Nothing. I'm away from home for a bit.
how many merits do you need for next step? Is full member 50 or 100? Full member is 100 merit (and 120 activity) But please don't lavish 'em on this account. I mean I'd like a hat and all, but there's no rush.

(My pain and fatigue story)
i had no clue about all this. wishing you the best for your health. Thanks, man ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Appreciating it! It all started after a viral infection which started out with very low fever but kept me busy about four weeks, followed by fatigue and muscle weakness. Doctors said it's a burnout (i was a workaholic, but i didn't really suffer from it), so they reccomended b-vitamins, those made me get better to some degree, but some more health problems came up at the time, because i didn't address them before ( sorry, i had to work ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) ) FMS seems to "make whimps out of men", as some victims are describing it, and i can totally understand that point of view, but i got used to a lot of pain from skateboarding already, and i also wasn't the type that tends to give up on himself. Additionally, i was positive about whatever life was throwing at me, most of the time at least. Taking an extra 250mg of Thiamine (five times the usual dose) resolved all this within a matter of three days.
Five? Are you sure about that? The US RDA for Thiamine is about 1.2mg/day. Right. 50mg was my daily dose (added to 4mg from my daily b-vitamin pills), an absolute minimum to be able to cope with an ordinary day. It's a lot better in summer (an FMS fact, as i also found out lately). Doing more physical work requires higher doses, if you don't want to get the pain and fatigue for days afterwards. It's tricky, because as long as you are active, you don't get really exhausted, but after you stop and start to relax, the hammer comes and hits you. Warning: Nohomo is the least funny joke in the universe. It was that unfunny the first time and to this day. Everyone sprouting it over and over thinking its hilarious. :roll:
I wasn't aware of it as much as a joke, but more like a statement. Just saw this, and your other post (too many beers...). Thanks for sharing, all the very best! We all will have to deal with health issues at some point in our lives, and it is then when we realise how important our health is. Even 1,000,000 BTC is worthless to you if you can't enjoy it. That's why we have to seize the moment and enjoy our lives whenever we can, and not postpone things for "later"...

Enjoy your beers My second thought to leave my story here is that it maybe helps somebody some day, a friend or relative of a WO with similar issues for example.

Damnit! Who at this stupid company (Coinbase) is the one who makes the decisions that determine that EVERYTHING they do is done in a way that puts Bitcoin in a backseat. Was gonna buy something at Protonmail... ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FriHmTpZ.png&t=665&c=4et3MMgPM1z1uw) I mean they do not sell as many shitcoins as Kraken or Gemini or whoever, but at least those companies treat bitcoin like the 900lb gorilla that it is. It's like Armstrong has been trying from the very beginning to sweep bitcoin out of the way for... well... for... What exactly? ETH? Damnit.

Which one is which? I don't even understand it so far. Probably not affecting BTC in any kind of way except for causing a bit of entertainment - including showing that forking was dumb in the first place...

Helpful hat on:Gzuz, what did happen to V8's account? ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif) When in doubt, check trust pages for bidirectional neutral feedback linking the accounts. And if you set up a not-as-secure alt for use on less-trusted devices, then you should do that, too! Cf.:- theymos_away (theymos—not confirmed with bidirectional neutrals on the accounts’ trust pages; naughty Thermos!)
- LoyceMobile (LoyceV)
- Probably bunches of others. Tracking this stuff is not my department.
It is customary that such accounts should not be trusted for trading, or when significant damage could be otherwise caused by an account hack.
Nothing. I'm away from home for a bit.
how many merits do you need for next step? Is full member 50 or 100? Full member is 100 merit (and 120 activity) But please don't lavish 'em on this account. I mean I'd like a hat and all, but there's no rush. Surely, I will try to hold my precious sMerits. But at the rate that you earn merits, I would not be surprised to see this account on some little list someday. ;-)

Matt Corallo ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) turned the fibre network off. WTF!?!? Aside, I wonder if this will affect development of Blockstream Satellite, which relies on bits from that project under the hood. Now we getting more stale blocks, leading to more centralisation of mining. Just at the moment when we are getting what looks like Mike Hearn’s wet dream of a blacklisting/KYC mining pool, too.

Check this out: https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2020-global-economic-forecast-2050/I say that it is bulls--t. The same type of projections were published in the 60ies and 70ies about USSR and the East block. The bottom line is command-and-control economy cannot function for long periods of time. As Xi grows more authoritarian, China economy will slow down, then go into a crisis a la USSR. However, US better get at least another 150-200mil people in (or born) by 2050 to match the EU.

Posting from mobile, sorry if post doesn't look so good. With good friends, having a BBQ, drunk as hell, don't know what I'm typing... Hope auto correct works well...
Fuck COVID-19, fuck everything. Just enjoy life, we only live once, give love and enjoy. Bitcoin will take care of the rest.
Don't know where the price is. Don't care, coz I know it will be higher in the long run.
I love you all, WO has a special place in my heart, I'm pretty sure it's the beer talking, but it's what I really feel, so I love you all brothers and sister.
Take care all...........
AdamStGbit in training ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) You've got a loooong way to go though.

For anyone interested in Roger Ver's "miner tax" hard fork fail today, it's currently not going well: https://cash.coin.dance/blocks/hashrate![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftalkimg.com%2Fimages%2F2023%2F09%2F10%2Fmomr8.png&t=665&c=WMMGROw_YBWF3A) 1.36 EH/s (86%) vs 0.22 EH/s (14%). BCHA is currently trading at 0.05 (5%) of BCH and 39 blocks behind as only mined 3 blocks compared to BCHN's 42. Ouch. I think this will be remember as "The fork that nobody cared about"
