Thanks for the info AM, realizing I was expecting way too much for the coin; All the prices do seem to be around $500-$750 that I can find. I just have a bad habit of only looking at the BTC value and ignoring whatever $.

A BTC is always a BTC except when people actually want to spend them, then it always seems to be USD.  Funny how that works.  Cheesy

Really??  Are you going to go there??  I hate this crap.  Yes it's the USD because currently Bitcoin is pegged to the dollar, like it or not.  By your logic a couple pizzas should still be 10kBTC.   Roll Eyes

My logic?  I was being sarcastic.  Cheesy  I appreciate you proving my point though.  Obviously exchange rates exist for a reason and nobody with any financial sense thinks BTC is a stable value currency that is useful for valuing things over time.  Thank you.

nullius proceeded in a legit manner for defending his reputation
Yeah... no. If he actually wanted to change one word - this is one of the worst ways to proceed. If he wanted to smear ibminer - it's not a bad effort, C-.
Working under the assumption that he is able to PM him, right? This is odd for you to argue. Were I to find such an erroneous statement by you about myself I would not be able to proceed the way you are asking him to proceed (precisely because I am unable to PM you). Huh

The thread is too much (this is his style of writing though), but most responses are absurd. Many years back if you had made such a false statement (underage pornography) about somebody else, especially as a DT member you would not: 1) Be a DT member much longer. 2) Your reputation would be gone very soon had it not been retracted very shortly after being pointed out.[1] We find ourselves in a very weird environment now where wrongdoing is neglected because the way it is being called out is not politically correct?  I do not know if that statement was intentional or not, but this and the current state of things are just wrong. Undecided  


[1] I do not wish either faith to ibminer, I just hope he removes the statement and this thread is shut down. These two were used as an example how this became worse here ("bad things are okay unless called out in a politically correct manner AKA the way I like it"). I do not think OP wants to tag ibminer either.

Lauda being the voice of reason these days is surprising, but a nice twist.

The fact you loved my coins and then one day started bashing them because the exchange rate went up leaving you with regrets shows that you take no personal responsibility for your actions, which is clear even now seeing you try to blame me for bullying you when in fact you spread lies and harassed me for years. If you stayed off my threads and stopped spreading lies about me we would have no interaction. As stated, you are irrelevant other than trolling me.

Dozens are saying he can't be trusted.

7 years ago he proudly announced he paid back 1% of a total loss of 6,500 btc.   Now he's posting like it never happened, and even denying he ran that pirate passthrough ponzi. 

Now you may say ok he lost more than anyone ever has, but that was many years ago.


Then he held 500 btc of forum funds, got paid 6btc a year to safeguard them, instead he treated them as if they were his own and stole value from them.

Fast forward to last month - a users pulls out after he finds out OG is the escrow.  OG loses pennies (due to his own reputation) but still flags and leaves negative trust.

So NO - OgNasty cannot be trusted with large or small amounts.  Anyone who says otherwise, or says I lie about it, has a political agenda.

You can say whatever you want about me, I've never profited dishonestly off the forum, especially to the massive tune that Og has... or as he calls it, "building off bitcoin."  Roll Eyes

More lies.  It was my fiduciary duty to make sure that alts were claimed.  I did so.  I then only took what theymos said I could have.  It is not my fault if he failed to keep track of what alts there were and didn't bother to ask me for a summary before gifting all the remaining alts to me.  I actually think his response on the matter without even discussing it with me was immature and think he should have appreciated my efforts and taken some personal responsibility on the matter.  You saying it was untrustworthy of me or dishonest in any way after theymos himself stated it wasn't is something only a moron or a boy with an agenda could do.

OgNasty    2019-05-25        Held 500 BTC for the forum from 2013 to 2019.


