But somehow both miss the 12% drop that was supposed to have happened Wednesday (the 5th).  Yeah you're right, we've been steadily doing 145-146 blocks per day for the last week. I'm quite sure some of them have managed to get well under those rates even in Kazakhstan
I wouldn't be surprised if some Kazakh miners (particularly the "grey" ones) practice the ancient Soviet art of bypassing the meter. Edit - here is where the "12% drop" info originated: https://twitter.com/lawmaster/status/1478764142957846531Also https://btc.com/btc/insights-pools So it looks like some large pools were getting less hashrate. Let's give it another day or two and see if there is a real dip in the number of blocks mined. |

i dont have such thing to keep as collateral but i can talk through any social site or anything to ensure you that i will refund as soon as i get money from rent at 2nd feb.
That means nothing, particularly coming from what looks like a degenerate gambler who can't wait to gamble away their rent income. Seek help. |

Edit: see stompix's post below, the 12% drop might be questionable.https://www.newsweek.com/bitcoin-price-down-federal-reserve-interest-rates-kazakhstan-bitcoin-mining-1666203Part of the article is about the price drop due to fed minutes but that's already been discussed all over the Speculation board etc. The second part of the article seems more interesting: Meanwhile, Bitcoin mining—the process by which new Bitcoins are created—has been affected this week by a large internet shutdown in the central Asian country of Kazakhstan.
The network blackout came amid political turmoil and protests. For Bitcoin, this meant that one of the world's biggest mining communities took a hit.
It is difficult to know exactly how much of all the world's Bitcoins are mined in Kazakhstan, Fortune reported, but Larry Cermak, a researcher at cryptocurrency news site The Block, tweeted on Wednesday that there was a 12 percent drop in Bitcoin's "hash rate," which is a measure of how many miners are involved in the Bitcoin network at a given time. This comes after China banned Bitcoin mining last year and some of that hash power moved to the neighboring Kazakhstan but it wasn't a particularly smooth process. Quote from another article about a month ago: In October, Kazakhstan faced a shortfall of electricity after the country’s largest power station had to shut two units for maintenance with a combined capacity of 1,000 megawatts, roughly 5% of the country’s power supply. At the same time, electricity demand was surging. In the first nine months of the year, the country experienced additional power use during peak hours equivalent to the Almaty region, the most populous part of the country. Much of that came from the miners.
There are about 50 registered cryptocurrency mining data centers; as of October, they were consuming almost 700 megawatts of power. There are also unregistered operations, known as gray miners, that needed an additional 250 megawatts, the Energy Ministry said.
Electric grids require a precise balance between demand and supply. With so much generation unavailable, Kazakhstan began to target the miners to prevent the power grid from suffering blackouts.
Kazakhstan's energy ministry considered issuing an order to restrict power consumption by new cryptocurrency miners, but after public discussion in October dropped the plan. It amended existing legislation instead, allowing grid operator Kegoc to limit or reduce power supply to digital miners in the event of a power deficit and to avoid emergency situations.
Two months ago: The Kazakh government plans to crack down first on unregistered "grey" miners who it estimates might be consuming twice as much power as the "white" or officially registered ones.
"I think we will have the directive (limiting power to unregistered miners) issued before the end of this year, because this issue cannot be delayed any longer," Deputy Energy Minister Murat Zhurebekov said this month.
He did not explain how authorities planned to locate "grey" miners, whose farms are often hidden in basements or abandoned factories. But sources say their heat signatures could be detected by satellites.

The ball is in your court.
It's not. I can't make you a merit source, only theymos can. |

|

Are you prepared in 2022 to wipe the slate clean and start again?
I want no part of your riddles. My suggestion was for you to become part of a solution instead of blaming others for your perceived merit issues. Not that there is any actual issue. No one has ever produced any kind of damning list of good valuable posters being deprived of merits because there are circles or whatever. |

I think red tag here is uncalled for. Expressing an opinion (no matter how wrong or "FUD" it may seem to someone else) shouldn't make a user "high risk".
Frankly (some minor pun intended) I would even hesitate to call franky1 a troll, he doesn't appear to be winding people up on purpose or at least that's not his primary purpose, it just happens as a result of his very headstrong opinions.
Having said that, if he breaks the rules - report him by all means, but that's unlikely to result in a ban. He's not plagiarising or evading a ban or moving a thread somewhere. The real solution here would be to put him on ignore, or if you care enough - create a solid rebuttal thread with all the LN stuff etc and respond with a link to that thread when he derails a discussion, thus negating his potential negative impact on newbies etc.

