seems a newbie is just copy/pasting an outdated article from pre2013

bitcoin mining is not done by PC's any more.
its firmware handled inside ASIC hardware

no point developing pc software for bitcoin mining.

please catch up because you are 8 years too late
your IT service must be fake or its an intro into a scam.. because your IT consulting business has not learned the basics

goodbye

we know you skilled a few lessons

ASICS do not touch transactions. dont calculate transactions. are not burdened by transactions
ASICS do the same job whether the block is full or empty.
transaction numbers mean nothing to asics

cost of mining is based on asic hardware and electric cost. NOT transactions

a tx complexity of validation is less than a couple miliseconds of one standard PC. so the 'cost' of computation is not even 1cent of electric.
if your electric is 6cents/kwh then a block of 2500tx is about couple seconds. so again not even 1 cent


again the transaction fee has no correlation to mining cost.

..
the fee is not about mining. its about auctioning space.
but instead of allowing more space to allow lower fee's
EG
1000tx at $2 =same as 4000tx at $0.50($2k=$2k)

the FAKE plan is 'we need to give more fee's to miners because the coin reward is depleting

again. allowing more transactions give this 'more fees' without stifling usage
the future should not be $4 average now $8 next halving $16next halving $32 next halving
it should be 2500 average tx now 5000tx next halving 10k tx next halving 20k tx next halving

and yes 4tb hard drive in will cover 2500tx (1mb) for 70 years
                                                    5000tx (2mb) for 35 years
                                                    10k tx(4mb) for 17 years
                                                    20k tx(8mb) for 8 years
a 4tb hard drive can handle 10k transactions a block for 17 years. by which time you would have upgraded your pc before then anyway. so its a non issue to cry that 10k transactions are too much

as for bandwidth
a ~ 500mb download a day(1-2node block repeat of 144 blocks + transactions)
=3.5mb every 10 minutes = .35mb a minute = 0.0058mb/s
even the most basic adsl offers more then that. it offers 0.5mb/s
so basic internet offers 100x more then download requirement to get blocks
(its why 12 years of data does not take 12 years. nor 1.2year. nor 1.5month)

as for uploading if your an open peer wanting to participate in the relay network.
average is ~10x that.. so still a 10x buffer..

meaning even on the most basic adsl connection. 8mb per 10min is not a problem
...

and please dont you even dare come back with a rebuttal that bitcoin is designed to work on a XP computer with 500gb hard drive. using dialup.. and saying anything above will kill the network
(as per your mantra in other topics)

.. the core devs have already said 4mb blocks are not a network killer. 4tb hard drives will not kill your debit card
ADSL wont break your twist dial oldy home phone
and devs have already said they will no longer support xp.vista aged systems

so knowing that bitcoin is supposed to function with windows 7+ computing,adsl(devs request) not XP, diaup(your 'conservative' lunacy request)
means you need to stop trying to say that bitcoin needs to be conservative to XP based hardware(per your other comments in other topics) because you beleive stifling(conserving outdated limits) is in bitcoins benefit

we already know that its not in bitcoins benefit. it makes less users want to use bitcoin.
less desire to use the blockchain is what will centralise the network more (common sense logic)
it only benefits the groups in control of sidechains and altcoins that can profit out of bitcoins limitations

again. realise that transaction counts per block do not affect the cost of mining.
if unsure get a ASIC and review its function. and realise transactions do not get processed by asics

in short
we should have moved to 5k plus average tx count per block 4 years ago and be at a 10k tx average block today.. meaning transactions should be ~2-4x less than now

i find it real funny

most of the math that make up 'stock to flow' metric is averaging a yearly price. .. of averaging a 10 day price
so when seeing the yearly average price line and then saying 'oh look there is a relationship to daily price'... OF COURSE THERE IS
the average is definitely going to be within a 5% deviation.. because the price is only on average 10% volatile (5%up or 5% down)


stock to flow is not predicting anything. its just reformatting a price into a new line thats not the daily price but an averaged price.. so yes ofcourse the line would be within limits of the daily price

if you use a true coin generation/circulation metric. that does not include a price average or any math including the price.. and then set that against the price.. then you wont see the same pattern or correlation

the reason for the S2F correlation vs daily price has nothing to do with coin generation/circulation amounts. and everything to do with the 'average price' math they added into the metric

OP creates a fantasy about cannibalism. wants people to discuss cannibalism and ends post saying whats the point of cannibalism

guess he opened and closed his own question in one post.

