If Bitcoin ever reaches mass adoption and has many users, we'll need several GB per block. At that size, you can't have decentralization anymore, so as much as I'd want to see larger blocks, that's not a long-term solution.
I think that there is too much confusion and some think that just because people like me or mikey argue about bigger blocks it means we want every single transaction on the chain. NO! I don't want that and I know it's going to be impossible, but at this current size and usage there is no way in hell we could ever migrate to a secondary layer, that's it! Let's say that p2p tx will go each year from filling 100% to 75% to 50% and next year zero block space and let's see how many people can we get on board LN for example! Even better, how many we will get in 10 years? It's somewhat peculiar because one would anticipate that the majority would appreciate the low fees associated with an 8 MB block size, or the 32 MB block size offered by the Bitcoin Cash fork (Bitcoin Cash ABC). However, evidently, they didn't. There seems to be a factor preventing people from transitioning to the fork, and that factor is the people themselves. Instead of assuming that everyone will eventually embrace the switch, I believe we should analyze why we are reluctant to switch.
You're using the price as the only indicator of adoption. People who USE BTC will switch!  Guess how the mempool looked in that timeframe! Do this for 10 months and not just two weeks for ~$10/simple 1/1 tx and let's see what happens. |

You can't practically ban P2P protocols. You can try to regulate them in an extent but you can't completely prohibit the use of bitcoin, unless you prohibit the access to the Internet. Therefore, you can only block access if you ban yourself from the WWW.
Google translate but you will get the point: The Russian authorities and operators once again checked the performance of Russian sites in the context of the country's disconnection from the international Internet. https://www.rbc.ru/technology_and_media/05/07/2023/64a569439a7947106d06262bIt's called a firing squad and after seeing it in action a few times your survival instincts will actively block you from signing any tx! Your survival instincts must also take into account your survival apart from your well-being. I'm pretty sure people would use it if needed. People will use it by default. Again, I lived in a totalitarian dictatorship that had re-education camps, you know why it stopped? They run out of "convicts", literally in 10 years after ww2, they killed almost everyone so it wasn't needed anymore. As I said in numerous posts here, all those bans are easily enforceable, all that it matters is how much the government wants to do it, it is hell-bent on banning it will just execute some as traitors and destabilizers of the regime and you can bet your ass nobody will go on doing it or it will be a "ban" like the one in Nigeria and India where they can't even make their minds on who bans what and enforcement is non-existent. Remember what happened to Elwar? What matters is how much you piss the government, cross the line and.. Belarusians can broadcast their transactions using a full node, or with any pushtx-style webpage while connected over a VPN or Tor, to obfuscate the location where the transactions were made. And there's no way for authorities to reliably track the location of the user with this method because all that remains in APIs are a bunch of node IP addresses and (at worst) client IP addresses that have visited a particular webpage, if they decide to take their internet surveillance that far.
Good, now, how do you get your $ after sending the BTC without the government knowing? |

If you do not want to believe it, I will not argue with you.
Let me spell it our for you so we can end this once or all! Banks, wall street, governments, corporations, reptilians, no matter how bad they are, CZ is 100 times worse than them! Got it? If you don't believe it after what you have seen coming from him, how he lied thousands of times how he covered up all his shit, how is actively campaigning against Bitcoin through his exchange, then, sorry but I too can't argue with you anymore! @LeGaulois. CZ in America? I am sorry but I disagree. CZ does not have any power in America. This is why he is being sued by the SEC. Also, lobbying? It appears that you do not understand. Exactly, lobbying! Do you know how much of the extra fees CZ charges Bitcoin users have gone to lobbying firms? And it's not money that the company somewhat magically produces by doing anything that can be called productive, it's just a ton of our money! In any case, I know we can agree that too much corporate power is the biggest enemy of democracy and it is presently happening in many countries.
And Binance is not a global company that aims for a total monopoly in crypto. Right! Got it! |

The problem can be with the size of a letter. I tried to send one message multiple times and each time got 500 error. When I shortened that message it passed. I tried to change it after that adding what was not got in, but it gives 500 error again. So only short enough messages can be posted or sent. a message after clocking the post button if nothing happens. It is possible that your message is already there even if nothing happened.
I'm getting the error randomly so it's nothing about the size, and having got my last post which is over 15 lines without issues is obvious that's not the cause. Also, it seems even ninjastic.space is having issues getting the posts, I tried to link an example of how to NOT do it, but it seems it hasn't passed those posts at all: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5459078.20;topicseenTried archive.fo but it fails also to grab the page, will update if it manages Anyhow, somebody is dead serious about posting that reply: :  Today at 12:54:16 PM Today at 12:55:45 PM Today at 12:56:28 PM Today at 12:57:55 PM Today at 01:02:01 PM Today at 01:41:38 PM LE: Editing this just to point out that the post got through without issues! |

