i know you are trying to say that the universe cant have came to be from random acts. and that those saying it must be people that believe in magic.. but its those that think a magician made something appear that believe in magic


did you know there is no hard solid object at the atomic level. its just pure frequency waves spinning and either interfering, attracting,resisting and reflecting other waves to become certain things that cause forces which we feel as resistance/attraction or causes energy or light depending on the frequency

the frequency of majority of the wave clusters of billions* of waves, and how the react with each other is what we perceive as different types of atoms, molecules, vapours and solids

lets go back before the big bank.. there were no solids. just a vast space of waves(plasma)

with enough randomness of so many waves moving and colliding or reflecting, causing energy, light or force to become clusters to join to create waves of certain frequency affecting other certain waves. and they then clump together and fuse into tighter spirals of waves and such

still in plasma form way beyond the xray end speed waves beyond the frequency of sight and sound

which attract other waves over trillions of years which then form large clumps at slower frequencies less than the xray range, and into the visual spectrum range you can then see and feel the resistance or pull and see the light waves of..

repeat billions* of trillions of times  over billions of years

imagine it as like plasma(vapour) light waves of large size super super suns that attract into vapour(plasma) getting bigger and bigger and build up and the energy is centred so much that the energy has to escape. and BANG this massive explosive ball then explodes out into smaller balls

now sun size clumps of hot plasma explode out and over billions of years the energy dissipates the waves slow down and solidify(stop vibrating/spinning) in their clumps to then form what we see as solid planets, asteroids moons

the solids then start orbiting the large plasma balls(suns). and you start to call them solar systems

billions is not actual billions its such a large number there is no name for it. im just simplifying it down

windfury yet again you miss many points and you are truly unethical crap you say and social drama insults on bitcoiners and the network has not gone unnoticed.

but lets stick with things you dont understand(or pretend not to)
the "weight unit" is not actual REAL BYTES

but under the cludgy code rules.. that chart of light blue wall with a few white cracks in it..

ALOT/most of the chart is highly blue right to the top with the occasional white gap

i know you(windy) are not good at hard data and numbers, so just be honest with yourself and YOUR EYES

would u call that chart a white empty chart with occasional blue spikes of utility.. would u call it 50:50 of white and blue.. or would you say it is a mostly blue wall with some white cracks of inactivity

if you want to be stupid and pretend there is no mostly hitting the limit.. count the pixels at the top line of blue vs white chart.. or actually check the hard data behind the chart. and do the math.. it will surprise you that its mostly hits the limit

and thats without congestion from just ONE service. imagine if all services decided they wanted to use the network properly daily. instead of forced to throttle down daily utility and avoid congesting the network

its not that there is no demand its that the limit has made people not want to use bitcoin daily to a true currency state of utility

the strangling and choking has already persuaded people down from using bitcoin. not due to a persons lack of desire not to. but due to lack of scaling to allow them freedom of use without concern

you know this and you love this because you think its proof that your altnetwork is taking up the slack and daily utility that people are not doing now due to the limitation.

if there was no demand the chart would not be topping the limit

but even toping the limit its not actually utilising the limit to allow more transactions than 2017

oh that reminds me
you are too obsessed about megabytes (blocksize) but you are not actually counting correctly. just like the cludgy code doesnt

it treats a normal legacy as larger than it is in weight units compared to segwit..

if the code actually bothered to be a true 4mb real byte limit and all transaction formats were counted as real tx bytes. and also not have a cludgy code of only allowing witness to use the 3of4 part of weight.

meaning any and all transactions can fully utilise a true 4mb space which core devs have deemed network safe..
then we can actually get true capability of more tx capacity to allow more frequent use rather than the throttled down use forced on users and services due to the cludge

but i do laugh how you subtly suggest "bitcoin is not used much by that many people" yea i see your subtle crap of calling bitcoin useless and unwanted you scummy altnet adorer

just remember about the congestion
if ONE service of ONE days full use, caused congestion that lasted a week.. imagine if there was 2 services, 4 20 services or just 52 services..

then you will maybe(but doubt) start to think that the throttling because of the limit has choked them 50 services down to not use it.. rather that natural lack of demand

nasa science and exploration is not for the betterment of "human kind" and just discovery and pretty pictures..
its for water exploitation. as they want to be the moons water "reserves" owner. much like the US wants to control earths oils reserves

knowing private companies will need space fuel(hydrogen) and oxygen for  asteroid mining. US gov wants to own and corner the market of the fuel and air market of space.

