Y'all want to see one of the top 10 stupidest things I've ever seen in my life on @Windows? Image
I spent most of the day trying to figure out why my geth node, running in #Docker on #WSL2, wasn't syncing with the network. The hint was that I kept getting notifications that my system time was off. So, I started looking at my system time.
At first time.is was telling me that my system time was behind by about .03 seconds. So I started looking at fixing that. I got that fixed, and https://t.co/qS58GnOaXB said my time was exact. But I was still getting the message, and geth still wasn't syncing.
So I exec'd into the container and looked at its date...it was behind by ~20 seconds. I thought, how can that possibly be? There's no way to set it in the container...and docker should get the time from my host...
Turns out #WSL2 time synchronization is just stupid

So MetaMask says "Just don't use Infura" - so let's see how easy MetaMask makes it to "not use Infura".

Part 1 - Installation:

The first two screens are straight forward here. They seem to provide a clear privacy policy, that's good. ImageImage
Let me open the extension manifest...Oh boy it's already sending "stuff" to Infura. I wasn't able to opt out of using Inufra yet. But there's no accounts yet, so, maybe it's not a big deal, it's just some blockNumber requests, some price feed? Image
It looks like they send an eth_call to 0xb1f8e55c7f64d203c1400b9d8555d050f94adf39 which is a "BalanceChecker" contract...

So let's setup a new account and see what happens. Image

1/ Why I won't be staking ETH at launch, a thread...

#Ethereum #eth2

Like many of you, I am excited for ETH2, the Beacon Chain, Phase 0, and everything that will come after.

I have participated in Onyx, Witti, Altona, and Medalla test networks.

I tried Prysm and Lighthouse.
2/ I ran the clients in docker on Windows, docker in Linux, and bare metal on Linux.

I've opened github issues against both clients multiple times. I even participated in the fuzz testing.
3/ I've pretty much done it all when it comes to getting familiar with the clients, how to run them, how to configure them, etc.

However, I will not be participating in the genesis, and I will not be staking ETH. Why?

Well, a few reasons really.

I got myself a Galaxy Watch 3 and I thought I would play around with creating my own app so I could view the price of ETH on my watch.

So I downloaded everything, installed everything, and I go to run the Emulator only to find out that there's almost zero support for AMD CPUs
Apparently the Tizen emulator relies heavily on Intel HAXM and without it, the emulator is just unbelievably slow. I've been trying to figure out why it won't boot for like an hour...apparently it will boot, eventually, if I just leave it long enough...
It's now been 45 minutes since I posted this and the emulator is still stuck loading the kernel.

I thought I'd check out @Dharma_HQ, downloaded the app, got everything setup, added a debit card, went to deposit some funds and then the fun began.

1. They send me an SMS with a security code, but the entry box where I'm suppose to put this code, does not bring up the keyboard.
2. After I do some copy/paste magic to get the security code from text message to verification box and hit submit I get a big giant red X "Something Went Wrong"

Cool fucking product guys.
Oh and for some unexplained reason the "Home" page never loads, just sits there spinning.

Unboxing and First Impressions of @DCENTwallets Biometric Wallet...

1. Box is cool
2. No Refund if Seal is Broke is dumb as fuck
What if I receive it and it's broken? What if I open it and the device is defective?

3. It's battery powered AND has Bluetooth. I did not know that!
4. It came out of the box basically fully charged, yay.

5. FOUR DIGIT PIN!? WHAT!? FOUR!?

6. Fingerprint Registration is easy...

7. Unclear how many fingerprints are registered or can be registered, but I'm sure it's in the FAQ somewhere.

8. Screen / Interface is nice
9. Why am I presented with so many coin options up front? I should be able to disable crap.

10. Why is ERC20 it's own unique wallet?

11. Firmware was not up to date out of the box...

12. What in the fuck is "D'CENT Bridge" and why do I have to install it to update?

So the @smartthings integration with @IFTTT and @ecobee only works with "temperature drops below" and not "temperature rises above"

Ignoring the fact that it reports my temperature in F when it's actually in C, I still can't get it to trigger on the "above" threshold.
Here we can see 2 identical Applets Image
Rises above has never ran, Drops below has ran 4 times. Why am I using Fahrenheit? Because... ImageImage
