If any of those fairytale resources would be indeed there, not like the 1 quadrillion tons of gold discovered in Ghana there would have been at least attempts at mining them in 20 years, right?
If the USA would be that keen on exploiting resources in invaded countries we would have seen them mining them, and they wouldn't have retreated, right? You would have had only US companies exploring oil in Irak and nor the major oil fields run by China and Russia.

It's the same story, if a country gets into conflict with the US suddenly there are quadrillions of trillions of resources that the Americans want, when they retreat from there suddenly it's a different story, they went there ...for popcorn.


Weird how countries that have been helped by the US and have not sunk bank to being religious zealots are doing quite fine, let's look at South Korea and Japan, countries that have been "helped" by Russia and China on the other hand....

It can't be the first time since the first time already happened:
https://cointelegraph.com/news/crypto-miners-in-texas-shut-down-operations-as-state-experiences-extreme-heat-wave

And it was clear in the hashrate
From the start of June at 216.54 EH/s it dropped to 198.15 EH/s only to recover at full speed the moment the heat wave was over by growing to221.72 EH/s the last adjustment.

And you can read about that directly from riot:

The thing that matters is on which site you bet, I use betfair as bet365 is really messy when it comes to amended results, if your horse is declared a winner after the race you still lose, if it's promoted to winner yous till lose.
So betfair uses fractional fixed-odds, you put your bet at a fixed odds and that's it, you can bet fixed odds for UK , Ireland or US.

I kind of dislike parimutuel sites because at least in my experience it's heavily manipulated, I saw pools raising 10x times in a matter of seconds and then not moving a penny, kind of fishy, probably from bookmaker to bookmaker.


I use oddschecker.com for the fixed odds, for tote betting you can go to tote.co.uk which covers again both Ire and UK races.

Two interesting races at Leopardstown today, but I'm sitting those out, it's again O'Brien fielding more favorites and as usual there is a mess of it, I've learned the hard way not to bet on or against his horses that have who few races, and in the Champion Stakes is Vadeni race to lose, maybe an 1-2 with Luxembourg for fun.

Made up story to catch a few merits?


Good, then lets' hear the details
What bank, what location, so we can go there ourselves and check if the ATMs are really closed.  


Gmaps link? I'm really curious why you're asking people to see "the reality" with their own eyes but you don't provide any info.
Not even the name of the bank, which is a bit weird.


Doesn't make sense, rather than having to employ people they can easily add another ATM, those are way cheaper than any worker, even if we talk about well below average wages.


Never heard of such a thing in my life, I know of special ATMs that are meant for all the possible transactions including deposits and currency exchange to be locked inside the bank and only available at banking ours, but normal ATMs with a schedule? No way!

Two things here
It's a proposal from the White House IF some things don't work to try and persuade congress to issue legislation against PoW. Which will happen if ever like in a decade or so, maybe the democrats whon;t be in power by that time at all.

But at the same time, comparisons like this are simple, let me be truly honest, stupid!


Let me ask you a simple question, how long will you and your family survive if PoW is banned? What will change radically for you?
Let's now compare your life with no transportation, no industry no usage of fossil fuel. How long do you think the world economy will last?

Yes, there are really stupid things that burn a ton more energy than PoW, I would love to see some numbers comparing how much energy GPU mining for ETH burns compared to the GPU editing clips for youtube and TikTok, but for god's sake, don't compare with stuff without which the world would collapse in a month.Those comparisons are just as stupid as the whole idea of banning crypto mining.


The influence will be minimal because all the countries in the EU and in east Asia that might take further steps already have high electricity prices and the number of miners here is just minimal. I was talking to some friends who are in GPU mining and they've said that even without the Ethereum change the returns are just ridiculous. If I were to mine on national grid prices I would be listing my miners now on eBay in a second.

Only two countries would matter Canada and Australia, both of which have like a ton of energy that can't go anywhere.
But overall yeah, IF this actually happens it would be bad.

Straight to the point, with the disclaimer that most of the times when I give advice in betting it's a disaster, and the only reason why I'm on a positive balance is constant betting on jockey trainer combinations and a lot, I mean a LOT of luck in the last moments of a race. 

This Sunday, three races I'm eager to see

Cazoo St Leger Stakes
Everyone is going nuts for New London, 4/5, I guess yeah, the highest rating, proved himself twice in a row quite impressive but at those odds, it's no fun so I will go with an each way on Haskoy, unbeaten filly, probably still learning but has shown it knows how to finish a race, look entertaining enough for a bet.
Last race of Haskoy (she's near the rail)
https://www.racingtv.com/videos/watch/horse_racing_replays/405877-british-ebf-sir-henry-cecil-galtres-stakes-listed-1

Coral Doncaster Cup Stakes
This is Trueshan race to lose, he did break his record on a different ground but is still an obvious favorite, odds are ridiculous so better focus on the second place, Get Shirty and Coltrane, maybe with the latter coming up on top.

