a vaccine does not create an invisible shield outside the body with a 'do not enter' sign

emphasis: ^ is not how vaccines work.

when people are infected. a vaccine knows how to fight it quick and efficiently and this not produce symptoms
symptoms are where the body have to go into overdrive to do something.

so yes whole lockdowns are relaxing CASE numbers will go up
but the number of hospitalisations per case go down


in 2020 when
it was like for every 100 cases 20 were hospitalised

in 2020
it is like for every 100 cases 7 were hospitalised


yes lockdowns prevent people even getting covid. but thats only a delay tactic.
vaccines fight the virus to prevent hospitalisation and thus death

again
no vaccines do not create a invisible 'do not enter' bubble shield to prevent infection
they do fight off the infection before it causes any negative effects
8202  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Naming System / Alias Idea on: June 19, 2021, 06:21:50 PM
Just want to clarify a couple of things. This blockchain/spacechain for name space wouldn't store the association between a name and a singular BTC address. It would store a name, a pubkey, an LN node uri and potentially some sort of state variable that is updated every time a call to a name server for that association is made. This last one might pose too much overhead on a network.

So let's imagine a decentralized naming system where a name, a node uri and associated pubkey are stored. To send to, for example, @rebelofbabylon, you would need to get association from a node running this software, then connect to LN node via the given node uri.

just to clarify

to even connect to a naming system blockchain. you have to initially make a connection to some network, *just to sync the blocks*. and then relay out your special alias and some connection id. *to then get added to a block to then be propagated to the network*

so just do away with the block syncing propogating and storing part. and just use a network connection relay part for your temporary namespace WHEN YOU WANT TO FIND YOUR CHANNEL PARTNER

let it relay around the network. and then the specific recipient can see its a message to him. and he just responds to it


.. anyway thats the best solution for your namespace directory idea.. however a QR code on some app/website payment page is much easier then trying to decide on alias's to temporarily use.. and then propagate around the network
just getting a QR code from a websites payment checkout. is much easier

8203  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Program for searching addresses bitcoin and ethereum based on files with a list on: June 19, 2021, 05:43:56 PM
if you have a full node you can just get the UTXO set and then compare that you your list of keys.

most fullnode software strips a bitcoin address down to its base minimum RIPEMD160 format
so when doing your privatekey to public key to sha to ripemd160. you then dont need to then add on the version bits and checksum or the convertion to base58 or beck32

you can just compare your seeds ripemd160 to the utxoset ripemd160 in your nodes UTXOset to see if funds exist

..
the flaws of a seed is that the 12 words represent only 12 of of 2048 words
if you do the math. 204812

5,444,517,900,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
vs                                                                  80,000,000

thats like 8 needles in 544517900000000000000000000000000 haystacks

and to add to that
your
5,444,517,900,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
haystacks which you are searching through. are in a single small seed barn
compared to the entire private key land scape of hay
11,579,209,000,000,000,000,000,0000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000


meaning there are  
21,267,647,958,325,200,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 barns full of the same amount as your seed barn.. and you are not looking in any of those barns

finding 80mill addresses in a single barn of millenia of searchs. when you are missing out the point that there are eons of barns of the barn your searching in..
you soon realise its not a needle in a haystack
its a needle in a haystack of a barn. of all the barns on earth, of all the planets in the univervers

...
but goodluck

if you want to just play it luck y hoping to find a phrase some someone uses because its a common term. really good luck. idiots using common phrases like 'to be or not to be that is the question quote william shapespear"
then they deserve their funds snatched

by the way the numbers are so huge i dont even have to be 0.00000000001% correct to the amount. for it to still be more numbers than someone can even contimplate

but hey.
if you think you can brute all
5,444,517,900,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

then i hope your great great great great great grandkids are willing to help keep the project going in that single barn. and your descendants to the millionth generation might just, might start on a second barn of haystacks.



so heres a hint. before going deep into the project.
work out a health search per second value
how many private key conversions and ripemd160 comparisons can yo do a second
..
then calculate how many searches a monute, hour,day, year, decade, century, millenia
and see if you even come close to your haystack barn total

