Personally i will never again listen news or social media. i learnt it in 2018.

This time it's different. Source: Trust me bro  Grin


I will still stick to my Q4 2022 prediction. The ETH developers are the 'used auto salesmen of tech'. They have delivered late on their promises 90% of the time. The problem this summer is the difficulty bomb, not PoS.
Difficulty bomb can be defused or delayed anytime(but before 15th June). It really isn't a problem.


Do not have to trust the various experts in the sector and the various pseudo news, the tests are well advanced but not yet perfect in my opinion the actual transition to pos will not take place before 2023
That's too much extrapolation through distrust.

ETH devs are slow, true. But it's due to their thorough nature. They don't want to release a blunder and crash the crypto sphere.
This merge needs bugless clients, else we will face incidents of slashing, halted chain and even quadratic leak(where majority of your eth will literally burn and you can do nothing about it).

My money is still on August.

Hey everyone,

If you are a trader on localbitcoins, and want to automate your trades then I can help you out.

I will be using official library of locabitcoins.


I will make sure that your ad offers the best price in your region.
Everything will be automated, except for:
->Confirming that you have received the FIAT payment for any trade.
->Sending FIAT payments from your bank account.

I will create a whatsapp or telegram interface, so that you can do these two tasks seamlessly. Making them semi-automatic too  Cheesy



As for the security of bot, localbitcoins offers you to set a pin. So no money will be released or withdrawn without that pin. Read about money_pin at https://localbitcoins.com/api-docs/


544  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Death of Etheruem mining - Predicitions on: May 14, 2022, 11:04:03 AM
... So 15th of August is my prediction for merge.

Why Aug 15?

Due to difficulty bomb.
Devs are going to delay it for 2 months(minimum and optimal situation).
Difficulty bomb is a crucial part of migration. For protection from miners(bifurcation through 51% attack).

>The bot will now scrap recent pages after ever 20 seconds compared to 2 seconds in previous version, to eliminate any bot like behavior and reduce unnecessary load on bitcointalk server.
I think reducing that even further by default probably wouldn't be an issue. Not many users here need to be notified that quickly. You could probably ramp it up to two minutes, five minutes or even ten minutes. For example, when I go on expeditions, and use a satellite communicator, that has the option for two minutes, ten minutes, and 30 minutes, and I usually stick it on the ten minute one as it doesn't kill the battery too quickly, and is still decent enough. I know this is slightly different, but how many times does someone reply to your thread or post within a minute? Probably not often.

Also, while this might have worked for a while now, changing the time to wait would likely help future proof it, if theymos ever decides to change the request rate limit, since to me twenty seconds is quite quick, and doesn't give you much leeway. Although, is definitely an improvement over the two second limit.
Yup, 20 seconds is still too frequent for an update check.
Will replace it with 3 minutes next week Cheesy

No merge this year or you also believe in santa claus. The history show it - we speak about PoS since 2016 or 2017 and nothing happens. I know we are closer than ever before, but no not this year  Cheesy
Shadowfork results says otherwise tho. Many devs are confident that we will witness the merge very soon. Unless you have some insider info  Shocked  

I do understand your skeptical outlook tho(their history is tainted when it comes to merge wen).

I had my share of doubts too, until I started following the updates more closely. This time we have shadowforks, which is a copy of mainnet itself. And they have merged 4 copies of mainnet till now with a few minor bugs.
I am very confident with my findings and conclusion.


After the luna ust disasters. pos will be put off for this year. unless eth crashs to sub 1000 usd.

If eth floats in the 1800-2500 price range or higher going pos is not happening.

they are simply not taking the chance of tanking the market like we just saw with luna ust.


if eth moons to 5000-9000 they will likely do nothing. for the same reasons.

but if eth crashes to 700 we will see the switch to pos asap.

we just saw that a garbage shit coin combo of luna/ust crashed and burned dragging the market with it.

eth is not going to do this.

they need only wait for a solid price drop to say we will rescue eth and go pos.

till then nothing. okay
Switching to POS does come with huge risk. The market may be a factor in their decision making.

But what excuses can they give once everything is developed, tested, and concluded as working.  They can't stall it forever without any real reason.

