SV have news today, released a roadmap with a promise of up to 6.5 million transactions per second
But why? I'm not even going to consider whether or not they can accomplish that, but why would anyone ever need 100+ times more transactions than Visa processes?

To prove scalability ? Which was a problem for Bitcoin in 2017 (together with rising transaction fees).
This could lead to on-chain scalability solution (128mb) versus off-chain scalability solution (Lightning Network) debate.

This debate already took place around the BCH split / the forming of the movement known as "bigblockers"...
Scalability is not one-dimensional here. Block times, sizes, TX rates and payment channel capabilities are at least the most important factors.
Judged by the view on blockchains or models of forked off bitcoin siblings by their creators, it should be clear that they don't understand much about the underlying technology. Everyone just pushes single aspect of their blockchain features. You can clearly tell a strong ego from that. If the biggerblocker fails, bigblocker is likely bound to fail too. I's consider this as healthy for the crypto business.

I am against migration, as I previously mentioned, and I told you the logical reasons for that. Not because I hate people of different colors. And I was born in Utah, SLC.... So where you going with this? Call me a mormon. I'm not though. Grin

Whoops sorry, I meant in regard to the migration politics of refugees in Europe. Its basically a political virtue signaling shitfest that doesn't really help anyone but a precious lucky few... And if anything, it makes things worse for the country they came from. I also have issues with the H-1B Visa for example. Its a Braindrain and countries that are already in poverty need their geniuses, engineers, doctors and scientists... Certain migration politics make no sense.>>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPjzfGChGlE


Sry, mate.
I'm actually from a (german) neighbour country, and yes, imho politics are still failing in this regard.
It's also the history that kept german from taking appropiate measures. They can't afford to not welcome any refugees. This inherited guilt from the 1940's is still strong.

There are some recent hypothesizing that if he does not get thrown in jail in the coming years, he will likely, inevitably, end up coming back to bitcoin.. but I have some difficult times seeing that anytime soon, and he may just go down with the ship and keep Bcash alive for 30 years, finding ways to profit off his ongoing scam and deception in this wild wild west of crypto, and really there are plenty of status quo that would not mind funding his ongoing deceptions in an effort to continue to attempt to undermine bitcoin.

Honestly, i'd rather know that he is behind bars instead of seeing his face at BTC again.
My first and ever BCH transaction took 22 minutes to confirm, btw.

The odds of Roger going behind bars at any time in the near future don't seem too high right now, and seems merely like wishful thinking, even though we have seen Roger engaging in some pretty manipulative, emotional and childish behaviors....

Does his conduct in this BTC/crypto wild wild west cross criminal legal lines that would put him in jail?  And what jurisdiction is going to do it?  To me, it seems too early to speculate on that kind of wishful thinking.

Yeah.
Just a dirty, hidden thought that slipped out in a weak moment and inspired my reply  Grin

Nothing more than the chlorine that is already in municipal water. Just get your household supply diverted through it. Backflow prevention device would be in order in this scenario.

Not sure if I want to know. It's a double sided sword.

I wouldn't reccomend it. It may lead to strong aversions to touch plungers outside of your home, even when you wish to use them, and returning disturbing mental images every time you see a toilet plunger. The friend at who's house it was happening threw the plunger away and every time he came for a visit, he locked the thing away in a safe place beforehand.

I don't like to discuss matters of faith very often, but I am praying for Elwar and Nadia being able to safely extricate themselves from this awful situation they have found themselves in.

My heart genuinely goes out to them.


I don't pray, because I don't have a god or other deity to pray to, but I will take a solitary evening stroll and ask who ever might be listening to keep them safe, but science says it will make no difference. On the other hand, it doesn't hurt either.

Of course there is a god. But it's just the sum of all existence. I don't think it would make sense to pray to this  Grin

Remember to take care of your assholes, brothers. Colon cancer is not something to fuck around with.

... now if only they could somehow make the colon prep liquid more palatable, that would be terrific. That stuff is absolutely the worst liquid I have ever put in my mouth, willingly.


So you can't put it into your colon the other way round?
Sorry, no offense, but i was thinking about people avoiding hangovers and vomiting by injecting alcohol into their asses instead of taking the long route through the stomach and small bowel.

Edit: Don't just fall in love with that example and try. You can severly poison yourself by taking up alcohol directly through the colon.

Well, I mean, you can always administer a warm water enema if you want to clean out your lower colon, but that's not good enough for a full colonoscopy.

Need to clean your entire tract from the stomach down to your asshole. You're essentially pissing out your asshole towards the end of the prep.

Good times.

Sorry, i was under the assumption that you are taking it as a medicine.
I've had a coloscopy twice and they gave me a good serving of mannitol (sugar) mixed into half a litre of water. No pain with taste at all.
A mere hour later i was totally empty.

EDIT: I think i can remember that it was 80 grams of mannitol and 1 litre of water.

On a semi serious note..just talking about things can be helpful for some. Hope you feel better soon.

I already do feel like a bit of a load is off, and seeing Bob and LFC open up first helped. I just need a more positive outlook I think.
You can actually "reprogram" yourself in away you want. It takes forever and it sounds cliche and feels retarded, but it works.

Brain constantly creates random thoughts based on your past, it's up to you to choose which you focus on or if you want to add others. What you focus on becomes a feedback loop that eventually turns "real".

I think the basic mechanism is the brain not wanting to do anything new actively, since that's expensive. To combat that it'll try to tell you that you "can't do it", "it's stupid", "pointless", "cringe", whatever it can throw at you so it can just keep the same old program on repeat.

Possibly also why people sometimes have to hit rock bottom only to then miraculously change.

Or why people believe that hyperwaves apply to everything because they already worked in the past.


Also, I'm not sure if depression is actually bad. It might be a mechanism that is supposed to get us to stop doing what isn't working and seek out new solutions.


Just random SOMA that may or may not be accurate. If I had to bet on it I would say it is to some degree, but I'm no neuroperson so I don't really know either way.


Anyway, best wishes.

seconding that.
two decades ago i was suffering from depression and anxiety, took 3 years of medication to stabilize, figure out the hidden "mechanics" of my ego (brain), about a decade for introspection and meditation, still another couple of years to slowly transform myself into who i wanted to be. The latter was, behind the scenes, what i was afraid of, all my life. I was effectively raised to swallow, follow and sacrifice my needs and ideals for the well being of others.

Dune reference spotted.



That movie had an interesting premise, and a great video game series developed around it, but much like the book, was a little bit too long for me to make it all the way through it. I do remember that Sting was in it.

The whole story was spanning six books, plus the encyclopedia.
However, the thickest one was the first, original "dune" novel.
I read through them all, but "dune" was the one i could barely stop reading, i also watched the movie beforehand.

Of course, I know that fiat is not crypto....

I was trying to ask you a question about whether you have any fiat that might be set aside that is dedicated to buying bitcoin in cases that bitcoin might drop or some other scenarios.

I let you know what are my current holdings, which actually is a bit higher than I had expected towards a kind of BTC bias, so I am o.k. with selling some BTC as the price rises, and maybe cause my BTC to fiat holdings to become a bit more balanced.. maybe 94% BTC to 5% fiat to 1% shitcoins would feel a little better for me.. I am not sure.  I think my BTC to fiat ratio has been a bit high ever since we broke below $6k, and perhaps some of my cashflow got mixed up or something, but I have kind of been aware of it, but a bit unwilling to rebalance it on my end, for some strange reason.

Yes, but my original post was a virtual comparison addiction vs. happiness to shitcoin vs. bitcoin  Grin

My holdings are about 90,8,2 (BTC,Fiat,Shitcoins), since i converted most shitcoins i held (a bit more than 15%) and most of my reserved Fiat around the higher low of 2019, ($6k) after the dip ($4k) and on the way up until yesterday. The rest and future saved Fiat is destined for buying after a possible, larger drop ($8k and below).  


EDIT:
I also edited the post before this one a bit (forgot to mark it).
The thing is, if i'm ever needing additional Fiat for emergencies or such, i can always sell some Satoshis. That's why i keep a low reserve.


EDIT 2:
"Self-aggrandizing"... Had to look that up first. Now, i worked the shit out of my past life and surely got some luck too, but i just wanted to emphasize that i don't invest almost everything for the hope of getting rich and therefore happy, as most shitcoiners do, as far as i get this via twitter. I feel no needs to look down on other humans, apart from obvious assholes, of course. no offense Smiley

O.k.  Fair enough...  Maybe I just got lost trying to follow the various ideas...... so more or less makes sense, and overall I kind of like the idea of 90/8/2... but I also would not want to sell 5-6% of my BTC to get to such a point... so maybe I am just happy with where I am at.. especially since it seems like we are kind of on the precipice of up.. at least at the moment... even though we know that BTC can sometimes also suddenly surprise us with a 30% to 50% correction for no apparent reason.. even though we just had nearly a 30% quickie correction about a week ago to $9,614...and we have bounced back.. .would be a bit strange to have another one... but who knows with bitcoin?

The Black Swan is always around the corner.

I don't really plan my life around any possible black swan, but sure, black swans can come in a whole variety of circumstances, and so I guess there is some prudence to plan for a kind of set of unknown unknowns.

On the other hand, I do kind of pick on our resident PM troll in this thread, because he seems to be putting some kind of high end stakes into PMs, perhaps 20% or something like that, for a kind of Armageddon event that likely has less than a 1% chance of occurring, so I do not understand why to invest more than 1% or so (with some margin for error) into an event that has less than a 1% of happening.. and in other non Armageddon situations, bitcoin is going to serve as a decent hedge against the dollar that is better than gold, so I really don't get why he hangs out here pumping PMs as if they were the solution.

Sorry for the idling, had to leave for some hours. Gotta scroll back some pages...

I don't plan for Black Swan -like events but i try to stay flexible in life, so i can act mindful IF such an event occurs. What such an event may be... That's the thing with Black Swans, you can't predict them in any way.
I have gone through homelessness, polytoxic addictions, depression, anxiety, panic and horrors barely anyone would believe. Finally i learned to change my mind instead of sticking to my beliefs. We, humans, are strongly driven by our beliefs. That's also why i started to collect Bitcoins, for example. But i stopped trying to change other peoples mind, that's everybodys own job, and most of us are avoiding this at all cost. On the other hand, these are mostly the ones that try to change anyone else's mind. So that's how you can identify (and feel sorry for) them. No reason for hate, honestly  Grin

Sure everyone has experiences and points of view, and some people try to impose their beliefs on others in a strong way.  Sometimes it can be a bit irresistible, and even though i believe that there are certain kinds of latitude in correctness, there are also some things that are more correct than other things and there are best practices.   

For example, I was having a discussion with an in-law about diet a few days ago, and he said that he had approached his diet with objectivity and no prejudgement, and even though he had recently been studying some literature and talking points, he began to ask me to defend my diet in terms of his frame of reference, which I refused to do, even though we still attempted to have some battle discussion that kind of dwindled away after a bit of time of non-resolution.  I only see this inlaw once in a while, so I am not sure if we are going to continue the conversation at a future date, but surely I think that he is wrong about a lot of things, even though he was much more prepared to debate the topic than me, because I had not been reading on the topic for several years, and he seemed to have been reading on the topic in recent times. .. which in my mind did not mean that he was right, even if he had kind of won the debate due to a kind of better preparations.

From my experience and point of view, i'd say that this "topic" (diet) is quite driving his mind at the time, because he was into it recently. Trying to win a related discussion might just be a try to self-confirm his new knowledge, to defend his model of the "correct diet". You don't want to prove yourself a fool after wrapping your head around tons of book pages  Grin
On the other hand, maybe he's trying to help, but sometimes that makes people act really unhelpful.
I really like the "brainstorming" way of discussion, where you accept everything your partner brings up as true, think constructively about, and just add your point to it, which he has to accept and react to in the same way. It's uncommon, apart from some IT-thinktank departments, where it's a daily business.

Brainstorming is a decent way of interacting to allow for a wide range of reasonableness and to allow adults to come to their own conclusions.  Whether we are talking about crypto, diet or otherwise, there might be some areas of agreement and some allowance for variation of thought and variation of approaches.  When you are looking someone face to face, you should try to be polite, especially when they seem to be striving to come to a good conclusion based on facts, logic and reasonableness.  Still, some ideas, logic and conclusions are more reasonable than others.. so when you really go deep, you will have to tend to come out of brainstorming, stream of consciousness and relativism after a while because otherwise you would become rudderless.  Bring it back to crypto.  Sure, buy some various other cryptos, but much better to invest in bitcoin first and to establish yourself.. maybe dabble a bit with a small percent of your holdings, but currently, bitcoin has the most factual and logical backing.. so why get distracted by accepting a bunch of bullshit imitations or project that are doing something else that might have some merit in themselves but are weak in terms of the sound money component that somewhat relies on networking effects built around it, too.  But, yeah, in my lame attempt to stay somewhat on topic, I seem to be preaching to the choir, here.

I second that. All of it, i have always done it that way, because hope can't beat logic.
altcoin purists seem to think the other way round.

Guys, why are you still speaking to the troll? He has a photo on page 2 of his posting history of himself wearing a fucking gas mask with a T Shirt that looks about 15 years old, the elastic has gone on the neckline. He’s also got some weird sandwich wrapping on his finger because he probably can’t afford a band aid.

I can 100% assure you that this weapon probably can’t even complete a successful bowel movement sitting on a toilet let alone move a multi billion dollar asset market cap.

Please put him on ignore or at least stop quoting him because I don’t want to read his verbal diarrhoea in our sacred WO Club Thread.

Thanks.   

That's a "Tim Tailor" shirt, low quality "brand" manufactured in Germany for various budget clothing chains like C&A on the german Market (Austria, Germany).
Machine wash these shirts and after 10-15 times they look like a year old quality shirt.
The other thing is that revealing failure to get the grip on a/an. "an bastard", for exmaple.
Most probably a German, Austrian or Balkan dude, which the yugoslavian gas mask strongly suggests.
And the wording in itself reads pretty much like that of many of my austrian collegues when they write or speak in english.

I would never trust a guy, promoting "stealth advertising" that shows so many clues about himself in a single pic.

... silver plate...
He means silver platter, but it's common in german to say "silberteller" which gringo-translates into "silver plate".
He might be using google translate to some extent too, since it delivers the exact same slightly wrong translations when fed with the common german terms.

I prefer the blood of dead ungulates, browned in a roasting pan, deglazed with bone broth and thickened with roux.

Best served with the almost-raw cauterized flesh of said ungulates and accompanied with the yeast-infected juice of red grapes.

There's no need to slaughter thousands of helpless little ungerminated seeds when one adult ungulate will feed so many.

Oh look. Its a nice little bounce up after a dip.

Lactose i got no problems with. Only fructose and most sweeteners (sugar alcohols like xylit, sorbit, maltit and the likes).
Only glucose and lactose are trouble free for me, as well as aspartame and acesulfam, last not least d-ribose up to 2g/day.
20% wheat-free carb, 30% proteins, 50% fat. That is what i eat to stay strong and healthy.

What dumb fuck still uses SMS 2FA?

IDK, but even 3rd party open source authentication software like GA isn't 100% safe.
Recently i reactivated an old coinbase account and switched from SMS2FA to GA2FA, but in the long run, i'll switch to a hardware-key based solution.
Maybe my ledger nano can be of some use there, but i don't like to rely on a single device for all crypto-related key storage.

Guess what, the world is full of them Smiley

A special category is made of the ones that believe they own BTC, but all they have is an account in a web application.
Of the two categories, I don't even know who to feel sorry for  Cheesy


Up next: People that believe to own Bitcoin, but then it's only Libra and they are waiting for it to pump like the real McCoin Grin

Google authenticator BLOWS, that thing is a piece of shit and you don't have a recovery seed anymore.

I only use GA for 2FA, recovery keys (written down) for restore at the exchange if the (smartphone) device fails.
BTC are transferred to a cold wallet whenever it's more than 0.1 (or 0.01, 0.001 and so on in the future) and for selling small amounts (also future, only maybe)
But i'll sure move on to a better solution.

Yeah you can do backups for 10 times for the one issuer, I guess that's good for a device failing, it's a shitty setup though, I guess it's okay.

Probably better to use a freshly wiped or a fresh cheap phone with only Google Auth on it that stays in a safe place. That's what I'll do and have backups for security.
Good idea. I have a spare old smartphone, reset to factory default, that i can use without a sim card. Runs for more than a week in airplane mode, that should do it - without the need for daily recharge. ...but i have to disable/re-enable 2FA on my exchange accounts, that's a bit shitty, since GA won't let me migrate.

It doesn’t work like that.

GA doesn’t have its own seed.  

Each site gives you a site specific seed.  You write the seed down somewhere safe.


If you lose the device, you re-enter the seed for that specific site into your new device.

The attack vector is the sites’ individual processes for manually turning off GA for the inevitable dumbasses that lose their seed.  

As far as i have read and understood the docs on GA now, it uses its own "key" for authentication against the google account used on the phone.
That is what the set of backup keys is for. You have 2FA enabled on your G account and lose your phone. Transfer procedure is quite similar to 3rd party GA2FA, just disable and re-enable after swapping phones and restore of GA.
3rd party (secondary) accounts must be restored via their seed providers (exchange) security key or disabled/re-enabled as usual, where the mentioned attack vector comes into play.
No convient way to restore all at once, if i didn't miss anything. Workaround would be running Android as root and backup the whole GA app via 3rdparty software. Least attractive to me. So always have your security keys written down a multiple times, and store them securely.

I have been searching this forum for a while now so how come this is the biggest thread in the whole forum? you are constantly posting speculations on the Bitcoin price?

I guess it's because the active members on this thread are spotting market activity continuously, and post stuff about random interests and topics between relatively big changes, apart from a minor amount of trolling and manifests of (self-)entertainment?

I am sorry to be such a dumbass, but let's attempt to merely stick with the case of re-establishing a new device for google authenticator running.  That is merely getting google to recognize the new device that they are going to send the GA keys for the secondary sites.

So, if I still have the old device, that situation is easy because i can get the GA keys off of the old device when I am registering the new device.  Once I register the new device, then GA only sends GA codes to the new device.  It no longer sends codes to the old device.

Now if I lose my old device or it gets stolen or damaged or lost in a boating accident, or whatever causes me an inability to access my old device, then I thought that those 10 codes that google gives you at the time of creating your GA account were used for those kinds of situations in which you no longer have access to your old device.  If I am wrong, then I am confused about the whole situation, and it would be better to straighten this matter out before I lose or break my device that has my GA account assigned to it, no?

From my reading, makrospex, you seem to be saying a very similar thing that I had said in my response to hairybairy, above, but more eloquently.  

In other words, those 10 different seed words are used to reactivate google account (on 10 different occasions) in the event that you lose your device and you do not have access to your access codes that are spat out on your device every minute or so on GA.

Yeah, sort of, but the whole "app funcionality" can't be backed up conveniently.
Scenario: Lose your phone, get a new one, enter a backup key and get GA restored including all 3rd party keys, invalidate the old GA.
That's not possible in a similar convenient way. But that's the thing with security, right?
So i'm staying with disabling 2FA on the sites, using the ol backup phone and writing down site backup keys again when re-enabling 2FA.

I think about putting copies of my notes into a safe security box in a bank. That'd be the cream on top of the vanilla sorbet  Wink

I honestly think it's just a call back to the old school advertisements that this is referencing, not exactly some clarification.

