In the USA are property taxes paid at the state level?

Here in Ontario taxes are collected municipally. In Mexico we don't pay any property taxes.

Every part of USA is different.

I used to live in New York City

5 counties under 1 city .

New York City collected the property taxes. Wont get into school tax. As it is part of property tax.

so feds/new york state/new york city/ five different counties/ many little areas in the counties.

but new york city is the handler of the property/school taxes not the counties or little areas in the counties.

———————————————



I now live in Howell NJ which is a township in Monmouth County.

So Usa feds/ New Jersey/Monmouth county/ Howell

The property tax bill is Handled by Howell.
three parts to it.
 A piece goes to Monmouth county.
A piece goes to school taxes which consists of five towns or townships in monmouth county
a piece goes to Howell township.


but no coin goes to New Jersey gov
and no coin goes to fed gov.

we pay 4 payments a year

———————-


my bro in law is in nassau county ny.

he gets two bills a year for school tax
he gets two bills a year for property tax.

he would be

Fed/NY state/Nassau county/township in of north hempstead/municipality of new hyde park

and he makes the four payments to north hempstead not sure how they spend it all.

so three spots in usa with three sets of rules

Don’t know if you guys heard but around the same time that merge takes place it’s when the MtGox coins are going to be finally distributed.

Seems the second half of August will have crazy volatility with all these potential coins being dumped on the market. Wonder how bearish everybody will get as we approach closer and closer to the merge and MtGox drop.

That together with the Vitalik concern of Lido Finance I am sure it will bring huge volatility to the market.Of course if we have PoS in the first place in August which no matter how many testnets they are doing I highly doubt we will see anytime soon the moving of Ethereum to PoS.I think that Vitalik can really use this Lido Finance which has like 33% of staked Eth as an excuse to not move on with the PoS for up to early 2023 as a bare minimum which I think it will be highly likely that it will happen this way.

MtGox that is ancient scam,I don't know but if the coin will be distributed to their rightful respective owners then this is great news.

Last time I checked

about 122 mill coins

including the 2 coins of mine that got lost when the etc/eth rollback fork occured.

60 million pre mined and sold for about 13.8 mill dollars.
12 million developers took for them selves
72 million coins

and 50 million actually mined.

total of 122 million coins of which 15 million are staked
5 million by one company Lido Finance.

so at best all 15 million staked coins were from the premine.

thus there would be 45 million premined coins that one or two people may have control of.

so those 45 million coins could easily take control of the staking.

even if the developers add in the 12 million they kept.

as 45 is greater than 15+12=27

so the reality is pos is a disaster at this moment if it starts up it must fail.

I contend that for a viable pos to start far far far more coins must be staked.

since so many premined dirt cheap coins are not staked.

math does not lie here.  mr v b do the right thing stop this suicidal pos march.

it is underfunded and totally vulnerable to an attack by at least 45 million unstaked premined coins
this is as easy as

45> 15+12

that is the best case for staked numbers

reality is

107>15 is worst case number for staked coins

either way the staked amount is very easily overcome since it is about 15 million coins.
You think an attacker is going to risk losing 15 million ETH? Only for the attack to be undone? Even at $1000 ETH that's $15 billion being risked on an attack that can be rolled back.

No there were 72 million premined coins.

12 million went to developers

60 million went to investors at a cost of 13.8 million.

there are 122 million coins in total

say 50 million mined

so

60
12
50
122 total

only 15 million are staked

so 107 million are not staked.

my point is those 15 million staked are very small percentage compared to the cheap 72 million premined.

And the premined cost was only 13.8 million for the 72 million coins.

so pos staking spent a ton of highly valued coins to stake and they can be wiped out on the cheap by all the low cost premined coins.

none of us know how many of the premined are controlled by one or two people.

they can cheaply take over the entire staking with ease.

