^^^ We got Covid and the vaxx from Fauci through some roundabout method like this.
Cool

you got covid and the vaxx

so you got vaccinated after all... well thanks for that admission.
now you can get on with your life and stop pretending your an anti vaxxer

neither god nor jesus wrote the bible.
people wrote it. with their own stories and 'accounts' of what they believe occured.

in short it was campfire stories which later got wrote down.
the essence of these stories is to learn ethics and morals. such as dont sleep around and get an STD

if the only thing badeckker learns from these stories is that some mystery man that didnt even write the book will forgive badecker for all his immoral and unethical acts by just being a fangirl to a mystery man he never met..

then badeckers religion has failed him. and he has failed his religion

I personally like the progress that Utreexo (a method of using Merkle trees to represent the UTXO set) is making, because it will among other things lower the amount of RAM you need to run a full node, specifically during the initial block download. It generates slightly more network traffic though, but that shouldn't be a problem for connections that are already ingesting several hundred GB of data anyway. The whitepaper is at https://eprint.iacr.org/2019/611 along with a short progress tracker on Bitcoin Optech.

no it doesnt
the PDF clearly states that UTREEXO wallets wont even store the blockchain(thus not full node). but will need bridgenodes to pass it shrunken down data in the form of 'forrests' of merkle trees.. to then allow the UTREEXO wallets to have a fast and low system resource intensive experience..

utreexo wallets are not going to be full nodes. but would like legacy/native full nodes to have extra code to translate full data into forrest merkles. to then send/pass this lesser data to the utreexo (lite)wallets
..
anyway. research topics of bitcoin.
network topology
from asics(no blockdata just hash calculating)
stratums(pools collate tx in blocks, makes hash for asics. check asics solution, sends solved blocks to fullnodes)
fullnodes(receive, validate and then pass on full data)
litewallets(leachers that get data in differing volumes but dont all store/relay that data out)

learning these true network layers helps understand the whole dynamics of the decentralisation efforts. aswell as understanding the power play within the network of how each layer influencers each other in regards to consensus changes. [the equilibrium between stratum full nodes and merchant full nodes]

to explain more detail

imagine its costing you say out of 17exahash (not accurate split of hashrate. pencil numbers for demo)
4.25exa US at 12c/kw  ($1.2mill a day electric)
4.25exa EU at 16c/kw ($1.6mill a day electric)
8.5exa china at 4c/kw  ($800k a day electric)

which pool do you switch off first
(i done the math using s9 asics.)

now imagine you switched out s9 for s19pro
and you can have
4.25exa US ($723k electric)
4.25exa EU ($964k electric)
8.5exa china ($241k electric)

you no longer need to earn $3.6m(100btc(16 blocks)) to break even with world wide coverage using S9
instead you only need to $1.8m(56btc(9 blocks)) to break even world wide with s19pro

.. separate scenario. which can explain the lack of america block solvers in scenario pool above

infact. if you just switch off US and EU. you only need to earn 1 block to break even.
yep have 8.5exa in china and only need 1 block to break even.. easy.
or have say 13exa in china and switzerland and only need 2 blocks to break even

so why run american stratums knowing that its costing those miners more than they are earning

remember on average electric prices of america.. its about a break even threshold of about $35k a btc to mine and break even.
if price goes below $35k a btc then its not worth it to mine in america
8266  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Massive drop in Hashrate (50%) ~100 ExH/S on: June 09, 2021, 08:10:47 PM
China is getting serous banning crypto mining farms, will take 10-15 days to go up again

not a china ban
but a upgrade of miners and keeping hashrate down to avoid a difficulty jump

they dont want the difficulty to be 50% higher than this time last year
they are trying to keep it below 20Trillion

..
and at time of writing this. i just checkede a couple pools.
and the funny part is.. the pool 'btc.com' yesterday (17exa) had a equal amount of china/eu/us stratums finding blocks. but today(13exa). EU/US have not submitted any blocks
meaning china was still mining but EU/US has not been mining

there are some people with confirmation bias on both sides

some people are bias and OVER promote bitcoin to the point of fantasy.
some people are bias and demote bitcoin to the point of ignorance

some people are bias towards an altcoin/altnet. so promote their tokenised crap as being the best, while demoting bitcoin.

heck there are even people that pretend to be bitcoin fans. but then promote side networks and alt networks that dont even have a blockchain.

and even after 4+ years of their altnets not really working.. they will continue their confirmation bias that their network is the best thing.