Bumping this cause I saw Phil reply on another topic... and we have liftoff!!!!! Latest Block: 797958 (9 minutes ago)
Current Pace: 107.0267% (1639 / 1531.39 expected, 107.61 ahead) it was around 860 at that time so we're up 20 blocks in about ~24 hours. So if this goes on like this and we don't have surprises in the two days left we're another ATH and a 3.4% on the previous, erasing completely the previous loss and keeping close to the 2% average growth. My weather app says continuous 36C in Houston and Dallas so I doubt this is caused by miners returning miners to normal hashing and more like completely new gear being turned on on top of whatever is still lingering at low settings. Still 7 cents/th and probably we're going to be stuck like that. probably not even jumping to $45 would help break the 10 cents barrier as probably it will, trigger a dozen or so of exas to come back online. It might be premature to call it, especially since is crypto and we all know how it goes, and on top of that, I have the habit of being wrong but is this a sign of the gold rush even though everyone was getting a shovel (asic) and digging to get rich finally ending and turning into the less thrilling mining where you look at annual reports in single digit profits rather than monthly ROI? |

So you scammers have enough material to pay for publishing your own articles? Review my ass, paid publicity by a scammer who keeps saying it has clients, it's making profits but somehow it can't show a single proof of actively having a single damn miner at work. Again, to everyone reading this, stay away from this scam: -no license -no gear -fake promises =ponzi scheme! Please note, we are incorporated in the US and comply with the us laws, this acts as a silver signature regarding the legitimacy of our business.
Yeah, are you sure about that? So don't mind if I forward an inquiry about your "company" and your business to the FINRA, right? I would normally not waste that much of my time with petty scammers like you but you crossed too many liens here! |

if your doing it to earn some cash , its a tough gig , people out there have petra hashes of
kit running for years without catching a block , thats the first REALITY !
Nobody mentioned solo mining, so please stop with the damn lottery thing, you might find an interesting word to throw it around but it's not it's place here. OP said it was going to mine, and that's it, leaving aside the legal implications with free energy he will get a profit no matter what, he can easily just join a mining pool with 4-5 miners and that's it unless you have a broken usb miner from 6 years ago that will never be making the minimum withdraw nobody is forcing you to solo mine! Plenty of pools that will accept an S9 and I'm more curious about those that don't (well, except for foundry) if you're considering buying used machines, www spamfinder com
Stop with your spam and with all your alts! |

POS might be the end of Bitcoin, therefore I am totally against it! We know what happened to Ethereum the moment it became POS, do we not?
Why, has ETH died? I have some really bad news for you if by god forbid what miracle of hell Bitcoin will go POS, it won't mean the end of it. Simple because the number of people that really care about decentralization is a tiny drop in the ocean compared to the ones that are only after the value and the swings in trading, hard to swallow pill but it's reality. https://triple-a.io/crypto-ownership-united-states-2022/There are supposedly 46 million people holding crypto and 76% of it, that's 33.4 million, holding Bitcoin. And yet you only have 40,121,270 addresses with more than 1$ worth of BTC on it. So, we either agree that the number of addresses and thus at most users has barely doubled in 6 years from 20957930 to 47812082 or we agree that most of the growth is in users holding their funds in CEX, so, do you think those people would care about PoW or Pos or do they even know what those mean? I keep bumping on this forum into one or two-year-old users who think that if miners add more gear the number of confirmed transactions will grow or even double, do you expect a total newbie who is only investing to get some x10 x100 overnight to care about pos or pow? No! That's reality! And that as much as I hate ETH I know this won't affect it even one tiny bit! and from all indication, tx fees then will be higher than what it regularly is now, so that would be enough to encourage miners to keep on mining BTC. Care to name one of those indicators? |

Use this if you can  Seems like at least someone has taken your advice: https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/address/3JSdUu1ivm3rqMvuCTAdAj6Dc2hdVhHiEeI've countered over 15k inputs being consolidated just here today, not spending time tracking if it's a tumbler or an exchange but this guy with his few addresses has used just today about 10 blocks today at least. While they will go down to 2-3 probably this weekend I doubt we will see too soon blocks with empty space, there are probably a ton of users waiting for this breather just to consolidate. Also, a sudden increase in hash rate is also helping, Current Pace: 106.2707% (1472 / 1385.14 expected, 86.86 ahead) 86 blocks more than normal, about 8 blocks a day extra. |

