Yes it is designed to make you obsolete and be replaced be someone younger.

If you are over 40 always encourage retro ideas to fight back against the youngins.

At the age of 66 and having had 49 years working with computers I have seen tons of false obsolete moves made.  ie reddit is a false improvement.  young people look at it and are conned that bitcointalks format is obsolete.

you know reddit is like a pcie based ssd and bitcointalk is older like a floppy disk.

while it is true that a pcie based ssd kicks the ass of a floppy disk 1000x or more.

reddit does not kick the ass of bitcointalk.

but too many are fooled into thinking that.

https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator   would do it if you had paid 11 sats a  byte

you paid 9 sats a byte.

I entered it 2 times and it said something like "no go bro too small a fee"

below tracks the pool


https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#BTC,1w,fee


we have been steady need 12-14 sats a byte

track it and see if it goes to 9 sats a byte which is what you paid.

here is your transaction good luck maybe this weekend

One last hint if you always pay 12 sats a byte you can always use the free accelerator

I figured they would refund.

It does bring an interesting issue for a small pool.

https://pool.laurentiapool.org/#/work

if this small pool had hit it . the software auto sends to the four addresses that have mined to it.

so that 25 coin block would go to four people. take 180 blocks to clear.  and paypal/paxos would need to talk to four people to get a refund. not the pool but the four that mine to it.

I live in U.S.A.  I would not be able to simply return the 7 or so extra coins I got.  My address is registered and is kyc. thus it would look like I had a large taxable income.

pineapple 🍍 and ham     works.

but potato 🥔 with lemon 🍋 is a no go for me

Nice work I think you nailed it perfectly.

Coinex and viabtc have partnered for years so it only makes sense that coinex has a consoldating setup with them.

I used to use coinex but they no longer accept usa customers.

Yeah I thought that at first. They offer a lot of services. They also have a relationship with coinex so maybe it was something to do with them.  the 450plus deposit were conjoined to a single address for about 0.26 btc deposit.

i can check the deposit address to see if it belongs to viabtc as I mine with them and I have a list of some of their payout addresses.

wow no 15 year 20 year or 30 year mortgages sucks.

back in the day i had a 30 year at 7.875 in state of new jersey usa.

they have a rule you can pay it down quickly with no penalty. So my wife and I pushed hard and paid it in under eight years.

I see the same housing issues in USA that were happening in 2008.

Investors owning  five and six homes  rents are too high. younger families can not buy a home they rent and pay high rents.

Looks like they have a deal with a conjoin company

here is the tx id

hundreds of tiny inputs to this address

https://mempool.space/address/37Q3iz1k8FCo2DfssdcCHf3MfLT8ckBSg2

and this address has had 1800+ points sent to it.

Well why not all of the above?

Mining coins with solar power is a natural business for his company that make solar setups.

I see no reason why he does not like all of it.

So I think he sees a natural fit.

So I did a signature campaign for the first time in 4 years.
I have no intention of switching around to get double paid for two campaigns.

I am a bit confused as to what would be cheating.

So my current campaign pays me up to 40 good posts per week.

If the week starts on the 14th of sept 2023 and I do 50 good posts by  the 16th of sept 2023.

Can I leave on sept 17th go to another campaign as I fully did do the max posts for the week.

Or am I obliged to stay the full week and switch out on sept 20th thus giving the first campaign a full amount of posts and time for said week.


BTW I would want that the max posts and full time must be done if I am a campaign manager.

So that in my case I should leave at the weeks end if I were to switch out.
I only think that is fair to do the time and the post to get paid.

As a suggestion maybe this can be clarified by the campaign managers that time and posts are needed to get paid.

 OR am I misunderstanding the purpose of this thread.

this is a solid question.

I would argue the 2012 December ½ ing was too early in BTC to use as an example of what to look for.

This leaves the 2016 July  and 2020 May ½ ing dates.

Covid fucked up all of 2020 so I would toss out the 2020 info.


we would then be left with only 2016 July ½ ing patterns as valid

and are trying to match it up with 2024 ½ ing

my pre  ½ range in early April 2024  is 51.600 to 61,800

heat is over so a lot back on line


I can see this moving to +7%

I have had somewhat of a love hate relationship with signature campaigns.

I have gone the route of ignore people.
I have gone the route of ignore signature’s
I have gone the route of ignore avatar’s

I have also decided to accept all of it and really admire the rarity of this forum allowing the degree of free speech 🎤 and signature’s that it does.

I have read many posts of the sceptical chemist even when he was only a pharmacist (sorry cant quite remember the old name) I used to think that a lot of his post were spot on.

In fact I still do. But in order to have the degree of free speech we have with the signature possibility for us all the sceptical chemist ideas and beliefs and practices need to be allowed and at the same time not practiced be all of us on the forum.

  I give theymos a lot of credit for having a good way of balancing the forum.

you should have a tablet for mobile and a flip phone.

smart phones suck
the screens are simply too small.

I buy a samsung. No one should buy an iPhone and I am glad apple took a hit on this.  They have become a true disgrace to their original we are not the man image.

Every day I listen to the news hoping to hear about another country hurting apple and their bs gear.

BTW I own six Mac mini's and 2 iPads
 but all samsung phones.

It will never be a  working currency. the fee structures are wrong.

the shrinking reward system will alway create upwards price pressures.


The scrypt algo using LTC / Doge is far better to use for circulation currency.

BTC would have need to slow blocks and make ½ ings every 8 years then have lightning network for smaller transactions.

It has already failed as a universal payment system. it is  still good for larger money moves

This is my 25th post today so buddy you lose for today.

Well in a country with 1,400,000,000 people all under very strict rules of behavior a successful worker always knows he is easy to replace.

So workers are underpaid in general and abused by the upper class via low wages hard long hours etc.

Foxconn had suicide nets in place due to excessive worker suicide attempts.

Here in the Wonderfull USA we get great freedoms anther are actually about 750,000,000 guns available to  about 330,000,000 million people includes little kid as they watch where Daddy puts the gun.


https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/29/health/us-children-gun-deaths-dg/index.html


be shot to death is the most common way for a kid to die in the USA.

So the gun freedom slows crazy nut job government rules to turn the workers in to semi slaves. But the workers shoot way too many people.  You would think there was a happy in-between .  But I do not think so.

I feel 38 to 42k is a must by April 1st 2024

Mostly because it is the number needed to not collapse miners.

But that is 5-6 months away.

My hope is we move quickly to 33-35k in sept-oct this year.  Thus we take the fear away of the need for 38k-42k by April 1 2024.

As always I am a slanted person as I mostly mine to get income.

yep.

f2pool should upcharge at least 2 coins.

 i am in a very small pool that hits a block every 2 or 3 years.

I usually get 40% of the block and fees.

So 6+19=25 x 40% is 10 coins. about 7.2 would be the extra fee.

the other two miners in this pool would get

12 and 3 coins

pool is set up to auto send when block is hit so I would handle the ten coins. about 7.2 should go back to them.

but I would have to get a lawyer and special tax letters so That the irs does not try to tax the 7.2 I return.
