8121  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why did Satoshi use GB English and international English ? on: July 14, 2021, 10:20:20 PM
satoshi was one man..
but he took idea's from different elements of the cypherpunks group. and he had people like theymos and hal debug code in the early months.
they all used their own pseudonyms

as for the language. i dont see any purposeful internationalising words. i would just say his spell checker showed the annoying red underline. where the spellcheck changed it to international when he was bothered to right click and take its suggestion

apart from that all signs of buzzwords time format and phrases point to british based language
but a hint of their language does not give any evidence of their physical location.(you know planes can take people anywhere these days)

back then they were worth about $4800 for 800 coins. so lets call it $4k of coins from 2012

i thought the only drama would be on the "satoshi stash" of 2009-2010
or drama over say any date 5000 coins

never thought 2012 under 800(~640) would be noteworthy

ok if people think moving funds under 800coins held from 2012 is drama worthy..
then i have to be a bit more careful with my stash from that era too

it was pretty norm for lots of people to have invested around $4k+ in 2012..


(noting the output format and the 1sat/byte fee)
from the looks of it. he is just moving his funds from legacy to bech32 while the fees are low
basically looks like he is now updated his node software and wants to use the new keyformat without having to pay a high premium that previous months/years would have cost

Simple problem, the last "Dunkelflaute" lasted 7 days, just this year the power generation of solar panels dropped to 0.69 TWh in January compared to 2.24 TWh in February which as you can guess it's not that sunny either.
So rather than having 7MW of spare, you will need 56MW.
Good luck with that when doing it for the whole country, and don't forget to send me the bill for all those batteries.  Cheesy

new build houses cost say $120k... battery backup from belkin is like not even $100
so sell the houses for $120,100..
i dont think house buyers going to cry over a $100 spend when buying a house
..
remember your scenario is "only 3 hours of sunlight"
so yea to cover 24 hours. you need 8x
with some redundancy hense i say 9x

this means in summer that extra 1 produced is going to battery store. and every day for 3 months of summer
so thats then 90*1
so if there is a blackout of 8 per day.. the battery are good for over 11 days based just on the 3 months of last summers excess store

..
ok let me translate that to your latest numbers
the assumption of needing say, in your case the monthly demand is 2.24TWh
which is <0.0031twh per hour
lets imagine in summer there is 8 hours of good prime light
so needing 0.01twh per hour in summer (to be 3x demand to cover instant use and 2x evening and night portions of day)
i know your thinking 'but that would be a dilemma in winter..'
so have 0.0093twh per hour for 8 hours in summer(0.0744 produced)
=0.0031 instant consumed
  0.0031 stored for the 4hours morning and 4 hours afternoon offpeak
  0.0031 stored for the 8hours of night

and store the 0.065twh excess each day for redundancy
so that in the 3 months of summer its storing 5.859TWh (2 months excess for winter)

Yeah, geothermal has a rather limited area, but all types do to an extent, there are areas where solar is just useless, and efficiency on average of 3hours per day )

thats where solutions come about
if a city requires say 8MW a day (0.33mwh per hour)
but only gets 1MW for 3 hours(0.33mwh per hour)  because the sun doesnt shine for 24 hours to get the full 8MW a day

well the simple solution..
have enough solar to produce 3mwh per hour(10x demand) meaning in 3 hours it has enough for 30hours of city demand(9MW). and have battery storage facility to store the spare 8mw not used in that 3 hour of prime daylight

two ways to achieve this
warehouse centrally the battery store
or
have houses that have their own battery system that take on 8x of its 'need' in the 3 hours. so that the house has the excess for the rest of the day.
(much like cars charge up/fill up on fuel in the morning for use the rest of the week)
if your the type of person that only fills a car enough for one hours use and returns to refill with fuel/charge every hour. shame on you

there is no need in 2020 that people need to be connected to a national grid that only creates and supplies in the same minute of its creation

i personally dont have my computer connected direct to the national grid power supply.
i have a battery backup surge protector box that has 8 hours of battery store. inline between my devices and the wall.
(shameless plug, for once) ive had my belkin protector for 20 years and has lifetime warrenty
that way im always with power
UK doesnt suffer from many brownouts or blackouts so some think its unneeded but i have always had it just incase