My interpretation is that by "asking for bitcoin when you buy", you (as a BTC holder) are responsible for spreading the word. So when enough people are "asking for bitcoin when they buy" it's not for the purpose of spending bitcoins, but to generate interest in bitcoin in the sellers mind. ("what's that bitcoin everybody asks for lately? I'll google it, maybe it's of some use...")

Can Bitcoin be considered as an input to an algorithm (used by software).

Once you get the grip on computing, that it's just a representation, or "realisation" of mathematical/logical processes, you will see things more clear.

If you were to use the same criteria for classifying animals as humans, blacks and whites would already be a different species or subspecies because they do classify animals that can interbred as different species.  At the very least humans would probably be at least 3 DIFFERENT subspecies of North Eurasian, Southeast Asian, and African.  Or maybe even Africans as an entirely different species closer related to Homo Erectus and then Homo Sapiens with North Eurasian and Southeast Asian subspecies.

Some people would claim haplogroup M and N (all humans that aren't Africans) are a subspecies of L (Africans), but I would say there's a clear species divergence and M and N are not a subspecies but new species in their own right. Instead of admitting a new species has formed with vastly different traits where one can travel into space while the other is still building mud huts, they try to hand wave it away with SJW nonsense like "guns germs and steel".

I mean the term "sapiens", translated as "wise" (sapient).
This must be a joke and 99,99999% of people on this planet, regardless of genetic origin or "race", are prove enough that this name must be a joke.

EDIT2: intermediate = mid-term.

Any product that can move two tons of mass at 70mph for 200 miles is going to react poorly to being shot by a high power firearm. And mistakes happen all the time with regular cars, we have simply learned to accept and balance the risk.

As for autopilot, just like in a plane the pilot has final responsibility for the aircraft. The driver has final responsibility for the car. Power steering and power brakes make the job easier but if you can't stop the car without either you should not be driving. Same with autopilot.

That tesla driver's family should pay for the damage to the truck and the cost of mopping up the blood.

In fact it's a driving assist. Many people don't get this and rather see it like autocruise on the ncc 1701 - uss enterprise.

I’ve started to go for a long walk every night now to try & get fitter. When you hit your 30’s your metabolism goes out of the window & it’s tough to stay in shape. Think I’m gonna join a gym soon.

Man, you think 30s are tough on metabolism, wait until you hit 40. I simply eat too much these days, whereas 5 years ago it would have been just enough, and my job keeps me inside. Still not really a good excuse to avoid exercise. I should find a gym nearby and try to hit the weights again. Beginning to grow old man tits, like Craig Wright.
I am on my 37th. Last two (three) years I am not into much physical work (almost no physical work). Most of the time, I am in my desk, with family, day out once or twice in a week, visiting relatives are my regular life. I have to admit that I eat too much and get hungry very quick. I am too lazy that I do not do any sorts of physical exercise. Last few days I am having this thought that I really (seriously) need to look after my physic. I mean I look healthy and strong but I feel I do not have much stamina, get tired very quick. Body full of fat especially the bally area. It's getting bigger. I used to drink and smoke a lot but not into serious drinking from years and gave up smoking (almost zero in a week but sometimes one or two in a month) from last two years.

Every day I keep saying my wife that I will start exercise from tomorrow but this tomorrow never comes. I have to admit it's hard to find motivation to have a lean healthy body.

Start walking for about 45 minutes 2 or 3 days a week, you will not become an athlete, but will keep you fit.

Disagree. Energy and performance.... It's almost all in nutrition. Get used to eat low carb.
20% carbs, no sugars, no sweeteners, no softdrinks, avoid wheat meal.
30-50% fat, it delivers slow, sustained energy
50-30% proteins. Preferably milk, cheese, eggs, meat.

The more fibers (more vegetables, less fruit), the less obstipation. Once you start to lose weight and gain energy, start exercising and probably add muscle supplements in small doses. Watch your joints, do less running, more exercise without weights, only body weight (planking, push-ups 15-30mins over a day). This is just for compensating posture problems when you sit around most of the day. Walking and moving around (playing with the kids) should be enough to keep you fit. The body works best when delivered the right "fuel".

Just my three cents.

EDIT: I'm keeping myself to this "diet" 95% of the time. I eat 2-3 times a day and i don't feel hungry for 6+ hours after eating. I remember times at McDonalds and the likes, where i was hungry 2-3 hours after feeling fully saturated.

Thanks for your advice, I have no overweight problems (high 1.82m / 75kg.)
As of everything but little amount, the gym bores me, the only sport I practice is skiing, the rest of the year I will walk 2 or 3 times a week and it keeps me well.

Sounds good. I don't see much to change activity-wise. Metabolism gets slower over time, while ageing.
I'm 40+ with slight underweight, more the type of guy that can't really gain weight by food (some call me lucky in that regard).
However, i felt more energy to move/exercise and also more stamina southwards  Wink after reducing carbs and banning sugars, while body definition and overall posture improved (less bloating).
Gym IS boring, i need 3x3 minutes a day for my planking routine (each 1 min. elbow + either side) plus a set of 10 push-ups per minute, five to six repetitions. But this is mainly for maintaining core stability, as i'm still skateboarding once a week.

I have a gut you could set out a ten course meal on and have enough space left over to lay out your Scalextric track for a seductive post dessert race. I can't say I'm massively bothered but it does feel like a giant dick dangling off my midriff. Maybe it's time to starve in the wilderness for a bit.

I hope i got that all right, i'm not a native speaker...  Grin
Starving is a boomerang, you gain weight much quicker after resuming to eat. It's an alarming condition for the body.
It's a two sided sword. Everything your body can't use short-term gets stored or flushed. How fast this is happening mainly depends on your gut bacteria.
In an experiment, gut bacteria was interchanged in obese and slim rats, which made the slim rats gain, and the obese lose weight.
Still much to elaborate for science about digestion and metabolism.

Go all in on BSV if you want to lose lots of weight by starvation (by being broke). You can thank CW for your new beach body.

At least it's the one and only, real diet, CSW will surely prove that it works.

Details of the OLED Vulnerability and its Mitigation

Quote
This article describes an information leak discovered in the OLED display used by hardware wallets, including Trezor One. We want to explain how this side-channel attack works and what measurements we took to mitigate the threat. This attack affects only the Trezor One; Trezor Model T is immune to this attack thanks to its entirely different display.

https://blog.trezor.io/details-of-the-oled-vulnerability-and-its-mitigation-d331c4e2001a

Very smart!
Ledger too.
Quote
Like many hardware wallets, the Ledger Nano S and Ledger Nano X include an OLED screen to display sensitive information. In the case of Ledger’s products, the following information is displayed on the screen:
  • The confidential recovery phrase during the setup,
  • The PIN code entered to unlock the device.
As this information is confidential, we always recommend our users to operate their devices in a secure environment. In an unsafe place, someone could eavesdrop and gain access to critical information, and thus to your crypto assets.

Currently, I don't see bitcoin in any kind of "fall" status.  We have nearly 10 days of UP, from y point of view, and in the past few days, we are a bit stagnated towards the upper end of the UP.

Yep, it's still over my personal border of comfort (11k at the time, slowly rising).

I find your posts useful.  And mostly you do not quote the more egregious content.  

However it is harder to crack down on new posters for quoting roach’s particularly bad content when you freely quote the other stuff.  

Thank you for considering this request.

In my case as "new" user on WO, just as example, roach was ignored after about my fifth attempt to initiate a bilateral on-topic discussion.
Almost aways this ended in one-liners that led off topic and were just as absurd.
The amount that roach postings are quoted is fine for me, but reading through all his repetitive bullshit was too much for me to enjoy reading WO.

I blew it off on reading the following:

Upon submission of my thesis, my university felt that the contents were too advanced for marking and I resubmitted a paper instead about a simple web portal as a dissertation project!"

Just another 'megalomaniac' scammer.

"I'll bet by the 3rd post on the 3rd day by the end of his 'musings' this "Fake Satoshi" will announce his 'retirement' from this cruel world who doubts him and be 'forced' to keep

his anonymity again.

When doing a 'scam' always have an 'in' and always have the 'supposed' 'out' with your scam.

Next, the 'copy-cats' with another scam something like, we will have some supposed woman state,

within the pages of the National, Enquirer claiming 'tearfully': "I had Satoshi's love child and Elvis was at the wedding!"

"He left me for another and I'm now living in a Trailer Park, eating dog food!" "It's the truth!"

This kinda "I am Satoshi" garbage/scams are only going to get more nuts as time goes on.

Again, remember my 'out' above. He will have a way to fade back into being anonymous by the end of his 3rd rant and will blame the world. Bet on it"

sheesh

Brad

I'm curious. It already feels like this story will invoke the same feelings that the reccent "We are all Satoshi" campaign left me with.

That's an old myth. It takes four weeks for fresh brain cells, produced in the brain stem, to "travel" to the grey matter cortex of the brain, where they take over active functionality. Scientifically proved by english students about a decade ago, where they put a heavy alcoholic on a "diet" of 1 shot per day. After a month, an increase of intelligence and brain mass (60% !!!) was measured.

Also, two and four weeks are typical timespans to automate and integrate newly trained thinking, corrected habits and behaviour and also play a role in the psychological part of drug withdrawal processes.

Every once in awhile I like to look at old bitcoin purchases.....

In March 2014 I bought a Wii U for 1btc.

I'm looking at it now. See how stupid I was?

HODL

Recently sold a DSLR for £500, which was bought for ~£320,000.

Seemed like a good idea at the time.

Which one?
A gold plated Hasselblad?
I'd like to know, as a photographer.

Bitcoin Price Threatens $10K as 50% of CME Futures Almost Expire

According to a Tuesday post by the Skew Twitter account, the CME futures deadline will see almost 50% of open interest expire. According to past evidence, futures expiration sparks Bitcoin volatility. However, different events in Bitcoin’s history have behaved differently. Skew believes that the current investor appetites are more bearish.

Since futures are a relatively short timeframed instrument, they're probably used by most participients mainly for milking the markets?

This term is not typical in US, mostly in use in UK and probably Australia.

Almost all businesses accept digital payment via card or app, some companies/facilities even stopped to accept cash.
They will start a 2-year project to test an e-currency, named "E-krona", which may become the future standard in sweden.

The more the people understand what’s happening, the better is for bitcoin.


Yes, i see BTC as the digital gold. Maybe all future e-currencies are valued against Bitcoin, why not?
Most people in my environment are dumb, they call BTC a hoax. My brother in law wanted to invest in Bitcoin when it was around $350, and his father talked him out of it, into some kind of fund-based asset (i don't know the english term for this). He called his father an idiot in 2017, of course, but the latter still thinks he was right. This is the second "nearly"-coiner i knew to date. The other one had Bitcoins, but only for Silkroad and the likes. He never held them longer than for some weeks.
When you even talk about Bitcoin here, you are suspect to criminal activity, money laundering or you are seen as a moron who wants to lose all his money. They think it's child play, regardless what the facts are, they always know better. This is normality where i live, i am the megageek. I'm skateboarding at age 40+, i'm living on passive income, so i got that "strange freak that does not go to work" image and most people are intimidated by my presence, excluding very few, close friends and family members.
My mother and my wife are the only persons that know that i got the corn. The average IQ in my neighborhood can't be much more than a weak 90 at max.
A guy like RealRoach would be a respected mayor candidate of the town i'm living in. Time went on, in other parts of my country, not so much where i made myself a home   Roll Eyes

You shouldn't believe everything you read.
The Riksbank has no plans to stop issuing cash, and just about every store accepts them.
It is how ever true that they are planning an experiment with a E-krona, but that is done in order to take back the issuing of digital money from the banks, and also provide citizens that dislike banks with a state owned alternative.
Citizens will be able to open free bank accounts provided by the Riksbank.
At least that whats being planned.

PS. Riksbank=Swedish central bank.

Thanks for the statement. Seems to me that journalism goes down a rather dark alley, lately.

FYI: I'm living "the dream" at a price. I'm pretty separated from the rest of the local population by interest, opinion and intellectual qualities. Still, i try to see people as equal, by the way. I was quite successful in the IT industry, even had a small number of employees, which where more like colleagues than working slaves for me, i worked my way up to there from zero, literally after quitting school at 17 and being thrown out of home by my mother because of it. By the age of 37 i got ill, by a four week lasting flu, followed by severe fatigue and brain fog. This was the end of my working life. We do have good social insurance here, but i had to fight for it, over the course of three trials at the court. The oldfashioned, retarded neurologists didn't know shit about Chronic Fatique Syndrome by then, and at the same time, the well known Burnout Syndrome was a fashionably, common diagnosis for IT workers, so they diagnosed me for that, but their therapy and medication just made it worse. Then i learned by myself how to cope with and threat CFS, and after some more years i am at a state of subjective 50% physical fitness, but still some part of my memory is not working right: the so called working memory. It's not easy to get around the day with that, but i tend to think positive, that's why you all had mostly read about the positive aspects of my private life, now you also know about my lifes "other side of the coin".
Writing and constantly editing a post of this length, so it makes some sense in the end, usually takes me around 20 minutes.

Living the dream?
Well, kind of, but not really.

If I ever get to get married one day, no way I am letting my kids to be slaves. Fuck that. If I am not going to get what I want, I'd rather die single and without kids.

Entering 8th year as a working man. I know how hard it is to make money by working legit. Fuck this shit.

Got angry Angry

Don't get angry, you're harming yourself through anger. You need your energy to build your dreams and make them true. Anger has its use, as we're emotional lifeforms, but if you can't let it go within some minutes, it starts to weaken you. Like depression, but of an opposite quality.

I got married and i accumulate bitcoin for my kids. I want them to work, but i don't want them to limit their life to working. Working in itself is good, but every working human deserves respect and should be honored by the ones that rely on their commitment. This is a major bug in most human societies. I worked more than a decade as employee, started as a roadie after kicking school, then for a year as a painters assistant, after that i was an assistant to the housekeeper of a broadcast company, later advanced to computer user support, to sysadmin, then i got on to sysadmin/programmer in a software company, before i became self employed in the IT, where i had to deal with my stupid customers retarded expectations. All the way to there, i was hacking web servers in my free time at night, as a member of a formerly well known hacking group (in the 90s), which opened a door in the security/sysadmin business.

Enough of information about me, at this point it starts to feel a bit uncomfortably, but it was also a relieving experience.
All information can and will be used against me...

I also planned to die single, by then, but shit happens, as they say Grin

No, it was a brasilian based group with members from the US and also Europe.
But it was quite in the same timeframe of TESOs activity. I never got to know other hax0rs outside the group personally.

Is that a red meat there? Just asking, not trying to be rude.

I think i can clear up the mystery why red meat is carcinogenic, opposed to white and light meat.
There is a main difference in preparation: red meat needs to be hung up to 14 days after slaughtering, while white meat does not.
Hanging the meat makes the muscle cells less dense by rotting in a controlled way BUT this also introduces oxidation of fat and protein as side effect, which is proven to be carcinogenic.

However, what i know for sure is that deficiency of folic acid actually slows down cell division and thus reduces tumor growth. There are some downsides to this, but it works well in slowing down tumor growth. On the other hand, this weakens mucous membranes, which you can compensate for with zinc (zinc-picolinate as the most efficient form).
I consider this well worth a try. Read the details up on pubmed.

EDIT: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/mnfr.200600191
Info on the findings. Short version: Folate deficiency enhances the risk of developing cancer, but once you have cancer, it slows down tumor growth.

Please keep hands off "magic" substances like MMS (miracle mineral supplement - natrium chlorite) and the likes, it's just some kind of poisoning that activates (and later exhausts) the immune system.

Probably not my most popular post.  Monday morning tinfoil truth seeking.

What is the probability that the US government’s big national secret is zero-point energy extraction?
If the military/government/TPTB have been engineering/reverse engineering energy and its applications in secrecy for 80+ years, would that undermine Bitcoin’s SOV and cryptographic security?  Surely the implications of such a technology are too vast to conceive.
I ask this question because energy is what BTC proposes to base sound money on. There's too many historical and theoretical examples of energy use on this planet to conclude that the current public/scientific understanding is complete.   I've not seen this argument debated however I understand its likely to be discarded to conspiracy for lack of proof even while the hard proof is literally in stone.  







Well, at least they seem to get political decision out of vacuum (inside trumps head)...

So you're saying 0.0 chance we have any better understanding of energy beyond E=MC2 ? Or more simply, popular public understanding.

I am saying that the existence of zero-point energy doesn't make it usable in the thermodynamic realm.
Otherwise, i believe in using gravity (and thus tide) as practically "free" energy sources.

Totalitarianism, yes - lurching that way - but it is appearing in the form of nationalism and as far as I can see it seems to be coming more from the right wing than the left in the West.
We know you are a leftie so your opinion carries no weight. But for general information, culture always moves from right to left over time. Nationalism is a right wing thing. It is on the decline, and has been for decades. Multiculturalism is the opposite of nationalism.

So, well, then i'm a leftie too Smiley
Look at the hippies, a growing minority to make a statement against what the majority stood for. Nothing was really achieved. Today it's not much different, but this time it's esoterics. So i guess we are going to the opposite what esoteric folks are wishing for, and totalitarianism quite sums it up, imho.

On the other hand, every radical movement or shift in societies was followed by a counter-reaction, in pretty much the opposite direction.

If there's one thing that homo sapiens sapiens (or pan narrans) is best at, it's fucking up.

So your prejudice about me wins the argument?  And who is this 'we' you speak for?

I am a capitalist and generally libertarian actually, but no matter. However, just because I am not as jackbooted as you does not make my opinion of no value. I was attacking your sloppy and farcical arguments, not you. You, I pity.

If you think nationalism is in decline you are plainly deluded.  America first?  Brexit?  AFD in Germany?  Ergogan in Turkey... Poland's Law and Justice party... Orban in Hungary....  Seriously?  The liberal consensus of the post-war West is in decline, not nationalism.  Everyone printing money, 'strong men' in politics with idealistic simplistic solutions often involving stretching the truth..?  Sounds more like a reversion to the politics of the 1930s to me.

New Cold Wallet Custody Solution Strives to Eliminate Cryptocurrency Hacks

Quote
On September 18, 2019, the firm announced completion of what it is calling the world’s first and only secured cold wallet with hot wallet functionalities, which eliminates the need for an internet connection in order to send transactions on a blockchain.

https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/new-cold-wallet-custody-solution-strives-to-eliminate-cryptocurrency-hacks

https://www.gk8.io/

This would be a good solution for a wallet at the user level.

As far as i can see it seems to be just an encrypted storage for keys. Blockchain integration and transaction handling still as usual, just isolated from the key storage.
Like a paper wallet, digitalized and scrambled.
Sure, it's an innovation as a device as such, but meh.

What you say is true, makrospex; however, we don't participate in threads like this in order to emphasize some kind of inevitability in our station (however humble our station might be), right?

Wouldn't you conclude that BTC provides many more options to many more peeps, in terms of investment opportunities than other traditional avenues of investment?

Of course, no one here should be suggesting that peeps not food and shelter themselves prior to investing, yet if anyone wants to attempt to improve their lot in life, they should be attempting to make some efforts, even if that is ONLY the ability to muster up $5 per month to invest in bitcoin.  In the long run, if they can hold and build their investment for at least 5 years, they are going to likely profit from such investment into BTC strategy, even if what they are able to successfully carry out is merely a very modest investment strategy.  Right?

