I think we have breached a record of consecutive post with no single mention to Bitcoin.
Not sure if this one counts either.

That would make some sense... if there were a big scarcity of those men that you call "betas" which I think it is not happening yet.
Also, if that would happen, the states would probably increase even more the obligations of money support to those children from their biological fathers. Which would also probably mean those "Chads" you mention would be much more careful in avoiding making pregnant any of his "bangs" (ie: vasectomy).
You are predicting a possible future problem without taking into account the logical reactive countermeasures.

@r0ach
Who is saying you are supposed to be married and/or have children? What fucking reality do you live in? That has changed a lot for the past few decades and will probably change even more in the next ones. Most of the old reasons for men basically *needing* to follow that route are now gone. Now it is more like an option one can consider to go or not. That's all.
I have personally decided NOT getting married or having children because I think it offers no advantage (to me) or, at least, would not compensate the (HUGE) cons.... but let the other people do what they prefer with their lives, won't you?

eg "segwit solves malleability"...
nope it doesnt solve malleabillity.. it "exclusively" offers a non malleable tx format IF people only use this "exclusive" tx format, by which that "exclusive" tx format needs to avoid certain opcodes, or else people could malleate tx's that use the certain format
So it does indeed offer a valid solution to the malleability problem, doesn't it? |

Let's see if I have gotten this right... In simple words:
- Gmaxwell minisketch proposal is a way to reduce bandwidth usage by nodes during the relay of tx's. It does so by detecting which tx's are needed to be transmitted so that only those that are missing get transmitted to the other node. It is not part of the bitcoin consensus and fully optional so that it only gets used only between supporting pairs of nodes.
- Franky1 argues against the drop of some tx's by the nodes for not meeting the criteria of min relay fee which is a node operator configurable value. He thinks that nodes should not drop those tx's (only in case of signature mismatch or already spent/insufficient inputs). He also argues that if tx's were not dropped in first instance there would be no need for that "re-relay" of those missing tx's "over and over".
- It is not clear (to me) if that is what actually happens (the re-relay of those tx's repeated times) but from gmaxwell post it seems that it is not the case.
- Also it seems to me that in any case minisketch has nothing to do about that because the drop of the tx's due to not meeting the min relay criteria is a previous step in the protocol. Minisketch just adds an optional and more efficient (bandwidth wise) way of dealing with a preexistent situation.
So, if the above is correct... everything reduces to franky1 being against min relay which has nothing to do with gmaxwell proposal?
Sorry if I have stepped into this conversation without the necessary knowledge but, at this point, it has caught some of my attention and would like to know if I got it or not.

Great tweetstorm on the current state of ETH. I didn’t buy into the ETH ICO @ 2,000 ETH/BTC because I thought ETH was a scam. Turns out I was right. Doesn’t help that I could have been rich along the way. Find some comfort in the idea that even if you had bought the ICO you would have probably dumped it all during The DAO fiasco. Wouldn't you? |

Watching the silver price slowly fall back to $6 over the next decade will be even worse.
From a TA point of view, $10 looks like a very strong support and potential bounce. But, r0ach is always talking about costs of production and oil as the main factor. Oil price is gonna dump really hard over the next couple of decades. As much as electrical cars increase their market share the more affected will be the demand of oil. Main demand right now is coming from cars all over the world. Another interesting side effect is that long distance flights will become even cheaper. I'm sorry. Where do you think all this electricity is going to come from? While there will certainly be plenty of volatility in the energy sector, even "dumps", broadly speaking oil will never, ever, be cheaper in real terms. Even serious industry paid annalists acknowledge that we are past peak EROI, and there is simply no replacement for the energy density of fossil fuels. Well, I may be wrong, but this is the reasoning behind my thinking/prediction: Yes, energy density of fossil fuels is the best and that is why it was so hard to replace for "mobile machines". Flights don't have any substitute for that very same reason. But flights are not the main demand of oil, cars are. Everything points out that we will see an increase in market share of electric cars during the next next years/decades. I don't think it is unreasonable that half the cars would be electric in two decades. That would mean a huge decrease in demand for oil. Where do the electricity came from to power all those cars? Well, I also expect an increase of the alternate power sources now that ie photoelectric has become positive ROI. Also nuclear is still rocking and with the new better and safer designs maybe they would start building much more new ones if the need arise? Not sure about that one to be honest. Also it doesn't really need for something as huge as a halving of oil dependance from cars to affect the price hard. Since many decades to now that demand has been increasing yet the price has remained more or less constant (hugely volatile though) or even decreased. When it not only stops growing (the demand) but decrease significantly I would guess it's impact on price would be multiplied. Also, oil producers seeing that in the future the demand would keep decreasing would be more eager to monetise their reserves faster than others. Again, with the effect of lowering price. As I said, I might be wrong, but that is my reasoning and makes sense to me. P.S.: Yeah, I haven't included fusion because it has been so long they said it was near that I don't believe it anymore. |