Coral Flying Childers Stakes
Two favorites with different styles of racing, The Platinum Queen 11/8 who likes to race from the front, and Trillium 2/1 who came  last to first twice in row, so completely going nuts, go for a trifecta with Trillium, The Platinum Queen and Crispy Cat. Why Crispy Cat? Because I like her name!  Also placing a bet on the first two, with obvious names.
Trillium last race, got to love how it did it
https://www.racingtv.com/results/uk/402349-goodwood/27-Jul-2022/1500
The Platinum Queen, second last race, just as impressive
https://www.racingtv.com/results/uk/402351-goodwood/27-Jul-2022/1645

Coral Champagne Stakes
Two 10/11 and 15/8 favorites and a three horse race, two horses unbeaten in the last two races, and the third was beaten less than a length by the favorite so this might be quite entertaining but I'm not finding anything to bet here to date.

Not looked at Irish Leger Stakes yet in detail but I saw something like 5 6/4 and lower favorites so, risks without much return..

This topic is about racing and gambling, so I would love to see posting people who know about gambling and how to do, it although I would love also discussions about why a horse is a favorite in this race, ground, trainer jockey combinations,  beating of a horse who was a previous winner, weight advantage. I will only focus on Uk and Irish racing, maybe throw in a few speculations about other Grade 1 races in Australia, US or Japan but I will stick to what I can see live and not stay till 5 am to watch a race.

So please no such thing as New London is a favorite, I'm sure he won because he won in the past.  

Unfortunately, I don't have time anymore to play on the exchange which is where the real money is being made but tips are always welcomed.
Most odds will be taken from betfair or paddypower.
You can watch replays for free :

Live is available on Betfair on the betting race, I don't know any legit free streaming service that covers all the races as I have the premium sports package but if anyone knows please post it. For other internet stream services, there is a ton of them but so full of ads and crap I will not recommend any to date.

Peaks are quite irrelevant, as consumption in those statistics are generalized for the entire quarter.
So if we take the 188 Twh for the Q3 IN 2021:
https://bitcoinminingcouncil.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/2021.10.19-Q3-BMC-Presentation-Materials-Final.pdf

It covers this period:


which is around a 100Exa average.
Compared to this, in this whole last quarter, we have the lowest value at 202Exa, so at least a 100% increase in hashrate for the lowest point compared to an approximate growth of only 33% in energy consumption, to me is a bit of wishful thinking to consider that much new gear has been deployed when the prices for it were though the roof the whole period, we actually have reached periods of 3 years ROI to some s19 versions.

I know those were the devices used but really, look at the situation, they grabbed the mice and keyboards and power cables and put them on a  table, I understand the mobile phones and the laptops as proof since obviously there are way too many phones for 4 individuals, but the power cables? Why not grab the chair and table they were sitting on while doing the scam? Why not grab the sockets from the wall and the copper wire which enabled the scam also?
My point was only on the stupid show-off, like when you have a murder and you proudly present a knife in the picture, of course, labeled "knife" since not everybody knows how a knife looks. This is just stupid!


A lot of them get easily caught, the only problem in finding them is that they reside in countries where they don't really give a damn about scams, it's not about the traceability but the share unwillingness of the police to do something.
I'm pretty sure these guys would have got away just as easily if, and I'm 100% sure we will find just a few weeks later, woundn't be spending money like crazy and buying tons of stuff while being probably unemployed. What's stopping them from leaving Bangladesh, going into a foreign country with BATM, withdrawing or dealing on the local market and getting all the fiat they needed? They don't even need to come back!

Weird
Napoleon the third didn't get the memo when it beat the crap out of you kicking you out of Crimea
Katsura Tarō didn't get the memo when you suffered the first defeat of a European power by an Asian one
Wilhelm II forgot about it when it kicked your asses to Siberia in ww1
Józef Piłsudski probably was unable to read back in 1922

I love how your history starts with Napoleon and goes straight to Hitler, then forget the rest.


That's what I was telling you about the so-called EUSSR, if you had lived truly under the USSR, you would know that this is the norm, the only times we were hearing stuff from the west were the ones when there were riots in the US and we had hours over hours of radio shows telling us the US is going through a civil war and victory was at hand, soon we will have two loaves of bread!!!!


Seriously, stick to the gambling board where everyone can have as many opinions as holes, over and over you prove you know shit about Europe so how about you just stop worrying about others?

If you took the information from there why didn't you use the whole title?


Also, bitcoinarchive despite having those subscribers is hardly a trustable source, they do everything for clicks, investing stuff, and blowing things out of proportion just to gather exposure, if you spend 10 minute reading their tweets you would be wondering why BTC is not at 2 billion and why is there a single person in the world still using fiat.


