Your response is typical trolling - a mass extinction would be a far higher proportion of fatalities in which case most people would simply stop using forums.

You asked this question:

"Can we please have a sensible discussion of this issue and any solutions to identifying UID's that fall silent during this period and are potentially hacked/brought back to life later?"

Why would you want to catalog these UIDs that "fall silent" during this period? Why wouldn't we approach the issue as we already do?

He is suggesting the amount of inactive accounts will go up 2 or 3 or 5 fold.

Currently I have all the hash boards running between 8.5v to 8.8v with frequencies of 725M to 762M - and then the individual chip frequencies adjusted for ones that could not keep up with the board level frequency setting...

some times settings don't take on awesome miner.  are you posting on his thread and asking him and others about it?

Op  is pretty clue less as to what will happen with btc.

The billionaire club has about 2100 people

2100 x 1,000,000,000 =  2,100,000,000,000  that is 2 trillion dollars but the average billionaire is worth about 7 not 1  so  14,000,000,000,000 in the hands of 2100 people.

WHAT happened was a worldwide disaster.  Those super rich people shifted and moved wealth all over the last 20 days.

They now sit back not fearing all their money is at risk what do they do with money they turned into the safety of cash.  They look for places to move the money.

and BTC looks really good compare to shares of stock in

the hotel business
the oil business
the airline business

all those companies are looking at 6 to 9 terrible months of profit.

yeah  the ventilator builders looking good. but not too much stock available as the companies are not huge.

Hmm what about bitcoin  lets see  don't need a lot of workers.  can mine in an empty warehouse .  maybe  it is safe place to put in some coin.

as I type back over 6200.  10 k coming soon as people realize it is an industry that  : can  self isolate baby.

Look for a  huge monster god like amazing POW coin rally for the next 4 to 6 months.  Funds will shift to   btc and other mineable coins bigly and the op will look like he was a fuddy
duddy troll.

All time high by dec 1!!
14544  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: It is 2020 time for a new diff thread. on: March 19, 2020, 07:44:42 PM
Yep  and there are a lot of big money asians. Past the corona-v issue and trying to figure where to park their money.

Hey If I had stock in Disney, Hilton , Princess Cruise lines.  I would move it out and park it somewhere  as all those types of industries well get hit hard with worldwide curfews.

Air line stocks would be on my hit list.   So a BTC resting spot along with a cash resting spot make sense.  Or a lot  more sense then those stocks mentioned.

Logically BTC looks very good right now.  We will see a nice Diff drop in 3 days.  I hope to see coins rebound nicely as all those service companies scramble about for the next two months.

ltc  diff has moved from 6.36 to 5.15 to  4.86  this is a 23% drop in total.

btc diff is set to drop 12-13% price is 6200.
14545  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: It is 2020 time for a new diff thread. on: March 19, 2020, 06:17:52 PM
Some bounce back in price.


BTC is now 6200
BCH is now  223

Diff is still -12%

I think the smart investor is asking " do I want 1 million in princess cruise line stock or do I want 1 million in BTC?"

There are a lot of billionaires I think 1200 of them world wide.

Edit 2100 if wiki is correct.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_World%27s_Billionaires

If you are one of them cool.

But most of us are not.
If I was giving advice to any of them I would ask the question I bolded.

It is rhetorical question  As there are a lot of companies I don't want stock in.Not just Princess cruises.

I smell a btc rise coming.

Nicehash is red hot right now and they may be switching you around a lot.

Which can screw up a miner.

you could try to set a level in the password so you dont switch as much.

but going to viabtc and setting to pps+ is a better way to see if you have an issue.

as nicehash could have a problem due to a hot bs coin.

you may have a voltage sag issue if you have a lot of xxx and oooo.

the voltage needs to be high enough for an apw3+ like 205 to 240 is better then 190 to 210
14548  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Have my S9 miners been hacked? on: March 19, 2020, 02:33:59 AM
don't mine at nicehash.

try viabtc  and see if it works better.

14550  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is a 'two-phased' product, which makes it ponzi/pyramid-like on: March 19, 2020, 12:52:30 AM
How can you tell if you are the holder of a legitimate market product or a ponzi/pyramid-like product? It's simple. The life cycle of a legitimate market product has three phases. The creation phase, the circulation phase, and the utilization or liquidation phase. The life cycle of a ponzi/pyramid-like product has only two phases. The creation phase and the circulation phase. Let's start with the legitimate products.

