Merit of the Beast.  Now don't spoil this number by randomly awarding me dozens. Or do if you're really itching.  I'm dry so you will be stuck at 666 for a while  Pity. My advanced psychology trick didn't work...  Related: A few days ago someone posted a link to a thread where members can upload screenshots of interesting merit/activity/etc figures. I haven't been able to find it by searching - either bitcointalk or google. The link was in this thread, of course. Can anyone help?

Wait so Bitcoin = bad because Segwit is "indeed an alteration of the Bitcoin protocol"
BTC is suboptimal not merely because SegWit is an alteration, but because the SegWit Omnibus Changeset is a net negative alteration. but bcash Bsv = good because their shitty changes are "legitimate claim to a protocol change"
One of the things that makes BSV good is that it is being incrementally returned to the original Bitcoin protocol. Do try to keep up. Thus coming back to my comment about original design of planes not having jet engines and cars not having air bags etc... Can you provide any other technology which was not improved and is stuck at its original design? BSv's whole premise relies on cult thinking rather than logic. The design of first car, computer, TV etc etc etc have little to do with their current revisions and no one cares about ENIAC and steam powered cars. U in principle say that original Bitcoin (pre alterations incl Segwit) didn't work, had no enjines, no proper script whatsoever But that is the cult, that core / BS created , i.o. to sell u 2nd layer and script 'engines' cause it s still on the cult ticker btc. Take a step back, not Back, but back to the roots (yeah, it could get a cult)

Here you go, Your fellow Fillippone posted the weird merit number thread link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5171113.msg52024235#msg52024235Of course the merit of the beast has already been covered, but you can try!

If we are here to observe, i´ll do it..
I observe more blue each period.. more blue dots, and with a higher slope I observe green and yellow dots having lesser slope.. and i observe less red dots each period..
so, my l33t TA skillz tell me to join the peaks and... hmm.. expect a 2000% by 2021 ?
Thats the best i can do. I just got meal and my stomach is having all the blood. My brain is idling.
So $200k.... I'm OK with that... 2000% of $3500 is $70k. That is a bit pessimistic prognosis to me.

I have a technical question about my bitcoin node for my fellow verifiers. My bitcoin node runs on a linux box. I kept it switched off while I was away. When I got back, I found the main drive had some problem, so I replaced it and reinstalled the system and some of the software, including bitcoind. So far so good. After this, I proceeded to restore the latest daily backup of the .bitcoin directory, which among other things contains the local copy of the blockchain. I then left the node running to verify and sync. The surprise came when the catching up was done, and I launched the new daily backup. I use rsync, so only files that have changed actually get transferred. Well, apparently about half of the blocks need uploading to backup, which was never the case during my previous daily backup routine. Why have older block files changed? I'm talking about blk0XXXX.dat files. The latest is blk01790.dat, so I expected the backup to begin well after blk01000.dat, but the current backup (still running) begins with .bitcoin/blocks/blk00028.dat .bitcoin/blocks/blk00031.dat .bitcoin/blocks/blk00033.dat .bitcoin/blocks/blk00036.dat .bitcoin/blocks/blk00037.dat .bitcoin/blocks/blk00038.dat What could have happened?

I run a node but I’m not that tech gifted if I’m perfectly honest. You might be better off posting this here - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=4.0achow101, the mod on that sub is close to genius level. He’s saved my ass (thinking I’ve lost a lot of coins a few times). He replies to most threads & that’s also where the gifted techies hang out.
