    The rumor is the backer is using the reserves to trade crypto. You won't ever see an attack on Teather during a crypto bull run as the reserves will be strong. In the depths of a c…

    What did you expect the response to be. Should they have said, "No we don't have that, you should probably just use AWS"? They didn't have exactly what you wanted so provided a wor…

    Try open hand warmers designed to warm the blood on the top of your hand as it flows into your fingers. In my experience, these work great at keeping my hands warm while not reduci…

    BCC meaning Bitcoin Cash? It is commonly called BCH now. They are still around, with a few miners. They had a few forks which split and degraded their community significantly. It i…
