We're all away of the lingering crisis which has befallen Ukraine since its invasion by the Russian military. Since then all effort put in place to restore peace has so far proven abortive. Lives and properties have been destroyed and billions of dollars spent yet, Russia has refused to back off and Ukraine refused to surrender.

Now I'm pushed to ask if you were to be the Ukraine president, would you consider to surrender so as to stop this continuous destruction or prefer to continue the defense?

When a man gets married to a woman to become husband and wife, they become one and everyone expects that they can get to share everything with each other. I know of women who have the passwords to their husbands bank cards and they can make withdrawals on his behalf. I will like to ask the Men here if they have shared their seed phrase with their wife's? I will like to ask the women here how they will feel if their husbands refuse telling them their seed phrase?

Dogecoin gained popularity due to its low cost as well as its welcoming community. Its community of users behind Dogecoin is involved on various social platforms, and it gained popularity specifically from Reddit.

Doge could fail because -
Dogecoin could fail in the near future due to its outdated blockchain technology. The Dogecoin blockchain is built on the Litecoin blockchain, which is based on Bitcoin's Blockchain.
One of the main issues with old blockchains is that they're not scalable. They are unable to manage large volumes of transactions without slowing down or mistakes.

Investors advice on investing in Dogecoin now as this is being the best time to purchase doge. Dogecoin prices are expected to rise as we approach the annual close. The increase in price fluctuations may eventually assist the price to soar and as per Coinpedia doge price prediction it will close the year at $0.118.

Are these cons going to result in dogecoin price failing or Elon Musk support for it make this coin price increase?

Attention please , just I asked for learning.

Assuming we are in 2072 where blocked rewards 0.0007629  BTC per every 10 minutes. And Halving BTC mined in cycle 160.2172 BTC

How can mining be commercially profitable in this situation seems very difficult to me.
Assuming that mining power consumption, electricity costs, and maintenance costs will be lower in a tech-driven economy, what will be the condition of the BTC market if BTC mining blocked mined cycle approach zero?

I tried this before with various coins and algos and let me tell you that the variance will kill you and you will give up.

The issue is that say you should find 1 block per day. What happens if you don’t find a block on day 1 or 2 or 3 or 7? Will you still mine?

The variance will eventually make you quit and join a pool. If your hashrate was higher, say 10 blocks a day then i would say try it but with this little hash rate it’s not worth it.

I like the concept of a GPU form factor ASIC miner but, like Phillip said, too good [to be true].
It has to be made with available ASIC chips so the power claims are obviously out of line.

just seen videos and informations on litecoin talk forum about a brand called lokotech, developing a scrypt hashblade that uses a gpu slot with asic chips to mine ltc and doge, according to them it produces 2gh/s and uses 150 watts.

i only found their videos of presentation in a conference its on youtube, youtubers talking about it, and their a company from norway, dont know much about them, there is no hashrate, no hardware for now, just promises, im.a bit skeptic about them, i know eventualy in time hardware and chips can be more eficient.

heres the link :

https://litecointalk.io/t/lokotech-scrypt-asic/56593

their website https://www.lokotech.no/

i have no affiliation with none of them, just to be clear.
some shiller youtubers have videos on this as well.

coments?

you get it exactly backwards, imho.

difficulty drop does not affect the price, it's the other way around.
why your thesis is incorrect: if difficulty drops cause price to decrease, then difficulty rise would have to cause price to increase, but we have almost 3X difficulty in comparison with Nov 2021 when bitcoin was at about 70K (more than 4X higher).

Once the price is "too low" the dificulty temporarily drops because marginal/unprofitable miners disconnect.
Once thing is right, though...typically two periods (or more) of significant difficulty drops indicate a price bottom (going forward).

If you have no energy cost issues meaning that energy is not a problem with you,you either have a very cheap price for it or your devices are in a place where the energy bills are already paid in advance then it is worth mining in solo despite having only a small hash rate but even that small hash rate have some slight chances of getting a block and getting all the rewards from that block.

The best to do in your case though since electricity is no problem is to mine normally in a pool and stock up your doge every day a little,this is a sure reward while mining solo it can even be mining in vain if you don't manage to hit a block during the time you solo mine.

