​Litecoin Stuck In Hive Wallet? How Here's How To Get It Back

Do you have Litecoin (LTC) stuck in a Hive wallet you can no longer access? You can get it back and this article shows you how.

When the Hive wallet went offline they didn't tell everyone about it. That meant a lot of people, especially casual Litecoin users, might have been surprised when they went to the Hive site and saw that it was shut down. And it would be easy to assume that they had lost those Litecoins.

The good news is that their LTC can be recovered. A lot of different approaches have been discussed on the internet and all are good, but a little intimidating to a lot of Hive users.

This article makes recovering Litecoin from Hive (or any other wallet) and transferring it to another wallet very easy.

It still requires that you have the twelve word passphrase but you would have needed that to get into Hive anyway. Assuming that you have it just follow the step-by-step instructions – illustrated with screenshots – to get your LTC back.

How to disable services you don't need and get rid of alerts like "gamed wants to connect to static.gc.apple" in Mac OS X Yosemite & El Capitan.

If you use Little Snitch and are annoyed by constant alerts like this...

.... as the system tried to connect to Apple Game Center there are a couple of things you can do:

1. Add rules to Little Snitch – you can tell Little Snitch to allow or deny this process forever.
2. You can disable the gamed process so that it won't try and connect.

If you have no interest in Game Center, particularly if you are running OS X server, it may be more efficient to disable the gamed process, as well as others you may not be using.

A look at the different approaches to showing/hiding hidden files on Mac OS X Mavericks, Yosemite & El Capitan and some thoughts on what might be the best.

If you are a serious Mac user or (more likely) admin Mac servers you may need to be able to switch back and forth between showing and hiding files that would normally be hidden by default. The .htaccess file on web servers is a greta example of a hidden file you might need to see and then hide again.

There are a few approaches. Probably the most common is to just use native commands in Terminal, but this is time consuming. Another is to use Automator to create a script that toggles back and forth. Another approach involves setting up some very streamlined commands that can be called from Terminal.

This post takes a deeper look at the different ways to show/hide hidden files on Max OS X.

Despite what some web developers insist responsive design remains far more important than "features" nobody asked for.

This infographic shows that online shoppers continue to place a high priority on responsive design (websites that look good on mobile devices like phones and tablets). Responsive design can make or break an e-commerce website – if a site doesn't work well on a mobile device online consumers will abandon it and go elsewhere.

But too many developers continue to insist this is not the case, instead trying to promote features that online consumers did not ask for and don't care about. The priorities in e-commerce website design are not what the site developer insists, but what the research shows about your online customers.

There is a tradition in advertising of admitting a negative to establish credibility before making a claim. Could the retail floral industry learn from that?

The example below is commonly referenced:

Most people would agree that this stuff tastes bad. And taste is subjective. You can't tell someone they are wrong about how something tastes.

So Buckley's doesn't even try. They could, they could argue that given the nature of the essential medicinal ingredients vital to the mixture it tastes as good as could possibly be expected (so don't complain!) but they know that would be a waste of time.

Instead they own it. They admit to what the consumer already believes to be true – that the stuff tastes horrible. And in doing so they establish authority.

Which they then use to make their most compelling pitch, that the product is effective, that much more credible.

What if anything can the floral industry learn from this?

Too often in the flower business we want to argue subjective opinions. There are some consumers that feel flowers "don't last". This is of course true, flowers don't last forever and there is no point arguing that ever.

Whether they last long enough is a different matter. That is an opinion, and opinions vary. Inside the business we marvel at the advances that have been made and how long flowers do last. None of that matters to the customer who feels it isn't long enough.

Would it better to just own, and use to our advantage, opinions that we can't hope to change? This post looks how florists might benefit from admitting to a negative to establish credibility.

A browser alert reading "http://www.alerts-safari.info" and telling you to call 1-800-870-3001 is a browser hijacking. Don't worry and don't call.

All that is really happening is that you are on a web page that is designed to trick you into calling a phone support number, where support "technicians" will charge you an exorbitant fee to fix your computer. Any by "fix" they really just mean installing more malware and ransomware, further compromising the machine.

You probably got there by clicking a bad link, or misspelling a URL. You'll see a page that looks like this:

That will, almost immediately, be obscured by a dialog window that pops up and looks like this:

It sounds scary, and it will seem like your machine is locked, but it isn't. And there is a very simple fix for this issue:

Great look at the true costs of a "free" floral website. Florists that do any online volume will save money with a paid website.

Lately new vendors have been offering florists "free" ecommerce websites for their flower stores. The problem of course is that they're not really free. True, the florist doesn't have to pay any fixed cost, but they do pay a much higher variable cost – 30% of every order that goes through the website goes to the website vendor.

It might not see like much but it gets very expensive very quickly. Even a florist that sells just one $40 order through their website each week will be paying more with one of these free websites.

"Free" is a powerful promise to make, but it is almost always misleading and this is no exception.

Delfs Engineering expertly integrates Google Maps with FileMaker, with full access to features like delivery route optimization.

It's not terribly difficult to integrate Google Maps into a FileMaker solution using the WebViewer, and many FileMaker developers have certainly done just that. But there is a lot more that can be done, and a lot that can be improved. Delfs Engineering  has solutions for Google Maps/FileMaker integrations.

One issue is the number of calls to Google Maps. Google intends for people to manipulate data on a map inside a browser window. If instead you are using a native FileMaker web viewer window you are actually reloading the map with every change you push from FileMaker. This means impaired performance, and also racking up more page loads with Google (and that can get costly). Delfs Engineering has a novel approach that allows FileMaker to interact with a Google Map without reloading it.

The other issue is getting data the other way – from Google Maps back into FileMaker. For example – a FileMaker solution that involves delivery route optimization. It sends destination data into Google Maps, which then optimizes the route, displays directions, times, etc,

Getting this information back into FileMaker is very desirable (you could recorded the records based on the route optimization) but also very difficult.

Again Delfs has a solution that works, and can be added to your database through their FileMaker development/consulting service.

If you had any doubt that people love getting flowers take a look at this – the highest paid supermodel in the world (for nine years running no less) leaving an event with the centerpiece.

Not really fair to accuse her of stealing though... it's common to let guests take flowers home with them and, as the picture illustrates, even the wealthiest and most successful people are thrilled with the prospect.

Incrementally clean, build, and watch with little to no configuration - based on the simple premise of having one source and one destination directory.

Daniel Gagan of Forest Mist Software has created a great, easy-to-use build tool for web files. It is available at the ForestMist repository on GitHub.

It comes preconfigured with practical default settings to get you up and running ASAP. Many users will never have to touch a thing, others will choose to create a Feri config file with their preferred settings. Other, more hardcore developers, will quickly learn to harness the unrestricted power of Feri's API.
