The graph looks great but at the end of the day, it's just a prediction that could happen or not, nothing is special with that.
Yeah, and I don't buy into TA at all so graphs and predictions made from looking at them don't impress me in the least.

Some parts of TA can be nice and self fulfilling...
If we're including things like psychological levels and vpvr then I can see some use from it. Otherwise it's just people holding off doing something because they think something with their analysis and are trying to pass it on to other people to allow for it to be fulfilled and them seem right.

You think the price is going to go down, find a way to reinforce it and place your order just before publishing it, you do that often enough then you might get somewhere. Ethics go beyond the comprehension of most people these days it seems too...

To clarify, you're using v 3.3.8?

Have you got a firewall enabled or antivirus and are you definitely connected to the Internet? Check the icon at the end of your task tray on every OS... And see if it says its connected or open a browser and try visiting any site on the machine.

Dunno how much I'd trust downloading an app from a site, let alone buying a test kit from one.
Good news! but problem is, is it maintain international standard that is given by WHO? i think this is very challenging because if it gives false report, there is a chance to spread Virus. So be careful everybody.

Is it a blood test, if so that might be more dangerous.
4484  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Crash Back to 3800$ on: March 30, 2020, 01:50:25 PM
Are you saying he's calling it or he already called it?

We already clashed back to 3800 so it wouldn't be unreasonable or in my view unlikely thst we flash there again, we may even it 3400 as a quick flash or 4300 (either way). I don't think it'd be much of news now if we sank to those levels for a week or so and then bounced back up again...
4485  Economy / Economics / Re: How long this crisis will be? on: March 30, 2020, 02:19:15 AM
Where I live, you can't even get tested if you have very obvious corona virus symptoms, so none of those people are being counted as "confirmed cases." Only high risk and severe (hospitalization required) cases are receiving tests. Those people are much more likely to die.

Yes this is true. Its why worldometer lists the number of recovered to be half the number that have it. Until then antibody tests just aren't worthwhile...

The only time you're tested in this country is if you begin to have severe difficulty breathing or are already dead... Its up to people themselves here to self isolate if they're at risk and for healthy people to social distance, for now... The government is busy building temporary hospitals and mortuaries and this will merely be a precaution as standard undertakers expect a fairly regular death rate.

The q4 stats for the NHS bed usage was at around 90% and I went into accident and emergency last year in the summer in one of the best resourced hospitals in the country and they all seemed extremely rushed... This seems like it'll be a huge problem unless they can source more people to help - once enough ventilators are sourced.

We're trying to minimise the curve while expecting enough healthy people to develop immunity to the virus to try to stop it spreading further. An additional risk that may or may not have been looked into is how well SARS-nCOV-2 can mutate and reinfect people that caught the first one but so far, outside of wuhan only one strain is known to have taken.

(death stats are put at about 1-2%, for the UK that's at least 1 nurse and 1 military officer per person). But data on ventilation use would be difficult to plot imo.
4486  Economy / Economics / Re: How long this crisis will be? on: March 27, 2020, 06:06:09 PM
What scares me is that it's the politicians who are making all the decisions, and they don't always tend to be scientific, even if the politicians are relying on scientific advisers. 

My guess is that it'll be another couple of months of hysteria and then the virus will burn itself out--hopefully, and again that's just my guess.  People are talking about how we're living in a different world now, but we really aren't.  This isn't the first epidemic the world's faced, and IMO it could have been a hell of a lot worse.  Imagine if the mortality rate for COVID-19 was a lot higher than it is.  People would be locking themselves in their houses even more than they're doing now.

In my area there are still a lot of businesses that are still open, including some that I would consider non-essential.  But we're doing alright in spite of that.

The herd immunity mentioned above is quite worrying. I'm in more favour of a CONTROLLED herd immunity where only people we know to be healthy can be given a dose of the virus - only then can we see a reduction in hospitalisations and death rate.

The government are taking the piss with their stay at home stuff only for essential work when we all know their work can really be done from home... I don't know why they were still going out... Stay in, but we're not. I don't trust the government in their views, our chief medical officer seems to be better versed but I hope there are several doctors discussing things. It's easy to forget work you've done in the past even when you spend a long time on it if it hasn't been refreshed recently.

I worry the government are going to try to kill off all the vulnerable people to try to make it look like they're fully funding the NHS and can keep making reductions there... With reduced wait times.

