Dur dur l'aphasie, il est pourtant pas si vieux non ?

Les pubs géantes pour boisson énergisantes en Europe de l'Est vont en prendre un sacré coup :

Ah bon ? Sur mobile uniquement j'imagine ?

Si jamais, tu peux faire le forceur auprès du support client, et exiger de connaitre la balance sans KYC.

De même pour le retrait, tu peux demander un retrait crypto sans KYC, ils acceptent, mais faut passer par le support pour ça.

J'espère pour toi que tu avais 5 BTC qui dormaient là et que tu as oublié ! 

Hahaha, je me suis posé exactement la même question quand on me l'a donné.. 

Ok oui dans ce sens là je comprends tout à fait.


Je vous avoue que je considère LN comme les pièces en or avec laquelle tu t'achètes des choses de la vie de tous les jours, et BTC on-chain comme une valeur de stockage, genre lingot d'or. J'utilise pas trop LN car je trouve ça contre-intuitif mais je sais que je suis déjà un vieux con.

C'est pour ça que perso je ne m'étonne pas des fees et des 10 minutes de confirmation, je suis toujours surpris que ça dérange des utilisateurs, ma conception de BTC n'est pas de faire des transactions régulières pour des petits montants. Mais oui en effet, il semblerait que faire bouger les devs soit quelque chose de complexe et lourd.

C'est aussi peut être en partie ça qui rend les gens confiants dans BTC ? Sa capacité à évoluer lentement et surement ? Est-ce que grâce à ça on ne s'évite pas des erreurs impulsives comme il y a pu en avoir sur d'autres blockchain ?

Yes, it was a foregone conclusion, to quote NotFuzzyWarm's first response:


Certainly companies investing tens of millions of dollars in this area have not missed out on a potential 30-40% process improvement.

But the important thing is that you have been able to form your own opinion through experience, that you have tried, and tested. This is very good for you and always interesting to follow.

I enjoyed reading your topic, and wish you all the best for the future @Sha256explorer

Bonjour les amis

J’ai reçu un ticket de 150 EUR transcash

Grosse flemme de commander une carte transcash, j'utilise jamais leur service.

Quelqu’un serait intéressé pour l’acheter pour 120 EUR en BTC ?

Si la mempool BTC ne se calme pas, n'importe quelle autre crypto est acceptable de mon côté

Yes, some pools even accept to mine totally empty blocks.
The biggest pools all do this : Binance Pool, Foundry, Antpool etc...

You can search on the forum, kano has explained many times why this is harmful for the BTC blockchain and why it is stupid to accept to validate empty blocks.

Some pools refuse to do this, including kano's pool. Unfortunately, profits before the interest of the blockchain itself takes precedence for the biggest pools.

For me there is no connection between AI and mining.

The future of mining is simply more and more efficient chips, and therefore a higher global hashrate, and of course a continuously increasing mining difficulty.

This will have the impact of leaving out those who pay expensive electricity, and limiting the possibility (unfortunately) for small miners to try their luck at solo mining a block of BTC.

I don't see how or under what circumstances artificial intelligence can or will have a direct impact on SHA256 mining

Autant pour Ordinals je comprends à 100% ce que tu veux dire, mais en quoi LN dilue Bitcoin ?

Op you should be ashamed of yourself for posting such unclear and false information on the forum.

As Cryptsafe said, your username tells us that you probably have a personal/professional interest in wanting to generate FUD.

I would never click on the link you posted, why would anyone? Your post is wrong, and is there to create FUD.
SOL and XMR are not an alternative to BTC in any way. Why do you come and talk about something you don't know anything about?
Since when XMR is a storage of value asset? What guarantee do you have that CEX will eventually accept to exchange it in the very long term given the nature of XMR himself?
Solana speaks for itself, wanting to "replace" BTC with Solana is for me an insult to BTC, no need to argue.

If you had any real knowledge of what BTC and its network is, you wouldn't go into these defeatist speeches, look at what happened in 2017 for example.
Do you think anyone is really going to trade their BTC for XMR/Solana here? Plus with 1 year to go before halving, you'd have to be an idiot to do that.

Yes, it's great news to finally have a credible event in the region!

I will be present for the whole week in Beograd, I look forward to seeing you all there.
I'm looking forward to hearing the views and discussing the recent hack on ETH with Michelle Wu.

I just think it's a shame to sell tickets for ETH Belgrade at that price, 250 euros is a fortune in Serbia and neighbouring countries, and it's clearly a shame to sell them at that price considering the speakers expected.

 Yes, afterwards it will in theory be possible to buy back BTC sold after taxation, or from abroad if you have an associate which can do the process for you.

But it is sure that this would represent a small loss due to CEX fees and transactions fees.

