Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

I pioneered the JNR - jump never return whilst at university working with machine code  You gotta go back when you goto in structured.  my 1st assembly language program was on a trs-80 model one.. it was pretty much this: LOAD A, "E" LOOP_OF_DEATH: PUSH AF GOTO LOOP_OF_DEATH i did it to see how fast i could fill the screen with the letter "E" vs BASIC code (POKE x,y) as with BASIC you could see it fill as the loop executed. with PUSH i figured the stack would grow till it filled all memory, including the memory mapped video screen. it did. not to mention overwriting itself eventually of course. with the machine language code the screen was instantly filled and the machine locked up before i could even begin to take my finger off the RETURN key heh. i was impressed. helped me understand just how fast straight machine code was vs interpreted code.

Nice, but do we really need sidechains? I don't think so.

Nice, but do we really need sidechains? I don't think so. Any upgrade to bitcoin is a huge bonus and very welcome. Especially when the sidechains have a different proof of work algorithm than the mainchain. Bitcoin should will be upgraded to the point where altcoins will become obsolete and anyone and everyone will buy bitcocaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain to the moon, past the mars rover into the pegasus galaxy.

I’m not sure how they account for transaction batching in the NVT calculation, as the number of transactions is falling due to batching. On Liquid, not that excited. It is a private highway for Bitcoin whales to quickly and silently move their Bitcoin. Access is not available to regular users. It goes against the democratic principles of Bitcoin.

Liquid does not implement sidechains, as originally envisioned (as a permissionless, uncensorable, two-way peg).

balls I remain confident that Bitcoin is intended to be decentralised and depermissioned. Maybe you were thinking of XRP?

President Trump has been briefed on the market sell off this afternoon. A senior White House official gives me this comment now: “This is a bull market correction. It’s probably healthy. This will pass and the US economy remains strong.” — Eamon Javers (@EamonJavers) October 10, 2018

Maybe it’s a bottom signal. Edit: the floor is holding surprisingly strong at the moment. Too early to call bottom but it’s interesting to watch. Am a bit wary of these stories of institutional investors in the OTC market. It all sounds a bit Chinese NY / Wall St bonuses to me.
