or less complicated maths. so you get relax and get to sleep without a headache
(7-9hours=average Cool
there are 3x8hours in a day

people sleep 8 hours a day which is ~1/3rd of a day
divide your age by 3 and thats how much time you spend sleeping

no need to stress yourself at night counting the hours.
just do 24/3 to workout the hours of sleep per day
365/3 to work out  the days asleep per year
age/3 to work out the years asleep per age

i hope you can sleep better now that you dont have to do such lengthy math

hal? you mention hal?

CSW was not even involved in bitcoin during 2008-2011
wake up to the lies

franky, you should take the time to comprehend what it is your reading before using it as an excuse to go off on somebody.

OP clearly said he does not believe CSW is Satoshi... no need to talk down to him.

the insinuation is there. by even making it a 'if' question. and also by trying to link hal..
eve satirically. but even mentioning an IF shows the OP is reading down a certain passage of story.

i was just trying to clearly point out and remove any 'if' or insinuation or link to hal
i simply clarified CSW origin story did not even begin in in the 2008-2011 era of satoshi and hal.

CSW and klieman era origin story began in 2013

as to the reason CSW wants fame.
because he does not understand hard work or innovation. he only understands popularity as his effort to make money.
speaking roles has always made him money. consultant/public speaker..
he is not an inventor/producer/worker.

he scammed many people with his words and is in soo deep crap that he has to go loud and public to try keeping his scammed people off his back

he thinks because he has no private key proof. he thinks media proof is all thats needed.
EG
'im an inventor because magazine words said i am'
all its doing is delaying the inevitable

he wants to use media articles as his SLAPP defense as proof of his stature, to then sue other people for calling out his fraud.
its now not a game of winning cases.its a case of keeping people locked up in lengthy court cases for years costing them soo much money they give up their claim or pay him to settle
he cant win on facts/proof alone. so he has to force slapps to break the opposition

if he loses publicity/stature.. he loses
8963  Other / Politics & Society / Re: EU Told to Back Vaccine Passports or Google May Do It Anyway on: February 27, 2021, 11:27:33 PM
seems we have a conspiracy nut..

ok
well some facts
for decades government has used the social security number as both a government id and also a tax number and a social benefits number.

what you dont realise is that when it comes to healthcare. EU healthcare does not use social security number. people have a medical patient number.

vaccines, doctors appointments, are on a completely different system to social security numbers
they dont ask for social security numbers

passport numbers are another separate database. they dont ask for social security numbers
driving licence numbers are a separate database. they dont ask for social security numbers

to create a united database of a single ID whereby all government info and all health info are linked would take years.
its not something that is going to be implemented to be used by 'vaccine passport" or the normalisation plan of may-august 2021

and from the looks of it the government are not even going to implement it.

there is no biometric government ID+healthcare 'passport' that will link everything together and allow freedom of access to flights by 2021. and it appears there wont ever be.

in short people can get on a plane now and fly. they can get on a plane in a few months and fly.
the difference is that if you want to avoid a 'quarantine hotel' in a few months. you have to show that you are clear of the virus. this is in 3 DIFFERENT ways
1. covid negative test before and after departure
2. show the vaccine certificate
3. show you recovered from covid

the vaccine certificate is not some government ID. its just a piece of paper you get after a vaccine.. its basically a receipt. it has no leather cover. no photo. no address. it doesnt do anything but show you had a vaccine

but you dont need that. you can use other ways to show that you are able to fly healthily without affecting other passengers. (as noted 1.3)

in previous years i flew alot.
last year i didnt. not due to any government fears. but due to not wanting to be in a metal cylinder with hundreds of other people sharing their breath for multiple hours.

when i get vaccinated and im sure the other passengers are vaccinated too. ill be happy to fly again without the risk of a cesspit of covid breathe surrounding me.

if google or microsoft or apple or IBM have a database that requests people to record their vaccine receipt. and passport number is in no way the same things as ID2020 conspiracy

having a system that has linked your plane ticket to your vaccine does not mean they know your whole medical record or that you had a few speeding tickets or that you owe some tax

take your tin foil hat off,
just admit. you fear getting on a plane because of covid. and not because of your delusions of government implementing things that are not even implemented.
teach yourself the reality of why you dont want to get on a plane right now. because its not id2020 because we are in 2021 and there is no government ID and there wont be in 2021

hal? you mention hal?