EG. lets go crazy 1 trillion keys a second(more then most pc's can do)
1,000,000,000,000,000per sec
60,000,000,000,000,000per min
3,600,000,000,000,000,000per hour
86,400,000,000,000,000,000per day
31,536,000,000,000,000,000,000per year
315,360,000,000,000,000,000,000per decade
3,153,600,000,000,000,000,000,000 per century

yep thats
3,153,600,000,000,000,000,000,000 per century
vs
5,444,517,900,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 hey stacks

yep thats right
1,726,445,300,608,830,000 centuries to entirely bruteforce just the seed word haystackbarn
let alone all the barns in the universe

Magnetic vaccines exist, and have existed for maybe a couple of decades, now. You can still find them in Net searches.

the amount of grams of magnetic dust needed to attract a coin/fridge magnet. is more than a vaccine syringe would ever be able to contain

its simple biology/ physics/ math/ common sense

vaccines wont cause coins to stick via magnetics through the skin/muscle


lets word it another way
there is more magneticism inside a standard hard drive than can be in say 20 vaccines injected into the same muscle fibre/cells

and yet put a coin or key on a hard drive and you wont feel any push or pull
why.. because there is not enough to cause any attraction at the level of a coin or key

oh and one other bit of science.
magnetic particles made im medical treatments to attract to cells. flips the magnet so the direction away from the cell would repel other magnets/metals

put magnetic dust into a vile of blood and then have a metal nail nearby the vile would resist it.

isnt science great. it can always debunk idiots

1: Quick action

2: Public support

3: Young population - and few old-age homes
The age of the population in most African countries is also likely to have played a role in containing the spread of Covid-19. Globally, most of those who have died have been aged over 80, whileAfrica is home to the world's youngest population with a median age of 19 years, according to UN data. "The pandemic has largely been in younger age groups... about 91% of Covid-19 infection in sub-Saharan Africa are among people below 60 years and over 80% are asymptomatic," said the World Health Organization (WHO).

4: Favourable climate

5: Good community health systems


young population was a big part of it.
but the other main parts that contributed most were
ai. not many africans travelled for vacations and leisure. so the amount of imported cases was low and slow.. unlike developed countries that were bringing it in by the plane load
aii.. most cases were in the urban area's where fashion/business imports via the FEW that did travel.

bi. alot of africa is distributed over large gaps in land where small villages do not migrate/commute to the big cities often.
bii. farmers too busy on their land 300miles from nearest city were not going to get it

ci. even native/tribal villages know how to stay away from a sick person. they learned this from ebola and other diseases over centuries
cii. they dont have great healthcare. its actually the lack of healthcare and testing which lead to people thinking there were less cases.

overall
although there are a biliion africans in total. its the isolation of villagers and their lack of commuting to cities or other countries that helped it not having max spread. but even with less spread (lower R number) they still had alot of cases that were not registered
8206  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will the Lightning Network Solve ALL Scalability Issues? on: June 19, 2021, 09:20:22 AM
In my opinion, LN is "only" a part of the scalability puzzle, but a pretty big one. LN can rise the Bitcoin capacity safely by 1000x or more, without any fundamental disadvantages for small-to-medium transactions.

1900-1970 bank notes were not actually gold. but paper pegged to gold
alternate networks like liquid and LN are not bitcoin. they are tokens pegged to bitcoin

a millisat htlc on LN is not a bitcoin transaction that can be broadcast.
bitcoin does not understand 12 decimals.
bitcoin is measuured in satoshi's which are multplied by 100m to make the basket term btc
millisats are 12 decimals of a btc. thus they are not convertable at raw transaction value level

so LN is not increasing bitcoin capacity.
its getting people to vault up their gold so they can play around with bank notes.
once you make the distinction of the different tokens (sats vs millisats)
and you understand bitcoin has know understanding of millisats. it becomes clear. that its not scaling bitcoin.
but converting bitcoiners to another token

LN is not even a feature unique to bitcoin, solely for bitcoin. and created to only wiork with bitcoin.
LN cant even use the same pegged token unit as bitcoin.