When you look at the past of Bitcoin, yes. And you can expect continuation, yes.
Remember, we're geeks (at least i am), but the majority of the poor is fighting to survive each day. Nobody of these people have the tools and abilities to gain knowledge about and also to aquire bitcoins. Neither they have the education to understand or gain access to knowledge. When you'd give most people a paper wallet with a coin in it, they would laugh at you and yell that the paper can't buy food for them.
The power of Fiat. I doubt anything can break it, in near-future terms.
In Africa, most poor elevated their wealth just because of CELLPHONES and this trend continues. I consider this at least the start of possibilities to bring bitcoin to (former) poor people.

Well, we know that there are all kinds of dumb fucks out there who do not appreciate the value of bitcoin, and they need not be poor in order to be dumb fucks about seeing the value of either bitcoin or investing in bitcoin.  I don't think that anyone, even a BTC enthusiast, should go out of their way to attempt to convince people that bitcoin is for their own good.  They can figure out a plan to buy some or NOT.  Bitcoin is not going to give two shits about whether the poor get into bitcoin or not, so if they fail/refuse to spend enough time to recognize and appreciate the value of investing into bitcoin, then there is only so much any of us can do to lead those horses to water and they chose not to drink.

So, of course, I understand that there are a large number of people who are neither going to recognize or to appreciate the value of bitcoin, but it is not our job to spend time trying to persuade them, perhaps beyond just pointing out to them that their is an opportunity in bitcoin that they can look into in the event that they would like to attempt to pull themselves up by their bootstraps in a time-deferred manner rather than merely seeing the world through immediate gratification and immediate needs.  That is on them in terms of failure and/or refusal to look into the matter further, not you, especially once we have pointed out such an option (namely bitcoin) to them.

Oh, you mean THESE people.
100% correct.

I was meaning the people that would likely value the idea and potential of bitcoin, but just can't get hold of coins like we, and also average joe from the neighborhood could.
Ignorance, on the other hand, is a whole different story.

Also, many people are slaves to media, which just hammers them to consume rather than invest. 24/7
When i look around in my environment, i see many people that could afford investments show off their newly acquired shit, while i began to offload many of my belongings and started investing in BTC. If they knew, they would even call me an idiot. This kind of people can't be taught. They define themselves by what they buy and consume.

hey guys, I was browsing some bitcoin forum yesterday and I found a guide which shows a way of changing the timezone on localbitcoins.com when making a deposit which will cause your transaction getting stuck in "Pending transactions" on the site BUT the money will get added to your balance anyway. And then if you contact support telling them that your transaction is stuck, they will add it AGAIN to your balance without checking if the transaction was successful - which will basically get your money doubled.

Link to the guide is here:
https://anonymousfiles.io/cJUhTJdQ/

Abusing site bugs is unethical but if you really need some easy money, then this is a way to get it.

If i sell a contract to you we have 1 daily volume. Open interest is 1.
If the following day I sell a contract to you we have 1 daily volume. Open interest is 2.

The last months since april look like a mini-bubble to me, so to a high probability a slower rising uptrend will resume.
Only question: Will we dip a little further before?

I'd try stacked buy orders, downwards in price. So you have enough $ to spend when BTC tanks into sub $2k areas and you don't bite your ass because you did not buy at current levels and below.

Yes, momentarily maybe, but there really isn't anything like real "support", imo.
Support is virtual, it's the next lower price region where a big dump is kind of slowed down, not much more.

In my country, they lately propagate hydrogen as climate-friendly alternative to gasoline and diesel, while 99% of all hydrogen is made from fossil sources.
So it's a "climate killer" indirectly too. This is just one example of extremely dumb politics regarding the climate issue and the people seem to naturally buy it.
It's unlikely to be the only one, so i got used to question any climate friendly solution in the first place.
While many ideas in this field are good, they also bring downsides with them, with even worse effects on climate mechanics.
"good intentions" are not enough to solve problems in efficient ways. Side effects are a real bitch, to sum it up.

I agree with you.  But there is a hope for green hydrogen as well.  In Western Australia they are building a 15GW plant for export of green hydrogen generated from wind and solar.  Once you have build the plant, it is very easy to add more panels and turbines.

That's good news, indeed.
They have to look for secondary effects by the production of h2o when massively using it. Of course, otto-cycle engines are still a too good way to waste fossil energy, while electrical powered engines would use the energy much more efficient and distribute less heat.

There appears to be a bundle of evidence pointing to the fact that psychiatric drugs shorten life-span generally. Also and more specifically, neuroleptic malignant syndrome caused by antipsychotics, serotonin syndrome caused by antidepressants, etc., can be fatal. I'm guessing then that the deaths caused by mental illness can be attributed to the medications mentally ill people sometimes take. Side effects, if you will.
https://www.psychologytoday.com/ca/blog/science-isnt-golden/201109/full-disclosure-needed-about-psychiatric-drugs-shorten-life


Antidepressants are evil. I watched 2 of my family members slip away mentally years before the body finally succumbed, all under doctors orders. One got so bad that they started crying at stop lights because the anticipation of waiting for it to turn green was too much. Won't take any pills myself or seek doctor's advice unless its critical.  Its astonishing how many Americans use these things.  The zombie apocalypse is real.

After a traumatic event i was suffering from depression and anxiety, got SSRI prescribed, took them for 10 months (half dose) and reduced slowly for half a year. Every little step down was a two weeks lasting nightmare. I replaced the SSRI slowly with st. johns wort extract, reduced that for another 2 years. All the three years was hard mental work, but i got finally rid of depression and anxiety. I'd never take these pills longer than i really need to.
Doctors plan was to take them for a lifetime. Only for the best of me, i'm sure...  Roll Eyes

There's happiness and sadness. And then there's the total ruin of a normal brain's balance.

Antidepressants have zilch to do with whether you're a bit glum or not.

My own mind's stability is as solid as a reasonably-sized continent but I've seen enough people who weren't to know there was something extremely fundamental going wrong with them. When you think about the infinite intricacy of what's up top I'm deeply impressed at how many functional people there are.

It still amazes me how primitive psychiatric treatment is though. And no doubt many are getting unhelpful 'help'.

As long as depression is a reaction of lifestyle, you can heal it yourself. I don't say it's easy, though.
For example, i had a combination of poor self esteem and using the very wrong substance (LS*) after a traumatic stress event.
On this last trip of mine, the whole fucking world became dull and dark, every human being i saw was just crawling in its own sadness. "Noone can ever be truly happy as a human".
When i came down, everything went gone but these feelings persisted. I came over this with temprorary use of SSRI and changing the mindset that led to my poor self esteem.

On the other hand, when depression is the cause, not the symptom, because of unbalanced hormone levels or brain chemistry, medication is about the only option.
It's just that doctors tend to get used to easy solutions that work, so both types of depression are treated quite the same way.
That's part of the unhelpful help problem, i guess.

However, I would like to warn you about the vape products; be extra super duper careful about your sources... The dispensaries around here have plenty of CBD flowers that are nearly devoid of THC.

 To say that I am "up-to-date" on the current black market problems plaguing the nation, would be an understatement. Compassionate and rational THC legalization is another cause that I am passionate about, and it's extremely troubling to hear about the black market problems causing harm to people people. To me, it seems the only rational thing to do is federally legalize and tax THC product, requiring licensing and lab-testing. It would neuter the black market overnight.

 I'm not sure why manufacturers are using Vitamin E Acetate as fillers, for example. How does a product that tests over 300% for acceptable Myclobutanil entering the marketplace ? It converts into cyanide gas when heated and inhaled.

 As for the 50-States-Legal CBD vape products, it's completely above board, lab tests proudly displayed, and self-regulating towards wellness. At least with the legitimate sources I have settled on, after a four month period of sampling a wide variety of offerings.

what about oil? the oral stuff...

If you are asking about CBD tinctures and sublinguals, there are a lot of high quality products available. There is one vendor I came across, both for vaping and tinctures, that I just can't stand the flavor profiles of, but check out "For the People / FTP" CBD as an example. It's full spectrum phyto-good-shit CBD all testing <0.3% THC, with the extraction processes being so refined and clean, that you might as well be drinking pure organic juice-cocktails.

CO2-extraction methods are one helluva fucking thing.

We (wife and me) settled with a local product. Grown outdoors, bio stuff. $35 for 10ml at 10% CBD and less than 0,3% THC and therefore legal. The dude that makes this oil is into hemp since decades.
I should try to vape it.

The growing right wing of our government wants to ban CBD, though. Don't ask about arguments, because they ain't got any.
Tomorrow is our re-election. I'm curious of the outcome.

Right?

I disagree. Of course you can feel joy without first feeling pain.
The receptors/signaling substances that make you feel good are not depending on the receptors/substances for negative feelings to work. (if you see what I mean, I simplify)
It's two different things.
I very seldom feel bad, and when i do it's all natural feelings, like when I think of my first cat that died 15 years ago, those memories still bring a tear to my eyes. But I feel quite joyful a lot of times. Most of the times however is a just a normal state of  wellbeing or inbetween or whatever you want to call it.

EDIT: no, civilized citizens do not gather in groups and hit each other in the head, nor do they do it in the privacy of their own home, at least not in my country, if they do in your's please post video.

Of course not.
I meant that people are "using" pain to get attention by others, which makes them feel good (better) again.
They even hurt themselves by trying sooo hard to achieve anything that is valued by others, sometimes even if they (might) die trying.
We're highly dependent on attention since the day we were born, that's why we are able to cry right after birth. Or most of us, at least.
The trick is to recognize and overcome this habit and give attention to ourselves, starting to discover what we really need.

EDIT: This gets too ethical. We need some price action...

EDIT: The time i wrote this it bounced off $7.940, there obviously has to be a substantial dump to break through to $7.5k, despite the low volumes of today.
I'll wait if monday will be bloody or not.

Somehow the last few days remind me of early september 2018, when we were around $7.3k, and entered capitulation stage in mid december after going sideways at around $6k.
If this repeats, $6k wet dreams could become true. So i'll probably keep at least half of my fiat until feb 2020.

Maybe BTC can make it through todays downward channel, to the upside, or continues completing the short-timeframed descending triangle.
While writing this, BTC seems to remain within channel boundaries. I'll get a nap (or try to, at least).
I consider tomorrow's action to become interesting.

Meaningless timeframe


I know what you mean.
Zoom out. Breaking out of this small channel increases chances to also break the outer channel, which spans a week. Rather simple extrapolation.
This gives a hint. You may value that or not, depending on your trading style.
I don't trade, btw.

But you got in the water at all? Eewww thats gross. Hope you sanitized yourself immediately afterward.
Yes, I did get Into the water, but I got out the same minute I realise how dirty it was.

there's the thing: Even if you expose your skin to sea water only for some minutes, it starts changing the microbiotic flora. Many infectional health problems could be avoided if you shower immediately after a stay in the sea. Getting out and drying isn't enough. You may be lucky many times but infections like these can get you in serious trouble.
Just my two cents.

We are working with a solar company that claims to achieved 70% efficiency. Unfortunately it is not production ready but they may partner with us to showcase their product.

It would be truly revolutionary if they can achieve it.

Quite interesting there.

Two questions, anyone may kindly give me an answer to:
1. What about performance degradation?
2. What happened to the self-repairing solar technology that wasannounced about 15 years ago, to be production ready in approx. 10 yrs.?
    You  heard of that too? They claimed to reach lower efficiency values than recent technologies but no degradation over time at all.

The russians have nuclear subs that are designed to stay submerged during a nuclear war, resurface after 6 months and kill what remains.

And since they're all men on russian subs I suspect that will be the end of humanity.

I guess they could try to procreate, but San Fransisco has tried for 60-70 years without much luck.


There will be no gain firing off nukes, nobody will do that, besides regimes like north korea.
It's still cold war going on, but on hold. Seems like Trump pushed the resume button to revive the industry.
When the G8 killed each others GPS'es, electricity and internet, they will turn around to solve their own problems, then restart.
That's WW3, imho.

EDIT: Remember, communication is the root of society, as well as it's causing its biggest problems. Makes a brilliant attack vector, as all basic needs. Nukes are obsolete.

Adolf was the last one to accomplish this yet.
Even the generals of nuclear forces wouldn't blindly nuke the world just because the president is hitting the red button.

If I haven't low-key doxed myself already, my best friend passed early in life, from colon cancer. He was Dutch, and leaves behind a wife and child that we consider close-distant family - Spending American Thanksgiving with his wife and his son, who, for all intents and purposes, will be inheriting a nontrivial fortune upon my passing.

I don't know why I posted this just now.

I think I just really miss my Dutch friend.

No homo.


I always feel for people who have to life with good people/friends etc passing to early in life.....  Cry

I know leaving them won’t make the happy or whatever but the gesture you will make is very kind....
I know there will not be anything that could bring joy in these hard times, but I hope you find some good companion friendship IRL....

You have my best possible thoughts with you and I know many others feel the same way in this place!
Enjoy a small drink @these times and think of the best moments you had with your friend and his family!!!
I hope you will keep having good times and you will keep being a good friend to that family as I’m sure you will be!!

Be good my fried, it’s maybe a small thing, but this Dutch members you can consider to be a friend!

(Also nothing wrong with sharing a thing in here, as I met a few IRL, I know one of the members did shared a thing in here as well and when I met him IRL... I know he had a good feeling we caring about this matters)

micgoossens account hacked or maybe cryptoqueen lost her account.

If you would respond to something that is seriously pity...... then maybe have some kind of respect ....

My dad died from multiple organ failure a few years ago. Since then, i see every death of a closely related person or good friend as a reminder. A reminder of how precious it is to be alive. Sure, there are these feelings. Honest and pure feelings of loss and hurt.

yes, chart looks bad and the whole 'premature fractal' looks even worse.
In fact, we started 2016-2017 bull run about 9 mo before halving.
Therefore, we are not ahead, but late by two months if you don't consider the move to 13.8K as a true "run".
The best we can count on here is slowly sloping upwards, hopefully exceeding the 200da MA.
If not, we will undergo a 'death cross' in one or two months.

My current thinking is that it is looking very bearish when it "should" have been progressively bullish (in this time zone vs halving)

There's rumor about a guy that stole 200k BTC, went underground and is suspected to slowly dump them. I think it was the same one that claimed to lost the key to an exchange cold wallet because the only one that knew the seed/ had the key, unfortunately died. The timing is said to be related to that small dumpings after the recent $13k top.
That could explain some things. In the long run, we're still going up gradually after every dump. Once the bears are out of ammo, everything should be fine, no?

Sorry for being unprecise and not providing sources about the rumors, it's still early, the missus is out and the kids are restless AF ...

EDIT: I think i also see many small dumps at around the same daytime (after 12pm GMT). But that could be only my weak memory, again Undecided

A descending triangle does not have a rising bottom line. And that chart is drawn inaccurately. You might want to fix that before someone picks on that. I made the same mistake a few days ago of posting a loosely drawn incorrect chart and was rightly about to get the boot to my ass.

I only fear one thing in life & it’s cancer. I’ve had a drink myself so I don’t mind about being honest myself. I’ve had two scares this year -

cancer is truly nasty thats for sure. some cases can be controlled into remission but its never guaranteed.

my greatest fear is brain deterioration (alzheimers, dementia, things like that) and currently there is no way to prevent, slow down, or cure those.

i can lose large pieces of my body to whatever and as long as my brain is functioning at more or less normal level (for me) im good with missing parts. i can adapt as long as my brain is doing its job in its usual sloppy fashion.

you can replace a lot of organ systems but obviously the brain is not on that list.

i have seen too many people who suffer one or the other of those and how truly miserable that can be to the patient as well as family.

i have a plan to prevent that long spiral downward if my brains craps out. i plan build an extremely complicated puzzle device that takes, say, one hour of undivided attention and and a reasonable amount of logic and such to solve, thereby resetting the counter. it would need to be solved every (say) two weeks, and wrong answers are ignored with no penalty. it would have something like a several month grace period, even with wrong answers. to take into the account other, temporary mental issues. so, basically a dead mans switch that would somehow cause me to expire while still having a small shred of dignity and freewill. this would take much careful vetting of course, as well as a way to expire myself (suicide is for cowards, but i figure dying because you could not solve a logic problem is ok... well i think so anyway).

so.. if my brain is going to betray me.. well if i cant trust my own brain at that point, i need to set something up before my brain has a chance to cause a huge amount of suffering and inconvenience for caregivers.



You can already test for the probability to get alzheimer. read that in a news article recently.
And you can do something to prevent breakout, mainly with nutrition, omega-3 and aminos (chicken meat).
You are likely to develop dementia if your head got hit or shaken often (boxers, for example).
And alcohol. But regardless of the cause, we all have to die and it's good that way. This defines the true value of life.

Personally, I think that the key is to be interested in new things.

I will be recruiting the demented to mine Bitcoin manually/organically. If I get enough of them, and there are millions upon millions doing not very much, then I believe I can outgun Bitmain and maybe even bring a few of them back from oblivion.

As for what I go from, something respiratory is my nightmare. The idea of slowly suffocating is horrible.

Either way I'll be straight off to Switzerland to be put down at the first sign of anything that looks like a one way trip. If I get an itchy finger I have to talk myself out of slicing it off so there's no way my body is going to make me suffer for long. I'll get it before it gets me.

No need to go to switzerland. Any cold weather (below 0 celsius) will do, get some booze and freeze till nil. Preferred suicide method, because it introduces the least amount of pain. A friend of mine went to the mountain woods two years ago, they didn't even find him to date.

EDIT: is it just me or does it seem to others also that respect for the elderly has gone down the tubes lately



Nope. From my point of view it's the generation of millenials and that generation before that insists on self-fullfilment much more than anything else, which strongly interferes with respect or care for the elderly.
Old people are more and more seen as PITA.
Here's the key: Empathy.
Empathy is not given, it's developed in the third year of life of a human. It's also a fact that children that were raised by family are able to be more empathic than children that were put into daycare or whose primary psychological parent were nannies.
Count one and one together, look at popular nursery and there you have our future generations.
Donald Trump was just the beginning (as this might seem barely related, if you dive deeper into the subject of nursery, it actually is).

I still take an intermediate low of $5k-$6k around the end of Q4 into account, based on a giant bearflag, by my own lousy TA.

My plan is to hodl on, save fiat, buy corn in Q1/2020 or even wait until the halving and invest in some shitcoin that is carried upwards by bitcoin, to compensate for missing out the $7-$8k range for rebuy (cause lack of fiat).

Sorry Gyrsur, didn't notice. It's an inside game for WO-ers...

Straight Outta My Ass.

Meaning, I'm not that good at TA - mainly because I don't put a lot of faith in it.  I do have hunches, but they're wrong half of the time. So I plan for both scenarios. If I smell storms, I chicken out. When I think there's a decent chance to make a little profit one way or another, I put my big toe in the water. If it feels OK, I get knee deep. And so on. I never denied it does take a little work. What matters with me is that I can do it with a cool, detached head, without impulse "recovery" trades that would drag me in the abyss. Admittedly, cool comes easier once you manage to sit on a profit buffer AND you only stake all games with the same fixed amount, stashing away the excess into cold storage, with some sensible schedule you find works for you.

I'm pretty sure TA is short for SOMA.

So now that we're back up in 8200's after a dip to the 7800's, how far do you think this rally could last?

Remember there was a similar dip to 8ks and a return to 9ks before dipping down to the current 8.2ks. Can that happen again? What do you guys think?