Suppose that you bought an iPhone because you think it is cheap and you can sell it for a higher price in the future. That's the circulation phase of the iPhone. Once you sell it to someone, and that person starts to actually use it for its purpose(calls, texting...), iPhone is in utilization phase. Here we need to mention, that it is this phase where the value of the iPhone actually comes from. Meaning, the utilization of a product is the value of the product. When Apple was producing this product that was its creation phase. So the concept of phases in the life cycle of a product is pretty straightforward.

Market products such as dollars or bonds also have three phases. It is just that instead of utilization phase, they have the liquidation phase. Given that both dollar and bonds are debt based products, they operate similarly in the phases, the only difference being that dollar issuers(banks and borrowers) borrow and return goods and services from the public, while bond issuers borrow and return money. When corporations issue bonds and banks new units of dollars via loans, this is the creation phase of these products. Once they are created, the products enter the circulation phase. At the beginning of this phase, the corporations borrow money, while borrowers borrow goods and services from the public. Finally, the liquidation phase occurs when the corporations return money to the bondholders by paying principle, and when the borrowers return goods and services to dollar holders by making the loan payments. Namely, prior to loan payments, borrowers obviously had to give (trade) goods and services to dollar holders in order to get funds for these repayments. This is how the last dollar holders receive goods and services from the borrowers prior to liquidation. After the dollars are liquidated, that is, withdrawn from circulation they are again put into circulation with new loans. With loan repayments they are again liquidated and so on. So, dollars are in constant cycles of creation(loans), circulation(means of exchange) and liquidation (loan repayments). Hence, the three phases. And the same as with iPhone or bonds it is the third phase where the value of this product actually comes from, since liquidation is where the last dollar holders receive goods and services.

Now that we know the phases in the life cycle of legitimate market products, we can examine the illegitimate products. Let's say that you bought membership in a ponzi scheme. This is the circulation phase of that product. The creation phase was obviously when the scheme organizers issued this product. But, unlike in the above cases, these issuers never liquidate this product to pay value to its holders, nor it is utilizable like iPhone. Meaning, this product lacks the third phase, and as such, it is in an infinite circulation phase. In this phase, more recent investors bring in the three-phased market products and trade them for your two-phased product(membership). Once the scheme collapses, you, as the last membership holder, are left with nothing since no third phase exists in which the value is paid or received.

Bitcoin has exactly the same features. It is a two-phased product. Its issuing is phase one. Its circulation in the market is phase two. But given that its issuers never liquidate it to pay value to its holders, nor it is utilizable like iPhone, bitcoin lacks the third phase. As such, it has ponzi/pyramid-like features. Meaning, once you as an investor, brought in the three-phased market products, you are left only with hope that new investors will trade their three-phased products for your two-phased bitcoin. Once new investors stop investing, the scheme falls apart and you are left with nothing expect the digital record of membership.

This is false it is utilizable I mine and get heat. So it replaces the natural gas I would spend to heat my home.  I read your entire argument this is the sentence that fails your argue.

Please post back and admit you are wrong.
Also every electric space heater could be replaced by a mining ⛏ machine.

So if you use a delongei space heater  a miner like a modified s9 would give you heat a power bill and bitcoins.

while a space heater gives you heat and a power bill.

Too bad I did like your reasoning.

Know if you want to say it is not valued correctly you could be right.
But it does offer a viable byproduct during its creation.
14551  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin during pandemics on: March 18, 2020, 06:58:04 PM
h1n1 was close to this.  but in theory this is worse.

I posted wiki stats on h1n1  700,000,000 to 1,400,000,000   caught in from 2009 to 2010  and 175,00 to 575,000 died.

those are just estimates.

So if this corona-v spreads to 700,000,000 at 2% we have 14,000,000 dead  at 5%  35,000,000 dead
If this corona-v spreads to 1,400,000,000 at 2% we have 28,000,000 dead   at 5%  70,000,000 dead

Every move of any investment in any market is being based on the numbers above

Every move of any investment in any market is being based on the economic damage to come from fighting this virus.

So  drink that in and think about this from a whale viewpoint.

Hmm   hotels take a huge hit.
Hmm   airlines take a huge hit.
Hmm   restaurants take a huge hit.
Hmm   cruise business crushed

Hmm   ventilator manufacturers looking good.
Hmm   internet remote ip should grow bigly.
Hmm    gold, silver, metals should be good

Crypto coins via mining  I think they are undervalued. (maybe whales will think this)

You have 1 billion in investments how and where do you shift?  This is a big question.

Now that first shock has hit the big money guys they are busy think what to do with the assets they own.

big money guys  are shifting their shit around.

I ask you a simple question today and for the next year do you want  10 million worth of btc or 10 million worth of princess cruise line stock.

I rate btc and crypto ahead of a lot of other investments that this virus is going to hurt.

