I don't have a problem with the water as an alternative to my morning coffee, but, come on, do they really expect me to believe that it is over 5,000 years old. What happens when it runs out then - will they start fracking for old water. Smiley

The water is constantly replenished. In fact, new water sinking into the ground now is what is pushing the old water out of the ground.

While everyone is busy buying toilet paper and masks to hide from the flu, why is nobody talking about NASA’s warning of a potential extinction level event?

because:

That's 16 times the distance to the moon.

So in case ledger company doesn't exist in the world, i still have seed phase to try software wallet one by one. Thank you for your help

Many people don't realize that you can access your hardware wallets through various software wallets such as Electrum and Mycelium. You don't need to rely on the Ledger or Trezor websites. Even if the companies go away, you can still use your hardware wallet.

So I can provide you realtime trading orders for , you can see my trades and when you are ready.

This smells like a scam.
2047  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to store bitcoins in your phone (Not using Coinbase or anything similar) on: March 09, 2020, 02:33:22 AM
I can recommend 4 different wallets for phones: Edge, BRD, Samourai, and Mycelium.

BRD is a basic wallet and is easy to use.
Edge is also easy to use. It encrypts your wallet with a username and password, and stores it so that you can access it from any device.
Samourai has some advanced privacy features.
Mycelium has a ton of features, so it might not be the best first wallet. I use Mycelium primarily for accessing my hardware wallets.

A wallet on your phone can be secure, convenient and easy to use. There really is no good reason to store bitcoins on an exchange if you aren't trading them.

I have finally decided to get this mining ASIC machine for bitcoin mining, and yes my final electricity rate is Rs.6.95 per unit.
...
The mining ASIC----  https://promineruk.com/product/bitmain-antminer-s17-100th-s-1500w-psu-by-prominer/

Modified S17+? It is a scam. Here is the real S17+: https://shop.bitmain.com/product/detail?pid=00020200226221734823y2nbwIDR06BF

Also, how do you plan to manage the heat and noise?

Finally, Rs. 6.95/kWH is not cheap. It might not be profitable after the halving.
2049  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Not an article about Bitcoin: "I accidentally sent £1,000 to the wrong account" on: March 08, 2020, 05:29:22 PM
People complain that if bitcoins are mistakenly sent to the wrong address, the transaction can't be undone. It turns out that fiat has the same problem.

I accidentally sent £1,000 to the wrong bank account but Barclays cannot recover the money as it's been spent - what can I do?

    I transferred some money to someone who was doing some work in my garden and unknowingly - and rather stupidly - managed to get the account number wrong.
    With hindsight I should probably have transferred a smaller value as a test, but instead sent £1,000.
...
    After two days I gave Barclays a call and managed to speak to someone. They advised the transfer had been successful and I needed to contact the man I had intended to send the money to, giving him a reference number, which was at least 20 digits long.

    I did this, but he came back after visiting his own bank, stating he was told there was nothing that could be done and the onus was on me to chase it with my own bank.
...
    George Nixon, This is Money, replies: Whether it's due to fat fingers or because we're distracted by something else, accidentally sending money to the wrong person happens frequently after inputting incorrect bank details.
...
    In a letter sent to you by Barclays, it added the next option is making a legal claim against the customer you accidentally sent the money to, and recommended if you do that you obtain independent legal advice.

It is tragic that "God" seems to mean something different to each person, yet there are so many that are willing to kill and die in order to impose their meanings onto others.

... What I was thinking about, what if instead of 1 single Bitcoin blockchain, there were 10 different chains, each with 2.1M bitcoin, people can choose in which chain they want to have their coins ofcourse, but these would be the 10 Bitcoin chains. ...

Do mean something like these 10 Bitcoin chains?

1. Bitcoin
2. Bitcoin Cash
3. Bitcoin SV
4. Bitcoin Gold
5. Bitcoin Diamond
6. United Bitcoin
7. Bitcoin Super
8. Segwit2x
9. Bitcoin World
10. Bitcoin Faith

No not different chains, like that, but I'm sure you understood that part.
If not different like those then how?

Anyway, I think the DAG suggestion by Loyce is really what you want, though it isn't what you asked for. My answer is not what you were hoping for, but it is exactly what you asked for. In short, if you have separate chains then that is what you get. If you don't want that then you can't have separate chains.

If the DAG intrigues you, take a look at IOTA: https://blog.iota.org/the-tangle-an-illustrated-introduction-4d5eae6fe8d4

News flash! Someone said that Bitcoin is digital gold today!

In my view, Fred Schebesta and Tom Lee have 0 credibility, and they both pump out these PR pieces in order to drum up business.

... There have been no recorded cases of speakers falling down on customers in any British McDonalds. ...

And before the first 737 Max fell out of the sky, there were no recorded cases of that happening either. Then it happened twice.

Anyway, why should I trust your opinion on this? Do you have any real facts to support it? Of course, if you are correct about this, then it is yet another example of how regulatory overreach is wasteful. But if you are not, then it is another example of someone looking for situations to support their biases.

It is common for a person to believe they are an expert on a subject, when they are actually uninformed. It's called the Dunning–Kruger effect. In order to avoid that, I try to understand why someone believes they are correct before I tell them that they are wrong.
2056  Other / Off-topic / Re: Trading On DueDEX | Get A Win At 25x | Bitcoin Technical Analysis on: March 05, 2020, 07:31:58 AM
25x leverage? You are guaranteed to lose all of your money with that amount of leverage. The price only needs to drop 4% and you are wiped out.

As for the video, the price dropped right after you bailed. If you didn't bail, then you would have made a lot more than $0.50. But if you set the take profit price a little lower you would have been stopped out when the price rose above $8900 this morning. Moral of the story -- it's unpredictable. It's all luck.
2057  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Question regarding x3 long/short tokens on: March 04, 2020, 05:37:57 PM
I don't know the specifics for the leveraged tokens, but the math is correct in general. If an asset's price drops by 50%, it must rise by 100% in order to return to the original price.
2058  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if Bitcoin Gets Centralized Through Massive Mergers on: March 04, 2020, 10:14:36 AM

2059  Economy / Economics / Re: Why Bitcoin Is Not a Viable Currency Option.q on: March 03, 2020, 02:19:02 AM
I don't disagree strongly with anything of the examples you provided (though some are exaggerated), but "viable" is not the right word.

"Viable" means "capable of working, functioning, or developing adequately", and none of your examples showed that Bitcoin is not capable. They simple show that it "has a long way to go" (just as you wrote).

So, I suggest that more people will agree with you if you change the title to Why Bitcoin Is Not Ready As A Currency Option

I think it will provide the information you might be looking for.
