1221  Economy / Economics / Re: Germany surprises everyone, the economy keeps growing on: May 25, 2023, 01:48:56 PM
Meanwhile, German GDP in the first quarter of 2023 decreased by 0.3% (worse than expected). Over the past quarter, GDP fell by 0.5%, that is, there are two quarters of GDP decline in a row. It's a tech recession that Olaf "it's just ridiculous" Scholz ruled out completely in January.


Germany's GDP also contracted by a half of a percent during the end of 2022. That's two quarters of contractions, which puts their economy in a technical recession.

For the people living in Germany, has inflation gone down yet? Or does it remain high? Because if inflation remains high, it's going to end in stagflation = economic recession + high inflation. It will not be good.

the trust rating by the MODERATORS. is due to the MODERATORS receiving cries from YOUR CLAN of idiots..
where YOU lot were telling gmax that you have been gaslit and crying about multiple things where he got annoyed with all the crying


 Roll Eyes

Stop being a drama-queen.

Achow and gmaxwell will never give anyone a negative trust rating if truly there wasn't a reason to do it. Plus gmaxwell literally banned you from posting in Development & Technical subforum.

It was something you did, franky101. You're not the victim here, and no one is crying. We're actually laughing.
1223  Economy / Services / Re: [PAUSE/CLOSE] BetterCallRaul.it No KYC Crypto Exchange Signature Campaign on: May 23, 2023, 06:05:18 AM
Royse777 is not home but I was asked to make this response on behalf of him.


Please remove the signature, the campaign is on hold until I have an update from the team. I have contacted the representative I am in touch with and waiting for his response.

Whatever happens, active participants will get paid of whatever is outstanding from the last week and this week until yesterday. The escrow address does not have a balance though but I will make sure you are paid.

Regards,

Royse777
Thanks again Little Mouse for posting the information.



Sorry guys, I was away whole day. Earlier in the afternoon, the person in contact with me for BetterCallRaul was telling they (Raul management) are not replying (it was about refilling last week's outstanding 0.03543932 BTC). I told him if they don't respond by the next payday then on the next payday I will pause the campaign and wait for them (management) to refill the wallet for outstanding (last week and whatever it will be for this week) balance first then I will relaunch the campaign again if needed. The person in contact told me not to do anything right now and he is stressed too as they said something related to Chipmixer came to his (management as I understood) house.



My understanding is that my contact person was not aware of seizing (or whatever we make from it) the site at all at that time. I was not aware too.

After few minutes I was just checking my Telegram group and found someone posted a screenshot and there is a talk about Raul. Immediately, I responded my contact person to know is this really on their site (I did not want to check from my clear net on the phone)? But he was offline. He responded later with a yes.

But by the time I am already stressed and not sure what to do. I asked Little Mouse to investigate and give me some valid information of what is happening as I am not home and can not access my laptop, I am not a mobile friendly person.

All felt that happened so quick that I was not able to make up the mind to whether continue the campaign or not. After thinking a while I figured, if the domain is seized then no point to continue and if they rug pulled (hope they did not) still there are no point to continue the campaign. In the first case I only can hope they will pay the outstanding (if they have the opportunity) through my contact person but in the 2nd case, I don't think they will even pay a single penny. So in any case pausing the campaign was the most logical decision. No matter what happened (seized or rug pulled) I had to act immediately and inform Little Mouse to pass the update. Thanks LM again.


The campaign is on a Pause, consider it Closed.

Whatever you posted until yesterday has been counted. One person removed the signature before I asked LM to post the update. I am not sure when he removed the signature, but since his bio did not have signature when LM (I trust his words) was checking everyone's bio, I am considering he left the campaign without informing me so he will not receive anything.

Total BTC for this week is 0.02292563 BTC

I only can hope that the domain was sized and soon my contact person will update that they are going to send the BTC. I will wait a week for that, to hear something positive for me. If there are no payment then I will have to pay both weeks outstanding payment out of my pocket. Please allow me 7 to 10 days before you see the payments on your wallets. I hope you all are okay with that.

