Yeah I had many years at sea in the US navy which can be hard your eyes 👀

Maybe they were set by wickens. I was going with terrorists.

Back to the air filter part.

I am a life long asthmatic. So I have 3 very high quality air filters.

2 of these at 900 each

1 of these at 1400

I have this meter

Normal

with my 3 air filters set to speeds 2 and 3

My PM 2.5 reads 0
My PM 10.0 reads 0 for indoor air

outdoor
PM2.5 reads 7-10
PM 10.0 reads 9-15

Today
with my three air filters set to 6

I get
PM 2.5 is 35-40
PM 10.0 is 45-50 note all of the above are indoor numbers.

If I bring the meter outdoors

PM 2.5  ranges 340 to 440
PM 10.0 ranges 540 to 750

these are really fucking bad numbers.

If I had no air filters I would be in the emergency room right now.

I have 2 other air filters and the whole house ac filter.

So over 5,000 Usd worth of filters

to be at pm2.5  35 vs  pm2.5  340

although I would think  with zero filters but indoors I may be more like 130 to 150.  

The house would block some smoke as would running the ac. Not going to shut the filters off to test it.

I have had cataract surgery.

about 15 years ago in my right eye and 11 years ago in my left eye.

I have fixed implants one in the left lets that eye see 20-20 one in the right lets that eye see 20-80.

This allows me to see mid range and far range perfectly. So those apple glasses would need me to have 2 different inserts one for each eye. I wonder what fixed prescription I would attempt my eye to see with them.

Maybe just alter one eye from 20-20 to 20-80

you do realize the she whacked that alien. So are you rooting for crypto over btc?

Yes but the problem is BTC is so fucking valuable that we will have scaling issues.

2009 to 2012 reward 50 btc    vs  fee 0.01 or 5000 to 1 ratio

2012 to 2016 reward 25 btc    vs  fee 0.025 or 1000 to 1 ratio

2016 to 2020 reward 12.5 btc vs fee  0.050 or   250 to 1 ratio

2020 to 2024 reward 6.25 btc vs fee 0.100 or  62.5 to 1 ratio


note the fees are an in my head guess as the the average value of each block fee

we know 2023 block fees got up to 6 coins

but the Long term average over last 3 years is closer to .1 btc a block

I am okay at math and figuring some trends out.

the reward to fee number ratio shrinks every 4 years.

5000.000 to 1 2009
1000.000 to 1 2012
  250.000 to 1 2016
    62.500 to 1 2020       note in my head estimate.

this means

   15.625 to 1  in 2024 or    3.125 reward and   0.20 in  fees on average
     3.906 to 1  in 2028 then 1.5625 reward and 0.40 in fees

btw we are over the fee average for 2020-2023  of 0.1000 btc

As of the  last 10 blocks

793263-0.96
793262-0.90
793261-0.69 2.55
793260-1.02
793259-0.76
793258-0.91 5.24
793257-0.98
793256-1.11
793255-0.59
793254-1.04
    
they are about 0.896 btc a block

I have read various number for fee average during 2020-2023 as high as .15 btc average as low as .07 average I picked .1 for my ratio comparison

it is easy to see May 1 to June 7 we are above .07 .1 or .15 in fact we are over 1 btc a block for about 37 days.

But it dropped a bit  as May 5 to May 12 it was 2.5 btc a block

now it is .896 btc a block .  This is ordinals+BRC-20+NFT clutter.

I have shown ways in a prior thread that pools can push fees up and turn profits.


https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2634505.0

a method of pushing fees upward and not being able to directly prove any pool does it.

All of that thread's concepts  can be done by 3 large pools with the ordinal/BRC-20/NFT clutter.

And proving it is hard.

It is obvious people are testing the Blockchain right now to see how easy they can jack fees turn profits and not be fingered for doing it.


I don't fear any of that as much as I fear the top pools simply black list all tx's under 50 sats a byte.

I think we are heading that way.

BTW if ordinals/BRC-20/NFTs are barred and fees drop to 0.1 per block

The top 5 pools will be incentivized to blacklist all 50sats per  or 40sat per and lower tx's

So Once again I say leave the ordinals/BRC-20/NFTs just as they are,

 as I rather deal with a wild dog(brc-20) than a wild lion (blacklisting of <50sats a byte tx's)

oh some opec news

"OPEC+ countries also agreed to extend oil production cuts they announced in April through the end of 2024, reducing the amount of crude they pump into the world market by more than 1 million barrels per day." 3 days ago  from google search "opec to lower oil"

Beef it is what's for dinner!

I have gotten these for say 10 years.

I looked up the BTC address he/she or it gave me and it has seven $400 dollar deposits. So amazingly he got seven people to pay him.

 Usually when I get these and bother to check the given address it is a dead unused address.
I found it unusual that the address got payments.