For the moment this law is not yet in force, and it will not be the first time that a law announced will not be applied or really implemented. Let's wait and see.

Que aux États-Unis non ?


Je suis pas sur car je prends l'info de cet article : https://www.financemagnates.com/cryptocurrency/bittrex-goes-bankrupt-with-us-treasury-its-largest-creditor/

En tout cas, la SEC aura bien fait son boulot cette année, c'est impressionnant.

I don't like Nicehash and the team behind it very much.

They do a great job for me, they pay their miners well (overall), and allow those who want to rent hashrate to be able to do so and try their luck solo with abilities they don't physically own. Good point for them.

However, they are currently losing their way in the race for profits.
Their "EasyMining" package is a scam, they charge people for hashrate rental packages at exorbitant prices, you see the auctions for these packages and the prices per Eh/s are sometimes  up to 4 BTC. Which is ridiculous when the average price is (last time I did the comparison but it fluctuates all the time) 2.97 BTC per Eh/s at this exact time.

The worst thing is that when you buy one of their packs, they show you a graph with your luck, even with 5 minutes of mining with only a few Ph/s, you will still have a bestshare of x T according to them. ALWAYS. They cheat and lie, generate potentially addictive behaviour by faking the information given to beginners, and this is worthy of contempt.

Also, they stole their Team Mining concept from Willi, and are getting fat with fees on it. (without asking him anything)

So on the one hand they pay their miners correctly. On the other hand, this is possible because they are screwing their customers who rent hashrate.
I find this borderline, and I personally don't want to support this abuse, even for 6% more from time to time.

This is really cool and very useful, thanks for your work and dedication dear bitmover!

I just spent some time on your site, I really like the new design.
I like the fact that the giveaway manager is listed at the top, as you know I use it regularly and before I always had to find your post with the link to find it (I never thought to bookmark it). It's really cool!

The "Local price to image" page is great!

Yeah there is something to be done in that sense, as you say OP.

If you, for example, bought ASICs in 2018-2019, ran them and they were already profitable, you would have made a nice profit in 2020-2021 by reselling them.
As their price is more or less correlated to the price of BTC, and therefore to the hype generated on mining, there is a chance to make a profit.

However, if you have large quantities of ASICs, if they run stably, your infrastructure is done and clean, and your electricity is cheap, it's a bit of a gamble.
Why not just let them run? They're already profitable.
Why would you want to go through the supply difficulties, the waiting time, the import costs and difficulties again?

Especially since you have no real guarantee that the price of ASICs will drop again and that you will be able to buy them cheaper. Even if bear markets always come after bulls, there is no guarantee that you will be able to find good ASICs at good prices after you sell yours.

Personally I keep everything, as long as my electricity rate allows it, I even leave old S9s running. At worst, I let them run solo like a lottery ticket, but I can't see myself bothering to ship and manage the resale of dozens of ASICs, with all the potential problems that could cause, when they are already profitable.

Yeah there is nothing to complain about here in terms of price per kw/h and regarding of the taxes.

I have ASICs running in several countries where electricity is very cheap, including Kazakhstan.

In the Karaganda region, we pay 0,0089 usd per kw/h excluding taxes, so all taxes included we are at about 0,011 usd per kw/h.
Stop whining, this is an extremely attractive price and I haven't met anyone who finds it unfair or too expensive.

What my associate fears is the addition of a tax on mining profits. He is afraid that Russia's appetite for crypto mining in these times will force the Kazakh government to accept the introduction of a tax which would cause a fuite of hashrate to Russia (which has a huge influence on the country politically). But this is not done, and is only speculation.

What do you mean by illegal?

Bitcoin is open source, decentralised and clearly freewheeling as long as the basic operating protocol is not impacted. With Bitcoin, if something is doable, it can be done without any authority intervening. After that we all agree that what is feasible and can be done, is not necessarily good and should not necessarily be done...

I hate this Ordinals crap and the consequence it has on transaction costs and the congestion of the mempool.

But some people do have an interest in it: imagine you own a BTC mining pool, which does not pay transaction fees to its miners.
Imagine the profit you make when the fees are 1.5 BTC or more per block?!

I imagine that some industry players will fight to preserve this Ordinals crap at all costs.

The buyer pays huge fees and could be ok with it: if you buy a car / house in BTC it's ok, it won't be too much of a trauma.
If you're buying bread and milk, it's clearly a bit more of a pain in the ass. For these small transactions, people turn (or should turn) to LN. Or basically, the seller just put on-hold BTC as payment method if he doesn't accept payments through Lightning Network.

I think that in the long run, given the mess that is the mempool on an increasingly regular basis, Lightning Network is becoming more and more necessary and justified in my opinion.

After that, if it's like every time, the 1.5 BTC fee blocks shouldn't be around for too long, hopefully it will drop again soon.
