Bitcoin will not cause the closure of banks, as they are already creating their own pseudo-crypto currency based on the knowledge they gained from Bitcoin, and the sophisticated software developed by the core programmers. What a great research project it has turned out to be.

Bank closures will be caused by the need to lose the toxic fiat debts that they used to purchase hard assets (including Bitcoin).

So Boris Johnson promised to shut down Brexit negotiations if there wasn't a deal by yesterday. I always felt unconfotable about him as Prime Minister. He is a graduate of Eton and Oxford, and comes from a banking family. All of his family are remainers with affiliations to the Bilderberg dynasties. We voted to come of the EU five years ago, and the process was specified in great detail Basically, it ended all EU political and legal control and trading was to be done under WTO rules. The details were intended to panic us, but the British voters were not intimidated, and went for the restoration of independence that had been stolen from us by the Eton/Oxford civil servants. That shocked the elite pirates, and they prompt;y appointed a banking remainer and Oxford graduate to try to reverse the will of the people. This has cost the UK billions of pounds, and lost an enormous quantity of trade, as well as lower our food standards, and bankrupting or exporting thousands of businesses. It seems that Boris was appointed to pretend to implement the bankers' version of Brexit, whilst pretending to obey the will of the people.

It is now time to escape the control of the Eton/Oxford elite across the world, and don't forget that Clinton is one of them - he received a Rhodes scholarship to Oxford. Their influence is expanded by associations with Harvard, The Dorbonne and Sandhurst amongst other education institutions that are used to groom recruits to the elite dynasties war room. You will never get a free country whilst they control the appointment of politicians, military commanders, judges, and other government officials.

ps. it is no coincidence that Oxford University is the major player in the research into pharmaceuticals and vaccines which are used to hijack human immune systems.

This is something that I've been predicting for a couple of years. Bankers and investment houses are accumularing Bitcoin for at least two reasons. They created Bitcoin as an experiment, and built in limits to prevent it even becoming a major currency for daily transactions. In view of its success, they have  to reduce its popular usage, and the easiestway to do this is to accumulate coins in long term investment portfolios. This has two benefits - it increases the value of Bitcoin, and thus their wealth, and it provides them with large blocks of the asset with which to manipulate the market.

You can't fight it, but you can exploit it to your advantage.

I had a quick look at you post history, and you seem to be keen on bulking out your posts with quotes and quote nests. Oversized emboldening of text is also something some people don't like. I'm not sure if that warrants deletion of your posts, but it is a habit that leads me to put posters on my ignore list. If you think of a thread as a conversation, just imaging your reaction if the person to whom you were talking kept repeating  all of the previous comments before he made a short reply.

There have never been any long term trials of vaccines. All ot the trials just check for antibodies, and antibodies are short lived,and just the last stage of the immune response.. There was a statistical report created that analysed to effects of vaccines after13 years, and it was devastating for the vaccine supporters. Like all such reports, they tend to get buried and suppressed. Maybe I'll see if I can track it down.

Thanks for the nethogs suggestion - I'll have a look at that when I have the node sync'ed or maybe before.

I'm in Sainsbury's now, and I've got power. The sync is running at 3000 Kb at the moment with 4 peers, so I'll see if that improves as it settles down. The problem with using this cafe is that there is a £100 surcharge if I park for over 3 hours. I probably need to start a site about life as a digital nomad. Especially as so many people are turning to the lifestyle as a result of bankers and government power and wealth grabs.

It is now reporting that it will take 46 hours to complete the update. I'm not sure if I can drink that much coffee.

[FRIDAY]
I thought I would try Morrison's for today's morning coffee. There is a good source of power sockets, but the WiFi is a bit restrictive, and it looks as if theu block all non-standard ports. Core started with no problems, but with only the basic ports open, it can't find any peers, so the sync'ing will kave to wait. I could tether it to my phone, but I think that will burn too much bandwidth.

