Bonus question / How much bitcoin will be worth the week before the CBDC is issued.

A big part of industrialized melting pots is training people to enjoy intrusiveness by assigning people to have 'authority' in a small area.

This post will probably be deleted by moderators, but I'm curious how many people welcome a moderator changing their posts under whatever pretext.

I've had many posts deleted. Once I reposted a deleted post and the moderator changed the text. Now with this username there have been no outright deletions, but a moderator combines any two posts into one then sends the message

"A reply of yours, quoted below, was deleted by a Bitcoin Forum moderator. Posts are most frequently deleted because they are off-topic, though they can also be deleted for other reasons. In the future, please avoid posting things that need to be deleted."

Of course in a melting pot it is important to train young people to be intrusive, otherwise a coercive society could not survive. The coercion/rape impulse is the root of a melting pot.

Some sites like reddit, twitter, youtube etc are famous for becoming successful by overcontrolling members.

Is it good or bad?

Thousands of Hezbollah people injured by exploding pagers

Obviously another example of Israeli mischief.

Or was it?

In 2013 Snowden released documents showing that the 'five eyes" had access to virtually all electronic traffic.

Shortly afterwards examples of intrusive spying on EU parliamentarians was a scandal that painted Britain and the 'five eyes' in a bad light... then more scandals...and more...

Then around 2015 several Israelis began selling intrusive spyware.

What would motivate Israelis to jump head first into a scandal plagued field right after Snowden's leaks? Those Israeli companies have been burned again and again, painting Israelis as a modern gestapo, and taking the heat off Britain and the 'five eyes'.

Now, if you mention spyware or intrusive surveillance, most people think of Israel's various spyware firms started right after Snowden exposed the five eyes.

~Fast forward to today~

The pager attack is not going to help Israel. It will galvanize Lebanese against whoever they think did it.

Strangely, just one day ago a new series of sanctions was initiated against another Israeli led spyware.

Recently the UK appears to have engaged in a series of what look like false flags, Crocus being the most high profile.

Of course Israelis like the aura of being associated with complex spy tricks, so they will portray themselves as having done it, but did they?

Or is this another thinly covered British operation to bring the Israel war to a quicker end?

[How many kt will the first Russian nuke be?]

There have been a few times since ww2 that nukes were threatened, but now is the first time that all sides profit from a nuclear escalation.

Western economies are showing red flags, slowing in a way that is most easily solved by a war.

The West is also eager to centralize their economies to become more competitive towards China. Easier during war.

Russia knows that the West needs it to lead with nukes, and they know that the longer they wait the more they will pay.

1) Putin said in a recent interview that Russia's tactical nukes are 70 kilotons, equal to 140 million pounds of tnt. But if he leads with a much smaller nuke there will be a lot more room to escalate.

How many kt will the first Russian nuke be?


My guess = less than 5kt

2) The conflict in Europe now has been choreographed to mirror ww2 in some ways, except there is some mystery over which side is playing the villain. An attack on Poland would be the closest to a ww2 escalation, and it would let European leaders pretend that the villain has shifted East.

Where will the first strike be?

My guess = a Polish site holding weapons waiting to be transferred.

There is a lot of discussion online about gold vs silver, but one major factor is seldom mentioned.

A number of countries are talking about challenging the dollar, including China and Russia.

Silver is an industrial metal whose mining is largely ~50% centered in a few Latin American regions with high indigenous populations.

By pushing silver very high, China and Russia would remove a lot of 'Western' power from Latin America, and it seems likely that will be their strategy, once the next leg up in inflation begins.

For a long time the U.S. has suppressed silver and pumped gold,  as part of its strategy to limit indigenous power in Latin America, and now as fiat devalues it looks like China and Russia only need to spend a few billion usd a year for several years to get military benefit worth trillions.

Beyond that will be cascading effects like nationalizing minerals. Once Western mining companies are kicked out of Bolivia, Peru, Mexico etc there will be a huge Western Achilles heel for industrialization.

Is there any comparable argument for gold?

At this point it looks unlikely that Israel will be around much longer in its current form, but considering the carnage, and the fact that Germany paid billions in reparations to israel, should Israel have to pay to Gaza?

So far no armies have stood up for Gazans, not even Arab armies, aside from making formal complaints.

Gazans are getting more overseas support though. As a Jew I try to look at both sides, but more and more Jews are questioning the roots of Zionism. Movies like Europa the Last Battle raise questions that...are illegal in some countries. People like Philip Joseph Hassler get long jail sentences for.../what was his crime again?

Maybe if the bill is too big we can play the 'chosen' card?

There are two basic positions.

1) Pro Centralized view /  Government control over domains lets law enforcers 'catch' both objective and subjective criminals.
It also allows "good" people to "guide" those who are "uncivilized".

Objective crimes definition  = one individual causing harm to another, against the latter's interest and / or will, and without objective justification.
for example...
Murder for hire,
Child pornography,
Organized violent and / or property crime
etc

Subjective crimes definition = criminality depends on viewpoint.
for example...
Terrorism, usually indigenous "criminality" against an established colonizer,
Political insubordination i.e., disrespecting the norms of a powerful group,
Financial crimes of desperation,
etc

"Good" people = Those raised or indoctrinated into the worldview of those with power.

