There's also Redirector, a general purpose web extension that lets you redirect any URL with wildcards or regex, and ignore patterns as well. You can use it to do this, or anything else you want. Works on mobile too with Kiwi (a chromi

There won't be as much bitcoin to sell, but the capital outflow remains the same if the security remains the same, and that means the price of each bitcoin would have to be much, much higher, but that requires equal capital inflow. If

You dropped the crux of what i said: "People who do something for fun for free..." It's much harder to paint my position as one of antisocial uncaring evil in light of that.

Since when it is a waste of time to carefully figure out if you should base your important business on someone else's work? You know what's a waste of time? Telling people something you already told them in your license. If we did

I don't think you understand this stuff as well as you think you do. That's not intended as a rib, it's important for us to continue learning. The hash difficulty adjusting automatically keeps the block time relatively cons

Not for me. Maybe I need to dig in, I'm on bullseye, maybe it's only in the older build repositories? Anyway, I found this https://github.com/qwfy/doc-browser that I'm compiling right now to see how it w

Or, abide the license. Asses for yourself if it can be used in production in your business. Be prepared to be wrong about that. If you have a hard time discerning, abide the license, don't use code in production that disclaims liabilit

You're revising history here. There was no war. There was only "I'm not using your code unless I can see what it does and do whatever I want with it." It wasn't a statement of conflict, it was one of choosing ones o

There isn't a fixed pool, but there's a minimum threshold of required new demand that is equal to the energy expenditure of mining. That threshold is proportional to the security of the network.

OK, you mean when the creation of new bitcoin ends. No, that's not what the article is about. The article basically says any cryptocurrency that relies on mining cannot be a store of value because mining requires capital outflow which

Zeal looks cool, I'm going to use it, but it has a lot of problems. - the last release was October 2018. The repo shows activity up to 2 months ago, and I'm sure the last release works fine, but it doesn't seem very active. T

No, but the price of bitcoin is set by supply and demand. And because miners have to liquidate bitcoin to stay afloat, the price will go down without new demand. An asset who's price goes down doesn't store value, an asset which c

The age old debate about what happens when mining ends? When does mining end?

So they speak for everyone only when they agree with you?

I understand how bitcoin works. I'm a big fan of bitcoin actually. But what you've said doesn't refute the article or what I've said. Every time a miner sells their reward, whether it be a coinbase transaction or fees, i

That is not the point of the article. The point is that, as long as miners have to liquidate bitcoin to pay for power, capital will continue to flow out of bitcoin. As a result, either the price will go down or it requires capital inflow,

Itst talking about how capital inflows must continue to match capital outflows that exist in the form of energy expenditure.
108.
by betwixthewires 4y ago
The article is not about energy usage, it's about capital outflow in the form of energy expenditure. As long as mimers must pay someone to keep running, either capital outflow must match capital inflow, or the price will go down, and c

Could you, for the sake of sport, counter the core argument? It's compelling to me and I'd like to hear good counterarguments to it.

The US could if it wanted 51% attack bitcoin with less than 10% of the yearly DoD budget.
111.
by betwixthewires 4y ago
Wow, that's actually a pretty compelling case. A summary for those of you not quite grasping it is, mining means bitcoin has capital outflows, and to maintain a stable price needs equal capital inflows in the form of new demand. It&#x2

Well you should've continued reading. It's not about how much energy is used, it's about the fact that energy is used at all. The numbers can be extrapolated from a third of that value and still look bad.

Read the article. It's talking about something entirely different.

And why should the content be removed?

I think leaving it was the morally right thing to do, and in light of the way the world was before and the way it changed for the better away from colonialism, it was the only right thing to do.

How does that statement address my point at all?

Which "they" asked for it back? Do they speak for everyone in doing so?

by betwixthewires 4y ago
No one is asking for it back because Iran would laugh them out of the room, as anyone should. None of this nonsense should be taken seriously. We are past conquest for the most part, thankfully. But conquest was the way of the world at one
