21  Economy / Services / Excel Formulas Wanted on: April 18, 2021, 12:11:27 PM
Anyone good with making excel spreadsheets more automated and want to make some satoshis, let me know..

I basically want to enter 0800 in the time start box and 1600 in the time end box (military time) and have that port to a couple other boxes as 12 and some others as 8 and 4 (if>8 put 8 and remainder 4 into OT box) for straight time and overtime..
Dates need to populate a few boxes too..

Shouldn’t be too complicated..

If this works out then we will probably also like to port some boxes from this daily worksheet into a separate job cost tracking worksheet..
Maybe more..

It’s ‘entirely possible’ vaccine campaigns ‘will be used for massive-scale depopulation’: Former Pfizer VP

PLEASE warn every person not to go near top up vaccines. There is absolutely no need to them...If someone wished to harm or kill a significant proportion of the world’s population over the next few years, the systems being put in place right now will enable it. It’s my considered view that it is entirely possible that this will be used for massive-scale depopulation', Dr Mike Yeadon told the American Frontline Doctors

Dr. Yeadon said: “I’m well aware of the global crimes against humanity being perpetrated against a large proportion of the world’s population.

“I feel great fear, but I’m not deterred from giving expert testimony to multiple groups of able lawyers like Rocco Galati in Canada and Reiner Fuellmich in Germany.

“I have absolutely no doubt that we are in the presence of evil (not a determination I’ve ever made before in a 40-year research career) and dangerous products.

“In the U.K., it’s abundantly clear that the authorities are bent on a course which will result in administering ‘vaccines’ to as many of the population as they can. This is madness, because even if these agents were legitimate, protection is needed only by those at notably elevated risk of death from the virus. In those people, there might even be an argument that the risks are worth bearing. And there definitely are risks which are what I call ‘mechanistic’: inbuilt in the way they work.

“But all the other people, those in good health and younger than 60 years, perhaps a little older, they don’t perish from the virus. In this large group, it’s wholly unethical to administer something novel and for which the potential for unwanted effects after a few months is completely uncharacterized.

“In no other era would it be wise to do what is stated as the intention.

“Since I know this with certainty, and I know those driving it know this too, we have to enquire: What is their motive?

“While I don’t know, I have strong theoretical answers, only one of which relates to money and that motive doesn’t work, because the same quantum can be arrived at by doubling the unit cost and giving the agent to half as many people. Dilemma solved. So it’s something else. Appreciating that, by entire population, it is also intended that minor children and eventually babies are to be included in the net, and that’s what I interpret to be an evil act.

“There is no medical rationale for it. Knowing as I do that the design of these ‘vaccines’ results, in the expression in the bodies of recipients, expression of the spike protein, which has adverse biological effects of its own which, in some people, are harmful (initiating blood coagulation and activating the immune ‘complement system’), I’m determined to point out that those not at risk from this virus should not be exposed to the risk of unwanted effects from these agents.”

Former Pfizer VP: ‘Your government is lying to you in a way that could lead to your death.’

Look out the window, and think, “why is my government lying to me about something so fundamental?” Because, I think the answer is, they are going to kill you using this method. They’re going to kill you and your family.’

He addressed the “demonstrably false” propaganda from governments in response to COVID-19, including the “lie” of dangerous variants, the totalitarian potential for “vaccine passports,” and the strong possibility we are dealing with a “conspiracy” which could lead to something far beyond the carnage experienced in the wars and massacres of the 20th century

His main points included:

There is “no possibility” current variants of COVID-19 will escape immunity. It is “just a lie.”

Yet, governments around the world are repeating this lie, indicating that we are witnessing not just “convergent opportunism,” but a “conspiracy.” Meanwhile media outlets and Big Tech platforms are committed to the same propaganda and the censorship of the truth.

Pharmaceutical companies have already begun to develop unneeded “top-up” (“booster”) vaccines for the “variants.” The companies are planning to manufacture billions of vials, in addition to the current experimental COVID-19 “vaccine” campaign.

Regulatory agencies like the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency, have announced that since these “top-up” vaccines will be so similar to the prior injections which were approved for emergency use authorization, drug companies will not be required to “perform any clinical safety studies.”

Thus, this virtually means that design and implementation of repeated and coerced mRNA vaccines “go from the computer screen of a pharmaceutical company into the arms of hundreds of millions of people, [injecting] some superfluous genetic sequence for which there is absolutely no need or justification.”

