But one of the reasons why the US is being hit so hard is federal government's response (or lack thereof) to the virus threat and that's primarily Trump's responsibility.

He fully thought the virus was a "hoax" up until the stock market crashed. Then he saw the impact that had on his ratings and switched from praising China for their response to fully blaming them for everything. Its ridiculous how obvious it is that he doesn't give a shit about anything other than himself, but he's great at owning the libs, so he'll always have a core group of supporters.

You did? You're talking about this white paper, right? The one linked to in your ANN thread?

It still contains several instances of plagiarism from the PIVX white paper. In fact, it's mostly a word-for-word copy/paste. Your coin doesn't have an original bone in its body.

I wasn't actually planning on giving merits in this thread but you had an impressive meritless streak going so I broke it for you.

You can watch korean series. They are so popular now in Netflix. Korean jombie series Kingdom created by Netflix has got tremendous response from both season 1 and 2.You can watch Korean romantic series as well

1.The king eternal monarch #9 ranking in Netflix 2020 all over the world
2.Crash landing on you
3.Goblin

I'm not really a fan but my girlfriend is, I'll recommend them to her. I do have Train to Busan in my queue. And I watched the first series of the Korean zombie show... Kingdom I think it was called? That was good, pretty unique.

Am up to episode 7 of Dark so far.

I can't believe that no one mentionned snowpiercer (the series, not the film).
Fuc**ng great show  !

Is it? I enjoyed the movie quite a bit, watched it twice. I saw the show had mixed reviews so I skipped it for now but will probably at least check out the first episode sometime.

BTW my recommendation to all if you haven't seen it: watch The Platform. Its an excellent premise, unlike anything else. TBH what it reminded me of the most was Snowpiercer, but its definitely got more of a horror movie vibe.

The changes BSV makes to the protocol will inevitably centralize the protocol, and this is being touted as a feature, not a bug by the leaders.

Quote from: Craig Wright
Bitcoin is not and has never been about ‘censorship resistance’. I added the alert key to be able to freeze and reverse transactions, if needed. All that matters in Bitcoin is a public record of any transaction that is reversed.

That vision is NOT decentralized. 

Period.

Well said. A blockchain whose eventual goal is to be measured in petabytes is inherently centralizing, as is one where transactions can be reversed by a single entity.

Your turn. What is the definition of decentralization to which you adhere, DaRude? Hmmm?

Riiiight, that's just you bitching about nodes, still not seeing you defining decentralization, and criteria that you used to come to conclusion that BTC and BSv are as decentralized? Surely you're not just putting out claims without backing them up  Roll Eyes

Whenever breher is wrong about something (which is often), he just changes the definition of the word he is talking about to something completely irrelevant to the crux of the discussion. My favorite example is when he talks about how BSV can't be a scam because its just an agnostic piece of software, and Faketoshi isn't the same thing as BSV, then goes on to regurgitate CSW talking points in defense of why BSV is so great.

4392  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Digital Collectibles: Topps launches Garbage Pail Kids NFTs on WAX on: July 15, 2020, 08:18:51 AM
Hmm,,, thanks for the new nutildah, I actually never heard of such a thing until now. I am always wondering if I should invest in these NFTs but collectibles are quite a weird hobby for me. I know a lot of people who collect things and in theory the price keeps going up because of rarity and preservation but my friend who collects watches did tell me that in fact, even though the catalogs say things cost ABC, but to find an actual buyer is almost impossible so he ends up keeping these just as a hobby. I wonder if the same will end up for NFTs on blockchain?

Well, NFTs are much easier to trade than physical collectibles because there are markets set up to make this possible instantly. You don't have to ship anything anywhere and go through the process of creating a listing on something like eBay or Amazon. You just log in to a certain market using your wallet credentials, view your collection, pick the item you want to sell and click "Sell." Then you wait for buyers. I think its 8% of every sale goes to the NFT creator, and there might be a 1% market fee (I forget).

