**LOTTA CAPSTYPINGS*** Happy Saturday!
Just to be clear, you seem to be stating that a future where transaction fees being $100, $1000 or even more per on-chain tx is a distinct possibility? That as a possibility is implicit in my thoughts, I'd say, yes. OK, so here's the relevant followup question. When average tx fees are $1000, what is the typical profile of a person willing to run a non-mining validator? Let's start simple on this - how many tx per year might the average such person make? It could be just one or two, but sure it won't be peanuts. Running a node still makes sense in such a case.

Do your own fucking due diligence, people, instead of being a shill for a political party that doesn't even exist in your own country.
It's been ages since I watched that film, but I remember clearly the bottom-line, which has nothing to do with Alex Jones, or any political party in the US. You missed the point I was making in that the moral of the film was co-opted by anti-maskers. The film also has nothing to do with wearing a mask. Its being politicized in a way the filmmaker never intended, for the sake of making an edgy meme which just happens to represent a component of the ideology of a political platform in the U.S. Surely you've seen this by now or something like it:   So what was going on back in 1918? Big brother trying to force conformity on the masses for the purposes of ushering in a new world order? @nutildah Of course I watched it. It was not my intention to promote any sort of propaganda (which I was not even aware of). Having said that, everything sparked from v8's warning sign posted a few pages back. To me the stay home mantra is kind of similar to another form of consume, obey, conform. I will translate it for the times: Do smart working from home (stay home) Keep moving the economy (consume and spend your money) Keep social distancing (conform). Isn't it sad?  So long as you don't actually believe that meme was a real scene from the movie, which is what I feared. Perhaps we're just trying to globally combat a pandemic by encouraging proper hygiene until it has subsided? Or is that just way too looney tunes of a conspiracy?

Moved to a separate thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5277804.new#newHi guys, I hope your bitcoin hangout helps me with one question.
I am writing a guide for a event related to the bitcointalk community (the idea of the annual Crypto Community Award), which will include 20 nominations with the possibility of voting. For example: Antihero (A contender for maximum hostility from members of the forum) or / Scandal of the year / Event of the year / and so on. When I finish, I will be happy to discuss possible additions and will not refuse help with moderating the Crypto Award. In the meantime, I want to know your opinion on this idea. I would like a title that recognizes my contribution as being worth more than giving stolen coins to others (apologies to the honest donators who don't go around calling attention to their donation). I think a good title would be Inventor. Short, simple - I didn't give financial value a time the forum needed it, but I gave other value - the same kind the forum itself does to a community. So I will lock this topic and hopefully wake up one day with a custom title. Smiley
After the announcement of the results, it would not be difficult for theymos to add the winners their well-deserved titles, for example (Moderator of the Year, Antihero, Guru, etc.). Vod would be happy to get a headline describing his contribution or, for example, the Vod/OG scandal of the year. Perhaps Lauda will become an anti-hero due to thousands of feedback messages, and The Pharmacist will be a Bitcointalk guru. best regards ~icopress

Uh yeah....I'm the furthest thing from a bitcoin guru that you could possibly find, so I don't know how my name got thrown into the mix. Even if you put my name in for a vote, it would be a waste of your keyboard strokes--so don't bother. The rest of the idea sounds fine to me, except I'm not sure Theymos would put his seal of approval on such an award system. the first part is a fine idea, but theymos is unlikely to add the titles, as was said in that thread
Don't know what thread you're referring to, but I believe you. This doesn't sound like something Theymos would get behind. Or in front of. Or anywhere near. But life is full of surprises, so we'll see.

@icopress - Responding to you here rather than via PM as it’s on topic in this thread as that’s where you posted. I think custom titles would be cool for those who deserve one. If you want me to be honest, I don’t think theymos will grant too many people titles (if any at all). I’m happy to vote in your thread if you do some kind of award type ceremony

I just gave an example ... since people abstract from those they know. As for your persona for this title .. It's not about the selection of nominees by one person, be it the OP or the moderator. I guess the user should be nominated by at least 3-5 people. There will be several threads interconnected, for example (Threads for discussing and nominating nominees, a thread for voting and publishing results ... in a word, there will be a solid infrastructure for this event).I think custom titles would be cool for those who deserve one. If you want me to be honest, I don’t think theymos will grant too many people titles (if any at all).
Great, I just wanted some feedback. That's what I'm talking about, people will decide for themselves who is worthy. And probably you need to put everything in a separate thread so as not to deviate from the topic Wall Observer BTC / USD

Surely you've seen this by now or something like it:   You've probably seen signs like these as well from those times:     Social distancing from blacks back then wasn't due to hate... it was due to health. Medical science believed that colored people could pass diseases, viruses and sicknesses if they weren't "socially distanced". Do you support all signs and "social distancing" from the 1900's? Seems criminal 100 years later, right? So what was going on back in 1918? Big brother trying to force conformity on the masses for the purposes of ushering in a new world order?
I think the theme of Big Brother trying to hold people down was common then and is still common now. Especially with this scammy COVID19 shit and peoples retarded cloth masks that make them feel like they are saving the world lol!

Hi guys, I'm Alex, I hope your bitcoin hangout helps me with one question.

So I will lock this topic and hopefully wake up one day with a custom title. Smiley

Vod would be happy to get a headline describing his contribution or, for example, the Vod/OG scandal of the year. Perhaps Lauda will become an anti-hero due to thousands of feedback messages, and The Pharmacist will be a Bitcointalk guru. best regards ~icopress Seems to me that you should start a thread (or threads) on this topic in order to attempt to get feedback, and also to gauge how popular your topic is in order to stand alone and/or to get members to participate in the thread. Furthermore, you can surely link such thread(s), once you create it (them) in threads like this, in order to inform members of the existence of such thread(s). Seems to me that just the creation of various titles (even if temporary) might end up being controversial.. unless those titles were voted on with a broader swath and the participation of "somewhat established" forum members.. so maybe you would need either a poll within your topic or separate threads for different titles that would be considered (or nominated). I personally really cringe at anything that attempts to categorize crypto as if it were some kind of broader category and that bitcoin fits into such category as if it were an equal to the various shitcoins - even though technically "crypto" is likely an accurate description, even though it still irritates me because frequently shitcoins are trying to suggest that they are some kind of equal to bitcoin - even though none of them would exist without king daddy either providing cover for them and/or actual open source hashing power security for the whole space..... that includes a variety of scams and deceptive projects - that largely in the long run to the extent that any of them might contribute value would be absorbed into bitcoin or end up running on bitcoin as a second, third or fourth layer. There are quite a few forum members that are bothered in a variety of ways by describing crypto or the use of such categorization that involves bitcoin in it, when bitcoin seems to be a category in itself in terms of how to think about the space.. Many of us know the description: "there is bitcoin and there is 'shitcoins'. " Anyhow, point is that titles tend to be controversial, and likely you would need to have a pretty open process, and I doubt that theymos is even going to get involved in endorsing such titles unless you either get him to agree in advance or you have some kind of overwhelming participation of "somewhat established" forum members that cause theymos to want to endorse such system once you have already established it. the first part is a fine idea, but theymos is unlikely to add the titles, as was said in that thread
There is already a thread? Are you suggesting the thread in which Vod is quoted? That post from Vod should have a clickable link, by the way.. just to make it easy to reference and to verify context. humour honed in hell temper forged at the bottom V8s is shameless
I would like to compete for the title 'Shameless grandstanding whore'.
hahahahaha Case in point: the above is what might end up happening... Members lobbying for some kind of title...  I am not afraid to say that you are a shameless grandstanding whore, as demonstrated by your actions. Call me a merciless twat, if you must.

Do your own fucking due diligence, people, instead of being a shill for a political party that doesn't even exist in your own country.
It's been ages since I watched that film, but I remember clearly the bottom-line, which has nothing to do with Alex Jones, or any political party in the US. You missed the point I was making in that the moral of the film was co-opted by anti-maskers. Say what? The altered version of the film image read, “STAY HOME”, not “WEAR A MASK”. The difference is substantive, insofar as I think that many people who object to lockdowns and the shutdown of society would, of their own accord, wear masks. Yet you drag a broad brush of what is hereby an inaccurate “anti-masker” label, then tack on Alex Jones and Donald Trump—plus “retarded” insults. Agenda much? And do you apply the same intellectual honesty and accuracy elsewhere? Of course, I will not insult your intelligence by suggesting that you mistook simple English words. I don’t think that you’re retarded.  I guess Mr. Carpenter was way ahead of the times. Unreal. ::) LOL. You are propagating the retarded meme of some Alex Jonestown woketivist... [...] Do your own fucking due diligence, people,
This also has nothing to do with masks, but rather, with an abject lack of historical perspective: So what was going on back in 1918? Big brother trying to force conformity on the masses for the purposes of ushering in a new world order? Your smug contempt is misplaced. Under various names, the “New World Order” thing has been ongoing since much before 1918. It is indeed real, although most of the people who talk about it have no idea what they are talking about. To obviate a potentially long discussion reaching back before the Twentieth Century, I will simply point out that the Federal Reserve was established in 1913. (And if you believe that that was benignly intended, I have a bridge hot defi ICO to sell you...) The public discussion of the international conspiracy to enslave the whole world has also been ongoing longer than you think. Mentioned just for kicks: I recall once having happened across a political cartoon in a newspaper from (IIRC) 1906 1911 depicting Karl Marx being welcomed to the United States by a group of famous American bankers and industrial magnates. Off the top of my head, I think it caricatured Morgan, Rockefeller, Carnegie, and a few others. Unfortunately, I do not have it handy; and I lost the reference (wherefore “just for kicks”). I should find that again some day. Perhaps you could help, applying those skills at digging up obscure articles from century-old newspapers. Surely you have spent much time perusing historical primary sources, as I have? Edit: Thank you, Last of the V8s. That deserves much more than +2.Perhaps we're just trying to globally combat a pandemic by encouraging proper hygiene until it has subsided? Or is that just way too looney tunes of a conspiracy? No, we’re they’re trying globally to_combat a low-lethality pandemic by locking everybody up like caged animals, guaranteeing that the animals will be controlled with hunger pangs by simultaneously inflating the currency supply and imploding economic production, instituting a mass-surveillance wet-dream under the rubric of public health protection via “contract tracing”, etc., etc. Edit: LOL, V8s. Yes, that was a delightful typo whereas “contract tracing” is a kind of FATF thing...If they were just telling people to wear masks and wash their hands, and advising elderly and other at-risk people to self-isolate, then you would have a point. Focus on the IF.