Why are they doing this? Since no benign reason is apparent, the use of vaccine passports along with a “banking reset” could issue in a totalitarianism unlike the world has ever seen. Recalling the evil of Stalin, Mao, and Hitler, “mass depopulation” remains a logical outcome.

The fact that this at least could be true means everyone must “fight like crazy to make sure that system never forms.”

“And if you wanted to introduce a characteristic which could be harmful and could even be lethal, and you can even tune it to say ‘let’s put it in some gene that will cause liver injury over a nine-month period,’ or, cause your kidneys to fail but not until you encounter this kind of organism [that would be quite possible]. Biotechnology provides you with limitless ways, frankly, to injure or kill billions of people.

“And since I can’t think of a benign explanation for any of the steps: variants, top-up vaccines, no regulatory studies… it’s not only that I cannot think of a benign explanation, the steps described, and the scenario described, and the necessary sort of resolution to this false problem is going to allow what I just described: unknown, and unnecessary gene sequences injected into the arms of potentially billions of people for no reason.

“I’m very worried … that pathway will be used for mass depopulation, because I can’t think of any benign explanation.”

“The most different variant is only 0.3% different from the original sequence as emailed out of Wuhan in … January 2020. 0.3% [is] the one [variant] that is the most different on the planet so far. And now another way of saying it is, ‘all of the variants are not less than 99.7% identical to each other.’

“Now, you might be thinking, ‘hmm, .3%, is that enough [to escape immunity and become more dangerous]?’ The answer is no.

And, so, the idea that 0.3% could even have a chance of getting around immunity is just a lie. It’s not [even] like an opinion difference.

“I don’t think 3% would be enough. That’s 10 times more variation than has occurred in 16 months [with this virus]. I don’t even think 30% difference would be enough. So, I’m saying that 100 times more variation than has actually happened, would still leave me putting a big bet on the human immune system not being fooled that these are new pathogens.

“I’ve chatted this over with several professors of immunology and they agreed with me, it’s like, ‘why are you asking me this?’

23  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Crazy pow power reduction idea on: April 08, 2021, 12:39:14 AM
Reduce difficulty to target block time of 2 minutes..
After block solved nodes start timer to 8 minutes..
At 8 minutes somehow generate random number  (possibly use last/nearest tx broadcast closest to 8 minute mark as the random number?)..
Next block must be solved including hash of last block and random number generated to prove work started after the 8 minute mark since last block solved..
Still requires the same amount of computing power giving same security, but miners only run for 2 minutes out of every 10 minutes instead of constantly..
Reduces power consumption by 80%..


Have any ideas like this came up to run POW security in bursts rather than constantly?

Could it possibly make BTC even MORE secure because miners would be able to spend that 80% power savings on more ASICS rather than spending it in electricity?
This would greatly increase the profitability of mining, not paying so much electricity, and create even more of a race for more hashpower, no?
Would probably even make mining profitable even at high electricity costs until 500% more hashrate came online to compete..
The value of miners, even old inefficient miners, would skyrocket? (Basically all miners would see an efficiency increase of 500%?)
Could insanely increase hashrate and hence security?


24  Other / Politics & Society / #SuperStraight on: March 06, 2021, 08:16:20 PM


A new gender identity has been invented called “SuperStraight” putting an S into the LGBTQ alphabet..
It basically means that you are only attracted to a natural born member of the opposite sex..
“Straights” have long been criticized and labeled “transphobic” for not wanting to date transsexuals.
Well, it turns out that “superstraight” is just another sexual identity..
Turns out their are also many many “SuperLesbians” and “SuperGays” coming out now aswell now that the discovery of this new sexual identity has been made..
They already have a flag and a symbol..

The problem is that many of the LGBTQ community are mad about it, but who are they to question the sexual identity of anyone else?

What do YOU think?

https://crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/88582/does-schnorrs-2021-factoring-method-show-that-the-rsa-cryptosystem-is-not-secur


From what I am seeing this could be big if true/correct.. I’m not seeing any mention of it here yet..
I assume this is the same “Schnorr” as in “Schnorr signatures”? Edit: Yes it is..


Does this mean anything to Bitcoin or other coins that use different algorithms?
A laymen’s explanation could also be very helpful to many here (including me)..




“ cryptocurrencies have shunned RSA in favor of  signatures based on elliptic curves, initially ECDSA and later moving towards pairing-based cryptography. Ethereum is the lone exception, having added native RSA support with EIP-198. “
https://www.google.com/amp/s/randomoracle.wordpress.com/2019/07/14/ethereum-mixing-with-rsa-getting-by-without-zero-knowledge-proofs/amp/

So maybe it will kill ETH..


