You're unwilling to accept what any person that understands anything about the climate has already accepted. Anthropogenic climate change is real. In simpler terms, the climate is changing because of human action.


It may be difficult to accept that humans can have such influence on the environment. But the truth is that our footprint is bigger than ourselves.


no one is refuting that humans have changed things. what is refuted is how carbon is related to temperature change.
carbon affects lung health
water affects land temperature

humans affected both.
but just because humans affected both does not mean the effects are linked.
water and carbon are separate and cause separate issues.

by the way you foolish man.
the climate agenda has been used as the reason why africa is starving and why unicef and red cross are involved. maybe you should look into the real reason.

research land grab and native displacement
africa have complained to the word bank about starvation due to foreign land owners.. not carbon
wake the hell up.

heres some docu's
p1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isiYYVmvn2U
p2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Igk5NHH-qJ0

the rain forest alliance is not the carbon alliance.
destroying rainforests by burning them affects the atmosphere by destroying the planets natural water sponge for evaporation. not the smoke

by the way. when u are cold in winter. rub carbon on your body. see if it helps.. it wont
if carbon was more of an effective heat control. house radiators. heaters and such would be carbon not water based
water absorbs heat better and faster.
water cycle has changed by more than 0.01% which has a more causality causation relation to temperature differation..

i honestly cannot believe you have been soo fooled into thinking that it is carbon as the reason why unicef is doing food aid in africa..
you are naive beyond belief
atleast watch the documentaries and do a bit of african history research over the last 70 years before trying to insta-reply with anything related to ur belief in carbon=starvation

extra hint. many people have told you plants LOVE CARBON . plants love SUNLIGHT

Of course the conqueror has to pay the price for keeping the conquered land, that means sending troops, feed them, risk them etc. The usual. Logic says Iraq has nothing to do with USA, they should leave and let Iran do whatever they want (of course it was the USA that demolished Iraq's forces in the first place, paving the way for the iranians).

if you learned anything from africa over the last 70 years you would know
foreign countries come in and take the land. displace the natives and then get other charities to feed/shelter them.

US military invade and take the land, sell it to other investors.. and worldbank/unicef/red cross then make millions from donations just to hand out cups of rice to the displaced

I had never heard about this ritual in my life Shocked

its just voodoo scam

the actual cases of actual child sacrifice is super low. and only done by the most desparate scam artists trying to con families. the majority of the ritual is just the threat of sacrifice to sway families into paying money instead of other ingrediants.

so dont think the ritual is some standard child sacrifice thing thats rampant in africa. its just a scam using threat of child sacrifice

BITCOIN IS ON BORROWED TIME !!!!    The writing is on the wall.  Bitcoin will be a HUGE target to be cracked by quantum computing.

The fact that someone is talking about this tells you this will be one of Quantum Computing first targets 😣😣😣😣

Hard Facts

bitcoin is not on borrowed time of someone cracking encryption. but someone having a more efficient brute forcing method
no one is going to waste a billion dollar machine to brute force a key of only $1m value.
and no quantum wont make it an instantaneous break of key. just an efficient bruteforce

relax just a little. what would take a billion years in binary might take many years in quantum. so its not a dont leave funds in a key for more than 2 minutes risk. its a just for pure luck chance. move keys once a year if your hoarding large value just to make bruteforcers see its not worth wasting a few years on a keypair

by the way. bitcoin value is not fixed to peoples lives. shops and employers are not demanded to use it.
its fiat that would be a target, simply because people are forced to use it they cant just change the parameters of fiat easily. meaning its a better target.

but thats if a nefarious user had a quantum computer and plenty of spare time. and didnt care about getting arrested for hacking/theft.

so cool down your fears. its not like those with quantum computers can hide their equipment under their bed

12166  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Entanglement for Quantum Computing chips achieved, will Bitcoin keep up? on: January 08, 2020, 01:11:21 AM
quantum is not some alternate universe theory or splitting atoms theory
its about taking a different measure that has not been measured/seen/used before.