I never would come to the 100k party under my alias in this forum, my opsec was crushed long ago. Like said, I don't care if this user is connected with my real life persona, doesn't change a thing.
Oh and good luck getting my name from any records, you'd have to hack the hospital records I was in, it was never in any news or made public.
Don't worry, I'd never look for your name or anything. No point for me to do that, as I'd never cause any harm to anyone. I just mentioned it for all of us readers here, to be careful when we write about ourselves. A guy in Turkey published in Facebook that he had 400 BTC. IIRC, he was kidnapped, tortured, and his 400 BTC stolen. I have sometimes researched the IRL identities of a few people here. Just for the sake of it. I guess all the clearly identifiable ones already know they are somewhat exposed. And I don't remember anything about it. But how do you know it's the same person. If I wanted to hide my real persona, I would just use somebody else's user name and avatar and send you on a wild goose chase. Because I am good at what I do. When I am sure, I am. Sometimes I don't. That being said, yes, one of the best ways to increase your opsec is to include some false data (profile poisoning) to break any profiling attempt but, when incoherencies can also be detected and while you may not find out who the IRL person is, you will know it is a false positive. If you try to pose as someone else, probably the extended profiling comparison will show some mismatches unless you are really good at it. Anyway, we are talking here about almost amateur level profiling.... when you have the resources of a state agency I would bet more than 80-90% of us would be easily identified one way or another. I know I would be, for example. I don't care. P.S.: Your opsec is not really good (at first instance at least). But I guess you already know that. |

Confused, I thought that this morning I would find some more merit in my account (not because of my publications in WO), in a few hours the thread of How Many Full Nodes Bitcoin Online? I increase visits considerably, but 0 merits. It's a reflection, having a coffee in the morning.  You have received much more merits than most people here during the past couple of weeks. You are doing very well, but merits are very scarce and have to be shared among a lot of really great posters (much more than merits available unfortunately). Don't be greedy  P.S.: Most people that have already merited the OP of a good thread, don't do it anymore unless some very exceptional post comes. Really, don't care about the merits, they don't mean that much. Ok, it's true, I have a good average, it's just impatience for Nº/100, it's not greed, I assure you. YOu will have your Nº100 before you reach 120 activity for full member. Don't worry anymore |

But, r0ach is always talking about costs of production
Common beginner error. Miners always have a wide range of production costs. The production cost that is publicly reported is an average. But the standard deviation is significant. That means as prices fall below the average “cost of production” the top quartile producers go broke. Meanwhile the bottom quartile producers are still highly profitable and pumping out product. The average cost of production falls as the price falls as inefficient producers are driven to the wall, often with little or no impact on global output. It is not unusual for major miners to take advantage of this market pressure and actually step up production to squeeze out the competition, further depressing price. So you are a fool to rely on “production costs” to prop up commodity prices. Another thing he always dismiss is that if demand is lower than offer from already produced silver there is no fucking need to mine any more (if the cost of production were higher than the market price). |

