What the heck is this thing?
... when people talk about storing their coins on this device, they’re not. All this device essentially does is encrypt the private key associated with whatever address your using. Your tokens are not sat on this device. Your tokens are still on the blockchain but your private key is never exposed. It's locked away in this device so you never have to type it in which leaves you open to keyloggers logging your private key. And the physical pressing of buttons adds that extra layer of security - You can’t remotely hack a ledger.
Now I’ve moved my tokens onto addresses on this it’s given me extra peace of mind. You could be holding tokens worth millions one day. Just buy this and protect your investments.
It allows you to action anything and everything at the push of a button, so I have all my servants and every other action I use regularly in BA like greening, reverse greening, profile switching, trading screens, staking methods etc assigned to there own buttonJasBarrow wrote: ↑Fri Nov 23, 2018 5:36 pmDallas wrote: ↑Fri Nov 23, 2018 11:55 amCouldn't manage without mine anymoreEuler wrote: ↑Fri Nov 23, 2018 11:24 amThe stream deck I use is on a 'deal' though I can't remember what I paid for it - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Elgato-Stream- ...

What way can it be used to make trading more streamlined?
I literally have everything I use on a regular basis at the touch a button, it feels strange when I'm on my laptop or other PC and have to actually move the cursor about to open/launch things

Last few hours of Black Friday now, any chance there's going to be some mad 90% off trading courses? Would love to come down and learn as much as I can. Would be even more tempted if I felt like I was getting a bargain. Hint, hint, nudge, nudge, inbox me super good discount coupon pretty please.

So through all my searching today, the best deal looks to be something that isn't even part of Black Friday, don't give a rat's arse about it being new. These specs look good to your fellas? There's a handful in stock if anyone else is considering an upgrade today too...

callum - nice price. have to fess up tho, altho i have a desktop (from 2015), i actually no longer see the virtue in static computing (be that immobile objects or storage). my current setup is basically a i5 laptop which connects to a variety of VM's (BA versioned one among them).CallumPerry wrote: ↑Fri Nov 23, 2018 6:22 pmSo through all my searching today, the best deal looks to be something that isn't even part of Black Friday, don't give a rat's arse about it being new.

in short, i wouldn't buy a desktop anymore, UNLESS, my work/life crossover somehow needed it. as things stand, everything i do workwise nowadays is on a VM and anything i need to test locally can be more than handled by a mid range laptop... (and generally is moot due to aforementioned VM's).
also, i travel a bit (work and real life), so having a laptop that can connect to xyz service is for me the expected nirvanna..

pretty cool so I guess you could assign keyboard shortcuts to different buttons also rather than fidgeting about with a gaming mouse?Dallas wrote: ↑Fri Nov 23, 2018 6:02 pmIt allows you to action anything and everything at the push of a button, so I have all my servants and every other action I use regularly in BA like greening, reverse greening, profile switching, trading screens, staking methods etc assigned to there own button

I used a 9 button Gaming mouse for years but within a few weeks getting the streamdeck ended up doing away with it and solely using the steam deck
The video Jukebox has just linked to shows it being used by Peter (around 6min 35 secs)
looks like i'll have to get one then!
last question on this can it be used to action other things on your pc like when youre not using BA can it be used for openingfiles and launching chrome etc...?
Yes almost anything can be assigned to a button which is why I miss it so much when I'm on my laptop,JasBarrow wrote: ↑Sat Nov 24, 2018 3:00 pm

If you look at the 2nd image I posted yesterday I have set mine up so the icon at the top left opens google for me, while at the bottom left next to the BA icon the 'windows tiles' icon opens a new layout where I have all the following windows based apps I use most configured

So with it being Prime Day I thought I would look to see what deals are on and I see the Stream Deck 15 button option is reduced from around £140 to £99, not as good as the £90 it was a while back as documented on this thread but still a good 40% off what it normally sells at.Dallas wrote: ↑Sat Nov 24, 2018 3:15 pmYes almost anything can be assigned to a button which is why I miss it so much when I'm on my laptop,

Now I am tempted to get one but don't think I would use it for my trading as I use my gaming pad for that and can't see this replacing it for that purpose as my hand sits permanently on the gaming pad which I have all the functions I need hot key'ed in and I know the buttons without having to think or look.
So, I was interested more in it from a general computing use and would be interested in Dallas etc giving their views on it from this view point now they have had it for some time.
I use a series of about 4 excel files constantly so it would be handy to have them assigned to keys on it (I assume it could do this), also could it be used to activate Excel split screen vertical on one button and horizontal on another as these are two things I use a lot in Excel?
But other than that I am not really sure what else it would come in useful for?
I would be really keen to hear what people who have had it for a while now think of it, in particular if you have a gaming pad as well and how you have found you use the two?
Thanks
