I don't  buy the whole anti-Gensler sentiment...
He certainly knows his stuff.  His MIT lectures "Blockchain and money" are among the best on the topic out there.

I tend to think Gensler is good for Bitcoin and bad for shitcoins...

There is a quite reasonable explanation why he wasn't answering the mEth questions in the hearing straightly.
That is, his agency is probably building a case against mEth.

Britons who keep gardens green should get council tax cut, study suggests
https://uk.yahoo.com/style/britons-keep-gardens-green-council-060037308.html


This is very interesting considering my council tax just increased by 6% and I suddenly also have to pay yearly to get my garden waste collected. I can foresee many people not bothering and private gardens rotting away or just getting paved over.

Thus in reality the opposite is going to happen from what should happen like everything local and national governments touch.

I just burn most of my recyclable and garden rubbish anyway they only pick up fortnightly if I remember to put the bins out

"leet". In leet speak, it's slang for "elite," as in "extremely skilled" (generally but not always with the implication of being extremely skilled at hacking or computer programming). Someone might be described as being a "1337 h4x0r," by way of one example.

Another bitcoin Epoch, another hashpower ATH, another difficulty ATH.

Bitcoin mining difficulty increased by 1.71% to 48.71T, a record high.

Difficulty went vertical lately, and is continuously raising.



The only ATH I care about.
Until we hit 170,000 USD, of course, because of… reasons.

Went to take a bit of a look at the hashrate on mempool.space after reading your post since it's been a while. And before I get to checking out some of the charts the first thing I notice is that the mempool is only 5 blocks deep.

Does anyone know what happened to all those ordinals blocks or whatever those things were called?

The fad died off just like the FUD around it?

[philipma1957]

the testing was done so the action slowed down.

btc blocks at 6.25 have had stretches of fees at 1-2 btc a block.

Most of those high fee time periods were testing ways to manipulate the fee structure 8n such a way that a pool can turn a bigger profit by making fees get too high.

Thanks for posting, I would have missed it otherwise. It went pretty well.

I wish I could go watch one of these larger rockets take off. I'd have to travel a long way for that though so in the meantime I'll settle with my Estes.

Impressive SpaceX launch. Hopefully they get the flip and stage separation right next time.
