Or they'll just "cancel" the campaign after the application thread is flooded with scam warning posts. They get a few days of free promotion and can blame the "trolls".

Great, I think a self-imposed lockdown is the right solution for you. How are you going to detect vaccinated infiltrators if they try to breach the perimeter pretending to be unvaccinated?


I would suggest less beans in your diet.

I wouldn't say I'm complaining, it doesn't really affect me in any significant way.

I'm quite certain any such green schemes simply won't work but Elon is welcome to fork Bitcoin into proof-of-tweet if he's not happy about mining.

It's more likely the fault of the bounty manager who hired shitty participants. The OP didn't provide any proof of what the original agreement was and who broke it. I wouldn't be surprised if BountyDetective lied to both sides (to the "CEO" about the quality of the promotion, and to the bounty participants about why they're not getting paid).

It's a fairly simple supply/demand equation, albeit slightly complicated by BTC volatility and the correlated risks. If it's very profitable to mine, the difficulty will rise until it's not, so the window of opportunity - especially for a smaller miner who doesn't benefit from high volume electric rates etc - is quite small. If this has any effect on price (which I doubt considering mining volumes and trading volumes) then it's likely a drag in bear season (miners need to sell more coins to pay the bills) and less selling pressure in bull season (miners can afford to hodl), so basically mildly negative.

Anyway, my point is that if someone wanted to use renewables, even at a loss for all I care, they could already do it, so all these tweets and meetings and shit do nothing for the environment, nothing for Bitcoin, maybe some new trolling material for Elon and a few pointless jobs for some college dropouts to create a Powerpoint on "transparency".

Put up a couple of panels for show, call it the primary energy source, get the other 99% from the grid and call it a backup because it's sometimes cloudy. I'm sure I'm just scratching the surface here of what corporate weasels can come up with to call themselves "green". Especially when there is a petulant billionaire tweeting nonsense and interfering with their business.

For all the praise Saylor gets, the bottom line is that he's pumping Bitcoin with OPM and basically running a Bitcoin ETF. I'm genuinely surprised how bitcoiners - typically distrustful of everyone and everything related to Walls Street / banks / big corps / etc think that this is a good idea.


Nah. I just find it really hypocritical for those suits to try and make it look like they're doing us all a favor talking about "transparency" and "renewables".


Except for the last few months and brief periods in the past, Bitcoin mining is marginally profitable at best, and only with the cheapest power. Which in North America often happens to be renewable (hydro in Washington or Quebec, govt subsidized solar panels, etc) but that's basically just a coincidence. I doubt that any sane large scale miner would switch their farm to 100% renewables unless it's the cheapest option, otherwise they'll be out of business when Bitcoin crashes and/or difficulty goes up.

I also doubt they would want to regulate themselves out of existence nor do they have the lobbying clout to get subsidies... but they might need to suck up to govt/banks/etc in some way and buy some solar panels from Elon. Again, a mighty ironic place for Bitcoin miners to be and mostly because some wall street brats pretend to be our friends while tweeting stupid shit.

I'm genuinely amazed that some "leading" miners no one's heard of before are going along with this wall street bro charade. I've been mining with hydro power since like 2015, where's my fucking medal LOL. But the reality always was that mining is going to happen where power is cheap. Which means renewables where renewables are cheap and I don't think any tweets about meetings will change that.

Note that they're are not even saying they'll change anything: "decided to establish an organization to standardize energy reporting, pursue industry ESG goals, & educate+grow the marketplace", which sounds like some top-notch corporate bullshit to please some possibly squirming fund managers who may have thought about dumping MSTR stock.

You need to slice the 3D model into layers and convert it to printer commands before you can actually print it. Slicing software also adds supports for overhangs, sets infill type, etc.

He was replying to PMs as recently as February so obviously post count means nothing but don't let that get in the way of your shitposting.

I wouldn't want to speculate on "why" but I do hope that someone similarly strict will be appointed in frodo's place. Despite some complaints, those boards are a pleasure to read compared to the rest of Bitcointalk and we do need at least some part of the forum to remain like that.

I'm quite sure franky1 was talking about COVID-19 vaccines that require two shots, three weeks (Pfizer) or four weeks (Moderna) apart.

At the very least, if such a thing happens you should create a proper scam accusation with proof of what was promised and proof of what was delivered (or not delivered). Unlike some users that pop in here, dump a bunch of screenshots from telegram or some shit like that, and expect others to do the legwork and figure out who's right.

That is if you really care about warning other users. As others explained above that's about the only thing that's really possible. You won't be able to extract the money if there was no escrow and the "project" refuses to pay.


Are you ok?

Oh so Elon spoke with "North American miners"... well, he certainly didn't speak with me so right there I already know he's full of shit.

Why the fuck are you shitbumping this topic with these stupid shillpuppet accounts? This is not a fucking bounty board.

It actually is killing young and/or healthy people. Perhaps you meant it's killing more old people than young people, but it's also important to keep in mind that a young person can infect an old person.

Will bitcoin pump above $40,000 this week?

I mean... do we really need a new speculation thread about every friggin' price point? It's Bitcoin, it goes up and it goes down and it goes up and you get the idea.

If I were a dictator moderator of the speculation board I would allow one bull thread, one bear thread, and WO. Any other thread better have a really good novel topic, not some generic "number go down" or "number go up" stuff.

Who cares... that dominance shit is fake AF.

I mean - issue a quadrillion of stupid tokens and now BTC "market share" gets diluted by $100 million? Doesn't make any sense.

Or you can get off your ass and vote instead of wasting your energy posting stupid shit here.


Didn't he become a trumpling after Bernie lost? So wasn't a real "commie" anyway.

Be careful what you wish for. Unlike BTC, most altcoins are using this forum for promotion and AFAIK that's one of the reasons to not allow giveaways, to contain altcoins to their specific boards, etc - because otherwise it would turn into uncontrollable spamming shitshow. As discussed above, this might be somewhat mitigated by allowing only well-established ones but some of those like ETH have huge fees too and there's a bunch of scammy ones even in CMC top 10, so how exactly would you pick which ones to favor?

Or we could stick to Bitcoin and promote LN (or whatever the current scaling panacea is) instead. It seems counterproductive to cater to the specific use cases unless BTC is fit for those use cases. If it doesn't work for small giveaways - don't do small giveaways. Otherwise it'd be like allowing to discuss ETH on the Dev & Tech board because Bitcoin doesn't support ERC20 and we really want to talk about ERC20.
