bardzo ciekawy i interesujący artykuł, który pokazuje nam, co hashrate ma wspólnego z ceną Bitcoina

Quote
Wzrost mocy obliczeniowej często wiąże się z oczekiwaniami wobec wzrostu ceny BTC. Analitycy znaleźli dowody na to, że cykle byka z 2013 r. i 2016 r. charakteryzowały się wzrostem trudności przy wydobywaniu Bitcoina.

Pod warunkiem, że nie ma problemów z produkcją elektroniki, tak jak teraz, gdzie zaczyna brakować wszystkiego. Nie pomaga sytuacji, że tylko TSMC i Samsung są w stanie produkować nadające się do opłacalnego kopania czipy.

CSW might be smart enough to brabble some incoherent technical nonsense, but is he really intelligent enough to trick the (at that time) 2nd important developer of Bitcoin (Gavin Andresen) with a sleight like he did in London?

There is a possibility that either CSW or one of his associates were able to hack/take over Satoshi's email accounts and use the info to fool Gavin by referencing the messages the two exchanged in the past.

Not sure if CSW would write the message 'Michael, send me some coins before I hitman you.' to @Theymos if he wanted everybody to believe that Satoshi is back. More possible that CSW (or one of his associates) bought the access to Satoshis emails later.

No, that would clearly mean another change of ownership, so they could have bought it, hacked it, socially-engineered customer support or used other means to get ahold of the email account.

OTOH, wouldn't Satoshi periodically delete emails anyway if he was really privacy-conscious?

Is there a minimum amount to invest on these gambling websites? What are the platforms that are good to invest my money? What are the cons when you invested on it?
Answers will be highly appreciated.

0.01 BTC (10`000 bits) is the min. amount you can invest. The cons are a 2% dilution fee deducted from your investment upon transferring your money to the bankroll, and nowadays also very high commission rates on profits. I don't think it's worth it anymore, even more so for new investors (and that was the intended move). I don't know how it looks anymore with gambling sites other than bustabit/bustadice.
264  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: They will do anything for your money, run from them on: March 20, 2021, 03:08:30 AM
Looks like the Crypto industry is now full of scammers. What bothers me most is that they can't be regulated. I hope we all shine our eyes and not be greedy to fall for scams.

Now? It was almost always full of scammers, the moment it went mainstream there was no going back. Even if it takes 1 in 10, or sometimes 1 in 10000 for the scammer to have a positive ROI on the time spent trying to find victims to exploit, they're still going to keep doing it.

Chyba Chińczycy już przeszli samych siebie w próbach zbanowania BTC, oczywiście nic się nie zmieniło, nadal największe kopalnie Bitcoina sa właśnie w Chinach, a wszystkie kary i inne dziwne zakazy, albo nigdy nie weszły w życie, albo sa po prostu nieskuteczne.

Yellen coś przebąkiwała o BTC jakby miała chcieć z tym walczyć, miejsce na nakręcanie paniki jest.

Teraz Indie przebąkują coś o banowaniu, ja myślę, że to ciągła gra i próba wywołania paniki, żeby kupić od słabych rąk, bo brakuje BTC na giełdach, co widać po cenie, która szybuje i już jesteśmy na 60K USD za BTC.

*teraz już $58k

Mam nadzieję, że w weekend za nisko nie spadnie, bo ciężej będzie straty odbić.
266  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Bitmain Caught in ASIC Chip Maker Bind. Poaching TSMC Tawain. Poll! on: March 19, 2021, 10:44:40 PM
Bitmain headhunting TSMC engineers makes no sense. China has no advanced process foundries (under 10nm nodes) and will not for many years. It is impossible for China to produce needed EUV steppers and other critical parts it takes to produce those chips.

Considering that Bitmain and other mining chip vendors already have in-house custom layout designers as part of the 'Secret Sauce' that makes a successful miner chip perform so well vs one that uses standard layout IP libraries I just do not see what knowledge they are trying to gain.

Apparently the employees they have been poaching are meant to work on 'AI chips' (in quotes because I couldn't find what exactly is meant by those in this case):

W Indiach co chwilę od 2019 roku ktoś próbuje banować Bitcoina, i tym razem nic z tego nie wyjdzie. Z tego co rozumiem jest to zwykła gra polityczna różnych frakcji i ew. tzw. 'temat zastępczy'. Z drugiej strony patrząc na ichnią denominację z 2016 roku i to jak zostało to przeprowadzone, obawy są zrozumiane.

No i bank centralny Indii nie jest zadowolony z werdyktu Sądu Najwyższego ws. Bitcoina, więc próbują dalej.
269  Economy / Gambling / Re: bustadice – Next Generation Dice on: March 19, 2021, 07:59:03 PM
RHavar should be one of the site's co-owners so that is fine by me. Daniel, who is the one that runs it now, is also somebody that can be trusted.
I wanted to give it a go as I saw their bankroll is nice.

Both sites are owned and ran by devans exlusively.

One question popped to my mind: they talk about a special withdrawal system to enhance privacy:
Quote
We use a sophisticated coin selection algorithm tailored to bustadice when handling payments in order to offer our players and investors industry-leading privacy. Not everyone needs to know you're gambling!
Can somebody explain?

It may have changed but I'm guessing it's something similar to this (I assume bustadice uses the same coin selection algorithm because why not, or at least one slightly modified to account for a smaller user base):

I don't recommend violating anyones terms of use -- but speaking purely about bustabit privacy features:  Bustabit's uses a custom coin selection for deposits/withdrawals that makes it considerably harder for anyone to know if you're using bustaibit or not. It's not fantastic, but it's decent.