the colonists is not putting families on the moon for "expanding the human race". its going to be maintenance guys, engineers.

nasa has to get their first before elon/putin/xi takes the market.

elon want to be the space taxi but could with a few trips on starship get more stuff set up on the moon to corner the market. so nasa are now running at double speed and trying to contract its competitors via Artemis project to have a non compete in exchange for grants and privilege of other space industries

people are not paying a premium for city living due to lack of housing

there are many apartment blocks with vacant apartments.
they pay a premium to not have to commute for an hour in the morning and an hour in the evening

yes they can save themselves alot of money living outside the city. but its time thats a premium

imagine your a city worker. earning $500k a year
where of your 12 hours of awake life 2 hours of it is spent/wasted in commuting (16%)
if you can bring that down to just 30 mins (1/4th) wouldnt that be worth maybe 10% of your income
so $50k on a 20 year mortgage is $1m

broadly speaking paying ~$1m on a city home over 20 years means you get 90 minutes of spare time to relax and enjoy life

time is money and money is time

no point earning $500k if you got no spare time to enjoy it. might aswell keep $450k and enjoy 90minutes of freetime to enjoy your homelife each day
4765  Economy / Economics / Re: The U.S. Needs More Housing Than Almost Anyone Can Imagine on: December 08, 2022, 07:31:53 AM
I have to say it is not even all about "building" a house but more about how real estate became an investment for way too many people.

its more like a select amount of people own more then a dozen properties each, all vacant and used just for investment

there is enough housing but its just that the prices went up too fast in previous years meaning they either have to correct back down fast. or stagnate for years until real value catches up

for power.
dont imagine large fields of solar panels or a large nuclear power station the size of a football field

instead imagine a submarine engine..
yep you know the engines the navy use for housing and work space for 100+ sailors in a small colony metal tube in the sea where there is no air outside of the tube


so dont think "biodome" of a football field size green house of glass..
phase 1 would be submarine style living. in cylinder capsules with only a few port windows the size of a football(not a field)

as for the 3d printing. dont think "housing"
think concrete reservoirs to hold liquids in
water silos.. not houses

using standardised testing example is not about efficiency. its about bad reporting/recording

stopping a production line to ask them how many products they made each 10 minutes is not efficient. is a disruption

standardised testing is a disruption to education

..
a better example of efficiency is
ejaculating inside your wife quicker may be more productive.. more kids.. but your wife will be left unsatisfied by lack of orgasms and left feeling like she is just a production line of pushing melon size babies out her body too often and left having to cleaning up after a army of brats for 18 years

some times it pays to slow things down be romantic, wear protection and seduce your wife instead of using her just as a baby maker
she then might be more receptive and happy to then have a kid in your own way own choice happy life.. happy wife
4768  Other / Ivory Tower / Re: Quantum physics on: December 08, 2022, 06:56:39 AM
nope that is not what the schrodinger's cat experiment was trying to explain

it was that measuring something to then quantify a result is only as good as the ability, tool and time and method of measuring

where by if there was a box and no one can see in it. you cant measure what is happening thus you cant report if the animal is dead or not (even if reality is the cat did die in the box). its only when you open the box you find out and then report a result

its nothing about magic of changing the hour the cat physically died. its about being able to prove a death occured by changing when and how you could see the cat died. which changes your result proof record of death result

the cat if without a box would die at noon. .. in the box it stil died at noon. but because of the box. you cant see the death meaning you cant prove it or report it as witness until you open the box in the evening.

so when you open the draw of the box in the evening to a now decaying cat of many hours of decay. you now can prove and witness record the death. but scientifically you have to report the 'time of death' by your witness view. which then on a report shows as a time of death as the after noon(inaccurate, but its the only thing to go by without further proof)
it would then require other equipment to analyse the decaying corpse to get a real time of death to counter-argue the witness report of death as in the evening. to be proven as the real time of death at noon.. and thats the point

proofs are only as good as the equipment and witness used to measure it

quantum is about new method of measuring things

where the instrument of measurement affects the results

take quantum computers.
its not about aliens or multiverse theory of new earths.. its the same earth just measured differently

binary is 2D.. a logic gate of 2
quantum computers are 3D.. a gate of 4 or more

time travel is only into the future. not backwards
time VIEWING of the past is possible, from great distance or use of mirrors and lenses at a great distance to beam the light emissions outbound to come inbound


you can travel to great distance and by the time you get back you will realise your family have grown up during the time you were not present

also while at the great distant using the right tech of mirrors and lenses you can capture the light emitted from the past and watch a re-run of the past
4770  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Flood but main causes on: December 08, 2022, 06:22:48 AM
hundreds of years ago. the normal water cycle is that when it rains the rain then soaks into top soil of land and moves down rivers and streams in thin layers meaning easy to evaporate and cycle. where it would be like sunny day rainy day sunny rainy with small amount of rainfall each time. balancing out the ecosystem and temperature by mild small variation

however industrialisation started to dam up rivers to store water for months in reservoirs and cities using up the water and plumbing the water into pipes. instead of letting it flow to evaporate in small easy amounts each day

this meant not as much evaporation thus less gentle rain periods regularly

these gaps of rain meant lands heating up more and then the beaches having sea water at low tides get warmer so even more water would evaporate in one go. more water evaporating in one go means a day later where ever the wind took those clouds eventually the more rain would then splash on the ground in one go

due to the lack of rain days months before(drought)..the rains wont just soak or evaporate to just recycle the water cycle back to normal. instead it was wash away or collect.(flood) which cause issues evaporating..

so again long periods without evaporation meant longer periods without cloud cover meaning it then got hotter meaning then it hit the tipping point of the waters of large reservoirs and beaches being hot enough to cause alot of evaporation in one go. and so

that bigger lot of water evaporating meant more rain to come down..(bigger floods)

yep.. nothing to do with carbon at all. yes hydro power generation from dam reservoirs and yes human caused.. but not due to "carbon"
its to do with damming up rivers and plumbing/sewers that stopped normal evenly distributed water on topsoil to evenly evaporate

try it yourself. get 2 glasses of water of equal amount.

on a sunny day put one glass on your back yard patio still in its glass.. and then spill the other glass on your patio..
you will see the puddle evaporates more

now see it as a big picture. that puddle would have made a small rainy day if you imagine your patio as a country.
now imagine. not spilling the glass in second round. but collecting it into reservoirs. where you put 2 glasses on patio along side the fit days glass you didnt spill .

where, if you had no puddle on second round (free flow of water in thin layers spread over land) then the lack of those rainy days and clouds to cool the land. means more sunny drought days on round 3,4,5,6,etc.. more sunny days to heat the land. meaning the glasses(reservoir/oceans) warm up until they evaporate all the water in the glasses of many days of stored water. in one go. (that did not be set free to evaporate over time.gradually)
and suddenly it all goes up.. and what goes up must come down.. in one go

I hope you didn't pay for it. If you did, you have been scammed.


a fresh newbie account tries to tickle the whiskers of gullible people offering too much presumed value with hints of atleast 60% of the password

its already BEING TOO OBVIOUS!by hinting its a russian email address so guessing the characters after the @ and before the .ru becomes childs play of just probably 10 possible well know email provisors in russia

then the remaining characters are supposedly the characters before the @

its too obvious a scam carrot swinging near the noses of the gullible dimwhits thinking they are smart enough to solve it for quick riches


it seem "to good to be true" offering something so easy to brute.. meaning.. IT IS not true

usually when these scams are done by this method
they are "bought" or insured by the guy wanting to get a win(the gullible) who pays the scammer

the scammer is the one asking if someone can brute.. dangling a easy brute carrot
end result the guy making the topic runs off with a the gullible persons donation
4772  Economy / Economics / Re: Central Bank of Nigeria to limit cash withdrawals on: December 08, 2022, 02:02:17 AM

It would be interesting to know the underlying reason for such a seemingly drastic action because capital controls are the sign of a very desperate government and economic situation in any country.

many countries have an issue with big business doing huge cash-outs. driving to an airport leaving their lambos in the airport parking lot and flying out of the country

many businesses love to come into a country. get quick profit in some malicious way and escape with bundles of cash that cant be traced electronically..