LN is a separate gateway for multiple coins to utilise.
meaning what will play out is bitcoin locked into factory.. users play with millisats. then "atomic swap" to a cheaper fee altcoin like LTC, giving the atomic swapper the bitcoin unlock ability.
or
people will vault up the btc into factories. and never exit LN unless through a exchage that converts to dollar. meaning the factory again keeps the btc

its how banks done it in the last century.. with the pretend 'bank notes are gold so no need to convert back' lie
8207  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will the Lightning Network Solve ALL Scalability Issues? on: June 18, 2021, 08:26:48 PM
for the next couple decades miners dont need to rely on fee's. its still defined as a bonus. not the salary
the block reward is still the salary. so on that premiss of the nest 5 years, this is what happens

imagined a settled average mining cost is ~ $220k per block. today ($35k/btc)
with a yearly 1.5x of (hashpower, difficulty, cost)
meaning 2022 they will need $330k
meaning 2023 they will need $500k
meaning 2024 they will need $750k
meaning 2025 they will need $1.125m
(without having to care about any tx fee bonus)

in 2024 each block changes from 6.25 to become 3.125
so 1btc would need to be $240k to achieve block reward of $750k

this means if the minimum onchain fee was 1sat/byte
and average tx was 250bytes
thats 250sat
with LN needing 2 onchain fee's to open then close so 500sat
0.5btc=$120k
0.005=$1.2k
0.00005=$12
0.000005=$1.20

so the very minimum and i mean minimum cost onchain to use LN from start to end is $1.20 a session

here is the thing though.
fee's are hardly ever 1sat/byte
the average is min 6 max 60
meaning $7.20-$72

people will just stop using bitcoin alltogether to make settlement transactions. if its going to cost $10+

after all.. imagine it.. what if paypal started charging people a monthly subscription of $10+ just to use paypal account for a month..  then micropenny fee once in. people will start using other fiat wallet services like venmo, cashapp, dwalla which have no subscription and no fees

bitcoin WILL NEED to increase its onchain transactions AND change to things like 10byte/sat to keep the onchain fee's low

any dev or altnet fangirl that thinks that bitcoin will still have purpose if it costs say min of $20 to use.. is in some fantasy land or they hope to kill bitcoin utility to force people to play on other networks.

LN is not the saviour of bitcoin.. its the segregation of bitcoiner and eventual displacement of bitcoin. because devs refuse to allow cheap utility on bitcoin..
bankers played this game over 100 years with gold-fiat and we all know how that ended.

8208  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Naming System / Alias Idea on: June 18, 2021, 06:24:43 PM
danny is right. which is why central DNS registry for invoices are dumb
                                         blockchain addressbooks for invoices are dumb


before even making an invoice that has a lengthy URI. and avoiding having that lengthy uri logged in some database for eternity. (centrally or distributed to all nodes)

a simply ping message. or a push message of simply a username can be used.
after all if he wants a third network that relays these invoice uri's to everyone and they then store it in a namecoin blockchain.. just remove the blockchain part. and just use the relay part.. simples

nodes dont need to keep everyones Uri. the relay just needs to pass a unique username to nodes and be recognised by the node that needs to see it. and then they send back their response to gain the handshake.
and once connected. then they can invoice and pay each other.
thus no invoice relayed openly and no database collection of invoices everywhere.

but here is the more simple idea.. diverting further away from rebels idea
bitcoin addresses are long. they found a solution
invoices are long.. but can be solved by same solution
. what is that solution.
.. QR codes.. or copy/paste
8209  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Naming System / Alias Idea on: June 18, 2021, 11:40:09 AM
my idea is a two stage process
instead of having to store validate and read some blockchain directory(another network)
instead of connecting to a central DNS directory

