There was a video on YouTube, where Gavin said in an interview that he doubt that CSW is Satoshi, that was quite after he got fooled by Faketoshi. I cant find that video anymore, but I watched it like 3-4 years ago.

The moderator could be anonymous, if he is chosen only by theymos and creates a fresh account only for the mod purposes.

I agree!
Who's going to moderate it?
I followed very closely the case with hodlonaut and the main attack is against his privacy. Mr.Wrong does not care about those tweets, he wants to humiliate and doxx every anonymous person who does not agree with his wild statements.
I can't wait to see what the judge will come up with on 8th of October. Basically she will have to decide whether Mr. Wrong is Satoshi or not.

When I started this thread I was wondering if there's an efficient way to store energy something like this solution here. In the video the big water tank stores the power of a one 1.5v AA battery, so there's a very low efficiency, but it shows the possibility to store power in alternative ways than the use of lithium (or other type of)  batteries.

You've got to be s***!  Cheesy
Somebody actually put a 200l barrel of water on the roof and let it flow to generate enough power for like what, 3 hours of using your smartphone? Unless you're owning a skyscraper and you somehow manage to put a hundred-ton reservoir on top of it I won't see how you would manage to store energy to last you a few days.

No, just no! You're better of going into the field and getting grass to feed a couple of dozen hamsters to power your grid than this.
I wonder how much this whole setup was worth in used lithium batteries, I have a feeling he overpaid 10x times.

but I also understand that this is not how capitalism works, which is why I am so thankful we don't have it here. Cheesy

I see another kind of bear on the horizon:

 

My idea here was not really to implement the system from the video, but to find alternative ways of storing power/energy than the standard batteries.

TheBeardedBaby, we were told on the news that Norway is the third largest exporter of gas, are you guys also suffering from this gas/oil shortage?  I would love to know the average power rate in Norway, I always thought it was supposed to be cheap, but I also understand that this is not how capitalism works, which is why I am so thankful we don't have it here. Cheesy

My friend, Norway has build the communism at it's greatest. It's one of the most social countries, no poor people (very low percentage), everyone are equal, basically no lower class and of course taxes are sky-high.

We do not suffer of the gas/oil shortage at all, thinking that we have enough oil for generations to come, but the prices are quite speculative. The government takes quite a big cut off the fuel market prices and they are the one to speculate with them.

With the electricity the situation is different. Norway is divided in different areas and electricity prices are different in each one. Most of the electricity is produced by the hydroelectric plants and the prices depend a lot of the weather. Most of the time, when the summer is shitty and rainy, the electricity bills are low. I've experienced a 0 bill for July this year so I cannot complain. But things are to change soon and the prices will rise no matter the weather. I wish the salaries could also follow but that will take a while for sure.

When I started this thread I was wondering if there's an efficient way to store energy something like this solution here. In the video the big water tank stores the power of a one 1.5v AA battery, so there's a very low efficiency, but it shows the possibility to store power in alternative ways than the use of lithium (or other type of)  batteries.

Back in the day I had a lot more free time to experiment and play with hydrogen cells, solar panels, wind turbines and off-grid projects, but after the kids came,I left this field (and many others as well) to focus on the family so I'm quite off the rail tracks of the latest inventions/approaches.

Yeah, have the same seed length as the actual bitcoin wallet will be a lot of fun later.
Imagine in 10-15 years people finding their seed phrases on their drives in the garage and creating 1000 threads like "i used to mine bitcoin back in 2020 and I found my seed but i cannot import it in my wallet", like they do now with the wallet.dat files from some shitcoins back form 2014 asking for help to import them in the bitcoin wallet. Lol.

Let's better keep the things as they are, if you need extra security for your account you stake an address, otherwise it's just a waste of theymos' time and energy, and there are more exiting things that could be implemented...

Four Hero, one Legendary five accounts!
If the investigation is true then there will be more two to three accounts. Safe to say all together five accounts. $60/w from each account $300/w. On average 25 posts per week. That's 125 posts. It seems better than a full time job. I am not saying it a bad idea but how it's possible? 😂

The forum is a cash cow LOL

It will be interesting to see if those accounts had any discussions together, owning so many accounts it's easy to create conversations between them and make those posts counts per week quite quickly. In addition it will be just another nail in the coffin of the "I have only one account" statement.

Hey guys, I have some questions/ideas I want to discuss here, because with those electricity prices nowadays things begin to be a bit hard.

Going off grid is almost impossible if you don't scale enough to afford it, and not always a easy solution.

But here is alternative.