I can tell you that unless far more coins go into pos staking the risk is huge that you can be wiped by the

premined coin owners



edit more deep thought here.

so I am a major player I have 6 million eth all premined investment which would be only 1/10 x 13.8 million = 1.38 million

I find 2 other guys with 6 million eth premised money between us we have 18 million eth which cost us only 1.38 x 3 = 4.14 million

we could crash the entire eth pos setup and only spent 4.14 million back in 2016 to do it now.

how bout we are ready to do exactly that and have placed multiple leveraged shorts on eth  across many exchanges.

as I see current setup looks doable.  worse yet Mr V.B. made noise about Lido as they hold about ⅓ the staked eth say 5 million coins.

so if Lido is sniffing around looking to hook up with 3 holders of 18 million premined coins. they are now up to 23 million coins easily fucking eth up bigly.

How about they are ready to pounce on that and will have billions in 5x 10x  20x 50x leveraged eth shorts all over.

the cost is 23 million coins of which 18 million were only 4.14 mill in 2016 dollars. and maybe worse is that most of lido coins are dirt cheap maybe 20 bucks a coin when purchased so 20 x 5 million = 100 million and 4.14 million is 104.14 million laid out to make billions in leveraged shorts.

Mr V.B. is risking this by going pos with a mere 15 million of 122 million coins and so many premined unaccounted coins.

Mark my words eth to pos will be the most amazing shit storm ever seen.

now is that just good fud? or a deep thought of Clear and present danger of eth's current pos plan?

I TRULY DO NOT KNOW

lets see how close you stay to your 13 minute numbers.


after a 2 hour shot

show a 24 hour shot.

Sometimes you get temp creep over time.

if you stay close at 2 hour time and then at 24 hour time you have a winning setup.

7085  Other / Meta / Re: [Merit] Legendary To Newbies Distribution Concern & Problem! on: July 12, 2022, 04:07:14 AM
When a good post is coming from a higher rank member, you know that he is not fishing for merit

Merit fishing is a phrase coined to wicked lower-ranked members. Since my newbie days till today, I am yet to understand why the so called merit fishing is a problem.

What is not acceptable in the forum is merit begging, but I don't know the place of merit fishing and importantly, why it is used mainly for lower-ranked members. I have seen countless times posts that are tracking the merit status of high and reputable members. EG, posts that tracks first to reach 10k merits. Tbh, those posts are merit fishing posts, even if they were not created by the people concerned. Such posts indirectly biase the minds of merits senders (sources), either to increase the rate of meriting a particular account to enable him reach a merit goal or reduce the rate of meriting another in order to slow his rate of reaching a certain set merit target.

When I was in high score my lecturers said I beg for score while writing exams and that is why I was always the best. I do not practically ask them to score me high marks, but my points and method of presenting them begs for marks on my behalf. Why didn't my lecturers fail me and tag my answers as score fishing?

Well, if there is anything like merit fishing and should dwell in this context, I would say that everyone in the forum fishes for merit, the difference is while higher ranked members fish in the high sea, the lower-ranked members fish in a shallow water and that is why they are always seen and accused.

If a user sees a post that he doesn't like, it's better to skip rather than accusing the op of merit fishing. This act has denied many newbies their first merit and more.

Okay I got 1000 airdropped and earned over 3500.
I don’t ever need another merit yet I like getting them whenever I do.
In fact sometimes I make a very good post and will guess if that post will earn more than 10 merits.

So am I merit fishing technically yes as I am efforting to write a quality post to a thread.
But I don’t earn from my signature and simply don’t need the merits.

Newbies generally need merits. They are not fishing for sport like I am doing with this post.
I have given hundreds of merits to newbies. I also have tried giving rank up points to jr members and full members and senior members.

It can be a bummer to follow a newbie that posts well and then they get caught for cheating earning a ban.
I have been following majestic-milf

liked the name he or she has been a good poster I hope they continue to do well.

I am now debating to delete this or post it.
I write over 100 posts a month that I never post.

I am going to post it.

I am also going to check on majestic-milf posts.


https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3454941

so m-m was new on march 9 2022

earned 60 merits and posted 140 times.

now a member

got many merits in first month as a newbie and now none of those merits count as legendary to newbie

much like loyce mentions.

So the real way is not legendary to newbie but legendary to member or at legendary to 120 day or less fourm member.

7087  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Cost to Mine 1 BTC in every country on: July 12, 2022, 01:30:25 AM
The main problem I have is gear cost.

Pretend I have free power .

When I live in an apartment I had an illegal 10 gauge 240 power source in my apartment.

Did not know about it until we had a huge black out in NYC my entire neighbor hood was black and my ac worked. I found out at that time

this was in the 90's so mining was not a thing.

I knew a guy that did forged jewelry and  that his basement workplace in a Manhattan skyscraper has a tunnel to a 3000 square foot space with about 300 amps of 240 watt power.

Back in the 80's so mining was not being done.

But people with 'free' power and the ability to say run 20 s19's would do 2ph a day which is only

176 usd  day so 21000/176 = 120 days 1 bitcoin  but that gear at best price cost 20 x 4000=

80000 the study leaves that cost out.  So the first btc would be 80k with everything being free but the gear

2 btc would be 80k
3 btc would be 80k
4 btc would be 80k.  and you could argue this means a single btc = 20k cost.

that study leave all this out.

and all of us know that to think 20 s19's will work with out fail for 4 x 119 days is very optimistic.


7088  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: July 12, 2022, 01:11:55 AM
Did you hear the one whereby, they, are, in certain states in the USA, now putting, TAMPON dispensers, in the boys toilets in schools!!!!! (by legislation)

Would someone explain this to me like I'm five, please?

My only guess is in case a girl decides to use boys toilet she can comfortably dispense her tampon. Am I off the mark, and there is another reason for putting those dispensers in?

It's for transgender boys to use. So girls who have transitioned to boys. Otherwise they wouldn't have access to them, unless relying on other girls to provide them.

So whether you agree or disagree with the whole transgender topic, especially whether a girl can transition as a boy or not, then at least ideally they can still have access to tampons while others deliberate the validity of their gender identity. For example if you still see the transboy as a girl, then hopefully you can agree they should still have access to sanitary products at the same time.

I personally don't see how this is so controversial, whether it's the case of a transboy wanting access to tampons, or a girl who considers themself a boy... just let them have what they need surely.




ok, there is at least some logic in a girl, who want to pretend "transition" to be a boy (which is obviously not possible) , still needing a tampon...(why would that be? ohhhhh , cos they are a girl in reality) however the other way ie a boy who is pretending "transitioning" to be a girl, does not and will not ever ever need a tampon

However...... it is a school, public resource, public money... it is other peoples money that pays for the whole shebang. There are shops out there in the world where they can buy them.

Annnd then, the other issue is the fact is exposes other children, some of whom may be younger, to the whole thing.. which other parents may have an issue with.

These kids , all of them are under the age of consent for pretty much everything.... (alcohol, voting, driving, etc etc) so why is this different ? why is this not a case of, do what you want when you are 18?

Also, I also see that, in some states and schools in the USA , they are now allowing children, who self identify as cats, dogs, and other types of "furries" to wear "furries costumes" and not speak, and to sit out PE, and to do things like sit at their gym teachers feet and lick their feet rather than doing their gymnastics/football or whatever.

Also, what about the rights of the parents who have children in those schools, that do not want their kids around little Juan, who is prancing around in a dress at age x at school, or little Jenny who is walking around and in class and now called Juan, and they do not want their kids exposed to such an influence when they are still a child?


...and "send them to another school" cannot be the answer shirley... , sorry I mean surely


"don't call me Shirley"


Where do you draw the line?


I mean, next will it be cool for kids to smoke crack at age 13 in class room jus cos?



Also.... the deeper underlaying issue here is as follows.......  men, cannot ever be women, and women cannot ever be men. It is just not possible, it is not reality.  No matter what cosmetic or hormone treatment, it just is not ever so. It just isn't.


If in the future, there was a way, to actually, really, truly, 100% change one sex to another, like certain fish can do, then maybe, it would be different... but it just isn't.


So, asking why do people have a problem with it.... is a bit on one level like saying,  why cant we just be cool with people who say "I identify as a giraffe" ....... well bro, its because you are not a giraffe, and even if I wanted to be cool about it, and would love to make it so, it just is not so.

There is a problem with society, just arbitrarily trying to change, or pretending to change these things, and like I alluded to earlier, it can be dangerous.


Hitler, and co, tried to make out that certain people were subhuman... it was a distortion of reality.... and people played along... that is what can happen when people play along with distortions of reality, things can get dangerous.


It is not just cut and dry.


