You mean those bozos? 1 of them slapped a cop on duty, the other 1 pulled his pants down, the last one just smashed a pie to his face, WHILE on duty. Guess what? %90 of people on DT are living in a fantasy world, they don't know what is the world, they think they are some sort of tough mf from hollywood movies.

And I don't know if they are still on DT or not, but they don't care, any other DT not excluding them seems to agree with their decision. "Oh we are tough, we don't tolerate cops here" mentality.

Now it's not like that account was asking for a loan or anything else, to say the tags were justified, funny they didn't correct their mistake. That's why not anyone is fit for DT, they should be selected with care.

People should ignore all positive/negative feedbacks, they are not necessarily the opinions of the community as a whole.

Bummer. Keep us updated on the case. If it goes well will you be ordering more of them or do you have some coupons to spare for a fellow miner who has never owned a GPU rack/case before? Maybe I could stop stockpiling PCs if I were to switch to something like this. My office is starting to look like a PC cemetery.

No one like ETH but it will reach new ATH in this bull cycle. After the elliott wave analysis we see $8000 or more per ETH. Just saying

Wtf, what about DDoS-for-hire services being advertised here then? theymos, for sure you are aware that DDoS is illegal in most jurisdictions and it has the same crime weight as being sanctioned by OFAC.

People advertise services already seized by FBI here that changed their domains (Stresse) and you have no problem with it. Don't you think you slightly overlooked some things while banning mixers?

If you are to ban services that represent juridical risk to the forum then banning such services from advertising would be a first thing to do, not mixers or sites that list mixers (that are not even illegal).

Don't be that ridiculous. While DDoS services are allowed here, you are being nothing but a hypocrite with this decision. And I am not even a fan of mixers but I like reading/participating in the yearly drama of scammed/seized mixer threads and oh, tears of paid members when something happens to the service they promoted for money are priceless.

8 blocks, not 2 blocks.

According to the first chart, if you set the fee rate to 140 sat/vbyte, you should wait for at least 8 blocks.
Note that each block can include up to 1 vMB of transactions.


I couldn't understand how you got those numbers.
Here are my calculations for the case the fee rate used for the transaction is 200 sat/vbyte.

1 legacy input and 1 legacy output: 191 sat, 38,200 sat
1 legacy input and 1 nested segwit output: 189 sat, 37,800 sat
1 legacy input and 1 native segwit output: 188 sat, 37,600 sat


1 nested segwit input and 1 legacy output: 135 vbyte, 27,000 sat
1 nested segwit input and 1 nested segwit output: 133 sat, 26,600 sat
1 nested segwit input and 1 native segwit output: 132 sat, 26,400 sat

1 native segwit input and 1 legacy output: 112 sat, 22,400 sat
1 native segwit input and 1 nested segwit output:  110 vbyte, 22,000 sat
1 native segwit input and 1 native segwit output: 109 vbyte, 21,800 sat

I was against WoS because of it being custodial.

After 6 months, I can say I use it more than my own LN node. It works flawlessly for me, due to the fact thar WoS nodes are connected with a ton of nodes. So sometimes, if I wanna pay someone, I will try to use my own node but there have been times where I couldn't pay due to the fact that there was no payment route between me and the other end. With WoS I never had this issue.

So today, I am in favor of using the WoS. It's smooth and works well. But yeah... custodial solution...

I remember watching a debate with Saifedean Ammous, where the other person said that BTC was too slow and too expensive compared to the legacy payment methods, he did touch on a very important point that BTC transactions are final settlements, they should not be compared with your average credit card or Paypal payments because those are not final, and he makes a lot of sense because if you were to make a wire transfer from the U.S to Tanzania, the final settlement between your bank and the other person's bank and the dozen parties involved could take days if not weeks, and it's no where near cheap.

The same thing actually applies when you pay using your credit card, the shop gets its balance increased right away but for the value to be settled between the banks, the payment provider, and all parties involved it's going to take a lot and cost a lot, especially for cross-border transactions.

So on-chain transactions should be compared with central bank-level settlements since they are the textbook definition of final settlements, so it makes sense that they are expensive and somewhat slow, despite beating the legacy system in that regard, now, I for one would like to see fees increase because more people, companies or even banks are using BTC to settle transactions and not because of some worthless ' it's what I think about Ordinals' data stored on the blockchain.

However, it's only common sense for fees to go up with time, I mean if BTC was used by 1% of the population, nobody would get away with those 2 sat/Vbyte transactions even without Ordinals, I strongly believe the Brc-20 hype will fade and will be just history -- but it will still be a tough war for those  "let's do whatever it takes to keep my fee at 2 sats/ Vbyte" because sometime in the future they would be contesting against each other when Ordis are gone, many people will find something to blame for the high fees, I can't wait for things like "All these stupid folks spamming the blockchain to buy Starbucks coffee that tastes like shit", and ya, I would have to agree with them because Starbucks coffee really does taste like shit.

That's right, I currently have a whopping 0 merit left to give  

I have always tried to give credit where credit is due, and you can be sure that if I gave you merit you have earned it!

Eventually when I get more merit I think I will be much more selective in how I distribute it this next time only giving one at a time I think.

I think this is a nice reminder that is the prompting when you are to hand out merits:  " This is what determines your forum rank. You typically cannot lose this merit. You have 0 sendable merit (sMerit) which you can send to other people. There is no point in hoarding sMerit; keeping it yourself does not benefit you, and we reserve the right to decay unused sMerit in the future."

I think a lot of people don’t realize this. My personal belief is that if FTX didn’t defraud everyone out of their Bitcoin and pump everyone’s shitcoins then the price of BTC likely would have gone up as high as $140,000 and would have bottomed around $60,000. So while we may be in a bull market now, we should have never gotten this low in the first place.

Do you think only signature participants are willing to post here? Bitcoin is a forum where anyone can post, share their ideas and complain, people are active posting even without the paid campaign way back before. So it's not new, getting paid when posting is just like incentives. You can see them mostly in technical boards where skills and experience  are shared.

I would be really happy for it continue these small pumps, then stabilising for a bit then going up again. Feels like resistance is being built for the future. I do wonder too have miners stopped selling and are hoarding a bit before the halving. 48k by Mar tho Phil sounds more realistic , but who knows maybe 3/15 might be a better day

I am planning to sell in case we hit 45k usd to double my chance when time comes bitcoin dumped like what expected before this year ends or after January because I believe that we are lowering or correction before the halving season so yes lets have it this way and not to complete Holding.
i may have interest to invest more or maybe sell and buy ,  like what many keeps saying as continues holding is not so advisable in our days now.
because the market sometimes goes roller coaster or sometimes making difference to the time we need to sell .

On hold until 45k stamp

God candle! I like the sound of that!

So finally for a while keeping above 100% and starting to get some lead


We might snatch another positive adjustment, and with the price seemingly unstoppable I don't really know if we're going to hit a negative till the halving.
Not only is the price up but due to possible FOMO I guess fees are again up, over 200sat/vb constantly, last blocks
‎2.674
‎2.504
‎2.823

9 btc for a block at $43k, close to $400k
back two and a half months ago, under 200k per block.
So, simple math says 800 exahash in sight?  

ps
No I'm not doing the nuclear reactors thing as probably I would get a headache seeing how much would be needed!

Yes, I think a legal mixer would not only serve no purpose for most people, but it would also demonstrate that nobody wants to use a legal mixer, which would then ironically make the mixer hilariously bad as it wouldn’t get enough use to serve it’s purpose as a proper mixer. It would also end the debate on if people are using them for legal purposes, as nobody would use it…