.. the trick is.. while you cannot change their minds.. whenever they promote their fantasy story. you have to correct them. not for their benefit. but for their readers benefit so that their readers dont get recruited into the fantasy

basically stop the infection of confirmation bias spreading

yes bitcoin only used in remittance as the transfer vehicle between dollar exchangers.. is a complete gimmick
real adoption is the allowance to buy goods/services/pay bills/debts/courtfines using a new currency.

if its just swapping a western union database for a blockchain. but then still having dollar at both edges.. its just pure gimmick for sake of "#president #bitcoin #economy-woke"
8270  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Tonga May Be The Next Nation To Adopt Bitcoin! Madness! on: June 09, 2021, 06:59:14 PM
'adopting bitcoin'
vs
'allowing bitcoin as a remittance vehicle'

are two different things
if its just used for remittance. then most people dont care if its a western union database or bitcoin. all they see is fiat at both ends.

true adoption is the ability to buy produce/pay bills using a different currency
8271  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 'El Salavador' could impose national TV display BTC price in dollars all time on: June 09, 2021, 06:54:43 PM
el salvador never used to put western union transfer costs in the corner of every TV show. so dont expect them to be promoting bitcoin in such a manner

although it seems like a big news story.. when you think of the fundemental methods. it might end up being cheaper than using western union. but when you think about it as:
US worker $-->btc
ELsalv family btc->$

its not really any different. the physical paper dollar still ends up at both ends. the only change is the service in the middle.
which is just a change from western union. to some other exchange.

so. run some scenarios of worker in america. family in el savador. and you will see end to end nothing has really changed

the exchange in the middle. will end up needing to have the same money service licenses as western union. still need to ship in and out reserves of dollar to pay out paper money to el salvador. and ofcourse the fee's to cover their service charges.

you might see some new names of money remitters offering the service. but fundementally not much would change as most familys on the receiving end only care about getting the dollar out to then buy food/rent

as long as this activation does not include code/rule to only accept a new flag number/version number block then no hardfork/no mandatory split will occur.. thankfully
so far no plans to do so.. thankfully this time

as usual and has always been the case
blocks that dont meet the rules of validation get rejected as standard.
as gmax said

meaning and as already said in previous posts.
(unupgraded nodes blindly accept new tx formats)

the only fork risk is if non-upgraded nodes blindly accepts a duff(bad/error/invalid) block which a upgraded node rejects as part of normal consensus.
 
and the unupgraded node is continually getting new blocks that build ontop of the duff block.
but this is like a below 0.0025% chance of occuring. and only affects that small percentage of users in that case. so not a 5% or 50% risk. but a 0.0025% risk. and only to those in that small group

meaning an igornant/intentional pool and a few nodes solely peered to it, will have to intentionally build ontop a duff block for them to make their own altcoin
8273  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: FBI says it recovered $2 million in Bitcoin Ransomware payment... How? on: June 08, 2021, 08:27:21 PM
the answer is in the headline

they traced the WALLET. not the address

meaning they didnt brute force the address. they instead dont other things to locate the software of the human ransomer.
then they simply sent funds from that wallet to the FBI seizure address

knowing the specifics of how they traced the WALLET are not important. but the fact that it was via the WALLET of the ransomer is revealing enough

power consumption:
since 2014 mining farms set out purposefully to house their farms in area's of renewable. not just for electric power deal discounts but for many other reasons
many people stupidly quote 2021's consumption at over 120tw/y but this is using silly assumptions that the entire network is run using 2019 s9 hardware...

so attacking the power consumption assumption is easy.

the issue of the false 'power consumption assumption' is not that its just wrong. its that its wrong and yet so many people have been pushed into believing it.

the hardest task is going person to person to rectify the error of their now formed opinion
a formed opinion is harder to rectify once formed. even if the evidence is available to debunk it


the bad assumption:
140exahash all day every day all year
s9 asics at 14thash and 1.4kwh
=127tw/y

the rebuttle:
funny part is that bitcoin never stays at 140exa hash all year..
for the last year its been an increment from 100exa this time last year
so thats a ~ 20-40% error

also s19pro asics at 110th and 3.25kwh presents as being
30w/th
where as s9 asic at 14th and 1.4kwh presents as being
100w/th
so thats a upto 300% error rate

actual estimates by looking at some pools 'workers' and understanding the ratio of asics used. and doing daily math of actual hashpower used puts bitcoin at more likely a 40tw/y utility

and yes china electric consumption of all industries and citizens is 7500. meaning if all internation bitcoin miners were in china. thats not even 1% of china's capacity.
8275  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Bitcoin will not make it... on: June 08, 2021, 07:55:46 PM
you dont need inflation to force people to spend for it to trickle up to the elitists

bitcoin is following the elitist gold deflation game

the real trickle up tool. is to make the asset harder to use as a medium of exchange (fees/service acceptance) and then offer them an alternative medium of exchange that the little minnows will happily play with

banks used paper bank notes. central services will offer altnet pegged tokens

in the end the real asset is vaulted up in contracts with the elite service and smalltime users are playing with token gestures

research the gold-backed dollar history for the game play
it still works for banks 200+ years later

although your friend owns the land. they do not own the air
anything like a shadow on a neighbours land or fallen branches or stuff like that is your friends problem

such as if the neighbour had solar panels but a tall tree in your friends land is over shadowing the neighbours panels. means your friend has to top the tree down

same is said about making house extensions. although its on your friends land. if the extension reduces your neighbours view. they have the right to complain.

what is a state of law is the LAND. so moving the boundaries is a big no no. so if a neighbour is doing so. then you can sue them to rectify that.
but of course that means getting land surveyors out to calculate the boundary lines to prove such has occurred

as for neighbours harassing/blackmailing the friend to hand over land/property. that is a crime. again needs some proof. like a voice recording or a video recording of such communication.

in short. if the tree needs to be topped. it will be topped.
as for the harassment and land ownership blackmails/disputes. get some proof and sue them.

not suggesting it. but . if the friend knows the boundary lines. they could themselves move it a bit. and then say the neighbour done it. eg before and after pic.
(its like some who punch themselves in the face to get others in trouble...)

