Leading 1s are really difficult to crank out. I have one with seven leading 1s: 11111114xFJyTxJVCRkxd317yNdTekc1
Not bad. That would take about 80 days to generate with a single 970 or equivalent. |

We're going to build a buy wall and Bitfinex is going to pay for it. The wall is going to cost $10 billion. That's what it's going to cost. It's going to be a powerful wall. It's going to be $10 billion high and we are going to watch it. It will go up so fast your head will spin. Right? It’s going to happen. Going to happen. They know it. I know it. We all know it. Just remember that. And you remember I said it…. It's going to be a serious wall. It's going to be a real wall. It's not going to be a wall that they just climb up, and you know, you see what they do, over.
and it will be paid by Mexico  I heard Putin was going to pay for the wall through a Mexican intermediary. Isn't that why American hackers meddled in the Russian election to ensure a Putin victory? Naturally, Putin is saying the cyber-attacks did not impact the outcome of the election and he's blaming Canada for it's lax immigration policies. Apparently the FSB and the GRU both agree that there was meddling but the GRU does not believe Canada was able to influence the outcome. Developing... |

Well good afternoon Bitcoinland. Just got online after successful surgery Friday. I see I missed some excitement while I was away... big dip and big recovery... currently $8172USD/$10700CAD (Bitcoinaverage). It's pretty much back to where it was before I went in. Woke up and decided to fire up the laptop just in time to catch the end of the rally. I guess my bladder alarm still works.  Nothing to do now but relax in the Mexican sun and convalesce until I get my sutures removed on Thursday. I can't fly for at least a couple more weeks but at least I can head out to the jungle later this week. I'm currently toothless with very fragile gums after bone grafts to my jaws. Needless to say, I'm on a totally liquid diet. Ever have pork tacos pureed in a blender? Delicious! Did anybody actually read Jimbos post ? Jimbo, i apologise in behalf of all these money orientated people here, they have nothing other than money in their brain. You heartless bunch. I read it...the dude is chillin in the sun sippin on some blended tacos. Livin it up! Pureed pork tacos, eh? Chillin in the sun you say? It seems more like JimboToronto is preparing for a clandestine mission to the moon!  Godspeed. |

Speaking of capitulation, I'm CONSIDERING starting to contemplate selling a batch - if I can - between $7.5-$8k before end of March just to get the tax monkey off my back. Sent an email to my accountant asking what the penalty is on $xM deferred from Q1 to Q2.
Seriously.
Sheeeit.
No proud to admit this.
Also, I've come to recognize everyone doing trade analysis of Bitcoin is full of shit.
EVERYONE.
guilty and still hodling |

Very roughly : BTC at ~2k = 40BN, Best 20 alts at $60BN total, gives a bottom of ~100BN.
If that ever happens, I'll do what McAffee has promised for 2020 1 million's prediction.  I hope you realize that John plans to eat this -  |

Guys, I have consulted the Epitome of Divination on the subject of Bitcoin to put our minds at ease, allow our souls to rest easy and also to get some of us eating again... ...and the Magic 8 ball says:  |

Hmmm... I wonder, has anyone tried to enter a negative sign in front of the merit amount? Perhaps it does work.
An Error Has Occurred! Invalid amount Thanks! I was afraid that trying it would crash the board and I have a lot (more) angry people after me. |

Am I alone in thinking that this is the true beginning of the demise of bitcoin?  Have you just bought this account? Someone of your vintage should be exactly like this right now -  Exactly!! By now, you should be the Prime Minister of the Government of a federated.... wait, what?! ...oh I get it Shirtless right? Should allow to take Merits away for such ... insult? I wish I could remove merit points for the incorrect grip on that spinning gear while attempting to portray the image of an avid outdoorsman. ^That's an insult! ^and that makes that an insult #insult 2

Just HODLing, nice and easy. I'm still around too; just off messing around with Haiku.  |

Satoshi vision conference ?
Is there any evidence AT ALL that satoshi's vision was to "scale" bitcoin by cramming more and more transactions into blocks until the point where full node operators need to open a data center and purchase a T1 line? Where the hell does ver get this crap about this being "satoshi's vision"? ...that has nothing to do with the number of transactions. Can you be more specific? What has nothing to do with the number of transactions? The number of transactions has nothing to do with the choice to build a data center. ooooookkkkkk. You are off on a different planet buddy. Open source. We know how it works. Have known from the start. You are the one making an assertion here. In what way does the number of transactions force miners into data centers? It might help this discussion to note that full node ≠ miner |