I really have no problem with people, doing and wanting to be what they want, where they want, when they are adults... I DO have a problem, when people try and force the view, that biology for example, gender, man and women, do not exist. If a person wants to say, "look I am going to go around , dressed and acting and behaving like another sex, because I want to" then ok, all the power to you... the problem comes when people start saying "NO , I AM A WOMAN!!!" and you must accept that,  rather than, "I am a man who wants to dress up as a woman" and I do not see why people cannot just accept that , rather than just trying to change basically the laws of biology, of which there is little ambiguity about (yes a tiny minority of people are intersex I know)


That being said, the other thing that is weird is how people go about it in the west. In Thailand, they have, for decades already, just declared that there is a "third gender"  not man, not woman, but "other" or "ladyboy" and it is just accepted and no one argues about it and people just get along in general.  However, the "third gender" do not go around demanding x,y,z, demanding they are treated like a man or woman, they are just "3rd gender"  and it is generally just a thing for adults, not children.  




I think you may be wrong transplants work at times.

So maybe a girl could get testicle transplants.

and growing dicks has been done

https://www.menshealth.com/trending-news/a33511547/man-penis-arm-grow-malcolm-macdonald-sepsis/


so if a girl grows a dick on her arm and has testicles transplanted giving her/him the ability to get women pregnant would she then be a man
7089  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Cost to Mine 1 BTC in every country on: July 11, 2022, 11:34:14 PM



please note I fixed some typos

if you have A S19 THAT DOES 100th and burns 3 kwatts an hour you pretty much have a top of the line unit.

numbers below leave out:
 labor
 repairs
 coin price change
 power price change
 cooling
 infrastructure
 rise or fall in difficulty

also I assume your miner was fully paid off

00 cent power with a 100th machine burning 3kwatts cost is $0.00 it earns $8.81   net $8.81
01 cent power ------------------------------------------------- $0.72  it earns $8.81  net $8.09
02 cent power –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––- $1.44  it earns $8.81   net $7.37
03 ---------------------------------------------------------------- $2.16 it earns $8.81   net $6.65
04 ---------------------------------------------------------------- $2.88 ------------------net $5.93
05 -----------------------------------------------------------------$3.60 ------------------net $5.21
06 -----------------------------------------------------------------$4.32 ------------------net $4.49
07 -----------------------------------------------------------------$5.04 ------------------net $3.77
08------------------------------------------------------------------$5.76 ------------------net $3.05
09 -----------------------------------------------------------------$6.48 ------------------net $ 2.33
10-----------------------------------------------------------------$7.20 -------------------net $1.61
11 ---------------------------------------------------------------- $7.92 ------------------net $0.89



I can tell you since all the costs left out are at least 1 dollar.

  a ton of s19 gear is not paid off many big miners are near death.

As for what it cost per country please in my PA/NY/NJ area alone (just 3 of 50 states) I have over 20 different power points to chose from some over 22 cents some under 6 cents and many in-between,


Now if you put in the gear cost a s19 that does 100th at 3kwatts cost 3,000 to 9,000 dollars

today it may be 4,000 so do I add that cost in? If I do and has 3 cent power. with it not breaking  it makes $5.93 so 4000 to the cost  or wait 675 days of mining to pay it off

and don't count the 4,000 cost to buy it.


But the chart you found does look good. and my thread is jus t a lot of boring black and white type and blank space.

7092  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Eth 2.0 can be delayed to 2024... on: July 10, 2022, 11:50:33 PM
In the meltdown fork (rebel fork) we want to premine the same amount as the staked ether in the POS fork. We are ready to release,but waiting for the V team to fork... Mining support is not needed, the genesis block has already been mined and the difficulty is low.  The final net will probably have a different structure, but if the V team decide to fork early, we are ready...  The devteam will be supported by the 15 million locked staked POS coins that will be converted to premined coins that can be sold to support the development of the new network. This amount was acceptable by the exchanges we have talked to in order to get it listed...
 -----

our motivation:

Look at Dogecoin. The market cap of Doge is now bigger than Litecoin (the forked coin) . We don't want to join the POS experiment, so we simply move to a more stable, secure and advanced technology POW. By forking, we can remove the whole management of the coin, the devs and the assets of their supporters.

