Awesome show!  That was a great way to engage the audience. (I did very poorly however)

I have only one complaint: the bitcoin/bear tee-shirt the very likable host was wearing.  As long as it can be done safely, can you burn that in the next episode? (I'm referring to the shirt)

Cannabis compounds prevented Covid infection in a lab study
The 2 compounds commonly found in hemp -- called cannabigerolic acid, or CBGA, and cannabidiolic acid, or CBDA -- were identified during a chemical screening effort as having potential to combat coronavirus, researchers from Oregon State University said.

$80,000 in 2025? You're joking, right? Bitcoin will never make it close to $80,000.

If you got $1 every time you wrote the word "never" on this forum, you would already be a millionaire.

 I suspect he might actually have a bitcoin for every time he's said "never" on this forum.

1389  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Free electricity on: January 16, 2022, 03:55:02 PM
Solar and wind are ways to acquire free electricity, honestly if I were to mine coins for a living I'd consider building either one of these two, it will pays on the long run compare to paying for grid power

 It would likely be more advantageous to forget about mining altogether and just use the money you would have spent on the solar and wind installation to purchase bitcoin directly.  Then you can do something else for a living.  The margins in bitcoin mining are very slim and solar and wind generated power are not free even by the most liberal definition.

Tested positive for Covid.

I'm double jabbed with the vaccine (recently) and caught it off a triple jabbed person. All Pfizer jabs I believe. I don't think these jabs stop much of the spread.

Felt pretty lousy all day. Pretty much like a flu I guess, but I never had much of that ever in the past, maybe once or twice so it's noticeable for sure when this happens.
Thought I was going to be sick in the morning but was alright after light breakfast and Ibuprofen to clear the headache a bit and could carry on sleeping.

Feeling cold - hot - sweating type of sleep but apparently I was snoring my head off eventually.

Slept 15 hours in total and felt somewhat better in the afternoon.


Will see how it goes I guess. Will have another long sleep tonight.

Any techies here want to move to Arkansas?  Grin

Arkansas is offering remote tech workers $10,000 in bitcoin to move to there
https://www.cnbc.com/2022/01/14/arkansas-offers-remote-tech-workers-10000-in-bitcoin-to-live-there.html

They could drive a dump truck full of money up to my house and I would not move to AR.

They headed down south and they're still running today
Singin' go on take the money and run
Go on take the money and run

1/2,783,947

 which indicates they should solve about one block every month.

Every 32 hours actually (2,783,947 / 3600 / 24).

However their hashrate was much lower (like an order of magnitude lower) before the recent two blocks so it seems that fillippone had a point here:

Funnily enough I thought miners being the most rational agents, not easily fooled.

Not particularly rational if they start solo mining after someone else won a solo block.

 Isn't that days when you divide by the number of seconds per hour 3600 and then the number of hours per day 24?

edit: It is 32 days which is, as I was saying, about a month.  With their current hashrate, the CK pool should make about 0.19 BTC per day on average.
1393  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: January 13, 2022, 10:29:03 PM
I used to mine and the most important formula for me in determining whether I could be profitable or not was:

 [216-1]/[248D] which (since we're working with such large numbers) you can boil down to

 1/232D

where D is the current difficulty 24371874614345 (you can find it here: https://chainquery.com/bitcoin-cli/getdifficulty).

 That formula gives you the probability of any computed hash leading to a valid block.

 1/104,676,404,410,824,387,461,120

 So for a single 110TH miner the probabilty of a block in one second is

 1/951,603,676

  Solo pools don't share the reward among all the miners but they still pool their resources to work on the same block.  In this case, only the miner who finds it gets the reward but the combined hashrate of all participants would be used.

 CK solo pool (https://solo.ckpool.org/pool/) has about 2000 users with about 13,000 devices and shows a hashrate of 37.6 PH/s so the probability of a valid block in one second is

 1/2,783,947

 which indicates they should solve about one block every month.