Dammit - SFTP won't work either. I am going to consolidate all my research into the crapspeak about viruses and vaccination onto my domain G8S.com. That will no doubt get me into trouble, as it sounds like Gates.com, and of course the supplier of the famous virus hospitality software wouldn't dream of doing the same thing with the human immune system.

Well it seems logical that Bitcoin was created by a team of people, and that they used a pseudonym or a figure head to launch the project. Banking is really controlled by the wealthy dynasties, and they needed to experiment with various alternatives to replace the dying fiat currencies. Bitcoin would appear to be one of the more successful of these. The 21 million cap, and the average 10 minute block generation time mean that it can never become a general currency for everyday transactions. The 21 million cap also means that the bankers can control Bitcoin by purchasing large numbers of coins, and this has the added benefit of further increasing their wealth.

Bitcoin is no longer "ours", but we can use it to our advantage, provided that we work with the financial institutions and governments that are now using it as a store of wealth. We need to use the changes to our advantage, and not try to fight the massive sums of money that are flooding into the Bitcoin economy.

I''m OK for external drives. I bought 3 x 2TB drives to use via USB - one is an HDD and 2 are SSDs. I've also got an assortment of smaller SSDs, including the 320Gb Hitachi I mentioned in the other thread. I bought a drive docking station as well to check my 3.5" drives,but that needs to have its own power supply.

I habe been charring about openSUSE on a webmaster forum, and one guy suggested installing goaccess to analyse log files, and that looks like an interesting concept. If I can master its use, then I could use that to compare different WiFi providers. I'm not sure that comparing the synchronisation of different drive types would be useful on my system. So much seems to depend on the quality and speed of the WiFi provider.

[UPDATE]
I've updated the Linux software, and I've installed Core. I ran thjs with an external Toshiba "Tb HDD. This contains an existing wallet, and an out of date Blockchain. The last entry is for March 2018. core has verified the blocks, and stated to synchronise. It running at less than 50Kb, and I've only got 30 minutes battery left, and there is no power source here. It looks as if everything is working well, and is stable, so I'll shut it down, and find a better location to run the synchronisation.

[UPDATE 2]
I've shut down the Notebook, and switched to the Netbook. I'm finding this quite interesting, and I need to start loading applications to replace those that I was using under Windows. The extra 8Gb of RAM seems to have made a difference, and I'm pleased with that. Replacing the HDD with an SSD doesn't seem to have affected battery life, and I find that surprising. I need to do a bit more research into that. Runnung core with an external HDD seems to knock battery life as well, so I'm going to have to restrict use to restaurants that provide power sources. Once I am able to create a pruned node on the Hitachi SSD, then I'll try maintaining that node using the Netbook as a background job. I'm considering building a Raspberry Pi with a small display screen to run the node. I could use the solar battery back up to provide the power. That will have to wait until I have done some research into the current nodes that I am running, and until I am happy that I can replace Windows with openSUSE.

Forget vaccinations, all they seem to do is to create temporary antibodies. If you want immunity, then you need to build it the natural way with T-cells, and mucosal and other protective measures that we have developed over thousands of years.

You won't have a normal life if you let them vaccinate you. Look forward to a future of Pharma dependency if they do.

If you want to avoid the virus making you ill, then follow a few simple steps.

- Don't wear a mask
- Get out into the sunshine
- Get lots if fresh air in the open
- Keep hydrated
- Get adequate sleep
- Make sure your diet includes fish, Vitamin "C", Zinc and the other important minerals
- Don't kill your protective bacteria with sanitisers.
- Keep up your metabolic rate by walking faster and keeping your head erect.
- Don't take any medication or drugs if you are healthy.
- Don't let them vaccinate you.
- Don't smoke or vape.