for instance classical computers are binary. just 0 and 1.
to simplify quantum computers its 0123 which some are using the extra 2 options as a and/or of 0 1
others use it to make dna analysis easier as dna gtac has 4 options which a binary bit couldnt handle alone to identify as either  g or t or a or c. (binary would need 2 bits for same identity)

the other thing they are doing is instead of doing it based on electrons vibrating against each other. they are using photons. (beams of light instead of electric)

the whole sci-fi alternate universe crap is just to keep people confused so industry can get a few steps ahead of the game before it becomes common practice.

yes photons are faster then electrons.. its like the difference of fibre optics vs copper wire internet.
there is no illusion or magic occuring in quantum. its just changing what and how things are measured/analysed/stored/transferred

..
as for quantum computers risk to cryptography.
cryptographic puzzles based on pure binary logic. such as sha. are only 2x inferior to quantum. where as other forms such as elliptic curves which are more vector based and not so efficient in binary can be even more efficient in quantum

12169  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why We Think Craig Wright is Satoshi and Why That Matters on: January 07, 2020, 06:34:52 AM
Just one question. What happened to the bonded courier of the Tulip Trust with the keys of the loads of bitcoin as Craig claimed? What happened to his claimed doomsday of bitcoin?

in 2013 he told 3 businesses he moved coins into new shell companies and new trusts and used that as collateral for 3 companies to pay him some investment.
so not only scamming the ATO(aussi tax office) with tulip he then rescammed other businesses with the so called collateral migration.
(no coins actually moved though(hint: fake migration))


then it became common knowledge he didnt have keys to the 2009-10 stash so tried to reinvent documents that said he owned other coins from later dates to try keeping ATO and the companies at a arms distance.
that too fell flat due to people recognising some of the addresses as not being craigs as they belonged to others(mtgox for instance). now craig teamed up with ira. to make a frenemy (friends pretending to be enemies) debate over who owns this supposed collateral just to keep the supposed collateral 'locked up' so he can claim he has no access to it due to legal proceedings. ..
.. basically his poor excuse to avoid saying he aint got the coins and never had them. by continually saying he isnt allowed to touch them for numourous reasons..


the reasons big investors are trying to keep the deception under wraps and try to say craig is satoshi. because they want craig to generate more funds to pay back original investors just long enough so they can exit before it all comes crashing down
by the way bsv market price is pretty much break even mining cost. so he isnt really making profit to make new funds to repay old investors. so i presume he is opening up new investment firms and selling patents to make money(ponzi style)
12170  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Theory (requires criticism) - Bitcoin after free energy disclosure? on: January 07, 2020, 06:19:12 AM
People here say that energy can't be free, but I think it actually can happen, though I doubt it's very likely. Right now air is free because its supply is much higher than demand and its everywhere. Maybe in some super distant future same will happen to energy - scientists will be able to get energy from anti-matter or some other cool stuff so the supply of energy will just explode.

air is free because it doesnt need a expensive device or a o2 battery to contain it or use it.
electric however is not free.
batteries cost money to store it. solar panels cost money to gather it.
heck lets image a world where we are constantly bombarded with storm clouds of lighting zapping the surface constantly. even a long metal pole and wire costs money.

even equipments to gather electric from your silly antimatter scenario. cost money

what you dont realise is 'electric' itself is not asking for payment...but the cables to your house. the coal factories, the workers the coal miners, the transportation. those cost money. and those providing all that service to get electric to you is what your paying for. so technically 'electric' is already free. but the electric service and delivery is the payments you make. and that will never change

same concept as fruit
the fruit is free but your paying for the convenience of having it available at a local grocery store without the hassle of growing your own
12171  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Options Market Shows Halving Is Not Priced In: Skew on: January 07, 2020, 06:04:49 AM
i don't think that is something we can ever measure with a "study"!
it is a speculation that could only be made AFTER the halving and the price rises were done. and that means at least 6 months

wrong. right now we can study that if the halving happened right now the halving is not priced in.