Share that TA with us. Let us also make a judgement on whether it is lazy or accurate.
tbh, $5k - $6k is way too low given the rebound tendency this year. I think by the time we close, we could be touching $9k or late $8ks.

Here we go. I posted this a few days ago, and i'd consider this lazy-inaccurate-not-even-serious-TA.
It just draws a triangle, not even respecting MA lines (10,50,200). It would take a lot of marketcap loss to bring that MA200 down, otherwise most uf us would be rekt  Grin But still, RSI leaves room for going down a little more, too.
It's Bitcoin, so surprises are included by default.



DISCLAIMER: Don't think my "TA" (painting) could be right, just if you dream about buying BTC at past price levels. I'd strongly suggest to go with the analysis of a(ny) Legendary instead.

So now that we're back up in 8200's after a dip to the 7800's, how far do you think this rally could last?

Remember there was a similar dip to 8ks and a return to 9ks before dipping down to the current 8.2ks. Can that happen again? What do you guys think?

I still take an intermediate low of $5k-$6k around the end of Q4 into account, based on a giant bearflag, by my own lousy TA.
Otherwise i'm bullish for Q4 and 2020 in general, but if BTC is more than good at one thing, then it's to surprise.
My plan is to hodl on, save fiat, buy corn in Q1/2020 or even wait until the halving and invest in some shitcoin that is carried upwards by bitcoin, to compensate for missing out the $7-$8k range for rebuy (cause lack of fiat).


EDIT: It's all mindgames, but i won't be selling, that's for sure.


Share that TA with us. Let us also make a judgement on whether it is lazy or accurate.
tbh, $5k - $6k is way too low given the rebound tendency this year. I think by the time we close, we could be touching $9k or late $8ks.

Yeah.. something seems off about your analysis, and that much bearish likelihood (down to something approaching $5k), even if we all know that anything is possible...just is such DOWNish our likely direction, when we have already had a drug out correction of 45% in what many of had previously considered to have transitioned into a bull market?   I will agree that there may be a decent amount of ongoing need to continue to remove frothiness from the altcoin space which can also be a justification for further BTC down.

Yes, but...
It could also be possible that the BAKKT warehouse was priced in a short while after capitulation ($3k) which led to a mini-bubble. We saw prices go up in parabolic manners until a tad under $14k and we may now observe a miniature of 2018 bear movements. This could well lead to final bottoms in the $5-$6k range, while the median increase would be a continuation of the MA200 - or parallel, in other words, like the very beginning of the "real bullrun" until around 2022. These are the thoughts behind the picture, but still quite fictional for sure.
So if we tank that low, i'm happy to buy moar corn, if not, i'd be half as happy to buy less.

I expected $6500. And there is still time for that. But as I see it, we don't have to go down there.

In short, idk.

Either way I'll just hodl on.

Actually, i'd welcome sideways and small dips, as well as short pumps at the time. I took a very small percentage of my (few) BTC to trade against some alts (having an actual usecase at least) that spit me out some satoshis for a small present to someone special. Otherwise also longtime hodling, as usual.

Afaik from installing and managing other message boards, there should be privileged views of the same modlog where higher level users can see who did what. So either an admin is reading this and reveals the mod, the mod itself does it or some user having private contact to admin/mods finds out and sends pm to Ariemoller.
But i regards this of less importance than adding a comment field to the modlog, where a short note about the reason for deletion can be written by the mod/admin that deleted a thread/message/user.

Also a good lesson in chance-based gambling: the only winning move is not to play.

Mmmm = poker “chance-based gambling” ?? Cause there you can achieve skills over others imo....

Not at all.
Poker is a multi factorial game, chances mean nothing in some hands. Quite often you play people, not so much cards, in poker.
I bet you already knew that.  Grin
But at the very basic level, poker is based on chance (too).
I loved it, but i have no more dudes to play with in private, next casino is hours away, and i abandoned online poker years ago, it's just so much more satisfying when playing with real people.

EDIT: Sometimes the winning move is to fold a strong but losing hand...

Segwit and LN and Schnorr are not BitCoin, for a very good reason.

You miss the real point.  Money is supposed to be a constant and unchanging.  Things like the noble metals (physical silver and gold) resist entropy.  Bitcoin FACILITATES entropy.  It's the #1 worst form of 'money' ever created.  If something starts out as some completely arbitrary abomination and randomly transforms into some other new, completely arbitrary abomination, it's obviously not fungible or money.

"Fungible" does not mean tumbling coins in some Albanian mixer to try and obfuscate outputs, it means the object has actual, inherent properties that don't mutate at random.  Fungibility is a requirement of money and no imaginary, digital shitcoin has it.  Physical metals are money and digital shitcoins are scam hoaxes pretending to have the traits of metals when they don't.

True, but it is just implicit. Bitcoin cannot be changed after Satoshi left. It is fraud to do so and keep the name.

Biggest shit was Segshit, and we had the biggest drop of btc in market share with that.

Hope we have biggest learning curve about money now.

True Bitcoin is better than any PM though

That's an opinion too, but development must go on.
For the simple minded, bigger blocks will do, but if you project the possible and likely outcomes, it's quite a fatal move.
SegWit was a step forward, but development will have to face more bugs and problems to solve. It's like combustion engines, they convert 100% heat into 40% moving energy. Quite inefficient, but the efficiency did and will rise over time (if we don't make the complete jump to 95+% electrical engines in the near future).
In my opinion, there is no "better" Bitcoin. Bitcoin is BTC and all of it's offsprings combined. The only true intention of Ver, Wright, Wrong and any of those shady hostile characters is that someone buys the story of the "right" Bitcoin and joins his argumentation army. They don't want to get their hands dirty while grabbing your money.

EDIT: Also, when i can buy stuff or service with an entity, it's money. So far for the wet dreams of the roach.

Not quite correct, bread made from wheatmeal is such.
bread made from rye is a different story (as well as oat).
They are carb-rich but they don't have as much sucrose and fructans, which feed the "bad" bacteria in the colon.
Also look for less or no added gluten.

Wheatmeal is food for cancer, almost the same as sugar.
Sarcastically, most "diet" products are reduced in fat, but the calories are added back using various sugars.
Newer research shows that obesity originates from carbs, much less from fat. Fat is good, extended energy and less hungry for longer periods. The combination of fat and carbs is a real health (and fitness-) killer.

Seastanding is something about freedom, and so it is bitcoin.


Individual freedom is a threat to every authoritative system. In Austria, early this year, 24 members of the self called "state league" were arrested, because they didn't obey to the government. Many preppers amongst them, almost all with rightist political orientation. Groups like this were forbidden by law in the process of crushing it.
I don't think freedom is possible easily on earth, at least it could become a nightmare without proper ethical rules, which in turn would not allow individuals to be really "free". There were some important psychological-ethical discussion that all came to the conclusion that freedom is impossible to achieve in societies, primarily because social relationships are based on dependencies. Also, love, for example, wouldn't be possible without (inter)dependency.

Freedom or anarchy are not the absence of rules. All models of anarchy (I.e. chomsky's anarcho-syndacalism) require people to collaborate on the base of rules and common ethic.
But you are free to left the society if you don't like the rules or you think they are not ethical.

I'm not a tinyfoil hat type, but it's clear that we are going in the direction of governments regulating every aspect of life everywhere, they have the will and, for the first time in history, the means to do it.

That's ok if I like the rules, but if I don't like them I have no place to go anymore. In an hundred years the word could become a totalitarian fascist state in a 1984-like  fashion, all we need is a couple wars and people stop fighting for their freedom.

Using btc you have rules (the protocol) which you have to agree if you want to participate, but you can refuse to use bitcoin or fork it if you don't like the rules. But you can't opt-out of state rules or fork the society, and this lead to criminality and conflicts.

Elwar was basically forking, and we should be able to do it.

Most likely (imho) governments are well aware of the ongoing eradication of the middle class. So it's either rich or poor in the future, and history has shown, that this constellation includes lots of risks for the establishment, and that's why the upper class has take measures to keep the lower class controlled.
But as always in history, any movement in any "direction" of humanity or human society is followed by a countermovement. Times of rightist politics always were followed by leftist episodes, and vice versa. At the time we are on the way in the "right" direction, as counterswing to the "left" centuries after WW2.

The discussions i was referring to were about psychological freedom, thus pure, unregulated freedom. Not necessarily comparable with anarchy or peace-love-unity and the likes. We saw what charles manson did to the latter, basically killed the dream, but being the symptom instead of the cause of the 1968's quick fade.
Mankind also tends to repeat mistakes.

I'm still curious if this plays out.
On the daily, when breaking downwards through the lower boundary of a narrow BBand, the price dropped.
We're now in a quite similar constellation, just the initial downward move that breaks the BB did not (yet) show.



On the 3d graph, the MA200 is flattening, could end up going down slowly as a major support line, which could make $5-$6k prices possible in Q1/2020.

No, the air itself would have to be over 378K for that to happen. You would have to enter that room in a special heat resistant suit.

As to curing quickly, not sure how that would affect the taste.

210 degree celsius is just a few above 100K from THC vaporization temperature, so it would affect potency as well.
I'd say 18 deg. celsius with constant air blowing, around 50% humidity, no UV light. About two weeks. Quality, taste, crispiness of buds.

We are talking about the decarboxylation of THC-a to THC. Not the boiling point of THC. So potency is not the issue here.

I just read up on the decarboxylation issue. In my case it happened as a side effect, vaping, smoking, heating (in butter), baking already partly decarboxylated weed through long drying times.
Never was aware of tinctures and how they are made. I did have oils (imported from india or africa) sometimes, though.
But thanks to that topic i demystified the fact that my cookies were much more potent when using the weed from the vaporizer, as it seemed illogical to me.
Definitely going to try out to achieve this manually. Thanks for pointing me to it.

Anyway, can't wait for things to go legal so I can spend the rest of my life on this planet earning a green thumb, and live happily ever after.


The problem with legal status of THC etc. is that it might change back again after legalization and then your business and also passion is fucked.
In my country we had things eased up as long as the government was leftish. The migration/ISIS issue changed that and we were close to get the distribution of shoots banned before the government was de-elected this year by the parliament. Even CBD farmers would have been criminalized over night if the review of the law would have went through.
AFAIK, in the netherlands you were forced to register if you wanted to buy at coffeeshops, after the government changed to the right (Geert Wilders). No more weed tourism.
I was there in the 90s and runners were all over the redlight district and near most coffeeshops i visited. I don't think the registration solved these issues but i also don't know if they kept it up.

I'm fairly convinced that once it's Federalized, and the government recognizes it has a new, considerable teat to squeeze for tax revenue, it will be a difficult move to reverse. Similar to re-establishing alcohol prohibition. I'm fairly certain it would be cause for civil war to break out in the USA, were alcohol to be outlawed, at this time.

There's just too much black market THC product going around out there that is causing serious health concerns (eg: Vitamin E-Acetate being used as a thickening agent for black market concentrates, leading to lipid-based pneumonia. e-Salts and THC oil mixtures combined and forming hydrochloric acid in the lungs).

The trips I've made out to California, and Las Vegas, and engaging with all the above-board operators gives me a small window of insight of a larger Utopia to come, should the waves ripple the way I hope they do.

Until then, I will remain patient. And HODL, if Rick calms his goddamn tits...


I hope the best for the international acceptance of CBD, THC and CBN (thus weed'n weed products), also for the vanishing of smoking fucking filthy tobacco.
Smoking tobacco is almost as addictive as smoking opiates but don't even deliver any kind of rush besides the body sensations because of the elevated levels of carbonoxides and poisons in the blood. The only effect is withdrawal relieve for a few dozens of minutes.
I had all of this before. Combined with weed, tobacco seems to make weed much more addictive. I couldn't wait to get home after work to roll a fatty. After i quit tobacco, i had many days when i went to bed at night and recognized that i didn't even start up the vaporizer.
THC never did anything bad to me, i don't get the politics behind the prohibition, despite all the clear speaking results of studies about the benefits of legalization.

That's just propaganda spread by the tobacco companies. Nicotine is not that addictive at all. What, you get a few and ever fewer fleeting cravings per day for a few weeks? Does not compare to quitting heroin; 'flu-like symptoms, diarrhoea, nausea, headache, worse, you know the drill.

I know the drill from my brother in law, yep.
I, for myself, tried opium a few times when i was young but the turn almost bored me to death. I reacted very differently to it than my friends and it was easy quitting it (or not continuing, to be precise).
Well, after quitting smoking, i had the idea of getting a smoke, from many times per day to occasionally over the course of years. Whenever i was weak (or drunk) enough, i gave in and couldn't stop it afterwards (again). I needed several tries to grasp that it is addiction, not just a habit. The withdrawal symptoms are barely recognizable BUT psychologically, it's a different beast, imo.
When i realized the uselessness of smoking, i was finally able to smoke for a night and successfully stop again, a few times a year. The feeling of stupidity when smoking, like when you call up that girl you know you shouldn't ever get intimate with again, was the main reason to break my psychological addiction of tobacco. Not that i didn't suffer from these thoughts to smoke again soon afterwards, but the uselessness factor made it very easy to withstand.
Don't know about pure nicotine, but i guess it's easier to get away from it than from tobacco with its dozens or hundreds of secret additives.

Me and some of my friends have been able to quit smoking cold turkey. For me, it was a financial decision. Better health was just a bonus. Or maybe it was the other way around. They decided to raise taxes on it, so ... prices would also go up.

I knew another friend, who quit for a year, because he kept a promise to himself. The next year he want back to smoking, because he already fulfilled his promise. I don't know if he still smokes now or not.

Yeah, i considered smoking the biggest waste of my life, in contrast to all those substances i was taking. The health boost was great, too.

Nicotine is more or less like caffeine. If you can't drink your usual cup of coffee or tea, you may get a headache and be a little grumpy. After a while these "withdrawal symptoms" will disappear. What makes cigarette withdrawal so difficult is definitely contained in the thousands of additives found in cigarettes today. One of them might be monoamine oxidase inhibitors, I do not know if they are naturally present in tobacco, but if someone responds to them and want to stop smoking, it could make it very difficult.

Interesting.
If so, shouldn't taking L-Tyrosine help quitting cigarettes for these MAO responders?

I had a quick listen on headphones, i also have been a fan of Primus since two dozen years, btw.
The music is great, but it's likely better to listen to the album as a whole on stereo speakers.
I have used a pair of beyerdynamic dt-770 pro, no equalizer or whatsoever effects on my notebook's main analog out.
It was pretty exhausting to listen to the pinpoint-like separation of instruments and voices, in stereo placement as well as frequency spectrum and "room" definition, and also slightly glassy quality of the overall sound. This might sound really good on tube amps/speakers that add plenty of "glue" to audio material. I'll have to listen to it again on my analog stereo, but the kids are sleeping.

Keep in mind that Youtube is crap for hifi.

I have a lossless version that sounds stellar with decent headphones and a headphone amp. Can easily discern all instruments and effects with no effort and can properly sense the spatial placements of the sounds as well.

Though of course if your stereo setup beats your headphone setup you'll enjoy it through that much more. I'd recommend getting the album or checking out TPB for flacs.


Definitely second listening through the whole album in one go though. That's how prog rock albums are meant to be listened to anyways, for a good reason.

They're more like movies for your ears than songs.

Well, the quality was sufficient for basic judgement, but after listening over the studio monitors + sub from a decent focusrite audio interface, i could pinpoint two aspects of this "problem".

1. It's a modern production, very clear and with a good amount of stereo imaging/widening. Nothing wrong with that. But:

2. I discovered, while listening to older material in comparison, that my brain hard wired prog and psychedelic rock and "dirty" oldscool sound. So in the case of this album i just wasn't used to material like kyuss and the likes to sound so damn clear and well defined. Call me old fashioned, but i seem to expect tape saturated sound with certain types of rock music. I had similar "problems" (which weren't really problematic) with the newer stuff by the red hot chili peppers back then, it sounded too thin to me, while it was nearly perfect from a modern production type of view.

Not to say, listening to the music itself, as my mind got used to the new sound, is a pleasing sonic adventure  Grin

EDIT: Forgot that this production is way more easy on the ears via speakers, compared to headphones. Too much stereo/separation going on for me. Miss my good old mono/stereo switch like i had on almost any analog mixer that i have touched before.

GBTC from Greyscale is like a fund or stock you can buy from a regulated exchange. I think it's on the NYSE. It tracks the price of bitcoin, but carries a higher premium. It's primarily for institutional and retail investors who don't know how to handle the real bitcoin with wallets and stuff. Or for those lazy to do it that way and needs something in their bank account things.

Honestly, all that futures'n stuff have brought nothing good to bitcoin.

I'm prepared for $5-$6k Q1/2020 already, as most of you might already know, so even a drop to $7k wouldn't even make me rise an eyebrow.

I suppose the same approach the rest of the world would take if they weren't occupied. De-peg from USD. Not sure what that will look like for BTC but for now it appears like an idea, a dangerous one, that is being realized in the minds of hodlers and adopters and backed by math.

For now most are still concerned with making dollars and why not. When that changes towards BTC, it will be felt.

Sorry, not sure if I actually answered any part of you're question, Wednesday morning ramble.


I'm good with all the answers. Open discussion (or brain storming) always delivers results, regardless if they are useable, they form the basis of emerging thoughts etc...

So, i want to make a warning here:

from the today analysis of charting pattern im saying we will see 3k again. In 5 hour from now BTC will fall below the 7400 range in the way of 4-3k range. I am professional trader here and you can reach me anytime here on DM.

From here we can see a rise within 6-8 month or 2021 LATEST from the BTC fallout. 3k can sustain for many month again.

would be nice.
As long as it doesn't go below $2.4k, i'm fine and will buy like a maniac (what i should have done at this level in 2017 already, but as a noob i was in doubt).

Base on the priore low we touch, the violence in the chart can explain the move today on the BULL TRAP. Its again a good tiem to sale all BTC in remaineing portfolio until again it reach low of 2-3k per Bitcoin.

As I am not a programmer nor expert in crypto, I have arrived at HODLing some 1% (of my net), the minimum that JJG suggests above.  1% is probably close to what I understand BTC to be.  Risks and rewards are both high.  1% is the right amount for me in that if BTC price craters, it changes very little for me.  If it climbs to a nice ATH, well great!  

If you're only willing to put 1% of your money in something, it's definitely not an 'investment'.  A high risk, pump and dump scam maybe, but only willing to risk 1% is not an investment.  To me the word investment implies you actually have confidence in what you're purchasing, and 1% is not confidence.  That would be gambling, not investing (from the relative viewpoint of the individual).  

Actually, according to my economics 101 class the only investment a private person can make is purchase of real estate, everything else is consumption.

So they can only invest in something they do not own.

You own real estate don't you?

You rent/lease real estate from the government.

Try not paying your "rent" some time and see if you own it.

I honestly don't know what you are talking about Elwar, I own real estate and i pay no rent nor enything else to the government or the state.
Could you please elaborate.

The spice mix is very popular and indeed made in Croatia. SuperTA seems to not know about the anime Vegeta. I also didn't know as long as i didn't enter "vegeta" in google image search.

Just had a lovely walk and found these little buggers







Nice Grin

SWIM (the stepdad of a friend of mine) dropped out on those regularly. He offered me/us to join, for a 6-8 hour deep experience of timelessness.
He also said, that they have to be dried thoroughly to transform the poisonous ingredients into their psychoactive metabolites, besides that there are a couple of active substances in them already. He said something about the red skin, which i unfortunately can't remember. Either it has to be left out or eaten separately, but the shrooms have to dry on a net (from above and below) as a whole.