..
so lets tweak his fantasy question a bit.
a state where rules dont apply. complete 17th century 'new world' wild west paradigm..

the answer is slowly those with smart brains create civilised living and respect. and the outlaw idiots die out killing each other.. where civility becomes the surviving trait. not cruelty

technically its possible. but looks like administerally they just dont want to.
still worth a try asking

transactions dont use 'address' in raw data format. but keys.. meaning your kinda in luck. alls not lost

in short
ask localbitcoin to locate the private key for the BTC address you used.. import that btc private key into litecoin wallet so they have access to the ltc coins

and then send you the coins to a LTC address you want the refund
(or ask them to associate that ltc key as your localbitcoin deposit balance address)

nope. the actual reality is
someone deposited 8000btc into coinbase pro wallet
yep its a 8000btc movement not a dollar deposit
(dollar deposit=buyer)

maybe that someone sold some of those coins but not all.. however unlikely right now
coinbase pro's volume for the entire day of all traders is $127,627,412 = 2320btc
so that 8k hasnt been sold yet

coinbases daily trading volume average is ~$200m=~3600btc

so with there being an 8k btc deposit. expect either a sell off to a factor of 2-3x daily volume either quickly in one day or slowly over multiple days

..
heck the wallet movement may not even be a user.. it can just be a hot/cold wallet shift internally

chart in OP is meaningless

the colourful line is the daily prices...
the line is just the average of those prices

its not predicting anything

its just whole numbers and yearly averaged numbers

its not taking 2 different datapoints of 2 different metrics.
its just the same piece of data represented in 2 ways

sorry guys but its meaningless

your maybe 5 years behind in terms of false propaganda

china owns less than 20% of hashrate
ill leave you to spend the next 5 years catching up with facts

so what your saying public servants should not be held under scrutiny
.. and then you must be hinting its ok for cops to look into citizens bank accounts. but no one should look into cops bank accounts?

hmm

just goes to show that they do check things
and no one shot up the bad batch because of protocols and quality assurance checks were done at the ingredient processing part before its then formulated into a vaccine

it never even had a chance to become vaccines.

so atleast tash can now say he has been debunked by his own links

oh so its not longer a story:

so no longer about pill packed in police car.. but now pills before the arrest...
..
hmm so how come he was still alert and able to talk and spell his name and give date of birth and answer questions..

do you still not know how overdoses work

its funny how the video has been public for months.. the jury has already passed its verdict.. but you as a sofa jurer have a different story to tell that does not follow ANY ACTUAL EVIDENCE

by the way the medication packaging found in floyds sisters car was not fentanyl. and the amount of that other medication in his blood was not overdose amount. it was not even therapeutic/recreational amount

so heres some actual facts.. not stories
fentanyl levels in floyd were similar to those found in DUI stats. but not enough as postmortem stats
0=clean    9-12=DUI(alive)         18+=overdose(dead)
                  ^ floyd had 11
also those that overdose and die. dont have norfentanyl in their system as they die before fentanyl has chance to break down
floyd had norfentanyl in his system meaning he took fentanyl along time before the police approach. and had enough time for the fentanyl to break down(recover from peak of high)
so again no overdose risk

firstly.
china is not the old orient of rice paddy fields and samauri's
china has actually grown alot.
maybe you missed alot of history but china is the largest manufacturing industry in the world.. more progressive than america which is why america uses china for manufacturing

maybe you forgot other snippets of modern history. where america locks up mexicans and native americans and sterilises them
did you forget the native american sterilisation history

china is more wealthier then america
if you priced all goods and incomes based on a 'breadloaf' value or a price of fish value.
china value is way higher than america.

america hides this value by tweaking the exchange rate in dollars towards us favour
but if you look at true value and measure it against true gross product(PRODUCT NOT DOLLAR). china is already far ahead

america want to jump ahead with QE of creating a few more trillion out of thin air to further hide the true GDP in their dollar sinkpit
lets use a simple unit calculation
if chinese have a min wage of 18cny/h and america has a min wage of $7.50/h
then each cny would be 2.5x of a dollar
but the FX exchange wants to make it 8x diffrence between cny and dollar
.....
anyway. china has more autonomous zones than the US. and has progressed more in the last 30 years than america has in the last 60 years

maybe if you as a sofa jurer watched the video you could see for yourself. thats why not only the 'expert' words but the video itself are used

also he was handcuffed. so if you want to suggest he reached in his pocket upwrapped some packaging and put a pill in his mouth.. seems you dont understand handcuff logic much
also in full view of several police officers.. seems you dont understand visual logic

so.. lets see if you can watch the video. and actually see the events. and not make up 'maybe' stories
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjKjaCvXdf4

as you can see in the first 5 minutes he was conscious. talking. and alert enough to even spell his name and give his date of birth.
yes he seemed upset that he was being arrested for what he deemed as a victimless crime. but then who would be happy.
none of this displays any sign of someone that has overdosed.