The most popular market for WAX NFTs is called simplemarket.io, but you can find other ones (as well as a list of everything that is currently on sale) at waxplorer.com.

This Tiger King launch for instance has a lot more cards, so we'll have to see if the demand will match it or not.

All 20,000 packs (240,000 cards) sold out in roughly an hour! You pretty much had to place your order in the first 30-40 minutes to guarantee the ability to purchase a pack. It was freaking astounding. Even got the attention of William Shatner, who has his own digital memorabilia release coming out on WAX soon:



All I really wanted was a Joe Chaotic card, am waiting for the prices on them to come down a bit. Will have to settle for a fuckin' Carole Baskin card in the meanwhile.

Somebody sent me a 4 sat/byte tx 2 days ago and it still hasn't confirmed :/

Is 4 sat per byte too low to run through Via Bitcoin free transaction accelerator?

I did that earlier today, about 10 hours ago, still nothing... I suppose it will come through eventually. Not too much money so I'm not entirely worried about it.

whats up with the mempool??

Hashrate @ath and still we are congesting?

Hashrate has nothing to do with how quickly we clear the mempool.

Well, I suppose if the recent difficulty adjustment was higher than today's current hashrate we could see block times slow down just a little... but that's also normal.

Difficulty is a tad too high, block times remain wonky. Somebody sent me a 4 sat/byte tx 2 days ago and it still hasn't confirmed :/

Is Irishman that really good? I was about to watch it, but then when I notice that it is 3.5 hours, I was like, I might sleep on it if I continue watching.  Grin Please let me know if my 3.5 hours is really worth it.

I would say "yes," definitely a must-watch. Robert Deniro, Al Pacino, Joe Pesci and Harvey Keitel all in the same film -- these guys are all legends and don't have many movies left in them. However, since it is so long, I broke it up into 3 different sessions. Will probably watch it again at some point.

I'm on episode 5 of Dark so far. It's pretty good, a bit different. The exact premise of the show still hasn't been revealed, they tease you with little reveals each episode, but everything is slowly coming together. I've never watched a show made in Germany before. It's well-acted. Even the voice-over people are good actors, lol.

I watched episode 1 of Unsolved Mysteries... its OK. Not as interesting or bizarre as I had hoped, perhaps the other ones are better. I've also seen a few episodes of Altered Carbon a year or two ago. Some episodes kind of hurt to watch. I think I stopped after the one with the who mind torture thing, LOL.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I'm gonna stick with Dark to see how it pans out, but keep them coming if you have any more.

I certainly don't think I'm telling any tales out of school when I reveal that JimboToronto is up there with you, but I think you have him beat by a few years (don't know for sure). He's made this reveal about his age quite a few times in the Wall Observer thread, as well as in his first post on the forum. He spends a lot of time with his girlfriend (wife?) traveling through the jungle of Mexico and his consistently positive attitude is an inspiration to all the WOers.

His personal text is also rather fitting and sounds like it could apply to you as well:

"You're never too old to be young."

This is most certainly boombl4.

Here's the PM he sent me:



As you can see, he clearly states "if you think i am someone else than me, then place negative feedback."

And I do think he is someone else, so I left him a negative feedback, as he requested.

Turns out he didn't like that.

After calling me a "Pedophile and scammer" 5 times in my trust feedback, there's no way I will ever remove my negative on his account. However, I might update it to reflect these recent developments.

Yet that is exactly what you do when you assert my premise is not true. Your argument consists of

"These facts aren't true because these other independent facts over here exist."

That is the post YOU shared BTW, and didn't even bother reading the Wikipedia link you posted. This is your source.

Your disconnect from reality seems to have kicked up into the next gear.

On another note:



You're definitely the one who shared it. Let's break it down:

"This is convicted terrorist Susan Rosenberg" = ok, I have no problems with this part; she was part of a terrorist organization, she was convicted of a pretty serious crime, and that is her.

