you're full of shit companion.

So utxo bloat isn’t a big deal? My understanding was that the Utxo set that gets freed from ram is cached by OS and loads essentially instantly when enough unused ram is available for cache, but if you run out of ram and have to free cache that loading from disk takes much longer…I could be wrong.

When I run top on my node, available ram drops over time until there’s less than 1 GB of 15 GB free…but the OS could be caching other stuff too.

Where/what is this?

Why are people taking pictures of the Eiffel Tower or the Great Pyramids if you can just right-click save one that's a million times better?

I see what you are getting at with dbcache…but I don’t think that limits size of utxo set in ram (or system cache thereof)…

Anyhow, constantly swapping from ram to disk in random fashion is really slow; as many entries in the utxo set will never be used again, these can be offloaded from ram and decrease swapping.

We know the order utxo will be used during IBD, so it is possible to store these sequentially on disk and convert random swaps in to sequential ones.

Try syncing a 1 or 2 GB rpi from Genesis. Or even just reverifying the chain with that little ram and the problem becomes evident…I’m not sure such little ram even works for ibd anymore.

Like last epoch?

I see a new ATH at least every 6 months.

If we get a period of 12 months without an ATH, the SuPerCycLe has been postponed.

The prolonged & brutal bear market isn't starting in 2026.

2025 was a year of consolidation & accumulation.

Welcome to the SuPerCycLe.

Be humble or be humbled.

I am persistently being shown to be patient.

To fix the bitcoin utxo set, we need tiered storage. ProVably unspendable outputs are pruned, which makes sense, but proBably unspendable outputs stay stored in RAM.

This is dumb. We should write these to disk and only pull from disk when part of a block or upon spending tx notification. Yes, it takes longer to eval block/tx, but by definition this should a rare event.

What is wrong with my thinking?

Giving birth naturally without any medications or complications is a way more of a feat of athleticism and health than a marathon or being able to deadlift 4 plates.

Requires the woman to have a long history of eating right, mind muscle connection, mental ease/clarity under extreme stress, mobility, and muscle and cardio endurance, ALL at a random time, day or night.

Need to praise women more that accomplish this achievement one and multiple times over.

Doesn't the difficulty adjustment use the timestamps of blocks (external continuous time source)?

How many Germans does it take to change a lightbulb?

Stop pretending those who print money aren’t here to enslave you, your children, and unborn grandchildren.

Your values, your culture, everything you hold dear will be ash unless you actualize your entire being, draw the line, and say no.

The proof of weapons network has him now. He can check out any time he likes, but he can never leave.

There are only two types of people in this world. Those who load the dishwasher with absolute geometric precision and people who are wrong.

When you realize we’ve been in a bear market since Dec 2024

Diminishing returns?

Flat part of the S curve?

What you think?

No. It's not like that. Spanish Jesús and English Jesus both derive from Greek Iesous.

His name was Yeshua (Aramaic form of Hebrew Yehoshua). Joshua comes directly from Hebrew Yehoshua.

They are not even remotely the same name. Jesus is the result of Greek and Latin transliteration. It is a transliteration of a transliteration—not his name at all.

Once you stop being absorbed in your thoughts, you can observe them from a distance.

You become the awareness of thoughts rather than being lost in them. Its like stepping back and watching clouds pass instead of being carried away by each one

Never done it but when I'm sick, I naturally lose my appetite.

I usually eat within a 6-8 hr window, so it's usually easy to just extend it however long it takes to overcome.

I'd imagine this would be quite a stress (not necessarily negatively) to your body. I'll give it a watch 👍🙏

Not just what you eat, what you drink, breath & absorb through your skin.

Your body constantly eliminates waste & toxins that it absorbs. It can only process so much as organs typically perform multiple functions. Toxins that it can't process & excrete are largely stored in fat cells until you have the capacity to eliminate them.

I believe that often when we get 'sick' our bodies are simply overloaded with toxins. That is when we should be fasting & providing ways to help detox ourselves (eg activated carbon, bentonite clay, CDS).

We should avoid adding to our toxic load during such times (most pharmaceuticals are toxic).

Had some old non kyc bitcoin that I sent to cold storage. Later, I sent some btc purchased through kyc means to the same cold storage (although I made a new address within the cold storage) .

Is the non kyc bitcoin now tied to my identity?

Whoa. You do that so you can keep your iPhone? Wouldn't it be simpler and a faster connection to use graphene?

My 2 bitaxes bring in about 100 sats per day. At a cost of about double what the market rate of sats is. At this rate, it’ll be a long time before I get in to positive territory, and will never do better than just having bought the sats directly, but it’s fun.

What kind of doasage are they talking about? Like do you gotta eat an 1/8th or will a cap and stem do?

First you and I are ultimately in agreement here but I think a less confusing metaphor would be

It’s like going to a restaurant that can make anything as long as it follows food safety laws (consensus)

If you’re a miner, you literally have access to the kitchen and say over what gets made altogether- because you purchased the ingredients and run the show

Standardness on nodes is like the restaurant saying “we have a menu because it makes our kitchen run smoothly” (but technically if you are the kitchen staff you’re not limited) as a customer you are limited but you could also put in a special order it just might get messed up or slow or expensive or something (out of band tx)

And if you’re running knots you’re saying “I’m gluten free- gluten anywhere near me will make me die please only serve me very gluten free food” but you’re in a restaraunt full of things made from flour so while they might say “this is gluten free” it’s probably not

Have you read Peter Todd's approach to tail emissions?

It's not cutting a thing in half. Thats basically what we have now converging on 2.1 quadrillion.

Peter Todd has been advocating for years for a transition to a fixed block reward. The goal being to ensure miners continue to have incentive to mine blocks, and that this would in theory pseudo replace lost coins over time under the guise that coins go up is better than coins goto 0.