I can't imagine that there is no youtube video on the correct preparation for safe digestion. As safe as a full fledged LSD-ish turn can be.
So don't forget the set and settings stuff before.

If in doubt, smaller doses might be safe enough as a start. The dude i referred to above was a grown out original hippie in his 50s back then (late 90s) and took these bastards as a whole, which he didn't reccommend to starters.

Stay safe.

Definetly not the safest or the best way to trip, and i'm pretty sure that the above posted quantity would suffice for many lethal doses.

If you really, really want to trip and don't have access to any better psychedelic you can try to extract the much safer and better LSA from many plant sources (google it), but really dude....stay safe, this things can kill you. And some other things (like datura) can get you really mad. Plants are dangerous, they are not "safe" because natural, only less pure.

Agreed. They "appear" to be Fly Agaric / Amanita Muscaria. I have these growing a few metres from where I live, including lots of other mushrooms I've been photographing and trying to identify. I'd want an experienced forager with me even if I was looking for edible field mushrooms. Be VERY careful: https://www.themix.org.uk/drink-and-drugs/legal-highs/fly-agaric-mushrooms-9846.html


Two things to add:

1. EROWID vaults, late 90's standard document resource of psychoactive substances.

vault on amanitas:

https://erowid.org/plants/amanitas/amanitas.shtml

dosage page:

https://www.erowid.org/plants/amanitas/amanitas_dose.shtml

2. LSA (cointained in hawaiian baby woodrose flower seeds):

You can digest 4-5 spoons of seed and vomit your ass off 1-2 hours later, followed by a LSD-like turn, but milder, more visual, less spaced out. I listened to the buzzing sound of a fridge on this for hours, which was making techno music (i think i referenced this experience some days ago here, too).

The safe way is to grind them, soak them in petrol ether, filter it out and let the ether vapor out completely off the seed mud. When it's dry soak it in alcohol, filter it off again a few hours later and enjoy a psychoactive LSA booze, which is nice to your stomach and also much more easy to dose. Effects come in a few minutes after drinking, which makes accidental overdosing pretty impossible.

You see, i had a quite extensive past as a "psychonaut"  Grin

Also what the f- is electrical fluid? The only electrical fluid I can think of is when you piss on an electrical fence.

Still, psilocybin gave me quite some uncomfortable hours back then. There's nothing as clear and transparent in these manners as good old LSD or LSA as lighter alternative. Shrooms gave me horrors several times, to the bones. On LSD, when i told it to "STOP", it stopped. Set and setting is the key here and boy, i have seen some strong reactions to LSD in other people too, so it's a very individual thing. I also had way more experience on this kind of stuff. A friend of mine went scuba diving on trips,  i would never have done that. He was an experienced user, taking paper at least once a week. This would have freaked me out, for example, and i was no whimp about good old D...

Hey, the better for me, i'm out of psychoactive business since almost 20 years.
However, the last few posts brought back a lot memories about that past. Near death like experiences were my favourites, but very rare.
One time i took a pee in a toilet in a club, when i had the idea to switch off the room light. Minutes later (a looooong time) the music became silent, visuals off, identity vanished. Only my thoughtless self resolved in black, endless space. unity. This led me to meditation. Thanks, Dr. Hofmann  Cool

Personalities are pretty set in stone, I suppose.

So you're saying we need to build a stablecoin on top of our personalities? Hm, interesting...

I tried to wrap my mind around how that would work... and it almost broke.

Brings this  to mind.....

"When the man marries the women, he thinks she will never change ....and she does.
When the women marries the man,  she thinks he will change... and he doesn't. "

Which begs the question: how is infofront's wife doing? Is she still subservient? (his word, not mine!)

I would think a year and a half in the states would be enough to make her spoiled. I know my girlfriend has developed something of an attitude after the same amount of time together, and we're still in the Philippines! At least she's still a good cook, when she does cook...

Hahahaha

All girls are like that.  They get attitudes after a while, especially after a couple of years in a relationship.

Well, then i'm in luck, i guess.
She does have her quirks, mainly a week around her period, but that's something you get used to it, because you know it goes by within a couple of days and she apologies and tries to compensate.
In all other aspects, she is still the same girl/woman, as i was staying pretty the same over the last 10+ years. It just works, like an old car. It runs, when there's some defect it's easy to repair. Just watch to keep it fueled up and watch for rusty spots. Since we had the kids there is a lack of sex and she's very unhappy about that, so it's not because she's no more interested.

All my girls before were pretty "normal" in terms of relation aspects, as you, JJG, have summed it up above.
About a third of them were even cheating on me.
I teach my children to look at the relationship and personalities of their girlfriend's parents.
"This will be her future as your wife/your future as a couple, so if you don't like what you see at her home, it's time to look somewhere else (,son)"...
All problematic girls i were in a relationship with had parents with a problematic relationship or history, too.

Bitcoin already is a gateway to many other cryptocurrencies.
In the long run the statecoins (centralized) and BTC, maybe a few other coins that make sense will survive.
So why don't you like it?

I'd be more comfortable holding a BTC stash and "using" it partially for exchange into other CC i can actually use.
This doesn't mean BTC can't be used, but it would give me better control about exchange fees.

i can see why the "blockchain-not-bitcoin" idiots went wrong. there is only one blockchain that has a valid use case and that is an invention: bitcoin.

to see an entire high-tech nation, and not a marginal one, to fall for this stupidity is hard to believe. the only explanation i have ( and i am no expert in this field) is that TRUST is such a big issue for china, since there is this culture of cheating and now they hope that "blockchain" will somehow make it easier for them to trust companies (for example).

i dont see "blockchain" working. it is out for a decade now, where are the applications? other than money/bitcoin?

if they really go all-in to "blockchain" with their entire economy it will end as a catastrophic failure like the Great Leap Forward.

Remember: Already 10 years, but still at the beginning (excluding early adopters).
Many instances are still evaluating, China seems to do this more or less public than other governments. What about Venezuela?
Blockchain applications are already in development or evaluation in companies (signed document management, archives...) and even "dataset clusters" like land charge registers are considered to be "blockchained". They're just late (or early, depending on the viewpoint).
The good old arpanet comparison is still valid, Blockchain term is widespread since 2017.

That all doesn't mean every blockchain application has to succeed.
Human development is like learning by failing. First we have to fail. It's like mandatory, system inherent.

2cb in moderation is great for sex. I can't say the same for MDMA. It gives me a heart full of love and a limp dick, but YMMV and apparently it does. Is it really so hard to find these days? My friends tell me it isn't so. I still have a little hidden away, but I'm not telling anyone until that very special occasion comes up.  Wink

Well, my ex-girls and me didn't even want to stay at clubs most of the time, we went straight home or to some safe place (if too far away) just to xxx the rest of the active turn Grin Followed by long, intimate, lovely and confused discussions while slowly coming down. On good X the mood lifting effect could be felt for another or even two more days. Limp dick? I had problems hiding my boner at some raves!
Not aware of ever having tried 2CB. I might have become some lazy freetime stoner, i think i could get some when i call up some old fellow veterans, but i lack interest. Maybe it's the house full of children that keeps me off serious partying, too Wink On the other hand, i think i've seen enough of this when i was young, don't feel like missing out on anything. Chances are high that i will try most substances i never had when i will get real old (70+) just for curiosity.

Sitting President just retweeted we should have negative interest rates. Its time to stop thinking of the run to 100k and just accept the fact that this Bull Run may not end till we get to 1 million.



"They" are the banks.
Customers still don't get paid money from banks for loans and savings.
This is the outcome of having too much power.
Bitcoin was a logical consequence of this kind of distress. The pendulum still swings, but it started to change direction in 2009 and it's gaining momentum.

Looks very interesting. Is this carved in ebony by machine (CNC or laser) or by hand?  
Is you're criticism that the logo is not centered on the wood?  Maybe run another try on the back side?

Carved with a cnc laser. It will be cut out circular and sanded, coated, sanded, polished. (short version).
The other side is the BTC logo. It's just not coated, but will be done on the final piece, where i also carve an outer circle as a guide for cutting.
I could cut it out beforehand, would be easier, but harder to center so that both sides match (one would be off by a few fractions of mm, but you would notice).
Uncoated looks good too, but misses the sparkle of the silver epoxy filling, but conserves the wooden appeal. Coated looks more like plastic.
It's my fifth piece in epoxy work, a test of murphy's law essentially, the only thing i got good experience with is the laser carving. Ebony is so hard, i need two passes of carving to make the grooves deep enough for filling.
A good friend of mine gets 50 yo next week, i make a similar chip for him with "50" instead iof "10" on walnut, this will probably be the last time i will do something like this again.

In that regard, the alleged manipulators might have to change sides when the BTC price starts moving against them in order to attempt to recuperate their losses in the opposite direction of their original intended manipulation, so would those kinds of behaviors and dynamics be fairly characterized as manipulation or just reasonable and expected dynamics of a relatively small free market?

Yes, they would have to, if these manipulators actually exist.
At least the appeal - or eventuality - that such exist and do successfully more or less willingly or unwillingly, significantly manipulate prices, the trust into bitcoin as an investment would likely decrease, mostly by (future) retail customers.

I am not sure whether we are arguing about semantics or merely just some amount of variation in regards to how we speculate about the manipulation going on or the possible impact of such purported manipulation.

There might be some BTC/market/price dynamics that we actually agree upon, and then there would be questions regarding how we might characterize those dynamics, and their effects on either the market or perceptions of the market.

Imo, it's a question of the viewpoint. We could call any buy/sell operation that ultimately has the goal to change market value, for the very own advantage, manipulation. Whereas (pure) market dynamics would be just mathematical outcome of the sum of all trading moves, over time.
Intention to impact the price, for whatever reason, would be clearly manipulation, from my point of view.

Shouldn't we already agree that there are going to be whale players who are going to want to manipulate bitcoin down as much as they can and for as long as they can, and they are going to use actual physical manipulations such as dumping coins, and if they can they are going to attempt to engage in dirty tactics such as fractional reserves and whatever they can to time their dumpenings and they are going to use information or misinformation campaigns in order to attempt to create negative impressions about bitcoin, but in the end, how far and for how long are they going to be able to be successful in keeping the BTC price down.

Not only for the purpose of keeping down, but to enrich themselves by triggering downtrends by hitting stop-loss-orders, breaking "support lines", to accumulate more coins at lower prices, to extend this dirty play, for whatever reason(s).
The projection would be: What if i am a whale and be evil, what would i do?

Quote
Those fucks tried and tried and tried to keep BTC prices below $500, but they lost control.  Same is true at other BTC price points, so what makes you believe that they are going to be any more successful this time?  Are they going to be able to get BTC prices to go below $3,122?  The odds seem quite highly against them, so who the fuck cares if they are able to drag out this particular correction for months and months and months, because in the end, they are going to have to give in and allow or chase BTC's price up.

I don't believe that they are going to be more successful, but at least successful. I was raised to be good, not to be evil, annoying, selfish or whatever Karma wouldn't like. That's why i condemn any of the opposite. You're right. In the long run it doesn't make a difference to bitcoin at all, but there are victims, and i don't like that.

Quote
I have no doubts that there are BIG ASS players who can keep BTC's price down further and for longer than reasonable or rational, but they are also ONLY likely to be able to achieve their objectives for so long, and that is likely what happened in late 2015 when they could no longer keep BTC's price down.  Same could happen this time.  If they can get BTC's price to go below $3,122 then there are going to be a lot of jaded folks, but what the fuck are HODLers like us going to do at those price points?  Hopefully we are buying rather than selling, but anyhow, let them manipulate and try to get the price to go down.  That is what we expect them to attempt to do, but BTC prices are still way the fuck higher than they were a few years ago, and that is surely not because whale manipulators wanted BTC's prices to be in these current $8k-ish territories.  If it was up to them, we would still be below $500. 

In contrast, i mostly believe that they drag down overall market sentiments, watch prices go down and use their liquidated Fiat to rebuy at lower prices, to milk off some money and level up their dirty game over time.

[...]

If you choose to mix your on-line and your personal life then that is a choice that you make, and surely you have discretion regarding how you want to do it.

Still there are opsec issues, and there are a decently large number of folks who prefer not to roll like that... and maybe sooner or later, these real life encounters are going to cause a decently large number of the encounters to become public faces in the bitcoin space, whether initially wanted to be the case or not.  

If you are willing to take chances that you might become a publicly known person in the space, then of course, you can do that and many people prefer NOT to have such a life, even though there are a lot of publicly known people in the bitcoin space, and they likely have decent lives and they may or may not have intended to go down such a road... Actually, there are people who started out having an online persona that later became public, and whether they are happy about it or not, frequently it will be harder to undo something like that than to do it.  

So all good and fun if several of you want to juggle with these chainsaws, and it is all fun and games until someone's eye gets poked out.

So, even though you have a preference to potentially go public or potentially screw up your opsec, stop trying to suggest that everyone should be making the same kinds of opsec decisions, because that is pure irresponsible to be suggesting such norms, when the world does not work like that, especially in a space in which there could be decently high risks to screwing up OPsec in unwitting ways and NOT properly personally assessing some of the negative consequences of either purposefully or accidentally creating Opsec holes.


But then again.... people have met me, but who of my team did they met with @JJG??  Tongue

Does it matter?  Are you attempting to suggest that there is more validity to coming out as either a public person or a quasi-public person? Are you trying to suggest that members or lesser if they choose to attempt to exercise meaningful Opsec?  

Get real, and again, it is a bit irritating if you are trying to suggest that your chosen level of Opsec (or lacking thereof, or choices to share your relative lack of opsec) is preferable, merely because you believe that you are getting value from it and other peeps that you met in real life that happen to be WO members are also perceiving themselves to getting value from these kinds of mixing the meat space engagement decisions.

Exactly! Some of us may be hoDLing a decent amount of coins and/or may not want to be identifiably labelled as hoDLers. No matter how strong our passphrases are, you can be absolutely certain that a $5 wrench in the right hands can unlock your wallets. And I sure wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of that wrench...



It's for the exact same reason that I would never publicly (IRL) show off my coin stash. Even wearing clothing implying that you HoDL BTC may one day be an extremely dangerous thing to do. And if you do it today, some bad guys may remember you... Imagine yourself going out wearing a "Just HoDL it!" T-shirt when 1 BTC = $1m... To me it's not bravery, not even arrogance, it's just plain stupidity.

Some relevant news: https://www.ccn.com/turkish-police-bust-bitcoin-extortionists-who-netted-3-54-million-from-victims/


Totally understandable.
Recently group of people were jailed in my country for home invasion on a crypto trader. They said to harm his wife and daughter (9 months old) if he doesn't give them access to his crypto exchange accounts. However, they acted and dressed like employees of a parcel delivery service and he let them in.
You guys, my wife and one of my children know that i'm in crypto. I wouldn't tell anybody, but i remind people of the opportunity to buy bitcoin and rarely even tell them that that's what i would do. I would never go out there and feel like a better person because i am hodling and act any like that. People doing that for their ego maybe even deserve the wrench, but that's beyond my "personal judgement boundaries".

Sorry, today i'm really exhausted and my english semantics module seems to be buggy.

Regardless of it's good or not, it's a matter of taste, it's lyric and therefore it's art.

Raja's submission is truly great

Thanks! Smiley


Hmmm, I'm not so sure what you're referring to. Have you looked at the details provided in my post? You may simply count the column number x row number of the image and then scroll down to that Column x Row details. You'll not only find little (text) details about the image, but also the .PNG and .PSD file URL to that particular image.

Hmm, something went wrong :/
idk why, maybe i fucked something up, but i was referring to a different entry.

Do you know why god created a devil or the sub-sistem?  So that your mindset goes out from the paradise. Do you know why it's not good to be in paradise? Because you don't evolve. Because you don't need to. So there is a negative force pushing you to think, to evolve and to find a solution. To get some experience before your consciousness evolves. We will reincarnate until we evolve enough to reach the next levels. So the president does not have to be picked from the god directly because there are sub-sistems created to manage  the lower areas.

Now read this: "heaven" and "hell" are nothing more than metaphoric synonyms for states of mind.
"heaven" for nirvana, enlightment and so on, while "hell" refers to suffering, misery, dystopia.
The original message of Jesus was distorted by the church, they just put in their own interpretations while translating the bible sources.
Over and over again.
Also, the name of god (JHW) was translated wrongly as "he, who is" (jehowa). Instead it was (jahwe) "all that is".
Otherwise, how could god be in all things, even inside us (#nohomo) and everywhere else?

Nietzsche (philosopher and writer) once came to the conclusion, that heaven and hell are not places we go to after death, but states of mind in a human life.
Take some sermons of Jesus, put them in contrast to this information and they finally start to make sense.

Is this blasphemy?
NO, in fact it's the opposite!

Short version: GET REAL  Grin
Religion is a good thing, once it's not used to control people.
Only buddhism, which is not a religion, comes close to that, and the original christian movement was very alike.

I could go on and on about this, but i don't have the time to convince you and all... Wink

Interesting fact: the expiration date on water bottles is for the bottle, not the water!

Which is about the same, as the thing is that the SUPPOSED degradation of the plastic could contaminate the water and you could not eat the water bottle even if it wasn't expired.

Two more cents:
In 3rd world countries people are using plastic bottles to decontaminate water from bacteria using UV (sun) light.

Yeah, whatever amount of toxicity impact the degradation of the bottle plastic has to the water, it is probably minimal and completely superseded by its advantages no matter how "expired" or "exposed to sunlight" the bottle is. DYOR though, as always.

I did. It's less toxicity than the unknown impact of chemicals that act like hormones in the human body, which wash out of the plastic bottles. BPA has effectively been banned, but there might be a clue to why sperm count and mobility in men as well as fertility in women are decreasing over the last centuries. Apart from the fact that everything you take in (the anti baby pill, antibiotics, painkillers etc.) ends up in the drinking water. (toilet -> sea -> clouds -> rain -> drinking water)

Every time we dip a bit stronger than usual, most of WO is scared shitless with their "reasonable" worst-case bullshit estimates. So disappointing, especially given the size and history of the thread. Roll Eyes
I see no panic around. Do you?
Right, and stuff like "no movement till 2024 halving" is a rational opinion or assessment after such a dip? It's fear and panic disguised as staying calm. Maybe I made the mistake of assuming that the average person here is smarter than a monkey?

I doubt that Alexander_Z is exactly reflective of the average WO member, if there is such a thing.  Opinions on the WO have always been all over the place, so it is strange that sometimes posters get all sentimental attempting to suggest that this thread has some kind of coherence in bitcoin bullishness, and every cycle seems that we have to fight certain characters of trolls that are not even the same ones over time... the troll from within, sometimes exists, too.

Long version:

counterweight: I hodl fearlessly.  Grin
And i'm not the only one, by far. I'd say mostly anyone wearing a xHxX hat is not scared shitless, at least all the legendary WO members.
Disappointment comes from expectations, Lauda. However, anyone can judge, but that doesn't mean anyone's judgement is correct.

$72xx, I wonder where we go next, to $6500 or $8000? I suppose wherever the whales want us to go.