If this is true, that RSA encryption is basically cracked, how bad would it hurt ETH?

33  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Vanity Addresses, Last Digits? on: November 28, 2020, 07:20:57 PM
When I double and triple check what address I pasted to send to, I usually check the first few and last few characters of the address.. I see a lot about vanity addresses in the first few digits, but what about the last digits?

Is it as easy to make addresses with the last digits the same as it is the first?

Relating to sending security, if I check the first 5 and last 5 of an address is that pretty safe? Any vanity addresses out there that could quickly copy the first AND last digits of my addresses so I would think they are correct to send, but scam me in the middle?

How much of a BTC address do you need to verify is correct before making a send?
Is the end also vulnerable?

Supposing one of those malware things where it changes the addy when you paste, and it even tries hard to make a similar addy for you to paste to trick you, if that’s even a thing, but could be..

Can you also work on the end digits of an address for vanity?
I imagine yes, and security would just come down to the amount of total digits anywhere in the addy..

35  Other / Politics & Society / Antrim county Michigan fakes Biden votes???!!! on: November 04, 2020, 08:31:22 PM
Republicans sound alarm on Antrim County election results
By MAX JOHNSTON | IPR • 2 HOURS AGO
 
Results in Antrim County reset back to 0% midday Wednesday. Previously, returns showed the county voting roughly 62% in favor of Joe Biden.
CREDIT NPR/MICHIGAN RADIO
There may be a problem with Antrim County’s ballots. According to unofficial results posted by the county clerk, Democrats got the majority of votes there.

As of 9:30 this morning, Democratic Presidential Candidate Joe Biden had more than 7,700 votes in the county, 3,000 more than President Donald Trump. Democratic candidates Gary Peters and Dana Ferguson also outperformed their Republican opponents in the county.

That has Triston Cole (R-Mancelona), who lives and represents Antrim County in the Michigan State House, confused.

“There is no way that we flipped from 62% Trump in 2016 to upside-down this time around,” he said.

Cole specifically cited the results at his polling place: Chestonia Township. Antrim County’s election results show Representative Jack Bergman (R-Watersmeet) only got 2 votes.

“I can guarantee that there were 6 [Bergman votes] in my immediate family alone,” he said.


Cole says GOP officials have been talking all morning about the county’s results. He says legal action may be taken, but much is still uncertain.
https://www.michiganradio.org/post/republicans-sound-alarm-antrim-county-election-results

results on electronic tapes and a computer card were accurate but it appeared that some of the results were somehow scrambled after the cards were transported in sealed bags from township precincts to county offices and downloaded onto a computer.
https://www.freep.com/story/news/politics/elections/2020/11/04/michigan-antrim-county-election-results-trump-biden-blue/6162541002/


I just noticed this county missing on cnn and looked it up..
Turns out they are trying to blame the voting machines for giving Biden a ton of fake votes there..
Like wtf..

How are we supposed to trust these vote counting machines?

If their is a case for election fraud.. HERE IT IS!!

Durability- Thing is gonna get dropped a lot I'm sure.. (no touchscreen crap please)
Lot of CPU and RAM to handle serious live charts and a million open tabs-
RGB keyboard- RGB chassis is cool too-
Hate the Dell charger problems-
Don't play videogames but a big graphics card is better than no or crap graphics card right?

Kinda looking at the MSI Raider laptops, but don't know if I need/want a new one with the latest gen I7s or if I should save some money and get maybe an older one with an 8th gen I7?
Bang for the buck?
New with warranty or used?

Would dual boot it, probably triple actually..
I need 7 or older for some of my car diagnostic programs.. It's fun to also have a linux OS..
So warranty would probably be worthless?

I could spend $1,200, but do I need to? Would rather not really..

My M14X has I think a 6th gen I7 and 32gb of ram, and am looking for a little upgrade from that, and to escape the Dell charger problems, and it is now quite broken in many ways..

Don't want a huge screen.. 14"-16" ish..

Could I maybe just put my 32gb of ram out of my m14x into whatever new one I get?
Don't really care about a huge SSD, and tb hdds are a dime a dozen..
Think I have a 256 ssd and a 1tb hdd I could also transplant?, but want a big CPU..

Do I really need a beast of a laptop? No..
But I like having nice things, and want one.
Needs to be cool..
