lol, that’ll solve all my problems.

lol, this really hits home.

My calculator icon on my Linux box has the number 80085 (aka BOOBS) on it.

I’ve been working so hard for so long I forgot to think about what I’d do if I had “enough” money.

Suppose you were magically given “enough.” What would you do?

I just keep going to work because people need me. But this need will _never_ end.

I think I need a protégé to teach to fill my shoes.

I agree with this holiday. 👍🏻

Public service announcement: don’t forget, there’s still 138,000 mt Gox coins to distribute. And another 212,000 coins held by US federal government to sell. That’s a quarter million coins which is like a years worth of mined coins post halving.

I’m not selling for at least a year after these pools distribute to owners/new buyers.

Nice!

It’s hard to find fast media. Thunderbolt 4 seems impossible to saturate with pcie4 nvme’s. Not to mention internal nvmes. Best I can get is 18GB/s read and 13GB/s write, and that’s with goofy tricks like way more than 1 user…

I’m hopeful pcie5 drives work better for nerdy things like making a few copies of the bitcoin blockchain and IBD/verificiatipn.

Nice. I had a drobo some years back and it does this virtual volume thing that I set to 32TB as that was the biggest it could go. It had 4 500gb spinning disks …and I never grew the volume beyond 4 TB…because it was slow AF…

Bitcoin sale again!

Whoa…is that usable capacity or just some theoretical max of a virtual volume?!?

If the claim is true, it would be helpful to include Saylor’s rationale. Maybe he’s got a good point…maybe a point like funding should be through things like opensats and not through corporations.

The icon for the calculator app on my Linux desktop dock looks like a calculator (shocking) and guess what number is displayed on the result line?

It’s the sum of 80000, 80, and 5, which is clearly top of mind for a large fraction of society at most times. And it’s hilarious.

How did I not see this until now?

Meh. The more devs they buy, the less those devs can contribute.

That said, no strings attached money is a common model for funding open source devs.

Buying a dev and supporting a dev are not equivalent. But telling the difference takes a long time.

It’s a number. It uniquely identifies the “wallet” ie, the ordered set of addresses and private keys that the seed will generate along the “path.”

You could consider backing up the path in addition to the seed, but there are few paths that software uses, so it’s generally not too hard to get access to the wallet with only the seed.

But if you choose your own key “path,” you could really screw things up if you don’t back it up.

as bitcoin matures, there is more and more I don’t know the details about…like backup of lightning channels. And hardware wallet secure elements…

The truth is: nobody knows what bitcoin is. We only know how we have used it.

This is sad. Many have held such a multi coin view.

Do yourself a favor and google strong coin. It’s the original shitcoin from 2010 or 2011. Google feathercoin, frei coin, name coin, prime coin…

The reality is a hard pill to swallow: money is a winner take all game and blockchains are only good for money. All the other shitcoins are genuinely retarded and the smartest guys in the room know this and are trusting you’re an idiot so they can steal from you. And idiots are a dime a dozen.