Nah, i guess they're fed now for a while. When we see another big pump, we shouldn't be surprised by a dip a few days/weeks later.
Maybe it's just some institutional investors switching to CME/BAKKT, or still correction of the $14k peak, earlier this year. We're still a good amount over the lower low of $3k of Q2.
I'd say $8000, maybe followed by a pump & dump to $6-7k again, maybe not. As soon as we get over $10k all should be fine again for everyone (excluding the people that bought the top in 2017).

This is post #1:





The irony when we see some posts in this thread blaming the use of TA.

 Let it go man; that attitude will age you prematurely.  This thread has morphed into a community-based, semi-autonomous chat board - the initial post has historical value only.  There's only one rule in here and I can't, for the life of me, remember it.



I enjoy the casual banter, memes, etc., but I do think we should welcome TA. The anti-TA sentiment in here is getting a little overboard.

In the end, it's just opinions. Based on out-of-my-ass, TA, or twitter conspiracy theories. I saw many TA that played out well, also here in WO, i wouldn't take the current sentiment too serious. Everything turns around, sooner or later.
Plain old coolness might help the most, i guess.

I'm sure Mic is joking...

But...

Always keep several copies of your recovery seed in paper (or other non-digital) form, and not all in one physical place (e.g., if you have two houses, keep copies in both). Also, use a passphrase in addition to the seed, and never write it down, for plausible deniability and also in cases where someone finds your seed and recognizes what it is.

Another thing I want to stress is that TREZOR, Ledger, and any other h/w wallet that uses standard BIP protocols (almost all of them do), are all interchangeable. This means that you only need the seed (+ the passphrase, if you use one). There is absolutely no difference if you use a TREZOR, Ledger, or even a s/w wallet like Mycelium. Your coins are not "stored" inside these devices. They exist in a universe-sized, multidimensional mathematical construct, and you only have a map to find them. The map is you seed (+ the passphrase, if you use one). That's all you'll ever need to access them.

So, don't worry if you ever lose your TREZOR or Ledger. They are just containers of something you (should) already have.

I may add that keeing portions of the seed (wordlist) in several places makes sense, too.
If there's theft or robbery, they will only get away with a part of the seed.
Be sure to include detailed information in your testament.

I think obfuscating the seed by separating it into 2 or more places poses more risk than it mitigates no?  If you have a passphrase that's not written with the seed then it won't matter if the whole seed phrase is lost to theft assuming you have a backup or a wallet still running it.   I could see where giving the passphrase to a family member would make sense in the case of your passing while your seed or hw wallet could be found in your safe box.
I only say this because there's quite a few people who go to unnecessary lengths to hide their seed words by circling words in a book, keeping half here, half there, mixing the order and other silly ways of losing or forgetting how to put it back together properly.  Reckon it's probably one of the top 5 ways funds have been lost.


And that's why detailed informations about recovering the seed from fragments are important.
A passphrase won't work on non-digital versions of the seed, that's why i even considered fragmentation/obfuscation.
Also, if you have parts of the non-digital seed in various places, it's harder for people forcing you to hand over the seed wordlist.
Say, if you have to go to the notary to get you printed seed (or parts), for example.

Why do they have to make everything so damn difficult to service these days?  Maybe I'm just getting old and inflexible...



While I do resonate with your frustration here, it is not entirely their fault.  Just today I was revisiting a circuit I built almost 20 years ago.  Miniaturization was my primary design goal and then I had a fair bit of feature creep...serious density...let's just say it is NOT easy to work on.

All I'm saying is stop a minute and consider just what they are packing in there.

 That's a fair point.  I'm just gonna run it without the battery until I can find a replacement.  It seems that lithium ion batteries don't have a good shelf life though... ~5 years whether you use them or not.  Makes me wonder about those Telsa power walls.


Three things that kill LiIon Cells:

1. Having devices plugged in on mains all the time (Repeatedly charging between about 90 and 100%)
2. Storing them uncharged
3. Storing them fully charged

If you store them, charge to 50-70%, check once a year.
Always try to recharge between 10 and 30%, up to at least 90% capacity.
Fully uncharging and then fully charging them again is not good for their lifetime, in contrast to NiMH or NiCd Cells.
I prefer LiIon over LiPo whenever possible. Lithium-Polymer cells are real bitches to maintain.

 Thanks for the tips.  Thinking back, I probably never unplugged that laptop!


The problem is that manufacturers didn't ever support constant-on operation of laptops. Users should have option to disconnect internal batteries while plugged in.
Maybe some milspec models under $5k do this, but i rather revolve my $1k laptops every 2-4 years. I don't have many options to choose from, because bottom ventilation is a no-go for me. I used macbooks a lot because of that in the past, before OSX and hardware quality both went shitty.
It's what makes me replace my notebooks much too often. And they shouldn't have killed removable battery packs, just because that 3rd party battery problems. There were many post millenial models which ran on power supply with removed battery pack.

Elon seems kinda dumb to me about the truck. The reason why the design is so edgy, is that the tough steel plates can't be bent or somehow formed in any way.
Like hardened cars for diplomats, he could have hidden the edgy enforcement beneath a curvy layer of common sheet metal.
This would have made the thing look really good, like in your renderings.

90% are auto-staked for a year. I wouldn't get more into HEX than this.
So why not? Still, it's work, and my time is limited atm, so maybe i'll miss some % of the free coins.

No such thing as "free" when you are dealing with an expert scammer... Richard Hart is expert at scamming and has a history of it, so it seems unfortunate that some people buy into his nonsense and want to participate in it, even if it has decent pumpening potential based on how much Hart is able to hone his scamming skills and to attempt to incentivize the greed (even if subliminal) of others.

So, to sum it up...
A Yes or a No-no?

Unless someone present me with some compelling reason to get involved, I don't consider it worth my attention to follow whatever hype momentum that diptwat is attempting to create with his launch of an obvious scam coin.... Yeah, it is starting to be discussed, including in this thread.. thanks a lot... anywhoooo...  Please don't try to convince me. 

Yeah, I claimed my Bcash and sold them, and I separated my bgold from my bitcoin but I have not cashed those bgold out, yet and they have been depreciating in value... Anyhow, so far, except the two listed, I have not participated in any other forkenings, so called "freebies" or airdrops or whatever.... and, I don't plan on engaging myself in such supposed "freebies" unless merely by coincidence they just fall into my wallet or if there were some compelling (and relatively safe and easy) reason to do so.  Don't try to appeal to me with supposedly "free" money because I already feel like I have enough money with whatever I am doing and my overall aversion to entertaining the pumpenings of obvious scammers.

No worries, i don't want to convince anyone.
You make a stand against scammers, what would not be right about that?
I have no idea, but i value your opinion (same as the opinions of most other WOs).
Regarding BCH and BTG, i did the same and by that time i didn't even have a whole BTC, but selling BCH made it finally possible to hodl my first whole BTC  Cool
I sold too soon, asap to be precise, but i didn't feel bad because of that.

By the way, in regards to building wealth, I do suspect that there are a lot of young whipper snappers who have the means to profit way the fuck more quickly than I did when I was young.  I just don't believe that there were too many things that a young guy (such as my younger self in the 80s and 90s) could have profited so much and to invest in such small increments and with hardly any fees, such as bitcoin.    But, I also question whether my younger self would have been able to handle the whole information overload aspect of it, and figure out a way to dollar cost average and to end up getting rich.. even though it still could take a while.  I just am not sure if I could have handled it and not gotten tempted by the varying gambling opportunities, including the various shitcoins.. and just ways also to fuck up with trying to get rich too quickly in bitcoin, too.  So, I think that what I am saying, there are ways to get rich a lot quicker than I ended up doing because  of opportunities in bitcoin, but there are also opportunities to really screw it up by losing too much patience and trying to rush it and overinvesting, etc etc...

Definitely. I had my shot at trading in the very few months of BTC possession, and i failed in terms of BTC numbers, while i could hold the Fiat value of the most alts i got my hands on, but 2018 messed up the remaining positions.
atm i am holding a slowly decreasing 4% of my CC in three altcoins. Valued against BTC, but that's not the reason it's share is decreasing, but because i only buy/add BTC to my stronghodl "portfolio".

This is not new age. It's older than humanity. The new age are current religions. A few thousand years is almost nothing compared to infinity. Anyone here knows someone who died and came back?  The reason why majority of you don't know much about this is because it's almost all censored. It's keept in secret because if you don't know this you can play a better role in this reincarnation. Many books were burnt. Even today the internet is controled with too much desinformation. The flat earth is a good example of fake information to misslead the truth seekers and to put them all into one basket as some idiots and conspiracy theorists.

It still makes you sound like an idiot.
Yes but i know why. How many people do you know who died and are still alive today? I bet you don't know any of them. Who is an idiot? A person who knows or the person who blindly believes the news, tv, internet or censored books? Money controls everything. It's like a monopoly of the information you get. We are brainwashed to think that way.

Don't worry. I was there before. As soon as you touch ground again, you'll feel much better (hopefully). I guess you have seen "Bleep, the movie" on a high dose of hallucinogenics?

But that's not why i am even answering before putting you on ignore.
I am answering because i know somebody who died and was brought back by the paramedics, 20 minutes after a deadly heart attack. Luckily and against all odds, there were no consequences, no brain tissue damage BUT he insisted to have met his (dead) father, who asked him about his plans in life. No white light or whatsoever, sorry if there should have been one, according to the all-is-one religion.

An idiot is somebody who believes what he does or can not know.

What would really drive worldwide adoption?

Biometric scans and mobile devices, maybe?
This means everybody must have a smartphone or device that is able to process QR codes and do OCR (scan bitcoin addresses), which is additionally offering a retina-scan camera, fingerprint sensor, saliva-analyzer or similar, to make sure that only the owner of the device can access the private key, decrypt the seed, handle transactions (and so on).

As cool and clever BTC might be, as hard and risky it is to use for average joe. He wants to flick an rfid card, maybe enter a short pin code, but that's it. Everything more inconvenient will scare him off, and average jane even more. Simple interfaces using secure backend solutions.

Don't call me names, i'm just brainstorming.
Who wants to join?

Brainstorming has a simple rule: No criticism allowed.
Instead of "You can't do X, because Y..." it's "To achieve X, you need to realize Y first, (which is dependent on A,B,C...)"
It's strictly constructive.

Anybody in?

no look apart from that, you're starting with the assumptions that worldwide adoption is desirable and that bitcoin should be adapted to average people.

Yes, but not directly. As some kind of backend. Bitcoin can't be directly adapted to replace cash or debit cards. Not even Bitcoin, but more like some kind of a bridging solution. Like lightning is already addressing confirmation delays and scaling problems, just trying to bring it a little "further". Fiat and government controlled eCash can't be the only options to bring bitcoin to a wide acceptance.

So there's no "yes, and/if..." variant of your "no, look..." comment?

Might be a good topic for a new thread.., especially if you don't want the questions and answers to get lost in the mess...  and of course, sometimes brainstorming does involve criticisms... these here are the interwebs.. not necessarily always the safest of spaces, and does it really matter if people criticize from time to time?... you fucker.

  Shocked Shocked Shocked   Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy  Cheesy Cheesy

Always appreciate you opinion, but brainstorming is not about criticism at all. It's a process of contribution and exploring (inter)dependencies within complex systems.
However, how dare you believe i don't appreciate criticism? It's an expression of honesty, freedom of speech and integrity (at least).
Well, just to make it clear, debating and criticism is necessary. I never blamed anyone for criticism and i'll never try to.
Shutting up is much worse. Except you are realr0ach, then it's just fine as a default mode.

Still, brainstorming is, by definition, a little different to discussing.
The bottom line: If we want average joe to put his money into bitcoin, it has to be convenient and safe for him to do so.
If you think i don't understand "adoption" correctly in this regard, please correct me with your unique writing style (which i love, but gives me a hard time to interpret correctly what you mean, sometimes. Hard lessons for a non native speaker). #nohomo

Without circulation oxygen is not replaced in water so the fish will slowly suffocate.

Maybe at some point I am going to lose my patience about this topic?  I was attempting to give some benefit of the doubt, but the more that I think about it, it seems that the way that you are framing the whole matter is another thread rather than this thread.

There are already rules in this thread, which are pretty much wide open and criticism is allowed, so you are attempting participants in your discussion to agree to a more restrictive set of rule of politeness blah blah blah... Which seems almost that you want the powers of a moderated thread within this thread that is moderated by someone else (largely infofront in this case).

Hey JJG, i had a hell of a day today, read your comments on this several times to try to grasp it all.

I liked to hear opinions on my "what if..." kind of perspective, obviously in the wrong place? Turned out to be the wrong move, no need to go far beyond that, imo.
Don't go raving too much about it. I was just putting the wrong idea in the wrong place, stupidly, but this idea is not that important to me as well that i have to defend anything about it.
I would never be so bold to knowingly interrupt this thread (any thread) and assume it was correct to do so.

There is another in his telegram channel and it is much more actual:



And here is his last comment (week ago):
There we have a weekly ma200 for 4000. We can visit it. And that fits the picture above.
So, according to this traingle picture we will see something around 4K till next year.

I am starting to think that maybe, new ATH won't happen any time soon. (in the next 2 years) If this shit graph becomes real, you should target the halvening after this one. Not the next one in May/2020. BTC can always surprise us suddenly but I am starting to lose hope.

It would make sense too. The bigger the triangle, the longer we wait for the next run. 20k ATH triangle was a lot bigger than the 1k ATH triangle so the bowl should be wider...

Even when you consider how many fingers were burnt at the end of Q4/2017 and after, it should naturally take a while to gain the needed faith into this powerful asset again. Until then it's mostly bears going to the party.
But why is the support line not starting at the very bottom, this would make a visit to slightly below $5000 more likely, if my weak eyes are seeing this correctly?

Very sad to me how shit rises to the top, while hard working and passionate senior engineers get utterly abused and humiliated, by being forced to serve under managers that couldn't code "Hello World" in BASIC.

As I worked through the world of engineering and salaries I realized that there was a sort of ceiling as far as wages go. You could hit senior level and there was usually nothing above that.

Not being satisfied with just staying under that ceiling (high compared to most careers but a ceiling nonetheless) I went and got my Master's degree in IT management in order to step into that world where there is no ceiling (CEOs are at the top of that salary range and there is no limit there).

I hated the idea of being a manager. My master's degree was such a piece of cake compared to my Bachelor's in IT. I eventually discovered that you can get a significant bump to that ceiling by working overseas. The only limit there is how dangerous or shitty a location you're willing to go to but it tended to double or triple that ceiling. I was satisfied with that as an alternative to being management. Fortunately I was able to get out before becoming a manager. Even though, I guess now I am considered management level at Ocean Builders. Fortunately it does not feel like it yet.

Just managing an IT company or branch doesn't make an IT manager in my opinion. It's just a manager then.
Only a manager with a computer degree should be allowed to become a master at IT management. This would save a lot of trouble.
Most managers i dealt with in the IT were former salesmen.
It's also a difference if a manager is a slave to the stock holders or monetary goals of the company, or if he/she can truly act in a global, balanced and economic way.

The other thing: Seniors are very good at playing the role of the sane voice in project making and design phases. But who needs sane voices in a world of profit maximizing?

Almost everbody that dealt with bitcoin since 2017 has a distorted picture of development/history.
They see early adopters got rich "quickly", which means up to 9 years, not aware of the many times these early birds suffered from enourmous losses at several times in btc history, even the first miners being so faithful to "generate" some bytes with "no value" at all.
Now the newcomers dream of BTC to continue the parabolic rise, with McAfees viral one-million-by-2021 phantasy in the back of their mind. Get rich even quicker with no risk at all.
Sorry, this isn't they way it's going to play out, imo. It's like buying google or amazon shares and expecting them to go x10 in a year and x100 in two, because they did in the last n years.

Feel free to read my whole posting history, maybe to recognize i earned most of my merits in WO with posts not even remotely about bitcoin and write some mean shit about my life you don't grasp. Maybe you'll see that you possibly overvalue the "Meaning of Merit", that a community is a group of people, real humans with real problems, habits and emotions, just like you, and that you're a pimp in the wrong district.

By the way:
This week i was up for a visit to the bank. A bank of which i am not a customer of.
As i don't really want to keep my seeds and (future) paper wallets at home, i asked for the price of a safe and if the contents are insured an all.
Mr. bankster asked me about the value and physical size of the entities i plan to put in there, so i said it would be foldable paper and a handful of items of the size of a matchbox. When he asked me for the value, which determines price and insurance, i said it is volatile in value and it might be anything between x1 (by current btc price) and x100 or even more in the next 30-50 years. So Mr. bankster said he has to contact his boss, who is the local manager of the safe, who in turn should call me on the same afternoon for speaking about details and possibilities.
I never heard of them again, no call from either of the two.

Well, this leaves me with the impression that safes seem to be a pain in the ass for banks (or this bank only, idk).
I found it quite unfair to base the price to rent a safe on the value of the content. Insurance, yes, that didn't surprise me that much. Seems like they out the amount which was estimated the value of the safe contents for. I can't just pay only for the safe and insurance covers the value of all that's in it, in case of physical desctruction, theft and loss.

Trying to get useful service from a notary will be coming next. I'll keep you updated.
Bad luck, i cut my index finger today with a mitre saw, because of plain stupidity. I teared off the protection cover of the blade, because i damaged it with a piece of copper sheet that slipped and hit the lifting mechanics of the protector, so it became stuck. After the very next cut, when the blade was still rotating powerless, i made a stupid move and my index finger got hit by a few sawteeth. When the shock kicked in two minutes later, i had to sit down on the floor and almost had to vomit.
It's still slightly bleeding after hours and correct surgery, so my visit to the notary could take a little while and i'll cut down on typing for some days.

Never, ever, trust a bank "safe" deposit in the US, the banks raid them on the regular.

I'm in central europe, on the countryside. There are different measures over here, but you never know, right? Somehow i'm glad they didn't call, i might have got involved with their services.

No need for a safe. With Bitcoin, you are the bank! Just follow these simple steps:

1. Get a Trezor or Ledger.
2. Initialize it and write down the recovery seed.
3. Use an additional passphrase and keep it in your head (don't write it down).
4. Transfer your coins to that wallet (seed + passphrase).
5. Store the seed (but not the passphrase) in 3-4 separate places.
6. Done! Your coins are more secure than any vault in Zürich.

That's the beauty of Bitcoin. Being non-physical has its perks!
Now, try do this with gold or silver...


That's how i planned to do it originally, since i already have the ledger, but i wanted to keep it for active future use, with a small amount on it. A second one wouldn't be bad, i guess, but the main reason for keeping cold storage in a secured place is the "thug-with-a-hammer case", for example. If a family member gets kidnapped, i will have to get to the safe, for example, and i could call for professional help by asking an employee, without the bad guys knowing.
Just going through possible cases in my mind...

EDIT: Additionally, if i suddenly leave this life, i want my children and wife to take over the wallets. There will be trouble with the passphrase, i guess.

Thanks so far for your suggestions and opinions on the secure, inheritable seed storage topic.
It's a hell of effort for me to quote everybody's contribution i'm referring to here, so i round it up in this unilateral post, to avoid to totally mess it up.

I now consider storing one half of every seed in a place where i must have at least personal contact to a human to access the seedwords.
That means safe (yuck) or notary. Maybe both, half seedwords in the safe, passphrase at the notary for post mortem inheritance reasons or something like that.

JJG: I didn't tell the bank's employee anything about crypto, and i would i never do so. I just mentioned folded, single paper sheets and little items. I guess i will keep the ledger(s) at home for everyday use and to follow the two-level anti-thug advice of sacrificing a few % of my crypto (by mindrust, if i'm correct), which was also brilliant.

