Murdock found guilty of both murders. As watched by me on NBC news a few minutes ago.

…..

You mean Murdaugh

Murdoch (also in news) is the asshole Fox News CEO who under oath admitted Fox News lied about all the election fraud nonsense. Gee, you don’t say…..

http://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/27/business/media/fox-news-dominion-rupert-murdoch.html

Thanks for the correction

so Murdaugh and Murdoch but not Murdock. Got it.









Thats one more for me buddy.

5126  Economy / Speculation / Re: Mt. Gox will release bitcoin in march - what's next? on: March 03, 2023, 02:54:10 AM
If these repayments are made between March and September as the article suggests, then we could see price stay between $20K and $25K for another 6 months it seems. Not convinced all creditors will want to sell when price is down -65%, but no doubt most will sell a reasonable amount. Overall the selling pressure could create some healthy stability for over a years worth of sideways, as opposed to bouncing back to $40K or $50K. I imagine bears are licking their lips thinking that this will be what drives Bitcoin to make a new low nearer $10K, but personally I think that ship has already sailed.




its not down 65% for those people

it is up well over 10x

the highest price in 2014 was 800

the lowest price in 2014 was 300

so depending on your buy in

the ath in 2013 was 1300

we are at at 22k

so

 300
 800
1300

all way less than 22k

if I had mt gox coins coming as coins I sell half and take the huge gains

I would hold the other half.

You could have been a wee bit MOAR nicer about it.

In dudder words:  You are absolutely no fun.

 Tongue



this is my fun face



---------

ive seen close to 200mb down and 50mb up with the starlink...more than enough for now...they do offer a 1gb high performance model but its like $1500

---------

volatility likely to continue into the weekend

stronghands

how true also consider picking up a piece if you can afford it.

also coinbase went down with connection issues





Buddy loses today on march 2nd

@jjg why so short a post.

 where is your wall.

I gotta pace myself... a self-directed mandate

To jjg this is why I am prepared downwards action
along with sideways
and of course for up

I am not easily convinced.. especially given some of your various nonsenses over the past showing some of your own distractions and even providing frameworks that you present as if they were generally applicable and they show general seemingly ongoing problems in your own approach and thinking in regards to various bitcoin-related matters.. .. and it is likely a waste of time to even try to convince this here gobblin.

Huh. Almost felt something there for a moment.

Oh well. Back to this shit human existence...

Well I am hoping for further dipping with luck we can fall to 21.5k
I would get more dip near that point.

Exhibit A... case in point....

hoping for downity.. .. and even more downity, at that.. . shows problems in your discussion of the matter and where you likely should be in life as a 67-ish year old who has been in bitcoin for around 11 years.. but hey, who am I to say?

Well for my circumstances I am spread 3 ways

uppity
sideways
downwards


Your thoughts are that I am not prepped enough for up

so I pick down over up.


those thoughts  are not the reasons I prefer down or sideways over up at this moment in time.

At this moment I have yet to fill out the mine at what I consider dip or bargain prices for gear.

So I am not perfectly positioned for up.

But my method of buying gear is slow not huge very much a monthly piece very much like dca.

We could use 4-6 new units we got get them all now or go slower .

My risk assessment is go slower do not pluge in and get those pieces today.

Once I get them I don't care about downward dips or sideways.

I could buy all 6 s19 pros today for 9000 but it is stupid and risky. Or I can get one every month and be done by sept.

Most of this is not strict coin purchase or invest meant  it is roundabout method of getting coin.

Als0 being involved with btc 2012 to 2017 was as a non-believer gear head.

being involved  with btc 2018 to 2023 was as a believer.

out our mine with the four of us has done really well in the last 5 years.

I would love starlink unfortunately I do not think it is in my area yet and I think it might be too expensive when it is available. I wonder how long it will take to get global coverage and if prices will go down or continue at the current rate. Starlink will probably take over the internet when it is fully running and there will be other companies trying to setup their own satellites or maybe rent them off of Elon Musk and resell the hardware.

100+ speed will be enough for most people but what upload are you getting? I find that ISP provided internet through lines only get a small upload speed compared to the download but I do not know if they are intentionally limiting that because they should have enough resources and the cables can support more then the 20 I get.

I know this might be sci fi talk for now but I wonder if we will ever get DIY satellites and combine that with a Bitcoin node. Maybe not as a professional product but as a fun hobby thing. I guess it would probably be illegal to launch your own satellites though.

I am 200 down 50 up most of the time.