Doomsayers cult two years ago: China is holding all of US debt, US is owned by China, Us puppet of China, US bankrupt Doomsayers cult now: China is dumping all of US debt, China no longer holds US debt, US is bankrupt! Going over the obvious lack of knowledge of what those bonds actually are and what purpose they serve here is a really hard pill for you to swallow: According to data from the US Department of the Treasury, China's holdings of US agency bonds — bonds issued by US government-sponsored agencies like mortgage buyer Freddie Mac — stood at $259.99 billion as of January, up by $55.3 billion, or 27 percent, from a year ago. Simply said, China is just converting treasury bonds to us agency ones because they are offering higher yields. Experts said a key driver of China's rising holdings of US agency debt was its higher yield over US Treasuries.
A recent Bloomberg report said that the US agency bonds' yield premium over US Treasuries has widened over the past year, with the option-adjusted spread between US agency bonds and Treasuries increasing to about 28 basis points as of mid-February, up from about 15 basis points a year ago. Oh, and I'm sure every single one of you is going to label this as fake news, even if it comes from the official paper of the CCP. Meanwhile, how are BRICS currencies doing? If the USD is dying, why are the BRICS currencies going lower against it?  I would have mentioned also the Iranian rial but that thing went down so bad it's destroying every graphic like the Zimbabwe dollar. |

Let me tell you as a guy who lived at a farm, his whole family was in the farming business for a century, who still doeS the accounting for one, as clear as the sky is blue the author of that garbage has seen a farm only in pictures and maybe while playing Farmville on his phone. One of the biggest perks of vertical farming lies in the fact that it follows a Hydroponic growing process whereby only 10% of the water is used. And instead, they use 10 times more energy for it, just this year despite with food prices going up: Vertical farmer Kalera files for Chapter 11 bankruptcyIndoor farming operations face bankruptcies, layoffs, closuresAeroFarms Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection, CEO Steps DownThe vertical farming bubble is finally poppingYou can always choose to grow crops in an area where your customer lives thereby reducing transportation costs, carbon dioxide emissions, and the constant need for refrigerating your produce. At the end of the day, this not only contributes to the freshness of your products but also makes them incredibly profitable. A 100km trip for a fully packed truck is about ~30l, that's one tractor round for one ha, usually, you will need 5 rounds for that including the harvesting, and you will be getting around 10 tons, so 1/4 of a truck. Besides, good luck with bananas in Bulgaria, with rice in Denmark and your Merlot will taste horrible in Pakistan or Nigeria. When you grow food on a vertical farm, you have the chance of completely cutting down on the need to invest in pesticides. That is because your farming is practiced in a controlled environment that prohibits the entry of pests. And the controlled environment costs more than pesticides. But, who cares, right? Obviously not the above-mentioned business that went bankrupt one after other! Since this mode of farming does not affect trees and animals around inland zones, it is also an excellent way to promote biodiversity.
Yeah, because flattening the ground and pouring 10 feet of concrete foundation for all that weight, all the piping all the electricity needed will do wonders for biodiversity? The author just mentioned a closed environment and now we have biodiversity, LMAO!!!!! But the most important thing that nearly every single one of those "authors" tend to forget If there is no room for the farm in the city because, prices are high, do you think paying 10 000 euros per sqm to grow 50 kilos of tomatoes worth 100 euros is a viable business? |

I have a mixed opinion with the swap option XMR and ETH but surely because I'm too maximalist.
Of course there are people who will be interested, but I don't know if the demand is high enough to be viable.
Maxi here also, and eth hater by default. But I can understand WW tactics, they are a business and they have to offer something more to their clients, and to be able to break completely the chain while doing a hoop on some other altcoin might sound appealing to enough users to be worth it. Besides, they will find out themselves, if it's not working and not gaining traction at all they will simply drop and we will have BTC only again! This would be an amazing thing to have, many users would want to use the mixer as an exchange instead, a no-KYC exchange is certainly needed by many users, not sure about the legal implications since the service will no longer be just a BTC mixer, but rather an exchange and a mixer.
Wouldn't this be categorized as centralized exchange?
Echoing these concerns, at this point you're going to be more like a no-KYC CEX than a mixer, but I assume you thought of this at least one step further before you started working on it. |

