1  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Inflection Point POC; "Proof of Crack" - Scanning more profitable than Mining on: September 18, 2021, 04:02:38 AM
The author isn't suggesting a new consensus protocol,  the essence of what they're saying is sha256 & secp256k1 is only computationally secure and there maybe a time where recovering stranded BTC from inactive wallets is a worthwhile endeavour.

It's more a question of motive.  If you check their post history, all they do is paint doomsday scenarios about Bitcoin so they can pump whichever altcoins they happen to be invested in at the time.  No one is going to take any of their suggestions seriously, because obvious shill is obvious.

Honestly my impression of OP is that they have a pretty low sentiment for crypto in general and don't see any long term trend of shilling.  I will agree some of OPs  beliefs are debatable and quite condescending but they aren't irrational. Their motivation isn't for monetary gain (at least I don't see that)  more of a "I warned you"  due to their continued ostracisation from the community.  As you can tell I'm very new to this community and I hope the bell curve of crypto sentiment is symmetrical or else some black swan events may slip through the cracks...

I'd just like to take a moment to thank you for being so open in regards to Proof of crack. I recently had the same thought earlier this year and it's validating to see someone else share those. I admire your tenacity of being involved in this since 2018. I've only been working on this for a few months and personally experienced numerous times of doubt.

I sincerely doubt the author of this topic, a renowned troll, is posting this because they have a genuine interest in PoC.  They're posting this because they have a vested interest in making weak and illogical arguments against Bitcoin.  They're using PoC as a smokescreen.

They'd rave about any untested concept you care to name if it meant they could take pot-shots at Bitcoin.  Tenacity is not an admirable quality in this situation.  If you want to support an altcoin, please go post about it in the correct subforum.  It doesn't belong here.

Don't take the acronym POC too seriously and try to view it more as a parody.  The author isn't suggesting a new consensus protocol,  the essence of what they're saying is sha256 & secp256k1 is only computationally secure and there maybe a time where recovering stranded BTC from inactive wallets is a worthwhile endeavour. To use the traditional Bitcoin mining analogy, instead of individuals hauling pickaxes to the cave a few individuals might take shovels to the Caribbean to find buried treasure.

Your conclusions of btc origin and secp256k1 backdoor resonated with me (FBI recovered Colonial Pipeline Ransom) and was curious what you thought of other elliptic curve alg like  Ed25519 used for Monero?
4  Economy / Economics / Re: Chinese construction Mega-Bankruptcy. Evergrande about to crash for 355B on: September 16, 2021, 02:18:28 AM
As far as I know, the reason behind the crash of Evergrande (and many other chinese business ventures, banks and businesses).

Involves CCP forcing CEO's like Jack Ma who founded & ran alibaba to step down. So they can be replaced with CCP loyalists who are simply inadequate to the task of successfully running a large enterprise.

There are many chinese capitalists who successfully found and run a large business venture in china. Who are forced to resign and step down. So that the chinese communist party can take over. That's the reason behind there being a long list of spectacular failures for large chinese businesses.

It is possible something similar is happening in the united states. Jeff Bezos may have been forced to resign from amazon. So that political special interests could seize control of it. Something similar may have been attempted with Elon Musk and tesla. Elon tweeted tesla would be guaranteed to fail without him as acting CEO.

There is considerably more political interference in the private sector today, than there was in years past.

 I know that general Chinese populace has a pretty low settlement to the stock market as it's easy to manipulate.  The situation with Jack Ma  exacerbated this, although China's real estate bubble has been a systemic issue for years. I suspect the inconsistent  supply chains of commodities used to construct new homes disincentivized new investors which derailed the whole operation.

As far as I can see, this is a matter for China and their banks, and I really doubt that the whole company will collapse just like that, and that the Chinese authorities will not do anything. There is speculation that the company rejects, but if it cannot remain operational and repay the debts - I do not see what is the other logical option.

Many analysts believe Evergrande will be forced to restructure its debt and possibly faces being dismantled under a government-orchestrated operation to ensure a soft landing that does not capsize the country’s bloated property market.

The company offers debt repayment over a multi-year period, but it is speculated that it could go bankrupt by the end of this year - unfortunately, as always in such situations, the highest price is paid by small investors. Yet this situation hasn’t arisen recently, so I’m a little surprised that the Chinese authorities have allowed (and I don’t believe they didn’t know what was going on) the whole thing to escalate to this point.

The good thing about Bitcoin is that the Chinese have practically banned it (trading&mining), so I don't believe that bad news from China can be used for a new FUD.

Agreed CCP is definitely letting the shadow banks feel the heat as they have always assume CCP would bail them out. I'm curious if this is a part of the NWO plan. China has definitely been biding their time and collecting assets and US debt.
