There must be some way out of here

Inside... 
"way" == zen

There's a time for zen.
And there's a time for dildos.

true zen you may find
when waiting within the flow
for the green dildo

https://stratumprotocol.org/ stratum2 came out
more decentralised mining or somesuch thing
actually there seem a lot of improvements, latency improved, empty block mining incentive lowered...

Biggest improvement was to send JSON overboard, imo.
There's some need for standards, of course, but when it comes to performance, proprietary data formats are mandatory.

Theymos boosted my merit power source by %175  

I wish he boosted the price of btc by %175 too.

Wow, that's very cool. Congratulations!

I wish he boosted the price of btc by %175 too.

Well, that's no longer a task of an individual. We'll all (institutional investors + us) boost it together.

I’ll be looking for some impressive posting to spray my big load over boys. Tired now though, going to bed.

For some reason, I am feeling tired today, too.  So many different things happening, even though the bitcoin price has been a little boring in the last few days, and yeah boring is if the BTC price is trending down or flat rather than up.  So, at least, we have a little time for resting, if the BTC price is not doing too much.

Regarding recent source merit jugglings, I did find it a little strange that more or less theymos has effectuated a sweeping increase of the issuance of source merits that is largely based on averaging how much source merits have been using their smerit supply in the past six months.  

Use it or lose it potential in the way that the change was decided, which also resulted in a strange statistical outcome of a reduction of the number of merit sources from 128 to 98 (not withstanding at least one new merit source, congrats to fillippone) and also a bit of a reduction in the total monthly smerits from a bit under 30k per month to a bit over 20k per month.  There still may be some tweaking going on, perhaps?  You can see the number of source merits and quantity of monthly smerits here.

Daaaaamn had another very exciting meeting with Kurious and learned a lot out of the meet again!!!

Thx for having dinner and some nice sharing of thoughts !!!!!

Re: "Bitcoin won't go up, there is no volume"

The volume shows up when we break ATH.

That's when the magic starts happening.

F***ing indeed, but don't mention it brother, let the n00bs play around

Overfinch used to be run by a guy called Crook. He was a charmless salesman who had me counting my fingers after shaking his hand, and these days they don't add anything except an expensive badge.

But... they used to do real engineering and could transform the old "classic" RR from something you only aimed up the motorway into a quite glorious beast that handled and steered like it really shouldn't have done.

Well suited to old Hendrix/Dylan appreciating V8 lovers.

Perhaps in a few hours we move

As long as I see from this thread:
(LIST)Open Merit Source Applications,waiting list.

At least three new MS were named today.
Other might reveal themselves later on.

Not sure where JJG got his figures from, though I too thought there were something like 128 at some point. They conflict with the ones here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5198889.msg53078228#msg53078228


anyway congrats and all that jazz

edit well this confirms some of jjg's numbers
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5180975.msg53079446#msg53079446
looks like he removed 30 or 40 and made 8??

How do you know if you got the bump?

[Last of the V8s]

Oh?  I had not seen that thread.  Thanks for the link.

 I suppose it goes to show that theymos might have some information that he uses to decide whether to approve a MS application, and such information is not really publicly known.  In other words, sometimes there are applications pending for members who some of us might have already considered to have been good potential merit sources, but for whatever reason theymos has not appointed them as such.

Once you are a merit source, as long as you are responsible with your spending of smerits, I would expect that theymos would keep in you such position, and maybe even increase your allotment from time to time, as today's surprise tweaking shows. 

I guess on the other hand, other things could come up in life, and not allow for active forum participation, so in that regard, there can be some burdens in spending much of your allocated smerits on a monthly basis (or really a rolling basis, as the smerits are coming in). 

Personally, I just keep track in order that I can attempt to spread out my spending of smerits throughout the month, but even my system has a decent amount of irrationality in spending or even  spontaneousness, but the spreading out seems to work better for me, but if there are times in which I am not active, then the allocation smerit reserves might cause a bit of a feeling of stress, too, - to feel a need to spend them in an reasonably expedited timeframe.

This two threads had been active and been answered recently through some PM's ....

MS allocation has been increased for the most active ones I think

Btw, night brothers, love you Kurious #no obviously !!!