Use of ventilation for favourable patients is also weird as you can get a chain smoker of age 30 giving a space up for a 60 year old who's healthy and they have higher life expectancy... But are they going off how long people have left or how long they have now or a proportion of both.
4487  Economy / Economics / Re: How long this crisis will be? on: March 27, 2020, 03:58:02 PM
Hopefully the gov will just decide its more worthwhile to infect everyone determined healthy for 2 or 3 weeks and wait for them to recover and have enforced mass immunity of we can't get a vaccine fast enough...
Scary proposition given the long recovery timelines and hospitalization needs.

I see that the vast majority of UK people still share the view of their prime minister and government that it is better to let people get infected and gain immunity, but if we look at the example of Italy where mortality is more than 8%, the UK would with even less hospital capacity with this way of defense against the virus had several million casualties.

Unfortunately for the residents of the UK, as well as those in the USA, all that is currently happening in Italy, Spain and other European countries will happen to them, but given the measures they do not take, the consequences are likely to be even more drastic.

Actually I think spreading the pandemic in the UK isn't the worst idea... A lot of car producing companies and engineering firms have stepped down their production of cars and the control circuits used in them. These companies are aiming to produce 10000 ventilators in 3 weeks paid for at cost to the government. If it takes 6 weeks (likely for engineers tbh) we may see some slight issues in healthcare being busy but a lot of medium sized corporations here like the fact that they don't have to pay health insurance for their employees so I can see some trying to allow the government to use their equipment where they can't.

We also have large shopping centres in densely populated areas that won't have many people in them which may be able to be quickly reevaluated for housing emergency wards.

The excel conference centre is the first to attempt to be transformed by the army to house 4000 people.

Somewhere like the Trafford Centre has 200 shops in 3 miles. If we say that's 500 rooms (with most shops taking up the full 2 stories) then you could comfortably fit 16 beds a shop and have space for 3600 people there also.

We have slightly more beds than Italy but we don't yet have more ventilators. The major problem with this government's recent climate is that since the records I've found (2005) hospital beds have been in a reduction and there have been quite a few hospitals closed and companies going bankrupt that were meant to take over the construction of the new ones... I mean since our government can't even arrange a Skype conference until they have to I'm not surprised...

Looks pretty normal. I haven't enabled privacy feature on my electrum as I just use different wallets and would rather deal with privacy myself (and pay less for fees).

There may have been something of coin join or similar but there are ways where you'd find someone sending funds like you were and you'd get them to pay your bill and you'd pay theirs (obviously with a level of trust) and it anonymises you better. Also it stops some forms of blockchain forensics where all outputs are tracked to work as effectively as it could.

Difficult to determine, the most affected district in China is open again. Now, the world is waiting for them to come and give the vaccine, antidote and any help that will solve this crisis quickly.


Not sure how many people are going to trust a vaccine imported from China. Other drugs are different because you can do chemical tests to determine what they contain but I think vaccines are a little different. There's still a chance also that Europe will come up with some sort of vaccine before the end of this... (I'm not versed in licensing laws they may have to trial it in every customs area).

I am on the belief that this is not going to be as bad and long-lasting as those other crises in the past years and decades. We are certainly more advanced now. I am sure the vaccine is coming, and this calamity we are facing right now will significantly die down within the second quarter of this year. 

I guess the primary reason why the virus is spreading very fast is that people are hard-headed. People lack the urgency. People underestimated this virus early on. We are now caught in the middle of this by surprise and finally begun to realize how grave this goes only when the situation is already growing worse.

I agree with the first half of that definitely. Gone are the days where if one member of the family got sick the rest of the family got sick too.
I have travelled from one densely populated area to another over the past week (I S.I.d in the first place for about 2 weeks before moving as to not transport the virus and generally live a life social distancing anyway). But both places seemed to be taking the virus pretty seriously and both were fairly empty. Even police have moved away from the area too in order to assist with other tasks.

Was the post on topic with the original post at the start of a thread or a post the original poster made? Or was it in response to someone else in the thread?

Can you post what was deleted here or give a summary and suggest where you added it to the other topic...
4491  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: HEX Editor on: March 27, 2020, 03:09:28 AM
What do you actually have here? Are you able to open it in a text editor and see anything English?

Is it hexadecimal with just 1234567890abcde or does it have other letters and characters such as =.