With the recent rise in commodity prices, including the rise of fuel prices, it naturally say that mining will not be profitable at this time. Because of the high cost of the equipment required for mining and the rise in electricity costs will certainly not be profitable. According to 2019 report by the Congressional Research Service, the power we get for one ASIC can use the same amount of power as half a million PlayStation 3 devices. As a result, the cost will naturally increase manifold. As the difficulty and complexity of Bitcoin mining increases at the same time need more computing power. When Bitcoin is bullish, it becomes very difficult to take profits from it. In that case, the current price of Bitcoin is about 75 percent lower than the peak value, so how is it possible to continue mining operations in a bearish market? I think no one wants to take such a big risk.

Merry Christmas everybody, I got a box of chocolates and a book and some firewood and a bathrobe, and some other stuff. Now I'm going to bed to read my book

God Jul!

Even though there seem to be pretty obvious partisan aspects to this matter, I think that we get distracted if we accept stupid-ass political frameworks in the ways that we get mad about the various appearances of injustices and improprieties in this case so far.

Sure, he probably should not have been released.

Sure there are probably some political players whose heads might need to roll.

Fuck the partisanship framing.

Let's try to focus..


Focus ur lil selfie. 


Yes, one of the charges, already has the breaking of campaign contribution laws already contained therein, and yes, we need to keep digging regarding the various connections.. whether right, left center or whatever, that money needs to get back to clients to make them whole on a broad level.. . and also we need to make sure that we continue to talk about this in terms of the various frauds, cover-ups, influence peddling, potential attacks on bitcoin in terms of not holding bitcoin on behalf of clients or to make sure that they had enough to cover clients, and even bullshit distractions trying to blame CZ and Binance for frauds that SBF, FTX, Alameda and the various principle agents had committed and connections that still are not clear.. yes.. let's look.. but don't get deflected and distracted into stupid, superficial and emotionally-ladened framings.

KEEP your cool FOLKS!!!!!!!!


In other words:























Calm DOWN !!!!!!!!




and happy holidays, too.



Oh my....


Almost not feeling like having a strong stomach when looking at that... but at least it doesn't seem to be partisan... perhaps? 

Isn't everything vulnerable to partisanship these days?


I sent you a merit even though I disagree with several of your points... and several seem to be making confusing connections.. even though weaved in some decently valid points too.. so you probably believe that gobble-dee-gook ...

and don't even get me wrong.. there are people who believe even worse gobbledy gook than you, so it can be helpful that you outline it.


Regarding the one above highlighted point, I understand that you are saying that money printing ends up giving money towards more normies being able to buy I savings bonds, and sure that is factually true... but it is not really a very good explanation in regards to what is going on with I savings bonds.. so yeah, the US government is engaging in its own internal contradictions by creating the most stringent of monetary policies to cause the dollar to be the strongest of the currencies and for value to be attracted to the dollar... so in that sense there has developed a way to get away with this because the USD is the strongest of the fiats... and the policies of stringent policies will cause money to gravitate towards to the dollar... but the printing of money is the opposite and undermines the dollar.. but the printing of the money is more subtle and no one seems to be able to measure it very easily.  .. but the printing of the money is not exactly directly supporting the buying of the Ibonds.. because the IBonds end up getting supported by having the highest nominal interest rates (and may well not have positive real rates.. but the least bad fiat)... so I would suggest that when the dollar gets so fucked up that the printing ends up having to buy the Ibonds directly rather than attracting suckers like you to buy them, then we are really fucked when the situation gets that circular... which may happen a couple more cycles down the road.

I don't claim to be any genius.. but just wanted to say that your way of framing the matter just comes off as weird, even though it is not completely factually inaccurate, but not really that great of a way of describing matters in order to help to appreciate the kind of desperation going on.. that at the same time may well allow for the kicking of the can down the road for one, two or maybe even three cycles.. and surely, we cannot even know for sure if the whole bunch of bullshit might come crashing down more quickly than expected either.. and whether the crash is slow or it takes 30-50 years, it remains good to keep building bitcoin allocations.. and the amount of bitcoin allocation is going to vary from person to person in regards to his/her personal circumstances.. and sure institutions and governments are coming more into bitcoin too.. so great that individuals have been able to front run institutions and governments to the extent that individuals do not overly get caught up in bullshit narratives that fail and refuse to adequately account for bitcoin's role in this..

Actually one of the better sources of information regarding points that I am trying to lamely make is Jeff Booth.. price of tomorrow and various other talks (podcasts) that he participates in that address these kinds of topics in regards to what is going on with money and how these matters are playing out.
