It's just bitcoin I'm storing, is that one I've linked to above a non-custodial wallet or a custodial wallet?

Can anyone tell me how to set up a wallet on my Mac in order to get my coins off coinbase. Is there any clear guide on how to do that. Every link on Google seems to be spam or downloading potentially malicious software. It's very fustr

One massive I'd add to this list that got added recently - being able to copy and paste text out of images. I'm so often sent a screenshot with a url in the url bar, I can now copy and paste that screenshot of a url. It's bee

Looks great! Two things you could do to make it super smooth is speed up the animation by about two thirds, and make it so one book is put back before the second one gets animated outwards.

Reminds me of the time I didn't go into do-no-disturb on a screenshare, I got four messages off my other half in quick succession: "You didn't defrost the pie." "I can't find anything else good to eat." &q

Just spin up a Rails app, pop on a Postgres DB, tailwind CSS, job done. (Only half joking.)

I'm not sure I agree with most of these, it's not the way I'd go about them, but also I don't see what I do in the comments so I'll add my own hopefully unique perspective here. For example with: "you are overc

To play devil's advocate (?), I use them all the time at work, I could argue that it makes me more efficient. Easier to react with a thumb emoji and grinning emoji than than saying "thank you very much for that". However if I

OMG, that substack is fantastic, thank you for that, I've spent the past hour or so reading it - on the most popular emojis observable atm - https://observablehq.com/@jenniferdaniel/unicode-emoji-mirro... - which

Totally agree. You're describing Hanlon's razor. No malace behind blocking it, just a result of incompetence.

When I was staying at my parents over the winter holidays, after they'd gone to be at 9pm, my wifi went down and I had to troubleshoot what on earth was up with my laptop. Turns out my dad turns off the router every night to save energ

When I saw the title I briefly thought this was a re-launch of Pownce, the Twitter competitor.

I absolutely agree that Disulfiram is an awful drug to treat alcohol abuse with, it feels like conversion therapy for taking a drink. Also, there is no fixing of the underlying issue at all with this drug (I'm pointly saying that conve

I'm in the rare category here, but I've got around 50% hearing loss and I love it. I can't hear alarms, or dogs, or radios etc. It's fantastic for living in the city. I've tried a hearing aid and it's like... &

This is going to sound naive, but I've zero idea how to draw my coins out of Coinbase and put them on my Mac / memory stick. I can't seem to find any legitimate source of info on how to do it.

I feel like this is really obvious, but writing tests for everything, you're not necessarily saving time right now, but it is an investment in saving 10x time later when someing 100 miles away in a different files breaks and it's

Wow, I've never thought of "functional programming, immutability, state machines, reactive programming" as time savers, just better ways of coding stuff, I'm a self-taught engineer and literally all of these just seem li

I had a similar, not the same, but similar feeling playing Overcooked¹ with friends. After 30 minutes not one of us was having fun, we were all stressed and trying to tell each other what to do in a fairly annoyed way, which wasn't lik

I read the comment here and haven't see what helped me, so I thought I'd chime in although I might be a bit late to the thread... I stopped trying to be 'funny' in terms of what everyone else thought was funny - such as

A potassium IV should not be painful in the sligtest, it should just be a tiny pin prick when it's going in. Something went wrong if that was hurting.

Well I have to say, the Gen-Z design at the end is full of life and I love it, it embodies fun which is exactly what I want to have on a date.

I think this is quite an opinionated version of nicer and better. I'm personally not a fan of the thin fonts. If it was framed as a class of CSS styles to make websites have that style of super-thin fonts I'd be ok with it. My iss

This is naive question, but I think a valid one, and I'd love to know what you think, is using a domain name to sign in, just moving the issue of losing an account to the domain provider? So instead of Google, your host controls your s

Joing a few different sports clubs and you might find a sport you like. I joined the boxing one and it turned out I really like it (I do not like football that's for sure). The best thing is everyone goes to the pub after so it's

Great article. Thanks very much for it. There's a typo in the heading "Or how to play YouTube videos on you SONOS, easy and for free." I think might want "your SONOS" instead. :)

Which wallet do you use?

by CyanDeparture 5y ago
Thanks for this, super detailed. Which wallet would you recommend? I want to just securely store my Bitcoin, not on an exchange, but I'm happy to buy it there to start with.