Allow me. I was paid by theymos to hold 500 BTC. I returned it when asked along with all the alts theymos asked me to return. He gifted the remainder to me and left me positive feedback. Grin

For those who did not see: Largest win in Sweet Bonanza History from a bonus buy on Stake. And the withdrawal was processed instantly

Are you kidding me, Stunna?
I can't believe my eyes when I really watched that guy making huge money out of a high bet placed. Many congratulations to that user who managed to grab such a big win through a buy feature and even withdrew everything instantly. I have now become a big fan of slots.  Shocked
Holy sh*t!

From having that $500 per bet to win up that $2.5M then that was indeed a history. Those multipliers do give me some chills! Congratulations into that player.

This is just one of the chances that slot games could give if you are really that extremely lucky.

Wow indeed.  That's a life changing amount of money to win from a single bet.  Almost hard to believe.  Congrats to someone indeed.  I couldn't imaging having your life change so quickly.  Although if you're betting $500 on stuff like that you're probably not hurting for cash to begin with.  Definitely too rich for my blood.

The Houston Rockets just beat the Brooklyn Nets today 104-114, that team is the number 1 seed in the eastern conference. Man! this team is starting to get on their rhythms, you won't see such things happening in an NBA season more often and they are now on their 7th straight win. They were the last team last month and they were struggling too much to get a single win after losing almost every game and now they are rallying to get to the top 10 just a few more wins to go.



I was also amazed by their performance.

last time they've been questioning if they can continue the rally since the last 6 straight wins are not
a super-team types of opponents, but boy' they now beat the top seeder from the east side,

Though that's a KD less squad, but Harden was there and the supporting players are capable of competing. It's interesting no betting with Houston, handicap for them would be nice next target.

The rockets are supposed to be tanking this year. I’m not sure what’s going on. This is a situation where better might really be worse. Come draft time, they may wish this winning streak never happened. I am shocked they’re managing to put up wins with an all but forgotten roster.

If he is already in 2010, I thought maybe ask them to buy some cheap Bitcoin for me? I would be forever grateful if he would do it for me.

If I had a dollar for every time someone said xxx amount of Bitcoin is not worth my time over the history of Bitcoin I would be a billionaire by now.

FYI you should be mining 1500-2k satoshis a day per unit. Keep in mind it takes at least 24 hours for your pool hashrate to stabilize and be able to show you how much BTC your earning accurately. And yes those 1-2k satoshis will have been more than worth your time in hindsight.

Stack those sats.

If they were mining as expected then I would have no reason to be disappointed.  They just aren't.  I can accept that maybe the issue is that these don't play well with Nicehash, although someone stated they did.  I am not having that experience.  Until I take the time to set them up on a different pool I guess I really shouldn't comment any further.  I will say that I've been in the community for several years longer than you, and have mined with just about every miner that has existed since the FPGA days (I was one of the first customers to ever mine with an ASIC), but I do appreciate your urge that I stack sats...  I also do respect what you've built.  I couldn't have done it.  I just wish I was getting more than 50% of the expected hashrate. 

I know, and its quite an honor you purchased some of our units! I still remember some 400 dollars worth of PSUs you had helped escrow for 2BTC back in the day haha...those turned out to be some expensive PSUs  Cheesy

C'mon now, no gaslighting...  I was just saying I have experience with miners and should be competent enough to run them.  I feel your pain though.  I once spent 90 BTC on a bag of honey roasted almonds. 

As a promised update on my personal experience with these miners...  I did move them from nicehash where they were only getting 900 sats a day to slush where they now appear to be showing the full 6th/s hashrate (I'm running them in turbo mode) and are getting approximately 1450 sats each.  This is with over 100% luck on slush so while they are still a little below expectations, they are now mining at a profit of around $0.05/day each which I think is actually acceptable for home miners given the exchange rate situation currently. 

So by switching from nicehash to slush, I went from unhappy with my purchase to satisfied, but I would be downright happy if I managed to get them up to 2k sats each.  I'll give them some more time and try playing with them a bit more during my free time to see what I can accomplish.  Any tips are always welcome.  My temps are showing as 0 / 33 / 67.  I assume that's in line with expectations?

