Just a brief update: First round of beers have gone out. I've intentionally used low-fees. The mempool has risen since I started, this morning, and is in the process of clearing up. With any luck, you folks start seeing at least one confirmation soon.
I sent PoolMinor an extra two beers as thanks for compiling the list.
Apologies for the drama, but JJG made me legitimately see red.
That, and I'm a bit pissed at myself for not trying to resolve the "logistics" of the "beer boast post" sooner. Pure laziness on my part, really, and in retrospect, I have no excuse for not paying out.
In my defense, I recognize that I had difficulty reconciling the logistics of handling losing the call - "I can't really buy drinks for the entire thread. That is not practical. How do I resolve this in a fair way to the community ?"
It took me seeing red before I saw a reasonable solution.
Again, sincere apologies for trying to weasel my way out of it. It genuinely was not my intention, and I hope my resolution was considered fair.
EDIT: Just saw the entire first round of people get their first confirmation, so, cheers to you.
I gave you a merit on this post, even though I also gave you a lot of (likely deserved) shit in the past few days, and perhaps there is a bit of an acceptance of responsibility within this post that reaches some acceptable threshold rather than ongoing attempts to project fault. I actually don’t expect you to discontinue with your whining, attention whoring and other blawb bullshit, but at least this post seems to contain some self-reflection, rather than overboard emotional projection. Great! Can you guys now cheer and give each other a kiss? We would all be very glad.

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in
Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it
will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

[EDITED OUT]
I drink several litres of beer and wine daily, so yeah, a bit alcoholic maybe. It's just that I never get (nowhere near) drunk and that until some years ago I was a VERY HEAVY DRINKER (whisky coke) so this is nothing in comparison. I quit whisky in december 2013... because of reasons. I also quit smoking (2-3 packs a day). Never did other drugs. I am a health conscious person, you know. Responsible drinking my ass though.
And yeah, I fear it could drop lower.... Otherwise I would be buying with both hands.
2-3 packs seems quite a load, I normally smoke a pack a week but now when trying to quit other stuff it's a pack in 3 days and it seems quite excessive already, I get sick if I try to smoke more. Exception is only when drinking beer (6+), then I can smoke a full pack without feeling any different. Isn't alcohol one of the worst drugs?  But yeah, our tolerance differs quite a lot, some get drunk after 3 beers already, others drink a 12pack and don't seem to be affected at all.

Yep, who wants to be alone in here with just JJG for company.
If we believe the multiverse theory, there must be a universe out there filled with nothing but JJGs. Imagine it. If a single JJG can match the entire written output of a planet, what would a universe of JJGs be like? The Hubble telescope would peer into the darkest, nethermost regions of space, and all it would see is a new wall of text.

I've been sober for a full month already.
I'm not proud to admit this but "Taking a T break ? What is that ?! Better living through chemistry !"  TBH, I'm considering looking into getting pure CBD oilpens and experimenting with that, but I cannot justify paying the prices I'm seeing for 1g carts online. The "black market" real products are cheaper and WAY better IMO, than what is legally available online, to ship to all US States. Purchased some legal CBD bud a while back to experiment, and the shit tasted like ditch weed. Just awful stuff not worth the price, given the alternatives. I hope I live to see a day where the USA adopts a humane drug policy at the Federal level. Never mind all the fiat I am willing to invest in business opportunities, should it become legalized in my State. Have plans for a boutique operation if the political climate changes. T break has to be done once in a while anyways, otherwise the influenced state becomes a normal state and the fun fades with that. Same plans here, the boutique stuff, wonder how that will work out when trying to be sober. CBD buds, but that doesn't give a high, does it? Isn't that the "healing" side of cannabis without any high effects? A month behind me, another 5 to go, almost broke the cycle today but held strong and luckily the appetite is gone for now. I have a sicpack of beers in the fridge just to test my will power  they stay untouched for now.

Smoking is disgusting. It makes you feel weak, smell like shit.
I only smoke when I am on vacation and I still feel bad later. While having fun I feel like smoking amplifies the fun. While at work, since ,i feel like shit, I never smoke. (Amplifies the rage too) I gotta stop smoking in summer too.
Used to drink scotch, then I realized drinking heavy liquors is also a dumb idea. (Tires your liver, fucks up your stomach acid levels) Wine&Beer is the only ones I enjoy though they aren't good for stomach neither.
I'll limit myself to drinking only wine&beer probably and gonna delete the rest from my memory.

But yeah, our tolerance differs quite a lot, some get drunk after 3 beers already, others drink a 12pack and don't seem to be affected at all. Yes, 2-3 packs is quite a load. So much that I had the blood *way* too dense and it led me to some health risk. So I was given the option to quit and go on with my life or risk potential critical health problems. I chose to quit smoking. I didn't intend to quit my daily whisky coke consumption... but for some reason, quitting on smoking made that drink to taste too sweet to me... so I quit it too. If I were have able to smoke only a pack a week as you do, I would have never quit smoking. In my case it was easier to simply quit smoking for good than trying to reduce the amount. Maybe some day, when I have nothing to lose I will smoke again, I liked it. Yeah, there is a big difference in drug tolerance for each individual.... My grandfather kept being a very heavy smoker until his late eighties and that was not what killed him. Quitting smoking is one of the best decisions I took in my life. I would probably quit alcohol too if I considered it is putting my health at so much risk as smoking did, but I don't think so (nor do the doctors). Will I live a few years less? Probably. I accept that. Not that I am saying alcohol doesn't have any cons. In my case, being a responsible driver, sometimes I miss driving my sports car daily. I am even contemplating selling or putting it for hire.

I gave up smoking last year. It's unquestionably the most damaging thing I've ever done to myself. My brain has been fucked ever since. I can't concentrate on anything any more and I make very basic mistakes in everything. There have been no physical benefits whatsoever. If anybody is smoking and still enjoys it I suggest they keep going until they vomit their own giblets up in a fountain of blood and agony. I'll give it a bit more time and then probably take it up again for good.

I have a sicpack of beers in the fridge just to test my will power  they stay untouched for now. You can buy a THC type syrup that is for medicinal purposes. I have a contact online if you ever need it. Funnily enough it’s a UK based guy who sells it all through instagram. You ingest it through a pipette type thing. My gf’s Dad had cancer 2 years ago, he had it cut out & nothing came back but I’ve been buying him THC Cannabis Oil for 2 years and he’s ok now. Just to add a surgeon cut the tumour out, I’m just getting him the stuff to try & keep it away if you get me.

I had a lung X-RAY in December last year and my lungs were 100% healthy, no marks of smoking whatsoever. I have been smoking a pack a week on average for 15y now, though I do have occasional 1-2 month breaks when I feel like it. It might be due to my high psychical activity, I walk/jog over 100km weekly when its 10+ degrees, about 50-70km in winter time and try to hit the gym at least 2-3x times a week. Thanks for the offer LFC, I'll get back to you in April and try that one out

For men, excess is defined as 15 or more drinks a week. (The researchers defined a drink as just 5 ounces of wine, 12 ounces of beer or 1.5 ounces of spirits.) Obviously you're not an alcoholic per se, mic, just fucking with you  you clearly have it under control. But science wise, not so sure  EDIT: On another note, I do consider myself as an alcoholic when I do drink, as the amounts exceed way the "normal" limits. Though I have it under control and my social life has never suffered because of it. Just had that small health trouble a few years back which I told about a few hundred pages ago. Cheers for the merit Bob and LFC

T break has to be done once in a while anyways, otherwise the influenced state becomes a normal state and the fun fades with that.
 You can't argue that a high when smoking once a month differs from an everyday high quite alot, for me the everyday high eventually becomes a numb state and even being sober seems more fun. I can't wait for the laughs and munchies I get after a 6 month break  Will be epic.