and list goes on
Add a link to where you copied the list from before you get banned for plagiarism, you blithering idiot. Also none of it is about COVID. If "give us cheap gas" protests become "give us freedom" protests, more power to them, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Most post-Soviet countries don't do freedom, even some that tried it are now backpedaling (Hungary/Poland/etc). |

Kazakhstan Government resigns, people regained power they had enough of the covid scamdemic,
Kazakhstan's "people" are demanding the government to reduce gas prices. Nothing to do with COVID and also quite opposite to gaining power - they want to give the already quite authoritarian government more control. |

Lead by example. Apply for a merit source position. theymos has given those out to scammers and shitcoiners and other dross so your chances are good. |

(cue the DT Trolls who are about to say "if your posts had merit..." all the while distrusting me...)
Not one... If you want to complain about a "Merit circle", you should find a circle that Merits shitposts.
You're lucky LoyceV has the skin of a hippo:  Although I doubt that your cringy begging here is going to earn you many other "merit fans". |

this requires only one not-totally-spineless DT1 member to exclude
I was said many times to be too negative, but excluding only one member may not be enough. I mean that the gang has more than one DT1, hence retaliation is possible. Ideally every single one of those shitheads should be excluded but that's not really possible, is it? One step at a time. If someone is choosing to not do the right thing for fear of retaliation (with words on an internet forum, mind you) then they shouldn't really be in DT1, but that's a whole other story. If my memory strikes correct then he was a merit source but later it was revoked. Don't count on me, I could be mixing him with someone else too.
No, he almost certainly is still a merit source:  |

But then when I checked the user's profile nothing else surprised me. Archived profile. I do not expect more from a 1XBit promoter. Turns out this user was calling 1xBit a scam not too long ago: Forget it guys, you will not get your winnings.
You should consider yourself to be lucky if you receive your deposit back.
1xbit has 2 rules
1. If you lose your money with betting, then there are no problems. No terms are violated
2. If you start winning money, your account will be closed because terms are suddenly violated and your bets will be voided. If you are lucky, they refund your deposit.
Most probably there is no any. the only problem is that a customer is winning some bets, and that is the moment when 1xbit call the shots and block the account.
So far nobody is able to detect which company is running this scam site. He should be really lucky if 1xbit pays him his deposit back.
Kinda fits the pattern, I remember in the Yobit debacle many Turkish members had zero concern about the scam they were promoting. |

Take the fucking bus, how hard can it be. It's not like with all the toll cameras and speed traps you aren't already followed 24/7 wherever you drive.
Or ride a bike, even better.
Seriously, everyone wants a 2-ton personal fortress on wheels, doesn't want to care about maintenance or any of that shit, doesn't want to drive under the speed limit or follow any other rules they deem unnecessary, doesn't even want to pay for the car (leasing and whatnot). But yeah let's bitch and moan about stuff manufacturers put into the vehicles you don't even own, for the purpose of dealing with the idiots that you are.
This is like the whole iPhone/Android BS, where people bitching about privacy and whatnot still buy the latest $2000 spyware-ridden gadget.

Can you suggest any member with those qualities?
It's a rear combination for someone to be not-spineless, have thick skin and brain power to do the right thing and press the kill switch.
I think the idea is that superheroes shall emerge on their own instead of being nominated. I did try to shame them into acting but alas. Should I promise ice cream if they do the right thing? Works with children and dentists, seems like a similar situation here. |

Strength must be -1 for someone to drop off DT1, and the effect is immediate, not next week. IOTW this requires only one not-totally-spineless DT1 member to exclude Vispilio. Vispilio is backed by an army of.. questionable accounts, many of them having negative trust. And some of the accounts from that "circle" seem to become DT now ant then.
So I don't really think that he will care to do anything. Of course, I'd be happy to be proved I was wrong.
Let's not sugarcoat it. Vispilio (and many others like him) is in DT1 only because of the incestuous back-scratching among Turkish members of this forum, and the rest of DT1 happily ignoring it. |

You'd think 3 years is enough time to read the rules but apparently not. You've been evading your ban and you're multiposting. I hope admins don't waste their time on your "appeal". |

I think that's bullshit, the whole "we care about him but it's his fault" spiel. They knew who he was when they hired him. They enabled his antics. I mean come on, the vaccination card nonsense - he should have been canned right there. |

There is a much easier solution to all this. Forget what anyone told you about what God wants or doesn't want you to do. It's all utter bullshit.
Also "men" have figured out long time ago how to take matters into their own hands when sex is not available.
