Wow a 4 MB block is mined today first time in Bitcoin history... I don't know how that happened but does not seem right.

There must be something missing here, What if someone tries to add much larger jpeg. Can it be exploited?

The first ~ 4 MB block in #Bitcoin history, mined by Luxor
Ladies and gentlemen, wow!

EDIT: the 3.94MB transaction that filled the block served to add this jpeg to the timechain, here the inscription on ordinals.com

I hope there won't be the same 2017 discussion about spam transactions and blocksize again 
but then... maybe we also get another big fork aka free money again .... I'd say bring it on

A costly move it won't be affordable to do this a lot.

Hyy i hope you are doing well.

It certainly looks like $24,000 will be broken tonight.  

An actual sorcerer in the making.  did you throw a dart with a blindfold on, or was your predictive method less random?   I will admit that we surely are getting a decent amount of ongoing UPpity price pressures, especially since the fed rate announcement.

[...]

I must be a pretty damn lucky blindfolded dart-throwing sorcerer, since price did break $24k... A new AYH, no? And then it dropped a little and is now hovering just under it. What's new?

Nope, no sorcery, luck or the Fed ( ), just this little math thingie:



Sure, this is so localized it may well be Fed-or-whatever-else-induced noise, but it's still fun to comment on and attempt to predict such UPpities...

UK interest rates to 4%

It may not sound like much but with most of the economy being used to near zero rates for over a decade I doubt this will work out well for the economy over the next few years.

I see two outcomes:
1. The higher interest rates will continue to slow down the economy hugely, a downturn in the housing market (which is already happening) with prices going down 30% (price effects are minimal at the moment with many people holding out but eventually things will shift). Rates will thus be cut pretty soon and possibly down back to 0.5% within 2 years. Inflation hopefully disappears and we may even see deflation.

2. People will weather the storm to a certain extent but will expect massive pay increases (we are still having many strikes in the UK). With layoffs in the tech sector especially I can't see this happening but IF salaries do increase inflation will simply not go away and in turn we would need even higher interest rates.


It will be interesting to see if further global events will cause even more problems: Russia either destroying Ukraine completely or giving up. The latter I can't see happening no matter how much the west wants that. Maybe things will escalate even further and give China ideas with Taiwan. China energy demand (due to reopening) leading to higher oil prices.

4 MB is the absolute block size limit. The transaction itself is 99% witness data which can be pruned by nodes.

I posted an article here that explains how it works the other day, guess you didn't see it.

Does this formula have any other meaning than the result is 21*10⁶? Which is, of course, a great number.

So for i =0 I get 10500000 as a result. For i=1 I get 5250000 and so on. So does e.g. 10500000 have any meaning or can anyone continue working with the numbers / this formula? For example make a formula to calculate the mined bitcoin per year?

It would be great if I could scribble all over the blackboards at school. 



Any maths professionals here?

$25000 by the end of this month? We keep hitting resistance around 23/24000 and we cannot get past that atm. I would feel more comfortable that the bear market will not return if we can hit that $25000

Well, I am not a maths professional, but...

The purpose of writing it in that form is basically just to show how the halvings work.  There is a halving of the block reward every 210,000 blocks.  The block reward for each block in the ith halving period will be 50/(2^i), and the total of bitcoins generated in that halving period will, of course, be 210,000 * [50/(2^i)].  The sum of coins generated in all halvings will be ~21,000,000 as we all know.

Sorry in advance if I have misunderstood your question.