Sorry for any inconvenience. I think none of us expected such ending especially I never expected to make another huge lose in the business and paying out of my own pocket again after Bitlucy scammed me (Over $6.2K or something, I can not remember exactly). Anyway, it is what it is. You all expected to get paid a total of 0.05836495 BTC from me by the next 7 to 10 days.

My only hope is, the contact person gives me some positive information. :-(

Looking forward to work with all of you again in another campaign whenever we will have a chance. Have a good night.

Cheers,


It's not your fault, Royse. Personally, you don't need to pay me if the escrow wallet is not refilled by BetterCallRaul.
1224  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: scalping Bitcoin vs. other assets on: May 22, 2023, 01:59:48 PM
What pros and cons do you see when scalping Bitcoin vs. other assets such as NASDAQ.
What assets do you recommend for scalping other than Bitcoin and what platform to use for those assets?


Pros for scalping Bitcoin is volatility. If you're good at scalping then you won't require a lot of capital and/or leverage when you trade.

Cons, it's also volatility, but just for plebs like me, or us? If you're a good scalper it will be good for you, if you're not, it will be a vector that will cause you mistakes.
1225  Economy / Economics / Re: Fed on brink of fifth(?) round of quantitative easing on: May 22, 2023, 11:40:11 AM
"Greater" is definitely subjective. The only reason we have bounced back every time is because we have increased the debt ceiling and taken on exponentially higher levels of debt. This cannot continue forever.
It cannot continue forever, granted. The question is when will it happen. Why do countries still feel confident with the USD, after all these further actions the US has taken to retain their economy, which discredit their currency?


Because, simply, no other fiat currency is better than the U.S. Dollar in Liquidity, Saveability, and Investability.

To make Bitcoin an example, it's the same situation. Anyone open a debate that there are "better cryptocurrencies" out in the market, but not all merchants and services accept those "better currencies". Bitcoin contrastingly is accepted EVERYWHERE in crypto, which makes it better in Liquidity, Saveability, and Investability.
1226  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Mempool.Space accelerator service on: May 22, 2023, 11:23:15 AM
Can anyone explain how it technically works?

Simple!
Foundry USA which is the biggest mining pool right now, and the one that sponsored mempool.space with both money and hardware is now planning on offering the same thing as ViaBtc does but through mempool.space . As you can see the block that confirmed it was mined by Foundry , but it was a coincidence they mined one right then, probably they've done more instances of the videos till they got one right!

Btw, their new feature seems to not be counted by the explorer, it still shows the fee span as 86 - 401 sat/vB despite it being 1 - 401 in reality.


OK, it's merely having a "secret deal" with some group miners/pools, and paying a secret fee to get the transaction into the next block. I thought there was some open-protocol built by some bright developers to make it possible.

It's actually giving some miners an unfair advantage over those miners who aren't included in the "secret deal". I'm locking the topic.
1227  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin History, Philosophy, And Prehistory on: May 22, 2023, 06:35:03 AM
Aaron van Wirdum, one of Bitcoin's most trustworthy Bitcoin researchers/journalists, has shared his Google Drive containing his research on Bitcoin's prehistory - Projects based on cryptography that were built before Bitcoin, which marshalled the path towards its invention.

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1j7PDr7uTNsJs3CmCmtB0vLjmkKz4GOnQ

If there's something to learn about Bitcoin, it's that the implementation of Adam Back's HashCash, and the incentivization for providing Proofs Of Work is at the center if it all.

--Snip--


No franky101, I'm talking about the gaslighting that you and jonald_fyookball did during the scaling debate. Plus your trust page has two negative ratings from gmaxwell and achow, two of the most trusted members of BitcoinTalk. Why should everyone trust you? I believe the only reason why you're not banned in the forum is because the mods know you'll just make another account.
1229  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Mempool.Space accelerator service on: May 20, 2023, 11:02:00 AM
There's video in the link that demos how a 1sat/vByte transaction was confirmed within three minutes even with the cost to include the transaction is supposed to be 88sat/vByte.

https://twitter.com/mempool/status/1659619347910803466

Can anyone explain how it technically works? I'm reading the posts in that link, and people are not happy. Why are they suggesting that it's something like "Good bye to decentralization"?
1230  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Civil War on: May 20, 2023, 10:46:10 AM
i laugh at you silly people.. you spend more weeks wasted on personality attacks.