CSW was not even involved in bitcoin during 2008-2011
wake up to the lies

CSW came across bitcoin in about 2013.. a complete newbie and no connection to bitcoin. he then made a file of loads of public keys that anyone can grab. because the addresses are on the public blockchain.
he also grabbed the public signature of a certain transaction. yep its all public information. anyone can do it.

he pretended he invented something to get some fake fame and fake collateral

he duped or colluded with another guy called kleimen. and said that the list of public addresses is proof of his holdings and the public signature is the proof of ownership of holdings.

he never had a private key(s). he never actually mined or held the coins.

he then scammed other people into his lies and they financed him. he also set up some companies and sourced government grants and tax credits using the scammed public file as collateral.
the australian government and the scammed investors are after him trying to get their justice.

he then got other investors to help with his legal costs promising them they will get their returns in the forms of settlements from his SLAPP lawsuits he wants to pursue. and his book/movie/story deals he will do in the future

his current slapp case with klieman estate is just a bait case used to delay previous legal actions against him (australian government and initial investors to his first ponzi)

now you should be upto date

any questions?

As I thought, no evidence for safety, or comparison of with the many nutritional and other, simpler medicines that work better, safely.

paracetemol has been around for many many decades. but it is not a cure for a gunshot.
it wont prevent gunshots

a malaria drug that handles parasites in the gut wont help virus in the lung

they tried it. it didnt work. people are still getting severely ill, needing to be intubated and dying. if there was a cure they would have used it

The US is hardly a free market and Trump is hardly a libertarian..

Open boarders? Hell yes!!
Just have to completely stop ALL forms of welfare first Smiley
ALL

Is that possible?


They will vote for open boarders and all the welfare/free shit they can get their hands on..
They don’t care about what’s best for the future of the country, they just selfishly care about what’s best for them RIGHT NOW..

more people living in a city means more people buying food means more people needed to replenish the shelves of food=more jobs.

the failure is not in letting people in. its in letting businesses pay less wages/employ less staff/let businesses set up far away from their homeland

its that analogy
gov invites society to a cookie handout where there is 100 cookies. inviting 50 people promising 2 cookies each
30 corp guys turn up and get 3 cookies each. (leaving 10 cookies left)
18 citizens and 2 immigrants turn up
gov hands the immigrants 2 cookies each as they are starving
gov tells the citizens that they cant have their promised 36 cookies.. and point towards the immigrant as the immigrants eating 4 cookies.

when you learn that making new cookies to feed everyone is just a flick of a switch. dont blame the small % that get cookies because they need it. blame the corps that dont need. but love to have more then they deserve. and blame the gov for not offering enough cookies, even when they are in full control of cookie making
8970  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Very high fees - bitcoin fails on: February 27, 2021, 08:49:04 AM
devs 2015 promise was new BITCOIN code to make bitcoin fees go back to sub penny prices.
instead they 4x legacy to make it appear their new code was cheaper(false pledge complete). meanwhile their new code increased from pennies to dollars and legacy increased even further using their multiplier.

this was not 'a make fees cheaper game' after all. it was a make old code more expensive to promote utility of new code.

this whole game of making bitcoins fee's go up is purely done to advertise other networks users should use instead that are not as secure. dont even have a blockchain. dont even have a network wide verification system. but do offer cheap fees.

its the old. dont transact with gold as thats expensive to handle. lock it up in our vaults and we will let you play with bank notes in our new banking system.

..
if a government in 2015 said they know a 1% sales tax was alot for bananas and they will make new gov policies to get that down
then in 2017 they instead made the plain banana tax 4% while offering a new govbanana brand at 1%. saying look our new govbanana is 4x cheaper.. would you buy it and accept they fulfilled their promise.
no?.. of course not

what if they then wanted you to stop handling plain real banana's and instead lock them in veg warehouses. and and play with millibanana's on a vegan only virtual market. where the millibanana transactions were 0.001% whereby you also need warehouse managers permission to get your real banana's out when you dont want to play anymore.

i personally just want my real plain banana to be able to be traded at 1% or under again.. not this gaming stuff that is trying to imply real banana's should not be held.. as thats how the gold:bank-note game was played in the 1900's. and we all know why we moved to bitcoin to escape bank-note game
8971  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin activity now uses more energy than all of Argentina on: February 27, 2021, 08:34:51 AM
Articles that benchmark this way aim for more clicks to make the headline interesting but not new.
Bitcoin carries a market with a capacity of about a trillion dollars and the network needs energy to ensure its continuity.
Mining equipment uses clean energies and can easily be converted to zero emissions in a short time unlike many other energy-consuming things.

yes the article is clickbait and people like badecker fall for it.
anyway, for clarity:
bitcoins market does not have a trillion dollar capacity.
bitcoins market price is based on the current price of bitcoins single trade at a single time
the market cap is just a multiplication of that single trade at single time. there is no huge bank account holding $1 trill

my 'valuation' of bitcoin is never based on the 'market cap' (empty multiplication of no meaning)
my valuation of bitcoin is on the underlying value. how much money is being spent to secure the network and mine coins. because no one will sell a coin for less than it cost to mine/obtain. and no one would mine if its easier to just buy. so a true value baseline of substance and support is in the bottomline mining cost
($21k a coin=(meaningless marketcap multiplier value of $391b for those still loving cap values))

..
that said.
most major mining farms have contracts with utility companies. they do not buy out the domestic/residential supply allotment. instead they buy out the 'excess' electric. the difference between how much electric capacity a company can produce vs how much is actually used(capacity:supply:utility. 3 different things).

yep electric companies usually have a capacity of 120, supply say 110 constantly, where by the actual utility is only97. whereby normally that excess 13 goes to waste. unpaid for
bitcoin mining farms buy into that 13 with a contract of constant need/utility.
this then gives electric companies 13% profit for doing nothing more then pumping out what they always do. they can use this money to buy more generators(increase capacity potential above 120) or keep the generators working without having to turn off because they are even more profitable just to let it flow.
so everyone is happy

bitcoin miners have set their farms to only increase their hash by 1-5% periodically. because they dont want to shoot themselves in the foot spiking the difficulty.  but they also upgrade the farms hardware where the electric efficiency per hash gets better. so that the 1-5% hash increases periodically are not even 1-5% electric increases.

last point to make
bitcoin miners if all farms moved to argentina. then yes there wont be enough 'excess' contractable capacity for all of them. and yes in that situation they would be then eating into residential utility and causing brownouts.
..but mining farms are distributed across many countries. so each one is snipping only small chunks of individual countries 'excess'. thus not even harming the residential utility, but instead helping electric companies expand their capacity
8972  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin being branded as a 'Meme' by Mainstream Media Manipulators on: February 27, 2021, 08:09:28 AM
It would be interesting how many of these teens and early 20s are actually buying a portion of BTC but I don't think they have the numbers to reverse this bullrun since institutions and platforms like Paypal or Visa are still the main market drivers.

??dont think they can reverse the bull run??
the bull snared its horns on the 21st of feb at $58k. when bitcoin was at a 2.7x of speculative bubble above underlying value. since then it seems like the bears are on the field now.
the big players got their beef dinner. now its time for them to thank the chef and go home and take a nap.
big players dont advertise their investment interest before the deal is done as the advert would end up costing them higher prices.. so its always a buy first advertise later. then sell at the peak
yep many think its a form of pump and dump. but thats business
a true manipulative pump and dump is not jst the pump. but the dump. and whenthey advertise a sudden dislike for something they just promoted. that the dump.
(secret is they want the dump because they already sold and want the prices dwn to get back in at a lower price for more later profit)

also the main bitcoin open markets are not where most of the big players play.
just look at the markets, the market order lines are usually way under 0.1btc a line. not really holding enough volume collectively to be able to have some big player buy 50,000 coins in one month. without causing big impact
big players use private OTC services to get the big hoards. yes this ripples down to later affect the public markets. but is not a direct impact when they initially buy
by the time the markets react to a big player. the big player has already finished

its actually the small players affected by drama and speculation pushing price up. and also some smart veteran traders with bots programmed to recognise trends to play the waves.. and just go on a buying spree when prices are at under 1.3x underlying value and go on a sells spree when over 2x
so yes the teens/early 20's can affect the prices. because they are the main speculators on public markets that cause this volatile speculation due to news of events that finished days before it was news
big player elon bought his 50k btc in otc services in december..(no price drama)
millenial speculators bought small 0.1btc's on public markets afterwards collectively, reacting to news after the event
causing the jan/feb bull.
but that speculation has died down.

sensible investing is about knowing what you are investing in
if you dont have time to learn. then stay away if you dont know the industry

but dont fear learning something new
if your into IT. you do not have to stick with that industry for the rest of your life
be confident to learn new things. just be confident you have learned enough to understand it before investing

some IT nerds know programming. but have no clue about shares, assets, investing. but think just because they know programming it will get them huge riches in bitcoin.
many have lost alot this way.