13/05/2022 Updates:

Shadowfork 4 was a success, except for minor bugs with erigon.
Another shadowfork planned for next week
Source: https://twitter.com/parithosh_j/status/1524767841773363200

There's a dev meeting scheduled for today.
Tune into the meeting at 1400 UTC(1 hr from now): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFxkGdPv4F8

Devs meeting has been concluded.
Major point from the meeting:
->They are going to merge Ropsten chain on 8th June.
->They didn't talk about the difficulty bomb at all(surprising).
->There were a few voices rasied to delay Ropsten merge till 15th, but majority of devs wanted to get it done earlier. Hence, 8th of June.

My conclusion from today's meeting and how it effects the merge:
  Difficulty bomb has been predicted for 15th June 2022. We definitely aren't going to merge mainnet by 15th June 2022. So they are going to delay the bomb.  It's going to be the final delay(unless they stumble across some major issue during testnet merge).

This delay will be in accordance with mainnet merge date(i.e. whichever date devs are confident with). Judging by how the development is going, it will be a delay of 2 months from June 15th. So 15th of August is my prediction for merge.
549  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Death of Etheruem mining - Predicitions on: May 13, 2022, 10:09:18 AM
Merge is going to happen sooner than later, you can follow the major events here: wenmerge.com

It all depends on one question,
When will devs be confident enough to push the merge?

For this^ to happen
>All shadowforks must pass without any major bugs.
>Public Testnets should merge without any bugs


We have been through 4 shadowforks, and all of them went through successfully.
They have planned a 5th shadowfork(possibly final) for 20th may.

Lets dedicate this thread to the discussion of merge, the day when GPU mining will be officially dead(forever?)


My estimate for now: Merge in August 2022

550  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: NiceHash - 100% LHR Unlock on: May 09, 2022, 12:54:55 AM
snip
Diff bomb hasn't been set yet. There was a talk upcoming on 13/05 about whether to set it up now or delay it since record of diff bombs goes off, avg transaction's time increase and hurt the ETH ecosystem in a short term. Though I do think diff bomb is needed if ETH wants to move from PoW to PoS. This late release of 100% unlock hashrate for nvidia LHR cards feels like a prisoner's last dinner, really. Don't know if it was good news or bad news since ETH diff for now will increase further.
I think it will take this entire month to know for certain.  Even devs aren't sure whether they can push a stable merge with all clients before the bomb. But there's a good chance of merging before August or Sept. Recent shadowforks are going pretty well with minor bugs.

There's still a chance of another hard fork delay tho lol
It's like a Hitchcock movie, we won't know for sure until the last week(possibly last day) of this month.

Either way, I am selling off my GPUs. Can't take that risk Smiley
Best time for selling non LHR cards was last week, second best time is now.
551  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: NiceHash - 100% LHR Unlock on: May 08, 2022, 02:24:56 PM
NBMiner 41.0 now has 100% unlock as well:

https://github.com/NebuTech/NBMiner/releases

Just tested and its legit:



dang, I was hoping for nicehash release to be some dual mining hack lol
Seems like it's real and nvidia themselves made it happen somehow since the demand of their cards is declining.
Also GPU mining is going to be very much dead soon (chain merging + difficulty bomb ), might as well generate more revenue till Q3, before it ends. Well played NoVidya.
552  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: NiceHash - 100% LHR Unlock on: May 08, 2022, 05:59:46 AM
Wow, my non lhr 3080 will take a hit now
This will only expedite the doom of public gpu mining.

Pretty sure new driver update coming soon, but I don't think it's going to change anything.
Unless Nvidia decides to punish the users of this exploit. Which is very unlikely but still possible.

If you want to take btc then would you like to mention btc amount regarding the loan amount and also mention the repayment amount in bitcoin too? And if you want to take loan in usdt then you should post your usdt wallet. Note: for usdt transaction fe should be deducted from you.
I will be happy to cover fees.

Changes made:
>Added Telegram as a notification mode
>The bot will now scrap recent pages after ever 20 seconds compared to 2 seconds in previous version, to eliminate any bot like behavior and reduce unnecessary load on bitcointalk server.
>Bot will go into sleep for 5 minutes after making a notification. Again, did this to reduce any unnecessary scrapping of bitcointalk
>A few changes in how the bot reads title input

Might add in future:
