In my opinion, politics is the development path of the country. developed countries under socialist or capitalist regimes. Cooperation with the nations of the economic bloc is the political path of each country. My country follows the socialist regime.
Socialism is a failed ideology, just like communism. Please give me the name of a single socialist country, which is successful. There aren't many. Capitalism is the way to move forward and it gives equal opportunity for everyone. The biggest problem with socialism is it's a lot like cancer. You can still live with a little bit of cancer but when it grows things get worse and worse and the cancer grows faster. |

34yo man-child living at home with parents will always get offended if you insist the parents must put themselves first ... Falkvinge is in full on shilling mode ... who's pulling his strings? ... what's that on the bottom of his snazzy monitor "Rick Falkvinge .... Swarm Intelligence Evangelist" ... has he joined some kind of cult? who's looking out for the kids there? It's all has a really weird vibe to it. As to the content, the bit I watched gave me the feeling he only has superficial understanding of LN and was flailing around (with the hands waving thing especially evident) then I clicked on sidebar for the lulz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atvJwwec_2A&pbjreload=10and this shameless girl had the same level of flailing around describing bitcoin/crypto as poor old rick did figuring on FUDDing lightning .... not to say LN will be everyone's cup of tea and will fix everything but it looks like a promising idea for moving volumes and opening up some options. |

Nice work. dooglus : is there an easy way to extract a histogram of how many days has been spent in each thousand $ range? (1-thousands can be ignored if it makes it complicated as it spans across 2013-present era).
https://bitcoincharts.com/ seems to be down at the moment, so I can't get at the required data. Edit: it's back now. I see 2330 daily average prices. 313 are single digits
303 are 10-100
1330 are 100-1000
111 are 1000-2000
75 are 2000-3000
23 are 3000-4000
45 are 4000-5000
17 are 5000-6000
11 are 6000-7000
14 are 7000-8000
15 are 8000-9000
8 are 9000-10k
10 are 10k-11k
13 are 11k-12k
2 are 12k-13k
10 are 13k-14k
12 are 14k-15k
5 are 15k-16k
8 are 16k-17k
2 are 17k-18k
2 are 18k-19k
1 is 19k-20k I wonder if it would be more interesting to use a log scale of some kind. The thousand dollar ranges become less significant as the price rises - so we'd count the days spent in each of these ranges: Precisely. I was wondering if we could get some confirmation of Benford's law in the daily average USD/BTC prices in the thousands and make a prediction how many days we would spend below 10k before that is satisfied.  |

cohabitation is where the legal trap gets sprung these days, a marriage contract is not even necessary when de facto relationship has become an implied contract to provide income and share assets.
Males have gradually been relegated to sperm donor status by the perverse incentive structures imposed by court precedents, that is clear ... although I notice they are close to being able to grow ovaries in the lab, last week someone reported they had grown human eggs from stem cells, so the female monopoly on eggs maybe busted and then all bets are off for parentage questions in our esteemed courts.

good lord
are we watching Ethereum die?
no, but the github furore over EIP 867 and developers parting ways is basically the opening salvo in what will most definitely be a civil war over the soul of the Ethereum project. The honeymoon is over for ethereum, it is the analogue to the moment when Andresen took on the rest of core bitcoin devs in Montreal in a breakout session ... and we got the "hardfork now" aka big-block civil war which ended with Bcash abomination fork and two coins. It was kind of inevitable with the way Buterin has been playing fast and loose with the conflicted logic ... 'code is law' was his big selling pitch to the noobs and then he was pushing for state rollbacks and forks (ethereum classic) when outcomes don't suit him ... reality eventually meets individual destiny for those of the deluded socialist persuasion. "Everybody's got their own shit." ~ Why socialism doesn't work. |

It would be really nice if F2Pool decided to help us clean up this garbage in the mempool. This hard line they have set up of only verifying tx at 5sats/byte and above really irks me.  ... it's not really that surprising, for a long time now the default in the bitcoin core (satoshi) client has been to treat TX with fees 5 sat/byte and lower as spam. In fact, I think the default setting is to not even relay TX with 5 sat/byte or less fee. Those defaults may need revisiting now that value is at ~$10k per btc (or ~10cents for a regular 225 byte TX). It's been a shortcoming for a long time that 'spam' TX need defining by default/hardcode selections in the client network (bitcoin network has no way to know external valuations trustlessly) but a functioning fee market is showing a way to removing those completely now ... think of them as 'training wheels'. |

... next phase would be an equivalent to when CISCO boomed by providing hardware boxes that perform bitcoin and lightning routing plug 'n play for secure network backbone roll-out and then after that we get into (ISPs) phase ... i.e. Lightning Network Providers (LNPs) will be the new AT&T, Verizon, etc
...if you subscribe to the analogy. Coinbase is becoming the joke toy internet dinosaur AOL turned out to be ... amazons and googles have yet to be sighted, imho. keep your powder dry.