And you would be making $307704 a day, which in most industries you will not even come close.
I'd be a prince in my country if earned that a day. You're typing numbers that someone like me shouldn't dare dream about. Yeah, but you would be a price in the first place by having $50 mils to invest. But again, as I said, you don't need 1% you could be happy with 0.01%, and you can be making a profit even with 1 single gear after all that's what mining is all about, you need to ROI as fast as you can, not the amount of hashrate you have, the % in returns counts. It's an idea for people who've funds at their disposal. I can't be alone as one of the people who doesn't have large amounts of money.
It's the same for every single business out there, if you don't have the money you will not be able to make more money, except if your plan is winning the lottery or hitting 80000:1 gamble on horses at Ascot. It is nothing new, small miners died long time ago. If you have any thoughts of mining bitcoin, just forget it.
No they didn't, they have gone way lower in numbers and in the percentage of hashrate owned by it's not like they've gone all of them extinct and this board is the proof of it. |

And here's another thing: POW can be optimized! We can find ways to get rid of those pesky ASICs and make the mining process more inclusive and fair. We have the power to make it better, folks.
POW can't be optimized, it's machines that run on the chosen algorithm that can be optimized. And no, getting rid of ASICs will be impossible, it's not some magical algorithms that prevent s ASICs from being built for that, it's the money involved. For example, Monero is not preventing ASICs to be developed by some magical code, it's the daily reward, which is a puny $70,103 compared to $31,356,478 for Bitcoin, who would develop ASICs and design chips for something that is 0.2% of Bitcoin? Have monero go up by x1000 and the reward reach 70 million a day and ASICs for Randomx will grow like mushrooms. The very, very first version of BTC was the most fair. Back then, when 1 CPU = 1 vote, things were more equal.
That never happened and besides, even Satoshi broke that rule since he didn't have just one CPU! |

Ordinarily, one would expect that such a post as this wil be deleted, of course it would have if it were on most other platforms, but here, I feel what decentralization truly mean, even though the forum is not decentralized...
Why? This forum sells vouchers and coupons that are 99% bought with hacked cc, allows for fake subscribers and views, and a ton of other things that are either a result of illegal activity or are illegal in like 100 jurisdictions. What would be the problem if somebody is selling used panties? You've joined the morality police maybe? At least Im selling a legitimate product instead of scamming people l;)
But you posted a picture you obviously copied from a website, you should have at least looked at the URL as it says 2017 in it So while I have nothing against what you sell, I have serious doubts you're not just stealing pictures and maybe you're not even a girl. |

There's 110TH S19 pro advertised on ebay for $1975. I can afford to buy small mining hardware but it's bad news because I didn't know about hash rates until the present. Those hash rates won't make me wealthy so isn't worth entering cryptocurrency mining. I'll need 34,500 S19 Pro's for 1% of Bitcoin's total hash. It's $51M investment if one costs $1500. You're making it sound like it's a waste of time for everyone in the world to grow food because Cargill Meat has 10 million cattle and General Mills has god knows how many acres of farmland, so just give up! It doesn't work like this, if you have dirt cheap electricity you can easily compete with the large companies because you don't need to pay employees, you don't need to pay rent or security, and most importantly you have no shareholders that need to have a return on top of that. Also, the price of that miner means also nothing, it's the return that counts, if it were 100$ and it would have earned you 10 cents a day it would have been better? No! I'll need 34,500 S19 Pro's for 1% of Bitcoin's total hash. It's $51M investment if one costs $1500.
And you would be making $307704 a day, which in most industries you will not even come close. |

Such documents are no longer useful in most services, KYC implementation is using 3rd party platforms which require live verification. He understood that all the documents he collected (illegally I think) were completely useless.
One of the KYC things I like and I hope every platform out there starts implementing it so we can finally get rid of this black market with selfies and id scans that have simply gone insane, a few days ago I saw offers for as low as 5$ for EU and US combos, (id,selfie,utility,bank), it needs to stop! And people who are using those to bypass country blocks, also need to stop, you never know how much trouble you're getting your ass for a few hundred dollars, and you might regret this all your life. if you smell money then you are there huh
what were you trying to do here sir? (your the only one who contacted me by pm)
So? He sent you a PM, just as you asked in your topic: Hello can someone contact me by pm with good merit on his account ?
proposal and you can get something out of this (money) contact me !
I'm willing to bet that if I posted on that topic asking eveyone not to send you a PM you woudl have screamed like a madman i'm not here to defend myself however i got these docs to make account on 1 site i'm intrested in
You have somebody's else documents, you're using somebody else documents and you're trying to sell them, there is nothing you can defend here. But still grabbing some popcorn in case some poor bounty hunter recognizes his papers in those pics! |
