@Terry This latest meltdown over Elon is highly entertaining.

So, grey shirt is ok?

@EssentialUtinsil @Humpleupagus @Eiregoat @sulaco @Floydian_Psychology @KingOfWhiteAmerica @sun These couple of knuckleheads in this thread are convinced that the giant warehouses of top end ASIC miners sucking down a city's worth of electricity are running the Bitcoin Ledger. The actual transaction updates are basically nothing computing power wise. I'm going to go bold and wild here and make this exact and say that the other 99.9999999999999999999999% of computing power used to run the Bitcoin network is just a footrace to win the prize for doing the ledger work that can literally be done on a Raspberry Pi.

@KingOfWhiteAmerica @Floydian_Psychology @EssentialUtinsil @Humpleupagus @Eiregoat @sulaco @sun I was curious what the absolute oldest PC that could run a full Bitcoin Node was, and it says it would be a 486 from 1992. Beige.

@KingOfWhiteAmerica @Floydian_Psychology @EssentialUtinsil @Humpleupagus @Eiregoat @sulaco @sun If I seem quick to lose my patience when a fresh batch of Bitcoiners insists that Miners are hard at work verifying the ledger and all those warehouses are working out the ledger and verifying transactions when they are just solving a random puzzle, it's because this is a recurring thing. They are convinced that the Miners validate the transactions, when in fact the actual ledger is done at node level and the Miners are handed finished blocks of transactions by the Nodes (All miners are also Nodes, but not all Nodes are also Miners) and told to give the answer to a very hard math problem and then they race to be the first one done. Nodes make sure the miners are not cheating by modifying the block (phony transaction) they were given. For some reason there are some people who will simply not accept this fact, even when how it actually works and presented with incontrovertible proof they will simply not accept it. I don't know why. Gratuitous old school Bitcoin mining lass running a node on her retro cased P4 hotrod PC because why not. We have a 50's tech Antminer sitting on top of the case there, too.

Aye. A man could be forgiven for not noticing that this lass had her hand mangled in a horrible tractor feed printer accident.

>It's about doing it faster than anyone else. Adding transaction to the ledger is the random mathematical puzzle. They're not separate.
This right here tells me that you do not understand how Bitcoin works. You are conflating the actual ledger(record of all transaction) and the random mathematical puzzle that miners solve to get the prize for maintaining the ledger by adding the latest batch of transactions to it. They are NOT the same thing.

@Eiregoat @Humpleupagus @sulaco @Floydian_Psychology @KingOfWhiteAmerica @sun It's grok, and it says that the Bitcoin ledger and tasks the miners perform are NOT the same thing, which you claim to be the case. All you are proving thus far is that you do not know how Bitcoin works and that your reading comprehension level is sub nigger tier.

@Eiregoat @Humpleupagus @sulaco @Floydian_Psychology @KingOfWhiteAmerica @sun >The process of adding to the ledger is an inherent part of the mathematical puzzle.
NO. It isn't. It literally says that it is not in the grok answer. Since it appears that you have a severe reading/comprehension issue. I highlighted the important part where it says you are completely WRONG about the ledger being part of the puzzle that miners spend gorillions of gigawatts solving.

@Humpleupagus @Eiregoat @sulaco @Floydian_Psychology @KingOfWhiteAmerica @sun >bankers invented bitcoin
If the Powers That Be did not invent Bitcoin, they are laughing until they piss their pants that someone did it for them. Since their dream is a Digital Currency where every penny is tracked, it means that some other payment method of maintaining the Status Quo of Crime and Corruption to continue. That's what Bitcoin (Crypto et al) is.
The description I read above of how Bitcoin transactions are settled is not accurate, by the way. The actual ledger that comprises Bitcoin could be run on a Raspberry Pi, no problem. The obscene computing power of miners is simply applied to solving a random mathematical puzzle to determine who will get the award for doing the trivial task of adding transactions to the ledger.

Well. That didn't take take long to verify that Iran will be the target when the Houthis finally manage to poke a hole in a US Navy ship.

@Bad_Banner @BowsacNoodle Trump's entertainment factor alone makes him acceptable. The scorecard for domestic stuff so far is tons of promises about Deportations and Files, but no files and it seems the Deportations have already reduced to a trickle. H1B going full steam ahead to rob tech jobs from White people. Border is tightened up, but still have millions rooted in. So far we are getting same Taxes + Tariffs, too. I haven't noticed a particular spike in anything due to tariffs other than random spikes in coffee and such, but I suspect we will see steel and wood products get jacked up because it's a plausible excuse to do so. Still waiting for w/e tax overhaul he is going to toss us.

Guy says Chemtrails are gone since USAID has been cut back. Anyone confirm? Have not been paying attention to the spraying the last week or so.
