I remember it like it was yesterday.
The Viet Congs had embushed us in the jungle. The F14 rockets were flying overhead. Most of the men were down. So I told Mic to run and he did. But he came back and he picked up all the injured and carried them to safety, including me.
At first I was mad at Mic for saving me that day because I lost both my legs there.
But Mic made me realize how beautiful life is.
Since then I met Susan, my fiance and invested in Bitcoin. Now I'm a billionaire.
Thanks Mic !
Forrest Pump? |

Bitcoin is the gamification of education & learning Bitcoin makes you want to learn: - Econ - Cryptography - CompSci - History - Game Theory It improves engagement, productivity & crowdsourcing of knowledge Bitcoin brings purpose, innovation & incentive to advance many fields https://twitter.com/misir_mahmudov/status/1122957430424518656^ Sorry guys probably you learned a lot of these.... Micg only learned -HODL -Accumulate more -HODL the new accumulated -Post and read the great WO-thread -Avoid Sh*tcoins -CSW = not Satoshi Nakamoto but i'm doing OK ..... LOL! But you know what? You did in fact learn about all those things even if you don't realise it  And proper english too... and memes, and hats, and... !! |

I've seen some very nice hats that are not worn and are not in the signing campaign ..., jbreher!  Do you need new glasses? My glasses are adequate, thanks.  I'm talking about the hat crushed on your bear's head. You have it here if you want to use it.  Maybe later you changed it, because of the avatar that you are wearing now. Some people do have several hats. Some others have their hats put on the avatar (such as vapourminer and jbreher) while still being xhomerx original works. Some other hats weren't published in thread by xhomerx in advance but, presumably, the request and delivery was done via PM. Anyway. great job on putting all or most of them into a single picture. Mic was for some time updating the list of hats but, being any of them an IMG tag it reached a point in which it was unusual that all of them got visualised on page load. I think jbreher current avatar is a second version made by xhomerx on request by jbreher. Not fully sure though. |

You could keep using your legacy non-segwit coins BUT... I guess you would have some problem forcing other people to send you coins that fulfill your "full legacy trace" requirement. In fact you probably already have that problem, don't you?
Not at all. To a first order approximation (i.e., the overwhelming majority), I have no reason to move BTC in or out. But for those coins that I do move: If someone wants me to pay to their SegWit address, that's no skin off my nose; For inbound, I provide a legacy address to pay to. Easy peasy. Ok. So then if the condition of Bitcoin blocks having a very reasonable 80% peak (maybe hourly averaged) capacity by whatever means, even if that implies only a moderate blocksize increase plus other L2 alleviating solutions... your confidence/preference in Bitcoin would be restored and not keep insisting that BSV is better because: Bigger blocks (even if noone use them), no segwit, no LN, etc? I am just trying to determine if your main concern is only about congestion or if there additional unsolvable (like considering bigger blocks is ALWAYS better) issues here. |

Btw imagine bch or bsv having a 51% attack while their communities have preached that hashrate is all that matters.
I don't see what you are getting at. Doing such would seem to validate the hypothesis. Makes sense. I got a question for you... if Bitcoin increased its blocksize so that PEAK usage would be under 80% capacity... would you reconsider your current preference of BSV over Bitcoin or would you still be insisting in BSV to be a better choice because of... donno... "way bigger" blocks and no segwit/LN support? Hmm. Lot of dependencies. It would certainly make the situation vastly improved in my mind. Peak under 80% capacity would eliminate the persistently-full block state - so that's goodness. But how would this sliding block cap be regulated? Who has their hands on the lever? How realistic will it remain to deal only in coins that have never been through a SegWit address? It doesnt matter how... I mean, it does.. but as an hypotesys lets just assume BY ANY MEAN which could just be a moderate block size increase (ie: double) combined with other things like increase of LN usage, etc.... You could keep using your legacy non-segwit coins BUT... I guess you would have some problem forcing other people to send you coins that fulfill your "full legacy trace" requirement. In fact you probably already have that problem, don't you? |