Look at Bob, he has probably paid more in taxes than an average person would need to live their entire life. It's costly, yep, but I guess you buy some peace of mind with that. Not because it is fair or even moral, but just because you avoid such potential problems.
Of course we all have the right to gamble on the risk of not doing it. That's each person decision.
That's the point: I don't pay taxes as a matter of principle, just like I don't pay extortionists, which is the same. If I have to live as a mafiaman and risk everything all the time, so be it. The Revolution is not for gays. Now I feel as though there will be IRS agents infiltrating our party. I suggest we have to sign a message with our posted addresses to gain entry. Maybe r0ach can guard the door to keep the riff raff out  |

I know you know about r/K, so tell me how this sounds to you.
People either think in an r way or a K way, to varying degrees. When a hard r and a hard K meet, they instinctively recognize one another for what they are, and instantly hate eachother.
So far as I have been able to apply r/K selection theory to my peer group, equating Liberal r to Conservative K, I've unfriended friends and family on social media over their liberal views. Don't care if I ever cross paths with them at family functions in the future, ever again. EDIT: I'm a firm 2nd Amendment supporter, and the reee's and tears from my Liberal contacts, in the wake of this recent Florida School shooting, was enough to say "You know what Bob. You're retired. You don't have to deal with any shit you don't want to deal with any more. Fuck 'em". We have kids literally marching to have their rights taken away from them. What sort of fucked up alternate-reality have I slipped into ?! Nothing wrong with healthy debate and the pro-2nd amendment side needs your support. Those kids are marching to give away a tangible item because they dont know any better. It's not a right to them, it's just a thing; a gun they're giving up and since they dont use them anyway, they dont see it as giving up anything. They need proper education so they can make a more informed choice. Educate them Bob! |

Do you realize we were talking about a $100K party? 0.5BTC would be $50K by then.... Quoting for posterity! Oh, sheeit. LOL. I must have missed the "$100k Party" part. $50k of booze in one night ? Is that even possible ? Without anyone dying ? EDIT: Now, if the devils weed is legally available in Nevada, that could be fun doing $25k of booze and $25k of edibles/veggies. EDIT2: Yep. Legal in Nevada. https://potguide.com/nevada/marijuana-laws/ $50k for booze in Canada in one night is doable. That's how we pay for our universal health care. Let's not have the party here... unless we think somebody is going to require medical care in the aftermath. |

Make it on Las Vegas during summer and I'm sold. Probably the only place in the world that could stand the assorted and extravagant bunch of us celebrating that awesome milestone in the most extreme and extravagant ways Maybe we could even hire the Vodoo Lounge at the Rio (51st floor) just for our party. Does anyone here have any experience of internet meets? I have a sneaking feeling they'd be fucking horrifying. And for some of the longstanding members there must be people with grudges against them out there, let alone blown opsec with wallet balances being linkable. I'll send an actor. Or a cat. I was involved in arranging/attending a BBS party and it was pretty cool. The difference being that everyone resided within the local calling codes of the BBS. What was most surprising was that there were no surprises. Even though we were anonymous and had nicknames, people were pretty much the same as their online personas. I left the party a little too early though because apparently i missed Rapunzel's table dance.  If i remember correctly, she was the resident cat lady; an eccentric artist. |

Asking for a friend...
That's another form of the "royal" we.... hahahahaha Just note to all potential beggars.  That's the french revolution version of fake news and if Macron has his way, we wont be able to see it! I wonder if works of historical fiction will also be banned? Then what of mythology and fokelore? Fake news! |

Sadly it lost its coveted position of the world’s most expensive coffee. There's other rarer stuff shit out by different, more exotic animals that's now selling for more.
I remember a pair of Hyacinth Macaws at a place I worked years ago. You could walk up to the cage, give them a nut, and they would either hand it back to you or drop it on the ground. If they handed it back it was perfect. If they dropped it, it was bad. There is no difference in the nuts from the outside. Impressive. PS: I see that Macallan site doesn't take bitcoin. What wankers. This thread could use a pair of Hyacinth Macaws to sort out the good and bad nuts... It'd be a lot of work for them since I'm fairly certain we are mostly nuts. |

I think youre right. My urine is perpetually bright yellow... I'm going to cut out the b100. Thanks for the advice!
Tell us more about your urine. Seriously though, I do find this interesting. Didn't think it was possible to OD on the Bs. Well when i eat asparagas...  |

Thanks very much for the information! I didnt realize that B6 was stored in muscles and tissue and i didnt consider all of the sources. I'd better check my own intake. I've been taking a B100 plus a multivitamin for years but i consume a lot of protein shakes and bars as well.
Youre already taking way too much. B100 is ludicrous and should be pulled from the market. Why do people need 100x RDAs of vitamins? The only one we have trouble absorbing is B12. Eveything else is at best a burden to your kidneys/liver/hydration/wallet and at worse toxicity. I think youre right. My urine is perpetually bright yellow... I'm going to cut out the b100. Thanks for the advice! |
