My gut feeling tells me this spring would create the same result every time, because the initial conditions are the same. Unless the spring tension varies, in that case the spring tension becomes your random and you need to make sure there's no bias in it. Or the way you load the coin into the machine.
Just for fun: here's a Machine Flips a Coin 10,000 Times.

That would mean only one customer per ISP can get paid to run a node. One way or another, this is a terrible "solution" for something that isn't even a problem.

I'd say it's the other way around: the hash rate is high because miners earn money. If nodes would earn money, running a node would be futile, you'd need to run thousands of nodes to earn money, and we'd say nodes are expensive to run.

Without attacks and competition, one computer could run the entire Bitcoin network at difficulty 1.

Someone asked me to look into github.com/Kixunil/btc-rpc-proxy, but I'm in over my head:

Does anyone here have experience with btc-rpc-proxy?

I've had 10 connections for as long as I can remember, so I guess it's normal

You're speculating, and missing the most important thing:
You would have been better off buying lump sum in week 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8. In a way, DCA is trying to time the market, assuming it's going to drop. If that's what you believe, just wait. Some people are still waiting to buy Bitcoin at $200.

So they're finally honest about leaking all seed phrases to the internet :O

Hence my question: if someone in Cuba were to earn $20 in Bitcoin, does that mean it gives him more purchasing power than his salary? Or does that add another level of getting screwed somehow?

Guys.... OP is on my ignore list, and he's banned. He created 71 topics so far, and it's obvious he only creates them for the sake of creating them. There's no point in replying.

Without automated payments, many people will forget to pay, and find out they don't have car insurance when they need it.

Touché!

According to Google, Cuba's GDP per capita is $9500 (in 2020). That's more than Mexico, and 4 times more than India. But Worldometers.info shows N/A, so I believe the exchange rate can be a tricky thing in this case. If there's no free exchange of currency, you can't compare it in dollars.

I've seen them, but never tried. If I have to go DYI, I can just as well sign offline. Most people want something convenient.

The timeline has many good things, but somehow corporate interests dictate almost everything nowadays. Isn't that one of the major flaws in capitalism: money gets more and more concentrated, until there's nothing left for most people and a few own everything?

Out of curiosity a lot is possible You can install a Linux shell on your phone, and start from there. Compile it from source.
I wouldn't use a very old phone, you're going to need enough RAM. I'd say give it a few years, storage capacity increases faster than the blockchain size.

How about Copper Member Newbie jiso? His posts look like generic AI spam, but I can't really prove it.

Don't forget the "extra power if you pay $60 or $90 per month" and "extra range if you pay extra" (I can't find back the link) features

People said the same thing when Microsoft started selling software subscriptions, now they're all using it. I think it started with anti-virus-subscriptions, then got worse. Streaming services got people used to paying instead of owning movies too. We're moving more and more towards a future without ownership and monthly payments for everything you use. That's not something I like. We now have (electric) bicycles and mopeds, paid by the minute. Car sharing paid by the hour. I live in a cycling country, and more and more people rent one. It's a strongly growing industry at the moment.
How did we get here from wallets? Basically, we went from very cheap "paper wallets" in any possible form to very convenient "hardware wallets" to skip the trouble of manual offline signing, to a monthly subscription model. That reminds me of stock brokers, where you pay them an annual fee to keep your funds. I do indeed hope people vote with their wallet!

If that's the case, why do you calculate the price of eggs in dollars, and not in pesos? It can't be that a box of eggs costs two thirds of your monthly salary. If that's the case, you'd have starved to death by now. So I'm curious: how many Cuban pesos do you spend on your groceries each month?

I've never been there, but I've read about it a few times. It sucks for the people
If eggs would be that expensive, I'd eat something else. I still don't get it though: hatching chickens is no rocket science. If someone has a a few hens and a rooster, they'll basically multiply themselves and eat whatever they can find.

So, if a Cuban citizen were to earn 1 mBTC (worth $28.73 at the moment), would he be able to use that money? How many pesos would he get for that? If exchange rates are that twisted, what's the point of converting? Do you need dollars for daily expenses? I don't get it: if trading and imports are expensive, can't the (tropical) country focus on producing for it's own needs? It looks like a beautiful place, and it's such a waste to see it in poverty.

For reference: if I sell 1 mBTC, I'll get €26.10 (after transaction fees). That's enough to buy 88 eggs in a supermarket. And eggs already got a lot more expensive lately, because of inflation and regulation that improves living conditions for chickens.

There's even one in the Play Store, but reviews aren't promising.

I don't really see the point of doing this. It's much better to connect a mobile wallet to your own node. Or even it's default node. I wouldn't want 550 GB on my mobile, even if it has enough storage, bandwidth and processing power.

It won't matter, the damage was done the moment they confirmed it's possible to extract the seed from the hardware wallet and send it through the internet.
They just couldn't be happy with customers buying their product, they just had to go down the route of "subscriptions". Just like more and more car manufacturers are doing now, just like software manufacturers are doing, and just like phone providers have been doing for decades. It used to be: "If you're not paying for a product, you are the product". Now, even if you buy a product and pay for it, you're still the product and they still want more money from you.

That's the risk of replying to a thread that is posted on the wrong board. But it shouldn't matter, you used to post because you want to, and I assume you still do that.

Most campaign managers check your new posts made in the past week, so deleting older posts reduces your total post count, but shouldn't affect your earnings. Unless the posts were created in the last week of course.

Did didn't happen during your absence, it happened right when you posted the link. It's good practice to read your own posts after posting.
