Europe said they will be shutting down borders.

We are in New Jersey about an hour from New York City.

A lot of sick people in New York City.

To any and all that have been on my threads and on bitcointalk.org be careful.

Do the math government now recommends groups of people to be under 50 .


Is that individual ages, or the size of the group?

The amount of people in a group should be 50 or less

That has now been reduced to 10 or less.
14564  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: It is 2020 time for a new diff thread. on: March 17, 2020, 06:28:39 PM
diff needs to drop by 30% for me to think no fear or worries.

BTW  LTC. diff went way down from last,years 1/2 ing

but so much is up in the air I do not know what will happen to btc diff for next three drops.

if i were bitmain i would swap s19s for the other gear on bit deer.

still charge power like it is an s17.

then clean up the s17s and push them out.

I think it would be better for them.

Well I was checking h1n1 back in 2009/2010

wiki stats  are 700,000,000 to 1,400,000,000 got sick with it

and 175,000 to 575,000  died from it   world wide stats.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_flu_pandemic

those are estimated numbers according to wiki.

So if 700,000,000 catch this and death rate is 2 - 7%   we get 14,000,000 to 49,000,000 worldwide deaths.

If 1,400,000,000 catch this  and death rate is 2-7%  we get 28,000,000 to 101,000,000 worldwide deaths.

Those numbers are in the range of the 1918-1919 spanish flu numbers.

Diff is -11%.

A world 🌎 population dropping from 8,000,000,000 to 500,000 would mean terror and horror was most likely experienced by everyone. So those remaining people would have really bad ptsd.

It would be pretty sure you lost many of your friends and family if that many people die.

So for me I’d find a place to be alone and hang out by myself till I die.

Or maybe not.

Mass shooting death tolls will drop.

Do the math government now recommends groups of people to be under 50 .

President Trump has mentioned groups of 10 or less.

With almost all schools shut down corona-v will prevent a sandy hook type shooting from happening.

I realized this seems sarcastic or callus but it is true. New York City 🌃 closed all public schools for a month.

this means no mass shooting in a NYC school for the next thirty days.

It this spirit please list some thing good that corona-v will do for us.

please be nice.

It occurs to me that since a large number of people are going to be stuck indoors for a while, the forums might be busier than usual.  Are Cloudflare ready to anticipate and cope with the extra demand?

I think you'll find more problems on some forum related to netflix, where people will be comlaining they've bingewatched everything possible, and have nothing to watch.

netflix has over 100 years of shows.

there is always something on it.

lot of it sucks so if you are picky you may think there is nothing to watch

normally I don't push price guesses.

But diff is going to tank a lot. Stockmarkets are linked as crypto coins are played like stocks.
We could see a crazy crash as I think most exchanges are trading imaginary coins on high margin leverages.

If coins drop to 2000 I would not be surprised. But my caveat is worldwide markets matter here.  Dow Jones Nasdaq are but 2 of them  there are a lot more. It they keep tanking crypto will tank right with them.

Be careful guys and gals. These are crazy times. Basically no one has seen this that can remember this type of pandemic.  1918-1919 is a long time ago.

off topic:
Having a sugar issue means I manage my sugar level by diet. I was 12.1 on the a1c translation dude you are going to die in a few years without proper dieting.

I do no meds for it I diet on keto and I am at 6.7 to 7.1  which is pretty good for only dieting. It means I do produce enough insulin to not have to take pills.  But

no breads
no beer
no cake
no wheat products.

Being mostly of Italian descent no pasta or italian bread is hard to do.

back to topic we are down 11%  and I see that holding or going to 15%.
14572  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: ETC is havling tmr, what do you think on: March 16, 2020, 06:08:44 PM
Yup as you know, ETC is halving tmr

What do you think?

What's your prediction? Either on price or in other directions

Well, this virus has been pulling back btc and affected other alts

So i am hoping halving can at least make a little influence on ETC... Smiley Smiley



Block halving? No Block halving, only 20% reduce of the block reward and no it will do nothing with the price at moment. You see the charts all over the world?

Ahhh sorry, wrong description. I am not sure what charts you refer to Smiley

fixed your smile   Smiley

I cut a deal with Og

You have the patience of a saint.

Thanks,  but if you had my brother-in-law you would understand how I taught myself to be patient.

They should be nice to have on hand.

Coins arrived all good.

Og sent me a little bonus.

Very happy with deal.

Ltc dropped hard from 6.2 to 5.1 to get a preview of what btc will do tracking ltc numbers helps.

I figure Ltc will drop to a diff of 4 or 4.5 on next adjustment.

since price drop of ltc has matched price drop of btc my guess is btc diff will drop much like ltc.
14575  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin's price, and mental health. on: March 16, 2020, 03:28:48 PM


You do not lose anything unless you panic sell. If it is your own money, all you have to do is wait for the crisis to be over, i'm sure things will eventually return to normal (for bitcoin anyway).


YOU LOSE YOU MONEY IF YOU DO NOT SELL !!!!

What a " feel good " but false emotional statement Artemis3 makes.   A good, rational investor knows when to take money OFF the table, lacking this skill can result in getting totally wiped out.   NORMAL does not exist anymore, the world you knew is OVER.   Welcome to the great depression, the last one lasted well over 10 years.   I am sure many people will need their money, rather than just lose it all.

I am also sure there are many that were laughing at me last week, that are a little worried now.   I see it in the responses, less ridicule and a little more thought by a lot of people here.

Hard Facts



I have zero fear this will rebound.
I can see you have zero fear of a rebound.
You call the rebound will take ten years.
You could be correct.

I can handle a long down time as I take profits to help insure against this type of crash.

As for those that never took a profit and just mined and hodl they will be hurting.

So the crash you called for has happened.
You did miss one one thing all stores of wealth crashed.

Right now.
water filters
air filters
bottled water
canned food
hand sanitizing liquids
 
are more valuable then they were two weeks ago.

So your advice was only partially correct.

Gold dropped
silver dropped
stocks dropped
oil dropped

So rather then being gleeful about your clever predictions you should be apologizing for the ones you missed.
14576  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: What will be your biggest fears and risks to setup mining farm. on: March 16, 2020, 03:17:28 PM
Price crash is the biggest fear ehhe and it happens so fast ehhe, in just one day bitcoin lost 60% of its value, now is barely alive ehhe but dont worry trolls, in 2 months or so bitcoin will be around 100k because when it is pumped it happens fast too ehhe

The diff will lower.

Ltc diff dropped from 6 to 5 due to market crash.

btc is due to drop from 16.4 to 15.0

over extended miners will have to shut down over the next two months.

Actually it does matter as this is  a worldwide event.

My fears for myself are:

1) my wife catches it in her already weakened condition.

2)I am 63                                 =  not good.
3)I have a managed asthma       = not good.
4)I have a managed sugar issue  = not good.
 
So frankly  a worldwide disease with numbers like Italy scare me a lot.

If it goes the route of 75 days of bad numbers  most of us will recover and the world  will be a changed place.

The diff and the ½ ing will  become more important then they are today.

I did sell a bit of coin today  near 5725 price we  then dropped again to 5288.

I am USA based. If seller needs to delay my shipping I can wait a bit.

If seller is in New Jersey, USA I can meet.

Basically I can be flexible if it helps.
14580  Economy / Collectibles / Re: 5 HOURS LEFT Corrosive Creations CRYPTODECK (CLUBS) on: March 16, 2020, 01:15:28 AM
Sorry this has took so long but they are finally done!  I am delighted to offer you guys the third installment of my Cryptodeck, the Clubs 👍👍





This auction will have 13 lots which I will list underneath and will consist of the Clubs only.




What is included in each lot is as follows

1x Unique .999 solid silver playing card
1x Polymerbit first ever COA, done on a polymer medium
1x Magnetic acrylic case
1x Polishing rag
All of which will arrive contained within a black gusseted envelope





These .999 silver playing cards are the standard poker size, rounded up (65mmx 90mm) and are 0.5mm thick. This is the closest dimensions i could use to achieve a weight of very close to 1oz. They did not arrive to me in a polished state so I have done my very best to get them to as close to a mirror finish as possible.

There WILL be imperfections on these cards due to the fact they have been hand polished! I have done my best to get the finish to as high a level as possible, they absolutely DO have a mirror finish but at the same time, because of the nature of them being hand finished please dont expect a machine perfect and defect free card!  The silver, because it was rolled, has lots of tiny dimples which are impossible to remove without the removed pieces getting caught on the polishing mop and dragging across the surface. I have been as open about the finish on these as possible and got the photographer to try his best to make sure these flaws are visible in the pictures taken.

Each card takes about 6 hours total machine time to make and is done by use of a fiber laser. The design was lifted from an existing set of playing cards and has been changed, not only to include the Bitcoin B, but also to incorporate the circuitry which serves as the digital theme.

On each card, EVERY pip has the circuitry design on it which can be seen quite clearly under a magnifying glass, it is very very fine detail and is almost undetectable to the human eyeball!  Please note, that i know this is a Diamond pip, however, the same circuitry is imbedded within the clubs too....



The COA provided in the package was done by Polymerbit on the forum and is made, funnily enough, from polymer. It is a work of art in itself and as far as I am aware, is the first COA that they have done. It is absolutely beautiful



Something else which I think is noteworthy is that all of these cards have been sent to the Edinburgh Assay office for testing and each one bears my unique hallmark, the 999 to verify purity and the logo for the Edinburgh office itself. This is VERY small and i have done my best to picture it here....




Here are some pics which include every card in the set....



Any other pictures are available on request!
