Haven't read the previous posts to this, but couldn't resist a discussion of ignition mods.  I used to mod my old points vehicles with electronic ignitions, often of my own design.  My favorite hack was to make a cascode circuit by putting an IGBT between the points and the coil, which relieves the points of the high voltage burden and passes the high voltage switching load to the transistor (points still carry the current in series with the IGBT).  Simplest circuit possible.  I've done complicated stuff like building a hall effect ignition with magnets on a spinning disk in the breaker (the cannister that contains the points) of an old panhead.  Good memories.  Now I drive a modern car and do abstract stuff like modeling an oscillator based on bitcoin's 100 week geometric mean.  Life goes on.

I guess it's just because I have never really been a trader... but I have NEVER understood holding coins on an exchange or ANY service.  I did not do it with Mt Gox, I did not do it with Polo. I (almost) never did it anywhere.

I would never guess that this many exit scams, fractional reserves, and rug pulls would happen and people would still not learn.

Monero is just SO CHEAP and easy to use.  It was not always so.  Cheap, yes, but easy?  Not like now.  There is just about zero excuse.  Your reason up there is compelling entirely without the safety/self sovereignty angle.  But this has been attempted many times (proof of keys).  Even though we can essentially force a massive short squeeze by withdrawing everything...

We never do.

Sounds great, wish that could be retrofitted to my car.

I actually did the cardboard thing last winter, I have trouble getting the car really hot. One of the reasons I'm changing the fluid, I'm gonna flush the heatpack.

Typically the points are done solid state and you just have a coil per plug or cylinder (coil packs). So no need to be switching high voltages around and no moving parts.

Fans are no longer driven with fan belts either No more shoving cardboard down the front of the radiator on cold days.

I have been meaning to post one of my "Can you feel it?  I can." posts for days now.  So i missed out on looking smart... lol/  But I do STILL feel it... We are not done yet, I don't think.

Hahaha, no I'm not bearish I'm just saying last year was in that range so fucking long never seeing that range again makes all the rest gravy.

I still think we will see $50k before $25k, actually I will be surprised if we ever see $27500 again.

I don't really remember it that way. I do recall cryptography got a side-mention at one point in the form of message signing.

I want to see how to set up as a swap provider.

There is a fairly rocking arb opportunity here, I think.

   I don't claim to know anything about how it works, but I had assumed the exchange rate would be far better for the XMR 'seller'; an incentive to take on the probably tainted BTC.  Perhaps that will be a user dictated parameter as the testing moves forward?  Amazing work.  I hadn't believed that the project would move this fast.

Please give a review here when you have seen the pilot.

Also this. I did not looked at it like something super important, but if it will be fixed like this will be magnificent. With decentralised pools 51% pool attacks are impossible.  https://old.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/p9apyd/psa_monero_decentralized_mining_pool_p2pool/

 Damn.  That's a death blow.

Another great short opportunity is upon us.

My all time favorite book yay, thanks for posting that cant wait

I am skeptical, There is no black woman in the books and they are not action packed "war in space" type stories.
I will download some episodes ( I assume it's a series) for free when they are available on TPB to see if it's anything worth paying money for.

Edit: My favourite books too, and the first "real" sciFi books I read.

this is Jay's shortest post I've ever seen

I gotta say I chortled out loud on JJG's shortest post eva!

Cheers! My 400th post. <3
