@malevolent. Yes it is arguable if dangerous or not, however, I reckon we can agree that it is not a soft drug.

Also, did you know that the Unabomber was part of a CIA mindcontrol, LSD experiment in Harvard.

Exchange owners of all people should surely know that predicting is a dumb business, and they make money no matter what the market conditions are anyway.

If I had a public platform I would go no further than things like 'I think Bitcoin is nice.'



However, he also said something that is very correct in his interview.

However, CZ warned that "historic events do not predict future events, so don't take that too literally," but explained the bitcoin halving will mean "it costs miners almost double what it does now to produce one bitcoin. Psychologically, those miners won't be willing to sell below that price."

He might be telling the miners to slap themselves because they will be selling below the costs of mining with only months left before the halving hehehe.

@Thekool1s. The point? I reckon it is always greed. I do not know how their gold backed cryptocoin scam works, however, it always ends on more wealth for themselves and less for their people.

The Iran government does not want an unseizable cryptocoin that cannot be taken down. It wants to scam similar to how those ICO scammers scam.

Why was Wilder not standing steadily after the 1st round? Was it the punch to the ear? The skeptical me reckons that someone put something in his water hehehe. Tyson Fury was also shown very relaxed before the fight and appeared to already know something hehehehee.

were people actually selling kilos of coke and heroin retail on SR? i always thought it was much more of a recreational scene. i have a friend who used to buy eighths of weed there. i never actually used it myself---too sketched out about having drugs mailed to my house.

Aye. Curtis Green, the bloke who was 'assassinated' by the bent DEA agent by being photographed with chicken soup on his chin and pretending to be dead was busted having been sent a kilo of coke. Probably by the DEA though.

I seem to recall some pretty high turnovers from real people.

The amounts don't really matter, it all comes from the same source, but possibly the same DEA guy was proposing the Masters of Silk Road or something that was going to be some type of wholesale operation. It was probably total hogwash but was under consideration.

He might be a DEA informant from the very beginning. The murder was clearly used to frame Ross.

@Vishnu.Reang. LSD and cocaine are not soft drugs. LSD is dangerous because it causes extreme hallucinations. Cocaine is one of the most addicitve drug in the world. However, agreed that they are less dangerous than Fentanyl and Fentanyl derivatives.

It is not a curse. Similar to Satoshi, he left the project on the right moment to let the developers and the community find their own way for the project. They did not want their projects to be centralized to the founder.
5667  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Ethereum: Welcome to the Beginning on: February 25, 2020, 01:12:17 AM
I was planning to open a new thread for this on the altcoin subforum, however, this might only be another fud. In any case, can someone explain what this is and if 2Miners is correct in its calculations?



Following an internal investigation, 2Miners managed to find out that all global ETC pools were reported the same drop in hashrate. At the same time, Antminer E3 was still performing fine on Ethereum pools, 2Miners said. The team immediately suggested that the issue was likely to be connected with directed acyclic graph (DAG) — a file that is generated every new group of 30,000 blocks known as a mining epoch.

When mining Ethereum, each GPU requires a big file called DAG at the start of the mining process, 2Miners elaborated. As DAG files grow each 30,000 blocks, or mining epoch, the memory capacity has apparently reached its limit.

Following a request to Bitmain helpdesk, 2Miners was reportedly able to confirm that the growth of DAG files limited the usage of Antminer E3 for mining ETC. According to Bitmain, Antminer E3, which is an ASIC miner, still contains a 4GB video card for mining, while the DAG file is approaching the threshold.
Bitmain reportedly said:

“[...] Antminer E3 is a 4GB video card. E3 is related to ETH algorithm, and DDR capacity is up to the upper limit, so E3 will not be able to continue mining. The meaning is E3 only can mine until January 2020, then will not mine again.”

According to 2Miners’ calculations, Antminer E3 should terminate Ethereum mining roughly on April 8, 2020. According to the mining pool, the current Ethereum Classic mining epoch is 328 while it is still 318 for Ethereum. According to the DAG size calculator data, the DAG size for Ethereum accounts for 3.48 GB, while the one for Ethereum Classic amounts to 3.56 GB at press time.

What were you doing not sleeping for 3 days straight? I hope it did not include some items hehehe. Doing that regularly is a fast way to transform yourself from Smeagol to Gollum.
5669  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Grin Observer - GRN/BTC - Price Movement and Discussion on: February 24, 2020, 03:17:11 AM
@Febo. Who is the developer? I reckon open source developers of any coin are free to contribute on other coins. It might not mean that the developer has left the project.
5670  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [AEON] Aeon Speculation on: February 24, 2020, 02:50:35 AM
Aeon appears to have found stability on 1600 to 2000 sats. It is also usually one of the coins that pump later in a bullish market. You know what to do hehehehe.