As of this writing there is no play-to-earn games exist in the market. You must be saying Axie Infinity is one play to earn game and there are many more, but i will tell you that they are not play-to-earn games, they are infact play-to-earn jobs.  Roll Eyes

Taking the example of Axie Infinity, you get game token SLPs when you do certain tasks in adventure mode and also complete daily tasks. This is like a job that you do daily and the maximum earning limited on daily is also fixed. You are allowed to take 20 turns and after that even if you play more, there is no reward. You are in fact doing job to collect the tokens.

Real games are like you play unlimited times daily and there should be no limit on the earnings or turns. The more you play and win, the more you should get the tokens. This realistic model of earning is missing in all the famous P2E games like Axie infinity or star sharks etc.

The video game grind is real.  I'm not sure how many games you've played lately, but the model for video games has been for a while that you grind doing tasks you otherwise wouldn't do for rewards that you probably don't care about.  At least with games like Axie Infinity you're grinding something you can sell.  It's just that we are very very early in this play to earn for crypto game.  It will probably be another 10 years before you're able to play Call of Duty and sell gun skins as NFTs.  Even then, I'm sure the tasks you'll have to do will feel like work instead of fun if you're doing it just for the money. 

The Sandbox is pretty cool and has lots of ways to earn money.  Maybe give that a look?

There was so much rumors and discussions going on when Drake posted his bets on his social media account for the first time.

But now Stake has officially announced that Drake is going to be an ambassador of Stake! Some huge giveaways are also waiting for the users Wink. Instagram posts of Drake. Announcement on Stake telegram channel:



I still can’t believe this is true. Someone like Drake is about as big of a partner as a platform could have. I’m guessing the Super Bowl promotion went well so they decided to expand their partnership. How long before Drake has half of North America rapping lyrics about gambling on Stake? I wonder if Drake might even be taking on an ownership stake in the company. One thing is for certain, moves like this show the platform is growing and doing very well financially.

Thanks for the kind words.  I've heard of many of my coins being sold on eBay lately and that's totally fine.  If people want to purchase from the NastyShop using BTC to sell on eBay for a profit in USD, I have no problem with that.  I like seeing my coins in different retailers.  I was wondering why suddenly I've sold 18 of these silver wallets in the last few days.  I guess the word is out.  Smiley

It does sound from the price and description that you're talking about sales of the Minted Seats though and that thread is here (I only had 3 of those sales this week, but of the original 500 produced only a double digit amount remain): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=352515.0

As secondary market sales are already heating up for these coins, I can't wait to see what happens once they all finally sell out.

Bitcoin's price can do anything.  That includes a crash to $13K after the fed rate hike, or a crash to $0 tomorrow morning for some random black swan event.  It could also go to $500,000 in the next hour.  The trick is to be prepared for any of these events and be able to handle if things go the complete opposite way of your expectations.  As long as you aren't playing with leverage and you're a long term thinker, it shouldn't matter if you buy BTC here and it does go to $13K.  Just because someone offers you a price for something you have, doesn't mean you have to take it.  Wait for better offers to come along and enjoy holding the asset you wanted.  Smiley

but the user guide still says "Modify".
Perhaps it's because it still means the same thing?

Here are synonyms of the verb Edit



It doesn't mean the same thing though when you're referring to a specific object.  The button you press is called the "edit" button.  Referring to it as the "modify" button is wrong, as there is no modify button.  Sure, pressing the edit button might mean you are modifying the post, but you are still pressing the edit button.  You can't just use synonyms when describing a process or object.  Especially in a guide that might be read by non-native English speakers.  That's a pretty slippery slope to start treading down. 

For example, "cut dead" is a synonym for "ignore" but I don't think the user guide should say to press the cut dead link to hide a user's posts. 

Anyway, I'm surprised anyone reads that and it certainly doesn't matter much, but to be clear, there is no "modify" button.

Hello nastyfans!

Today distribution 500 posted. Amazing.
Do they give out free btc?

You can see a list of distributions sent out to seat owners here: https://nastyfans.org/distribution.summary.csv

Distributions come from mined coins and donations.  I don't consider that free BTC.  NastyFans just distributes that mined and donated BTC to the seats.  It's a pretty simple and straightforward concept. 


Quote from: owlcatz on Today at 01:57:36 AM
No. Never. This is literally the longest running ponzi left in the btc space.  Roll Eyes

You are literally an idiot.  All distributed coins come from mined coins or donations.  Anyone who purchases a seat is purchasing that seat from another member.  No funds from seat transfers are paid out as distributions so it is very clearly not a Ponzi scheme and that is a provable fact easily verifiable on the blockchain.  It's really simple to understand, so at this point you have to assume that owlcatz is financially illiterate or dishonest.

Wishful thinking bro.

3.5x in 10 years ??   damn... you have a depressive view.


but in your defense, I'm also skeptical if "people" will get the importance of BTC within the next 10 years



I think to the big money people keeping BTC around just so they can pump it and then dump it is why they like it and allow it to be around.

I think volatility to them is more about stacking right now. I believe the big Wall Street investment houses want Bitcoin to succeed because it’s more management fees for their companies. Considering how things are valued in multiples, that free income for holding BTC for their clients adding to their bottom line will be sweet for their valuations, and this has already started happening, so they’re salivating at the possibilities. Anyone who can hang onto some BTC once their accumulation and offerings are complete will most certainly be rewarded.

Edit:
Not difficult to forse this:


Is this why the market suddenly did another leg down?  If CZ abandons FTX at this point, it seems like we may have yet another bankruptcy and lost customer funds on our hands.  Definitely not good for anyone.  I guess the good news is that we're getting close to scraping the bottom predicted range of this bear market.  Now I think investors are looking at a potential loss of 30% if investing here, but also a possible x25 if the next bull run is successful.  Those seem like pretty good odds to me, but things can and likely will get worse before they get better.  All we can really do is watch and see what the big boys do now.  These bankruptcies are a good thing long term though.  FTX came out of nowhere and tried to rule the market.  This needed to happen.

I don’t think we’ll see new lows this cycle. There’s too much momentum now. It’s pretty clear the bottom is in and the money has piled in for the next ride up. I still think people would be wise to dollar cost average their way through the next two years and cash out what they need in 2025. While the halvings will effect the market less and less going forward, I still think they dominate the price cycle.

The author of Rich Dad Poor Dad (one of the first books on investing I ever read) has been pretty vocal lately about precious metals and Bitcoin as a safeguard against a coming recession.  He's said that silver is one of the most underrated investments of our generation and expects it to jump to $500 per ounce in our lifetime.  If that's true, then now might be a great time to make sure you've got some real physical silver in your portfolio and not ETFs.  Holding Bitcoin is a great idea, but being diversified isn't so bad either.  Smiley

Bitcoin bouncing between $30K-$31K after the run it just had has me feeling like the rally isn’t over. Under normal circumstances I would have expected a large correction to wipe out leverage by now.

This is great. While there wasn’t really anything they could do about it anyway, it’s still nice to see freedoms being added to “the books” instead of being stripped away for a change. I don’t think this will have any real effect on Bitcoin or it’s price, but it’s always nice to get a positive piece of information in the news.

It looks like this is the range extender that takes the Cybertruck to 470+ miles of range on a charge. Leaks on the website also suggest it will have a $16,000 price tag. I’m not sure if it would be worth it, but I’m sure in certain situations it would be nice to have. I think it would have been cooler in the bed storage space, but maybe there will be aftermarket options.

