https://www.yahoo.com/news/mathematician-solves-algebra-oldest-problem-191715721.html

Pretty much a radical way to solve complex quadratic polynomials

Reject the idea of irrational numbers.


"According to his new approach detailed in The American Mathematical Monthly, there’s a much more elegant approach to high order polynomials—all you need to do is get rid of pesky notions like irrational numbers."

So is this a path to solving complex crypto?
4  Other / Politics & Society / Trump has cut his first official deal with the Ukraine. Thoughts anyone? on: May 01, 2025, 01:27:33 AM
https://www.yahoo.com/news/kremlin-says-deal-end-war-103033795.html


"WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. and Ukraine on Wednesday signed off on a deal that will give Washington access to Ukraine's vast critical minerals and natural resources, finalizing an agreement weeks in the making to compensate the U.S. for its help in repelling Russia’s invasion.

The two sides offered only barebone details about the structure of the deal, which they called the United States-Ukraine Reinvestment Fund. But it is expected to give the U.S. access to Ukraine’s valuable rare earth minerals while providing Kyiv a measure of assurance about continued American support in its grinding war with Russia.

“This agreement signals clearly to Russia that the Trump administration is committed to a peace process centered on a free, sovereign, and prosperous Ukraine over the long term,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a statement. “President Trump envisioned this partnership between the American people and the Ukrainian people to show both sides’ commitment to lasting peace and prosperity in Ukraine.”


So did Trump get a win by playing Putin?

Or did he get a win by playing Zelenskky?

And will he now be able fuck China and Tariff them into submission as USA now has Minerals they need.


Seems like Trump got a real win here.


5  Economy / Speculation / What is the longest negative hodl for btc? on: April 27, 2025, 10:52:55 PM
Okay bad timing question.

I THINK dec 2017 ath  was 19.5k. The 17th of dec 2017 had 19.1 to 19.5k

I think Jan 23 2023 we were at 16k  Jan 13th 2023 we were at 18.8k

That would be a 5 year  27 day  losing hodl is think this is the worse hodl  time slot for negative gain



ARE there any 6 year  bad hodls for btc?

Or longer than the 5 years 27 days i listed.





Is the 5 year 27 bad hold the worst on record?

Nov 30 2013 peak was 1300

By may 2017 we got past that and never went lower so a 3 year 5 month hodl and you beat the Nov 2013 high and never looked back

Is it legal for CBP to search your cell phone at the U.S. border?
Electronic device searches at the border are raising serious privacy concerns, especially for international travelers arriving in the U.S.


Yes it is and do not come into USA with a phone wallet with serious cash in it.



If you enter the USA with 100k worth of BTC in your phone wallet and it is undeclared you could lose it.

So be careful leaving and entering the country.

10  Economy / Reputation / copy cat or ai posts? on: March 19, 2025, 03:43:15 AM
This thread has two posts that look really similar. this is the op post

Hi,
I stumbled upon a website called Find The Block https: // findtheblock . com that offers solo mining for Bitcoin with a fixed 2 GH/s hashrate for different time periods. Their claim is that if you validate a block, you keep the full 3.125 BTC reward (minus the network fee, I guess).
The prices seem low (€1.99 for a day, €4.99 for a week, etc.), and it looks like a simple way to try solo mining without needing expensive hardware. But I’m wondering if it’s actually worth it or if it’s just another cloud mining scheme.
From my understanding, solo mining with only 2 GH/s has an extremely low probability of hitting a block, but I wanted to hear from others before dismissing it.
Has anyone here tried it?
Do you think a service like this has any real potential?
Could it be a legit way to test solo mining, or is it just a waste of money?
Looking forward to your thoughts. Thanks!


The concept of solo mining with a fixed hashrate like 2 GH/s is intriguing, especially for those who want to dip their toes into solo mining without investing in expensive hardware. However, as you mentioned, the probability of actually finding a block with such a low hashrate is extremely slim. Bitcoin's network difficulty is incredibly high, and even with larger hashrates, solo mining is often more of a lottery than a reliable income stream.
I recently wrote an in-depth article about solo mining, How to Mine 3.125 Bitcoin at Home(https:// yesmining .io /en/how-to-mine-3-125-bitcoin-at-home/), and it’s a great resource for anyone interested in solo mining. The article covers key topics like the basics of solo mining, the challenges of low hashrates, the importance of mining pools, and whether it’s feasible to mine Bitcoin at home.
If you also think this lottery-like BTC mining is fun, you can start by learning about the Solo BTC Miner above. Solo mining requires patience, but the potential rewards make it a worthwhile venture for miners.

11  Bitcoin / Hardware / Playing with a 1 board t21 miner 120 volts 500 to 1000 watts. on: February 28, 2025, 03:04:58 PM
So I have 4 T21 miners that were modded to run on 220-277 volt single phase .