What's keyA too? Could you post it's length if it is hexadecimal? People may be able to help but currently the op isn't greatly informative...
4492  Economy / Gambling / Re: warning:Never bet on betonline they Thieves on: March 27, 2020, 03:02:55 AM
But your $1100+$1900 have already been returned to you? If so then just be patient on the rest I don't think it's worth arguing with them and making them have issue with you until you get all of your funds back.
4493  Economy / Exchanges / Re: From UK, Understanding Investing Jargon help on: March 27, 2020, 02:56:45 AM
Adjusted volume is a best guess based on what the major exchanges (I think these are binance, coinbase, bitfinex and bittrex or bitfinex) suggest their volume is. They're assumed not to lie.

Reported volume is the volume the exchange suggests it has, generally they lie to show your assets will be more liquid there.

Not sure which exchanges are based in the UK mainly. I've used coinbase but their head office isn't in the UK Binance Jersey are in the UK (technically) but in a self governing channel island.

4494  Economy / Gambling / Re: warning:Never bet on betonline they Thieves on: March 27, 2020, 02:49:30 AM
Have you already got your $3000? If they're planning on sending the rest and you're already up anyway you may as well wait for them to do that...

Not sure exactly what the virus would do to prevent them but if they can't access the funds for that reason then I'd just be patient if they're still happy to transfer the funds to you...
4495  Economy / Economics / Re: How long this crisis will be? on: March 26, 2020, 05:45:01 PM
The madness will probably stop in q2/3 (in three months). I cna imagine everything reopening then if it doesn't get fixed.

Hopefully the gov will just decide its more worthwhile to infect everyone determined healthy for 2 or 3 weeks and wait for them to recover and have enforced mass immunity of we can't get a vaccine fast enough...

4496  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: BITCOINCORE on: March 26, 2020, 01:21:23 AM
From doing a bit of digging with core it seems you can decide whether you want to use a wallet file. Or a wallet folder. I think purpose is a newer version of the wallet name parameter I can see when I put the getwalletinfo in my version of core. If you specify a folder instead of a file the purpose or name field will allow you to work out which wallet you're viewing information for.
4497  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: BITCOINCORE on: March 26, 2020, 12:58:48 AM
It looks to be the name you ascribe to your wallet. Is it listed as unknown or just an empty string ""?

If it's an empty string then you can rename it to what you want it's just an additional functionality to allow you to use more than one wallet and quickly understand which one you're using...
4498  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: BITCOINCORE on: March 26, 2020, 12:41:59 AM
Is purpose autocorrected from something? I don't see it in the output?
4499  Other / Meta / Re: Bitcoin Discussion - Corona Virus Spamming on: March 26, 2020, 12:07:54 AM
~snip~

I'm luckily not on that list but I feel my thread in P&S was called for at the time, I had a quick look and couldn't find anything similar on the front page and I wanted to inform and have a discussion.



EUROPE are facing huge problems with this virus at least, it's understandable to see the amounts of threads. I'd offer a suggestion to tackle this be that we have threads at the top of each section for coronavirus discussion, we could even link them all as pinned threads (for now) and have them all redirect to a topic in off topic or politics and society (and without sigs and avatars being shown).

Everyone seems quite worried throughout the whole of western europe at least to the implications of this virus and its effect on daily lives with most firms being forced to close and compensated/lent resources interest free for the time they're shut. A lot of people are confused at to what they should be doing and want to try to vent in these times or find something even remotely productive for them to do.

And for most threads that are deleted, there's going to be some angry mob on meta going "my post got deleted what can I do?" and if that's not more annoying than coronavirus discussion (which quite frankly I've ignored most of the other topics and can't really understand why you guys can't) then this really got out of hand fast...

This isn't a normal circumstance, go away and come back in 2 weeks if it botheres you so much otherwise just leave people to try to rationalise what they want to.
4500  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Is there any online (web) tool where I could broadcast a new block I mined? on: March 25, 2020, 11:56:34 PM
Block explorers don't seem to like the idea of pushing blocks, I had a quick look at smartbit and blockchain.com and neither seem very happy with it.

You can push a hex transaction but I'm guessing you're after pushing the entire block for experimental purposed, in which case, what etf suggested might be your best option, I think the testnet blockchain is similar to the size of the litecoin blockchain and on my dual core 2GHz laptop, it seemed to take only about 8 hours to download and store the entire thing. It's not the best but if you really need it it's not that bad - load it up before sleep and wake up with the full sync.
