How the hell do you upload a picture from your mobile nowadays? Imgur seems to refuse to allow it and I really want to share a picture of a ballot vote here in Portugal.

Today is election day and someone decided to write "gently caress you, bitcoin fixes this" on their paper vote.

Mind you, he wrote in English, on a Portuguese election.

He also has near daily YouTube stream monitoring bitcoin prices and of course, he says its great if the price goes up and it's also great if it falls.

I can't understand these people.

I almost exclusively use Awful on iPhone to browse here. Any help for the same question?

If I want to share a pic I save to phone, upload via imgur, copy location of file to clipboard, and (usually) add link to photo with correct [tag] depending on how big the pic is.

Tap in a blank space in a new post, then the [ img ] button, and you’ll get camera and photo library options.



Photo library can be kind of hit and miss if you use iCloud photos, but if you go to the Photos app and hit the share button, there’s a “copy image” option built into iOS. If you have a picture copied on the clipboard, the Awful image options will also have “paste” along with camera and photo library.

Hi! So... apparently China made all bitcoin-related transactions illegal.

And that, my friends, is good for bitcoin.

Have I got news for you!

Bitcoin (BTC-USD) may actually benefit from China’s recent decision to ban all cryptocurrency transactions, according to Ross Gerber, Gerber Kawasaki Wealth & Investment Management CEO.

“This is great news for bitcoin,” Gerber said. “The last thing we want is China [to be] involved in a currency of the world.”

Awful app uploads them to Imgur for you, it’s not a direct iCloud link, sorry if I made it sound that way. Where it can get weird is if you have a photo offloaded to the cloud for optimized storage, sometimes Awful kicks back weird upload errors, but Copy Photo seems to fix it pretty consistently.

Bloomberg: Chinese Regulators Are Serious About Crypto Ban This Time

quote:

In statements that were the most extreme and unequivocal so far, authorities on Sept. 24 said crypto transactions in China are banned and they will root out mining of digital assets. Almost immediately, the popular offshore exchange Huobi stopped allowing new users to register with a mainland China phone number and in a statement Sunday said it would "gradually retire existing mainland China user accounts" by Dec. 31.

"While this is not a surprise as China has 'banned' crypto many times in the past, this time there is no ambiguity," said Henri Arslanian, PwC crypto leader and partner, on Twitter. "Crypto transactions and crypto services of all kind are banned in China. No room for discussion. No gray area."

The People's Bank of China issued its Friday missive along with nine other institutions, including the supreme court, the police and the internet and securities watchdogs, a signal that enforcement may come from all corners. It also closed the longstanding loophole that enabled citizens to maintain accounts with offshore exchanges such as Huobi, and forbid the platforms to hire locally for roles like marketing, tech and payment, limiting their ability to serve Chinese customers.

Regulators also specified that the stablecoin Tether, along with Bitcoin, Ether and other cryptocurrencies, is not fiat currency. It's a new recognition of the role that stablecoins play in crypto-to-crypto trading, and a sign that regulators are newly interested in that activity, even though it may not affect the yuan directly.

Who knows whether this one'll stick, but at least its fun to watch the cage get rattled.

you're talking about the marble musical instrument channel right? i haven't really seen anything about elon but i kinda stopped following him because the entirety of his content rests on him continuing to "refine" the marble playing instrument. it will never be done because there's always something that can be "improved" and if there isn't then that's a problem because that means no more content for the channel.

don't get me wrong. the thing is amazing and i think i watched a bunch during covid last year but... like there's no end to it. there's always a more efficient way to move marbles around or to catch them or to hit them properly against an instrument.
