I dropped out of kindergarten, I couldnt handle being shamed and put in the corner when I asked questions I wasnt supposed to.

Take mountain climbing as a hobby. Your main adversary will be then impersonal gravity. But you'll learn to deal with reality and how to overcome obstacles. Or you'll get yourself killed.

Or you dont mind if people just categorize you as some type of troll? I would think a smart person would want his point of view appreciated and not just dismissed as troll blather.

I'm actually proud of getting called troll by now know fraudsters like DeathAndTaxes or shtylman. On you the question is still open: are you leaning more towards harmless crackpottery or towards willful fraud? We'll see.

I appreciated your post about the getchaintips RPC, that was useful. Maybe you can stick to making useful posts? Like math based analysis, which is what I tried to do. Did I make any math errors?

This is public forum. I make post useful to the global audience of the readers, even if they aren't useful to you or any particular poster of any thread.

Your math error is called: GIGO https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garbage_in%2C_garbage_out .

The mistake you are making is common enough that there's lots of educational texts regarding the "correlation vs. causation" issue. When I was in school profs used to refer to an excellent joke paper written by some Scandinavian scientists about presence of storks and childbirth rates in Scandinavia. I'm not sure if it was ever translated to English.

Thanks! This really helps me find the math error in my analysis. I was missing the storks.

so we just need to wait stork number of blocks and that will be the optimal for mountain climbing.

I guess you think satoshi was an idiot too, as he said something about 10 blocks. Or was he committing fraud or whatever this crockpottery is.

ad hominem attacks vs. historical results with some actual math

And what exactly is this fraud you imply I am conducting? That using a hard coded lookup table (generated from p2p network and validated) instead of a DB is more efficient. Is that my supposed fraud?