ive previously lived in apartments with "night storage" heating. they warmup(charge) the bricks at night and slowly release heat during the day

im surprised new housebuilds dont include atleast battery backup as part of the design
8125  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: What is the technical reason why bitcoin can't scale? on: July 14, 2021, 08:18:05 PM
seems someone is trying just a little tooo hard to push for excuses not to evolve
residential internet in the 90's was dialup 56kb/s
in the 00's it was 0.5mb/s broadband 10x dialup
in 10's it was 5mb/s adsl 10x broadband

which is where satoshi based his limits in 2010

in 2020 its now 50mb/s fibre/5g
so internet has sped up 10x since satoshi limit. yet the limit has sped up 0x
the transaction count per block has not increased above the proposed 4700tx possibility
we have never had a single day of satoshis proposed 4700tx (7tx/s)

so we are actually performing at minus 2x of potential suggested in 2010
...

no one is screaming the need of 100x by midnight. not even 10x.
but atleast a true progress above the average 2500x tx that we have seen for 12 years

devs deem 4mb(weight) safe and so allowing for full utility of 4x legacy. with no cludgy /4 wall crap. would atleast get things moving to where things should be 12 years into a project

and also including a better fee mechanism would help too
after all devs have made legacy a premium by encoding a 4x treatment of legacy transactions so how about have code for a ?x treatment of transactions under 6 blocks to stop spammers
to segregate/split the spammers from the occassional user

as for the not wanting to store other peoples transactions from 30 years ago (the 2051 scenario mentioned in post above) well dont be a full noder if you dont care about other peoples transactions.
after all what becomes your acceptable value you do "want" to store of other peoples spending habits

is your limit that you only want to have
transactions of 1% of bitcoin price($330 today) be stored in the blockchain
transactions of 0.1% of bitcoin price($33 today)
transactions of 0.01% of bitcoin price($3.30 today)

so do you want "dust" limit raised to 0.0001($3.30 today) to avoid 'coffee spends'
..
lets word your presumption of desire of storage another way
how much would you consider its worth to spend on computer equipment to allow you full node utility for say average PC upgrade period of 5 years

..
if you want to be more biased about unwanted spends.
dont make it about the amount spent
make it about the confirm age
be biased and hate transactions with a UTXO thats only 1-3confirms old being spent
hate spam.. then you might have a talking point worthy of discussion

having a blog to rant issues. gets no results
ends up just being a begging site with a sob story. as most smart people see that the money wont win any lawsuits.
what you need is proof

you dont always need land accessors. you can make your own maps and use drone images from above as comparables
and compare them to land registry details.

as for the blackmail. bribes and threats.
a website listing hearsay quotes is not evidence.. get a recording device. get some voice recordings of malicious conversation. get video of any property tresspass. keep any paper document threats(blackmail letters)
..
if you got no evidence then your just ranting. and not working on a solution

so spend more time learning about getting evidence. not on website rant blogs
8127  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Sleep Mathematics. on: July 14, 2021, 04:43:34 AM
You have taken a lot of time to do this calculation and arrive at active time as 18 years by your own deductions but I think that within that active times, you didn't put into consideration certain factors that can also act to reduce those active years. Example things like like falling ill. Sickness is not calculated in that make up of the mathematics. Many times we fall sick within the years and they make us inactive those times

Or don't we fall sick ?

Or don't sickness affect our active lives?

We fall sick surely and it affects our activities and that also means sickness reduces our active lives.

this can be calculated. but its a low number and not affect the overall by much

however whats more life impacting lower inactivity is this:
topics known quantity so far: in 24 hours 8 hours (1/3) is sleep
but..
another 2 hours(1 either side)(1/8th) is the 50% inactive space relaxing for bed. waking up
so call that 2 hours of 50%= 1 hour of 100%  so thats 15 hours of 100% active instead of 16

sitting down for lunch/dinner might be another hour 'wasted' so now 14 hours of "100% pure active" time

..
so topic may have started as 16 hours(2/3rd's of life) active its now more appropriate to being more like 14 hours(7/12ths of life)
...
even those that say they only need 6 hours sleep. will find that their spare 18 hours are not all at peak 100%
infact those 18 hours might be 77% active. meaning 23% less energy/productive.. which would be the same as 14 hours of productive energy
not saying its 18hours of potato couch lazy. but just slower working speed. frustration at not thinking about solutions as fast, wasting 23% of time
EG what might take a well rested person 46minutes, takes you 60 minutes thus 23% less productive

yes if you truly slept for only 6 hours and you were oncall where you were at the workplace working for the entire 18 hours. your productivity might be at 77% compared to well rested coleague

symantecs
there is no health passport
there is no vaccine passport

your example of other countries "maybe" is proof that passport is not a thing
its a "maybe"
its just a idea/conversation. not a reality in the current world

maybe in 100 years your grandkids might finally break out from the ancestry flaw of low IQ
.. oops i said maybe, meaning its not a reality today. meaning today your family have low IQ

here is some common sense
requiring a swab test just to buy groceries.. will never be a thing
no one would go to a bar if it required sticking a stick up their nose just to buy a pint
so relax..

if you really have this much tension built up inside you. its a waste. so go to the bathroom and relieve yourself
let it out. clear the waste out from inside you. and get on with your life.

in short (explaining metaphor to idiots)
your concerns of passports are making you act constipated (full of crap)

for all 19 months of covid.. you have been able to go to the grocery stores. and you always will
so get out your house and go to a grocery store

I'm going to remind you of something you already know even when you say that: it's not free. If you live in the UK, they will be deducting a percentage of your salary to pay for health care, as it is done in all countries.
Calling it free healthcare is misleading. Another thing is that I agree more with a system like the UK NHS than with the US system.
I take your point. It's free at the point of service... but yes, agreed, everything has to be paid for through some form of taxation... roads, police, fire services... and medical services. But even if you have no employment or income, you still get healthcare provision. It's a right rather than a privilege.

i dont treat our UK public services as "free" like having sex on the first date.
yes at the point of "service" the sex is free.. but you did have to pay for the date to earn the right to pull pants down later

however UK public services dont charge if found that you didnt pay enough tax earlier
                                        dont refuse care if found that you didnt pay/cant pay tax
                                       (dont charge if you didnt go on a date first)-prostitution
                                       {dont refuse sex if you didnt pamper woman}-golddigger
in short UK woman will still have sex with men even if the guy hasnt spent a penny on her
where as US woman will only put-out if the guy pays up in some way(pamper or pay)


yep. people out of work that have no income still get treated the same as an employed person..
.. there is no credit check/insurance check/tax check when being admitted to a hospital in the UK

americans dont seem to get the understanding of how the UK system works

TB does not need lockdowns and passports now because... vaccines exist and are common for it
the flu does not need lockdowns and passports now because.. vaccines exist and are common for it

covid in 2019-2020-~may 2021 did not have vaccines commonly in the population
so lockdowns were needed..

but one thing you will realise lockdowns are relaxing. because.......... yep vaccines

as for the 'passport' crap.. none of the 150mill double dosed americans got a "vaccine passport"
so .. in short. there is no passport situation

there is no special group of people that are vaxxed that have a vaccine passport

democracy fails in 2 area's

1. no binding contract requiring the winner fulfil his election pledges. no penalty for avoiding fulfilling his pledges

2. the public vote is usually just a fame vote of a personality once every 4 years. and not a law/regulation vote on the things that help/hinder peoples lives

 in short if someone wants to just have a 4 year political career, sitting on their ass doing nothing but getting all the salary and bribes and 'donations' from lobby groups.. well. the current regime of democracy is perfect for you to be a politician


distributed ledger tech can solve this by allowing
  citizens to make daily/weekly votes on the inner details of daily/weekly politics
  EG get rid of congress and senate and just let the citizens vote on every bill direct
and even
  bills with a budget earmarked for the project. actually locked/earmarked digitally.
  with payment terms, penalties and bonuses if achieved efficiently
  EG X phases of project.. phase 2 payment not released unless phase1 signed off
  if things go over budget. a payment request can be generated and it be voted in to release funds