Marcus Anonymint's posts...I mean "lambie slayer", are just too dumb too truthful and painful for me to have to courage to respond to now. Micgoossens, you wouldn't happen to be a mechanical engineer? able to teach me how to talk to a woman without making my paranoid schizo face at her. https://www.reddit.com/r/MGTOW/comments/aa2x42/well_lads_it_happened/ (reddit post from group of virgins pretending they could get women but just decided they had other stuff to do in their basement) Virgin Roach is really upset about Goose having a woman and him being stuck in his basement with dead money silver bags.  This new bull market is gonna be brutal on you Virgin Roach, hope you have a good psychiatrist. R0ach thought he was the luckiest man in the world when he saw he could buy a few hundred of kilograms of silver selling all his Bitcoin. He then thought that impressive amount of PM would make him richer than his wildest dreams. Nothing could have been further from the truth when you can't even buy a decent basement with all that pile of useless shit. It must have been a very frustrating experience. |

In my country I don't care. When I go on vacation to the USA I do. Call me a coward but for me that's too much to risk just for trolling.
I am not sure if I would let them disassemble my car with no fucking reason though. That's different.

If you have time and will, just for kicks, try to get my IRL identity and PM it to me. I'm nowhere in social media, only maybe tagged in a few pictures of my buddies, but that's under an alias as well. No doubt facebook has a "ghost profile" on me, but how accessible is that? Ok, will try to do it. Not today. Will have to read all your post history. But I can tell you that if your IRL identity has no presence anywhere in the net. It will probably be in vain. (For me, not for a seriously motivated or more resourceful attacker). |

I don't care about state agencies.... As long as I am not a terrorist, there's no way they could use anything against me in a court. That's all I care.
I was extremely paranoid decades ago. Maybe I had reasons to be... don't remember anymore. Now I am sure I am an extremely uninteresting person to closely watch, so I don't fucking care.
Pretty much the same way here. Don't have anything to hide. Have had enough letter-agency security checks done on me, that the government has a real good idea of what my colon looks like. It's sort of a badge of honor. "OH YEAH ?! Well, not only am I TSA pre-checked, I also have Global Entry ! You want me to open my carry-on for a further check ?! No problem. Here. I'll just drop trou and spread-em too, while we're at it." The Canadian's really didn't like me that trip. Almost created an international incident at the border when some security dude shrugged, put on some gloves, a mask, and was about to reach in there to pan for nuggets, going through secondary customs screening. Rick shot me a stern look of disapproval, as the security staff were becoming seriously nonplussed. I have learned to behave like a sheep in all those kinds of situations. If I had more lives to spare maybe in some of them I would troll them to hell... But having only one I prefer to just lower my head, thank them and go on with my life. Only god knows in what kind of trouble I would have already get into to make my life completely miserable otherwise. Oh well, I remember the time I started to argue a TSA agent when he questioned me about my baggage and electronics.... I tried to explain him that I couldn't know if someone could have inserted anything in belongings (the camera in particular which had been in a repair shop before). When I saw the guy was contemplating reporting me, I just accepted all responsibility for all my belongings and he let me go my way. Never again will do anything like that. Just lower my head and assent to everything. |

We already have UBI. It’s called social security.
Oh fuck, social security... those fuckers really scare the hell out of me! They don't need proof or anything to go against you! Is it the same in your country? |

Problem is depending on who you worry to break your opsec. We WO'ers? Probably not. Any state agency, without doubt with much less than you have just said. I don't care about state agencies.... As long as I am not a terrorist, there's no way they could use anything against me in a court. That's all I care. I was extremely paranoid decades ago. Maybe I had reasons to be or maybe not... don't remember anymore. Now I am sure I am an extremely uninteresting person to closely watch, so I don't fucking care. I'm an honest citizen nowadays so I couldn't care less about any government agencies, let them dig and inspect. Nor am I a terrorist. Most stuff one has done ages in 5 to 10 years, in Europe at least. And why would anyone come at me for drug use or similar? It's in the past, never been a criminal and never will be, money is easy to be made in legitimate ways. Not only that even if were bigger crimes than just drugs they couldn't use illegally obtained evidence.... Unless you're a terrorist or an "enemy of the state", then you are fucked no matter what the evidence is. Not that I like them digging through my shit.... but nothing to really worry here. |