In the next release though, it's going to get pretty damn good.  Grin Our new algorithm (that has like >1 month of development time put into it, and uses a full on cutting edge constraint optimizer) will make it very hard for anyone to distinguish a bustabit address from any other. (although there's still a bit of things I need to figure out, like sending transactions over tor incase there's a spy node recording that I'm the probable origin of the transaction)

It looks kinda new, but even if its not, arent those what a welcome message must contain?

No, most of the info there is pretty obvious to anyone who is not new to the Internet, and would only serve to increase the likelihood that the new user doesn't even bother to read the whole thing if he sees how long it is. If it were new the logging and registration sections would at least mention CAPTCHAs, the Copper Membership, evil IP addresses, data retention policy, etc.
271  Other / Meta / Re: Writing a welcome message on: March 18, 2021, 12:01:34 PM
Hey, I think they've heard.

No, that's some default user readme that comes with SMF, and lacks a lot of information users should be well aware of, such as ranks, merits, the Trust systems, the proliferation of scams, forum culture, rules, etc.
272  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Announcing the FutureBit Apollo BTC - A Full Node/Mining Platform for the Home! on: March 18, 2021, 11:50:25 AM
Yea most pools offer at least a .0005 min BTC payout, but that would still take nearly a year with one hashboard. Solution to get that down to .0001 or lower is pretty simple and already in some talks to make it happen. But yes the minimum time horizon anyone should expect a payout is at least month, which obviously halves with each hashboard you add.

This could be solved if there were any pools offering payouts using LN or other L2 payment solutions.

Not to mention you cant compare the two since one needs industrial power

It's still within bounds of home-based power although summers won't be fun without A/C.
273  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: We should build a seastead on: March 18, 2021, 04:32:01 AM
Buying your freedom and not really be free at all does not sound too good from my point of view.

Everything in the real world costs money/assets, security included, one way or another.

Security of the seastead does seem concerning but in the long run, we can make this problem go away by making the seasteads a profitable economic hotspots for many countries and then we can bargain a deal that they will have some degree of privileges if they in turn protect the seastead from the possibility of attacks from pirates or other hostile forces. Small countries, don't need an army to protect itself let alone a seastead.

Gambling ships are a thing, seems like the ideal business for a seastead.
274  Economy / Gambling / Re: bustabit – The original crash game on: March 17, 2021, 06:26:26 PM
I disagree. No matter what place you invested your money, the chance of losing is always there too. There is no guarantee you will ended up profit even though you have invested in bustabit or other site. Which place you can make profit 10x from your money? I don't think there is a place like that.

As far as cryptocurrency investments go, profit from investing on busta* sites was almost guaranteed, compared with other places (e.g. buying shitcoins when they're cheap, defi, etc.), where profits can exceed 1000% (against BTC, more against USD), but the risks are also extremely high.
275  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: We should build a seastead on: March 16, 2021, 08:12:50 PM
What do you think will happen once a poor country which is used to wars (like both Egypt and Sudan are) sees that the territory they've sold has become rich and attractive and is rolling in money? First, there will be harassment, with the borders, with the shipping, with the trade then more and more demands and then what are you going to do if they decide to simply invade peacefully with 1 million civilians?
No, trying to create a nation near or inside an area that was part of a dispute that ended with war is suicide.

I find the idea of creating an independent community feasible and interesting, that of a nation, not so much.
There is no place for utopian dreams of independence in this world, at least not yet.

If it actually grew to be rich and attractive... that's a 'problem' that it would be nice to have. Don't put the cart before the horse. At that stage some sort diplomatic manoeuvring and/or buying protection or starting a professional army would probably become necessary.

Może proto-UBI w USA coś pomoże i rosnące liczby osób zaszczepionych (w dalszym okresie), ale równie dobrze może to tylko opóźniać spadki cen.

Co do altcoinów to patrzę jak inne zachowują się teraz (np. HBAR), ale w razie wyraźnego odwrotu trendu wszystko lub prawie wszystko i tak poleci.
277  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2021-03-12]French government to auction 611 BTC seized in GateHub hacking on: March 15, 2021, 10:02:52 PM
It's a completely unrelated auction.

I guess the accused may have already confessed to their role in the crime and may have forfeited the coin holdings. I don't agree with the suggestion that the assets should be held until the verdict is out. Bitcoin is a very volatile asset, and it can go up or down by as much as 10% in a single day. On the other hand, getting a verdict may take more than a year. So if the guilt is clear, then they should go ahead with the auction in my opinion.

They haven't forfeited their right to the coins, at least that much is clear from the original article, but the volatility is likely to be the reason why the coins are being auctioned right now (and it was also mentioned).

I do not think that there is a difference between paid or free VPN, other than that the free is have a percentage of the spam spam/scam more than the paid one. many of paid VPN give you a sheared IP addresses and it is easy to be flagged as VPN, so unless your paid IP address is dedicated, there is no fundamental difference.

A dedicated IP address isn't enough, and merely sharing an IP address with another user doesn't necessarily mean either of them are behind a VPN, they can merely be behind some NAT/CG-NAT. There are VPNs making use of residential IP addresses but there are ways of detecting those, too, e.g. https://medium.com/@ValdikSS/detecting-vpn-and-its-configuration-and-proxy-users-on-the-server-side-1bcc59742413