Bitcoin increases blocksize and shows it was indeed needing to have larger blocks (which then are filled with nonsense and can push nodes off)
Larger blocks are inanimate. Regardless of size, blocks do not have the power to 'push (so-called) nodes off' of anything. Bitcoin does not owe you a position in its network. Either expend the resources required, or drop to the side in your inability to keep up. Decision is fully yours. Own it. BTC will not be able to increase the block size because in this case it will have to cancel the Seqwit, which will not allow the signed transactions from Satoshi's wallets to work in January 2020 I don't even have words to describe the level of retardness shown in each part of the above statement. Please stop it already. |

I am feeling like wearing a hat lately. Where do I apply/sign?  XhomerX is your man, can always PM him if he missed your post.... You'll be a HAT wearer before you know it “You're only human. You live once and life is wonderful so eat the damn red velvet cupcake!” ― Emily Jean "Emma" Stone  Avatar-sized  ...blue and black are Emma's favourite colours. Awesome job! It looks even more 3d in its avatar version instead of losing detail! |

Please let me suggest you to add some cologne spraying between each rep for full endurance training.
From the horse's mouth. Duly merited now. WOsMerit alone couldn't pay justice to crabs and stuff.  No offence meant, Captain! I love me some fine WOsM alright, i's just tha' the peep bitserve is on his way to legend and could use some standard, boring sMerit too. Besides, the crabs/balls/alcohol thing was one of the best features round here recently. Thanks bro! But let's just clarify that it was not crabs but unusual exercise friction most probably and surely some balls + alcohol were involved  My balls are fine now... and I still think the alcohol helped even if I had to pay some price for a couple minutes. It is still a mistery to me why I don't feel any pain when I apply alcohol to open/bloody wounds (yeah, I use it for everything from inside and out) but it felt like burning hell when I did to my itching balls skin but... whateva, it fucking worked! |

Drank a bit too much and cut out coffee today. I feel like shit, happy to see we held strong over $5k and didn't flounder.
We feel the same @the moment, only when I was driving to the next place.... I drive in a police stop for b00z control and got myself a 3h driving license taken of!!! And probably a ticket, first one in my life F*** those F***ers So we both are F***ed up right now but drunk so having Fun  Its Saturday after all That's why I decided to (almost) stop driving several years ago. I can have others to drive for me, but I prefer to do the drinking myself.... Well, I also loved driving myself but... Guess I can't have everything.  So many stupid laws.... Anyway, today I am very butthurt after knowing how much it gonna cost me to prune/trim my palm trees. Jesus, I feel like I chose the wrong job in life! Go Bitcoin go! at this rate I am gonna need your help soon!! And enjoy your saturday Mic! Don't let em get you down!! He dammit I was unlucky last night, first time they caught me  and so close @ my home that its laughable, still i'm amazed cause I have had 2 gin tonics and 5-courses with wine, so 5 wines and a bit from my GF should be 6 glasses and they were filled good. I was afraid to blow much to much as .22 stands for just over a consumption and to be punishable, though I only had .31 milligrams per liter of exhaled air... So after all I have to be happy its only this, cause in Belgium they don't laugh when you have drunk to much and be caught driving. So it was instant 3 hours driving license taken, and probably 240 euro fine... Luckily they left 5 minutes later and I could go on my way....
Good the rest of the evening was fine and the delay wasn't to long For the rest good morning-noon WO-members and let this sober up Sunday get started. Glad the incident didn't ruin your saturday night but... Please be careful with that (the bolded part) !! If you have had the bad luck of being caught again while the driving license was officially suspended (and presumably still lightly "intoxicated") you would have been charged with no license plus alcohol driving and maybe risk being throw to jail. Very small chance but... why risk it? Be careful with those laws, they could seriously hurt your lifestyle if you get unlucky. I had a near miss one in which I finally resulted acquitted after years of litigation. Not fun, believe me. I learnt my lesson for sure. |

Major suckage. "I may have lost the seed" - WTaF? Adding insult to injury. Maybe he means as in having temporarily unable to access the seed as if it was stored on a seastead or something? Anyway I think Elwar was more of a paperwallet guy. The ledger he may be using it just for convenience. Even if it sounds as a bit of inconvenience right now if he can't access it. |
