2921  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 🌐 Filecoin Mining l Discussion on: September 08, 2021, 07:45:38 PM
According to the news, Filecoin storage is expanding rapidly ... "The global community of Filecoin storage providers has dedicated over 10(EiB) of decentralized storage capacity to the FIL network. 10EiB is equivalent to 190 Internet Archives, 45,000 Wiki, and 6,850,000 years worth of video calls". But no matter how good it sounds, the minimum entry threshold remains VERY high, (the min required FIL volume has decreased and is now 580FIL*$80 = $46k).

Answering my own question ... and the question that has appeared in this thread more than once ... I found a simple calculator that displays the required collateral in real time in relation to 1TiB. At the moment, this number is varied at 6 FIL, which means if you have 100TiB (equipment for $ 12,000) you need a three-fold lock, equivalent to 600FIL ($ 36,000).

Frankly speaking, these are terrifying but real numbers, which actually throw payback for a year and a half and the minimum acceptable entry threshold is equal to $ 50,000. In case anyone is interested ... everything fell into place when I rummaged a little in the specifications / Clause 2.6.3.

I think your investigation does not make any sense, and I will explain why ... Looking through the history of airfinex messages, I noticed a few phrases in French, but obviously he speaks Russian and with all this he says goodbye in Swedish or Swiss (although I'm not sure what it is Swedish phrase).

In addition, his frequent quotes with reference to Theymos' words about confidentiality as an argument make me think that this guy is not an idiot and added this ETH address just for a diversion. If so, then you wasted your time on this investigation. Sad
2925  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: 2021, time for a new general & diff speculation thread... on: September 08, 2021, 05:53:56 PM
Well, you indicated three-year intervals, so it is possible that soon we will see an even deeper correction.

And I have a feeling that the decrease in the mining difficulty against the background of the Chinese news was not the last, because if we compare the phrase "Price is increasing faster than difficulty" and the daily chart of the Bitcoin price, then I would not expect new difficulty peaks in the foreseeable future. Although as long as the price of bitcoin is above $ 40,000, mining is still very highly profitable, so the next difficulty adjustment is likely to be positive as well.

According to what I read on the news, legal tender in countries like El Salvador is exactly that, people do not have the right to reject it, but legal tender in some countries like US is not like that, you still have the option to accept it or not but it is a legal form of payment.
It seems to me that something quite different was meant ... the government of El Salvador does not infringe upon the rights of citizens regarding the methods of payment for goods and services, but only added one more to the existing methods of payment. Correct me if I am wrong or if I misunderstood you.

Whenever I want to open my wallet the following error message appears, is there already a solution for this?
[...] I use Wallet 3.3.2 and a new installation are no success.
Are you using Windows, Mac OS or Linux?

Is this smart contract capable like ethereum
Unlike Ethereum smart contracts, Obyte smart contracts are available to both developers and users. In addition, each transaction in the ETH smart contract costs gas ... "if a developer added a function that needs to go through the growing list of user addresses, the cost of executing that function will also go up as the list gets longer, and ETH throughput is limited with block size, so when there are more users, the fees go up too". This is just a small part of what to chat about, so if you visit this page and spend a few minutes you will find out more, including Features built-into Obyte, Cost predictability and differences in programming languages.

Their school of training young talents is undoubtedly one of the best in the world, but as far as I understand, most of the Barcelona leadership is cultivating these talents for other clubs, thereby trying to pay off debts. Not that I was a good football expert, but after Messi left, the club's management should reconsider its policy in order to patch the transfer holes and prepare for new painful blows and defeats. I suppose this season we will not see Barcelona even in the TOP 3.

I predicted a tie for that game in the pool, but I really hope Norwich wins.  Three games into the season and Arsenal has yet to score a goal, I want heads on spikes (figuratively, of course.)  If no action is taken after this start, maybe a loss to a promoted team will make Kroenke notice that changes are necessary.  I've never seen Arsenal have such a slow start, and at this rate they look like a team bound for relegation.
I have a thought that will not appeal to Arsenal fans, but will probably benefit the club itself. I think it would be useful for Arsenal to retire from the PL to the minor league for a year to revive, although even under the current circumstances it seems unlikely because by and large they only need to win 10 games. But if this happens anyway, even though it will benefit the club, it will also be a serious blow to Arsenal's self-esteem as one of the founding clubs of the PL.

According to flashscore.com, this game was interrupted after playing for less than 10 minutes



Does this mean the bet will be voided or will it stays active until this game is played on another date? This is the first time we had this situation for our BJ special
Man, don't worry! All bets will be refunded ... at least judging by the identical situation. After all, we have already encountered a similar one, the match Manchester United - Liverpool was suspended and postponed, (due to the protests of fans addressed to the owner of Manchester United).

My 2 cents ... At first I also thought it was a loophole, but it turned out to be not entirely true. [Editing it after being caught doesn't absolve them (c)]. I mean that global mods definitely use archives, although preference is given to global archival services and not to those archives that were created by someone from the forum participants, (although I can't talk about the preferences of all global mods).

It's just that no one noticed the mutual exclusion this week and the previous week by one of those guys who keep repeating that he (they) is a DT, that his (their) words are constantly attacked and, most importantly, there is nothing worse than mutual exclusion based on anger. But everyone is already so tired of this shit that people have long ceased to attach importance to it, so in recent months we have been living without hot discussions. Wink
2938  Economy / Economics / Re: El Salvador retirees protest against Bitcoin as legal tender on: September 04, 2021, 05:24:58 PM
They are NOT “protesting against Bitcoin”, they’re protesting against the laws that FORCE them to accept Bitcoin. I already said it in another thread that accepting Bitcoin legal tender is OK, but forcing the people to accept it without giving them the right to say “NO” will be a problem. El Salvador should let Bitcoin be used in its own merit.
Man, be realistic ... after all it is absolutely not important what these people are protesting against, this is just a formality. Those who have hired these people have a single goal - to create a negative media background around Bitcoin. At least being a resident of the same corrupt country as El Salvador, I have something to compare with ... when every four years during elections, officials put pressure on people working in the budgetary sectors of the economy, when all the protests are paid from the state funds. Therefore, for me this news is fiction (knowing that such a protest can only cost a few thousand dollars).
2939  Economy / Reputation / Re: legendster and the story of retaliatory feedbacks on: September 04, 2021, 04:41:23 PM
Looks like someone has again added YOSHIE'S friend legendster to their trust list as he is again on DT now. @Theymos if you have eyes please see and stop the manipulation of this trust system before it becomes a joke and people don't even take it seriously.
The question is really relevant when this guy is on the DT list, but I'm wondering something else ... What was the reason legendster marked your main account with a red tag? Since it seems to me unlikely that you brought up this issue for discussion if you were protecting only your alt'uncensored account. In any case, I really see some biased response on the part of legendster, so I also decided to exclude him (until someone else does it or until there is visible progress).

Честно говоря введенные ограничения такого рода практически не имеют смысла ... Я как сейчас помню март и апрель этого года, (или около того), когда буквально за месяц-два зарегистрировалось 200,000 новых акков. Не то чтобы я был скептиком, но это ненормальная активность при том что бот Mitchell работал во всю, (единственно разумное объяснение, кто-то нашел не юзаный диапазон IP-адресов). Я веду к тому, что те кому нужно - трахнут систему, для реальных же пользователей, это будет морально непреодолимый барьер, особенно учитывая что почти каждый кто попробует зарегистрироваться используя Tor, столкнётся с суровой реальностью, (кстати, я не уверен на счет brave/tor).
