This is big. Blockstream Reveals Massive Bitcoin Mining Facilities, Fidelity An Early CustomerOn Thursday, blockchain technology company Blockstream revealed details related to their massive Bitcoin mining data centers in Quebec, Canada and Adel, Georgia. The facilities account for a combined 300 megawatts worth of energy capacity, and they’re currently available for hosting enterprise-level mining activities, in addition to Blockstream’s own mining operations.
The size of Blockstream’s mining facilities cannot be overstated. According to Blockstream CSO Samson Mow, the facilities would account for roughly 6 exahashes of Bitcoin mining power if used at full capacity with the latest ASIC mining hardware
This is 7.5% of mining hashpower (conservative hypotesis the miners are are all already turned on now).

[snip] Sorry it took me soo long, I've been under alot of pressure lately and when I have a little time I just didn't feel like doing the search. These metrics are measuring "work done", not security.
More "work done" doesn't necessarily mean "more security".
For example take the following two blockchains:
Bitcoin Cash (SHA-256 @ 2 PH/s) or ($5/s) Zcash (Equihash @ 4 GH/s) or ($3/s)
https://github.com/lukechilds/howmanyconfs.comThank you very much. Appreciated and digging into that. I would send more merits, but I am running sooo low atm. Never a problem buddy, and never worry about merits I don't care about them.

This is like telling people to put toilet paper between their hand and arse before wiping off. But many still don't even cover the keypad of an ATM machine when putting in their pin code Facepalm emoticon needed... bidet user unaffected. perhaps there is edge cases where it might happen but i do not wish to dwell on such things.

Here's Donald posing with a baby orphaned in the recent shootings. Behold the power of positivity. Things never seem so bad with a big smile and a thumbs up. We can say "Only in USA", truly unimaginable almost anywhere in the world. Collecting political points in one such tragedy should attract voters to vote for Trump again? Will one mass murder per day soon become two per day? Maybe Purge is not far from becoming reality...

God, I just typed a paragraph with the keyboard turned off!Well i was just saying not to feel obligated as your not a source or Legend yet so I am not offended if you save them for the memes, after all that is what fuels this thread and makes it a fun place to check everyday. I see alot of posts I want to merit but I scrooge mine to give to non lengendaries as much as possible. Some times These guys just drop a bomb I can't help but Merit though!

Crisis actor Donald Trump doesn't seem aware nobody believes in their false flag attacks at Mandalay Bay, El Paso, and Parkland, Florida, and everyone is well aware of his treason in trying to ban the 2nd amendment for his evil cult of Judaism masters.

Follow up article FedNow — US Federal Reserve Payment Tool a Threat to Banks, Not Crypto Banks, not cryptos?
Notably, the Fed’s announcement starts with an emphasis on “the rapid evolution of technology,'' which enables the Federal Reserve and the payment industry “to modernize the nation's payment system and establish a safe and efficient foundation for the future.” However, neither the press release nor the enclosed FAQs make a single mention of Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, Libra, blockchain or even digital currencies at large.
Indeed, it seems that FedNow wants to topple large banking institutions rather than cryptocurrencies. In fact, banking giants Citigroup, Bancorp and JPMorgan Chase have already started fighting the government’s new effort, as it seems to overlap with their own real-time payments system, the Clearing House, which the banks launched in 2017, following a cumulative $1 billion investment injection from those participating.
It is RIDICULOUS how bullish this is for Bitcoin. I watched this happen in the music industry with the advent of lossy compressed audio (MP3s). The RIAA started doing things like taxing blank CDs and suing napster users while the likes of Apple, and eventually Spotify built the rails for the new music delivery system for the world. By the time it was all over the music industry had been changed from the outside in. This is what Bitcoin will be doing to the financial systems of the world over the next 5 years. They actually added a verse to Mahatma's old song: First they ignore you... Then they laugh at you... Then they fight you... Then they lose focus , forget about you briefly, and start cannibalizing each other and themselves...Then you win.

It's the kikes trying to do an exact repeat the Bolshevik revolution in Russia, centralizing all power and control over everything. In the process of this centralization of power, many people who thought they were rich or important wind up dead in a ditch, so they're all fighting over who gets to be at the top rather than the mid level people who wind up stripped of all their assets and laying in a ditch. Virtually nobody benefits from Jewish communism. All the mid level people who thought they were part of the team just get robbed and murdered by the kikes at the top to consolidate their power.

Sixteenth Amendment ratification arguments have been rejected in every court case where they have been raised and have been identified as legally frivolous.[3]
Yes, they have been rejected. Without ever addressing the facts of the matter. At least in every case I have reviewed. Whaddaya expect? Statists gonna state. You live under a common law system. Judges make the law by interpreting the constitution, legislation and previous cases. If a judge says it, it’s law until overturned. That’s just how it works. If you want to tip over that particular apple cart, you are going to have to go back to the Norman Conquest in 1066. I think we are in violent agreement on this part. However... If the courts were to respect the law -- especially common law -- they would be able to trace their decisions through the precedents to the point where any matter of law was considered and judged upon. The basis of the income tax is a matter that cannot be traced back to a source decision. Because there exists none. United States v Thomas carefully trawls through the ratification argument. This is clearly a source decision that the 16th Amendment has been properly ratified. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_protester_Sixteenth_Amendment_argumentsThanks. I'll absorb it when time permits. Though from a superficial glance, I have the following comments: - lower court decision not necessarily applicable to courts other than 7th Circuit Illinois jurisdiction - timing of 1986 is kind of too little too late (I guess better late than never) - seems to cover only the contention that enactment of differing texts is still valid for the amendment process - most germane, as a rebuttal to my points, completely ignores the lack legislative and regulatory authority and misapplication

There's no point for the FED to posa a "threat to banks" or "topple large banking institutions".
Quite. Especially in light of the fact the the FED is actually a private corporation owned by the banks.
