I really noticed that my brilliance is not appreciated and therefore I Will give you what you guys want and deserve.

My absence.



Didn't you say you were leaving?

Oh, yeah... you said it. (therefore I should have known it was BullShit!)

Only idiots would see themselves as brilliant.
At least he was brilliant enough to see that self-substraction would be best.

Second and last hint for today: It's in Europe.


You just gave me an idea. We could start a "Bitcoin School" where we could teach newbies about bitcoin, mining, blockchain and so on. A lot of people aren't getting far with DYOR (in fact it steers them towards shitcoins and scams where they lose their interest for crypto all together). People need mentors. This would also promote Bitcoin adoption.

What do you guys think? Would anyone be willing to start something like that with me?

Which platform do you eventually think of?
Daily lessons via twitter?
I'd suggest some platform that already attracted a lot of newbies and is highly active (facebook would be the lowest mark on this scale).


We could start off with social media but at some point get our own platform. We could also introduce some kind of buddy system and mentor system that rewards and incentivizes mentorships. Maybe a fee system?

The own platform would only make sense with video tutorials and live coaching?.
(i'm out)

A minimal approach could be a channel named like "bitcoin school" on Twitter. I read they are currently working on implementing BTC tips via lightning.
Expect KYC, though, but it would be similar to paypal-level, so kinda weak then, i assume.

No, the whole point is to keep it decentralised and anonymous. No videos. No KYC. I imagine something more like a guided process tailored towards each individuals needs and knowledge levels. Currently learning about Bitcoin is more of a try-and-see approach.

Or even more a hearsay and look approach. Which undoubtedly drives some of these people into CSW's or Bitcoin Judas' arms.
Advertising has probably to be targeted to take hold mainly on social media. It's still huge.

Fillippone won 15 sMerit.
Yay!

I like this game...

Merits are the icing on the top.
I must admit I have NEVER been there.
I immediately tought about Venice because of the poles in the Sea... but there are no visible cities from Venice (been there).
So I tought about Trieste (never been there).... loooking on Google maps i found Grado (never been there)....
Street view no great help so I googled:

"Trieste as seen grom Grado", in italan and I found this interesting picture:



Bingo!


Really good work. Maybe a little too fast, but that's only based on my own expectations. Next time i'll try better to extend it more Smiley
Great find on google, too.

Greetings from fillippone's motherland.

One of my sons came up to me today and reported that he has seen a bitcoin-tattoo on one guy. So he asked him if he "knows bitcoin", and the guy said "yes".
No more words were wasted on the topic (good boy). Later on, i saw the guy and the tat, but it was a regular uppercase "B" in college font, in a circle. I guess it should mean "Basketball" or "Baseball".
I explained the Bitcoin symbol to my son again, i think he finally got it now  Cool



EDIT:

I got 4 sendable Merit at the moment.
Will give 2 10 sMerit to the WO identifying the location (city)
Will give 1 5 sMerit for correctly guessing the name of the city in the background as well

EDIT2:
Thanks to El_duderino, who made it possible to top up the sMerit rewards.
It's a hard riddle, but i will give additional tips if nobody can solve it.



Smells like Venice, but I think it's Grado and over there it's Trieste.


I hate Venice. Not the city itself, just the too many tourists.
Nevertheless,
As we can see, competition-crushing local advantage WINS  Cool Grin Cool

Both are correct. It's Grado Pineta's view on Trieste. You must have already been there a couple of times, i guess.
Last week was quiet, in centro about half of the busyness i used to see there, restaurants were almost filled, but no waiting guests in the evening. Unusual but more pleasant, imo.

Fillippone won 15 sMerit.

More of these, please.  Maybe someday I will put one up.tc

But I know a lot of folks think the Guy Fawkes mask is cool and all, but doesn't it sort of reinforce the "shadowy super coder", "bitcoin is being used for dark purposes" stereotype?

In the US probably nearly half of us would associate that with Antifa, and most of those people would not see it in a positive light.

I don't see any reason why successful non synthetic chemical methods of pest control cannot not be scaled up.
Milk diluted 15:1 can work against disease by encouraging antagonistic micro-flora, it has to be applied before onset of disease. For example tomato blight or downy mildew on onions.
The liquid feeds made from composted leaves are every bit as good as commercially bought feeds like seaweed extract.
On bigger scales organic farmers make much use of (costly) insect mesh and baking soda can be used as it increases alkalinity which deters some diseases.
Great to see people growing some of their own healthy food.


I actually earned some experience in winemaking, in two of the best national and also international countries/areas for growing wine. I also made a minor degree in growing and making wine.
Joghurt works even better than milk, i saw the results myself in vineyards at organic wine production, with only one caveat:
You have to spray it twice as often (weekly) which increases use of water and machines, doubles working hours, while the chemical industry is arguing not only with the "safety" of their products as well as the time and resource saving aspects. This is a win for many winemakers, especially at larger scaled production facilities.
 
EDIT: Thanks, by the way, for posting this. It brought up a lot of forgotten memories of that time.

CME futures expiry tomorrow.
Expect recovery shortly after.
We see this on a regular basis since these damned BTC futures are existing.

Current price ranging is nothing but noise. Supply shortage will cause a violent move up in the next 4 to 6 weeks. HODL on & enjoy the sweet smell of success soon.

Seconded.
Tomorrow's expiring futures contract was opened march 2021. Just manipulation noise.

Foreground is Bruce Banner.  Almost done. ( I'm new to auto flower, so its weird seeing mature buds this early.)
Background is Gorilla Glue ...barely started budding, probably ready mid/late October.

Damn shadow unavoidable. Sun at my back.

@philipma1957

FFS dude, are you sure you should be linking an address with so many transactions publicly?

Think about your OPSEC.

I'm sure all that has gone through a KYC exchange and bank. Wink

I guess he tried to point out that BTC adresses are resolvable and one could create a profile of pm1957's use of Bitcoin.
Tracking adresses to businesses or individuals would be the simplest thing within the scope of that topic.

EDIT: And as soon as you have a single transaction successfully mapped to the receiving individual, you could do things like call the receiver and "hi, this is agent herold bloblobrob from the fbi. You were receiving bitcoins a couple of years ago that were stolen. Can you look up/remember this transaction and possibly identify who sent it? For the love of your country..."

Not in the way like NFT's are handled on other chains/platforms, but maybe it would make some kind of sense on smart contracts of a dedicated sidechain, imo.
It just wouldn't make much sense to cram a bunch of bells and whistles into a rock solid blockchain that mainly does only one thing, but does this thing perfectly.
That would be very bad programming as well and that's also my main concern on blockchains like Vitalik's. They cram so much functionality into it, there is a good chance to integrate some vulnerability or even break the whole thing in some way.

Yes, the Liquid BTC sidechain supports NFTs.

Thanks for the source, merited.


The price of wood is more or less back to normal now.

Not here around  Undecided
They even raised the price for raw wood lately, because the "lumberjack-industry" wasn't included in the covid price surge of processed wood.
I don't exactly know how much of my country is covered by forests, but it has to be a third at least, if not even a full half.

Can we make NFTs on Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is NFT…. You can have it own it and be proud of it. Tomorrow people will be biding hundreds of thousands of dollars to have one.
Yea great but it still does not answer my question.
