plagurism isnt just copying something from elsewhere, without linking source..
because even theymos has mentioned the bitcoin whitepaper wording without linking source.


its actually where you treat it as your own work for your own gains at a cost of duping people into trusting your credibility via the things you copy.

EG if you promoting a dogecoin scheme. pretending you created dogecoin. but your not actually the creator. then this can leave some readers falsly trusting your experience/credibility.

there is nothing wrong with you talking about any topic or mentioning the bitcoin white paper for instance. but if you start saying you wrote the bitcoin whitepaper. then there is a problem.

yes many browsers are getting bloated these days.
https://community.brave.com/t/ram-usage-is-off-the-charts-why/166568
Quote
I’m finding that Brave is chewing up 15 to 20 GBs of RAM, and that’s without anything streaming. And the biggest culprits are:
GPU Process at 5.6 GBs & 42% CPU
Browser at GBs @ 22% CPU

So that means the browser alone & the GPU process are eating nearly 8GBs of RAM, without any pages open using video or anything much. Why is this so very, very high? By the way, I do have Hardware Acceleration turned off, as well.
Is 8 Gigs supposed to be the base level of Brave? I thought Brave is supposed to use LESS RAM than most other browsers. What am I missing here?
I’m using the latest version 1.14. 84
On a Mac with 40 GBs of RAm

Wow! Trump's investigations of election fraud are causing investigators all over the place to find all kinds of criminal activity in government going on.

Quote
Specifically, Waldron told One America News that Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske, a Republican no less, forwarded personally identifiable voter information in the form of actual voter rolls to Pakistan-based firm Kavtech, a business intelligence company that has close ties to the ISI, or Pakistan’s crack intelligence agency.

what you actually find is that an anti-fraud company 'true the vote' purposefully sent an email to the nevada state admin asking for registrant data.. and asked them to reply to them with an email link. but where that email link had purposefully been baited by adding a '?cc=' call after so that it adds a carbon copy to another recipient

in short the antifraud company purposefully wanted to have an email cc to someone else as their 'test' to see if the nevada state admin would spot their test and remove the cc.
the nevada state admin didnt spot it and so the email went through. and so the anti-fraud group then informed the nevada group of their mistake

in no way was it where the kavtech group hacked election machines
in no way was it anything to do with election machines
it was not kavtech
it was 'true the vote' that baited the nevada state

funny part is that 'true the vote' antifraud group actually performed a attack and were the perpetrator of the email getting to kavtech because they organised the email reply link to use.

its like a cop putting cocaine in someones pocket and later doing a stop and search on that same person. and because the victim didnt check his pockets to remove dispose of the cocaine before being stopped, suddenly the victim is treated like a criminal

Understanding the Risks of Cryptocurrencies
Bitcoin was born with the principle of eliminating the need to trust third party payment systems, banks, and brokerage houses. Today, financial intermediaries' role is to provide trust has emerged from the necessity of the direct connection between the two parties, thanks to Bitcoin's underlying technology.
understanding the risks of bitcoin/crypto... the real risks

though bitcoin did hit the news due to viruses blackmailing for funds of bitcoin. the amount of such bitcoin value linked to such cybercrimes was miniscule compared to the 'legit' bitcoin activities.
and yes the 'legit' activities have become even more stronger in recent years.

however your assumptions of the crypto community being 'eliminating need of third party trust' has actually been changing in the opposite direction
yes you subtly hinted at it, but in a positive narrative. so let me describe the real risks.

crypto is shifting away from the promise of eliminating the need to trust third parties
crypto developers are purposefully making bitcoin limited capacity and expensive utility to advertise other services that require third party trust.

even some bad codelines in the bitcoin client that does not allow spending untill synced. which makes users hate using the bitcoin client if they are not regular users..  and thus they rely on lite wallets(third party custody).
the fees of bitcoin is going up due to lack of interest in expanding tx capacity per block. and the preference of bloating up blocks with large transactions is prefered by devs. thus making people not want to use bitcoin for spending on daily things.

these tactics force people to use third party services just to get easy/smooth/fast and cheap utility.
but here is what people lose by these third party services
LN requires vaulting up funds with third parties and requiring them to be online and give permission via signature to allow you to transact. meaning people that want to spend need the other person to be online not just to spend but also to make sure their funds are not lost.
...
i personally have been a bitcoin hoarder since 2012 and i want to keep the utility of bitcoin principles by allowing bitcoin to expand. however the main devs are trying to shift people into the traditional banker model via sidechains/shadowchains and LN services. and not want bitcoin to expand

what you will find is these service offerings (channels to multiple users) is that they will end up having to register as MSB (money service businesses) and have to obide by regulations and policies of KYC
and be held accountable to certain limitations of use and also prevention of moving funds under court order.