Since the price of the electricity fluctuates a lot during the day/night (at least here in Norway), I was thinking about a small household/mining rig solution, a power storage which can be charged during the "cheap" hours and when the electricity price is hits the top then used the stored power to mine/powering the house. In addition you can add additional charging from solar/wind sources.

I think that will be the future.
Anyone knows about/have experience with such solutions like Tesla Powerwall?

Nowadays there are many smart house solutions which charge your electrical car based on the electricity prices, same with the dishwasher, the washing machine etc so I'm sure there is something like this out there.

A while ago, ProtonMail launched a recovery phrase, If you've enabled your recovery phrase, you'll be able to
Enter your 12-word phrases to reset your password  

https://proton.me/support/set-account-recovery-methods

why does BTT not use the same idea as I think that update based on BIP39 and the forum originally about Bitcoin, does developing such recovery method difficult or I miss something?

We stake an address and then sign message from that address if needed, it's basically the same but it's not automated and not mandatory.

Please someone should quote and verify for me.

There's no way to verify this, at least I didn't find one.
I tried the following >

Electrum
Trezor
brainwalletx.github.io
verifybitcoinmessage.com/
Kenkarlo
MyCelium

So I give up.

Thank you for letting me be a part of the campaign. It's always a pleasure to work together.
And big thanks to WasabiWallet for letting it happen, the wallet is tops so for sure they will succeed Smiley

As usual, I'll keep my sig a bit longer as a gratitude.

Good work OP! Perfect thread to fit to my merit source application Smiley

Just buy and HODL, best way to start! Perfect timing to enter.
It's on a discount price right now... of course NFA!!!
That's true but it's easy for you to say who knows what a bitcoin wallet is, how to download/verify/install a wallet and keep it secure. Beginners have to start by learning about wallets, keys, ... pretty much basic stuff before they begin to buy bitcoin. Smiley

Yes, but no. First you need to have a plan. What are you going to do with the bitcoin and many joint the party for the profit. I doubt the dude by asking he means where to find the source code of Bitcoin core to read it just because he is interested how Satoshi wrote it.

Many come to trade bitcoin just to make more and don't even know what blockchain is, they don't even have any trading experience at all. They don't care about weallets nor security, all they need is a exchange account and some anonymous Twitter/Youtube (now even Tiktok) "Guru" with hundrets of thousands of followers to tell them when to buy the dip (of the dip (of the dip ... (of the dip/))).

So instead of choosing the "looser's" way of chasing chimeras (or gambling) it's better to focus on the other plan. StackSatsHodling that's the smart way.

Reading about it how is done is the next step but first you need a plan.
155  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin art created by AI {gallery} ... and the satoshi portrait as well. on: September 08, 2022, 06:53:14 AM
Unfortunately, based on my experience in life, those who cheat they succeed in life. (look at all the politics for instance). Life isn't fair and many artists will suffer if they do not adopt the new technique in the future. If you create art for business, this will be the main tool to use, but the prices for the work done will be lower and the real artists will be affected because
- First, there not so much work do be done after a piece is generated for 1-2 min.
- Second, more and more "artists" emerge and will use the AI and just make the final touches in chasing the quick money. If you generate an artwork for 2 min. and use 1-2 hours to final touch it, for sure you can lower the price below the one the avarage artist which will use at least a week to do the same art piece and he will expect to get a good return for the time he has invested in his work.
The AI is great, but there will be consequences for some people.
156  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Lightning Network Observer on: August 31, 2022, 10:40:54 PM
my favorite Bitcoin explorer mempool has now integrated the lightning network. here you can now also get all details and infos about the lightning


https://mempool.space/lightning

I am really puzzled.
What does the map represent? How do they know where Lightning node are located?
Is that an educated guess? Based on which parameters?


If you click on any node on the map you'll see detailed info about the node. There's also an ip address which is enough to pinpoint the location. Wink

Simple question where do I start with Bitcoins?

Just buy and HODL, best way to start! Perfect timing to enter.

Maybe a stupid question but what steaks are you talking about?
We are referring to the upcoming change to “Proof of Steak” in the shitcoin known as Ethereum.

Beefy Vitalik would be proud of me for this nested references.


I was suspecting this but I wasn't sure, since you are quite good at cocking (rolling eyes to the pizza emoji) Wink
Speaking about Vitalik and the latest photo of him, I suggest they change the " Proof of Steak" to "Proof of Stick" or "Proof of Prick" intentionally avoiding the D word.

Thank you Smiley

Off topic: @TryNinja looking at your post history (last posts of the user) I noticed that you quoted a link of an image which is just ridiculously long line without a break.
It ruined the arrangement of the last posts, is there any solution for this issue?