I feel it will go stable soon and then rise better then a lot of stock for a lot of companies .

But what the fuck do i know I am just a  guy typing on a key board in New Jersey, USA  Grin

 I have 1 s9 with two boards running braiins  this is my only sha-256 asic miner that does not run stock firmware.

One of the reasons I don't have more units mining on this firmware is the no proof issue of blocks.

I have about 2 ph of sha-256 mining on viabtc pps+ it would be nice to see some blocks hit proof for any aftermarket firmware.
14553  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: It is 2020 time for a new diff thread. on: March 18, 2020, 03:49:54 PM
Well there is zero  transparency  about the over site on this issue.
No one inspects and makes a report that verifies they use a s17pro on an s17 pro contract.
I would love to see some documents that reference the accounting checks and balances to make sure customers are not being cheated.

I remind all that under these hard times bitmain has zero incentive to sell the gear to us. As leasing it on bitdeer is a nobrainer for them.  They have the we can fuck you over anytime we choose to in the leasing contracts clause. So buying into a lease from bitdeer is loaning  bitmain money on terms that favor them.

first no1 is deleting and we talk and reply and justify everything we said again that come to our discord and you can read the announcements and date also so we are fooling no one and not scamming anyone again , we told these are stock photos and not photos of team or member please read before allegation

You sir, are not fooling anyone reading this thread, as in this case admitting to running a scam before. Some simple research confirm contradiction and blatant outright avoidance in giving straight forward, to the point answers. Always talking around the facts in order to give it fake merit is not a good start to an already bad reputation.
Tytanick, please consider adding CryptoDredge https://github.com/technobyl/CryptoDredge/releases/tag/v0.7.0 as they just released a long awaited linux version.

I have a simple problem.
I have an unknown enemy most likely from bitcointalk.


My guess is it is a scammer I busted.
I was doxxed on this website


https://badbuyerlist.org/


They  gave my name
They gave my phone
They gave my address


They lied saying I am a bad ebay buyer.
They gave a nonexistent account name.
They did not give an item number.

The website will not remove any one so it is annoying to see the lie and to see my home address and phone posted.

I would love to catch the person that did it to me. But not easy to do.

I don't do much scam busting due to this.

The other day I was asked  about escrow by a new account via pm.

I gave the rules and the next day the post appeared here.

To me it means I am being threatened about doing escrows.

I offer to escrow on march 11:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5232107.msg54011391#msg54011391

 March  14  10:56:27 Pm  the escrow pm  from a newbie that registered in 2016 and made only 3 posts.
 March  15 02:45:11 Pm  this crazy post from a guy that registered  in 2018  and had not posted in a long time.
So I know I am being harassed over escrows.

I have had a lot of attacks since escrowing a lot in 2017 and 2018
I kind of stopped doing escrows  due to the attacks.

I started some escrow work and boom  bs.

A lot of ways they do it .  50 new accounts asking for the rules you explain and they  don't do a deal.

you lose time talking or pm's sent  .

It was as much as 2 hours of pm's to answer and no business.

Then the doxxing.

I suspect one of the deals I did was a way to get some info on me to be able to dox me.

Oh well  scammers  are going to scam.
14558  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: It is 2020 time for a new diff thread. on: March 18, 2020, 12:22:15 AM
I am turning off 200th-300th in s9's tomorrow.

I am turning them on in 7 days when the diff drops 10-15 %

I save  1 week  of power  and I then earn   10-15%  more coin for 2 weeks after the diff change.

This idea works if  coins run  4-6k prices.

I earn more money this way. When I take the power costs to account.

I am happy we have
27 s9's to turn off  they do about 300th

all this below will run

15 s17 pros
  1 s17
  2 t17
  2 t17e
  1 t17+     missing a board
  1 s15
  1 t15
  1 s7ln    missing 2 board will turn this off lose 2th

2 m10    missing 1 board
2 m20s  missing 2 boards
1 m21s

2 a1041
2 a1066
1 a741   will turn this off  lose 7th

t2t24
t3t39
t3t50

we will drop about 310th

but still run over 1600th

Still going to run

11gh of LTC  as they are low power and earn better then an s9 now.

I can run 2 L3+  at 1500 watts and they earn  $1.62 in LTC  it also earns some doge maybe 20 cents

I can run 1 s9i   at 1200 watts and it earns  $1.12

So  1.82  vs  1.12  for an extra 300 watts.

this will flatten a bit once  btc diff drops.

Ltc diff adjust ment came faster  and has had a strong drop 6.2 to 5.1

BTC  will do 16.6 to 14.9  but 7 more days.
