Happy birthday LFC.
Seems like we are all celebrating with you with the way BTC is going.
Oh the joy.

I think I might get a solid silver toilet when we hit $50,000 per bitcoin. It’ll feel nice sitting on it shitting, thinking of r0ach. Sent my last smerit. Thanks for the laugh/idea. |

Welcome back Elwar.
Hopefully it didn't cost you too much BTC to get you and Nadia out of danger.
We the WO hat brigade are behind you.

CZ...you said safu?  apparently the hot wallet at Binance lost 7k corn...ouch. Glad that they don't want a BTC rollback...  That would be ******. A consensuses for such a rollback would be madness. Every stupid fuck could demand a rollback for a lost wallet if they would allow it in this case. Indeed, I doubt that they would have been able to if they tried. This further illustrates the necessity of further distribution of the hash power and why centralisation is a bad thing when it comes to BTC. I would be happier if we had further diversification in the hash power. |

I think that with each wave of bitcoin hitting new ATH we get a stronger base of Hodlers.
The reason I say this is because each time we have held we have been rewarded with a much higher ATH.
This just convinces us (the Hodlers) that we have no reason to panic when the price drops since BTC has proven to us time and again that long term, price will be higher.
The more this happens the less likely people will sell.
The less likely people are to sell then the higher the price.
The only reason I can see to sell any BTC is if your running out of time (getting old). Since, at some point, you will want to enjoy the fruits of your patience.

Trollgoossens,
In 2017 the founder of Morgan Creek Capital Investment nailed it: "Only gamble was whether #Bitcoin would make if from $0 to $100, that was the real miracle. Going from $4,000 to $40,000 or $400,000 is easy". https://twitter.com/RedditBTC/status/1125026735727226881One for you, RL-loser r0ach .... -Why don't you ignore me, would be much more easy for you. Better still Mic, Why don't you ignore him/it? Most of us have. Engaging him/it only encourages him/it. I am not sure why he wastes so much time here considering so many have him on ignore anyway. He probably only gets through to a handful of peeps. Why not make it one less? |

Maybe he lost the keys...  Maybe his hands are too cold.. you know That's a very interesting buy. $75000 in 2011 would've been a seriously ballsy move. It's very different from someone who mined it on a laptop for nothing other than some extra power. I think if you're that committed and convinced there's no way you wouldn't be backed up until your arse fell off. You wouldn't put that many dollars in and then lose your one scrap of toilet paper with the private key on. Unless it’s the early address of an exchange or institution or something. You’d be a total tard to spend that much money on something & not look after it. How come there a still small amounts being added to the address still? Is it some mining revenue or something else? |

easiest overclocks (well aside from the bios stuff from the pentium II on up) was the jumpers on the 486. just pick 25,33 or 40, then select the multiplier via jumper and see if it booted. cant remember if my 386 could do that. before that there was the clock crystal replacement on the IBM AT. never tried it on mine though.
dont remember what the cpus were that you just added more L2 cache via stuffing chips in empty sockets on the mobo. 386 im guessing.
still have some of those cpus/motherboards and all the stuff needed to boot them. part of my Piles of Old Crap Collection.
Those AMD 5x86 chips could be OC'd massively on 486 boards (socket 3 IIRC) like you said set jumpers and watch a 120mhx become 160 with no issues on a stock cooler! AFA crystals, yup easy as well, pop out a 33mhz and throw in a 40 crystal on most 386 chips and you were out to the races again on stock sinks and then upgrading to a Cyrix 486 with a L2 cache bump was a great upgrade on the same 386 Mobo! I remeber using evergreen socket adapters to run 386sx chips on 286 mobo's and I think the last 8088 4.77mh upgrade was a 8mh (Damn I can't remember the name anymore). IIRC my first OC was on the P6 Celeron from 266Mhz to 333Mhz using an FSB overclock from 66Mhz. So that was a really decent OC and got an instant 33% gain. I do also recall doing something with a pencil on an Athlon but can't quite remember the details. |

I havn't looked at the stats in years and just checked and DAMN your right you guys have been decimated. Yeah they screwed the points system right up with GPU's, N00bs would catch up in a few months with a new gpu, it was a real joke. But I folded from 2000-2006 or so Anon with 6 rigs before joining a team. I've had alot of family die from cancer and thats all I could really do about it.
I remember when EVGA was bribing and I guess now there are 2 F@H coins for it?
I was just looking at the stats too, making me pretty sad seeing all the old user names, we were a thing. I know it is really about the science, but guys had tens of thousands of dollars tied up in those big AMD 4Ps and Stanford fucked them just as other opportunities to do science were coming on the scene. Then 7im started deleting people's posts and threads on the F@H forum. Some pretty serious personal farms found new places to contribute and we just never coalesced around a single project the way we had around F@H. I should dig out the T shirt and cry a little. I was also into SETI and F@H. Weird how a lot of us here were into a form of distributed computing. We are still doing it but now getting paid for our efforts! |

Out of smerits so I owe U. Made me chuckle. Nice edit :-) What's also funny is if there is someone working their way through that thread and comes across your post. They will be like WTF? |

^^ Damn LFC you made me just look back to my first POST in here, that looks ugly  Decided to dig mine up https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=199141.msg4335360#msg4335360Looks like I was mining shitcoins to start my BTC stash building. I ended up with 4 rigs in the end and sold them off about 6 months later having made a small but tidy stash and recouped about half of my investment in the hardware but had already amassed enough BTC to easily make up the difference. The rest is history. Gonna start digging around on some early posts of other WO hodlers for a laugh. |

There were a couple of bearish posts only a few pages back (within the last 24hrs) which made me a little nervous. This little pump has just convinced me that HODLing will always trump trading.
If I had sold only to rebuy I probably would have now panic bought back in at a higher price.
Did I mention that I am shit at trading?
