I just wanted to do a survey kind of thing to check how many of us are mining / taking part in the pi community.

As the title suggests, 

Are you mining pi coins on your mobiles. If yes, then how much approx do you have right now ?

let me state mine here,

slightly over 2000 coins.

Hi,

   This is mainly for all of you who may have some mined pi coins in your accounts and have gone inactive now for some reason.

 They have started a drive to do full KYC for free for some contributors / miners to help boot the activities through them [ may be others who join later or dont get the free offer or ignore the free offer will have to bear some cost of sending the documents or some kind of processing fees or charge. I have no idea. sorry ]
   and also offering an option to change your name so that matches your identification documents.

You wont be able to claim the coins if the name you used in your profile their do not match with your KYC documents. This is to prevent fraud.

So all inactive pi miners with some mined pi coins in your accounts,  please login and check your status.

Thank you
rudra

I know there are 2 Windows 10 related topics already out there but  I want to keep this separate because those 2 are about technicals about the Windows 10 Operating system. This thread is to focus on everything we run on it. Since Windows 10 OS we can run apps too, so I guess it makes a difference from Windows 7 or other previous versions.  I want to talk about which apps, programs, Utility recommendations plus what's good - what's bad, etc.

Anyway, my first question is about virus guards since that's something we need to get sorted out anything else in a fresh installation. Now, has built-in real-time antivirus named Windows Defender. Is this one is good enough? or do we need another third-party virus guard? I guess this is the successor of Microsoft Security Essentials which we had in Windows 7 but I was not impressed with that one. I hope Windows Defender is better. Since this comes as a built-in thing I guess it's gonna be a bit of a pain remove it or disable. Right now I'm using Avast on my Windows 7 PC and it's pretty good since I haven't found anything bad yet. It's good at the web protection department too.

And Windows 10 firewalls seem to be good enough for an average PC.

Hello All,

I was just notified today that my cPanel host is closing their doors Dec 7 so I am in the process of moving my main domain over to my VPS. I am currently running into an issue where tbelldesign.co is redirecting to dev.tbelldesign.co and I am not sure how to remedy the problem. I have cruised around the internet for a bit and I am not fining any viable solutions, so I am wondering if anyone else has seen this issue and know how to fix it. Thanks!

Hello there, Hope everyone is doing fine in this ongoing pandemic.
I'm asking you guys two questions

1. How was your first experience with your first VPS! 
2. How was your experience with your first Free VPS (obtained from somewhere)

i'll write mine a bit :
My first VPS was actually  my Free VPS It was i guess 2012-2013, At that time Swift Panel was so famous like everyone use to host it. I was so dumb i thought hosting it would get me a Game Server, So hosted, I got my first VPS from Haphost having 128MB RAM and 128 Swap Memory and 10GB Disk with 100 or maybe mbit port. I literally spent like 9 hours on PC straight didn't slept out of excitement that i actually got a VPS and then i installed centos 5 i guess. Logged into the VPS and literally was just literally looking at the screen now what i do. Watched a youtube tutorial how to install Swift Panel and i literally copied each and every word and they did not provided any type of notepad with commands in the youtube so literally i wrote those links so many times i ilterally remembered epel repo link with every "-" "/". that made me learn different aspects of linux like hosting stuff websites and many different things.

List of Free VPS i have used in past :

1. HapHost (Had a really great experience got alot to learn for start)
2. FreeVPS.US (Contributes a really great part in my learning stage, Learned many things from people there and admins and mods!)
3. Post4VPS (Current! A really nice , decent and friendly forum. Gonna stick here for a good time)

Stay Safe Everyone!

This might be a controversial suggestion as the 20-posts policy is strictly implemented here.

I was thinking if it is possible to give someone dispensation automatically if someone forget to make 5 or lower posts when the month end (so they have done 15 or more posts posted). The uncompleted number will be brought to next month so they will need to make more than 20 posts e.g. 22 posts if he/she forgot to do 2 posts at previous month.

Take an example: https://post4vps.com/Thread-VPS-Holder-M...or-October. OldMeister forgot to do 4 of his posts for October and his VPS will be taken down if he did forgot (but somehow he still hold VPS holders role, applied again?). From my point of view, it's like  a waste of 16 posts created and time spent for October.

I think this suggestion may only be applied to a holder which already done 15 posts (or 17?) or more but didn't finish at 20 posts. Remainder post(s) should be made maximum next month where holder didn't finish, and if they don't finish at 20 posts + their remainder, VPS will be taken down.

What do you think?

I'm preparing for doing an upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10.  I've got a Dell Optiplex 9020 i7 computer.  When I did research on driver updates, Dell has a package of drivers for Optiplex 9020 for Windows 10 in a .cab folder.  

I'm wondering.  Do I wait until after the upgrade and then go through each device to update the drivers, or does Microsoft have a library of drivers of better known brand computers as part of the upgrade?

Or do I download the drivers to a folder that Microsoft can select from during the upgrade process?

I'd like to know whether I could download this cab folder, unzip it and then file it in a folder where Microsoft would find it during the upgrade process - would Microsoft be looking for drivers for Windows 10?  Or is that wasted energy and I should wait until after the upgrade?

During my research I noted that the drivers are usually found in the Windows/System32 Driver folders.  Any specific folder where one should download the driver update package as there is a pick between Drivers or DriverStore Folders.

Why this is important to me before the upgrade, is that I did a simulation exercise of upgrading my old Lenovo Thinkpad X201 from Windows 7 Professional to Windows 10 Professional.  All went well, except I noticed (could also be my imagination) a slight deterioration in the quality of the display - it's a little fuzzy - not a lot, but enough to get my attention.  So first thing I did was to go to the Device Manager and update the driver but Windows then said that it has installed the best driver that is available. Problem is when I then checked the details of the driver it says Version 1.3.1.0.   I then did lots of research and downloaded the Intel Driver & Support Assistant and then found both Windows 7 and Windows 10 drivers for Version: 8.15.10.2900 Intel HD Graphics the last update dated 2012.  I then managed to download a .cab folder and unzipped it, but when I then tried to update the driver again, Windows 10 insists it has the most up to date driver loaded.

Do I need to load the unzipped folder to a specific directory?  What should I do for Windows to really update the driver?

I'm trying to figure out what Windows key Microsoft will register if I should do an upgrade to Windows 10.  My current Windows 7 is Windows 7 Professional.  However it is an OEM upgrade on the same computer.  There was a copy of a 32-bit Windows 7 Home on it before.  

What happened was when I purchased the computer and asked for Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, the retail store unbeknownst to me loaded Windows 7 Home 32-bit instead. I never thought to check this. It was completely daft.  Like how would one load a 32-bit system on a computer with 8GB RAM - also Dell Optiplex 9020 is a business computer - why load Windows 7 Home on it? Problem was that I didn't use the computer for approx 10 months after I purchased it, as I was still very much attached to Windows XP and my previous computer of the time.  So by the time I started using it there was little I could do to sort the retail store out.  It was a discount back street little shop as well.   Outcome of this was I was only able to use 4GB RAM out of the 8GB available RAM and it seriously bugged me that I was conned.

Any way, I lived with this for two years until end of 2016 when I did a major upgrade of my computer RAM from 8GB to 16GB RAM.  I also purchased an OEM Windows 7 Professional 64-bit Disk and License and had that installed and successfully activated on my computer.  It obviously had a different Microsoft Key than what was originally installed.  When I check my current computer system for the MS Key it shows the latest one for Windows 7 Professional.

So I'm trying to figure out if I should go for an upgrade to Windows 10.  Will I end up with Windows 10 Professional or Windows 10 Home?  What key is attached to my mother board or would Microsoft be able to see with its upgrade process?  Maybe I should do a clean install instead of an upgrade and then enter my last activated Windows 7 Professional Key? Instead of a simple upgrade?