They were randomly failing I purchase 2 S21 XPs to replace the 2 worst T21's.

I decided to try to build  six 1 board 120 volt miners form the six boards.

I am getting an intermittent chip over heat issue.

So I will Try to understand why this odd overheating issue happens.

I am almost certain the OEM paste is the issue.

The good thing is the t21 heatsinks are bolt on.

Photos and results of the build / re pasting shall be posted.

Feel free to comment.

13  Economy / Collectibles / 50 oz silver under spot>>> ready now on: January 30, 2025, 10:15:14 PM
Cleaned this thread up a bit.

Free shipping to USA insured and signature required

Overseas you have to deal with minerjones for shipping. I would ship it to him and that would end my obligation.

I round down from spot

34.xx = 34 even
33.xx = 33 even
32.xx = 32 even

I will take.

BTC
LTC
Doge
Eth  
Solana


but no paypal no Venmo no cc's

I self escrow my record of sale sales very good.

USPS with insured and signature.




Under 30 sale is suspended





silverprice.org

ampex.com used to figure price.


we are at 33.93 so we round down to 33 good time to grab the 50 oz








spacer


weight is 1585 grams which is 50.95 troy oz there is still a bit of plastic on two of the bars so it is likely right at 50 oz or a bit more like 50.2 troy oz















https://www.apmex.com/silver-price

Over 33.93 usd spot at  March that is rounded down to 33 so 33 x 50 =1,650  with free shipping



If you are overseas talk to miner Jones to set up shipping.

You get it rounded down to 33 an oz





I will do this tonight .

This will be a round down sale like the other three.


free ship.

 If you are not in the usa talk to minerjones as I will only ship to USA buyers directly.

I self escrow I have had a good seller/buyer record.



I will take.

BTC
LTC
Doge
Eth  
Solana


but no paypal no Venmo no cc's

The last 3 sales were good for over 320 oz of silver

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5502105.0
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5498771.0
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5497058.0


terms are spot round down as per silver price.org or ampex.com  


spacer

oh if price drops under 30.00 an oz  sale is halted


spacer

I have

3x 10 oz pieces
4x  5 oz pieces

grand total of 50 troy oz.

on my scale with plastic cases weight is 1590 gm

that is around 51.1 troy oz.

but I say it is 50 troy at the rounded down price on silverprice.org


that would be 31.61 = 31 an oz x 50 = 1550 usd in btc or ltc or doge

the actual price is determined at price when sale is made.


feel free to talk on the thread.

note I moved my three sales together so you can look at them.


14  Other / Meta / Voicing a complaint about a post. on: January 17, 2025, 10:01:45 PM
How do you think the economic condition of the United States can be when the Los Angeles fire in the United States recently destroyed many people's homes?  What kind of time do you think it would take to recover all the problems caused by the fire? How could the current state of wildfires in California affect the economy?
What is clear in several media that I monitor is that the losses have reached more than 1000 trillion, a very large amount for a fire phenomenon. This is the first time I have seen a situation this severe. Not many possessions could be saved from the fire, except for the clothes they were wearing. Many of them have not received proper assistance. Hopefully the victims will be given fortitude. Those of us outside the US share our condolences.


the losses are under 30 billion as 13,000 homes and businesses at 1 million each add to about 13 billion


1000 trillion is simply wrong

even 1 trillion is certainly wrong

Not sure where to complain but gross misstatements of reality annoy me.

BTW I bolded the 1000 trillion as it is simply ridiculous.


rant done.
15  Other / Meta / Why is this tread allowed? on: January 03, 2025, 02:10:57 PM
My thoughts are as follows if someone uses the info in this thread bitcointalk.org could easily be sued for the damaged caused.

I am US based and have a bit of understanding of liability laws. Bitcointalk.org is USA based and would be subject to USA laws.

So I see the thread as a threat to bitcointalk.org





See it below it is locked so it is harder to quote:

How People Are Making $100K+ daily Using - Crypto Drainer
November 22, 2024, 05:19:08 PM   
Reply with quote  +Merit  #1
I Thought This Might Be Helpful To Someone Here And Decided To Share. Today I am sharing with you a method not new, but explained like never before, showing how people are making 100K+ in a month or less than a week, depending on how eager you are.


Let's start with what a crypto drainer is:

Simply put, it's a scam page that you share with victims (crypto wallet victims). Once they are on the page, they are requested to connect their wallet. Once the wallet is connected, Boom! All the crypto, tokens, NFTs, and assets in the wallet are transferred to you.

Wait, how??  How do drainers work?

The drainers depend on the quality of the script. They have bots working behind the scenes. Once the victim connects their wallet, it automatically starts transferring all valuable assets from the wallet without even asking for the victim's confirmation.

How is that possible?

Yes, it is possible. Here's how: When the drainer asks you to connect your wallet, it also sends a contract (just like connecting to a platform like Opensea). Once the contract is signed, you give the scammer access to all the assets in your wallet.