Somebody was curious about the country, it's Austria (the one without the kangaroos).

The finger is doing nice, at least no signs of infection and i can use it for typing again. This should end well, and i regard that as a warning by the universe, to follow safety standards with cutting tools. Even worse, i have a pair of kevlar gloves lying around. I should have used them. Once i rammed the base of my thumb into a sharp sheet metal edge, which got it cut half off, with a lot more blood, hospital, stitches and temporary nerve damage involved. Doctors did beautyful work, ten years later the scar is very light and thin.

Thanks for the love, practical tips and support so far #nohomo

I'm in read-only mode for the rest of the day or two, need to make a few wood/metal rings (jewellery) soon, which still needs quite some research and experimentation, and also craft another two of those bitcointalk anniversary ebony poker chips, using a different process.

Micro$oft end of support for Win7 eminent.

Handy to have internet in the shop for looking up specs, constants, formulas and whatnot.  No room or patience for 2 machines out there.

Antique CNC controller (Super-Tech EMC-XYZ-BX) has no drivers or config info for Linux, figured this out after 3 different distro installs.

Turns out, Mach3 parallel port driver absolutely will not work in a 64bit environment, figured this out after setting up a salvaged machine with win10 already on it.

Started to re-purpose another older box, kept hanging on install, several hours to track that down to a flaky CPU, have to do a win7 install first because this thing won't boot from USB, finally get that all worked out and...

now having to sidestep Micro$oft account creation and muzzle Cortana and turn off all the spylemetry (that they let you), so far it has been 3 days of walking in place and I don't even know if this is going to driver up its PCI-parallel card and work yet


and being reminded that I have to go through Linux dependency hell on all the rest of the boxen by Jan 14...

Ever tried virtualisation?
VMware did a pretty good job at running 32 bit OS like WinXP in a window, while passing through USB hardware from the host OS (win10 64bit).
So if mach3 is running on a decent USB-PPT interface, i'd check that too.
I have run my car's OBD stonage interface via USBCOM serial port-USB bridge controller under such configurations successfully.

Well worth a try, imo. And oracle's virtualbox should do it sufficiently, too (for free).

EDIT: I googled "usb parallel port mach 3" and judging by the first three results it shouldn't be much of a problem to get things running that way.

The problem is latency.

CNC needs really precise timing, like realtime kernel precise, which is why the parallel port is on the PCI bus, USB adapters are a recipe for disaster.  

I know you googled, but those hits are referring to purpose built USB input motion controllers that deal with timing internally.  This thing isn't worth converting to a new motion controller...though somehow it is worth days of my time...

Hmm, i see.
Perle adapters (parallel over ethernet) might be another option, but i never tried that, i just read somewhere that these are quite timing-accurate.
Having a quick look into "pci passthru", that means passing a pci device to a virtual machine guest OS, is only supported in VirtualBox Linux version and VMWare ESX (which replaces the host OS, win10x64 in this case, to allow device level passthru). If i am interpreting the information correctly, it's a windows license thing that passthru isnt supported in windoze. These stupid redmont fuckers :/

If you really hang to it, i'd get an old win32 micro-atx box or laptop with built-in PPT and no internet access, using an old KVM switch to save space and share one set of keyboard, mouse and monitor between the two computers. I used to work like this with three local servers and a workstation in development and it was quite convenient, also because i didn't have to stay in the noisy server room next door. Just drilled a hole for the cables through the wall.

Solution: switch to linux

I haven't worked on a a Mac since the mid 90's but afaik Macs are now on a Linux kernel so there should be a workaround

It's a Unix of some sort, but it's not linux.

Kinda.
<wiseass mode on>
It's a BSD port, the kernel is "XNU" (hence the marketing name OS X), mainly based on BSD and some journaling file system i don't recall by name atm.
Apple came up with this as a solution for the switch from motorola to intel cpu's, to keep the older hardware supported (until OSX 10.4) as well as emulate a runtime environment for their (old) native binary format. Can't recall its name as well, similar to "union" or something like that. They offered an emulator for this until 10.7 or .8  but as an optional install. Look up "Mach" and "Darwin" for more info on the net.
The Unix part was degraded from release to release, which is basically only the shell (terminal running BASH) and IOS (not iOS) nowadays, while apple was following most every unix standard, which was quite comfortable if you came from a unix background (as me) and got your hands on MacOS X. The last version i used was 10.8 or .9 and i was already missing a lot of unix support in it. However, it was quote comfortable (and dangerous) to open a terminal window, type "sudo su -" and hit enter to gain root on OSX, until "sudo" functionality was replaced, i think also in 10.9.
<wiseass mode off>

I really liked OSX, the stability, ease of use and all, as well as the unix powerhorse below the hood. They incrementally fucked that up, but when you come from  DOS/Unix background, this was the perfect desktop OS.

So one would guess Free BSD tools would work as they were back ported yes?

If you get them to compile, which is quite a mess.
Most of the GNU stuff is available as backport, however. You can try other source packages, but i can tell you that i didn't have much luck with that.

When Win7 becomes unusable

How about the KVM switch and the second PC? Have i missed your reply?
You could just switch over to the win10 box, have internet and all on it, while transferring files via ethernet to the win7 box.
Another way would be running the win7 box headless using a remote desktop client on the win10 to even spare the KVM switch.

I don't think it can get more painless than this. How's it doing currently?

Space is tight in that part of the shop, I already have to move things around for different operations, really don't want a second box out there.

I fear this is my solution for the time being...till I learn more and build up a whole new drive system

https://www.cnc4pc.com/uc100-usb-motion-controller.html

As an added side benefit, I think this will allow me to run 64 bit out there, Mach3's parallel port driver has never worked on 64 bit anything...

Its funny as I have not applied a m$ "Security patch" since SP1 was released (only added sp1 as its a dependency to later libraries) and run so few services that none of them have ever been effected with redmonds backdoors. i even had SMB disabled from day one except for when i had to use it and then only enabled it during that period. decades of watching M$ open backdoors disguised as bugs has taught me how to harden a winblows system to quite a degree. I finally was forced to win 7 for directx 11 (10.1 was hackable into xp) but there is no way I'll allow them to force 10 anywhere near me. Its better just to build an independent gaming system and use a switch box and isolate the network while using it.

Grab a copy of process hacker and rip 3/4 of all that shit out, and don't be surprised when you install a m4 update that it re-enables all those unrelated backdoors you had just closed.

And don't forget to disable all those telnet remote drivers M$ hides from you.

Is there something unnatural about not wishing to fiddle with a fetid orifice that has the sole purpose of squirting out chunks of dead and dying bacteria, fat, undigested food and dried blood?

If you find that erotic then more power to you. If I ever find Mr. Right we're going to have to restrict ourselves to bagpiping or Heavy Petting.

There's certainly a difference between phobia and avoidance or dislike.
When you're crying and begging for your life to not get your ass touched in an invasive way, it's certainly phobia.

Civilized colonoscopies are done with intravenous diazepam, inducing a dreamlike half sleep which allows you to watch the procedure on the monitor without any discomfort. You don't even feel the insertion.

The worst part is the day before, evacuating your colon with a gallon of disgusting fruit-flavored laxative/electrolyte solution and shitting increasingly lighter-colored liquids until it's clear.

F*ck that, i had to swallow 25g of mannitol (a sugar, used in some sugarfree chewing gums), dissolved in two litres of water.
No defined taste at all. But i suffer from fructose malabsorption and didn't know that back then, as well as i can't digest mannitol and sugar alcohols because of that.
The thing itself was acceptable as an experience, but the rest of the day was a nightmare because of the malabsoption effects.
And for the diazepam: I only do real drugs, and never intravenous Wink

No surprises, powerful music but the voice is too weak. This is just fine, but Chester was badass.
You can also hear how life weakend inside him via his voice when following the discography of LP.
First there was a lot of anger, which he gradually turned against himself, i guess.

Heh, the same for me.
Didn't even know his name or that he was part of LP before i stumbled over this remix on the depeche mode remix album.

$6500 is trying hard to hodl.

Already spent a few k's on btc this month and I feel like I am feeding a bottomless pit.

After going up and down like this it is possible that we are going to enter another consolidation zone and stay there for who knows how many months.

We have gone a full circle. Can't believe what I'm seeing.

It is goddamn 6500 boring price again, and now again.

Don't let politicians mislead you to fight each other, even if it's just "heavy debating".

If somebody is elected for POTUS because of hatespeech and FUD twitter postings, the nation has an educational problem.
See, over here in europe, we learned our lessons through hitler. The bad news is, that this kind of experience is dying with the generation that survived WW2, so we are likely to make all the same mistakes again.

Get him some sort of online backup plan. Or stick in even a slower HDD as mirrored backup thingy. (or set up a NAS in your place so he can use something like crashplan? not sure what's online these days. basically you're the cloud provider or something.)

 Thanks Dabs but my plan was to speed up his computer.  I was sick of the time it was taking to do anything when he asked me to "fix" something on it.  Cloud would really slow it down wouldn't it?  Internet speed is only 25mb/s here.





Maybe also disable the damn superfetch service (google) which makes a windoze pc become a memory swapping machine over time.
One of the greatest WinNT 5 misconceptions, already "tested" from WinME upwards.
I sped up most windoze boxes that were one to three years old considerably, just by disabling this stupid memory prefetch service bug (because it's NOT a feature, imo)

It's still prefetching unless you turn off:  HKEY_LOCALMACHINE > SYSTEM > CURRENT CONTROL SET > CONTROL > SESSION MANAGER > MEMORY MANAGEMENT > PREFETCH PARAMETERS > ENABLE PREFETCHER

How do I do that?
Explain it to me like I'm 10, that's my age when it comes to computers.

OK, here we go:

1. Open google in a browser.
2. type "how to disable superfetch" (omitting the quotes), followed by your windows version
3. hit enter
4. read the first few linked articles and follow the tutorial(s)
5. reboot Grin

NO, DON'T DELETE

There's also a service to stop from starting up with windows.
Just google up some tutorial, there are many.

I'm sure maskorpex just wanted to help him, but at that moment he didn't have time.

Looks to me like he gave all the info that was necessary, I just highlighted #2 and right clicked search and every link gave a step by step. What more can you want?

Having the keywords (also called tags) is the most important parts of finding something and that is what he gave you.He also went to the effort of telling you how to use those keywords.

I think you are not understanding this.

No, you don't understand, I didn't ask for directions to a manual, I asked how to do it.
If you ask me how to change tires, I guess you would be pretty irritated if I gave you a lesson on how to google "change tires" instead of just answering your question
If someone doesn't want to answer my question, then just don't answer.

My last words on this:

1. Did you ask how and i told you how i would do it.
2. Didn't you ask what to do, but anyway...
3. ...i replied to your "should i delete the key" with "NO... set it to zero" (which was the what).

Just for the record, the "Superfetch" service was renamed to "SysMain" in a Windows 10 recent update, so if you are using a fully up-to-date system, you need to disable the "SysMain" service - there is no service named "Superfetch" anymore.

After getting the lights on again, we had cold dishes (chopped) with white bread and patties and slices of sausage fried in the pan (meh).
Then my wife had the idea to fill a bowl with tortillas, mix them with the remaining chopped vegetables and cover it with cheeseflakes.
After a good 15 mins in the oven it came out deliciously and saved the evening Grin

I had a glass of tap water and a cappucchino as drinks.

Afterwards, we were watching "Fantastic Mr. Fox" (streaming on demand) with the kids.
I recommend this one to all of you, it's an oldfashioned stop motion movie starring a classy lineup of speakers.

It was the only Steven King Book I enjoyed the made for TV version was OK. I did like the movie Cat's Eye and The Shining though. I'm just not a fan of his writing style. But weirdly I quote a few things from Pet Cemetery like "sometimes deads better" and "You can't get there from here" so I guess I liked that move as well.

When that boy was spraying blood everywhere out of his shoulder after pennywise bit his arm right off, i couldn't take it longer as to the end of the scene.
The first version of the movie was way better, much more subtle but still gave me some mean horrors, back then. The novel is untouchable, imo. But the first movie honored it quite well in those days.

If so it looks like this shit is coming alot faster than we have been led to believe. That is if what he says is true, has this been independently verified? I'm not sure what a qbit is supposed to look like to begin with.

I also found it weird that the 2 minute vid he played spoke of the 3 states (as if the non state was one state and not an analog we just cannot measure) but he is only alke to test for the "ON" state or the "Not ON" state so I am not sure how this is used as I thought the "OFF" state had to be known?

I'm no expert but this is just a few questions that popped to mind.

I don't want to sound dismissive, but my intuition tells me that this French guy is all talk and no action. He hasn't showed anything remotely resembling an operational QC, even with just a few qubits. To me he came across as arrogant, boasting "I'm the boss" all around the talk, and dismissing Google and the rest of the QC leaders for using super-cooling because "they are used to it and that's all they know". Not the qualities I'd expect from a true inventor, scientist, pioneer.

I do hope he can do what he says, or, if not him, at least some others out there, for the benefit of all. But QC is no simple matter, and you can't just mill a quantum processor using a DIY CNC machine.

CCC is not arrogant at all. They're legends, so i wouldn't expect humbleness, though.
No offense, but i guess you have to have some hax0r background to really grasp this.

My fault, thanks for pointing me to it. I'm a bit tired every evening now, because of daytime activity with the kids.

Now my expectations on the current chart:
I see volatility is going down, momentum changed from downwards to sideways. I'm bullish in the long run, but i fear we might dip again before the halvening, because "whales" will likely exploit the rather bullish pre-halving sentiment, which i think is pretty all around now. As some other WOs already said, the next significant move should be a big one, but the direction is still unclear.

This is a good question. To be true, i am bearish atm (fully since 11/2019), until after the halvening. That's why i decided to prepare for $5-$6k zones around end of Q1/2020.
If the price breaks the upper boundary of the downtrend channel, within january respectively (around $8.2k), i'd likely change my sentiment and i would have to admit that i chose the wrong bet for April 1st. Which would be the same "mistake" like in the last Q4 game, just the other way round.

EDIT: Why?
Because i was wrong too many times in the last two years, just because i didn't wait for confirmation of various buy or sell signals.

I draw my own lines (see some pages behind), but this chart, which i haven't seen before, at least i'm not aware of, would match scenario B (over $8.2k) quite well.
In scenario A (sub $6k) the support line would just have to be skewed to the right a little. Everyone can see in these long term charts, if the ranges become so big, much movement is possible, while still fitting most short- and mid-term prognoses. Post-halvening bullery will come, it's a question of impact, more than a question of time, imho.

I am interested in your "edit" comment at the end bolded above.  Do you really believe that there is such a thing as "buy"/"sell" signals?  Wouldn't we be MOAR richie if we knew about such purported signals?  Surely, after the fact we know all kinds of fucking things about the existence of such 20/20 hindsight buy/sell signals, but I doubt that they are so damned clear while in the midst of the process that any of us are going to transition into MOAR richie rather than MOAR poor for our gambling upon such bullshit purported signals.    

Good luck with playing around with your purported "buy"/"sell" signals...., this time is different....  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes


Well, you should know me better now, JJG.
Lemme explain:
1. Of course there is nothing like those "signals", just "recommendations" or "hints" from "traders" for market moves based on TA and pattern analysis. Those are purely virtual.
2. I don't trade. I used these trading terms to label certain "points" in trending, where i consider the price to go up, down or change momentum/direction/steepness (however). I am using trader-language, that's visible and correct.
3. About my other, older post to which you responded: OF COURSE i don't guarantee any movements to happen, expectations are purely based on my personal judgement of market movements (see above).
This time i was mainly right, but i don't see myself as expert or advisor or whatever, just trying to learn about market dynamics and occasionally leave comments for probably getting non-destructive feedback.

I consider my comment to be responding to the substance of what you are saying, and they are not attacking you personally, but they are attacking the idea of knowing or predicting BTC price movements with any certainty.

I would not consider attacks upon ideas  even if the tone is fun, strong, confrontational, flippant or some other variation to be destructive, because these are comments in a public thread about ideas and anyone can respond to such ideas, if they so choose, or refrain from such comments.

Of course, if a comment is directed at me, I am more likely to notice it and to consider responding to it, including the fact that if a comment is directed at me, it is also directed at a topic that is more likely to be of interest to me.

By the way, I attack Hairy barey's  fractal pattern ideas a lot, even though I tend to agree with a lot of them, but I do become a bit hostile with both TA and with impressions that seem to overly assign probabilities to short term BTC price directions, whether I am wrong or not, I believe that it takes a quite a bit of analysis to attempt to predict short term BTC price directions, and even if you get a lot of it right, human beings have a certain amount of free will, and there might be some lurking in the behind the scenes merely to prove that the majority was wrong in their attempts to ascribe high probability to price direction UP, DOWN, Sideways or whatever other variant is attempted  to be predicted in the short to medium term.

Of course, short to medium term can be less expensive to control than longer term, and of course if BTC prices can be manipulated beyond parameters, long term trajectories, might end up getting affected by that, too... perhaps, perhaps?


I agree.
The crux of the interweb's textual communication is the interpretation variance (error rate), which is about 80%, according to studies.

That's not the problem, what's interesting is that the elected Iraqi assembly is passing resolutions to have the US leave and the US response is that the "people" don't want them to leave so they won't.

im sure your hematologist should be on top of this but blood thinners are very picky as to doses and such (dunno if youre on any but you mentioned thinning your blood). make sure your MD know ALL meds even OTC stuff you may not think of as drugs. im sure you know this but i have to say it anyway.

Getting old fucking sucks.

oh man. indeed it does.

Yep.... I am surely in agreement that we gotta try to keep bob as healthy as possible so that when he punches me in the face at the $1million party, it does not just feel like a mosquito bite.

The titanium plates likely help his strength.

By the way, the baby aspirins (once or twice a day - usually once a day) are supposed to have a blood thinning effect that is a fairly common preventative measure that is common practices, even getting into 40s and 50s... and is not as necessary to measure the ongoing levels of those aspirins as some of the other stronger blood thinning meds (such as coumadin or plavix or heparin... and I just looked it up there are a bunch of them.... )... though I suppose years and years of aspirin-taking could have some negative effects, even though sometimes difficult to measure whether impacting the liver or the blood vessel thinness or otherwise.

Hi!

Aspirin is a bad thing in case of brain stroke. The thinning of the blood make worse the hemorrhage.
So there are pro's and con's.

Hi!

I am surely NOT saying that there are not counter-indications for any drugs that people might take, including aspirin, and surely I would prefer to accomplish health matters in all natural preventative ways that do not involve much if any drugs, but surely the aspirin matter remains a very common asserted western practice.. and maybe for some conditions and like you implied the risks might outweigh the benefits.. and surely, sometimes we are not aware of the various counter-indications or at least able to watch to see if we personally might be experiencing negative aspects of any drug that we had chosen to take.

There are some alternatives to pharma blood thinners, Ginseng for example, plus some more i don't remember.
Ginseng helped with my tinnitus, too.

They said buying btc at the time would be dumb, because if you aren't an early adopter, it's just a ponzi.
Also, that if governments don't take measures against "this ponzi", they must be either holding OR they have no control over bitcoin.