its that simple
if they can atleast get a 5%-10% tax off those cash0and0run attempts. its less of a hit for a government
4773  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin and the cryptospace is threatened by this legislation backed by Sam on: December 08, 2022, 01:52:23 AM
SEC cannot regulate the market orders or the currency. or mining
bitcoin the asset(under sec regulation) has the sec limited in their remit. meaning they cant do much but monitor payment service business

however the CFTC can
bitcoin the commodity(under the CFTC regulation) opens alot more doprs for overreach by regulators.. more then you may realise

the CFTC can do these things to the crypto sector

with market orders(price discovery)
- limit how small or big a order has to be to be a valid order
- if price spikes/dumps more then x%, circuit break.stop filling orders
- limit who qualifies as a "qualified investor"
[ list goes on]

when it comes to mining
collaborate with EPA to:
- limit mining to green/efficient mining equipment
- permit or dismiss certain area's locations of where mining can be done
- put a quota on production per location
- outright ban certain minting/staking/mining types of block creation
[ list goes on]

as for privacy
financial privacy never existed. especially when businesses/custodians/banks/payment firms had you as a customer
but this could extend to non business owned custodial services

lets address the RBF thing

if RBF becomes easy to achieve. then the trust of zero confirm on the bitcoin networks zero-confirm relay stage becomes obsolete in trusting as paid. unless:
you use non-taproot multisig.
  pre-consenting to tx signing,
  meaning they cant send something after. without signed consent
  (disclaimer avoid being part of a taproot multisig)
  (avoid alt, sub, sidenetwork without a consensus feature when signing)
or
if value is negligible
   and you do not care to lose value should they change, take a chance.
or
   you have to wait for atleast a few confirms to then trust you got paid..

its all a salepitch game for a altnetwork fangirl team
remove a feature or security from bitcoin to make another network look more appealing. even if the altnetwork they promote still is broke in many ways

So many times we see people who were financially bouyant and stable reduced to nothing in the society,is it because they failed to strategise well?or could it be that they no longer put in the much effort they put before that got them to the level they were?what can actually be the cause of the downfall of someone who was already stable financially?

most rich businessmen do not value themselves on actual cash in pockets amount. but on market cap/ company valuations of vapour money

this is to say imagine you start a business and you seeked investment of $100k for 5% of company
it vapours a value of $2m but only $100k of real money exists

businesses pretend they have $2m to play with or $2m of stuff they can sell to creditors if things go bad..
but if they over extend themselves and spend the $100k real money and then get into debt about the vapour value.. boom fall from grace instantly
4779  Economy / Economics / Re: Everything you wanted to know about a future Based ETF and were afraid to ask on: December 07, 2022, 10:28:03 PM
in short
spot ETF
company prebuys a large amoutn of coin and locks it into a trust fund
people then buy shares of the trust fund that related to the collateral value(bitcoins) held within


futures
gamblers hand over money saying they contract that the price will go down
gamblers hand over money saying they contract that the price will go up

fiat goes into a fund

the market rate is the index, which is the average of these 2 gambles
loser loses by the X% difference of the index compared to their position. the winner get x % compared to the position

EG

if price is $17k
(A) bets it goes up,, puts in $500
(B) bets it goes down.. puts in $500
if it goes down by 2% of $17k.
(A) loses 2% of his $500 ($490)
(B) gets 2% of $10k($510)

in short
spot ETF is investing.. futures is gambling

leveraging
say you want to gamble 10k but only have $500
you take a loan out with the market for the extra $9500

issues get bad if the market was to take a 5% or more turn against you
EG 6% bad bet result which is not a 6% on your $500($30loss)
its 6% on the $10k bet

where your $500 is gone and you owe the market another $100
plus you still owe interest and penalties on the $9500 loan.

the person that won a good 6% bet by doing a 20x leverage on their $500
gets $600 meaning $1.1k total now and just has to pay off the interest on the loan

the other machines were not 24/7 they were popping in and out a few times a day

satoshi was a 24/7 miner and debugger.

thus separate people

also satoshis debugging and testing transactions in blocks and payments was only done from his one machine with the one list of satoshi stash addresses of the blue line

it makes no sense to turn on and off other machines randomly if youare not doing anything with them but mine.

its more obviously that its random other people coming in and out each day but not really caring to be all day online
