It not that weird if you remember who he was before the POTUS thing. A flailing real estate developer with a number of failed or outright scammy branding experiments, from Trump steaks to Trump university. So the NFT shit is right on brand. Assuming they sold 45k of those, and he rakes 50% in licensing fees, he got $2 million for a couple of tweets. Plus future royalties. This might end up as one of his more successful scams.

I bet he blows off the meet and greet winners. 


yup. and the winners have to provide their own travel, meal and hotel accommodations to get there and back.

Interestingly enough, in the presentation video featuring Donald Trump himself, he actually uses the term "NFT" (so assume he was reading something specifically written for him to read during that video).

that whole video with him reminds me of those infomercials youd find on cable tv at 4 AM.

I can see some die-hard MAGA supporters buying these Nfts.

supposedly it sold out in 12 hours.

scalpers? bots? maybe trump bought them all himself?

There are 3 myths that I know about Bitcoin. The first is the person who trashed this hard drive. the second one is the person who paid 1000 Btc for 1 Pizza and the other is the person who received 200 Btc for a job he did on time but lost his password. If I am not mistaken, this person had a certain right to try his password, the last 2 rights were left, if those statements were negative, a large amount would be garbage.


not myths

The further we pull away from $15,000 the more likely it is that the bottom is in (obvious, right).
Market is looking good at the moment but I’m still only 50/50 that we’ve seen the bottom. I’ll be convinced if we hit mid 2023 over $25,000. Binance is making me nervous at the moment, apart from that though, I don’t see any Black Swan events?

What do you think WO?

i dunno bout the bottom yet. there are still huge flaming pieces of FTX wreckage raining down all over the place, dragging in Very Important People from here and there to get their genitalia handed to them.

its actually kinda amazing to me that corn is going up.

Seriously, this stuff is free only because people who are using it are feeding it information, training it and they are making it look good better than it actually is.
Some people even suggested that all the g-captchas we are clicking all the time is also doing that, teaching some dumb program to repeat stuff based on our actions.

There are more chances of hell freezing over in comparison to forum getting a takedown notice for advertising chip mixer platform.

well according to Dantes Inferno, the 9th circle of hell is a lake of frozen ice.

just sayin Grin

Only in a lawful, justice world would a claptrap imbecile criminal moron run one of the biggest American crypto exchanges and a criminal coke from a whore's ass sniffing, useless brother's wife fucking moron's father be president of the USA.

wait.. is this another example of an AI writing?

if so its getting pretty close to seeming like real WOer

454  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: December 03, 2022, 12:01:23 AM
Asked the AI to write me a post for bitcointalk.org forum
This was the result:

...

lol that is too grammatically correct, has proper capitalization and punctuation, presents clear reasoned writing.

in short no way this could pass as a WOer. it would be noticed before the 1st sentence was even fully read. so, no danger to us degens at the WO being replaced anytime soon it seems.

and wtf was with "other cryptocurrencies" line.. hard fail right there i mean seriously

edit: also pretty sure JJG could out-type an AI. he might need a water cooled keyboard though, that is if he doesnt already use one.

too lazy to find em now but there are many, many threads with pics of burnt to a crisp mining farms and equipment here at bct. just start looking. big fires, little fires, and a ton of melted (but not actually on fire.. at that moment) plugs and power cables.

But how many of those were due to heat vs bad electric setups. Too small a power cable, cheap PDUs or power strips, generic low cost power supplies that were a fire hazard running a PC at a few hundred watts never mind a 1200 watt miner.

I'm sure there are some, but most I would think have nothing to do with miner heat.


ah i misunderstood

i do remember some KNC stuff (neptune?) was pretty bad in the day though and had a (deserved?) reputation of going up in smoke even with proper wiring etc used.. basically crap engineering and design. board parts were underrated or something?

I'm basically trying to figure out how to add redundant cooling and redundant (?smoke triggered?) power-shutdown to some small miners (200 Watt each).



The cooling of a miner like an S9 is already redundant because it uses two fans instead of one. I did some testing and in many cases the second Fan is not really possible but it is good for redundancy. Maybe you can set up your miners in an area where there is not so much flammable material, since only cutting the power may not be enough if the miner is already smoking/burning.
In any case I never read about a burning miner before on this forum or anywhere else, so you should also not be to paranoid.

Or if you are mining solo with USB stick miner you can have a chance to win a block with 6.25btc plus mining fees.

I honestly don't think anyone would ever succeed...

one with 3TH of asic usb did it, the odds are slim, I don't know if it's worth doing.

its called "lottery mining" and its been done.

considering how little power is used by stick/pod miners why not?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5237323.0

and heres a list of blocks found at that pool:

on topic: back in the day (2011ish) 1 btc/day (or more) on a gpu rig was pretty easy iirc. source: was there

Taking down FTX hurt but now that we know how dodgy it was, you can't really argue it's a bad thing.

Going after Coinbase is another story. I don't know in what state it is, but I assume it's run more professionally than FTX. Also, if we're looking at dodgy things, what about BNB coin ?

coinbase and gemini are both based in new york state, and they have pretty stringent regulations. so they *may* be ok.

also, cant see coinbase going down simply because theyre in bed with all the 3 letter guys. 
459  Economy / Speculation / Re: Gemini Earn Program Pausing Withdrawals on: November 22, 2022, 07:38:39 PM
Yes I remember a few years ago someone I know personally asked me about this. I read the terms and found it odd how it says basically "Your funds won't be on Gemini and can't be insured against loss since they will be with a 3rd party". Then it said something like "We vouched for this 3rd party and trust them".

And basically told them, its NOT RISK FREE and just avoid. Back then the yield was crazy high so it was attractive since banks were paying like 0% interest. I remember you could of done a "cash and carry" trade with the bitcoin/ethereum front months and made like 3-5% PER MONTH!

Yields were crazy high back then and I am not surprised many invested their money this way.

Ya, it was crazy that when you sign up they basically tell you that they can take all your crypto and there's nothing you can do about it.  I'll admit I still dove in with some crypto and cash to enjoy that return.  I did however remove all my funds at the first sign of trouble and managed to beat this announcement and get all of my funds off the earn platform.  I thought I had lucked out and my paranoia about the crypto market had paid off once again (I learned my lesson after mtgox).  However, now I have received an email from Gemini that they have closed my account and disabled trading...  I'm not sure if I'm caught up in something or if it's against Gemini's rules to not have your money stolen using their platform, but hopefully I'm able to resolve it or else it's back to Kraken or Coinbase for trading and I had really preferred Gemini. 

i too had stuff in gemini earn and like you i pulled all the earn stuff out when luna/terra started going down a while back. more recently i also xfered most of my coin out of gemini to my hardware wallet.

ngl this contagion shit sucks pond water.

edit: just checked gemini it allowed me to xfer btc to my whitelisted addy. so its ok for me.

Here in France it's recommended to keep salary slips for life. Can be useful when claiming your pension if someone screwed up along the way.

Now it's easier with cloud document vaults (well, I still download everything and keep on my own server, same for bank docs). Your bank should have everything but will ask for a fee to dig it up.

on a related note, "proof of funds" will be even worse as time goes on..

ive signed messages from my early mining payout addys as well as screenshots of the pool accounts that prove where my corn came from. even have the receipts for the GPUs etc that i bought over the years.  printed it all out.. never know when it may become handy.

also satoshi mentioned (pretty sure) that keeping control of all your used addys is a Good Thing, and i still control all (well most all) my addys from 2011 on.