Then we can push the coin in the right direction.  

At launch all Ethereum holders that haven't locked their funds for staking will receive the same amount of ethereum as they own. Currently this number is 89,2% of the supply but this it is expected to decrease if more users join the ethereum 2.0 staking pool.

So the 11.8% who have locked their funds in Ethereum 2.0, will loose their coins in the new Ethereum.

You can't attack 15 million coins of staked ETH with even 90 million un-staked ETH. You first have to stake the 90 million ETH. That's how the validators work. I am not sure you understand how it works. And if you attack the network you lose your ETH. Who's going to do that? George Soros?! lol!

Yes you can, In a Prof Of Wealth attack.

When 12% support POS and  88% support POW. You only need to hardfork, and replace the devs, the management and their supporters by freezing their assets...

This  is how democracy works. (Boris Johnson)
----

All ethereum holders that haven't locked their funds will receive the same amount ethereum in the rebel fork. 1:1. The Implementation is done by a team of old Bitcoin devs.
If you have more Ethereum staking validators then you can attack the network. That means someone has to setup over 300,000 validators with 32 ETH each to attack the POS network. And risk getting their funds slashed.
Also it is easier to recover from a POS attack than a POW attack.

Search for this topic on Google to understand more about it. You're delusional with some of your comments.

Youtube:
Ethereum 2.0: Proof of Stake vs Proof of Work | Vitalik Buterin and Lex Fridman

no work no wealth.

btw i would argue pos = bond

which means eth will be fully regulated as if it is a bond.

good luck with a bond based on nothingness.

at least a bond with a real company is based on what the company produces.
or services or in the case of New Jersey Turnpike bonds they are based on the tolls collected and the physical roads and bridges that make the turnpike.

Pos = piece of shit based on nothing.

and if I am wrong it will be like a bond and fully regulated with every staker marked and kyc’d

btw only 15 mill coins staked

and 106 mill coins not staked.

and do you realize more than 30 million premined coins are out there right now.
not staked.
they can wipe the current stakers out.

in a snap in a takeover.

have you even consider that is what will happen if that is planned.

do you know who holds the premined coins?

they sold for very very very little fiat it is possible one guy owns 30 million eth and got them at under 1 dollar a coin.


60 million premined were sold at 13.8 million

12 million were kept by development foundation.

that is 72 million of 121 or 122 coins.

for pos to have any shot at working all those 72 million coins need to be revealed.

lets see how close you stay to your 13 minute numbers.


after a 2 hour shot

show a 24 hour shot.

Sometimes you get temp creep over time.

if you stay close at 2 hour time and then at 24 hour time you have a winning setup.

I Goldshell if I am not mistaken offers good ASICS with low power consumption

That seems to addresses the cost of entry but I also like the modularity of a common host platform like easy
expansion, easy HW & SW upgrades, etc.

The controller cost seems like a non issue. When it's hosting $10k worth of mining HW, an extra couple of hundred
for mobo, CPU & RAM doesn't make much of a difference. I've never been a fan of skimping on the front end to save
a few bucks.

I was too quick to dismiss USB. With external power the mining boards could use USB, for real, making them easily
hot swappable and more scalable.

One way of looking at it is do you mine with GPUs because of the coins or is it the easy access to HW? In my case it's
the use of commodity HW and 120V/15A power. If I could order a PCIe BTC or LTC mining expansion card from Amazon I'd
probably already have a couple.

Tell you what why don’t we start a campaign on Intel forum boards.

For a pcie asic ltc/doge miner and a pcie btc miner.

intel has a pcie ssd. and they want to get into mining.

and lets get a thread going

I just opened an account with intel see link.

I took his advice and removed the secret question as I also saw the forum warning which was making the whole option look stupid. I didn't see his message as a hack attempt but it was wired. Why haven't theymo disabled that secret question option. Basically anybody closed could easily guess this so called secret question especially mine (which has been removed though)..
I have considered not using that security question, its very risky for me. I prefer to use a strong password and might consider changing it periodically after someone tries to hack into my account by forget password. I feel silly knowing that someone did it, but actually it surprised me.

So for now, I have to sign the message just in case because I'm really starting to worry if hackers try something more extreme. Please quote and verify me.

