are you actually holding the BTG? Or mining and trading out?

fwiw my nvidia is on aion & my amd is on loki

Agree with your points. As a conspiracy theory junkie it’s more fun to think bitmain is shutting down their units after testing , in order for them to be packaged and shipped.

24 TH for 2 KW?

Not very impressive if they're actually using 7nm parts.

Innosilicon has done better than THAT on new nodes....

and we hit one yeah

let us get a nice one today  maybe in the next 1 or 2 hours

So those ancorns... Noone has seen them, noone has used them, noone has tested them, but anyone is loosing their minds. Are there any parts in my statement wrong?

It was the Nikka Coffey Malt, one of my all time favourites

Block Friday!  

Block Thursday??

Hmm,

Are their any Virtual or Physical Machines that can allow me to run applications at a different time scale than normal time.
Basically scaling 24 hours in 24 seconds and the application be none the wiser.

Therefore truly tricking an application about the speed of time.

Does anyone have any links to such a thing?


FYI:
OK, just to sum up.
To run this attack,

1.  One has to Buy or Steal old Private Keys totaling over 51% of a Proof of Stake Coin.
2.  Have a Virtual Machine that can fake time, so the wallet client can run unmodified.
3.  Create a Longer Chain with more difficulty on their virtual machine.
4.  Run Multiple PCs with their new chain on the coin network to replace the main chain.

* Still other factors that could block the fake chain from taking over,
Coin Age may keep the main chain with a higher difficulty, even if the attacker has actual 51% of coins.
Many Coins refuse blocks created too far ahead of the main chain, blocking the attacker's chain.
So timing has to be perfect.

Actually looks like a lot of personal time and expense to really accomplish nothing.
Say the attacker chain actually does rewrite the main chain.
Such a thing will be noticed immediately.

So the coin community releases the main chain with a hard coded check point blocking the attacker's chain.
People redownload the main chain and updated code and are back to normal within a day.

This attack , causes all Proof of Stake coins to implement rolling checkpoints as a safeguard and the whole attack proves to be a NON-EVENT.  

The attacker however has wasted his time and money on an attack , that never had any real chance of destroying a proof of stake network.  



FYI2:  Little thought for the PoW Crowd.  
The Largest ASICS Producer could have a major breakthrough and run NEW ASICS in their factory in Parallel to the main chain
for a few months creating a Longer chain with higher difficulty at their factory than the public bitcoin chain.
Releasing the ASICS Attack chain to overwrite the Bitcoin Network Main Chain.
And what would they do to repair things, release a download of the main chain and a updated client with a hard coded check point ,
and most likely implement rolling check points to prevent that from happening again.  

Before taxes I suppose ?

I live in Ontario and pay ~ 6.7 c/kWh on average. We recently had a change of Provincial government because people (among other issues) were unhappy about high cost of electricity. I have no idea how you guys can tolerate 18c rate.

Mining ETH, I'm still generating a + but it's teeny... off 18 cards, i'm netting $5 a day at current eth value... just hodling for now.

My point got a little lost, I simply meant I am dubious of their power ratings.

Yes even at 2400W this current model would be nice, hopefully it stays in this range.

I hope I am wrong as my M3s were excellent miners and this one looks awesome.

No there weren't confirmation letters from them. And ofc I've checked spam folder etc.
So I'm lil bit frustrated here, there's a transaction confirmation from "Coin Payments" as shown on the pic. And no other contact info apart that email that wont reply back. No idea what to do atm.

upd: well there might be some site performance issues but I didnt get any reply\explanation from them anyway.

Yes they do, but +10% on 2000W is 2200W, not 2400W... That's 400W over between the two.

Hi .

Like the announcement says in need 2 or 3 Bitmain cupons with min value of 200$ preferably 320$ or higher,please pm me if u have for sale.

Thx in advance,

Iv

This entire idea grinds my gears. I'm with you on this 100% of the way.

I began my internet working journey in 2015, and the very first idea I had was that I would build a blog representing my thoughts, feelings and experiences put forth into the world for anyone that could use whatever it was that I was talking about to their advantage. This blog slowly grew into a magazine and recently I've had some lovely diverse and open-minded perspectives towards the world. The only real mission that I have for my magazine is that I may not necessarily agree with the message of the author but because of freedom of speech and expression, and my thirst for devouring different viewpoints, I let everyone have their say providing it's not damaging or hateful.

This entire perspective I have on the world has thrust me into a very libertarian network of people, and although I consider myself libertarian I do love the idea of free speech. Free speech allows us to exist in a realist world where everyone voices their opinions freely. I've met some strange people though; one lady that was enthusiastic about writing for me insisted that you couldn't be racist to a white person and would accommodate no other viewpoints to that; her own perspective on the world being the gold standard and anything that differs from such would require her and her buddies to go into their safe space.

In my mind the term safe space has been hijacked. As a manager, and a man that would go into difficult communities and get people talking, a safe space for me would be to sit two people down and have them both listen to each others viewpoints without interruption or judgement -- that way you could force and medium ground; it's a thing counsellors do in couples therapy, and it's also a way to get people to realise they aren't listening to each other. So this new term safe space has been completely hijacked and used as a term for people to sit in without fear of anything different. In my mind that's dangerous to a person and society.

If I hadn't been called weird and different as a kid, I would have never have strived to make anything of myself; to be better than those that enjoyed name calling me, to sit on my high chair in adulthood and look down on them as they struggled to make ends meet. It didn't pan out that way, but in my opinion the differing of opinions and the competition in society is fierce. If there was no reason to be better, to create more, to be better than you were last year then we would all just stagnate. We would exist in our own bubble of safety and no-one would ever intend to get better at anything. Life is grand, so we'll just sit in the sun and get a tan.

Ben Shapiro famously said -- facts don't care about your feelings. Now I'm generally not a big fan of that man but everything he's said on freedom of speech is down to the nail. If we all wanted to be sheltered away from the nasty things in the world we'd end up as big fragile snowflakes scared that our feelings get hurt.

I blame Facebook though, and other algorithm formats. They've created a world where people live in echo chambers of their own opinions and it's become so increasingly harder for people to hear opinions from other people that differ from theirs; right down to the point of utter disgust, and bodily harm. "Punch a racist" is a commonly used term in my world, yet I worry that racist is used too loosely these days. Someone identifying with right wing ideology is brandished as a racist; when without deeper analysis you have no way to tell this.

And have you noticed that everyone believes they are right these days? Everyone? There is absolutely no gathering of facts and proper critical analysis; it's just, you're wrong because I don't like to feel that I'm wrong.

I'll leave you with this piece:
