4% is not high yield
.. unless your a toddler thats only experienced saving/investing in the last 3 years

for decades.. a min of 2-3% was just FLAT-RATE to meet inflation. and 4% was like min savings expectation. where 5%-6% was preferred rate.. high yield was more than that

the key to lasting relationships is to be yourself

1. trying to act more wealthy then you are is setting yourself up for failure, when that high status becomes the expectation you cant cover
2. starting relationships on a lie doesnt help either
3. acting overly interested/confident feels pushy, fake. sometimes its best to not exaggerate feelings or appear false

just be yourself where you are not even trying, feels more genuine real and something someone can get to know better and trust

things only get toxic when you are living a lie or cant communicate openly because you fear how the other will react with the truth


That is the conclusion if the whole matter as you just speak alot in my mind. Just as it's clearly stated when the foundation is faulty the building will definitely collapsed, so it's to relationship  when the relationship have some errors of lies  failure is set to be inevitable. Try to be who you are not just to impress your relationship, as many do just know you have dig your grave more deep than expected conclusively frank1 have analyze allot that any should not fall in in as much relationship is concerned.

its not just about lies. its about setting bad expectations
ive seen guys that rent a sportcar/book a 1 day test drive of a sports car, on a particular day they know they have a hot date.
they realise they like the woman they had the date with and want a second date. and end up either having to pay extra again to re-rent the sports car to keep the ruse alive. or come clean and ruin the chances..

setting a bad expectation wont help the relationship. if you dont actually live the sportscar lifestyle and cant afford to own a sports car, dont present yourself as a sportscar type of guy. be yourself find a woman that has the interests that align with your real self.
if your a nerd. find a woman that likes nerds. if your energetic find a woman that likes your energy.

if your a carnivore find a woman that likes meat too, dont be someone you are not. live your true self

the other part is confidence. when you give up "trying" to impress... other people stop seeing the fake facade try to push. they stop seeing the subtle presentation of you holding back.. and they see the real you, not the one hiding something..  you instead effortlessly just be normal and become real to the other person, someone they can trust because they see you are not acting a role.

the best line ive seen work that made a lasting relationship.
she was trying to quietly sneak out of bed in the middle of the night a couple times to go to the bathroom.. so just saying to her "all woman fart, if you need to fart just let rip. as long as you make me a bacon sandwich for breakfast..." laughter began and she was there in the morning with a bacon sandwich. no sneaking off after that

woman think they need to present themselves as models that dont do normal human things. the sooner they realise they can relax and be human the better.

the best relationships are those where the person you are with is like your best friend. you can tell them your secrets they know how you think, you can tell them anything or do anything and it feels normal, where you both dont need to act a certain way infront of each other

Satoshi had 2 PGP keys with MIT server. Aaron Swartz hacked MIT to destroy Satoshi's PGP Keys. Aaron Swartz is not dead as his dead donkey drama were staged to fool the government. His full names then was Aaron David Swartz but he has dropped Aaron from his names and now he is known  by is last two names. Any one can fool any one but not their own grandfather.

Satoshi does not need to prove anything to any one and he is not craving for a Nobel Prize in economic.

i know ur trolling.. but its a laugh to think you even want to attempt to now say satoshi is also a reddit creator and wire fraud convicted guy
maybe its time u stop wasting your life wanting criminals to be satoshi and actually spend some time learning about how bitcoin works and how facts work and do something with yourself to better your life and prospects

Not sure why the deposit limits are so low. Every ATM machine I used at a credit union had this restriction.

everything has a cost
for a security guy in a secure van to come and empty an ATM costs money, if they have to empty it daily then cost is 7x a weekly emptying visit. which by doing only X bills per customer means that they can control how fast the machine fills up thus reduce cost of emptying is as regularly

if normal people only take out 5 bills and there is a withdrawer 6:1depositor ratio.
they dont want more filling up then withdrawing. they want to find the golden ratio to limit securtiy van visits and have a ATM self sustain deposited bills vs withdrawing bills to not need security van visits
(there is also some other limitation policies. like risks that some deposit notes might be counterfeit. so limiting deposits limits amounts of fake bills an ATM may end up holding.. ) which can cost the ATM franchise if they hand in fake bills to a bank

its the same in retail
retailers limit people paying for produce using lots of coinage(nickels&dimes) because a cashier register has a float it has to control to give change but there are costs involved in handling too much coinage. where by if too much coins are in the register and they have to go to a bank to deposit coins. it costs them
(there is also some other limitation policies. like risks that some coinage might be counterfeit. so limiting coinage accepted limits amounts of fake coins a cashier may end up holding.. ) which can cost the retailer if they hand in fake coins to a bank