Where they found the drainers ?

This is the million-dollar question. There are many ways:

- You can develop your own, but you should have at least 99.99% knowledge of blockchain.
- You can buy it, which costs between 5K-30K, but 91% of the sellers are scammers. Why? Really? You're asking why?
- The most common option is renting it from providers like Exogator (+17k members) , AngelDrain (+1.6k members), etc.  The advantage here is that your subscription (start from  $199) keeps your scripts updated, but they take a percentage of your earnings too.

Some methods they are using
 
- Emails: If you have an email sending method (SMTP, Mailer, Server, etc.) and a good list of potential targets who are interested in crypto or are likely to have wallets, you can email them. There are many options you can use (e.g., "You just received 200 USDT on your wallet, claim it... +999 other options").
- Social Media: You can create fake accounts to share your link with others, offering them airdrops or rewards.
- SMS: You can use SMS in the same way as emails.


I hope that I answered all your questions. If you still have some, write them in the comments. If there are enough, I may create part 2 of this thread.
If you appreciate my effort, leave a like or comment.

17  Other / Off-topic / In an homage to Og’s pushup thread I am doing a stair steps thread. on: December 25, 2024, 09:38:01 PM
Since I want to be inclusive I invite Don Pedro to join the thread along with Og.

This is simple enough I have built my average of pushups to 100 a day and we did pass 100k price.

So this will be walk up  100 steps of stairs a day and of course back down the 100 steps. Total of 200 steps.

we do it until we reach 200k price.

and of course continue to do your pushups.

This is on  off topic for a good reason the spirit of compromise which if we do it correctly allows us to get in better shape.

Now for people with no steps to be found this could be harder for you.

I would say make a small platform and step 100 times and step down 100 times.

I have a six step then landing then a six step

it is 12 steps up and 12 steps down it would take 8 flights up and 8 flights down to add to 96 and I would simply do a few more to go to 100.



I will post here and in the pushup thread hoping that the combined effort pushes us past 200k by Dec 31 2025.



So

200k,philipma1957,1,100,12-25-2024




this is a copy of dirty key boards format .

the 200k is the goal "…."……………………. 200k
the name next…………………………………….. philipma1957
how many days you did the steps……… 1
total steps …………………………………….……. 100

date …."…………………………………..………….. 12-25-2024


lets get in better shape and richer and make friend Og and Don Pedro

I am hitting the steps today.

at dirtykeyboard you do not have to script this. but it would be nice.




So at my bro-in-law’s. its a straight shot of 13 steps to climb up.

So 7 x up is 91 7x down is 91

then nine steps up  nine steps down (backwards for those nine for different muscle use)

I am almost 68 years old so today I did 110 pushups and climbed 100 steps up then down.

the pushups were

30
35
25
20

then drove to my bro-in-law 84 minels in 90 minutes very early today.

ate a ton of food.

then

100 steps up and down

will eat more food
do more steps
and then drive a longer time back home.


this will be a very full day for me.

18  Other / Meta / My thanks to the forum's admins and mods. on: December 25, 2024, 07:54:47 AM

20  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Using loyces love of laptop nodes I built a nice linux laptop node. on: December 18, 2024, 09:49:51 PM
So loyce says he likes a laptop for a node/wallet.

I usually use mac mini and dell tinys but I saw a laptop on best buy with an intel i5 12 gen a touch screen and it was a 15 inch.

it did have a 256 gb nvme2 ssd and only 8gb ram. plus it was wifi only.

I grabbed it for 300 I popped it open put in a 2tb ssd and 32gb ram.

I DID A review of the ssd on newegg as they sometimes give me gear to review.

https://www.newegg.com/crucial-2tb-p310/p/N82E16820156408#IsFeedbackTab

it is the review by philip a.

As an added bonus for security i did this with linux mint.

since the hp laptop was originally windows and I pulled the smaller ssd in-order to connect to the net with wifi you need to connect with a usb to ethernet adapter.

if you never load drivers the laptop is eth only which means it is air gapped when you pull out the eth cable.

link for the ram
link for the eth adapter which was driverless. and did do 1000 speed as I loaded the 630gb blockchain in 6 hours or so.


ram link

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08C4X9VR5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

eth adapter

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B087QFQW6F?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

the laptop is no longer on sale for black friday

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-15-6-touch-screen-laptop-intel-core-i5-8gb-memory-512gb-ssd-natural-silver/6587788.p?skuId=6587788


I paid 350 for laptop
I paid 0 for nvme2
I paid 58 for ram
I paid 13 for eth to usb

just over 400 its pretty nice laptop.

but the real value to the thread is if you get a wifi only laptop switch to linux os use only an eth adapter. never load drivers for wifi and you are air gapped.

there are a lot of cheap laptops with the right size ram 32 gb on ebay.