I've been meaning to ask, but what is the product series in your avatar?
The only things that come to mind are sine and cosine, but those are sums and have 2pi in their summands. So I thought it could be something along the lines of a log of a negative exponential due to the -1 factor that doesn't appear in the standard expression for the exponential series and the product could've been a result of a logarithm.
it is the series for a function I discovered that has some useful and interesting properties. PM me if you want to know any more. |

In terms of awareness it is probably 1998 but adoption wise it is probably around 1995 with just the university kids on the Net. Cool colleagues have just started trading crypto but the rest is still ignoring it. Some probably will the rest of their lives  I'm not even sure if the mainstream will get into crypto the same way as us. I could see them using it as a replacement for Paypal and credit cards in the "far" future or in some more sophisticated form of cryptokittes. But the general population isn't into risks, especially if they aren't very obvious and layed out for you as if you were braindead (like modern games). And crypto is inherently fuzzy and unpredictable without an understanding of real world Economics or at least Statistics. Globally, 1% of the population controls 80% of the wealth, in USA 0.1% of the population controls the same amount of wealth as the bottom 90%. Bitcoin is money. Although money is used by the mainstream, bitcoin wealth is unlikely to be adopted by the mainstream, and does not need to be to compete in the market of existing currencies. Wealth inequality means if current wealth holders adopt bitcoin it has succeeded, it clearly does not need to "go mainstream' in the way that SV is thinking of previous adoptions of new technologies and networks. |

With the arrival of the information age I think we have produced way more smart people than ever before. The internet has become such a powerful tool to educate yourself, anybody with an cellphone has a tremendous amount of knowledge in their pocket. Too bad many people choose to not use it to it's fullest potential.
you might be confusing 'smartness' with something else entirely ... idiots educated beyond the level of their intellectual capacity is not a new phenomena .... probably the internet has just created a swag more of these dangerous fools .... case in point take jbreher with his dunning-kruger tendencies now leading him to write in overly-eloquent verbiage to convey trivial, and usually erroneous, meandering thoughts; then hops on his high-horse about a computer science and networking design matter that is clearly well-outside his grasp, and follows up to defend his bruised ego by championing a cause that is clearly to his economic detriment ... that fact alone encapsulates educated beyond their intelligence. |

I ain't 'playing victim'. There is a wide gulf from permissionless innovation that you don't happen to care for, and outright lying in order to besmirch character.
I understood the first sentence, but I couldn't make sense of the second. Care to explain? Certainly. MoA stated that I engaged in spamming in order to cripple Bitcoin Segwit. Of course, I have done nothing of the sort. As might be deduced from the fact that MoA was unable to provide a single shred of evidence for such an accusation. Ergo, MoA was lying. Likely in order to besmirch my character. how about this ... just piss off you duplicitous tosser? This is no longer 'your' bitcoin after you have now pitched your tent at the Bcash shit-show circus along with Peter_R, the other daft thinkers and outright sociopath control freaks ... why do you really keep slinking back around here, to preach to us the error of segwit ways and straying from the One True Vision of Satoshi?? it's really kind of stalky and a bit creepy. "besmirch your character"  it's an anonymous internet forum you plonker, who cares about your non-existent character? .... and after all that I didn't say YOU specifically engaged in spamming just that you were from the cohort of Bcash idiots that were cheering on, encouraging and engaging in a myriad of despicable attacks on bitcoin, including spamming, to pump their shitcoin Bcash. The amount of half-truths, lies, misinformation-spreading, slander and personal attacks against people in real life the deluded 'hard-fork now!' cultists have engaged in is disgusting, maybe heal thyself physician? Or are you just projecting the worst traits of your Bcash partners elsewhere to ease your conscience? |
