It brings about an interesting issue. They were a business to business setup.

f2pool is large company.
paypal is large
paxos is large.

If you solo mine or mine at a few small pools there is no pool wallet coins are simply few direct to the miners.

I am U.S.A. based miners. I mine at this pool

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

if we had hit it those coins go directly to us not to a pool wallet

I would have received 9.6 coins about 7.2 would have been a mistake
another miner would have received about 11.5 coins about 8 would have been a mistake
the third miner would have got 4 coins about 3 would have been a mistake

If I refund those coins 7.2 I would need quite a lot of assurance from PayPal and paxos that 194k of taxable income goes on their books not mine. I would need to create a legal agreement to refund them.

Well not my problem and some programmer is going to be in trouble for the error.

Guys got really lucky f2pool mined the block, because most pools wouldn't even return the funds at all. Paxos should send them a tip they deserve it. As to taxation, what happens normally when somebody sends you Bitcoin by mistake and you send it back? I'm not a tax guru but there should be some easy solution...

Not if you are mining. Trust me it goes to  straight to the addresses listed if this pool hits a block
 https://pool.laurentiapool.org/#/work

I am U.S.A. my address is kyc. If I refund the 7.2 coins I need multiple certified documents from paxos to show why it was an error and I refunded overpayment.

Plus I am not sure the IRS would consider it a refund of an error they may say I simply gave them back money I did not have to give.

My mom worked for IRS 23 years My wife worked for IRS 33 years I worked for them 18 months. I am a degreed accountant from Queens College I know a bit about USA tax law and I simply am not sure what the ruling would be for this case.

promising pictures?
and not delivering?
i will end this now.

OT:

Sold my old 750mm newtonian telescope, which i never got adjusted right for astrpphotography and swapped the dirty fiat and some extra bucks for the next size (1000mm) with a shorter focuser tube, which doesn't produce misshaped stars and was able to be adjusted (almost) perfectly in a matter of minutes.
We had some clear nights over here again, so i stopped processing the older data and captured some more.

Introducing IC 1396, the "elephant trunk nebula". Not even two hours of data made me show some details of this rather faint nebula:
Enjoy while hodling  Cool

EDIT: Due to only 28 2-minute subframes, stacked on top of each other, the algorithm didn't fully erase the satellite streaks, which you can see as dim, straight lines covering the sky background, if you take a closer look. When looking through the subexposures, i made out a satellite trail on about every third picture. Means eery five minutes or so this small area of sky is crossed by Elon's little worker bugs and their "collegues".




Is there also a small nebula right of center near bottom?

Is it my little pony  Grin
Or baby elephant?

nice shots bro. I do appreciate them.
4304  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [∞ YH] solo.ckpool.org 2% fee solo mining 277 blocks solved! on: September 20, 2023, 03:42:24 PM
hi
i just tested latency from my miners to your servers and i see that the "Solo.ckpool.org is extensively connected to high speed low latency bitcoin nodes for rapid block change notification and propagation" is at 102ms.

while other pools such as viabtc and zsolo.bid has a latency at 7-10ms and 20-25ms

please help


this pool has less world wide servers thus you are 102ms away

102ms is good enough

250ms begins a poor or unacceptable level.

So I looked at the hop rod YouTube video and it rolled me into a live performance of the Curley Shuffle

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwYpWld66Vk

I only remember the video not the live performance.  So if anyone has not seen the live band here they are.

Oh buddy kicked me hard today as I only did 16 posts.

Thanks for re-post, newbies can't post images
Sure, I want to start documenting the entire process, including publishing both the PCB design and the programming steps.

Both screens are OLED 128x64, it's exaclty the same screen with the same SSD1306 controller and the same cable but in 1.3inch intead 0.95inch. That's why I was able to use the 0.95-inch one, which is the original size.
In this photo, you can see the size difference between the two; it's substantially larger. Original trezor one LCD is OLED display 128x64 UG-2864HSWEG01



Nice improvements.

That extra screen helps.  I would love for Trevor to upgrade to what you did.

Any amount of time you spend thinking about this and any space that it occupies in your mind is entirely too much.
There's far worse injustices in the world taking place on an hourly basis. This one is just the manufactured newsbyte that is currently trending now.
I know you guys think you're making a point but all you're really doing is revealing who has been more successful at brainwashing you.

 Troons are an affront to God.

 They are desperately in need of psychiatric help, not coddling delusions.

what the fuck is a Troon ?




Oh Bruce Jenner ..  Actually he is something else last I read he kept his Johnson and his nut sack and still likes banging woman.  But he has a girlie face hair and tits.

You mean 12 year olds pre puberty mutilated by sicko doctors correct?

4309  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Paxos recovers its $500,000 'fat finger' Bitcoin transaction fee on: September 20, 2023, 02:40:09 AM
Transaction fee can be recovered? How? This is the first time I am hearing this. And the first time when I saw the transaction fee really it was something else thay was a huge amount of money. The mining pool or the company that did it was good one. We thank God we have such companies in the blockchain. Such mistake is too expensive. The sender has learned his lesson.

