If this is true, and its hard to tell without the complete forensics..he is about to enter another larger world of shit.

I am almost sure at least someone here must know his fucking shit about video projectors.... Am I wrong?

I need a *BUDGET* long throw OUTDOORS projector (around 5+ meters to the wall) .... Any suggestions? I know you guys know.....

Not that much resolution needed, as the viewing point will be like 15-20 meters (the other end of the pool)  or more from the projected wall. It's brilliance and contrast what I need.




P.S.: Inb4 someone starts screming offtopic let's just say this is *wall observing* at its finest, you know.

Are you me?  I was pondering this today.


Hahhaa, then we need this to be resolved like already. What's your budget? Me, being the poor miserable fucker I am, plan to spend less than $200. I know it would be possible since I already saw the performance of a much older and cheaper (around $120 Excelvan brand) projector that was more or less satisfactory even if just barely. But I want MORE. More brilliance mostly. And I need it now, as I am already filling the pool.

I am afraid that I am letting the team down. I have the design on my counter and contract in my inbox.  Still about 3 - 4 months away from being able to fill it.  

What are you projecting onto ?  Just white paint?

Academics teaching the controversy incidentally admit defeat not just for little fraud pricks such as Craig Wright, but for all fiat financial institutions.

...a valid signature does not automatically provide proof that the owner of the corresponding private key has produced the signature. Instead, it provides a guarantee that a holder of the private key has initiated the transaction. The use of a private key underpins the presumption that a transaction was authorised. In the context of cryptoassets, the notion of custody thus no longer refers to the direct holding of assets but to the secure storage of cryptographic keys. Despite this functional equivalence, it is far from straightforward that (exclusive) knowledge of a private key is equivalent for all purposes to legal possession.23

There is no title in bitcoin.

Agreed, mostly. 

They say possession is 9/10ths of the law.

In Bitcoin, there is no possession, there is only control.  

Control is 9/10ths of the law for Bitcoin.  

Not your keys, not your Bitcoin.

I am not sure I understand the goals of libertarians. If they want to build their own country, they have to be able to defend it.  

A small group of 40 - 50 heavily armed people will never do. A decent defense force means a large population and a taxation systems to support it. Gathering a large population is easy, you simply need to gather the world’s refugees and offer them something better.  You might even gain the support of Western governments if you promise to take their unwanted refugee claimants. Israel was invented to house Jewish refugees and the model is replicable.

But all you have done is recreate the existing state system, with taxes. And that doesn’t seem to be the point.


I think their utopistic point is that in a libertarian world, organisations would adopt sound money (say, BTC) instead of FIAT Money (money that can be printed at will to finance any implausible war a government would want to fight), every nation-scale war would be simply too dear to finance, hence the necessity of every national scale defense would be unnecessary.

F. A. Hayek once said: I do not think it is an exaggeration to say history is largely a history of inflation, usually inflations engineered by governments for the gain of governments.

Another important point is the fundamental difference regarding the approach. In the current system the approach is TOP DOWN: you have to pay taxes because the government decided you have to. In the second system you have to pay the “fees” because you exercise the option to join that particular community. The outcome of paying might be similar, but the underlying logic is totally different.


That’s an interesting point about wars being too expensive to fight. I will need to think about that further.

The US did fine for 137 years with no income tax. Tariffs alone could be enough to support a reasonable, modern military. Maybe throw in corporate taxes so you can weaponize space.


Edit: I also realized r0ach has been gone for a while.
Theories: 1)He's on vacation with V8,  2)He was touring the Notre Dame spire today, 3)He's staying in a small seastead off the coast of Thailand.

Tarriffs are a tax - just levied on imports instead of income.  Effectively a consumption tax like VAT.

Of course if you impose tariffs you will trigger a trade war and your exports will be hit.

56,000 sats is holding, albeit on very low and declining volume.  

Daily 10 Moving Average, 20 Moving Average and 30 Moving Average all remain in inverted bearish formation (Green, Yellow and Orange respectively).

He is still inside the Thai Exclusive Economic Zone, 12 miles off the coast of Phuket.  The Thais have the right to control navigation within the EEZ, which is why they are claiming in the article that he is blocking shipping.









Edit: I googled the United Nations Law of the Sea which can be downloaded in pdf here:

https://www.un.org/depts/los/convention_agreements/texts/unclos/unclos_e.pdf

Article 60 is clear that seasteads which are outside territorial waters are still under the jurisdiction of the coastal state if within the EEZ.  I would say he needs to move to more than 200 miles offshore to be out of Thai jurisdiction.  