Another challenge is the environmental impact of Bitcoin mining. The process of mining requires a significant amount of computational power and energy consumption, which can have negative implications for the environment.
Realistically speaking, it is troubling that people think that bitcoin mining has an impact on the environmental when in fact, the real environment impact of the energy..

bitcoin miners do not generate energy. they generate sha256 hashes
they use energy, but that energy is generated by power stations

its the power stations that should be instructed to improve
i as a user of electric have no power/control/voting rights of how my power is generated. i jsut use what the grid provides. so its the grid that needs investigating and blaming

..
its much like politicians blame people for using grocery bags.. um.. no go complain to the plastics factory that make the grocery bags. go to the oil refineries that sell processed sludge into plastics.. go to the oil fields that sell oil to oil refineries

users can only use whats available.. so go to the source. change the source, problem solved

..
its much like governments allow money printing and cause the national debt.. but then stupidly pretend its the peoples debt
um no. i dont do credit cards or mortgages i have no debts thank you so dont blame me.. go to the source of who created the national debt

More of the same from Craig today as he has been playing more of the blame game and pleading the Shaggy Defence (it wasn't me) and everyone but him is responsible for the faked documents he has submitted in evidence of him being Satoshi. Today he claimed Christen Ager-Hanssen basically hacked into not only his computer to plant faked documents to frame him but that he also hacked his phone and had access to all his personal communications such as emails and whatsapp messages for months.

as expected.. nothing new. he done same tactic with ATO in 2014

heres my theory
Christen Ager-Hanssen invested into CSW scam over the years (financially or sweat equity of promised returns. and now wanted out). and CSW/CSW sponsors like Ayres said "if you act like a disgruntled employee and cause some social drama leaking things that will cause a media storm to get my name viral again, to make me news worthy and notable again ill pay you, and you can be made whole and exit with a golden handshake" (paid dupe)
as that too is not a new trick of CSW

This is the transaction on block chain.com explorer
https://www.blockchain.com/explorer/transactions/btc/42105820754888a816820be27bd8670b5789e82ffd9f88cb68446c1afe414fa9
It shows unconfirmed transaction.

And the fees were high on the day I sent the coins. If I had waited till today, I would have probably paid lower fees for higher bytes.

your fee's were not high in comparison to others. you did not pay priority

also looking at when it suggests it was "first seen" by blockchain.com ( a month ago)
id presume your TX got purged/dropped.. by most nodes mempools
(purge is removal for being part of the low paying cluster that takes up more room then nodes mempools wants to keep)
(dropped is when its been too long, usual default is 2 weeks)

try to broadcast it again. as different mempools may have purged or dropped your tx from their nodes and mining pools just dont see your transaction

EDIT
i just pushed it again for you 5 minutes ago when writing this message
if you need the HEX of raw tx of your tx to push

transactions per block are not a technical limit of physics, nor cost essentially.. its more of a developers politics decision

electric usage is actually more efficient per has each year..

electric generation is more of geo politics of energy companies and politicans plans and budget, not the fault of bitcoin
there are only 2.5m devices around the world powering the security insurance of the blocks confirmation strength

EV cars are a less stable, less controllable utility of the national grids source and utility of electric, and there are more EV's

once people realise they have no ownership claim of actual bitcoin and cant redeem bitcoin "in-kind" of shares
the benefits they can have of the ETF price exposure is mainly tax related saving for exposure to a market price:

The people who buy Bitcoin ETF for the 401k plan are usually not those who buy Bitcoin for idealistic reasons, but because of the possible positive price development. All those who are idealistic will still buy "real" bitcoins and put them on their self-hosted wallet.

