Just updated my node. I hadn't noticed v0.20. When did it come out?

Code:

Fifteen buys of the size of MicroStrategy's would consume the total annual mining production.

the list of 500 largest public companies ends with $3.2 bil market cap, so maybe 600-700 public and 489 private (unicorns), total of about 1000,
so 15 companies would be about 1.5%.

Ah, thanks. Gosh, June?? It feels like three months have been taken away from my life.
I've got to find a way to make up for it.

sentiment of bitcoiners seems quite negative against ethereum.

people fear what they don't understand, I guess. Or maybe it's envy these guys are being swamped with coins.

btw: not saying ETH is a good investment, I have strong doubts. Ethereum being successful does not necessaril imply ETH will be valuable.

also: I'm not endorsing ethereum, I just think it's highly interesting, mainly from a technical perspective and for the implications it might have (which I can't yet fully imagine). Unsure who's really behind it, either, and what the larger plan is there...

One thing I can say for sure, though: comparing ethereum to any old altcoin pump & dump is just fucking lame. If you do that you're either too lazy to take a look at what it is and therefore ignorant, or you are hostile against it for some reason and spreading fud.

ok

aesma isn't my name, if it was it would be a bit strange too, although most people don't know what it means, and don't check.

I learned not to check on names when I loaned my friend my MMORPG account and he created a character named Lemon Party. Big mistake.

bitcoin doesn't care, diff will retarget and it will still be the most secured asset on the planet

so we are 69.48 blocks ahead of pace.

if flooding hurts hash rate in 1 day we will be under 60 blocks ahead of pace.

along with the 12300+ price miners such as myself will be smiling.

BTW if you pay attention I don't post here very much but i have been doing so for the last month or so.

Basically I really think we are going onward and upwards for a while.

quick follow up

Looks like some one had to shut down a lot of gear due to the flood


we dropped over 1 block per hour for the last 5-6 hours

this would be good for me.means more coins will be earned by the farm next jump.

it would be nice if this keeps up for a few days.

<snip>....miner stats

Kinda cool to have a miner posting in the wob thread.
Back in the day,* I used to mine bitcoin when it was actually worth it for little ol' me and my measly S4.
Was just curious what you are mining with today?  
I've been outta that game for awhile now.

( * "back in the day" in the real world usually refers to like 20-30 years ago....in this space it's like,... 4-5 years ago.. lol)

  I manage 1.7ph of btc
I manage cpus and Gpus  which convert shit coins to btc
and I manage some LTC/Doge gear. I convert all the ltc to doge.

 I get a share of the coins and own part of this gear.

So I am hodling BTC and Doge

After years of mining I have finally paid off all the gear and I am pulling in some decent coin. I created a power plan that basically gives me a share of the coins earned under all circumstances so it will always earn some coins for me. Of course that can lessen monthly when diff rises earning in btc shrinks.

 Which is why I am here rooting for 13k to get past by the end of the month. As price needs to outstrip difficulty.

    Basically I can endlessly hodl, but at 63 years old I am looking to retire in 2023. Some coins will be
 Liquidated coins then.  It is not like there is a fortune anyway.
 I don't have 20 btc and 100,000,000 doge to hold. If I did I would start to get nervous as that would be around 600k and I would feel my hands get very weak.

 I am positioned well if we rise  upwards and onwards. So it makes sense to come here and root for the bull.