This is indeed a big deal but it’ll be another year before it goes into effect so the timing of it being announced right before the ETF approval doesn’t mean much. What it does mean is that a perfect storm is once again brewing for the 4 year ATH to get set in mid/late 2025. Exciting for people who are already happy with the $40K price.

I can say that it does look even more awesome in person. The biggest shock for me was how big the wheels are. They are MASSIVE in person. I was also surprised that all the buttons are real buttons that click in. I thought the doors and frunk would be awkward to open but they weren’t at all. The owner said range is a bit lower than expected but visibility and comfortability is amazing. It was the 2 motor version but he said it’s still extremely quick. I learned a lot and there were so many smart things that aren’t advertised with this vehicle. I’m even more excited now.

I can understand this from a trader’s perspective. It seems pretty obvious that an Ethereum ETF is going to happen down the line. I could see why traders would want to be there for the runup to that. You can almost tell how motivated by money someone is to be in crypto by whether their main holding is BTC, ETH, or SOL.

I'll do 100 push-ups tomorrow as penance.
Do 100 sips of coffee. It's healthier.  Cool

I think that there are a lot of studies that the loss of muscle mass is a pretty decent risk for any of us as we age, and there are some theories that we are starting to die after we reach 30.. and of course, if any of us likely realize that  there seem to be deteriorating effects with the passage of time, even though some people do seem to have better genetics than others, I have my doubts that we can completely ignore lifestyle choices.. even though I do consider that diet and sleep might be more important than exercise.

In regards to exercise, and the need to build and/or preserve muscle mass, there must be some attention towards the benefits of resistance training, even though some older folks (and younger folks are guilty of this too) get so much caught up into cardio, so if they do some kind of exercise that requires a lot of cardio, then they might be too tired to even attempt to carry out any resistance training.   Also, some folks who walk a lot become very good walkers, but they still might not be retaining muscle mass as much as they should do, especially when they start getting into their older years.. .. so it becomes more and more difficult to both retain muscle mass and even to build it.  .. so it could be better to at least engage in enough resistance training type exercises to at least attempt some level of maintenance. 

I know easier said than done.. and I think exercise hurts more than it did when I was younger.. and I don't get as many of those endorphin-like feelings. .which may relate to stamina too.. so if you can maintain exercise for a certain period the endorphins can kick in.. and people might get that on a treadmill. .yet harder to build up to it with resistance training since it tends to hurt.

My push-ups are going better than I thought, and I am going to have to keep track in order to try to figure out if I am making progress, and my first set of pushups went way better than I thought that they would because I think that I recall trying to do pushups several months ago, and it did not go very well.. so this time around I was focused on at least trying to see how many I could do in a kind of dry run.. and it did hurt my chest a bit.. so that might mean to try to pace myself a bit in order to build up to it.. but at least I did them flat, and they were pretty full pushups and I did not have to resort to girl-pushups.. meaning doing them from the knees... after a week, I will probably have a bit of a better grasp of where I am at. .and maybe even better after two weeks.. but I am not sure if I can keep it up until $100k .. so we will have to see how that goes... but I am likely not going to end up doing 100 every day.. and so far  with 1.5 days I have only done 50 each day.. and I may or may not be able to get up to 100 today.. I don't necessarily want to push my quantity to such an extent that I end up injuring myself or that I overdo the matter in some kind of a way... "We" should be trying to pace ourselves in these kinds of situations.

I read a study that showed you begin losing muscle mass at 40.  As I approached 40 a few years ago I made it a point to not let this happen and started doing pull-ups daily along with curls, bench press, sit-ups, climbing stairs, and taking long walks.  So I've been at it for a couple years already, but when I saw the opportunity to get involved in this 100 push-ups per day thing, I decided why not add this into my routine and really push it.  Given that I've been on a muscle building journey for several years, this was probably an easier move to make for me than others, but everyone needs to start somewhere.  That's why I recommended people do the amount of push-ups that the BTC price is.  43 a day should be doable for most people and they can work their way to 100 with the Bitcoin price.  I'm surprised how much of an effect 100 push-ups a day has already had on me already.  I've done 440 push-ups now counting this morning and that will be 500 by the end of the day.  I'm also still maintaining my other workouts, and have added squats to my routine.  I am going to start adding my bench press sets to my push-ups in an attempt to be able to maintain this longer term, but urge everyone to do something.  Lets all get ripped and rich together.  Even if you start by walking 100 steps, or doing 100 jumping jacks...  Whatever you need to get you started on your journey.  Health and wealth baby!