but people still think they are buying ownership shares of bitcoin and they think if anything goes wrong with an ETF they as creditors can claim/redeem shares for BTC "in-kind"... i just corrected that false narrative where share holders do not prosper nor get btc if a ETF closes out/bankrupts/dissolves offering

so although ETF offers discounted PRICE exposure due to pre-tax access to spot exposure. it does not mean ownership stake of BTC
830  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Please stop asking for "legal tender status" on: February 09, 2024, 05:52:40 PM
i was the one telling you about the courts.. the treasury, the banks
i even underlined them several times in previous posts

you were saying how average payer-payee have to be forced.. which contradicts the openness of lack of legislation of such that allowed bitcoin free open use 2009-2013 before legislation was even wrote in regards to bitcoin in any way

yes a judge can order a $$ amount but the judge may also say "give back the car"
the judge may also refuse the car to be the settlement and demand it be dollar.. but thats CHOICE

a judges order is final.. but that order is not forced to only be in dollar amount. a judge has the choice. which usually is dollar first due to the highest level standard status dollar has by being legal tender

..
the point being things are measured in legal tender as its the highest level status currency deemed medium of exchange for a community/nation. where by being at that status assumes the most conditions and rules.
..
yes the SEC chooses to PREFER that ETF dissolvent of shares to be redeemed "in cash" instead of "in-kind" of a pegged asset.. but thats SEC CHOICE

yes the legislators write other laws like taxation and min wage to be rated in USD amounts, as its strengthens the EASE of people to just default choose to use dollar as medium of exchange. but its not FORCING businesses to only accept USD as payment of goods and services.. its just that legal tender has the legislative highest ranking standard of acceptance of trusted medium of exchange for a community/nation

but people are not FORCED to only accept USD in america for products, services, debts, fines, taxes.. courts can also request confiscation of assets or other items of value as conditions of settlement of fines/debt


now getting to the point of the topic now that i hope you dont exaggerate the "force" stupidity as the real world outside of your house has millions of examples everyday where you are incorrect about your use of "force" perceptions

by bitcoin being a legal tender. comes with consequences.. new laws to attain legal tender status means new conditions of use of said currency too.. such as auditing where your accumulation of currency come from and taxation of it and also having to explain things if you get or give certain amount of and how businesses must act, treat, and use it
.. and no its not about when people are forced to use it.. its more about if people choose to accept/give it they need to play by the rules of the status its given when/if using it


When you are asking for a government to pass a law, as would be required to make Bitcoin legal tender, then you are effectively asking that government to send people to jail (or fine them, or whatever) if they don't accept Bitcoin as payment.  

It is true that El Salvador's (ridiculous) law has not been followed because it's impractical and stupid, but that doesn't mean it's not a law.

I said yes and no -- there are plenty of laws that are never enforced. My own country has the death penalty for several offences, never carried out, never even used to threaten -- okay outside the point but in this case, there isn't even a stated penalty for this law. Not jail, not fines, nothing. Show me, cause I couldn't find it.

Show me one El Salvadoran who's been told the law penalises them for not accepting Bitcoin or one who said the law will penalise people for not accepting it (that's making your life easy, because we're not looking for anyone who's been penalised).

We've definitely beaten this to death though... so I'll say no more too.

there is no legislation in el salvador that puts people in jail if they choose not to use bitcoin

please get outside of your house and explore the world of real life examples

the benefits they can have of the ETF price exposure is mainly tax related saving for exposure to a market price:

when using pre-tax income, its like discount
if employer matched, its like 2x

think about it if you earn say $35k salary
using https://smartasset.com/taxes/income-taxes (advance)
putting $4660 as your investment pre-tax into 401k (which should be enough shares to be exposure equivalent to spot price of 0.1btc right now)


your take home difference is not $4660 but only $3895 thus a discount
of 0.1($4660)exposure equivalence(but not ownership) you only paid $3895
if you have employer match
of 0.2($9320)exposure equivalence(but not ownership) you only paid $3895

It looks like Russia will introduce a new trend in BRICS mutual settlements  Grin

“Against the backdrop of sanctions and problems with making international payments, Russian authorities began to prepare companies for barter trading.

not new.. its what i have been saying al along
https://www.centralbanking.com/fintech/cbdc/7960761/russia-hosts-brics-talks-over-cross-border-use-of-cbdcs

At the same time, if we talk about the currency of the BRICS countries, first of all we need to look at what kind of currency it will be. So far I have not seen any information on this topic. Therefore, there is no possibility of discussing a non-existent currency.

stop waiting for western media to inform you
if you both checked out the BIS your would see the brics roadmap plan

each country having its own CBDC all using an m-bridge as the mutual settlement exchange

From this above statement, then I can boldly say that mempool.space is NOT PROBABLY FAIR.