8279  Other / Politics & Society / Re: why revolutions and movements fail at their desired outcome on: June 08, 2021, 09:06:28 AM
you were talking about the reaction to the boston tea party(342 boxes of tea thrown in the sea)
britain did send more tea and stil demanded more taxes. which even you noted as the intolerant acts

thats where your first  story ended

funny thing is. the response was not britain going to america with placards and picnic blankets.
they made LAWS as their reaction (yep laws change things more then placards).. but not positive laws that helped america.. negative laws (hint protests dont work)

what you will see is that part of the intolerable acts was to have the british parliament make acts to 'own' the ports and demand payment further. basically you wont get your tea unless you pay the tax first.
(1774:£9k = 2020: $1m)
ill call this the tax blackmail part of my summary of 'demand more tax'
and then they sent tea via other methods
ill call this the bait and switch part of my summary of 'send more tea'

ill concede and explain my summary better in regards to bait and switch.. it was no longer britain -> india->britain-> america during this march+1774 event of the intolerable acts
where britain bought tea from india. india sent tea via britain to america. via official channels

but instead britain-> india->'pirates'->america
you got to remember america still got tea from 'east india tea company' (aka britain) but just not the official way
but britain (parliament) still fought for taxes from that tea journey coz they 'own the ports'
hint: most 'pirates' were british. indian tea company was british empire owned thus still britain sending tea
(but shhh, dont tell the colonists)

.. and just to add a lil more salt to the tea..
when britain sent the new acts to america. they sent it with tea and there 30 boxes of tea also got dumped
but hey now im really knit picking details.

hense my summarising 'britain still sent tea and demanded taxes'
maybe i should have explained ELI-5 rather than to ask to look deeper. i just thought some people would look deeper and connect the dots

anyway.
throwing 342 boxes off 3 boats oct 1773. did not win america any favours. so the 'protest' didnt help
what did help is the petitions and legal stuff .. but it seems we are skipping ahead of where you are at in your research
so ill slow down, and try to not summarise too much.
but the american response in september 1774 of forming congress petitioning the monarchy led to britain conceding in feb 1775 and reducing their handling and demands on america.. but it seems im skipping ahead
ill wait for you to catch up to all the dots that led to
concillatory resolution oops i mean 'response to the petition of the monarchy'
[spoiler] it was not 342 boxes of tea dumping=war/peace.
8280  Other / Politics & Society / Re: why revolutions and movements fail at their desired outcome on: June 07, 2021, 11:36:27 PM
the boston tea party events. were not where britain responded to the citizens of placard waving protests.. but instead the US government sending the british monarchy a petition (protest/resolution)

this is the legal method that got the British government to listen to the American government

What you're saying directly contradicts the consensus among historians.

There was no listening to the Colonists by the British.  Instead they passed a bunch of oppressive laws in hopes to force them into submitting known as The Intolerable Acts:

Quote
The Intolerable Acts (passed/Royal assent March 31 – 22 June 1774) were punitive laws passed by the British Parliament in 1774 after the Boston Tea Party. The laws were meant to punish the Massachusetts colonists for their defiance in the Tea Party protest in reaction to changes in taxation by the British Government. In Great Britain, these laws were referred to as the Coercive Acts.

The acts took away self-governance and rights that Massachusetts had enjoyed since its founding, triggering outrage and indignation in the Thirteen Colonies. They were key developments in the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War in April 1775.

thats the entertainment newpaper headline version of events.
if you dig a lil deeper. it wont take you long

so. REAL history is
citizens and Whigs threw boxes in the sea. britain sent more boxes and demanded more taxes..
^summary of where your post ends
then
13 colonies got together and formed the first session of congress and petitioned the monarchy
then parliament backtracked

as you can see. if you tried reading things in time line order
citizen protests done nothing. as you say parliament ignored the teabox soaking events.. and just punished that defiant act..

thus proving citizen protests dont do crap.. but cause more issues(my point all along)

but then when forming congress and petitioning the monarch.. then things changed.
but seems you ended your post before you got to that part of the story

it is a lil funny how your version of events stopped at the tealeaf soaking and intolerable acts part... and you refrained from including any of the things about congress petitions to monarchy and other things.

but hey if you think throwing 3 ships load of tea boxes into the sea was the only and sole cause of a civil war. maybe your missing a few pieces of critical info in the middle

also funny how you feel the teaparty event of soaking tealeaves in the ocean caused positive change of laws.. whilst admitting that it was the opposite and ignored and caused a war instead.. which just sounds like flipfloping to me..

try to concentrate on the legal stuff happening behind the popularist new media of entertainment news about getting tealeaves wet as a form of protest