..
its have no directory.
instead you and someone else. agree on a shortname unique for that channel attempt
one person broadcasts out that name to the network. and they relay it around. and obviously the intended recipient gets it and responds to that shortnames IP with the other shortname. this travels back and they connect together and handshake. because they both recognised their responses.

if other hackers tried this they wont have the valid response to call back with. thus no handshake

why is this better then a blockchain directory
because a blockchain directory involved relaying shortnames and ips and channel uri PERMENENTLY where all nodes store it
my idea is not a store and not permanent but temporary relay. where the channel URI(coin address info) is not sent until the username handshake is complete

thus more private

it does not rely on any third party database(dns) nor third network
many already complain that having to be a bitcoin node and an 24/7 online LN node is too much. so also having then include a namecoin node is having 3 networks running. which is even worse

however just having a name peer-relay-message system resolves many flaws of having directories in blockchain or central dns format

New potential Covid treatment in the form of an "anti viral pill". So maybe there might be hope for people that are aging, obese, and chose not to get the vaccine when they end up in the hospital due to poor choices. US government is investing about 3 billion+ dollars into this pill, a large gamble, but hey, the world doesn't have a good treatment to Covid, as of yet.

Ivermectin and Remdesivir have shaky results.

they dont have a pill..
there is no "this pill"

they are now just getting investment to do research to find a pill
they found that immuno surpressants like the silly crap badecker advertises dont work. because surpressing the immune system too early means the virs gets to replicate. and doing it too late is.. well.. too late. so immuno surpressants are not good unless you can administer it at the exact moment.

also current antivirals-anti parasitics work great on guy viruses/parasites.
 but there is not really one that deals with lung based viruses. so they need to invent one

...
as for badeckers/tvbcofs foolish conspiracy notions. they are just idiots having no basic idea of how the world works
funny thing is they keep pretending US medical system is rigged.. and yet the whole world is having covid issues. so all those independant countries would show different results which would reveal US as rigged. however all independant countries are not showing any weird autopsy results.. and so some anonymous conspiracy idiot saying he found something unique and he the only one in the world but he cant reveal any proof of his claim because he doesnt want to be made public.. um.. sounds like a liar just trying to get famous
8212  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Coronavirus Outbreak on: June 18, 2021, 02:06:24 AM
seriously.
if a mortician done an autopsy but hid his findings from the medical board. that doctor should lose his licence no matter what the results are

so if you want to play games with your silly conspiracy sites saying an anonymous doctor found something odd.. but has told absolutely no one apart from a conspiracy site.. and offered no proof to anyone.
its very strange you automatically believe something with no proof from someone not proved to be having any experience in what they talk about. .. yet you deny other things that do have proof

. its more likely its not a real mortician but instead an idiot liar pretending to be a doctor but not wanting to supply any proof

real morticians would actually make reports of findings. no matter what. they have an oath.

i understand you believe your male masseuse has lied to you while roleplaying as doctor, lying about loving you and so broke your heart. i understand it must have been heartbreaking when he said he wont bubble with you when 2020 lockdown first began

but i dont see how you can now make up BS about the real medical system by believing ex-doctors that have retired and lied their way through getting paid on the convention speech tours.

i find it irrational how after 18 months you are ass-kissing liars rather than wanting to find the real truth
you seem very blind when it comes to your conspiracy sites influencers. you cant even use common sense to work out whats really happenening, you just use blind admiration for your conspiracy sites.

badecker has had 18 months to learn the basics. but instead just sticks to a conspiracy he read from 16 months ago where an inexperienced psychiatrist thought covid had not been looked at under a microscope nor sequenced

funny part is 15 months ago that idiot got debunked by masses of proofs that covid has been identified
even 8 months ago they got so great at identifying it they could tell which strain a person had and where it originated.. 'kent strain' 'african strain' 'brazil strain' and most recently 'indian strain'

heck they even looked at how it first got into america at east and west coast and seen the west cost strain came from china direct where as the east coast strain came from europe and then china before that

..
but nah badecker just wants to beleive some psychiatrist doing some mental test on idiots. a psychiatrist that never had any hands on first person experience of covid.