This is my opinion anyway, I will drop this case and allow other bitcointalk users to make their own contribution here.

Thank you

the website has no relevance to network performance. its just a stat website with limited scope of the available data to see
its not a fairness thing.. its just a crappy display site for certain details.
there are many other websites, explorers and stat sites. hope you find one you can enjoy
836  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Please stop asking for "legal tender status" on: February 09, 2024, 08:33:37 AM

however, as a separate debate
your incessant rants about "force" are exaggerated and can be proven exaggerated should you dare go on a flight with airmiles or buy products using loyalty points.

I've said many, many times here that there is no law (in the US at least) that stops anybody from taking any form of payment they want, including air miles--and legal tender has nothing to do with that. I don't know how more times I will need to say this, but I guess I'll keep going until it's no longer necessary.

Legal tender status forces the payee to accept the form of payment whether they want to or not.

you have just contradicted and debunked yourself.

if you do not have dollars, the IRS, courts can seize your property to settle debts(bye bye mansion, bye bye lambo). you are not forced to only pay in legal tender. only preferred that legal tender is used as its deemed a higher status recognition level than other currencies/mediums-of-exchange.. a higher status that comes with a higher level of conditions of use

..
for instance
2009-2013 no one cared if people moved millions of value of btc
2016+ legislators/regulators cared about movements of value of $10k of any property/asset/commodity designation of bitcoin
if bitcoin becomes legal tender. they will limit ATM to spot valued limits of $500 a day and want services to report spot valued amounts of bitcoin moving over $1k

if bitcoin did get legal tender status in US. banks and treasuries can accept deposits/taxes in bitcoin as its reached the higher leve recognition stations.. but that does not then mean banks/treasuries will force everyone to only pay in the form of bitcoin
not unless further legislation is wrote to dictate such separate from the legal tender declarations
EG
el salvador still accepts US dollar as legal tender too, but could separately declare that dollar is no longer legal tender and deem it a lesser currency

your exaggeration of force has been contradicted by even yourself... because if there was force. then no other currency could be used for normal things. meaning bitcoin would have been banned by said force you infer
837  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Mempool Observer Topic on: February 09, 2024, 08:22:16 AM
Ok.

Then it should DETECT THE TRANSACTION AT LEAST.I am aware of priorities. Higher preference would be given to higher bytes fees but at least DETECT IT.  Mempool says transaction not found. It is one thing to detect a transaction and it is another thing to process such transaction. This is an unfair treatment given to me and I believe it should be addressed properly

there is no centralised mempool that mining pools use
each fullnode sets its own default mempool limit. some purge more the 300mb some less, some more

mempool.space's node has a lower storage amount
this does not mean that your transaction is forgot by the entire network. just not seen by one websites node

dont be upset that one website doesnt see your transaction.. mempool.space is not a network feature mining pools grab transactions from.. its jsut a website of a name of something but does not signify by namesake that its what the network uses as anything central to te network

for instance blockchain.com is not the central storage of the network blockchain. its just a website with a name. the name does not mean its the central repository of everyones blockdata people grab data from.. its just once instance showing its own nodes display..

by seeing that mining pools do randomly select (lottery) cheaper transactions proves that mining pools do see cheaper transactions IN THEIR mempools of THEIR nodes. but you are just part of the lottery of the ~120 of 17k tx basket of your fee range yet to be selected at random..
838  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it okay for Bitcoin Core development to be funded by Banks? on: February 09, 2024, 07:58:51 AM
i too have not been happy with the decisions greg and his ilk peers of blocksteam have roadmapped bitcoin towards, but  it is still bitcoin

even the real satoshi announced gavin to take over as lead "chief science officer", and then the batton passed to greg maxwell as lead "chief scientists/technology of bitcoin" and so on.. even merchants and services, and even governments recognise btc as bitcoin

heck BSV is announced as something new 15 November 2018,, not 2009

even funnier BSV did not fork from bitcoin, but from BCH
there is a deviation of 2017-2018 block data that shows that BSV is not a twin sister of btc. but a daughter of BCH which is a daughter of BTC
so BSV is a grandchild of BTC not a twin of BTC

