 Except I can not find anything on the internet that shows it really was said or written by trump.

I personally think it is a good quote and would like to really give him some credit for saying it.

Maybe some sone can find where and when he said it.

I should recommend a debian installation, it have a lot of support and a strong comunity. But all depends of you.

I have not done a Debian in years. I will give it a try tomorrow. 

Any special things you can think of to keep in mind. I think I will look for the Debian forum and read a bit.

So have not setup a linux in a while I went to linux.org and wanted to download a linux

I have an i7 3rd gen Asus if you wanted to run a node which linux would you put on it?

I would drop in a large 2tb ssd and start from scratch.
2844  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is horse racing so unpopular here and a bit of extra feedback on: September 29, 2023, 10:14:05 PM
Let's keep this as simple as possible and let's not shitpost!

I see thousands of posts about football, a few hundred about other sports, and the rest are just almost non-existent. I'm a gambler myself but I stopped a while ago betting on soccer, all the Nxx in American sports and I'm just betting now and then on horse racing, from one penny at a time to some larger sums in case of a grade 1 event or festival.
But here it seems like there is little interest in this, is that because horse racing is just unpopular or is it because, well,.... the casinos that sponsor most signatures here are not promoting it? So no post quota to make?  Grin My old local gambling forum that covered this is also near death, I'm sitting in the sun 8 hours a day boring myself to death, so here comes feedback next part :

- Do you honestly think running a prediction game (run with my own funds) would attract genuine interest in this and not just shitposting quota?
- Would let's say 1-2 mbtc (per event, about one or two per month) be enough for people here to at least open a few links and take a look at what hoses are running and what their timeform is?
- Is anyone here actually gambling on horse racing?


Honestly, I do not have much trust in horse racing. Perhaps this is due to a tradition of portraying horse races as easily manipulated. But I also do not trust anything that thinks for itself. Gambling is meant to be a pure chance game. With animals, there is a pseudo-chance game since animals can be manipulated in many ways, including drugs and training.

It seems like putting your money on a pre-decided race even though I'm sure there are strict regulations and I am just being paranoid.

Most sports are fixable and lots of fixing happens.

Gambling on sports is meh. I was a long time horse player glad to have stopped playing.

Most sports have a lot fixing.

I've made it no secret that I am an United States citizen, and that I also think Donald Trump is a raging Buffon, but what "he" says here I certainly agree with.  However like most things with Donny boy, he didn't write it.  This same type of statement has been stated, said, quoted for countless decades, well before Trump was ever born.  Just like his books, he didn't write this.  This was something he read and stole, like most things.

And honestly, as much as I love to hate on him..this is not my bias speaking here, it's just the truth.  

Lastly..I do agree and I do love what I do. It makes life so much better, as I've been on the other side of the coin, and life is miserable if you hate what you do.  Never stop trying to find something you at least like!

I have searched over the net for 20 minutes and can not find that quote anywhere.  With or with out Trumps name attached to it.

Maybe someone can show the exact link to it.

My point is I like the idea of the quote and I wish I could see Donald Duck (Chris Christie's name for him) Attached to it.

Oh here is Chris Christie saying Donald Duck instead of Donald Trump

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFqcensfoOY

so maybe I can see Donald saying these words.

Was about to post in another thread about price predictions/bull run etc, when I thought the last all time high and inflation. Here are the numbers I used, but essentially just taking inflation into consideration with no rise in new money entering the market the next Ath would be $79,844. It gave me pause for thought alot if the predictions threads are guessing 100k to 130k, it seems a bit wimpy to me and not the explosive bull run I hear about so much.

Ath-$69045
Rate of Inflation(annual)- 3.7%
Method Compounding(annual)
Time- 4yrs(eg 2021 -2025)

What do you all think?


clever idea.

I figured that the 2020 to 2021 1/2 ing and bull were great distorted by covid.

the 2015 to 2016 pre build up to the 1/2 ing  we got to 700 usd right before the 2016 1/2 ing this is about 60% of the prior ATH in 2013

so 60% of 69k = about 41.4k toss in a bit of inflation we could be close to 45k in late march . 

2016 700 become 20k. = 28.5k

2024 45k becomes ?  1.2825 million

If the 2016/2017 is true and is 2020/2021 is false due to covid and china fucking around with the April runup nov double top.

1,285 million would be impressive indeed

it is my high number pick for next sunup.
2847  Other / Meta / Re: How to check post bursting through ninjastic space on: September 29, 2023, 08:01:52 PM
You should check the time difference between the posts. Let's say I posted here in the forum where the time is e.g. 2:30:20 and then I posted again at 2:35:15 and again at 2:40:30. As you can see, there are 3 posts within 10 mins which it is already considered as posts bursting. You will need to get the user's user ID to check it on ninjastic.space. You may also check the user's post history if you don't want to use the site yet or you may use both at the same time.

