my fear is second layer will not be fixed properly
{snip crap}
when ltc/doge is designed to never vanish.

BTW This is why JJG always attacks me as he knows that long term on paper right now.

LTC/Doge has a better design than BTC.

but beta was said to be better than vhs.

So BTC can still prevail.

I stack more BTC than Doge and LTC.

Hello friends!

Old poll results:

Back above $30,000 but still ranging between $29,500 and $31,800. It’s getting a bit boring but we’ll have a significant breakout within the next month or so. My bet would be to the upside.

Nothing else to say really, apart from buy any significant dip.

We’re in the first weeks of a new bull market, nothing exciting until 2024 unfortunately. Time to kick back and enjoy the rest of the summer.

We have what we deserve, don't forget that.

Is it too late?... We are about the point of no return, and you all know it.

Regards and good luck

I really hate to say it, but it looks like we're going lower boys.. He did it again..

I see an opportunity here.  Does the league need a hazing ritual for new members?  Let's put it up to a vote for all of last year's participants.  You know, like the clusterfuck for all the league settings we had last year.  I feel hazed.  

My suggestion for the league hazing ritual; find the shittiest shitpost that you have made (and survived the mods) and post it in the hall of shame thread.

  Welcome aboard!

good idea but remembering six-digit hex codes is not really easy compaired to seed phrases. is there a way to read the hex code from a painting? I know that there is a tool in photoshop.

^Okay, with all the discussion around AI generated content, I want to conduct a little test to see if you guys can discern AI from reality.  Obviously, this is an informal test but here goes.  (feel free to use one of those detection tools on it as well).  It's not necessary for everyone to respond to this post - I'll update this post with an edit at  ~2100 UST to let you know.  Oh, regardless of what comes after this, I still love you JJG

I just wanted to bring up a point about JJG's forum postings. Don't get me wrong, the guy knows his stuff and has some really useful insights. But seriously, he uses way too many words to make a simple point! I mean, come on, who has the time to read through a novel every time he posts something? It's like he's trying to show off how smart he is by using a million unnecessary words. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate a well-thought-out argument, but sometimes brevity is key.

Let me know what I need to do to join this cause I definitely could use more distractions in my life.

US judge rules Ripple $XRP is not a security

In a significant ruling a US judge has declared Ripple XRP as not a security ending a years long legal battle with the SEC. The judge denied the SEC motion against the digital asset and ruled against its claims of XRP being a security. This landmark decision could have far-reaching implications for the cryptocurrency industry as a whole.

(Reuters) -U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres said Ripple Labs Inc’s institutional sales of its XRP digital token violated federal law because they constituted the unregistered offer and sale of investment contracts, according to a ruling on Thursday.

The SEC had accused the company and its current and former chief executives of conducting a $1.3 billion unregistered securities offering by selling XRP, which Ripple's founders created in 2012.

Torres, who is based in New York, said the company's $728.9 million of XRP sales to hedge funds and other institutional buyers amounted to unregistered sales of securities. However, Torres said the case must go to trial so a jury can decide other aspects of the SEC's claims.

 WTF?!  I thought conspiracy theories were exclusively under the purview of far-right, flag-waving, bigoted, xenophobic, misogynistic, racist, nazi extremists?
 

edit: Oh... never mind.  They still are.

...OT: Gotcha...to me, it would be easier to build those using silicon than cells, but I could be totally wrong.

...but here we are, just 6 years later, and at least some aspects of human thinking were already emulated by a machine, it seems.
The question remains only on how deep this emulation goes.

interesting, but they are not doing anything, really, being just cells on a mesh substrate.
here is something more interesting...also not dangerous (at least not yet): xenobots

Before we would have any danger from those little clamps, imho, we would be in a real one from mechanical one's.