yep badecker spends 16 months beleiving some inexperienced psychiatrist. and denies thousands of independant lab scientists that have first hand experience of covid

..
if badecker was a rapist and left his fluids on his victim.. but then got arrested and dna profiled and charged and went to court and found guilty because the fluids on the victim matched badeckers DNA. got a verdict of guilty and given 30 years..
badecker would be the idiot spending 30 years claiming innocent/false imprisonment because he doesnt believe in DNA
he would never dare realise he got caught in a lie and fess up to his lie. he would stay in his stupidity and ignorance and deny he did anything wrong
8215  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Lightning Network -- Is it GOOD? on: June 17, 2021, 08:39:00 PM
To remain completely objective, it's healthy not to speak in absolutes when it comes to this sort of thing.  How services control use Lightning will dictate the level of centralisation/decentralisation you will experience.

if exchanges only accept channels of min of say 0.04btc($1600) means a hierarchy becomes default. where users of say 0.0025($100) have to be a couple hops out from centre where they have to attach to a hub to be only a couple hops away from a exchange, else end up 15+hops away and thus costing more fee's per hop to get to interact with an exchange


imagine an exchange handling say $1mill at any one time.
they wont want to have 10,000 channels of $100 users
                                   or 625 channels of $1600 hubs

once more popular
they would have probably 100 channels(to hubs) of $10k. whereby those 100 channels are hubs with 100 channels(to users) of $100

its the game theory of the '6 degrees of separation'. but in this case the 100 degrees of separation
well mathematically
                                local       region    world
                 user         hub         hub        hub
per channel 100    *   100    *   100   *   100    >exchange (manages $10b with users only being 4 hops)
                ($100)    ($10k)     ($1m)   ($100m)    
ascending value hierarchy cloers to main services = least chance of depleted funds /bottlenecks. bad routes

its pure network efficiency logic

yes people can have inefficient channels that cost them more hops "for independance".. but they end up having routes unavailable due to their 'random' hop model somewhere not having funds.
eventually people end up closing channels and reopening them in positions that offer more guaranteed utility

by default people wont close a session and reopen a session in the exact same position where they experienced higher fee's and more bottlenecks and rejected routes

its the reason why banks dont just have a central bank with millions of customers. they have bank branches in each town where the bank branch services that town. so that the bank HG only needs to daily settle the brank branch reserve

channels dont last forever.
unlike webaddresses that are registered for like a decade

so the downside of having a alias blockchain is everyone needs to store the blockchain even after names are out of date after a couple months.
so you might want to invent some prune method

having a dns server is more centralised and thus more risk of messing with the names

..
other ideas are not to have a public registry of
name=channel&IP

and instead just have 2 participants that make up 2 names
eg rebelofbabylon1433   and frank17331

so you broadcast frank17331:yourIP
everyone sees this but no one knows the required response.
so i knowing its meant for me. then IP connect to you with my response rebelofbabylon1433
so you get that and know its me.
after all everyone else wont know they are looking for rebelofbabylon1433 so you decline all connects trying to connect but not using your specific name

which is much the same as relaying namespaces in a alias blockchain. but without storing the names in a blockchain

so best of both words decentralised. but not archived

devs are in the process of making lightning 2.0 (layer 3)
its where you dont vault up funds into a channel. but instead deposit funds into a factory multisig
the factory then offchain creates channels below it in millisats.
so users cant broadcast, but can close session with the factory and so the factory aggregates the channel balances and recreates new channels to rebalance the channels.

thus even less onchain transactions as it wont require onchain broadcasts/settlement to close/reopen

but a lil code trick is implied that new transactions use a flag that basically says, accept it without validating it
and thus any transaction with this flag wont be validated.
This is wrong. There is no "flag".

..OPs (OP_0 and some arbitrary data that casts to true),

i say flag you say op code.  .. analogy=same thing. just different buzzwords

segwit transactions are blindly accepted because they use the "opcode" trick
happy now that im more grammatically friendly
even though the point is still the same