Yeah I am thinking that this does not count in my case. As I may do that 4 times in a day and 35 days in a row.

Also my campaign needs 40 posts a week for max payment and last week I posted 122 times.

I did not think it was manual and that it tries to auto detect the posts.

Now I see it may just show 3 in ten and then the campaign guy looks at it. Makes a decision if there are enough good posts made.
2848  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: [INFO - DISCUSSION] Compact Block Relay (BIP152) on: September 29, 2023, 05:38:09 PM
So are these being done a lot at the moment? Or is this a future oriented idea?

Seems like it works fairly well I don't see any flaws in the concept.

Already implemented by Bitcoin Core since 2016, see https://bitcoincore.org/en/2016/06/07/compact-blocks-faq/. I also except most/all pool already support it since it allow their mined block propagated faster.

I would love to know the traffic volume of these vs the older style methods.

It appears that this method would be in more use then the original methods.

I did not know they were using this short cut.

Yeah I resize a lot of images. One thing I find is if I shrink to

2.1-2.4 mb some times it still says too big.

I manually re size to 1600 by 900 which always works.

Of course it is slower.
2851  Other / Meta / Re: How to check post bursting through ninjastic space on: September 29, 2023, 02:20:31 PM
I don’t have the time to check my posts out.

But I am a posting mother fucker.

I do 10 to 20 posts a day for 11 years and 2 months.

I recently needed a bit more income for my projects and took on a signature.

So for last 3 weeks I did very close to 400 posts. which is way more than i needed to get max payout .

Only 120 posts were needed.

I know I am a bit unusual as I am the post leader on the site. But I wonder if it would look like I am burst posting.

I just finish eating breakfast 🍳 and plan to be on this site reading and posting for about an hour.

I would be interested if it would look like I burst posted.
2852  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Ignore the new Apple toys & Invest in Bitcoin, history always repeat itself. on: September 29, 2023, 02:12:31 PM
I think most people are smart and won't buy another iPhone that is no different from the previous one. Bitcoin is much more valuable in this regard.


Bruh, this company lives because millions are buying their products. They've been the same for quite some time, and I don't think that's gonna change soon. If people around you aren't buying iPhones it doesn't mean that most of their customers will stop buying them.

Oh yeah. I post a lot on mac rumors constantly dissing 1 product the iPhone.

Mind you i like the ipad mini and the mac mini.

So i am anti one product that is the iphone 📱

I make a lot of people angry because I ask them what can their 1000+ dollar iphone can do as compared to my 300+ dollar plus samsung a54.  most do not have a good answer .

here is one at the end of the day it is a 300 dollar phone.

my come back is that does 95 to 98 percent the same as your 1000 dollar phone.

In my case I need three phones to run my mining business.

So I spend 900 vs 3000 every 2-3 years.

This is a simple no brainer for me.

It does look like we will have a winner in the -1 to + 3  range

say 08 ) to 16) picks

I need to think how hard it will be for me to do.

This jump is a no as I still have yet to finish my taxes they are due Oct 15 and they are fucking long and hard to do.

Next jump I may take  a break 

Jump after that I will likely run a contest.

well  if I allowed switching why would a guy with a shot

say +1.01 to 1.50%

switch with say kano who is -4.51 to -5.00%

only if he was offered coin to hedge.

that might work is the prize was big but at the moment 0.001 btc is not worth paying to get a closer number.

I have to think is there is a use case to allow trades

Looks like Blackrock’s Bitcoin spot ETF application has been delayed and not approved. I don’t think many people thought it would be approve at this moment, but there you have it. Blackrock is going to have to let their application sit on the SEC’s desk like everyone else. I still think mass approval of spot ETFs will happen sometime in the next 6 months.

Well price needs to be over 45k by April 1 or a shit ton of miners will bailout.

An ETF could help fix that.

Interest looks to stay over 5% here in the states for at least 6 months.

The runup to the ½ ing should be fun.

2860  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: 2023 Diff thread now opened. on: September 28, 2023, 08:17:26 PM
we are at -0.4685%

If we were to stop now stompix would win

1307 blocks down and 809 blocks to go

Amazing how the difficulty pace changes too fast

we are now at 100.5497% with roughly 4.5 days ahead, judging by how fast/slow the pace has been moving I think the following picks have the highest chance of winning


Code:
14) 1.51 to   2.00%  - MagicByt3
15) 2.01 to   2.50% - Watche
16) 2.51 to   3.00% - joker_josue
17) 3.01 to   3.50% - vapourminer

I know this is a fun game and you wouldn't want to have to deal with changes, but I think adding the ability to trade your pick with another person would be fun, for an example, MagicByt3 would request an exchange with joker_josue and if accepted they switch places, something like Monty Hall if you guys have ever watched it.



Mmm "Let's make a deal"

Let me think about a way to work that.