I find it interesting that I, as a 78 year old member here, can embrace Bitcoin, and a number of other modern technologies, yet the younger members seem to be incapable of researching and understand the concept of the Corona Virus. Maybe the real question should be " How can we get young people to understand viruses and immunity?". Many older people have experience and open minds that allow them to research and understand new concepts. Young people seem to be more concerned with their ability to send selfies of their throats over the internet. The virus, and its manipulation by the bankers will have a greater impact on you health and wealth than Bitcoin.

As there didn't seem to be much interest in my pruned node project, I decided to change it a bit for my own use. I've doubled the memory in the Notebook to 16Gb, and replaced the HDD with a 2Tb SSD, and I've installed open SUSE on that. In fact I'm posting this on that updated machine, as there don't seem to be any problems here either. I haven't tested everything though. I've got a wallet with about 0.4 Bitcoin in it, and a blockchain that is about 3 years out of date. That is stored on an external HDD, and I'll update that with this machine. Once it is sync'd I'll copy it onto yet another drive, and I'll prune it. Once that is stable, then I'll see if I can copy the blockchain onto the 320Gb drive, and I'll associate it with an empty wallet.

I don't think that one should store more than half a Bitcoin online, any extra coins should be kept in more secure locations such as a hardware wallet.

When the UK was surreptitiously slipped into EU memberrship without a national vote, we were forced to burn our fisjhing fleets to comply with the common fisheries scam. Now that we are leaving, we need to rebuild our fleets, and maybe the French can burn their boats if they can't find any fish to steal. They have plundered our waters, and reduced the fish stocks. These need to be rebuilt to try to preserve the natural ecosystem. It is obvious that they can't be trusted to honour any fishing agreements, so once a nation is proved to be untrustworthy, they they should bge barred from access.

We votes to come out of the EU without any deals other than WTO, so lets get rid of all the political stuff, and just go for trading arrangements.

You shouldn't be asking such questions. By asking for factual replies to rational questions, you will blow their whole scam apart.

Of course you need to infect people with the virus after vaccination to test it. The real question is - Are they testing to see if people have developed natural immunity before the infect them? It would be interesting to see how much the vaccinations weaken natural immunity. Obviously they can't enhance it, as healthy people can;t be infected.

One other points is - How are they infecting people? A major part of our immune system comes from mucosal immunity, and induced infection can disrupt the auto-reactive T-cells, which can lead to diabetes. Just checking for antibodies is a trivial test, and disregards the complexity of the human system. However, it does make the Pharma shareholders  rich, even if it does mess up your health.

In order to deny God, you first have to define God. Thus I believe that the real free thinkers are the agnostics.

I was going to enter into the discussion, but I put the OP on ignore because of that stupid great image. What on earth was the point of including that to waste everybody's time and bandwidth?

@ the OP

Junk this account. The name is not memorable - hence the first line in this reply.

Sharpen up your English, or post on your local language board.

Don't just post replies that you have hashed from various opinions you have discovered on the net. Try to understand the topic, and then create your own observations or helpful comments. If you don't understand the topic, and you find it interesting, then ask an intelligent question.

How are your politicians selected? They usually have to be approved by the International puppet masters. You then get to vote, and if you vote for the correct guy, then you get left alone. If you vote for the wrong guy, then yiu face a variety of possibilities including war, assasination, sanctions, and court rulings to establish the election was illegal or rigged.

It doesn't matter for whom you vote, the government always gets in. This is the puppet masters international government, not the puppets you elect.

It's pretty simple really. The British Empire never went away - it just changed its form, and shifted into banking. You can trace it right back to the fabulously rich Knights Templar, and then you realise why the 3 dynasties that rule most of the world are the Rothschildsd, The British Crown, and the Vatican. They decide whoe will be the senior civil servants and politicians, and thus they control countries like The US and the UK. The EU was created to strip nations of their assets, and to destroy national identities. The irony in the whole situation is the the City of London controls the EU as well as the UK, so all Brexit is doing is to cut out the middle man.

If you just want to look at Bitcoin addresses, why not use a Tor window in the Brave browser.