So I leave in NJ. There are a lot of Forest fires in Canada, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

PM 2.5 readings are 360
PM 10.0 readings are 540

but are terrible numbers. All fires are more than 50 miles from my home but smoke is think as fuck.

I am running an airfliter  which has dropped numbers to

Pm2.5 = 23
Pm10  = 34

May not clear for days.

anyone else suffering from the smoke.

Op I read your prior posts and threads.

I suppose your idea can work.

If I think of a model that all particles are still and simple follow any particle or group of particles in reverse it would work.

While i can go to a book at the last page and go backwards I am simply not capable of understanding how to do that with atomic particles using programing. I actually wish you do it and good luck.

got me a cool email:

"Hello

I know your password!

I infected you with a malware (RAT)/(Remote Administration Tool), some time ago and since then, I have been observing your actions. The malware gave me full access and control over your system, meaning, I can see everything on your screen, turn on your camera or microphone and you won't even notice about it, yes such things exist, you can Google it!
I have also access to all your contacts, I collected everything private from you, pictures, videos, everything!

And I MADE A VIDEO SHOWING BOTH YOU (through your webcam) AND THE VIDEO YOU WERE WATCHING (on the screen) WHILE SATISFYING YOURSELF!

I can send this video to all your contacts (email, social network) and publish all your private stuff everywhere!

You can prevent me from doing this!
To stop me, transfer exactly: 400$ with the current bitcoin (BTC) price to my bitcoin address.

If you don't know how to get bitcoin, Google - "How to buy Bitcoin", it's very simple for example with credit card. The wallet you can create here: https://www.blockchain.com

My bitcoin address is: ------SCAt5KGrMSR1ktL4Tkow4s------ (disabled it)

Copy and paste my address - it's (CASE-sensitive).

You know this all isn't a joke, you got the proof above!
I think it's a very good price compared to the damage and hell it can bring into your life!

After receiving the payment, I will delete everything from you and you can life your live in peace like before. I give you 3 days to get the bitcoins!
Don't share this email with anyone, this should stay our little secret!"

Makes me laugh as I would not care if someone posted a video.

Also I do not have a camera on my monitor for this exact reason.

Note bold question.

I mine it is a business
I need fee income
Every ½ ing fee income is more critical and the Block reward lessons.

I will be the first to say while I like to see a 6.25 reward and 4.75 in fees = 11 btc per block but I know it hurts the business of btc if it continues for say 1 or 2 years in a row.

My fears for down the road of ½ ing rewards are getting fees to work well enough for

miners, pools and users of btc.

6.25 + 0.75 = 7 seems to work okay

6.25 + 5.7 = 12 seems to be an issue if it goes for a long time 6 months a year seem bad.

so in a year

3.125 + 0.875 = 4 seems okay

3.125 + 5.875 = 9 seems wrong a real problem

in 2028

1.5625 + 0.9375 = 2.5 still may work

1.5625 + 5.4375 = 7.0 seem wrong a real problem



on and on and on

I worry for this to get worse as time goes on.

My bigger fear is not BRC-20 it is top pools simply blacklist fees under 50 sats a byte.

BTC bouncing back a bit.  26.7k

Best case is fed tries and fails once again with a +0.25% jump june 14-15.

Sooner or later feds will give up the fight.

We have June then july then oct

They won’t break btc with three more jumps and will need to pivot.

I see a very nice fall coming.

Nice I just picked up some btc at 25.7 and moved it off coinbase.

things are looking good.

they are not mishandling dollars. congress and the prez are doing that.

22 bad budgets in  a row. All falls on

1)tax too low laws  for
2)spending too high laws.




And congress and the prez write those laws

BTW be ready for +0.25%  in 9 days time.

I bolded what the tax laws favor in the USA.

As long as the top five pools do not blacklist all tx under 50 sats a byte.

Fuck if I was a CEO  of one of  the top five pools I would try to do an Opec oil type group and set min trans action at 50 sats just to see what the market does.

https://www.blockchain.com/explorer/charts/pools


Miner / Pool--------Percent

Foundry USA-------33.333%

AntPool-------------22.337%

F2Pool--------------13.574%

Binance Pool--------9.794%

ViaBTC--------------8.419%

total of ----------- over 87.2%

If they blacklist all tx under 50 sats a byte it would be some real fun.

I have to think they will try it.

big companies do not pay in btc.
they pay in cash.

They mine and spilt hodl the btc profits.

its all about churning O.P.M.

other people’s money.

I quoted myself about a month later. Fees are down to under 1 btc a block vs 2+ btc a block

last 10 blocks on June 5th

792990 ----- 0.61

Developers did nothing and fees went down bigly. May 9th to June 5th.

give the developers a pat on the back for the "wait and see move".


6.16 is way down from 25.85

whoa is me.

The mine keeps expanding.

we have 3x our btc hashrate since sept 2022.

Meanwhile a 25.7k price means get some dip .

My weekly dca is weds.

well by by 57 hour 27k streak
