When two of the youngest ones in the house start jumping the bed at 5am, me thought "fuck, is this real?".
Next thing, as usual, was checking the price via blockfolio, me thought "FUCK, IS THIS REAL?!"

Promise. That's the manufacturer name i was searching my memories for, almost drove me mad.
THX!

If you're ok with (t)hat 

I disagree. A simple misunderstanding (through under-communication by myself) could be the key.
Occam's razor is about choosing theories/hypotheses over another by using reduction.

For example, the question "why don't people just move...?" isn't going to be fully answered by applying the most simple hypothesis
Here, under knowledge about as many complex relations of the problem as possible, the most detailed answer would meet the needs.
If i didn't misunderstand.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that i feel definitely more relaxed since corn is correcting 

Let's peek into complex system theory a bit.
One rule of (handling) complexity says: "Simple answers to complex questions, as well as simple solutions for complex problems, are generally wrong / going to fail".

Nuff said.

If anybody continues joking about AIX (RS6000's), i'm gonna post about AS400's or S/390's
Fun fact: When travelling from an AIX based course at the IBM technology center in Montpellier, my car broke down in Aix de Provence.

Indeed. Banks run stoneage hardware (and systems). Most of the customers of the company i came in touch with Unixes and built-like-a-tank servers were banks.
Quite big ones, but Europe only.

EDIT: I guess nowadays they go with virtual machines.


These are made for crunching numbers 24/7. A different area, cooling wise. I've seen some videos where i could hear them miners, and i think any conventional server without a dozen of harddrives (not running at full load) would sound relatively quiet to me in comparison.
I'd cool them miners with water, or even let em run in a "bath of oil" if too many. Perfectly silent, only power supplies running in oil would need some kind of pump to distribute the heat a little better.
Air cooling outside of air conditioned rooms would be less effective, especially in summer.

I got one DS409+ and i only plug it in and switch it on when i need it (fifty times a year or so), to free up space on my work ssd(s), get old movies etc.
I bought it without disks, and because i knew how unreliable these are, i added four WD green 2TB hdds to the cart.
Two are used for mirroring, one as spare drive if one of the mirrors goes bad, one for backup of the NAS in case it breaks.
Most important, i reconfigured the hdd bios to disable power saving, which is parking the disk heads too often (after 5 secs was the default, iircc), and this puts so much stress on the drive that it would die in any NAS before even reaching end of warranty. Well, my data doesn't care about warranty.
To date, and the unit is about 17 years old now, i had no failures at all.
 
It would not be too hard to mirror drives and let them be read separately by mounting them into a PC, technically, but most every manufacturer is working with filesystems that are only readable when all drives and the data are intact. There were some controllers back then, i don't remember the name at all.
This would save a lot of trouble.

Pro Tip: Keep all (!) the hardware redundant.


If the damn things weren't so fucking LOUD. At least IBM xSeries delivered some realtively quiet rack servers, but all the HP, Sun and (IBM) AIX server hardware i've put my hands on so far were screaming loud.

Always worth a visit 

But the numbers can't be number of WO Posts. Maybe number of merits send to WO posts, or something in combination with the post count, possibly even more factors playing a role in computation of the values?

I can't go to sleep now, i want to see if China is going to breach this triangle...
cryptowat.ch has me

Certainly not word count. JJG's score would be too high to fit on one line below his hat

Thanks 
Interestingly, "Tyler Durden" was one of my very old nicknames i used somewhere else.

To become a real Legend, one has to die.

real news, certainly not for everyone:



Each post to the WO thread is like a heartbeat* of this forum, imo.

EDIT: I got some more of such comparisons. You can look at the same thing in many different ways  

EDIT2: * just recognized the title of icopress' post
is "Re: Heartbeat bitcointalk". I may have picked that up unconsciously before writing my reply to Hhampuz' salute to WO.

The rollercoaster bitcoin holds on to the helicopter rails. Could have worked that lil detail out a little better, though.

EDIT: Oh, and the chart is not current as well  

These look more like monkeys to me 

How about this well known dude?

And i got that adriatic present at noon CET.
Six hours later, i finally threw the shovel and stopped getting the snow away, because there is no more room left to get it to  
The weather report said 10-40cm, now we look at a respectable 70cm wall of snowflakes in our gateway, and we're by far the more lucky area than in the southern alps.
The flakes are light and dry, lying on frozen, slippery snow. This means avalanches!  
I'd be glad if we make it until thursday without a power outage...

Haven't had the time to watch the price action, but i appreciate the pullback, which is calming me down.
My wife is deciding if she will terminate her life insurance and put some kilodollars into bitcoin, so i'd be thankful for a little sidewinder action until the end of january.


Dude, you had to use the "d"-word, didn't you?    

my sunday haiku
bitcoin on a steady rise
thanks to low supply

checked WO
we have reached page parity
so what? this is fine!

Exactly. 2021 is where the real fun will be going off 

I guess it's really the supply of new and moving coins. Consider the next halving (!), not to speak of the next one after (!!).
I will be calm as fuck by that time then.
Retrospectively, i pinned down the source of my uncertainty, and it's the Q4 of 2017. Titter influencers constantly writing about $50k+ tops in Q1/2018, when the price already charted a nice parabola, followed by the setback/"crash" that led the 2018 bear market. The experience of this made me less optimistic on bull runs, but those were different fundamentals back then, including my noobness to the market, when i also did some trading back then (right into the bear's hands, of course).
Like JJG said, more often than once...


And it is  

Me too. Only a little, though.
It's our small stashs and we're relatively new to BTC, i guess. (one cycle)


Nope. I'd expect a significant short term pullback (15%+) after going parabolic, but we were not really close yet.

But don't you also buy the debt of greece then?
