the biggest issue for me is how to report hitting a solo block.  I would need to report the receipt of it from the pool running it. Say ck solopool. or worse if I self mine a solo block I would have zero idea how to report it.

I can certainly justify my decisions to take my pool payments at lower than 5k.

As 2  pools lost my funds with 1 never repaying the coins.

So letting the pools hold beyond 10 k is not a normal thing to do.

But if my mine earns more than 10k in a day I would need to report that.

Mining is not illegal and I can simply show that other pools such as mmpool and nicehash collapsed and did not pay and or held my coins for years. Thus I simply take the coins out more quickly perfectly legal.  At no point last year did I ever let coins stay to 10 k and then pull them out so I am not changing my behavior as I result of the new law.

The highest amount I allowed to stay in my biggest pool at any time in the last year was under 5k.

I also have been doing kyc and paying my tax for years.

My biggest issue would be if I choose to solo mine and hit a block as that would be receiving more than 10k and I am not sure how to report it.

I would simply detach the center board from the 3 power jacks. Mine ran well for years like that.

So we got to 42.3k a few days late. around dec 4

do we go to 48.1k 8 or 9 days late. we did top 47.1k today.

It is a very long and winding ladder up.

well my 47075 ladder up sold

next one is set for 49432

At least you asked us.

You learned from the first time.

By the way I got an email today that my FTX funds are recoverable.

I knew it was fake as I do not have an or ever had an account with FTX

quite a bit off pace 368 vs 418

and coins are near 47k


and what is the old mempool up to lets see. here is the last 7 days


first 3-4 days before the diff jump diff rose showing possible overclock and memory pool shrank in count also showing result of blocks being made quickly we lowered to 252k or 255k backed up tx in pool right at the jump.




we are now at 282-285k. tx backed up due to slow blocks.

see below.  so if you want to argue that foundry is testing my raise the fee concept this evidence certainly is in favor of what I said.
 But not conclusive at all.   much like old paternity test. If one guy is type a+ and the other guy is type B-

you could rule one out as the dad. but not prove the one you could not rule out as the dad.


Does this continue to the ETF announcement we will see. If it does  then whales like a mofo it looks more like that is what was done.

downclocking by foundry in order to pre crowd the mempool.

this was done because they would make a ton of money if the NTF jumps up and prices go to 60k.

fees will be huge in a matter of a few days. say thursday this week.

or maybe a storm knocked out a few vast mines.

I am betting on hash manipulation by large mines.

I am trying to get two of them I will post if I do.

I will make you wait a bit to pass me buddy.

Post counts stopped?

Send me a pm I can advise you.

buddy will get past me  really soon.

🔜 my lead of 36 will be gone shortly.

I wonder if I can time it to the ETF statement.

anyone know when the statement will be on Wednesday?

251 vs 282 down 31

and mempool is duh crowd again

time to stop the downclocking at foundry and then boost back to 0 behind

or I know just variance.

At kano what is the math on 251 instead of 281

44432.10 is better to use for a sell ladder up.

or if you want higher ladder points numbers below are better.

44,818

45,783

46,714

than

45,000
46,000
47,000

as falling short by a little bit would happen less with the odd selling points.

as rewards drop it is more important to have higher fees.




240 blocks made vs 270 if normal.

that crowds the memory pool a lot.

if it is due to miners underclocking huge mines. they lost 30 x 6.25 coins in reward.

but fees get jacked for the 240 blocks made.

as big a problem as ordinals are what I an talking about is worse.

at the ½ they would lose the 30 blocks jack the fees for the 240 blocks.

at a cost of 30 x 3.125 = 93.75 coins.

this is a problem that seems to be certain to happen.

and to avoid the difficulty change to fix this they will over clock later in the same 2 week difficulty period.

One could argue Nixon started to scam by leaving the gold standard that covers 1970 to now.

But off topic. I guess.

Wealthy people have many piles of different wealth.

Lets take a imaginary guy with 25 billion in wealth.

He has 40,000 btc which is 1.6 to 1.8 billion dollars.

he knows the ETF is coming next week.

he feels no ETF will dump btc to 30k

so he sells ½ his btc drops price to 40k with that sale.

It is a new year and tax laws vary a lot country to country. He may not need to pay any tax on it until dec 2024.

He is liquid cash of maybe 800 million. He can hold it for next deal.
and if no ETF happens dropping price to 30k he can get more btc not worrying about any tax issue until december.

and remember he kept ½ of his btc so if ETF comes in and btc goes to 75k he has the other 20,000 btc.


also remember we are talking about a guy worth 25 billion he has lots more wealth on the side.

I am sorry that you live in a place of great restrictions.

Here is hoping things improve for you I have had hard times in my life years

ago. I grew up in a tough area.