yep BSV is a offspring(fork) 2 generations below bitcoin.. BSV is not the original.. hard blockdata and code prove it

an example..
lets take the 20th of august block#480,000. BSV used the BCH chain data. where by block #480000 on BSV had 21 transactions which is what BCH had
BSV and BCH had 21 transactions but BTC had 2117 transactions

yep the 21 transaction of BCH/BSV following was not even 1% following.. it was literally nearly an empty block no one used, wanted

again for emphasis
BSV is a offspring(fork) 2 generations below bitcoin.. BSV is not the original.. hard blockdata and code prove it
839  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Mempool Observer Topic on: February 09, 2024, 07:10:06 AM
Note the minimum fee here is 9sat/byte

that does not mean that blocks are grabbing all transactions 9sat up
it means SOME mining pools are selectively (pot luck lottery style) adding a couple random transactions outside the "highest fee first" policy just to seem reasonable.. the 9sat/b does not mean your 16sat/b has priority over say the 20sat/b ones nor means that your 16sat/b should come before the pot luck lottery of cheap fees outside the fastest first policy
you just have to be patient

yes its annoying, yes bitcoin is made using code. yes code can codify rules of acceptance to be more fair, yes transactions can be analysed into a formulae where coin-age and "first seen" can produce a priority order... but many people that want bitcoin to be annoying to promote offchain systems as solutions to the annoyances, dont want the annoyances fixed


using
https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#BTC,2h,count

there is about 17,000 transactions waiting paying 14-17sat/b
so you are in a waiting list with 17k other transactions of about your fee rate(51k minus 34k)

looking at latest block(fee range chart, highlighting transaction in the 15-16sat/b basket range)
https://www.blockchain.com/explorer/blocks/btc/829631


out of 1038 transactions in that block that miningpool only randomly selected 118 transactions from the basket of transactions 15-16sat/b
meaning only ~11% of a block selector chooses the lottery of your range. but your range has 17k other competitors

so math suggest if only ~120tx of your range are selected per block you have a 120 of 17k chance of being in next block(0.7%)
840  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Mempool Observer Topic on: February 09, 2024, 06:59:52 AM
I am surprised to see mempool.space here in bitcointalk . Anyway, welcome!

My question is : can you synchronise mempool.space to the blockchain.com Explorer?  I actually sent Bitcoin from my blockchain wallet and mempool.space was unable to detect the transaction. This is weird. The transaction ID is 42105820754888a816820be27bd8670b5789e82ffd9f88cb68446c1afe414fa9

. The link on blockchain Explorer is
blockchain.com/explorer/transactions/btc/42105820754888a816820be27bd8670b5789e82ffd9f88cb68446c1afe414fa9
. When I search for it on mempool.space, it shows transaction not found.

your transaction pays 16sat/b
however mempool.space has a "no priority" minimum of 20sat/b meaning their mempool purged your transaction but blockchain.com did not purge it and still sees it as pending


Ok. I can agree with you on this. However, during that period, the fees were high but now, the fees are relatively moderate and with the same amount today as fees, the transaction should be confirmed.  In my own opinion, the transaction should be detected by mempool at least. This is unfair. I have sent fees of 10 sat/byte and mempool.space detected it.

your tx wont confirm fast because currently (2 hour ago)
fastestFee: 27 sat/vB
halfHourFee: 25 sat/vB
hourFee: 23 sat/vB
economyFee: 20 sat/vB

fees of 23sat/b took hour+
so you have to wait and hope your transaction out of the many that also pay 16sat/b get picked up

also mempools detecting it does not mean MINING pools pick it up. especially if there are megabytes of other transactions 17sat/b+ waiting ahead of you.. even though SOME mining pools selectively choose a couple transactions outside of "highest first" policy. to appear helpful. would make those couple transactions of lesser fee just pot luck getting ahead of the queue.. not a policy that guarantees you getting added any time soon

put it this way.. right now
https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#BTC,2h,weight
there are about 50mb of transactions ahead of yours
~4mb a block means 12 blocks of transactions paying 17sat/b before getting to yours
and if everyone even in last couple hours pays more then 17sat/b it then treats the 17sat/b+ more priority even if your transaction is 10 hours old, but their 17sat/b is 2 minutes old, they come first(in usualy highest fee first) policy
