Knock Knock $59k anybody home?

Point being, if you increase the blocksize limit to a value that makes on-chain transactions just as cheap as LN transactions then no one's going to use LN. Why should they?

Because LN transactions are faster and private, I will tend to use it first.

Read the algos for autopilot.

That's when I decided to turn off autopilot entirely  Undecided

A quick skim of https://c-otto.de/ is close to what I was thinking for just setting fees.

When i first started, and had default fees of basically nothing... it seems my channels were just being taken advantage of and nothing coming back on the other side, because it was either too expensive or there just wasn't any traffic...

Fee rates should be more dynamic. If there's no traffic going out, lower the fees. If too much traffic is going out, raise the fees. It shouldn't need manual intervention.

Don't think I have consciously ever eaten horse meat but it found its way in some products in the UK (and elsewhere probably) and there was a big outcry about that as it wasn't labeled as such. Probably why there are still many jokes about.

There's a little jab about it in Valhalleluja. If they didn't have captions you might miss it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9WWz95ripA

$56k THE FUTURE IS HERE again!!!

Welcome back old friend, long time no see... last time we saw you was 6 May 2021.




Those things never connected above 44k. I never want to see 44k again. Here's to the moon!

You can't just list random shit that people do and add "with an nft" next to it. They are simply bullshit invented by get-rich-quickers to fleece woolly thinkers of their money.

You're not seeing the bigger picture. I didn't either, at first. Then I learned NFTs are programmable. They can do things never before possible. Just one example, creators can collect royalties when their NFT is resold. That's just the tip of the iceberg.
70  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Can I just run a pruned node without downloading historical data? on: October 10, 2021, 07:23:30 AM
No, because you can make a backup of your pruned node and store it somewhere. All you need is keeping some hash of that backup, then you can later download something like 7 GB of data and check if the hash is correct, in that way you can do initial block downloading once and trust your own backup since then.

That's what I just finished doing. 5.4 GB zipped and ready to jump-start a fresh install when needed.

Hmm...NFTs on Bitcoin via Stacks...not exactly sure how it works, but they are certainly not on VB-coin.
https://decrypt.co/82891/bitcoin-nfts-stacks-blockchain?amp=1

Still, i am not sure putting down $1000 for a few pixels is the way to go.

Don't let Bob know he can earn BTC by mining and stacking STX.

I'd buy that for a dollar!

You can't sue open source code devs because you should be able to compile it yourself.

Sure you can. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/uk-court-let-craig-wright-194612053.html
Releasing code as open source does not absolve it of other laws, i.e. copyright/trademark/patent/etc. laws.

My gut is telling me S2F falls apart soon. In shambles and an afterthought by March 2022.

Hope I'm wrong, but I think we should expect a slower rise than some are anticipating.

I don't think S2F adequately compensates for the reduced effect of halvings. We're nearly at 90% mined. Supply is basically already fixed. Demand is what will drive appreciation.

errr.. but those titanium plate exorcises.. what DID you smash with them if it wasnt "male parts"

yeah these days improvements come from improving cpu architecture and adding on more cores but not by pushing the laws of physics about how many transistors you can fit into a given space or how fast you can turn them on and off. that's over and done.

/sigh. No, it hasn't stopped.

I don't know... I've never set up a LN node or anything, so I can't have an informed opinion, but the feeling I get by reading about it, is that it looks cool, simple, fast, cheap on the outside, but is quite complicated and messy on the inside. Also, the constant need for pampering the node, in order for it to function properly, is not good. These are not good signs, and I fear that they may cause problems for its future/success. I hope I'm totally wrong on this.

This is an inherent flaw (how big or small it remains to be seen) in LN. Channel usage is somewhat random, so all channels will tend to unbalance. When a channel is balanced, funds can move in both directions. Unbalanced, only one direction. Balancing can be automated but incurs fees that could be significant. If you know the nodes you're connected to, you can manually set your fees to zero and rebalance then set the fees back up. Ideally, this could be automated as it benefits all parties involved.

EDIT: Cobra could well have fought the case, by giving up anonymity. I would also consider this price too high for hosting the damn whitepaper. You can also guerilla host it in Panama and point a link to it, and if CSW fights this too, place a link to a google search that delivers the whitepaper url as first/only hit.

Funny thing is, I assume due to the recent bitcoin.org hack, the whitepaper is back online at https://bitcoin.org/en/bitcoin-paper.

There's nothing "interesting" about the thread. Go to https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=67.0 if you want to discuss it more.

So just a single person trying to upload a 2 hour video off their phone could bring bitcoin to it's knees?

No, it wouldn't. Go ahead and try it. 12 years, 700,000 blocks, you think you're the first to think of spamming the network? Go ahead, try it, let's see how far you get.