The best thing to do is either edit the topic title which is clearly wrong at this point or lock this all together.

Hihihi, and that's what OP's doing.
Quit ironic, his previous message just before this one looks like this:


So forget P2P, his first advice was to trust another bank, just that it's a crypto bank and not a fiat bank!
I love when all those people just criticize banks and tell stories about how you can't withdraw your money from them only to stuff their precious coins on some same-level centralized entity.

Here is the Q2 report, 253 TWh:
https://bitcoinminingcouncil.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/2022.07.19-BMC-Presentation-Q2-22-Presentation.pdf

And of course, it has grown, have you seen how the hashrate went up from last year?

It's terrible news!
We have the largest exchange that claims to be all about decentralization and freedom and about the trust of users purposely sabotaging a competitor here. I can't believe that on this forum there would be a person clapping for this when it's a copy-paste move on how Microsoft wanted to kill Netscape not can I believe there are people defending this exchange when all that it has done to date has been lying its customers and even trying to hurt bitcoin by imposing fees 10x higher on the bitcoin chain that on their shitcoin.

Ok, forget bitcoin and other things there is one more important issue here..
Am I seeing this right, on the right side there are a bunch of phones and on the left side of the picture, are those mice and a keyboard? They actually had nothing to pull on that table and said let's dump a few more pieces of "evidence" of the crime? Cables and keyboards?  



This is not money laundering, this is an outright dating scam, probably pretending to be some rich sexy asian girl that lures men into investing in some business she knows and runs, we've had tens of those scam reports here with tens of people still falling for it.

The whole thing starts with the wrong premise, unlike what the author claims gold was never used as a store of value in teeth, gold was used because of its properties, it's totally noncorrosive and malleable, and some do use it as a sign of wealth but never as storage. Besides a golden teeth crown is just a few grams even with your full mouth full of gold the entire weight won't be more than 100 grams, it's actually hilarious do you think you could chew with gold teeth weighing half a kilo? So in the best scenario, you would have about $4000 there, in most of Europe the procedure to get those will cost you triple that. No, we're debating something that never happened.

So you're telling me running a 2kw appliance for one hour will burn 1kwh of electricity and turn it into heat and 1 kwh will just be .. transferred where? Do you actually understand the law of thermodynamics?
Energy can only be transformed in a system, it can't be destroyed, I suggest you write down an essay and send it to those idiots at universities telling them how you found a way to destroy energy and not create any other form.


It's far better if you try something else.
Buy a heater since you obviously never owned one, buy the cheapest smart socket on the market that has power readings and you're going to be in a for a surprise to what happens to that electric heater when it hits the built-in limits, magically the power consumption will drop to zero.
Because there is no way in this universe to run electricity through something without generating heat, again laws of physics, 6th grade.


Exactly!
There is a law, you earn it in the sixth grade, and energy can't be created or destroyed in a closed system.
Since the heater is not giving the energy in its pure form away, it only transforms it, there is no way (again laws of physics) for 1 kw to equal once 0.8 joules and once 78 joules, again, it's the law of physics.

Can you please elaborate on what happens to that energy that is not turned into heat in an electric heater?
Because unless it is either magically sent back to the grid or it's used to electrocute everyone in the room it does break the first law of thermodynamics.

So do enlighten me on what happens to the "wasted energy" in a heater or elaborate on how you feed a system 2 kWh and you get out only 5 MJ or 3MJ and not 7.2.

Not kick them out but pay them in order to shut the gear down to drop consumption.
And it's a fact, it just happened in Texas, and if you don't believe rumors, you might believe financial statements from Riot:
https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2022/08/03/2491455/0/en/Riot-Blockchain-Announces-July-2022-Production-and-Operations-Updates.html


Of course, it's voluntary but it's still about the money!
If miners would be faced with 40cents per kWh like in Europe they would be shutting also voluntary but a different type.


And keep following the rules of the free market, what happens when the excess free energy there is no longer enough? The truth is that the current situation can hold only x amount of miners, that's it, there is no way for an infinite number, somewhere there is a stop and the cheap energy stops becoming cheap.

Glad to be there, it's like a badge of honor.

But since I don't think you have LoyceV on the ignore list and since he was the one asking you where your numbers about the fact that even full EU gas reserves won't last more than two weeks I think you owe a few answers o those that might still even think you're not just some Iranian propagandist who spreads only lies here.

But well, facts are not something you really want to discuss, right?


Be careful what you say, some FSB agents who confuse The sims for sims cards might not get your sarcasm, would be better to reinforce your windows rather than sell that wood to the poor freezing germans.
How many of those gas and oil industry CEOs have taken the final jump after providing the numbers Putin didn't want this year?
