Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

[lightfoot]

Remember stuffing DIMMs in a PCI (pre-PCIe) card for a faster boot?

Yes. Also AT bus cards. Though they were DIPs at the time.

S-100 for the win!

UNIBUS, only way to go. Also had the failed unibus address register (FUBAR) which basically told the programmer they were fucked.

One more haiku
Roach making noises
Best thread is getting boring
Long sideways market

Roach. Angry noises.
The Jews did Nine-Eleven.
Bitcoin really sucks.

W.O. Thread micg and company almost finishing
Mic getting hammerd
Wodka martini
+-4 red wines
Dessert whiskey or irish coffee still nerds to come
Maybe gonna look for a JEW in antwerp a religious one and give him a F***ing HUG
Still not selling any of me coins
#F***ed up saturday

For sure Eddie gets my last merit this evening
Must be Hero as fast as possible

Worst haiku ever
Micg too drunk to write
No more merits

That haiku is wrong
I was very sleepy then
Will correct it now

Worst haiku ever
Micgoosens too drunk to write
No more merits sent

What was your involvement? NVRAM or controller development? Civil or military?

I realize SSDs date back to the late 1980s. I'm fascinated by the early history.

I always saw storage as the main performance bottleneck in any computer system. I figured when cheap low-power-consumption high-capacity dependable solid state storage was achieved, we'd see a whole new world of portable devices.

It's not surprising that the first netbooks and then smartphones and tablets followed closely behind the development of MLC and TLC flash and controllers with improved wear leveling and garbage collection algorithms. Sure, improved battery and radio technologies helped but the mobile revolution was spurred by SSDs.

Inb4 jbreher fully dox himself: He is a fucking good mass storage engineer/developer. Would love he tells us more details if he feels like. He may have a wrong view of what is the true Bitcoin but the guy really knows his shit and has more high stakes pro level technical background that most of us here. Respect.

And just like that, his hard-on for big-blocks becomes entirely clear!
Man's gotta make a livin'...

[d_eddie]

Out of merits now
Merit sources where art thou
I need more merits

Mmmm bones didn’t you had a double upgrade of stashes    

Tried to make a haiku of it ....
But still need to try better cause still not getting it
Next one must be spot on before posting

My well of source merits is overflowing at the moment. However, I have to guard against being too generous and carefree. Don't want to see a bunch of sour grapes bitching showing up in Meta and reputation boards about my meriting behavior.  

Goose is still wining
and dining his fair lady,
whiners keep whining.

Bullish or bearish?

My favorites in the last bunch

Allow me a potentially controversial statement:

Of course he believes in big blocks.  He is a mass storage engineer. To him, the solution to all (most) problems is more storage.

Edits:

Ask a lawyer how to fix Bitcoin and they will say you need to build in AML.  Ask a banker how to fix Bitcoin and they will tell you you need a central permissioning authority.  Ask an accountant and they will tell you you need an API to the IRS.  Ask a mass storage engineer and get a mass storage solution.....


Big blocks are just another form of mass storage.

Sorry. I had no intent at doxxing him.

I 'd already figured out he was one of the more technologically knowledgeable and experienced people here.

I was just curious about his implied involvement in SSD development.

SSDs were my biggest source of tech fascination a dozen years ago. Then I discovered Bitcoin.

Of course he believes in big blocks.  He is a mass storage engineer. To him, more storage is easy and the answer to all (most) problems. 

So we can safely ignore anything he has to say about big block forks as his opinion is massively biased by his profession. Which is fair enough.

Ah yeah, I have already made some subtle joke to him about Bcash and mass storage in the past....

I guess if this is a bull trap...I will happily be first to admit you got me. Looking at longer term indicators seems to show a bounce to $4.8k-$5.3k might be possible.

Actually he already doxxed himself by using his real name. I'd never checked him out before.

Wow. That's a pretty good set of credentials and accomplishments there. I'm impressed.

Yes thank you.  Things were getting out of hand. But I live in a glasshouse, so decided best if I did not throw
stones.
