Incorrect, sorry. You got some it right but not Gran Canaria. |

It seems to me that the threat of the BIP 110 signaling (from last Saturday) at the change of the difficulty was the most uncertain in terms of what was going to happen, and if it is boiling down to simple hardfork nonsense, we have been there and done that, and they are likely losing support for any of that causing any level uncertainty because it becomes easier and easier to completely ignore whatever they are doing, even though surely some of their supporters have already lost time, money and energy supporting their various shenanigans.
In other words, I could have had seen the uncertainty of the BIP 110 signaling going into last Saturday to have had been potentially contributing to market uncertainties, and now there is no real meaningful uncertainties related to the BIP 110 supporters and/or whatever they might choose to do with their lil wannabe fork chain.
Even then, not so much. The blocksize fork had numerous serious supporters on both sides with serious hardcore debate and discussion going on. There were long-term Bitcoin heavyweights on both sides, proposals, clients, mass censorship, forum coups, miner support. I don't agree with your characterization. Sure. There were BIG hitters on both sides, yet many of the 110 supporters were into calling into question their perceptions of the tyrannical behaviors of Core developers and desires to teach a lesson in regards to the power of the people... Yet those 110 supporters were likely ONLY willing to go so far, including that the evidence of actual computing power behind 110 seems to have had been nearly completely absent, to the extent that even 1% to 3% might be willing to continue to hang on, I really doubt that too many of them really want to create a shitcoin when it appears that they do not have even close to as much actual physical and material power of the people support as they were believing might be hidden behind the scenes. Rather than BCash, BitcoinJr is more like BitcoinXT with a novel PoW twist, and potentially much messier as there isn't a fork asset to sell. BCH was begging to be dumped and attacked immediately by keeping 256d and announcing fork chain air drop plans. How will it play out? Seems unlikely the BIP-110 fork finds more than 5 blocks by 9/02. Mostly empty blocks will probably flood in upon algo switch and height will quickly catch up to or surpass the chain like in the case of BCash. And then come the 51% attacks, etc. Obviously any blake2b blocks will be rejected by peers. But you could have lingering semi-interoperable zombie clients peering for years (like XT nodes), but also able to transfer value in parallel via the alternative chain. If you're Knots, you'd be working to prevent blacklisting. |

To draw an analogy with something current, I think that with the price of Bitcoin we are like Odysseus's crew, going round and round the seas without being able to get out of the 60k funnel, maybe a few more weak hands still need to die before the gods of BTC and the market let us return to Ithaca (100k+). Maybe our BTC is talking so much with Calypso and the BIP110 with the lotus flower (COLDCard) is not letting us goes free.  
But i said to the crew be aware...... is coming another contest from me about price prediction, long time without one.... Still wondering why the price of BTC is trapped in a certain range? I already wrote to you that this is not the first time that people have asked themselves the same question, because such periods have occurred in the past and of course they always occur during bear market periods. In my opinion, one of the most logical explanations is that most people invest only when they assume that they will make a profit (preferably in the short term), and so far this has always been the time before the halving. I'm not saying the price won't rise before around the end of 2027 or beginning of 2028, but I don't see anything that would trigger a major bull run. Besides, Mr. I'll Never Sell My BTC sells coins every now and then, and that's why there are over 800 thousand reasons why we wonder every day if there's a chance that instead of a few thousand, they'll start selling tens of thousands of coins? Add to that all those paper coins that circulate through and from various funds/companies that squeeze BTC in all possible ways and ask yourself if the current price is bad or good? Personally, for me, holding above $60k is a positive thing, but as always if there is no breakout to the upside it wouldn't be surprising if we dive towards a new low. |

I think t was too busy making sure it blocked buddy, you know, priorities.
I've been in vLLM hell since yesterday trying to get updated and abliterated versions of DS4F 0731 running across 4 Sparks. (Done) This morning, my 5090 server decided to take a shit on me, so, haven't had a chance to put my hand up BobC's ass very much lately. Wrestling with infra silliness. Also, running DS4F 0731 Abliterated feels like a weapons-grade LLM. Kinda scary. |