 Of course, the hashrate fluctuates as users come and go and difficulty changes ~every 2 weeks but finding 2 blocks in a month with their current hashrate is pretty lucky.  However, if you look back at their previous history, they have been rather unlucky; finding only 4 blocks in all of 2020 and only 2 in 2019.  You can't cheat at hashing bitcoin - it all comes out in the wash.  It's normal distribution but very exciting for CK I'm sure.
1394  Other / Off-topic / Re: [WO/Hat-Gang Only - MODERATED] The fucking COVID vax thread (No hat? Fuck off!) on: January 13, 2022, 08:55:07 PM
In the chart, the number of vaxxed hospitalized Covid patients (278,212 - 47%) was roughly equal to the number of unvaxxed hospitalized Covid patients (257,357 - 43%). But the vaxxed had 70% of the total # of patient deaths, 1779 out of 2,542 that died).

Shouldn't the vaxxed have far less deaths than the unvaxxed, not the other way around?

The chart says "positive tests", not hospitalizations.

 If the percentage of vaccinated folk are quite high, then those numbers seem to indicate that you are more likely to get infected with the Delta variant of covid if you have not been vaccinated but less likely to die from it.

…..

That's what happened to the lucky miner who got 6.25 BTC so soon. It was pure luck. The probability of you and me getting this lucky is practically zero, as was his.

Few understand this.
Yup.
Hence mining pools.

Fun fact…
I used to solo mine a shitcoin that could only be solo mined, no pools.
I did okay. Usually found about 5 blocks a day on average (about 2$ worth)with a 750ti.
Traded em all for bitcoin at end of every month. Fun stuff and kept me amused…

You suck!!!!!!

Guys, can we get back to the actually proven science and math of bitcoin's failure and its confirmed dismal price future?

 There's hopium for you yet!





Better a green dildo hopium up his ass!  Grin

 Even I can't be that nasty!  This is as bad as I can get and still live with myself - 50 shades of green  Smiley

 

Why not change the color of the syringe, and what self-respecting llama is not going to take his correction injection in the behind? 

No need to even appear to enter any orifice.


 I can see right through your little ploy Mr Gee!
 Homer, why not make it green?  Oh! ...and what self respecting person wouldn't want their injection in the buttocks?  It's the biggest muscle in the body!  It's just a pin cushion for pushin'!
 Then one day when I've put a little too much sparkling water in my regular water you're going to be like... "Hey homer, that syringe isn't very realistic-looking.  The tip is a little to small.  Maybe it should be a little more... I don't know... bulbous?"
 All right.  I'll play your little game Mr. JJG as long as you realize I only have 120x80 pixels to play with before our little alpaca friend is no longer an avatar.

Stephen Nolan should be in support of food calorie intake mandates to prevent hospitalisations from obesity, right?, right?!

Dammit man you've turned into a crazy lie generating machine. A new post = a new lie: https://www.newsletter.co.uk/lifestyle/new-stephen-nolan-weight-loss-photos-are-absolutely-amazing-bbc-broadcaster-celebrates-piggyback-out-studio-640269

And Djoko is a fucking egocentric narcissistic antivaxxer prick. He claimed he had some "condition" preventing him from vaccinating. Big lie! He just had covid in December thats it. Why should he be allowed to compete? Is he special?  Cool

  Everything else aside, I would consider the top tennis player in the world to be special.  We should probably save his seed along with all those other seeds at that vault up in the Arctic.

kidding aside...say, if someone goes there and plants a flag, is it then 'theirs' or is the whole space 'stuff' unclaimable/belongs to everybody?

Found the provisional answer: "Most notably, the Outer Space Treaty prohibits governments from claiming sovereignty over space or for any celestial body. '' Therefore, no nation can give its citizens or any other nation exclusive use of any territory."

That said, possession is 9/10 of the law, isn't it?
It will belong to beltalowda (see the "Expanse" for meaning).

 Just based on a quick search, it seems as though you can't own an asteroid but if you mine something from it, it belongs to you.