But it's no mere personality attack from me, no? You actually gaslighted me, and many other newbies/plebs into believing that a hard fork to bigger blocks was the right way to scale Bitcoin. You also were pushing on the narrative that Bitcoin "split into two into Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin Cash", and you were trying to make everyone believe that the altcoin "Bitcoin Cash" has as much right to claim to be "the Real Bitcoin" as "Bitcoin Core".

You brought it on yourself, and that's a fact.
1231  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Civil War on: May 20, 2023, 07:40:31 AM
so now windfury is denying the existing of these meme bloat.. and denying that core devs are devs..
soo who is mis informing??

core are bitcoin devs that softened consensus and even your forum daddy admits core done it. he loves promoting their role in it.

so if you are denying it. then you are denying your daddy. again you sway in one direction when the scripts written for you say A then you change to script B denying A when the script changes

how about look at code. look at block data instead of your silly influencer social drama of trusting people.

LOOK AT THE DATA. do your research.  
Okay, you're right. The developers of the core have been quite consistent in easing the initially tight restrictions of bitcoin, this has had its consequences, both positive and negative. With this we figured out, to the question "who is to blame?" the correct answer is found, now let's move on to the question "what to do?". Because it's easy and fun to loosen restrictions - it entails promising prospects in terms of scaling and rapid success in terms of breadth of adoption. But there is a nuance, once a weakened restriction can no longer be strengthened back without at least a partial loss of backward compatibility. Someone will inevitably suffer in this case - simply because yesterday it was still possible, but today it has become impossible. What do you propose to do about it, other than pointless grumbling on the forum?


He proposes nothing. He merely wants to gaslight everyone into believing that the Core Developers are "evil", and that they should be replaced as the stewards of the network. That has ALWAYS been the big blockers' agenda. Roger Ver and Jihan Wu have given up and hard forked to the altcoin Bitcoin Cash, but some of the members of their Flat-Earthers association has obviously not given up.

 Cool

so now windfury is denying the existing of these meme bloat.. and denying that core devs are devs..
soo who is mis-informing??

You're a forum drama-queen. But what's the solution franky101? A hard fork the bigger blocks to "scale onchain" and end with us having an unscalable, bloated blockchain?

Your gaslighting might work on newbies, but it will never work on the forum-sisters. Hahaha.

Frankly (no pun intended) I don't understand why he even bothers... He's wrong on a technical level a decent deal of the time so its not like he's really "here to educate." He's here to derail topics and crack heads, specifically those of people who believe in milli-sats.


Gaslighting and disinformation. I could personally say that it truly works on plebs/newbies, because I was one of those plebs/newbies who thought that a hard fork to bigger blocks was the right solution to scale Bitcoin during the days of the scaling debate, thanks to franky101 and jonald_fyookball. They did a good job in convincing many many people that the "Evil Core Developers" were acting in their own self-interest by regulating the block size. But everyone already knows it was FUD, and ignorant comments. I don't know why people in the forum vote him every year as the "Anti-Hero". Hahaha.

IMO I'm not sure it should matter as much on what the user can do themselves, some of the users may not even be here anymore.

The forum itself should want the images as they were in the thread, to preserve the historical nature.

I certainly will not be mass-editing my prior posts, with or without a script, so hopefully there will be something that can be done here with one of the options in the OP, even if it doesn't end up the most optimal option for the forum and future readers.


But what else can be done?

I believe the second option is the best compromise without making the forum give up its users' privacy. It's the right move in principle, although it won't make many threads look very good.

Printing more money while raising rates in theory to combat inflation is going to quickly become nonsense.   Japan is already further down this road and well aware they exist in a ruined landscape financially that government is broke though the country could do well without them it hardly bodes well for the health of an economy if the largest issuer of debt is unworthy via its endless refusal to settle debts.

Can any major debtor modern nation now settle their debts, what happens when this is called upon with reference to our knowledge of how bad effects easily spread globally & with a domino effect of losses and decline in trade.   I almost hope they get away with their nonsense as it will be so troublesome in conclusion when it topples.


Loosening and tightening at the same time? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of either, and is that really what Japan is currently doing?

 Shocked

I believe Japan is still loose with their monetary policy. Because the last update I've read about the Bank of Japan is they're printing more Yen to save their bond market and maintaining their rates low below 1%.

People are making a huge deal about something that is not nearly as big as it is being sold to the misinformed. This added recovery feature, come as a subscription option and you have to pay for that, so not a lot of people are going to opt-in for that extra feature.

We know Ledger were hacked a few years ago.... and a lot of people's information were stolen.. then criminals used that data to launch targeted Phishing attacks on those clients.... so why will people trust them now?  Roll Eyes


The same viewpoint! How could we truly trust a company that's suffered a breach before? It's just fair warning for users to be careful, because what Ledger has technically done, is they backdoored their devices. Plus I will say it again like a broken record, "How can we really verify that their ability to backdoor isn't already there"?

But you're also right. Everyone is making the issue bigger than what it is. Anyone who doesn't like Ledger's update should buy a Trezor.

Because, the people from both sides of the debate have turned it into a war of ideology, when the debate should actually be technical and what's the most efficient way to use a limited resource such as block space in the Bitcoin blockchain.

If there is a better solution, then people will use it. Perhaps the issue now is that there is currently no better solution.


"People using something" doesn't entirely mean that the solution is technically better. For the sake of debate, in onchain NFT and token trading/buying/selling, do you actually believe that it's better to do it inefficiently with blockchain + trusted centralized indexer, or do it where they can be built and done more efficiently? Which solution do you believe will not make people lose money faster?

That's not fear of missing out if you didn't buy any PEPE coin after the pump. FOMO becomes much more meaningful if a trader rushes to buy a coin at the top after the pump and then, shortly afterward, the coins dumps.

But then, there are still more opportunities out there, don't focus and regret on the missed opportunities. Always look forward  Wink


He should wait for such coins to crash and burn, then he could JOMO - Joy Of Missing Out, then laugh at those who FOMOed and rushed to buy at the top.

Plus OP, check the largest holders of those coins and check the market liquidity. There will not be enough liquidity for all of them to sell.

But be careful with the narrative debating that "it's not an attack", because Ordinals could be used as an attack that could hide itself behind Bitcoin's very ethos of permissionlessness and censorship-resistance.
I get that it can be annoying to pay the miner an extra dollar, but how exactly can it attack the principles of Bitcoin?

you two fools are both forum-sisters pretending to fight but just trying to distract from the real conversation. your shitty buzzwords pretending bitcoin shouldnt have rules is where you both fail. bitcoin only works due to rules.

the relaxation/removal and softening of rules is whats causing the problem. devs caused that.
asics do not program the bitcoin network. nor do asics choose the transactions. nor do asics choose the fee's so just stop with the "miner to blame" stuff.. its not logical

so you not realise your about 12 years out of date of blaming solo miners..

you want to pretend its user error or miner fault. but its not. its devs that created an exploit which is causing this nonsense useless bloat

bitcoin was invented WITH STRICT RULES.
every byte had a purpose and a validycheck rule for its utility.. over time those rules have been removed, relaxed , softened

If God had intended for Man to fly, He would have given him wings.



And how people can fly today? Do they have biologically attached wings all the time? No, they use vehicles with wings, that can carry many people at the same time, in the same direction. You don't have to put any physical wings on your body, and fly in the same way as birds. Also, releasing a plane does not mean that you have to take down some birds to start your flight.

The same here: the situation is not that such ideas are wrong on principle. What makes them wrong, is trying to put all of them directly on Bitcoin, using on-chain transactions, and using transaction data directly (instead of using for example commitments, that would be sufficient, and would require no additional on-chain data, then your transaction would be indistinguishable from the regular one).