Also, aeon.to was vouched by xmr.to's Binaryfate on the Aeon subreddit.
5671  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] AEON: Cryptonote privacy, efficiency, decentralization, and stability on: February 24, 2020, 02:24:14 AM
@estenity. It is good to know that xmr.to is vouching for it. Also, their recognition on Aeon as an alternative to Monero is enough to make it the no.2 cryptonote coin in the cryptospace.

@DireWolfM14. The MLB also added 2 teams for the post season wild card rounds. I reckon american sports revenues might be going down hehehe. I like the decision, however.
5673  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Wilder vs. Fury II: The Rematch is On on: February 23, 2020, 01:34:27 AM
Not long now until the re-match finally gets settled. This has been a much anticipates fight and given the sucsess of the face off many people will surely enjoy the fight and be entertained.

Although, both Wilder and Furry are going in seriously and well trained and prepared, I have a hunch that Furry might take the victory home. I might be wrong since both are formidable fighters but who do you lot think the winner will be?

The skeptical me is thinking that this might end on a draw again. Someone might be paying the judges similar to the Jone Jones versus Dominic Reyes fight hehehe. The odds on the draw is 19.00 hehehe.
5674  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [20-02-2020] Attorney General Says Banks Can’t Refuse Services To Crypto Firms on: February 22, 2020, 03:11:42 AM
They will do what is required of them and create more strict regulations to control the cryptospace. Enforcing those rules effectively will be another problem hehehe.

@Thekool1s. You are allowed, however, the best reaction would be to troll them back and ask for the numbers on tax evasion and terrorist financing hehehe.
5676  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2020-01-31] Senior Adviser / Operator Of The “Silk Road” Website Pleads Guilty on: February 22, 2020, 02:17:58 AM
The skeptical me would think that some criminal drug syndicates might have helped the FBI on the framing of Ross and the takedown of the Silk Road. It was becoming very big and was beginning to be a brand name for drugs and the Dread Pirate Roberts persona an icon on the internet.
5677  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Wilder vs. Fury II: The Rematch is On on: February 22, 2020, 01:18:56 AM
According to stake.com bookies, both boxers has even chances to win. Odds are 1.84 Wilder, 1.94 Fury. But I like "Draw 19.00" better  Grin Hope they wish to make a trilogy, because I'm going to place my small bet on the draw (but frankly I'm going to cheer for Fury). To bad this is not going to happen, take a look on those two hungry men




Anyone else going to place a bet?
There's more hype and excitement than the Ruiz Joshua fight, it's anybody's ball game because I'm pretty sure that both fighters will be employing different strategies this time, but I am still baffle why the change of trainers for Fury when he is doing great after he got back after a long vacation.

Agreed. The promoters should take lessons from Dana White and organize the winner to fight Anthony Joshua hehehe. I reckon that would create much hype and excitement in a time of boxing after Manny Pacquiao.
5678  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Projects Below Top 100 Coinmarketcap? on: February 21, 2020, 04:31:46 AM
Aeon and Grin.

Aeon is a fork of one of the most successful cryptocoins, Monero. It is the lighest cryptonote coin in the cryptospace. The community is small, however, they are loyal.

Grin is a new cryptocoin based on Mimblewimble. It has a monetary policy that might theoretically fix volatility, early adopter advantage and also make security of the coin more sustainable.

Also, Grin is supported by one of bitcoin's original miners hehe.
5679  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2020-01-31] Senior Adviser / Operator Of The “Silk Road” Website Pleads Guilty on: February 21, 2020, 03:16:28 AM
@Betwrong. It was administered by a person who is not a criminal. He was a physics major, a scientist and he has created the Silk Road to be an experiment on real freedom on the internet. It was not only for the drugs. I reckon the American government punished him severely out of fear of creating a people's movement.

I don't know, what they were fearing of, but what I do know is that this system will collapse pretty soon if guys like Ross Ulbricht will be sentenced to a double life sentence plus forty years without the possibility of parole, and, at the same time, convicted terrorists will be released from jail after serving several years, only to be convicted of a further terrorist offence later.


The government is fearful of people meeting together to talk and in time begin creating their own ideology. How do you think the Americans began their movement to revolt versus the British?

Is there a chance that Stephen Curry will leave the Golden State Warriors? They went from back to back NBA champions to one of the worst teams.