"she sits on the Board of Directors for the fundraising arm of Black Lives Matter" = not true.

"She was convicted for the 1983 bombing of the United States Capitol Building, the U.S. Naval War College and the New York Patrolmen's Benevolent Assoc" = none of this is true.

So to be fair, its 1-for-3 in terms of truthfulness, which still renders it generally untruthful.

Ad hominem. Base refutation without substantiation or support.

Yes lets break it down.

(1) "convicted terrorist"
(2) "she sits on the Board of Directors"
(3) "fundraising arm of Black Lives Matter"
(4) "She was convicted for..."

Are any of these numbered references not factual?


(1) (2) (3) (4) "Rosenberg was also identified as a member of the Thousand Currents board of directors in the charity’s Form 990s submitted to the IRS for its 2016, 2017 and 2018 fiscal years, indicating that the former terrorist has been involved with the group for the entirety of its fiscal sponsorship arrangement with the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, which began in 2016."

https://www.westernjournal.com/convicted-terrorist-released-bill-clinton-now-sits-board-blms-fundraising-organization/



(2) "As of June 2020, the vice chair of Thousand Currents board of directors was Susan Rosenberg, a former member of the Weather Underground and May 19th Communist Organization who spent 16 years in federal prison before having the remainder of her sentence commuted by President Bill Clinton in 2001.[56]"

... Susan Rosenberg sits on the board of a non-profit that is tied to Black Lives Matter's fundraising operations; reaction from former NYPD Commissioner Bernie Kerik."

https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/motorsports/exposing-black-lives-matters-ties-to-convicted-domestic-terrorist/vp-BB16vq1O


(3) "In 2016, BLM Global Network approached Thousand Currents to create a fiscal sponsorship agreement. Thousand Currents, a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization, provides the legal and administrative framework to enable BLM to fulfill its mission. Fiscal sponsorship is a common structure utilized by nonprofit organizations. Oftentimes, nonprofit initiatives seek fiscal sponsorship to be able to have the fiscal sponsor handle administrative operations while the organization focuses on its programs and builds up its own organizational infrastructure. In this capacity, we provide administrative and back office support, including finance, accounting, grants management, insurance, human resources, legal and compliance. Donations to BLM are received as restricted donations to support the activities of BLM."

https://thousandcurrents.org/black-lives-matter/



(4) "Ms. Rosenberg was arrested in November 1984, when she and a companion, Timothy A. Blunk, were caught unloading 740 pounds of dynamite and weapons, including a submachine gun, from their car off Interstate 295 in Cherry Hill, N.J. She admitted that she was planning to supply the explosives to others for bombings and has apologized for the crime.
But at the time, Ms. Rosenberg was also wanted for fleeing while under indictment for charges that included federal racketeering and bank robbery.
The indictment covered the Oct. 20, 1981, attack on the Brink's truck by a band of people that included members of the Weather Underground and the Black Liberation Army. The security guard was killed in the Nanuet Mall, and the two police officers were killed in a roadblock shootout. The robbers took $1.6 million. Federal investigations later showed that Ms. Rosenberg lived for a year in New Haven with Marilyn Jean Buck, the driver of the getaway car.
In the explosives case, Ms. Rosenberg was convicted in 1985 of eight counts of possessing explosives, weapons and fake identification cards. She was sentenced to 58 years in prison. The length of the sentence gave Rudolph W. Giuliani, then the United States attorney, reason to drop the charges in the Brink's robbery. Ms. Rosenberg objected at the time, but to no avail."

This is an awful lot of work you went through to not disprove or even contradict the following points I made:

Quote
"she sits on the Board of Directors for the fundraising arm of Black Lives Matter" = not true.

"She was convicted for the 1983 bombing of the United States Capitol Building, the U.S. Naval War College and the New York Patrolmen's Benevolent Assoc" = none of this is true.

The post you shared remains largely untrue.
