Good morning Bitcoinland.

Bouncing along in the mid-$4xxxx range... currently $43463USD/$54157CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Ho hum.

If you're not political you should ignore the noise, uninstall Chrome/Edge/etc and support Firefox. Seriously, most of the other browsers are a steaming pile of garbage developed by the largest spyware company in the world.

If it's not open source, I'm not interested.

I assume the code is scrutinized regularly to make sure they're not committing the kind of atrocities that the Evil Empire (Google, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, etc.) are guilty of.

Frankly, IDGAF about some silly politics. Politics is for losers.

Bad looking candle ahead.
Is it just the weekend?
I remember reading about an uncommonly large batch of options expiring tomorrow.
(Uncommonly large for a generic Friday, not the month's last one).
I vaguely recall reading about max pain being at 44k.
Can anyone confirm?

FWIW a firefox FORK like waterfox might be my answer.  I would love to trim the bloat anyway.

As to all these solo blocks appearing.  Umm.  We are sure of these miner's hashrate? Truly in the single Whatsminer sort of range?

I keep waiting for some giant chip fab entity (ie Samsung, Motorolla, Intel, AMD, Nvidea etc) developing a SHA256 ASIC on the down-low and starting to test them... I do not know enough about this tech/market to know if this is a possibility, but my gut thinks so.  But I do not think it is impossible that some chip maker could get a quick ROI testing (Butterfly Labs style) a brand new ASIC.  The financial incentive for this is crazy high.

The fucking political garbage being fronted by Firefox and Wikimedia will hold us back.

See how these two threads tie together?

Tonga to copy El Salvador’s bill making Bitcoin legal tender, says former MP.

In a ruling that is “almost identical to the El Salvador bill,” Tongan bigwig Lord Fusitu’a anticipates that his country could adopt Bitcoin by November.

This is a very unlikely event:

Probably some guy with a block erupter plugged into his PC and forgotten. Man he's probably trying to find his wallet right now....

The more solo mining, the better it is for the network.
Correct me If i am wrong?

How do you know it is solo mining?

If you look at the posts above it you can see its about this twitter post:


Where it says these solo miners are lucky, but if you want to know how to see if they are solo mining or not?

You can find that all in the blockchain, lets say the the bitcoin address that receives those bitcoins is a wallet operated by one person.
Or that the wallet is paying out to a lot of users that are mining in a pool, most big pool wallets are known addresses I assume as well.

Fun fact…
I used to solo mine a shitcoin that could only be solo mined, no pools.
I did okay. Usually found about 5 blocks a day on average (about 2$ worth)with a 750ti.
Traded em all for bitcoin at end of every month. Fun stuff and kept me amused…

couldn't help myself!

Hey! Batslappening is Jay’s job!

my cost to get the 296 = 50% or I net 148 a day  very sure very steady subject to price of btc and the difficulty.

How are you coming up with a specific daily dollar amount number if it changes every day based on BTC price and difficulty?  Are you averaging it out over a period of time, or are you picking a mode amount from your recent daily payments?  I know getting into more of your business than you have already disclosed.

Can you choose whether to get paid in BTC or dollars or in some other way?  

Tonga plans to move from USD-pegged beans to BTC too:

That's still quite a long time to take until November before it would actually go live.

Actually the reason for that Batslap (I am guessing) is the reason I have been reluctant to.  But then, there is a fork of that too, yes?