Quote
Article 60

Artificial islands, installations and structures in the exclusive economic zone

1.   In the exclusive economic zone, the coastal State shall have the exclusive right to construct and to authorize and regulate the construction, operation and use of:

(a)   artificial islands;

(b)   installations and structures for the purposes provided for in article 56 and other economic purposes;

(c)   installations and structures which may interfere with the exercise of the rights of the coastal State in the zone.

2.   The coastal State shall have exclusive jurisdiction over such artificial islands, installations and structures, including jurisdiction with regard to customs, fiscal, health, safety and immigration laws and regulations.

3.   Due notice must be given of the construction of such artificial islands, installations or structures, and permanent means for giving warning of their presence must be maintained. Any installations or structures which are abandoned or disused shall be removed to ensure safety of navigation, taking into account any generally accepted international standards established in this regard by the competent international organization. Such removal shall also have due regard to fishing, the protection of the marine environment and the rights and duties of other States. Appropriate publicity shall be given to the depth, position and dimensions of any installations or structures not entirely removed.

4.   The coastal State may, where necessary, establish reasonable safety zones around such artificial islands, installations and structures in which it may take appropriate measures to ensure the safety both of navigation and of the artificial islands, installations and structures.

5.   The breadth of the safety zones shall be determined by the coastal State, taking into account applicable international standards. Such zones shall be designed to ensure that they are reasonably related to the nature and function of the artificial islands, installations or structures, and shall not exceed a distance of 500 metres around them, measured from each point of their outer edge, except as authorized by generally accepted international standards or as recommended by the competent international organization. Due notice shall be given of the extent of safety zones.

6.   All ships must respect these safety zones and shall comply with generally accepted international standards regarding navigation in the vicinity of artificial islands, installations, structures and safety zones.

7.   Artificial islands, installations and structures and the safety zones around them may not be established where interference may be caused to the use of recognized sea lanes essential to international navigation.

8.   Artificial islands, installations and structures do not possess the status of islands. They have no territorial sea of their own, and their presence does not affect the delimitation of the territorial sea, the exclusive economic zone or the continental shelf.

I'm just going to leave this here :

Seasteader in legal troubles, platform to be removed......

https://www.bangkokpost.com/news/general/1661300/seastead-couple-in-crosshairs

Edit: He's possibly in very big trouble here if they proceed with the charges as mentioned.

Ack! Death Penalty! Really!

It's a message.  Go away quietly and quickly.  Don't stay and fight.  

It's a long way to go but maybe somewhere like Micronesia would appreciate the publicity and revenue.

The article suggests the Thais are willing to forget the whole thing if he tows it somewhere else.  Which seems to the simplest solution, albeit expensive in tow fees.

The harder question is where to tow it to.

If you ever feel like cracking, put your coins into deep cold storage, log off this forum and go do something else for two years that has nothing to do with crypto. 

Come back in mid 2021.

You can thank me later.

Also voted yes.

Expecting at least one more dump and that'll be the one I am going to put lots of real money on btc. If it directly heads towards $50-100k without making that dump however, It is still fine by me but that's not what I expect.

That'll be the one I'll probably take my stack to double digits.

That is exactly the reason why the big dump won't happen. You and many others will have to buy at $10k+ when you will finally realize there will be no dump.  Cool  Go BTC go!

So what your saying is there are enough 'idio....er...' I mean 'enlightened types like myself in FULL HODL MODE who won't crack under the pressure till say over $10k.

Damn, I hope you are right. This last  year I feel like I'm alone, standing in a blizzard with no clothes' Sad



If you haven’t cracked on the way down, you won’t crack on the way up.

Wondering who are thinking that we will go back to $3k 🤔

I actually think there is a good chance we will briefly see the high $2Ks in a final wave 5 shakeout.

Nah.  Every man and his dog would be buying with both hands. Which means it will never happen.  The fear is gone.

I use exclusively LIFO.  Tax delayed is tax unpaid. But I’m not in the US.
2420  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: April 14, 2019, 01:06:27 AM
Does anybody know if there are rules about switching between LIFO and FIFO?

my duckduckfu is failing me

I would be very surprised if you could switch in relation to the same asset. You might be able to apply different rules to different assets.

Edit:  this suggests using FIFO on a wallet by wallet basis.