Code:
-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
I _BlackStar, signed this message after someone tried to hack my account a few days ago. This will serve to verify me in the future if this account changes hands.
-----BEGIN SIGNATURE-----

-----END BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----



But for this one, just report one post to the moderators so they can merge the post if the user ignores your suggestion.
Done.

here is a quote.

I also am locking the thread.

No one mentioning Larry Niven's Ringworld?


First read it at 13 and its still a favorite.

Old memory read it a long time ago.

Yeah, it was the wording of the personal message that was tripping me up. Might have been a better option to contact the admins, and say you're aware of someone's security question, they could've possibly checked, and then forced the security question to be disabled, rather than forcibly locking an account. Maybe, the admins could've messaged only those with security questions enabled, I'm not sure of the best way of going about this.

Also, not a fan of talking about the specifics of a certain users security question as that could potentially be a further security/privacy issue.

However, I think the point has been made, and hopefully this highlights the issues of a security question. Personally, I'd prefer it to be removed, but at the very least hopefully this wakes up some users to discontinue using it.

For those that are unaware; Security questions are designed in such a way, that it encourages you to ask a question, and then directly answer that question, therefore it's no longer random. We've talked about random for ages now, and how it's important to generation of passwords. So, the mere fact you come up with the question, and the answer usually means you either reduce the randomness or completely remove it. You could say you'll have a answer that's not something that's related to the question, but it likely is as we as people aren't very good at thinking randomly.

I was about to conclude that the message was only sent to high ranking members only, I just found out that DT members were the only target, I am just wondering what exactly this user is trying to achieve by this
You're much more likely to make a point, if you make it to the higher ranked users of the forum, as the point hits closer to home, than doing this to someone who is of a lower rank. The user has proven that security questions are ridiculously stupid, which we kind of knew anyway, but has highlighted that to those that don't know it.

I do feel left out that I didn't receive one of these messages.  I guess because I have no security questions (that I'm aware of)
Maybe check it, and amend it if so.


I think he deserves the neg trust. As I stated my question was there but was already in a disabled state. So it is far superior then no question at all. Since a hacker would spend all eternity and get no where trying to answer the question.

It was what is the name of my wife's father.

A hacker could have tried every name ever written in the human race and have no answer.

Since I knew I my secret question was disabled but listed I had created a time waster trap for hacker's which this moron fucked up with his clever hacking bs.

So frankly his so called well intended deed fucking helps hackers since they now know security question can be disabled and thus un answerable.

I don't know if it has anything to do with it but take a look at this thread:

weird pm received

In this case he talks about PM in the forum. It may have nothing to do with it or if it has something to do it will be some amateurs trying to hack forum members accounts in DT with great reputation.

found this thread and wanted to add 2 cents as I think someone is trying to hack anyone they can with good credit merit trust etc.

Ethereum 2.0 will fork the network, and they have implemented a difficulty bomb which will end POW. With a small modification of the wallet code, ethereum will still be minable. Solominers, Pools and exchanges would need to update their wallets.
Another Ethereum Classic, another Team. I am a coin dev and a miner dev with 9 years of blockchain experience, and my team is strong. I have also previously announced that I will create a new coin here on bitcointalk.
We will end up with the POW fork "Ethereum", and the new POS fork "Ethereum 2.0"
Will you change the size of the DAG file so that mining is available for video cards with 3 GB of memory ?
Then more miners will join you, or will you not make changes to the size of the dag file?

First version will have no change, but randomx variant for the gpu is been worked on. ETHASH+randomx(gpu). The coin is ready for launch, some hashpower has already been moved to the testnet. Premining... The shadow fork is done to protect the network from lame killn attacks.

The 11.8% who have locked their funds in Ethereum 2.0, will loose their coins in the new Ethereum.

So keep joining the 2.0 staking pool guys... More for us (The miners). An Ethereum without mr V, his supporters and other POS lovers.

Same same but different
Do you need a rig pointed to you for test mining.

I can do that if you want.

please note this is my alt account of philipma1957.



this is true.

a1 hashrate llc  was formed by me and buysolar this year.

We have about 10gh in eth hash I can point various rigs from multiple ip's to you if you need it.

I use windows and smos