ofcourse hashrate can decline and mining cost can decine whereby if the price was $7.8k in 6 months and the mining cost was $3.9k then that would mean when a halving happened at that time the miners are still breaking even and thus at that point the halving is 'priced in

ofcourse hashrate can remain stagnant and mining cost can stagnate whereby if the price was $7.8k in 6 months and the mining cost was same as now then that would mean when a halving happened at that time the miners are not breaking even and thus at that point the halving is not 'priced in'

ofcourse hashrate can remain stagnant and mining cost can stagnate whereby if the price was $13k in 6 months and the mining cost was same as now then that would mean when a halving happened at that time the miners are breaking even and thus at that point the halving is 'priced in'

but thats the future situation...

you specifically said its impossible to know if january 2020 has it priced in.. and only able to tell months after the halving looking back many months..
no. todays costs and todays price does not have the excess speculative profit that could manageably cope with a halving right now.

the price has to go up or mining costs have to go down.
its something that can be studied before the event.. not months after.

ofcourse we cannot predict the speculative price of 6 months time
ofcourse we cannot predict the hashrate amount of 6 months time
ofcourse we cannot predict the mining hardware of 6 months time
so we cannot predict if in 6 months time (just before halving) if its priced in

but january2020 situation can tell you that JANUARY 2020 numbers do not have excess buffer in the speculative price to cover a halving happening right now
12172  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Theory (requires criticism) - Bitcoin after free energy disclosure? on: January 07, 2020, 03:39:06 AM
even if a way could be made to make electric production free. there will always be a way someone will charge for it.
EG people can grow tomatoes in their garden. yet supermarkets charge $1, and they have demand

people can have sex with their wife. but prostitutions charge to service the married man

for electric. even if free some tax or set up cost or cabling inspection/insurance would develop where costs are still incurred

also as avikz says:
Mining can't be free even if electricity becomes free. Rather the hardware cost is likey to skyrocket because a lot of people will then become interested to start mining! It will increase the demand of mining hardware which will push the price of these already-costly equipments to another notch higher!

More people mining means, network difficulty will increase! More difficulty means, more update hardware requirement and more updated hardwar requirement will increase the initial set up investment of every wannabe miners!

Understand the chronology! It's a never ending cycle!

totally agree with this assessment..
.. screw it 10 merit
12173  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Options Market Shows Halving Is Not Priced In: Skew on: January 07, 2020, 03:33:47 AM
for bitcoin halving to be priced in the market price would need to be at double of mining cost.

obviously

this is because if hashrate continues at same level then with half as many coins awarded the value of the coins would need to double to cover the mining cost.

right now the cost of mining vs bitcoin price is not at a double

the most efficent mining cost is about $6500 and the market price is not that far above.
if the market price was say ~$13k+ then yes the halving would have been 'priced in' but that is not the case.

as the halving gets closer, a few possible things can happen
mining hardware cost/efficiency gets better(lower cost) to compensate
hashrate declines and those remaining get more slice of the reward pie to compensate
market price increases to compensate
12174  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why We Think Craig Wright is Satoshi and Why That Matters on: January 07, 2020, 03:24:26 AM
i read the article and even read the transcripts of some of the stuff linked.

craig did not have tax returns listed in 2008-2009 related to bitcoin which then came into question with the ATO... the ATO were interested in the 2013+ crap of craig creating shell companies and trusts with no collateral.

the transcripts funnily enough say that craig moved funds out of Dave kleiman and wright tulip trust and put coins into new trusts.. yet the satoshi stash has not moved.

craig later claims the tulip trust didnt contain satoshi stash(09-10) but a later stash of random coins(11-13)... but later coin analysts revealed the public keys craig claimed as his were actually coins of multiple people including mtgox

kind of funny really CSW says he has the 2009-2010 stash. years later 'i have a stash of 2011-2013 stash'... but even the new stash is proved not his... many laughs were made


so knowing craigs tulip trust did not hold the coins of 2009-2010. shows that craig didnt have access to the true satoshi stash..
thus not satoshi

and then faking ownership by listing publicly available public keys as his .. fraud basically. proves he is a fraudster.

the ATO still want their tax grants back. hense why craig is hiding in UK and not going to return to australia

you dont even know what socialism is..

