Caring about the environment is for pussies. You're supposed to eat raw meat and fart diesel fumes if you want to be a right wing Alpha in this day and age. If you want to prove yourself go bleach a coral reef and burn down a rain forest.

Hey. Don't denigrate raw meat.

I love raw meat and I'm not some knuckle-walking conservative redneck. Not some politically correct goody-two-shoes liberal either.

Alphas have better things to do with their time than waste it on politics.

Just call that raw meat "steak tartare" and you become a stuckup, white-wine-drinking card-carrying member of the liberal elite.

Can you just liquefy it?

Well yes, at very high pressures.

The current (type IV, the type V tanks are experimental) tanks hold it at 700bar, that is 10,000psi...  ...

I started wondering what it would take to liquefy and store elemental hydrogen
according to the wikipedia liquid hydrogen page,
"To exist as a liquid, H2 must be cooled below hydrogen's critical point of 33 K."
So you can't store and ship liquid hydrogen on an industrial scale.
I read somewhere that current research and development aims to store hydrogen by infusing it into other materials, I don't remember what exactly, but maybe a polymer or something.

In other news,

You got to know when to hodl

New Spyware Replaces Crypto Wallets on Clipboard via Telegram: Report

Amerian Internet infrastructure firm Juniper Networks has found a new spyware that uses Telegram app to replace crypto addresses with its own.

Masad Clipper and Stealer

Ongoing threat signals
Specifically, the malware uses Telegram as a Command and Control (CnC) channel, which reportedly allows the malware some anonymity. This malware is written using Autoit scripts and then compiled into a Windows executable, according to the report. After being installed, Masad Stealer starts by collecting sensitive information from the system like crypto wallet addresses, credit card browser data, PC and system information.

Segwit adoption skyrockets over past week!



https://twitter.com/RedditBTC/status/1177880651292381184?s=20

More people to enjoy their bitcoin transactions much faster and also little bit of reduction in their transaction fee.

What other benefit could we get from adopting to segwit?

Any techies.

All the QC fud last week?

Fucking lol. Fat finger buying tether at US$400 each

Haha, there really should be protections on that shit for stable(not)coins!
What was the volume?

Incel achieves mission of standing up to Chads and Stacys by killing 10 with van

https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/toronto-van-attack-police-interview

Minassian connected with likeminded men primarily through message boards on 4chan and Reddit, he said. The forums reveal incel discussions dwelling on outrageous expressions of misogyny. Primary themes include: vivid threats of rape, death and subjugation of women; urging violence against men who are sexually active; and bleak, often suicidal self-denigration.

Although he said he doesn’t hold “any political views,” he was attracted to forums featuring “political discussions with an alt-right bias,” he said. “It was very blunt and honest,” he said of the online posts. There he learned the “red pill truths about why women choose to date obnoxious men.

It’s time for real men to stand up against outrageous misogyny on social media.  

And get dogpiled by a bunch of PC snowflakes?


I'll pass.


Not that i would ever sign up for that social media crap to begin with. People need to put that shit on ignore.

On-chain data can show us how long someone has been holding their Bitcoin before selling

Based on ASOL, the avg coin had been held less than 30 days during the price dip

= the sell off wasn't from long term holders selling their stack

Care to explain why?

He dont care of environment. He care of his electricity. He is producing it for himself. You depend on the country to provide it for you. Who is socialist here? You are.

Future and in soem countries allready a reality is that everyoen will produce electricity and freely trade it with whoever eh wil want. Or donate it to whoever he wil want. And buy it from whoever he will want.   No matter what you socialist will want to tell us!!!

And how does on chain data show coins held on exchanges?


No btc exchange data here and the data they use is dubious at best. Using deposits and withdrawals to determine how long an individual holds a coin on an exchanges wallet is a poor metric.

Sounds like a plan! Shouldn't waste another Saturday in front of a screen.

Funny thing is i though it was mid week when i got up this morning!

Well there is also an increased risk of suddenly losing all your coins.

How do people die from mental health illnesses if its not suicide?

Stress, depression, traffic accidents from being stressed the fuck out, health issues caused from stress and depression, drinking yourself to death due to stress or depression, suicide due to stress and depression. Basically stress is a killer and depression is a slower and more painful killer.

No, there's not. Its never happened. No one has carried out an "anyone can spend" attack because it can't be done.

Mishaps in the past were due to an improper implementation of Segwit by an exchange or wallet, not Segwit itself. The risk now is zero unless you are using deprecated software.

For more on why there's no such thing as an "anyone can spend" attack:

The claim goes roughly like this:

There would be a growing incentive for a 51 % attack as the number of SegWit outputs accumulates. The attack would be to “disable” SegWit, reinterpret SegWit scripts as “anyone-can-spend”, and then steal all SegWit coins.

This was repeated numerous times on Reddit and rehashed by parties like nChain or Bitcoin.com.
A transaction is valid, if nothing in the combined script triggers a failure and the top stack item is non-zero. Scripts are considered as “anyone-can-spend”, if there is no condition attached to be fulfilled for the script execution.

Segregated Witness uses empty scriptSigs (when not using P2SH) and scriptPubKeys that consists of a 1-byte push opcode for 0 to 16, indicating the witness program version, followed by a data push between 2 and 40 bytes for the witness program. The witness program is then interpreted, executed and enforced by Segregated Witness aware software.

Any miner that stops enforcing Segregated Witness rules and starts to create invalid blocks, namely blocks falsely spending coins that require a witness program to be executed, would be partitioned off the network by other miners and users.

But let’s assume the worst case for a moment: 51 % or more of all miners go rogue and start to create invalid blocks by not enforcing Segregated Witness rules. Honest miners would still consider these blocks as invalid and build their own valid chain, but given that they are a minority, at some point they end up as shorter chain.

There would then be two separate chains, one from the rogue miners, and one from the honest miners. They have hard forked and the chains are no longer compatible.

Other participants in the network, in particular full nodes, do not follow the longest chain per se, but the longest chain they consider as valid. Full node users would then also consider the chain from the rogue miners as invalid, and follow the chain of the honest miners, which enforce Segregated Witness rules. Segregated Witness scripts are not vulnerable.

It may be worth to note that nodes running old software, namely software that isn’t Segregated Witness aware, would indeed follow the rogue chain in this scenario. This is expected and inherently the case, given that Segregated Witness is a soft fork.

There appears to be a bundle of evidence pointing to the fact that psychiatric drugs shorten life-span generally. Also and more specifically, neuroleptic malignant syndrome caused by antipsychotics, serotonin syndrome caused by antidepressants, etc., can be fatal. I'm guessing then that the deaths caused by mental illness can be attributed to the medications mentally ill people sometimes take. Side effects, if you will.

Why is that functionality even there?