I will be hitting 1,300 push-ups today. I’ll admit that I’d like a rest day but I’m not going to let the streak be broken. My elbow soreness is gone now and I wake up feeling better and better each morning. It won’t be long now before I start adding back in other arm workouts I’ve been neglecting since starting this challenge.
1,300 push-ups for today or do you mean by today in total since the beginning of this challenge?

Aren't you afraid that you'll have to do 100,000 push-ups (1000 days?) before bitcoin reaches $100,000? Do you have enough will and health to wait for what you want, even if it takes less than 1000 days?

I propose to rename the forum to "PushUpsTalk". Smiley

I do 100 a day. If I want to get more strengthening in after my 100 daily push-ups I do pull-ups or curls. I also try to get some time on the exercise bike and go for a daily walk. I’m thinking maybe I need to add some sort of daily squat routine to this as well… My only fear in life is reincarnation. I don’t fear having to put in work for 1,000 days. That being said, there’s very little chance in my mind that Bitcoin will not hit $100K within the next 500 days.

The monthly chart is looking pretty ugly. The bottom of the 3 month range is $56,500. I think that is potentially the worst we’ll see from this decline. I keep hoping we see a reversal, but so far it’s been a ride downward. Save us Michael Dell.

Second, it's less than a typical daily trading volume. Or half or the coins GBTC has sold since January. And that's the worst case.

So yes, I actually agree with OgNasty, it may be too late to sell now.

(Edit: Today's trading volume has been 44 billion. Normally it's around 15-30 billion. So we can assume the Goxcoin panic caused around 15 billion of additional sales - more than all Goxcoins together ...)

@jossiel - yes, it's not only the Warriors that are actively pursuing Lauren, but if you look at it, perhaps this is a one chance opportunity for him to be on a contender team that can win a ring for him.
Yeah, he should take that deal regardless if he wants to have some change although he's currently in a good team he needs more firepower from his teammates.

Just in, Franz Wagner agrees to a 5-year $224M deal rookie extension. He's so close to the salary of other stars.  Shocked

Sources: Magic, Franz Wagner agree on $224M rookie extension

He deserves this kind of huge salary as he is the second man on the team after Banchero. As for Banchero, he will only become a free agent in 2027. He might get a bigger contract then, probably again the biggest in history. I see this as similar to the Celtics' situation where Brown signed a huge contract, and after that, when Tatum's contract expired, he also signed a whopping $313,933,410 for five years. I hope Banchero will be able to keep himself healthy, as that's all he needs to secure a max extension with the Magic.

Yeah that's just the state of the NBA, if you want to retain your players you need to pay them.  I know it sounds crazy but it's all relative.  Every major sports goes through the exact  same thing.  People tend to reference old contracts and say the new ones aren't worth it but the reality is everything gets more expensive so older contracts are irrelevant.  Good for Wagner he is going to be a good piece for that team for a long time ahead.

A lot of the salary craziness is due to the profitability of the league.  There are only 540 players in the NBA, where there are around 1,000 in the MLB and more than 1,500 in the NFL.  When you look at the deals that are happening and the popularity around the world, the NBA is eating other professional leagues lunches.  With an average NBA player salary of $10,000,000 per year, the NBA is the highest paying professional sports league in the world.  Not a bad company to work for if you can get a job.  Probably also one of the most competitive.  Hard to believe so many ex-players end up broke.