here is a todler explanation

capitalism is where corporations control the government for the benefit of corporations enrichment
communism is where governments care more for the benefit of government enrichment
socialism is where democratic elected governments by people run the country for the benefit of the people


nazi was communist

america is capitalist/communist (you can tell by the lack of social care)
iran is communist/socialist
UK was socialist but now swaying more towards capitalist

as for iran and nuclear weapons.. its their country. if they want to protect themsevles they should. the only thing they shouldnt do is threaten other countries. by thi i mean distant lands.. not american politicians within iran who try to pretend they own iran

by america overstepping their boundaries its america that are in the wrong in this case
america is the nazis' trying to take over other countries and convert people to american ways

iran just dont want the yanks being the puppet masters. iran is not threatening america. they just want the yanks out of iran.

it america that want to be a superpower by invading other countries and weaken the inhabitants

USA have so Strong Military power together with NATO that im sure they can crush the whole Middle east in one day...


So why the Middle east Even try to fight against USA and NATO??
They Can't see that USA and NATO have a lot Military power and influence Around the world?




the recent iran stuff is not iran fighting the physical land/country USA.. its iran wanting US troops and delegates out of iran. iran has not threatened USA(country). they just want the embassies and corporate CEO's that are american to stop taking over iran.

things are also beginning to heat up in iraq too where it seems US people in iraq are over stepping their boundaries too.

...
the reason to fight stems far far back even back to the ottoman empire 100 years ago when uk/us invaded the middle east and the middle east have been holding a grudge ever since.
(on a light analogy with america beginning to hate mexicans for invading usa and taking all the jobs)

sometimes the oppressed become depressed, no longer impressed. so express how their repressed. but western press will suppress and redress how the US should pressure the unimpressed
12178  Other / Politics & Society / Re: what could possibly push one to use his or her child for money ritual? on: January 05, 2020, 11:28:32 PM
OP, could you explain what the heck money ritual is? I've never heard about this thing and I'm not very familiar with African culture. From your post, it looks like really strange and hardly undrrstandable thing for me...

money ritual is about voodoo magic ritual where the end result meant to promise a person will get rich. where in some cases the ingrediant required for the spell is a blood sacrifice of an animal or child.

the reality is not as just described as most of the time a chicken is sacrificed or just a few drops of blood are used by naive people doing it themselves. only the crazy go full murder ritualistic

the goal/ploy of it originates as a scam performed by voodoo witches getting paid to perform fake spells using threats of sacrifice or bad luck if they dont pay

a more tame version of the scam is scientology where followers meant to buy books and follow demands for a promise of life enrichment. purely to make scientologist elitists rich
12179  Other / Off-topic / Re: Third Party Encrypted Handshake? on: January 05, 2020, 10:17:21 PM
Whichever way, it is possible. But would it lead to a secure online wallet?

in theory yes. in practice .. well depends

it depends on how the individual keys are brought together.
for instance if binance creates 3 keys and hands them out then binance could still keep all 3 keys

another risk is the script could end up being just a 2-3 multisig, not 3-3 which a naive user doesnt realise meaning although each person independantly supplied a key. the script creator fixes it so only 2 of the 3 are needed meaning 2 parties can collude to mess with the third user.

there are things like LN that run on 2of 2 multisigs and there are still ways to mess with a counterparty.
such as refusing to sign unless counterpart agrees that one party gets more out than deserved. forcing people to sign just to get something rather than nothing.

other risks are if an app is involved in the multisig communication. where the app might be tweaked to fake its results or just auto-pilot signing transactions.

in short there are many other risks and strategies to consider. so nothing is truly fool proof
12180  Other / Off-topic / Re: Amazon Startup series non-sense on: January 05, 2020, 09:22:58 PM
I guessed so. After the ending of Mr Robot (and Silicon Valley and Halt & Catch Fire), I wanted to find some other tv show about computer science. I do better watch other things then.

Thanks!

yep best to find something else
and to save you another search.. a movie called 'crypto' is just a few splashings of the buzzwords 'mining' & 'bitcoin'.. but too isnt really computer sciency. its more SEC investigating money laundering of a russian mafia that end up holding people hostage for blackmail.

and if you are keen on 'computer science stuff' if you find a show talking about quantum being described as some alternate universe thing. then its bull crap and they have no clue. so not a good reference to learn from