also to your suggestion that he took something out and left it in the back of the police car.. well the cops frisked him and emptied his pockets before he got into the car

so. lets get things straight. look at the video linked above and actually tell me the specific times where your assertions occured

oh and one more thing. starting at 11:30. you can see chauvins LEFT knee hard on his neck. and right knee hanging in the air in his back area
i know you only want to talk about the right knee but be aware of the left knee

tribal africa always had high birth rates. .. but also high deathrates. hense the need for high birth to counter the deaths.
this was not about democracy. this was about modern medicine.. or lack there of
tribes needed warriors/farmers so need to expand. but tribal battles/disease/famine decreased population. hense more births needed

next came the foreign democracy. this put up borders to stop africans migrating out of africa. while africa internally lacked democracy to negotiate its way to freedom
yes africa still lacked democracy
so the lack of emigration out of africa added more 'growth' to the populous due to no escape to dilute it down

next came the influx of american/european nations colonising and displacing africans. leading to the
houses:population being pushed to its limits where it became a crises

then modern medicine allowed for a better survival rate. meaning population explosion as the birth:death ratio became unbalanced. but again not democracy.. but instead modern medicine

then came the colonial expansion of more displacements and then the land grabs and the political control from the colonials. and the the coups trying to fight back to get land back.
which has occured many times now . same game different face.

then came the african democracy. but still fighting over who should be leader of regions. who has the peoples voice. who has been corrupted by western greed.. more coups. more fights

with 2/3rds vote of the UN they are powerful
they get to temper down some over reaching policies of certain blocs of UN

they are not talked about at the UN in media. but then again the other blocs are not either. the media representation of the UN is independant states finding unity.

yes the large economic blocks of US/UK/EU have one agenda. but without the non-aligned movements general acceptance the US/UK/EU bloc cant really do much.

this makes the US/EU/UK bloc not create over reaching policies of control. and makes them have a few more morals and ethics if US/EU/UK want to get anything accepted into policy

yes there is bribery and corruption like 'donating' aid to non-aligned movement countries to sway there vote
yes some policies have slipped in that have hurt their nations. but overall without the non-aligned nations. there would have been far more bad policies passed.

they are not collaborating to over power the economic bloc. they are there to prevent the economic block overpowering them

its not perfect. but its something

the verdict has been passed. he is guilty...
debate over.

stop defending a cop that used excessive force.
the verdict has passed..

i had a bit of arm ache. not worthy of complaining about
kind of feeling like laying on your arm too long.

overdose is:
take the drug. go into a high instantly and slip into a coma.
yep thats how it works

its not
take a drug. and decide to go to a store and buy cigarettes and then walk to a car and sit in drivers seat
listen to some music while chatting to passengers, interact with cops, get out a car on his own feet and walk to the side walk. talked to the officers clearly and plead to not go into the back of the police car.
he was alert and pleading.. meaning it was not a drug induced overdose
https://youtu.be/VDd5GlrgvsE?t=162
as you can see.. clearly standing walking and talking. ..


...some people want to also argue that the claustrophobia thing is not real.
actually being in a front seat of your own car where you know you can open a door and be incontrol and you can see clearly out of the windscreen.. this is not the same as being handcuffed in a backseat where you cant open the back door and the windows are shut and tinted to not see clearly
and where the leg room of the back seat is restricted and a PVC+metal panel dividing the back/front means it can feel more like a prison/cage..(as police backseats are designed to feel like on purpose)

however the claustrophobia did not cause the death. it caused the need to remove him from the car.

being put onto the road should be to have a few seconds for the THREE officers to reposition themselves and at most put leg shackles on. maybe 30 seconds..

a knee in the back should not be something done for 9 minutes while cops just sit and do nothing.
a knee in the neck should not be something done for any minute while cops just sit and do nothing.

but lets say there was some vaguely stupid reason to knee the neck of someone for more then 30 seconds

a knee in the neck should not be continued when the person has gone silent
a knee in the neck should not be continued when someone is known to be unconscious
a knee in the neck should not be continued when an ambulance has been called
a knee in the neck should not be continued when the ambulance arrives
a knee in the neck should not be continued when the paramedic got out and was standing by the person

choking someone out for 9 minutes. is not police policy
choking someone out and continuing to choke out and not do anything to aid recovery. is not police policy

even chauvins boss and colleagues and specialist in police training are all saying what chauvin done is not policy

so accept it chauvin broke the law in a manner that caused someones death
accept the verdict is in.
accept that chauvin is guilty

UAFA and FIFA have become too monopolistic and are taking a huge cut of profits from every game just for being the 'regulator'

many teams want to break away and have a 'regulator' that is founded by the football teams and not some other business where none of the chiefs have kicked a ball in any official game

..
yes its about money. but its the same plan as a music artist wanting tos tart its own management company to avoid other management companies syphoning off the money for their plays

if football teams/music bands dont like their management company they should have the ability to set their own management company up and not have their income controlled by some stranger