Okay the pool or solo miner that mines the block gets the fees.



F2pool has a pool wallet so that wallet grabbed 6.25+19 = 25.25 coins.

They if the fee was not a mistake split the 25.25 coins with the miners. Their fee is say 2% or .5 coins the 24.75 then goes to the miners.

It is a multistep process.  So the pool can hold the block and the fees since it all goes to their address. then to the miners.

there are pools that auto send the coins.

ie same block of 25.25 coins 2 % to the pool operator and rest to the miners all in one step.  In this case the pool does not control the coins it is a one step process.

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

coins would go  to the miners and the pool op in 1 step

https://solo.ckpool.org/

a fee goes to pool op rest goes to solo block winner 1 step


or a single solo miner with no pool 100% got to him.

In the cases above it would have been far sloppier to get a refund back to Paxos/Paypal


I for one would be looking for a lawyer and a legal agreement to protect me from USA taxes since that would have went to a kyc address and shown as income. If I hit with  https://pool.laurentiapool.org/#/work

it made me think of a cool solution that I am sure LoyceV or someone like him could easily tackle by building a tool something along the lines of:
> Scrape all sent feedback left by people who were once in DT1 and got removed due to inactivity only
> Find all members who currently aren't painted red out of this feedback
> Current DT1's can go through the list and add a feedback if they choose to.
Been there, done that. See [PRISON BREAK] Full list of users who lost their DT red trust from Lauda

Thoughts?
It was a lot of work. You can't tag 2000 accounts just because someone else did the same, you'll have to actually check the evidence and decide per case whether or not they (still) deserve it. I'm not going to do that.

Of course, it would be a lot of work to filter through each one...though I'm sure if the data I described (not just for Lauda) was there, DTs or even non DT members would do their bit in ensuring that known scammers/farmers/etc. were not able to roam free.

I do wonder many accounts that were once tagged are currently active and roaming right now.

An interesting question how many have been set free to do more harm/ I am thinking 10 to 23 are now free.

maybe loyce can figure that out.

I really did not believe it til 2017.

I got in 2012.  I have made money but not as much as I could have.

Maybe 200k in profits since 2012 but if I held more I could have made 2 or 3 million .
4312  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: It is only Bitcoin and nothing else on: September 20, 2023, 12:09:49 AM
Do you know why it is recommended to hold bitcoin for the long term while hodling altcoins for short-term use? It's because of the sort of negative event you spoke about. A coin's value could drop tomorrow even if it was performing well years later.

That appears to be the main issue with all altcoins. They always behave like pump-and-dump coins with a brief price recovery in the crypto market.

That's why it is advised that don't rush to invest in altcoins out of FOMO or for a long period to expect huge profits to happen. Invest in them but it's for the short term and make sure that you don't get carried away by forgetting to withdraw your profits when you ought to.

the theory would be if crypto succeeds BTC will certainly be the leader and should hold price well and grow over the next 10-20 years.

The only  POW algo that can really challenge BTC sha256 algo  is LTC/Doge Scrypt  and if it does well it can last for the next 100 years or more due to the structure of Doge payouts.

Most other coin are bs especially Eth which is basically an unregulated bond run by one guy.

For me as I am a bit older I do 3 coins

BTC + LTC + DOGE.  based on the hardware that mines them is very solid and there is a lot of it.
4313  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Knowledge vs hodlings on: September 19, 2023, 10:19:17 PM
Life is a time game.  If you are kind of lucky you make it to 60 or 70 or 80

I am 66 with normal luck I will reach 84.

So this means I got 18 years to go.

the young you are the more time you have in general.

This means DCA and hodl for 10-20 years if you are 20-40 years old it is not hard to do.

If you are 66 like me a 10 year DCA is not that attractive.

BUT NOW YOU SAY  hey I am 29 I want to do a 10 year dca .

you decide $20  a week is a number I can dca.  well that is 52 x 20 x 10 = 10400 usd saved via the purchase of btc.

It is possible that the average increase is 10x so you have 104,000 usd worth of btc in ten

years.  How do I do this? How do I make sure to buy it. HOW do I make sure to hodl it. lastly how do I make sure I do not lose access to the asset.

 well that is the question.  I can be sure about buying it or earning. holding it is hard.
4314  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: It is only Bitcoin and nothing else on: September 19, 2023, 10:03:24 PM
I was going through coinmarketcap today to see some of the cryptocurrencies I was involved in when I started, I was so surprised to see that a lot of them have even been delisted. I was heartbroken seeing that some tokens who raised millions of dollars, had huge community and were trending even in various platforms just died. I wanted to not mention any particular token but I have to mention PumaPay that raised about $8 million yet could not deliver anything and got investors holding a bag of shit.

