What type of trading volume do you mean: money going through PayPal, the volume of sales of PayPal shares compared to bitcoin or the volume of bitcoin sales on PayPal compared to other places?

The issues with these sorts of competitions is that the results are likely rigged (by the competitors).

If there was no minimum trading amount or if the minimum set was very low then things like this become more likely to happen because one person can.make many accounts, deposit less than a cent/dollar on them and convince the exchange they've made a good profit.

A lot of copy trading strategies generally don't set stop losses too because it boosts the chance of their take profit being filled while also boosting their risk - the most successful of those can do 4000% in a few days - they're normally very unreliable to keep going and quite unstable - some traders can do -50 to -100% in a day after a few weeks of a seemingly steady climb up to the thousands%.

Algorithms and tests came out to calculate processing with chess afaik. They still can't calculate what every move will do but they can use minimax and other algorithms to determine what the best immediate move will be.

We did still need the smaller computing chips for that but also better algorithms. There were thoughts a few years ago that they couldn't make a computer better at playing go (a strategy game) than normal players but one managed to compete using a neural network to do it.


This is a lot more accurate since parallel processing a cheap peripherals came about. A lot of phones are able to compete with regular computers now too because of how compact technology has become.



This will certainly be the case with the amount of knowledge sharing too that's available and free verifiable informstion that's given. As long as information can be verified (/proven) and is interesting/useful to the prover in some way then it'll be beneficial and memorable for them as long as they know how to retain it and remember what was fact and what wasn't.

Sadly, while most generic scams follow the same trends, some will always be outliers and innovative so there might be a long time before everyone understands and adapts to them (take the transition with crypto from ponzi schemes that relied on trust to signing airdrop tokens with malicious contracts to electrum's phishing attack).


Environmental limits are less profound now than they have been historically (who knows for how long that'll last though).

Information accessibility has become easier generation to generation though. Schools aren't run by factories or transitioning from that and libraries and other publicly available spaces seem.more widespread than they were (as well as transportation making it easier to get around) - diesel/steam ships instead of rowing/sailing ones (and fewer people being limited to however far they or their horse could walk - if they had any free time they didn't want to spend with family).


I think people have always been infantile in their ways they've just found ways to hide it in the past/haven't been explicit with it or to pay people to hide it for them (in case of people considered nobles - royalty seems known for having jesters historically).

This might depend on which demographics you think have become more infantile though too.

Yes I don't know if it's had much of an effect in the UK. Men are still paid poorly in women dominated fields and vice versa even at market rates (although I'm not too sure why).

The UK also came under pressure from the first iteration of this they put out because it compared overall pay and not hourly pay (I think) so people said it was unfair to companies if women wanted to work part time (and those women if the company wouldn't let them to get their figures up - which could still become a thing on hourly rates imo).

I'm kinda surprised california doesn't collect this information already too. I assume they probably already have a lot of it they could use or get employees to input their information independently (as an annual survey).

I've been under the impression that intelligence is directly linked to how well the brain is able to make and revisit connections between neurons/ideas it's made.

It's certainly possible that the people who handle the most raw data, reading and information will have be able to become a lot more intelligent but I think there are other things too (such as receiving information in multiple formats, I can learn something well if someone else already knows it and can quickly explain it and then answer any questions that arise).

People that overload themselves with information though or ones who try to learn too quickly are likely to remain overloaded (eg notice patterns that don't exist) and make to bad decisions.

What's in the c# code, what have you downloaded and where has it come from?

The main bitcoin source code is written in c++/c, are you looking to build an api that interacts with bitcoin core via a program you make yourself or do you want something else?

There's a lovely button on the left side of every post with the word "Ignore" you could try using it on posts that annoy you if you want.

I can't comment on the thread and posts that were deleted but you seem to have gone from claiming to have only recently come across bitcoin a month ago and trying to understand it to making a bitcoin cult, I think you've skipped a few months/years there at least.

And yes you could probably do with moving this to reputation board - you'll find the button on the lower left.

Will both the sec and the cftc argue it's not their area of authority/expertise though. Is crypto the only thing to not meet the criteria for a security or a derivative? It seems like it'd be more reasonable to have a parent agency of the two that deals with anything that can't be described as matching either if both would have trouble regulating it (as they seem to be saying they would).

Yes there are enough countries that can't be touched by US/China sanctions too that could take on these mining farms - like West Asia and North Africa.


The proof of concept going on at the moment with ethereum might prove whether or not that's actually something we could implement well with bitcoin or not. There's a lot of ways proof of stake can be implemented and some seem to be more centralised than others (though bitcoin pooling might also be considered more centralised than some PoS solutions).

