It's not just food that matters, humans have a psychological need for space as well. The more people there are, the more we end up like Calhouns rats - dying from a lack of reproduction, even when the numbers start to drop after major dieoffs. The rodents never recovered, who is to say that we will?

I don't disagree. Let's start with the 2-child-max-per-couple rule and enforce that first.

I'd rather see a baseline Iq to be allowed to breed, the fucking morons are breeding out everyone else.


Vitalik Buterin should get Noble price for founding most widely used Etherum and changing the world in many aspects

I for one agree that Vitalik should fetch a noble price

As long as it isn't a Nobel price I'm ok with it.

That would be the last straw, bam all faith in humanity completely gone.


I thought that was when they gave it to I'llBombYa   Huh

I have a couple of Ledger Nano S, but don't fully utilize them. By default, it looks like Chrome extensions are the preferred interface, I don't trust that. Electrum on Linux supports it, I trust that more. I keep multiple paper wallets, one per year. If I get to the point of cashing out much, it's helpful to be able to have a hard date on the blockchain of when I owned it. I'm not sure how to incorporate that into Ledger. I know about the optional hidden space.

Opendime hardware looks cool, but it's more of a one-shot thing. Good for basic transfers off-chain. You can't easily back it up, and it may not accept going through the washing machine well.

Chrome extensions are dead dying.  Ledger is working on their own interface now.

people believe in terraforming but climate change is a myth?

 For the sake of science, I terraformed an orange once.




Molded it just to your liking I see!

I read somewhere that poloniex is going to delist Monero.  Is it true?

^^^without science you would still "drive around" with a horse and buggy and work back bending routines for 14hr in the fields.
That would be something.
No, we would be poking pigs with sticks. What is with people taking something as complicated as agriculture as a given?

"without science" overpopulation and destructive mono-culture 'farming' would not be around either, so I guess poking a pig with a stick (or snaring some rabbits) would be reasonable.

General reminder that co2 is not a pollutant, comrade.

Not a pollutant for plants, they love it.
However, increasing Co2 does affect mental functions.
see graphs: 21% decrease in mental functions upon doubling of Co2 from 400ppm (now) to 800
https://www.advancedsciencenews.com/co2-on-the-brain-and-the-brain-on-co2
Quote
At some threshold yet to be defined but thought to be around a 1000 ppm, human cognition will begin to be negatively impacted. Latest research indicates we could attain this threshold outdoors in the next century, and the dissipation of CO2 in our atmosphere takes centuries.

Regardless on the "politically charged" question of what is causing it (the Co2 increase), if it increases, we will be progressively live in Idiocracy.
Sometimes I already feel it in talking to some people (not here).
Maybe, this is the Great Filter (a concept explaining the absence of visible super-civilizations a.k.a Fermi Paradox).
Now you just need to explain how a doubling could possibly happen.

That's the damn problem with catastrophic predictions, if it is built on one thing that can't happen the whole thing falls apart.

From the quoted article:

Quote
In a reported study, it was found that in a substantial number of poorly ventilated classrooms and workplaces, CO2 levels can average 1000 ppm, a significant proportion of these exceeded 2000 ppm and some even reached 3000 ppm.

Some are already affected, most likely.
Don't believe this, get a whiff of Co2 from the dry ice.
It helps to put things in perspective.

for the accelerated annual Co2 increase, check out the graph here:
https://e360.yale.edu/digest/co2-levels-continue-to-increase-at-record-rate

However, even at a steady 2% yearly increase (which is 33% less than in 2015) with no more acceleration, we would reach 800ppm in open air in about 35 years.

If the solution to global warming was "oh shit, looks like we'll need to shut down governments and implement anarcho-capitalism to save the planet"...then I might be more inclined to believe the scientists that are paid by the government.

When the solution to global warming (science funded by governments) is "we need to give more power to governments" makes a fella go...hmmm....

Clearly, human pollution is causing severe weather, and climate shifts on all the planets in this solar system.  It is laughable that some people think its driven by the sun.  Moar taxes will fix it all!

Verge is not private? I thought that yes.
Look on their site, you can find there this information: A secure and anonymous cryptocurrency.

Oh, well!  If they say so, it must be  Cheesy

DYOR.

Does anyone know what the current status of Confidential Transactions is?

It's basically in the early research phase, but possible within the next five years, maybe.

Working great on mainnet for a long time.  OOPS... Wrong thread   Grin

I know this is a cliché but USD, EUR, etc. still dwarfs cryptos when it comes to the currency applications you mentioned.



And sources.  LOL



...and are there sources that says otherwise?

Look, I do know a lot of white folks go to impoverished corners of the world as sex tourists so they can spend their USD and EUR to have sex with minors...and drugs as well...with impunity. Unless you can top that argument, you shouldn't be asking for some phantom "sources". LOL!  Grin



I was refering to the sources of the articles posted.  Curious if there's a National Enquirer article as well.  Articles could be true, but not the point.  they are not sources I'd trust, due to past behaviour.  Vice and BBC.  LOL

Tera what would you use as an indicator to renter the market?  Or do you stay cashed out and rely on trading the remainder?
If I was to re-enter, I would re-enter when I see the train is clearly leaving the station (I dont need to pick the very bottom). In 2013 I reentered at $140 after the Silk Road bounce. In 2016 I didnt reenter because I had spent all the money I had cashed out in 2014 already. 0 Will I reenter anything I cashed out now? I'm not sure. Im already pretty satisfied with what I've left in already. I no longer need to be all in, plus there will probably be trades to make.

Altcoin trading and wierd miraculous 2 hour blocks of daytrading has saved my ass and kept me in the game all this time. I'm not sure how well my strategies will work for a conservative btc/usd investor without an x factor. But occasionally taking some money off the table is always a good idea.

Bitcoin failed to break through the daily 200 MA on April 23 and April 24. TA says we are in a bear market right now as daily 50 MA is below the 200 MA. We might stay in the $6500 - $9500 range for months. Your best re-entry indicator is most likely the Golden Cross when 50 MA crosses 200 MA on the daily chart on volume. If price does not get back above $10000 within a few months I expect a year long bear market. Sorry about that.
dont be sorry because your wrong Smiley
all my charts say 10000 just around the corner  Tongue

All   of your charts?

Well then.  Hang on.

Well I for one do believe that we will see USD 1M within five years.
And I still believe we will se USD 80k end of year.

Seems plausible.

What will happen next after the hardfork?

As stated, Bulletproofs, and more of the steady fine tuning that goes on constantly in this project.  Perhaps further POW changes as well.

Patience is the key, but I hope we will see another pump soon... did not see that much action after the hard fork ( the real one ) and the coming ledger wallet...
  I expect the beast will reawaken somewhat with the point release.  Ledger support has been long awaited.