If one can turn back the hand of time, and assuming I joined this forum early when I started my crypto journey, maybe the concept of shitcoins would have dawn on me and that would have made me convert those worthless bags to Bitcoin when I could.

I know there are other who would have similar experience too and there are still others caught up in the euphoria of getting rich through one token or the other. Well, if it is not Bitcoin, it is not worth holding.

I think you are kind of wrong but some what correct.

There are more than 1 POW coins that are worthwhile.

I made more profit on Doge than any coin including BTC.

But the truth is there are over 9000 coins at the moment and 8000 maybe 8500 are garbage .

I peg about 10 pow coins with a bit of value and possibly ripple which is a pos coin.  The others are fairly trash including eth.

But each of us have an opinion and we are able to voice them freely here on bitcointalk thanks to theymos.

WTF

What are we supposed to do about it exactly?

Any amount of time you spend thinking about this and any space that it occupies in your mind is entirely too much.

There's far worse injustices in the world taking place on an hourly basis. This one is just the manufactured newsbyte that is currently trending now.

I know you guys think you're making a point but all you're really doing is revealing who has been more successful at brainwashing you.

Destroying children is not injustice enough for you? wow.

You are not even aware how big this woke cancer already is -especially in the U.S- because you simply ingore it and taking the shortcut blaming the goverment which means you are just another blatant conspiracy theorist.

How big is it?
10 a year under 18 in the usa?
100 a year under 18 in the usa?
1000 a year under 18 in the usa?
10000 a year under 18 in the usa?
100000 a year under 18 in the usa?

and what are the numbers for the rest of the world?

I do not think anyone under 18 should do it.
I think 🤔 if they are interested they need to wait need 18 and do 3 years of evaluations before the cut at age of 21.

They are are full adults then and they can do what they want.

But I would love to know the real numbers for the usa and the rest of the world.
4317  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Ouch, today someone made a transaction with over $500k fee. on: September 19, 2023, 04:44:49 PM
Despite the majority voting against it, apparently they did the right thing and returned that fee anyway:
Who's to say it was the right thing to do? Whenever the average user makes a mistake and over pays their fee, they simply have to wave goodbye to their money. Why should it be different for Paxos?

Depends on your morality (or lack thereof) I guess. To me it's pretty clear. If you know that someone paid you too much in error, and it's practical and possible to refund them - you should.
If you sold a car to your friend and they accidentally wired you $20k instead of $10k, you wouldn't use "other people make mistakes and lose money permanently" as an excuse, you would send it back (I hope).

Would be an ideal world 🌍.  The problem is there are so many crooked people it does not happen enough at least in this case it was fixed.

And my small pool I am in did not need to face the issue.

4319  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Paxos recovers its $500,000 'fat finger' Bitcoin transaction fee on: September 19, 2023, 12:51:30 PM
That's very strange. What if I owe some money to a friend? Should that transaction be equally taxable with realized profit from an investment?
Actually stock and paper gold market investments are tax free here to save the government from bankruptcy, and other financial transactions require evidence and justifiable reason for the banks to process the transaction, it's related to FATF rules, the gov refused to join international FATF, but they are enforcing it's rules domestically.

If you are buying a car, you need to provide the bank with official documents of the deal to let you transfer the money to the seller, they charge the tax for such deals before registering the car to your name. And if you owe a friend, you can't send more than $4,000 per day without officially approved docs. It's a circus in general, the laws of taxation.

In the case of paxos, I believe that pool has to answer to it's government wherever they are located, and all the documents of all financial transactions globally goes to FATF headquarters for assessment. The new universal rule of finance; everyone is a criminal doing money laundry unless legally proven otherwise with evidence.

I have to agree with this attitude in a lot of countries it seems like the governments enforce that way.

Ties in with soldered batteries in a cell phone so that is is always a spy device in the name of anti-terroism.

interesting...bilaterality...kind of rare, but more common than people expect..some studies say that it is about 10%, but maybe it is lower % than that.
My mom was probably naturally left handed, but the school system (way back when) forced her to write with the right hand, so she is mixing it now just like you.
I had the minor right shoulder injury, and although I am naturally right handed, taught myself to use the left hand more, so, although I am still right handed, can easily do some things with a left hand just as well.

Conclusion: our brain is a very dynamic structure and you can teach it to do things differently.


Very likely I was more like her but there was no way I could right right handed so the nuns were unable to beat that out of me.

Even when I do a new task I will try it with either hand and stick with the one that feels best.

how about hockey (if you ever played): here is an interesting article about this "issue" in sports and hockey in particular:
https://www.nydailynews.com/2016/05/31/righty-or-lefty-what-you-dont-know-about-shooting-a-puck-in-the-nhl/

goaltender. we played street hockey. I used my right hand for the stick hand. left hand was the glove hand.

But I could switch with zero issue. The reason I played that way was I used a baseball glove for a right handed thrower.

It was a lower middle class neighborhood so ice hockey was not played.

But a newly paved street was decent surface to play on.

I was pretty good at stopping pucks.
