P Shep beat me to it a few posts earlier.  It was a moment of clarity for all.  

Edit:  given this additional insight, I might be a bit more respectful of his point of view, because his view is informed by his professional experience.  My operating assumption was that his view was solely motivated by his book.

I guess there are better things to do in the holiday season, or in winter weekends, or in weekends or weekdays or whenever, but thank you for a usually thankless job, felt more than noticed by most (including me).

Yes thank you.  Things were getting out of hand. But I live in a glasshouse, so decided best if I did not throw
stones.

? ? ?

What was your involvement? NVRAM or controller development? Civil or military?

I realize SSDs date back to the late 1980s. I'm fascinated by the early history.

I always saw storage as the main performance bottleneck in any computer system. I figured when cheap low-power-consumption high-capacity dependable solid state storage was achieved, we'd see a whole new world of portable devices.

It's not surprising that the first netbooks and then smartphones and tablets followed closely behind the development of MLC and TLC flash and controllers with improved wear leveling and garbage collection algorithms. Sure, improved battery and radio technologies helped but the mobile revolution was spurred by SSDs.

Inb4 jbreher fully dox himself: He is a fucking good mass storage engineer/developer. Would love he tells us more details if he feels like. He may have a wrong view of what is the true Bitcoin but the guy really knows his shit and has more high stakes pro level technical background that most of us here. Respect.

To a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail

I am retarded... what does that mean in this case?

Of course he believes in big blocks.  He is a mass storage engineer. To him, the solution to all (most) problems is more storage.

Edits:

Ask a lawyer how to fix Bitcoin and they will say you need to build in AML.  Ask a banker how to fix Bitcoin and they will tell you you need a central permissioning authority.  Ask an accountant and they will tell you you need an API to the IRS.  Ask a mass storage engineer and get a mass storage solution.....


Big blocks are just another form of mass storage.

20%-30% of not happening I will have to deal with that...

I am going to do the most risky bet of my life (which is not much to say as I am extremely conservative) based on that perception. Wish me luck Smiley

I will probably be ok even if I am wrong or things doesn't happen as I do expect as the most probable outcome.

Careful.   We may go much lower in the interim.  Do not put yourself in a position where you are overinvested and feel you have to cut your losses.  Only invest what you are prepared to hold firmly until well after next halvening.  

If you want to be conservative, wait until we break the long term bear line.  2014 suggests we will break it around this price level in October 2019.

TIL there are quite enough emu war memes on that internet to go round, and that it is seemingly impossible to write a good poem about a heron.

A haiku on a heroin heron heroine?


I have a new first world problem.  The place where I am staying this week has extraordinarily low friction toilet roll holders.   This results in the entire roll of toilet paper spontaneously despooling and puddling on the ground.

Have never dealt with an issue of this magnitude before, I am at a loss how best to proceed.

Vanuatu becomes world's most powerful nation.

To be fair, Nauru was the world’s richest country for awhile

From 1982:

Quote
Nauru is technically the richest country in the world, body for body and acre for acre, because the Government's annual income from the sale of phosphate is at least $123 million, or more than $27,000 a year for every Nauruan man, woman and child.

Brian Armstrong makes a half-assed apology for being a Bcash / ETH dickhead:

Quote
12/ To the extent I was critical of people working on any part of Bitcoin or crypto in the past, I apologize. My hope is that we see this technology succeed in the world, and my hat is off to anyone working to make that happen.

It’s a significant PR win for Bitmex.  I have somewhat mixed feelings about it given that XBT is a synthetic.

The Bitmex Research tends to be very good.

I do wonder about the volume on Bitmex though.  I have had slippage of up to $75 on relatively small orders on big moves.  Never had that on other exchanges. That degree of slippage concerns me, makes me feel I am being front run by their trading engine.  It certainly doesn’t feel like the most liquid exchange in Bitcoinland.

Here’s the thing.  If you keep pumping a shitcoin run by a money launderer and a con man, but you won’t even commit to that shitcoin, then you will justifiably be called out as a hypocrite and shill each time you raise the issue. 

Unless you're running your entire life free of fiat, you've got no room to spout off.

You are undoubtedly clever and undoubtedly deliberately obtuse.

Your comment would carry weight if I was shilling the virtues of fiat over Bitcoin. I am not.

Don’t come into our house and shit on the floor and expect not to be consistently challenged over it. Alternatively accept that this is a Bitcoin community, and conduct yourself accordingly.   The choice is yours.
