I’m going by the same exchange rate used for the faucet.
I asked which one to check you know which exchange is used for all our calculations.
If I remember correctly, the base WOF prize was 2 cents worth of BTC rounded down to the nearest sat. Now it’s 2 cents in BTC rounded down and then another sat is subtracted. The difference is negligible but I still found this change kind of odd.
The base prize was actually 0.8 cents when WoF was first introduced so you're still getting well over what we budgeted for.
~ And yet with regard to providers. They provide internet access. But they don't even have the ability to block anything.
That's a misconception. Take it from a retired Cisco Certified Internet Expert that governments don't control ISP's infrastructure. They simply pass laws that force ISPs to comply with orders to block things. China is an exception to that because they control the Great Firewall of China. People in China aren't really on the internet they are on a private network with restricted internet access.
Do you mean you are a CCIE-Cisco Certified Interconnect Expert or just a retired normal Cisco Engineer,if you are or were a CCIE that is freakin awesome to find one such person here in the forum.
In China there is no google yes so they restrict people for real there.And everywhere else in the world ISP-s can block any sites the governments tell them to do so,they restrict it in their DNS-servers through their devices.Mostly ISP-s use Cisco devices when they are really big or when they are small they go to other vendors like Mikrotik and Ubiquity,both such providers can restrict whatever they are told to.