its not to say nerds should not trade bitcoin. its just to say learn more about it beyond your coding speciality. learn about assets, trading and risk management

an s19 is 95terrahash at 3.25kw an hour
bitcoin hashrate is 165,000,000terrahash
thats 1,736,842 asics
which is 5,644,736kw an hour

argentina households on average use 1.2kw an hour(a tv, light, frigefreezer, aircon combined exceed1.2)
so thats about 4.7million houses..
average argentina house uses 29kw a day=1.2kwh


so unless argentina has only 4.7 houses. and no additional businesses, factories, street lights..
then badecker and his sources have got the numbers wrong

yep bitcoin uses FAR LESS than argentinas electric consumption.
yep even far less than just the domestic residential use

badecker is known to take out dated articles. where those articles have already been debunked by not doing their own research thoroughly

so ill say it again. bitcoin uses far far less then argentinas residential electric and far far far far far less than total electric
8975  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: question on empty block mining economy on: February 27, 2021, 01:16:47 AM
1. Time for the first completed block to be propagated from the miner that "solved" it, to the pool that miner was participating in, to the pool that will solve the second block, to the miner that will solve that second block.
2. Differences in clock time between the two pools that build the two blocks.
3. Time for the second pool to verify the first block, and then build the second block.
4. Any alterations made to the timestamp in the process of solving the second block.

not quite.
pools create the block and the datahash of the block. they only send the hash to the miners and miners only send a hash back that represents the solution with the correct amount of leadings zeros
ASICS do no store block data. they only receive. process and send hashes. nothing more

here is where the real efficiences are in empty blocking.. first lets show what takes the time.
1. most pools wait for opponents solved block to then confirm that block.
2. remove those confirmed tx from the mempool to know whats leftl in mempool is unconfirmed tx
3. grab transactions from mempool to ensure their new attempt only has unconfirmed transactions added.

by doing 'empty block' pools can skip all 3 steps and just make a block using just the opponents hash without even bothering to confirm the block or the tx content
this can save minutes.

opposing pools do treat blocks as valid based on fastest first to be valid gets kept. but this is based on received time into the node not timestamp time of the block.
if timestamp was even a thing. pools would just put a time stamp 20minutes earlier each time and win. even if it took them 22 minutes to complete

^^^ Got any proof that Covid was the trigger? Could have been influenza, or pneumonia. Since the CDC lumped them all together, got any proof?

your first nonsense was that doctors just put covid on a death certificate.
it took you 11 month to realise that death certificates are filled with many items including the list of symptoms that lead to their death.
the covid deaths do not list gunshots. fights,knifewounds diabetic amputations or due to other causes.. because non covid deaths are deaths due to other causes
they do however list the symptoms and attributes and co-morbidity details that cause the covid illness to worsen

people with influenza due to other causes are not listed on that list. just like gunshots and knifewounds and poisons and any other dang thing unrelated to covid. because doctors actually run tests scans, diagnose. they dont just have 2 options they randomly pick.they actually diagnose

you really have to try to learn things and not displaying yourself for 11 months as proof of how ignorant you are. we got that display 11 month ago. no need to repeat it
emphasis: stop wasting 11 months of your own time trying to prove your ignorant.
you have had 11 months to try learning. dont waste any more time on your own ignorance
8979  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do you think COVID19 is a scam? on: February 26, 2021, 06:45:49 PM
Since it was the CDC that said that the 94% died of comorbidities,

people have diabetes for decades. but having covid and diabetes makes the covid trigger far worse.
if they didnt have covid that week they would have survived. even while still having diabetes
the covid caused their mortality, it was complicated by their diabetes which made it easier for them to die from covid.

the CDC says 6% of people died without other issues.. this proves that covid doesnt just kill people already with illnesses but also some without any underlying issues aswell
it proves that getting covid while already having underlying issues is more fatal

there are other things. like people with dementia dont follow social restrictions because they cannot remember. so they get higher doses of virus.. then when needing nasal canular air support they get confused and pull off the canular and try moving around while not being oxygenated enough to have the energy. this wears them out. so its still not demenia that killed them. its the covid that killed them with complications due to dementia. again if they just had dementia and not covid. they would have lived.

its not stating they died due to other issues.
there is no listing of diabetic leg amputation. no listing of diabetic cataracts being the cause. because they covid deaths are not listing people that died due to diabetic causes. because they didnt die due to that.
emphasis. no one having a diabetic leg amputation that then died of blood loss will be on the covid list
emphasis. no one with dementia that commits suicide will be on the covid list
its the covid symptoms exacerbated by their underlying issue.
EG if covid causes lung blockages via pneumonia fluid.
then even if it lists things like respiratory failure, hypoxia or heart failure. you have to look at the cause that triggered it within the last month.
doctors do ask the question would they have lived if they didnt have covid
pneumonis and hypoxia and respiratory failure and finally heart failure. dont happen by magic

without going into the facepalms of people buying fiat shares of a company rather than an underlying asset it manages.

coinbase is already regulated. but hopefully going public can actually make connecting a coinbase account to a customers bank account more friendly as it seems more legit being on the public listings. which would be a plus.
coinbase would then be less likely to just do a 'we gotz hackz'd' like previous exchanges. another plus

but apart from that. i think it will just be a 'famous for 5 minutes' media speculation at IPO day