yes there may be a blackmarket network of unregistered service providers but if they get wrapped up in legal issues where they are asked to cease operation. then those locked funds become part of the order. and thus legally frozen. and if any movement occurs those involved can then be in legal trouble.
(mtgox users didnt get funds back the day mtgox got locked. and that was pre channel)


the developers are droping the bitcoin principles not for legal/independant freedoms. but instead for profit.
by sacrificing peoples independant freedom to actually solely own assets. yep they want you to lock your funds with them so they can syphon funds out of your control.

sidechains and shadowchains and LN are not systems where the units of measure on those platforms are the true bitcoin. their inchannel daily spend units are different measures altogether. while you play with their mini units of measure. they are hoping you then run out of their units. and so need to sign your bitcoin value over to them

but if you manage to not spend all their units of measure. but then those systems are shutdown/channel owners are put offline. users dont have the same independant freedom to get their coin back

LN's major flaw is that channel partners need to be online to give permission. channel partners need funds elsewhere to route your payment. meaning to make a payment from a->z requires b-x to be available and funded.. this is not the original principles and promises of bitcoin.
and are far more of a problem then the worries of regulation of those partners that operate as service providers
9445  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Combination of Vaccines (PFIZER and ASTRAZENECA) on: January 06, 2021, 02:24:32 PM
I've researched the issue a lot.  You may or may not know from my previous comments that I choose some vaccines for my kid in her environment.  Well, one (BCG), but some others were given in spite of agreements between the parents and doctors to NOT do so.  I would obviously vaccinate for rabies in a situation which indicated it.  Possibly dengue fever as well with due care to avoid the 'pathogenic priming' issue.  I consider vaccine science to be legit and a powerful tool, but also a much sharper knife than they are marketed as insofar as they carry significant risks which must be analyzed on a situation-by-situation basis.  It may be a surprise to some, but I'm probably typical of a rabid 'anti-vaxxer'.

if this is true. then can you from now on stop sounding like an antivax script copy&paster. stop the conspiracy crap posts that have no merit in science. and instead research the science.

you travel down the conspiracy path of thinking things are made to purposefully kill millions. even when there is no science, math, logic or evidence of millions dying due to vaccines. its just conspiracy myth script pasting

you travel down the antivax path of 'i heard from somewhere that science says there is 0 risk, well i found someone that had a runny nose so they wrong and evil liars' the vaccine companies from day of release have always said about the allergin risk and the mild symptoms from immune response triggers and the 1in 1m risk of fatality.
and comparing all these, the odds of mild/severe illness/death/long term issues.. the vaccine is safer my many magnitudes compared to covid

and no rna from a vaccine wont change your body into a lizard. thats not how DNA evolution works(rna and DNA are different things)

Cool

but there are thousands of reports from around the world all showing the same thing.
its funny how you are now trying to deny the reports 'coz china wrote it'
you are really trying too hard to scrape the bottom of the barrel of excuses to avoid reading something

so in just 45 seconds of searching we have
korea - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7036342/
america - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7239045/

there are many many more. do your research

things have moved on passed the first couple months of 2020 myths of kaufman.
science can actually identify sars-cov-2 so well that they can see when it mutates and creates new strains.
so well infact that they can spot how its similar/diffrerent to more common varients that been around for decades. so well that they can then monitor these strains as they spread through people and see where the track and trace shows where it spreads to,

EG the african and uk 'new strains'

they can even see the zoonotic effect (transfer between different species)

You are actually praising the medical for disrupting human lives? Oh, that's right... franky-panky.

badecker gets shot. dies slowly where he sits because the time out of his day to visit a hospital interupts his life.

yes badecker you would be one of the fools that would refuse treatment to survive because it interupts the basement dwelling last few minutes of life as you bleed to death.
yep remember you think that being in hospital is like prison. and you prefer to suffer in silence 'naturally' at home
you are an idiot

.. then again. maybe you are suicidal. maybe its just one of the indocrinated cultish beliefs spoonfed to you of promises of a better life after death. either way. if you prefer to have 2 minutes of 'natural death' than 30-60 years extra of medically treated life.. thats upto you

The real question is how much will Hunter Biden make with Joe in the White House.  I'm guessing a substantial amount more than his dad.  Jokes aside though, the real money is made from the deals you make when you are done being president and I'm guessing Joe will ink himself a multi-million dollar book deal within months of leaving the White House.

and trumps book deals. and milania's adverts of her products on the white house webpage. and ivanka is milking the womans rights charitable donations

Where I'm at, the rich people who live in mansions are digging into their pockets to buy so-called vaccines ('Western' genetic re-programing variety only it seems) for poor people who live in squatter's shacks.  The govt's role seems to be limited to getting signatures on documents (absolving the multi-national corporations of responsibility for anything which might 'go wrong'.)

Not sayin' anything...just sayin'...

the multi-national corporations are not absolved of responsibility. they are absolved of the admin of talking to citizens direct. citizens file their claims against the government. because in essense all a government is is a citizen management company. its then the government that behind the scenes that penalises corporations. basically taking the stress and hassle off the citizens hands

citizens still have a path to compensation. but instead of going to court with insurance company A. where a citizen needs a laywer and about a year of time wasted. you simple stay home and fill in a form with a government department.
..
take retail goods. when something goes wrong. you can either contact the manufacturer and go through their lengthy warrenty process, sending goods off. hoping it comes back repaired and hoping not lost in mail. or you can go back to the retailer and ask for a refund/exchange and leave the retailer with the headache of dealing with the manufacturer.

what you actually learn. is that the way the vaccine compensation scheme works in many countries. citizens actually have more rights via government scheme, than what they would have if they had to sue a vaccine insurer

Lol. People get compensated, but it isn't by the medical who harms them.

Cool

actually it is.
in america ~$0.75 of every vaccine purchased goes into the government compensation trust.
thus its the same as a private insurance 'premium'.. just that compensation trust is held by government and not private insurance

the underwriter has worked out that for a true disabling adverse reaction of 1:1m that 75c makes an allowance of upto $750k per true claimant.

..
if pharma did have their own private liability insurance. the vaccine would cost government $1.50 more. and also the vaccine would have been delayeed by 3 months+ per phase. meaning bureucratic delays of a vaccine being released to public12 months later than it would.

also citizens filing claims against the pharma liability insurance would cause more costs to the citizen to file the claim(lawyers/court costs) and delays of upto 3 years before getting a verdict due to standard defense court delay tactics (take the craig wright court case.. its been a couple years because CSW is delaying things)
9450  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do you trust the co-vid19 vaccine ? on: January 06, 2021, 12:39:11 PM
You know how it goes. Medical people see these specks in electron microscopes. The specks are "dead," so anybody can make up all kinds of stories about what they are and how they work without ever seeing them do anything.

This is the last chance the medical has to make some money off viruses. The Microsphere Nanoscopes are watching living viruses in ways EMs never could. Turns out that viruses are really exosomes that have been ejected from the cells with the idea of cells warning other cells about bad nutrition.

A few years down the road, once MN information comes completely out into the open, the medical will call the vaccine companies of today some of the most retarded medical operations of the primitive past.

Of course, by then, the medical will have new lies to disrupt the people with in their attempts to make more money.

Cool

firstly. though its true if a bunch of cells has no heart or brain its defined as dead. but that means exosomes are dead too.. as are embyros/zygotes

secondly an exosome and a virus are totally different things. shape/size/function/effect of the body.

the bitcoin client software is not the same as a PS5 spiderman game. yes they both contain code. but that is all that is similar.

an exosome is is different. the mechanisms and function are different.
when a virus infects a cell. the replication effect to make new viruses are separate. yes some viral rna can then be trapped in the exosome path which can lead to those exosomes transporting patches of rna to another cell and make that target cell malfunction and trigger cell death.
but the separetly is replicating viruses
..
here is a nice little picture for you


the left square is the initial cell being infected by a virus
the image shows the virus entering at the top(1&2)
the virus gets stripped/broken up at 3 (it becomes the wiggly line)
the main lengthy wiggle goes down(4.5.6) and becomes another virus
small sections of waste rna(small wiggle) goes to the right and gets locked into exosomes

viruses excrete at the bottom and exosomes excrete on the right.
.
a virus if attacking another cell will cause viral replication
an exosome containing waste rna will cause the next cell to malfunction and thus trigger cell death
..
the interesting part is. for a virus to survive longer in community and be more spreadable has to be a virus that doesnt have as much of the waste rna exosome path. thus less neighbouring cell death. thus allowing the main virus to infect that neighbouring cell instead ..to multiply more

Running your own node and worrying about if you have enough liquidity on your node or in your channels to route txs or make a payment, and then having to load it up with more bitcoin through an onchain tx seems kinda of....not great user experience.
..
 but how many average consumers are going to want to run their own LN node, or even have any idea or interest in learning how to do that? Very few.

This means that if LN took off most people would just be using some centralized node run by some service anyway. And this is how I see LN taking off.
...
 Sure then you don't "own" your bitcoin, but if you are using a centralized service like that then that's already the case.

good to see rational minds do exist amungst the LN fangirls overpromising and not understanding

9452  Economy / Speculation / Re: The profit in Bitcoin hodling/holding on: January 06, 2021, 02:47:51 AM
Gold also has continuous supply, the continuous supply is one of the reasons that make the an asset not to increase in value the way it suppose to because supply decrease asset value while demand increase it.

if you split the gold PRICE in half. you will then have a rough idea of supply vs demand

if it takes ~$900 to mine gold. then no one. no where would dare sell gold for less then they mined it. as thats stupid
however the other $1242 'speculation' half is volatile based on demand.
obviously with gold mines and factories shut down due to covid lockdowns in spring 2020 this created a speculative demand for gold. but most gold miners had cheap diesel and those able to mine had less cost.
its estimated that some miners previously averaging a $900 cost in 2019 were getting a $600 cost in 2020
but with less miners. the speculation demand pushed up the profits for those miners.
they basically had a $900 cost and a $1800 sell (100% profit) but in 2020 at $600 cost and $2100 sell.(250% profit)

in short this $2100 is a bubble.

bitcoin mining can also show the same dynamics. and although there is a good underlying cost that prevents bitcoin going to 0 unless mining cost went to 0. you can work out how much of the speculative zone is inside the price to work out when things are just a slight inflated value or a entire bubble inflation amount

right now the mining costs are $16k-19k depending on if hardware is s9-T19
so only 100% profit.

Where's the part that shows that Covid is harming humans or mice? After all, there are loads of viruses in people and animals. Yet they live just fine. Or are SARS-CoV-2 particles the only thing they found in the lung sample.

read the report

you have been told this many times. i even quoted how the mouse was harmed with its lung lesions. it even has images in the report that shows it. aswell as other info.

just read the report
i already explained the report also links the human isolation part and also showing the symptoms of the human.
just read the report...

as for you saying there are lots of viruses in people and animals. thats the whole point of isolating it.
they actually separated out lots of different things. like separating out the human genetic material and fluids. they even tested the isolate against multiple viruses and bacteria. they found one thats new. and they fully sequenced it.
they then put that isolate into the mouse. and the mouse then got lung damage like the human.

read the report

The covid vaccine is NOT meant to immunise you, it's meant to euthanize you.

ok lets just see the deathrate of covid. vs deathrate of vaccines
i guarantee you the vaccine has much much much less deaths associated with the vaccine. and also saves lives by reducing the deathrate of covid

later we will see results of the antivaxx group getting covid and dying in more numbers than those who took the vaccine.

what you will learn is the antivaxx cult want people to die 'naturally' at under 50yo by never having medicines. but while profiting from supplement advertising for those following their cult. rather than people dying at 80+ average due to medicines allowing them to live an extra 30+ year average

maybe one day you will realise your cult are the ones wanting to kill more people. but i think that wont be today.

are you truly going to be that stupid and next support someone if they start urinating in vaccines and then injecting people? because from what i can see, i think you would foolishly support malicious acts against treatments

Unfortunately it is casting pearls before swine since doctors need board certificates to do much and only a small number of people can make it through med school with any residual understanding of 'science' in tact.  Those that do are effectively required to NOT heal people of certain ailments which the controllers have decided need to exist within certain populations at certain rates.

ok im gonna call it. .. tvbcof. the weed your smoking has too high thc content.
its making you fantasise about things and then get paranoid about it.

try to down dose and try something with less thc

you do realise that with 200 countries. the ability to mastermind some cultish deathnote plot of all doctors of all types around the world is impossible.

yes there are some bad 'doctors' that open up their own clinics as pillmills to just prescribe random crap for profit.
yes there are some bad 'doctors' that after training. then slowly slip into following medical insurers policies of only treating people to medical insurance protocols.

but if you think there is some international deathnote plot happening.. you really need to stop smoking that weed

here is the real crux of the facts your missing.
average lifespan of people that have western medicine is better than countries that dont..
average lifespan of people with modern medicine is better than the witchcraft crap of hundreds of years ago

meaning modern western medicine helps people

africa for instance that still believes in their 'home remedies' only has a lifespan of <50
UK/US for instance that uses modern western medicine has a lifespan >80

but hey if you want to move to african countries and live the rest of your shortened life on home remedies. well you can.

just remember this though. when you die at ~50 due to no treatment for things normal 50yo suffer from. this does not mean you have survived the ailments people over 50 would get. it means your dead. and thus just avoided the positives and negatives of getting old

Those who do not believe in the Western medicine are the same as those who say the Earth is flat. Interestingly, those individuals are the first to see a doctor when there are even the slightest signs of the disease.

those that come on the internet pretending they are against western medicine, secretly think they are now part of some special cult. that if something went wrong their cult leader will come to their rescue.

EG the certain idiots on this forum that are trump supporters. denying the virus is real but keep hinting if they get sick they will receive the same medical treatment trump got.

they have one hell of a wake up moment when they realise their kiss-ass methods wont and hasnt won them any favours.

america can just write off any debt. can hyper inflate or hypo inflate. renegotiate interest rates or even outlaw interest rates all together.

when you realise how fake and messy fiat is. maybe you will understand how hard coded finance in bitcoin is better

if you still fear fiat crashing then you have not learned anything in the bitcoin community about how money really works
