priority but when dealing with crypto wallets I think we can all agree something more besides routine virus scans, automatic updates, and avoiding sketchy sites/applications/emails would be wise. This is especially true if you're frequently using your crypto and can't store 100% of it in a cold wallet or are in a position to serve as a "gateway" for thieves to gain further access/information about other crypto users by attacking you (crypto site owners, mods/admins of telegram/discord/facebook groups, ICO teams, etc)

A few years ago I started playing around with single board computers or SBCs, the most famous one being the raspberry pi which thanks to its low price made it easy to isolate it as a sort of "banking station" to do things that would require extra security such as online banking/billpay or software-wallet crypto transactions. While it's not 100%, it does add an extra layer of security and in 2019 you can buy a decent amount of power from these tiny computers for under $50.

Nothing else is done on my banking station besides online banking and crypto payments, no emails, no youtube or random sites, strictly 100% financial transactions. While nothing will ever be 100% secure it does provide an extra layer in case I accidentally download something malicious, come across a website with an 0day browser exploit, and there is always exploits in common software such as outlook, skype, winrar, etc that don't require any interaction on your part to infect your system.


Getting one setup is pretty simple and you can get a basic idea of the process with this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUchfyTpOjU

TLDW:

1) Choose a SBC, good choices would be the rock64 or odroid c2 and odroid xu4. They can be purchased on amazon, aliexpress, and at some microcenter/frys electronics/bestbuy stores. For security purposes its best to avoid buying used ones, the odds of hardware-malware are extremely low, but no point in saving $5 or $10 if your ultimate goal is security.

2) Depending on the board you choose, you may need to buy an additional power supply or USB wifi adapter, since these boards run linux not all USB wifi adapters are 100% compatible. Some can be powered with microusb cables but you'll want to make sure they are at least 5v/2a so most cell phone chargers in the past 5 years or so will do the job - but not all of them. Both rock64 and odroid sell their own power supply for $5-$10 and I like those to avoid the temptation of just plugging it into the usb port of my desktop - remember that our goal is to isolate the system. Rock64 and odroid also sell USB wifi adapters, but I like this one from amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EQT0YK2/. Nearly all boards will require a microSD card in order for you to store the OS and files on, for maximum compatibility and reliability I'd suggest class 10 cards. This 32gb kingston card is a great deal at under $5 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079GTYCW4/ and if you don't already have one, an sd card reader: https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Portable-Reader-RS-MMC-Micro/dp/B006T9B6R2/

3) Once you have your SBC, microsd card, and reader device, you'll want to look at the manual or read the board manufacturers website to find the operating system image files. It's important to use the operating systems they provide to ensure everything works 100%. Generally speaking your best choice will be either ubuntu or armbian as these are the 2 with the most documentation but if you're more comfortable with another OS the manufacturer provides by all means go for it.

4) After you download the OS of your choice it will either come as a .zip/.rar or .iso file. If it came as a .zip/.rar go ahead and extract it and then plugin your microsd card + reader, and download the program win32diskimager which is available for free. Win32diskimager does a pretty good job of explaining itself but if you're not sure there are plenty of youtube videos showing the process, you just want to select your microsd card, and write the .iso file containing your operating system to it.

5) Once you've finished writing the operating system to the microsd card you're ready to insert it to your SBC, simply pop it in to the correct slot, connect your power source, usb wifi adapter, a monitor, keyboard, and mouse, and boot up! Depending on the operating system you may be greeted with an option to change your default password or be taken straight into a desktop environment. If it's your first time using a linux based OS take a moment to read/watch some tutorials on basic system management so that you can add a non-root user (for security purposes), perform system updates, and familiarize yourself with some basic operations.

Once it's setup and ready to go remember to only use it for banking and financial purposes, these SBCs are small enough that you can keep them at your main desk and simply plugin your main monitor/keyboard/mouse as needed or if you're going to be using it often invest in a cheapo LCD monitor and wireless keyboard/mouse combo.

Could you PM me your contact info or adjust your "accept PM's from newbies" settings? I'm interested but can't PM you.

Somebody must have held onto these 

I prefer 100% functional and working units but will consider units needing repair.