hundreds of thousands dead from vaccine?
ok show me the excess death rate from february 2021 to now
show me the more deaths since february than before february 2021

what you will find is the vaccine has saved alot of people from dying from covid. and even if you combine in deaths from vaccine the excess deaths are super low to the period where covid was wild and there was no vaccine

oh  and if you think its a poison.
realise there are less allergic reactions via the vaccine than a peanut
so you better start saying a peanut is a super super super super poison

go on.. cry to the world how you think a peanut should be banned
cars kill more people. so go cry how cars should be banned

Before a vaccine can be made the virus must be isolated. Feel free to provide link for proper scientific isolation. I can tell you now there is no such thing and never will be. There is lots of junk around to fool simple minds but no proper Koch postulate peer reviewed scientific paper.

“The history books will show that, because it is the vaccination that is creating the variants.”
This is a breathtakingly stupid statement, which reveals a lack of even the most rudimentary grasp of science and how mutations arise naturally from copying errors.

Actually, exactly the opposite happens to be true.  Evolutionary pressures on pathogens applied by vaccines is a well known and accepted phenomenon.  This is one of the main reasons for what is known as 'vaccine failure'.

  https://www.quantamagazine.org/how-vaccines-can-drive-pathogens-to-evolve-20180510/

covid vaccine is based on the alpha strain
and ill emphasise this only the alpha strain

if there was a vaccine where the spike was more generic and less specific.. with lots of different identifiers of lots of different variants.
in other words the vile/syringe fluid had 50 different possible tweaks..
then it would be more super effective.. and that would pressure the virus to super mutate outside the minor tweaks and only replicate successfully if the virus had a major tweak that makes it novel

but these vaccines dont do that. they use the existing primary strain..
thus. virus mutations in 'natural immunity' spread of the unvaxxed is 4 generations ahead of vaccines

yep its actually the unvaxxed causing more spread and more mutations
8139  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can on-chain analysis be relied upon? on: July 12, 2021, 08:58:09 PM
the 3 things you can get that might(flimsy) aid assessing market support/value/price

1. the richlist.
    if you add up all the UTXO between 1btc-100btc and call that the collectors
                                           between 100btc-1000 call that the hotwallet
                                                 over 1000 call that the exchange cold wallet
                                               under 1btc call that the average joe users

and then periodically see the flow between the 4 groups. to estimate is the exchanges accumilating coins (more supply) or distributing out more coins (less supply)

2. coin-age
    take all the UTXO of the last 24 months. and work out the price vs the age.
    for instance. from january-now all UTXO created, moved when they were worth over $30k
                             february-may all UTXO created moved when they were worth over $40k
                               march -may all UTXO created moved when they were worth over $50k
    work out the percentage of coins at each increment of price..
    and you will have a good bases for the community underlying value support.
    basically the amount they are willing to sell at their lowest to break even.

3. look at the hashrate.
    calculate the hardware+electric of the hashrate based on the 5 main regions electric costs
      german/japanese asic farms
      german/japanese home hobbiest
      US asic farms
      US home hobbiest
      euro farms
      euro hobbiests
      chinese/icelandic farms
      chinese icelandic hobbiests


like (2) work out the incremental underlying break even value.
you will be able to spot if the price is higher then the cost. more mining in that group than buying
                                                      lower then the cost more buying in that group than mining
common sense is why mine slowly for sats in germany at over $40k.
when you can just buy it now in one lump for $32k
...
just to note.
with point (1) you cannot predict the day/time when a huge deposit into a exchange address converts into an active order on the market orderline.
 some people just use exchanges as a wallet and not a market

with point (2)(3) although common sense tells you people refuse to sell at a loss. meaning you can see some value support below the price. you cannot predict peoples level of greed as to the most they are willing to pay or sell for.    

meaning you cannot predict if they are a 'taker' seller (snipping off the top for instant sell cheap) or a 'maker' seller putting their coins at a stupidly high price that wont peak anytime soon