I could pay for 1000 down and 150 up but so far I dont need that speed.

I am mostly hardwire eth to a hard wire cable company.

starlink just became available in my area and im on it now. easy to self install (took about an hour including the roof mount and drilling holes for the cable run. kit comes with everything you need - 2 drill bits (a concrete/masonary bit for the through holes in the foundation, and one wood bit to drill mounting holes on the roof or siding and into studs/rafters, plus a couple kinds of sealers, templates, cable clips for running the line neatly, etc.

and 99.9% uptime so far. speeds are pretty good, faster than any inet ive had available around here by a LOOOOONG shot... although the previous bar was pretty low indeed.

tlrd: starlink rocks... blockchain cranks dling now. and just in time to grab all that bloat from nfts.... ah well progress is progress i guess.


How much speed do you you get with it?

depends on how i measure. starlink app says 183 Mb/s but i think thats wrong. i get a bit over 120 Mb/s (vaires) when dling a steam game for example. ive also seen it as low as 50 Mb/s.

might be my setup.. my setup goes dish -> starlink router+ the optional addon ethernet breakout cable (extra cost) -> to my rack mounted managed switch -> to a wifi AP.. all hardwired. with cat5e

so it depends on what machine is running the speed test on and how its connected. i can go on startlinks wifi, my netgear wifi AP or wired.

still messing with it a bit. theres like 12 devices hanging off it.

the switch could be 1ghi and if 12 devices are on it you will slow up.

likely the router  is the bottle neck.

still 50 mbs for your low is very good for a satellite.

My reason is because a lot of countries do not have internet every where. I lot of places in Africa need offline money and sending transactions offline with Bitcoin is difficult. It can be done by giving someone a seed of a set amount but that is not ideal. We need different currencies for different things. Bitcoin is the king when it comes to global transactions but when it comes to local and quick transactions physical might be better not always but in certain times.
Satellite will become more popular and given enough time the whole world will have internet access. The only places that might struggle will be the places where they do not have any power but I think this will improve too. The world is evolving and as soon as Bitcoin takes off the places with no power or internet will be encouraged to develop if the rest of the world is using Bitcoin.

I have to agree with you as satellites will achieve  world wide coverage in the next decade.

Given the sheer mass of material that has to be shot into space on a regular base to keep things working I have my doubts this will be sustainable for a long time.

Oh god I redid the math on re-entries:

Each Starlink v2 sat weighs 1250kg.  They plan to have 42,000 of them in orbit.

Each satellite has a planned lifetime of 5 years.  That means they'll be de-orbiting and replacing ALL of them every 5 years.

That comes to 23 sats per day, which is 29 TONS OF SATELLITE every day.

It doesn't go away, it gets added to the upper atmosphere.  Most of the mass is aluminum.  What the hell is that going to do?  

WHY THE FUCK IS THIS OK?!

^ And again, that's only for Starlink, there are many more.


To bring up the point about stupidity and government this goes to further proving that by playing the we are a stupid government card they will make endless money with these multiple launches.

Who the fuck came up with that plan

42,000 x 1250= 52,500,000 kg or ½ of an aircraft carrier.

I imagine being aluminum would help it burn up better when it crashes

What are you running it (starlink) off? Solar power going into a battery bank and then running it directly off the battery pack into the satellite? Does it move or is it stationary? I cannot think why it would use as much energy as you say because if it does not have a motor it should just be pointing at the satellite and if that does not move it just sends the connection back. If it has a motor and follows the satellite I can see why it would use a lot of energy.

the dish has motors (3 axis i think.. ) and does change. ive seen it pointing to varying degrees north and east as well as change its azmith (may have those terms wrong)

anyway it does move, and there seems to be no real pattern. but as long as it works..

btw my starlink and the rest of the network stack are on a UPS.  and i highly recommend a UPS at LEAST for the startlink. turns out if you power it off and on 3 times in a row it resets to a blank password and anyone can then take over your starlink. as starlink didnt bother with a dedicated hard reset switch on the router. so 3 power cycles is how it done.  so of course  3 power glitches in short succession is faily common around here. doh..   gotta wonder sometimes. great tech but the occasional horrid implementation.

typical good gear bad soft ware.

what UPS do you own? there are some good ones out there. with additional battery to add to it.

Yeah they are. And if you manage to get a good one you become somewhat subservient to it.

Thus no F.U. status unless you have the money to fully replace it and do not care if they (the man) eliminates it.