Don't get me wrong, i would enjoy being simple minded like these two, but then i would also probably fomo all-in right before the next ATH (2022 probably?).
At that time, they might even ask me if i heard about bitcoin, and that i should sell my house to buy btc)

I never understood this ponzi argument, how can something with infrastructure built to support it be a ponzi? Ponzi's do not have assets let alone such easily verifiable ones at that.

Well, you can see (mostly) anything (mostly) the way you want. They see bitcoin it as ponzi, others see a car as mobile tent or as a loud, stinking animal with circular legs (got this from a 80s movie).
When you tell them it's an asset, they say "you can't physically hold it". When you say that a stock position can't be physically held too, they say "it's a small share of the companies fiat value". And so on. I maybe discuss with people that are interested in cryptocurrency, i never discuss with people who are not interested in it.

Enjoy it now, guy  Wink  it took me more than 15 minutes to remember the site he was using and a little more time to remember where to install it. I'm worried about my damn memory, I seem amnesiac  Roll Eyes

I can help.
Two quick tests:

Test 1:

1. Let a person/friend (A) write down ten random words, one per line, two syllables per word.
2. Let A read them out to you, with a pause of a second between each word.
3. Repeat all words you remember, let A mark them in a separate column.
4. A repeats step 2, but begins with the words you remembered (marked in step 3).
5. Repeat step 3.
6. Repeat step 4.
7. Repeat step 3.

So it's three times reading and marking in separate columns.
Which column has the highest number of marks? How many in the last column?

Test 2:
Let somebody (A) choose a number between 101 and 110. Then let A substract 3 about 20 times and write down the results (you don't see them) in a column, one number per line.
Like:
105
102
 99
 96
 93
 90
 87
 ...

... and so on.
Now you start from the chosen number and substract three, also up to twenty times.
Note down:
How hard did you do with that? (subjectively)
How long did it take?
Did you become faster/better or slower/worse?
How many errors you were aware of? (corrected after your first call)
How many errors you were not aware of?

The results of the two tests will give you an overview of your working memory performance.
Working memory handles the exchange of data between long- and short-time memory, as well as acting as a buffer for memory operations like calculating and processing visual or auditive "input" (observing, listening).

When your mind is just not trained well, play memory (the game) and/or write down some telephone calls you just had, as stories.

Repeat the two tests after a week. Test again using the two procedures i described above.
If you get better every week (3-5 weeks), fine. Good news, your mind is just not challenged enough. You also learned to self-help.
If you don't get better results over time, you need professional help. Your memory impairments should be tested in detail, for further action through a good doc or therapist.

I suffer from memory problems, some of them like you described, and i have undergone many different tests and i learned how to interpret the results over time.

EDIT: My opinion on all this: It wouldn't make sense to drop to $4k, where we were mid-2019. It will ultimately be lower (sub $3k) or higher ($5-6k), but in the "lower-case", this would mean a massive swap of held bitcoin into the hands of hodlers, which i suggest, is quite unlikely.

Shoot me down here if I’m wrong but these things are usually designed to suppress the price are they not?
They just allow shorting & not even physically backed bitcoin trading?

I have a feeling that we have to suck up things like this in order to achieve mass adoption.

There is a saying that's like "When you buy a dog, you have to welcome the fleas too".
I also see "BTC futures" like VB1001, but finally we'll have to swallow this side-effects.
Mass adoption could mainly cure this, i guess.

Shorting into a bull market is fine if you do it intermittently. We’re still in a baby bull market so when we get rejected at certain price intervals I’m sure you can make money shorting.

If you continue to short into a bull market then you’re going to end up REKT especially if you think you’re going to keep doing it as we approach & pass the halving when the price is likely to go parabolic.

Stay smart, don’t get REKT.

Note - I don’t actively trade any way. imo it’s for chancers & at times morons. Buy & HODL= the key to success.

For chancers and morons? well, I like to be one of them if it makes me earn money. The fact is that I have been trading already for 2 decades, and I can guarantee you that I made most of my profits trading instead of holding. Much more profitable after i shifted from traditional markets to crypto in 2011, because there is so high volatility (aka manipulation..)
Halvening will occur, market will rise, but not before another really BIG dump. By the way, I don't think BTC will never ever get close to last ATH.. then people wil start realizing money doesn't grow in trees.

You don't sound smart enough to have made a lot of money in bitcoin (you refer to it as "crypto", so right there shows your seeming lack of understanding) trading, especially if you have been betting down and asserting that bitcoin is never getting to another ATH...   You seem to NOT understand what the fuck is bitcoin.  But, hey, do what you gonna do and show us all how smartie panties you happen to be.   Wink  Teach us a lesson.   Tongue

I doubt that there is any need to give such a wannabe expert too much benefit of the doubt.  Yeah, of course, he could end up getting lucky and being correct, but so what?  That does not mean that he really knows anything or is making any kind of meaningful assessment, just because he says he is such a smart "shorter" and he barely has even participated in this thread in the past, so I doubt that he was "as correct" in the past as he is proclaiming to have been.

There are a lot more similarities with the 2018 and 2012 corrections, more so in recent weeks and months I'm finding, .......

Seems a bit absurd to be attempting to pull out ancient charts in order to prognosticate about bitcoin's current price performance dynamics likelihoods.

In some sense, 2012 is ancient history regarding who was in bitcoin and what the fuck bitcoin was in terms of its potential impacts on society and increasingly broader awareness and even theorizing about what bitcoin was and/or its potential (as well as limitations).

How many nerds knew about bitcoin in 2012?    A handful...   How much meaningful price performance history did bitcoin have in 2012?  2 years if you are lucky?  Yeah, right, bitcoin had been conceptualized since the 2008 white paper, and theorized in some ways before the 2008 white paper, and mined since 1/3/09, but still, not even any kind of monetary uses of bitcoin until about mid-2010 and very rudimentary attempts at exchanging it prior to 2012.. sure MTGOX existed and a few other ways to acquire bitcoin, but still, who the fuck was going to wire money to Japan.. a rare fucking nerd, indeed, no?

So fuck 2012 as any kind of meaningful price dynamics comparison point...     I am not asserting that bitcoin's price performance dynamics of 2012 are completely irrelevant, but we need to be attempting to give some weight to market maturity considerations .. and yeah, maybe in the end, patterns can be identified all the way back to the beginning in which BTC had a price, but we surely have to take some of those earlier patterns with a larger grain of salt in terms of whether they present our modern situation with meaningful comparison points regarding what is likely to happen and what is possible to happen in BTC's short and medium terms.. and even longer terms.

Observing a timespan of sveral years to a decade, wouldn't it be more practical to compare the BTC trends with survivors of the dotcom years?
I also see these similarities from 2012, 2014/15, 2018, 2019 when presented the right charts, with certain highlighted parameters (curves) BUT most of the time one-dimensional events ("dead crosses", mostly) are used to emphasize similarities. While if you look at additional data (curves) there are some clear differences as well.
In that manner, it really makes only doubtful sense to project past movements into future trending events.

Well, this is what is was waiting for.
Turned bullish a couple of days ago, shortly after i placed my bearish bet in the Dude's game.
You win some, you lose some  Grin

We had some relatively fast pumps in the last months, followed by corrections short time later, that led to an even lower price (considered "manipulation" by some), while the rise of the last two weeks followed a nice bottoming, and also it's less of a steepness compared to the more massive pumps of Q3/Q4 2019.
Now i'dlike to see continuation until the end of January and a slight increase of overall volume would be great, too.

What if we no more decline before or around halving, if the price rise is mainly "trading the halving"? Correction (or mini bear market) in Q3/Q4 2020?
Maybe also pre-heating of post-halving FOMO, when the corn may explode and McAfee finally saving his dingdong?

I am wrong some 80% of the time trying to make short-term trades (inc. buying BTC, price goes down immediately after I buy).  That same pattern has always been with me: casinos, put options on the S&P 500, buying gold, etc., bang!, they go down as soon as I buy.

Now I stay away from short-term & rigged games (inc. alt-coins).

Means i should buy some alts now, right?  Wink
Just joking.

The key is not to sell after the bang!.

Please, be honest guys. I could do with a good laugh.

OK, here is my good laugh:  Cheesy

No, srsly:

I sold my BCH asap, six days after the fork, IIRC.
So i would not even have had "free" BSV.

As a part of a small trade, to help someone (...) out with some satoshis, really peanuts to most of you - and as a sign of good will - i bought BSV up to 20% of my past BTC "trading stash", which was in the tenths regions, and sold them with a little gain, around 10-15% percent up, about two weeks later when the market wasn't as "trading-friendly" any more. I cut the total gain in half and sent one half off to the receivers wallet, one half was left at the exchange. Fun fact: I received about the same amount by theymos for my art piece later. If some of you believe in Karma...

That's it. I wouldn't buy BSV for hodling, never ever.

EDIT: another classic: My first BTC transaction, as a test, was hijacked by a trojan and - of course - lost.
0,01 at $3k price levels, but still... I was glad that it happened so early, learned a lot by that and it wasn't a really big loss (in fiat equivalent, back then).

Yeah I think desperation is settling in now but I genuinely think he has a mental health problem too. He might be a clown but I genuinely feel bad for people with those issues who go untreated.

And I think we will hold in this territory for a bit now, at least I hope; too much too soon is never good. The BSV pump is already coming down too so I think that might settle the market a bit as well. All in all I'd say things are looking good currently

I'm perfectly fine with slowly weakening resistance over days, which just emphasizes following possible pump(s).
Next weekend, maybe? Waiting for TA and SOMA posts, after the daylight hits the US area.

Given the crimes committed by soldiers who have ego driven out of them, I rather think not.
 

I would more describe this as a replacement (or shift) of ego values, not quite driven out ego.
Temporary eradication of ego is a side effect of LSD, sometimes (and deep meditation of course). It's hard to grasp unless it happens to you.
Conscious and unconscious thoughts replaced by something like constant, excited but peaceful wondering. Like babies look at the world, i could imagine.

EDIT: Also, an ex-heroin addict told me that this description matches the first time of heroin consumption. Still, i strongly advise against drug abuse! especially the harder opiate varieties. Check out Wim Hof (or was it Wim Hoff?) breathing to produce your own DMT via meditation instead.

Well, objectively, the price of both BCH and BSV are higher than BTC's was, just about 5 years ago, or around 2013-ish ... The problem is they might stick around at least another 5 years just because ... reasons.

That's an interesting comparison. What would the value of BCH/BSV be if they split off 2013? I'm sure the trends would have developed differently, if both forks even pretty much survived 2014/15. One thing is adoption rate, which would be better for BCH/SV if forked off earlier. Craig and Ver came a bit late, and the real value of the BTC is definitely BTC+BCH+BSV (+BTG and other offsprings), so they say, which is at least true for unclaimed coins mined before the chainsplit(s).
Some might also say Craig and Roger stole value from Bitcoin through the splitting, i guess?
I doubt they could take over, but will go along some time.

In other words, unless the forkenings of bitcoin are able to attain consensus for bitcoin network effects to move over to their chain, they are nothing but an altcoin, and should not be considered as anything more than an altcoin, even if they have bitcoin in their name and even if they are mooching off of bitcoin's transactional history.

I didn't quite understand the argumentation fully, too.
Bitcoin is bitcoin, in my opinion. A fork is maybe something like an act of freedom, if you want it to see that way, but if you split from your community, it would be dumb to say you're still part of the community.

Missed you both by a fucking second.

Now if we look closely, AlcoHoDL's Bitstamp screenshot is a few seconds earlier that ivomm's.
That's because ivomm edited the Vegeta post to add the Bitstamp screenshot after he posted the Vegeta.

I was thinking about that tbh. Whether I should do the same or not.
I'm not trying to say ivomm did something wrong, I'm just stating the facts, cos LFC asked for a clear picture.
For myself they are both winners.

Today we learned that Apple dropped its plans to end-to-end encrypt users' iCloud data backups.
I've been researching the issue of secure cloud backups recently; here are my recommendations.

How to Securely Back Up Data to Cloud Storage
https://blog.lopp.net/how-to-securely-back-up-data-to-cloud-storage/

For all your encryption needs, I highly recommend VeraCrypt. The continuation of the highly successful TrueCrypt project, it's free, open-source, and thoroughly tried and tested. The "open-source" part is especially important, and is considered a requirement for an encryption product that's worth your time and trust, as a closed-source product may have backdoors that no one can detect.

Need to store data on the cloud, but worried about others having access to it or the cloud server getting hacked? Simple! Just create an encrypted VeraCrypt container, put all your sensitive data in there, and then store the container file itself in the cloud. No one can access your files without the container passphrase, which only you will know.

Good to know, i loved TC.

Don't ask me what, but my SOMA analytics device tells me something is about to happen USDBTC-wise soon. Cryptotwitter getting overly bullish, the pre-halving expectations are high, it's just a question if the market will follow or some majority (in terms of relative volume) will successfully trade against this. bears are still lurking, waiting to strike, may them starve on all their fiat!

Indeed, but probably its all just a lie that didn't work out like how he wanted...

That was my second thought, because he initially wrote "corrupted wallet", "lost all of my bitcoin" which smells like bad publicity  or "fake facts", terms that should cause maximum rumor and drama.
It's easy to start a shitstorm, and if he clears up his "mistake" afterwards these "fake fact" narratives still remain in the heads of most readers.

Just had an idea about seasteads:
Would it be possible to adjust the floats to let a "basement", having the shape of a half sphere or bowl, made of transparent material, sink a few yards into the ocean?
So that the "ground level" of the living compartment is about at sea level, and you could watch what happens below in a 360° view from the "basement"...

One key to the spar design is that the less surface area at the surface the better. This is where the waves are crashing against your seastead. Ideally they would meet a thin pole, 1mm thick holding your house above it.

As it is, that would not support any structure so we have opted for a steel tube 1.6m wide. We could make it smaller but we want it to be easy for people to walk down a spiral staircase into the spar so they can reach the underwater room with views like this:





Yeah, like this, but all around sea view (if possible).
I was thinking of a floating pole, just anchored with a steel rope, maybe retractable, to keep the low end of the pole more steady. Still some things to think of, like movement compensation and tilting, because auf waves, tide, winds and so on. Physics...
The spiral staircase looks great! I can imagine hanging out there for a while on a daily basis  Cool

The flu, in comparison, if you calculate the median of infection vs. deaths estimations, kills every 700th infected person.

The virus seems not as deadly as others feared (flu,sars,mers), but mutating. So who knows?
I see 49 survived, 56 dead by about 2k reported infections. This seem tame numbers now, but with incubation time of 2 weeks, it could have spread over the whole world already.
Until march we should be able to judge the fatality of the virus.
No matter what, mankind will survive. But as dumb as we are, as societies, we should usually fail as big as possible. THAT is my main concern.

I'm no racist, but given what's happening and what BLB posted (live rat eating), I thing that China has got to do a thorough house clean-up and get their act together ASAP...

The outcome of over-controlled population. The worst in a human gets suppressed for ages, in critical times it breaks loose. This is just a symptom of a culture that was "normalized" too much.
Just saw a video on titter (pun intended) of two men who got the throat cut because they were from wuhan. Police and all surrounders wear masks. I saw it on the mobile, so i can't post a link.

As far as i remember, the panic level at SARS and MERS or Zika times were way lower than today. "Social" media also contributes to rising fear levels, obviously.

Bitcoin charts look promising again, quite some shorts liquidated according to titter's"whalealert". We have yet to see economical consequences of the china situation, factories shut down atm, etc...

With a decent bit of money you can build/buy a reasonably good cooling structured building.



Everything for miles around is blasted out of existence every day. Zapped by the sun and the heat.


No more wanky flu germs!


Still, carriers who have virus inside and transmit via mucous (saliva) are immune to radiation from the outside.
For cooling you can build underground, with pretty constant temperature and humidity. clay would be the goto material for covering the walls.
Electric cooling still has the flaw of growing bacteria, unless you cool with water. And what if the cooling becomes defective, what about power outages, what about food?
Living from canned food for weeks? f*ck that, man  Tongue

this level currently does have some impact on the way above because it's the 38.2% retracement from the ATH at $19666 (100%) down to 2018 AYL at $3122.3 (0%). it's the biggest picture if you zoom out and should have also the most importance.

what I try to say is that it needs a lot more power to get through this level and then it will become a support afterwards hopefully.

Reporter: So, when it would be ready, then (implying that he, like, downloaded a pdf file and expecting a "curing" app any minute, lol)?
Exec: it usually takes 10 years, but with some "acceleration" with the help of the government, it could be done in 4 years.

Based on H5N1 (which is really bad) it should take about 6 months tops.

I read that alcohol kills it, and temperatures above 57 degrees C.

Not corona viruses, afaik.
Best source i found on a quick search: https://thehill.com/changing-america/well-being/prevention-cures/480245-fda-tells-purell-that-its-products-cant-treat-or

High temperatures kill viruses, correct. But you need exposed viruses and for a longer time. UVC kills within seconds with a quartz lamp of 30w quoted power and a distance of a few centimeters. If a human could survive a raised core temperature of 60° celsius for an hour, this would be an easy cure. But that isn't the case.
The problem is, the virus is carried in a life supporting environment, the body, and spread by attaching to drops (mucosa) and skin particles outside.

EDIT: The tradeoff of using UVC on the human skin is that it does way more harm to viruses (and bacteria) in a short exposure time than to the human skin, but it's still dangerous. Not many lamps out there that suppress ozone generation, too. One has to research a lot about the safe usage of these lamps before he knows how to avoid endangering human health with them.

A low power directional uvc light source above any door in public areas, directed at the handle from above, would be a huge help in exposition prophylaxe. I saw these hanging over the counters of some fast food restaurants already. Hospitals and airports, all public builings could benefit from that but there's the human affinity to dumbness on the other side of the equation. Putting on masks and feeling safe...

You gots ur lil selfie a real problem, dude (using expression figuratively because I know that you are not "the dude") .

FWIW, Ganja has been a daily staple in my life for longer than I would like to admit. The extreme sickness I experienced in December (fully recovered BTW. Hematologist/Oncologist appt the other day shows me back at 100% with everything in their normal ranges) prompted me to quit entirely until the followup with my GP next week.

Yesterday marked 29 days since I quit all intake, and a home drug test still showed me testing positive for THC.

Will re-test in a couple weeks. It's a mind-over-matter thing for me to test clean before deciding to partake again. Pleasantly surprised that I did not experience a single withdrawal symptom, but I'll write that off as a bonus side-effect of the other meds I'm taking, as a mitigating factor.

So much for taking 28 days to clear out of your system.

28 days?
Scratch that.

It depends on your metabolism, method of testing and amount and duration of intake. I only experienced withdrawal symptoms after quitting/pausing weed when i was young and smoking it with tobacco. Life without weed wasn't any better nor any worse, but i just always really liked it and been a part-time stoner since age 16.
On topic: Expect up to eight weeks to "fully" clear out in the urine, which means levels of thc metabolites to fall under detection treshold.

I am continuing to think that once we get in the $17,500 to $23,000 range, we are not going to be hanging around in those territories for very long.. .yeah we could be there for  a couple of months.. but is kind of like bat country... in my ongoing thinkenings.

I have been thinking exactly the same.... Many people would like to unload their coins at this range and it will make them angry and fomo back in at higher prices, when they see BTC keep pumping.

It could be like a repeat to early 2017 when BTC reached 1k again.

The only thing, as JJG also stated some days ago, is: This time it's different.
Now the halving effect is well known and many want to jump the boat before anyone else does.
Imo it just needs a little confidence that the bears have actually given up (and now might be the time).