"Uncivilized" people = Those who have not internalized the value system of the most powerful group.

2) Pro Decentralized view / Freedom of speech and association, e.g. decentralized systems, allow natural processes that are more valuable than the lesser goals of political power groups.

~

There are strong arguments on both sides.

Pro Centralized / Most people who support centralized i.e., government control, are primarily motivated by a desire to serve power, or to serve those with power. As children people are taught that adults are smarter so should be obeyed without question. As people age they often transfer parental authority onto more abstract powers, like government.

Pro Decentralized / Those who oppose centralized control usually fit into one of two groups.
a) Libertine / they do not want others limiting their pleasure,
b) Libertarian / they do not want others controlling their choices.

~

In the past it has been in the political interests of power groups in the West to control things like domain names.

Now with global power shifting East the infrastructure has not changed, and Eastern political power groups are inheriting various norms.

Anybody know anything about this?

Cloudflare warp error, but cloudflare links are not helpful.

It's generally accepted that quantum computers can crack any Public Key algorithm fairly quickly.

PKC uses some wildcard, like modulus, to create an algorithm that creates a system with a large number of curves which makes it difficult to crack. You have to find the size of the difference between consecutive curves in order to figure out which curve a specific key is on.

With quantum computers it is easy.

You need to test a large number of keys first. Start with any private/public key pair and then generate public keys for the next y number of consecutive public keys,

Plot each generated public key individually on an xy axis with the original public key. A very high number of charts with two points.

Then do the same with each y consecutives following the second key.

Now you have a very large number of charts with three points.

Discard all work where the three points deviate by more than 5 degrees.

Start step one again, now starting with three points.

Once you have the curve then you can apply it to any public key to locate its private key.

The problem with this crack is that in a complicated algorithm the space between the first two keys could be in the millions, so you would be testing more pairs than a regular computer could do in a reasonable amount of time.

Is there a way to shorten the search so it could be done on a cheap pc?  


Edit to add /

Looking for a PRACTICAL suggestion.

Obviously consecutive points will deviate by less than a millionth of a degree, so saying "I can reduce your search time 5 million fold by switching from 5 degrees to a millionth of a degree" is not helpful.

Likewise other similar obvious suggestions.

Oct 7 an attack on an Israeli concert venue that many people suspect was an Israeli 'false flag' pretext for expansion, but which others believe may have been organized in Europe.

March 22 an attack on a concert venue in Moscow that had unmistakeable British fingerprints.

Hard to put together, except for one bit of context.

The West is in rapid decline vs Asia, particularly China, and its main strategy going forward has been to create regional blocs and alliances that might slow China's expansion.

Most important of these new blocs of course is the Arab Middle East with Muslim close allies like Iran.

That 'new' Middle East does not include Israel, of course. Something Israelis have been slow to perceive.

Why have Israelis been slow to see what is bearing down on them?

A powerful group **cough** chabad **cough** has been assisting the UK and Russia in possibly the only thing those two countries agree on.

So now this article in Israeli media

https://www.jpost.com/international/article-811255

The appearance seems to be that Israelis are slowly starting to wake up.

A simple test to determine level of retardation in any individual.

Step 1 / Read the question

Step 2 / Select an answer

Step 3 / Refer to the Scoring Section to determine Retardation Quotient

~

Question / Is there a series of mathematical steps which will produce a random number?

~

Answer 1 / Yeah, duh, don't you know what PK cryptography is?

Answer 2 / No, don't be a retard

~

Scoring section

If you chose answer 1 give yourself 10 points

If you chose answer 2 give yourself 0 points

If you now have more than  5 points you are a retard.

For some years I posted on Bitcointalk until moderators started removing my posts. Same with Reddit, Twitter, Youtube etc. Most Americans have had that experience. Now I try to gauge what a particular website will not delete and am careful to only post what moderators will not delete. Most people in the U.S. have to do that.

This topic will be developed slowly.

1) Most competent observers, including those within the governments of the United States and Russia, believe that the overwhelming evidence points to a small group <5 of British agents as having arranged the Crocus bombing in such a way as to try to deflect responsibility onto either the United States or Israel..

2)

3)

4)

5)

Slight chance the various sides are ready for the coup de grace.

Where is the best place for Israelis to safely depart as armed bands sweep north?

There are people claiming the West Bank of the Atlantic is occupied, from Canada south to...whatever is south of Canada.

Any truth to that?

Word seems to be filtering out that so called 'secure hashing algorithms' are all broken, and China has joined the U.S. in the very short list of countries with the ability.

How did they do it?

Only thing known for sure is that it has to do with the fact that the complexity of patterns an algorithm produces  progresses slower than the complexity of the algorithm. So in relation to hashing algorithms that means that you can take a large number of products of the algorithm e.g. public addresses, and find the pattern fairly easily, then backtrack to the private keys.

Anybody have more info?