Is there not limitations to this?

It's extra money for energy generating companies but the mining might be sporadic and I don't know how well that'll work for both the miners and the energy firms running them (and the network as a whole) - I guess it's possible waste energy can be estimated and battery systems could be set up to take the energy and use it for the miners to keep them running instead though (I don't know if batteries feeding back to the grid is a good idea as you'd still end up with surplus power that could be used for crypto mining or other oporstuons - like data mining or offering companies slightly cheaper rates for running appliances at that time).

Banning the subsidising of air travel would do wonders for greenhouse gas emissions. Also price gouging companies that refuse to send things by boat because "air is only double the cost for a quarter of the time".

The majority of flights are taken by a small number of people so it's not exactly an equal split/necessity to subsidise them compared to things like national public transport via bus or train.

The US banning pow will just move it elsewhere anyway, if it even goes through - how will they convince countries that are mostly renewable/nuclear to ban it?

Most domestic animals can live well of human scraps (dogs, cats and birds especially).

Most dogs can tolerate even simpler diets of things like chicken, rice and vegetables and aren't that demanding  nutrition wise (most animals can synthesise a lot of vitamins in a way humans can't).

There were a lot more people adopting pets because they were working from home over the pandemic as you've said and I think that's the biggest surge that's been seen. People do tend to buy a lot more from stores now too, I think most pet ownership has been widespread for centuries in the UK and probably a lot of Europe but the difference is the trend that they'll buy things from stores for them (but there are limits to this - dogs can use human things and might need to - like repurposing an old duvet into a bed).

Gen Z buy a lot of human toys for their pets too instead of buying things intended for dogs as they might be better quality or more widespread (to be bough in places like supermarkets or department stores while looking for other things).

I think btc would probably slump a bit based on the news of this and how it plays out but it'll probably respond similar to some stocks and rally after it (interest rates are normally only high when they need to be afaik so they'll probably be lowered within a year or two and most markets can continue in their current direction).

Is this the first rate hike from the ecb though? I don't think I've heard of one before this over the past 6 months and it looks quite a dramatic start (although maybe I've missed some news before).

(I'm assuming testwallet is the first wallet you used and one that works with the rpc command, is it or does that still not work)?


Why are these different, is there a reason for that?

Can you sudo chmod 711 them (according to a search engine that should be RWX--X--X you might want to confirm before doing it?

See if there's a difference between the subfiles of both of those directories too.

Can you interact with the contract via etherscan with your relevant information from the contract (with your proof, secret and lock information - did you get these from the website you used or could that be what's been compromised here)?

I've been reading through this for context on where I got the proof, secret and lock and what those might be: https://www.coincenter.org/education/advanced-topics/how-does-tornado-cash-work/

I remember they used to have a peer to peer marketplace before (I think they had some face to face services too). I'm not sure how it compares to other things though like localbitcoins used to.

If you're asking for advice from here about doing peer to peer transfers most would recommend you try doing them here or at least advertise here as well as on mycelium if you're waiting for the trade to get filled.

Can you check the permissions on the wallet file and post the here (ls -l in the parent directory where the wallet file is and then show us the first 10 characters that should look something like -rwxrw----) just in case it's that, you could also try doing that with the parent folder if you made it yourself to check bitcoin core has the rights to see files inside the folder.

Is there a location where deposits can be seen? I saw a list of withdrawals on etherscan but no deposits.

Is it possible the liquidity has dried up quite a bit? I can't seem to find anything that shows how much liquidity there is (probably to do with the nature of the smart contract) but it'd make sens eif it's being sanctioned quite a lot and I don't know if liquidity providers got paid for providing that or if it was meant to be done by users actively mixing their coins.

I wonder where those figures come from and if they're even accurate.

Afaik 8000TWh is likely to be used by the grid to import your energy to you (going through two transformers to ensure no extra energy is lost in transit and that seems like a lot compared with the 50TWh, are we then also including cars stopping at red lights and fridges giving off heat out the back, or people using old light bulbs that have to gest up to produce light instead of LEDs which can make it almost instantly.

They have just pulled the numbers out of nowhere. As for why the prediction is so far in the future, I could image it being so they can get paid to list other predictions/make other shit coins themselves and predict those for far in the future too as they're less likely to be disproven (I guess).

If you're buying a coin worth 866 nano dollars now that's going to be worth $20 in the future, most people will probably buy as many as they can rather than working out that $1 is probably a reasonable amount to waste on such a thing (at most - though the chain or liquidity pool will likely die/dry up before 2050 too).
