Understand yes my brother, the question is, the result of last week's lottery together with the last few years following logic we came to the conclusion that we can reach the same result from now on, even because we are in 2025 and there is a lot ahead, so based on the experience of the last few years we can believe in seeing more blocks in the ck pool both with small TH or even PH, even because the code and the pool were made for this, that's what it says on the website solo.ckpool.org, even if the solution of blocks with smaller hashes is of a rare nature I believe that this is what will keep hope for those who do not have much hash or even those who have a lot of hash. In other words, the result of the last few years and results from now on will say a lot about the future of the ck pool

What happend yesterday has no bearing on what happens today or tomorrow.
With that kind of power pointed here, ja, there will be an expected good number of winners. Difference is because winner takes all (minus 2%) it is more news worthy and being part of a split earnings pool. Some the folks who have found blocks here using just a Compac-F USB stick miner that had been chugging away for several months while the more recent folks had several hundred PH of rental hash pointed here for several days/weeks.
As the saying goes: Random is random and with a large enough sample size over time raw statistics proves it.

Re: Terrorist attack carried out by US regime showed the necessity of retribution
reminder
says the guy that thinks a wall screw is evidence of a certain bomb being used
its a 1.2cm diameter wall screw called a rawlplug!! its not a bomb
seems it was pooya doing DIY not research
the attacks are on houthi rebels.. its the houthi rebels that are grabbing up civilians and putting them inside their military bases and weapons stockpiles.
its the houthi rebels that know full and well that they are causing the risk of death of those they hold hostage
Ya.Things are the same here. The reports coming from the ground inside Gaza and Yemen alongside the samples taken indicate usage of nuclear munitions. Obviously Western outlets are not going to admit gross violation of international law as they are violating it.
Many are saying that one of the delivery systems used is GBU-39 bombs.

P.S. BTW this is all off-topic. The subject is about targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure intentionally to cause terror among people and hope for a revolt.
no one is targetting civilians in yemen.the attacks are on houthi rebels.. its the houthi rebels that are grabbing up civilians and putting them inside their military bases and weapons stockpiles.

For one, a projectile made of DU (depleted Uranium) is by any definition NOT a "nuclear munition" - it simply is an extremely dense metal kinetic projectile that happens to be made from a type of Uranium. In its metallic state it has zero special handling or storage requirements and because of that, in fact it has a myriad of commercial uses. DU when in a powdered dust or worse yet, oxide dust is another story - more on that later - in short it is highly toxic the same as any other heavy metal is.
It is NOT (yet) banned by any international treaty or ruling and ALL major countries that have mobile weapon platforms such as tanks & other armored fighting vehicles and weapons to be used against tanks and other armored targets use them. Those countries include but are not limited to: USA, Russia, all European countries, China, Finland, Sweden, Iraq before, during, and after Saddam, Iran, all middle east countries et al. DU kinetic projectiles are used because for several reasons, they are hands-down the best way to penetrate armor and destroy the target. Period.
Actually there was substantial press coverage by all sides regarding the weapons being used including how effective the coalitions weapons were at destroying Saddam's tanks and armored vehicles.
That said, it must be pointed out that the Gulf war and Balkan conflicts were the first time DU kinetic rounds were ever used in large scale conflicts. The environmental consequences of what happens when 10's - 100's of thousands of rounds have impacted armor - as they penetrate the rounds end up incinerating into DU oxide dust was completely unknown. THAT was only found out a few years after the wars were over and became the subject of many many many news reports and investigations.
You may dislike Wikipedia but they have an extensive page about DU that is well worth reading and keeping as a reference.
In summary of it:
A. Munitions using DU are NOT 'nuclear munitions'
B. Yes after a DU projectile impacts a target, it being converted into DU oxide dust it can have VERY significant heavy metal toxicity issues and yes it contaminates the surrounding area.
C. Any other side effects DU oxide has is being extensively researched (look up Gulf War Disease) and so far all investigations are by no means conclusive though the general consensus is that because of the environmental impact an alternative to DU kinetic projectiles should be found.
Re: European Union to ban anonymous crypto and privacy tokens by 2027
Well this article of Cointelegraph and its title seem to mostly be a clickbait actually. Because those claims come from the interpretation of some regulatory texts by European Crypto Initiative (EUCI), written in a book, so it's not an official statement from european legal institutions as I understand fortunately.
Besides that, it doesn't seem to concern individuals, only platforms actually.
That does not surprise me in the least. Most crypto e-magazines are not just aggregators of articles, papers and news releases but also make money running pay-to-post stories as well. In this case the 'story' being no doubt being provided by the books publisher.Besides that, it doesn't seem to concern individuals, only platforms actually.

Re: Terrorist attack carried out by US regime showed the necessity of retribution
He also does not seem to get that the GBU-39 is intended to reduce collateral damage by being a much smaller and more precise weapon. Again, a debatable point is using DIME warheads which even further greatly reduces the lethal blast radius:
Quote
focused-blast explosive such as dense inert metal explosive (DIME). This should further reduce collateral damage when using the weapon for pinpoint strikes in urban areas.
Kicker of course is that if you are just wounded you may still suffer from after effects.Re: Terrorist attack carried out by US regime showed the necessity of retribution

the GBU-39 is not banned
After the large scale usage of GBU-39 against civilian targets in Gaza it was proven that this bomb uses depleted uranium which has lots of side effects. Usage of such bombs are internationally banned. In Europe for instance the resolution to ban them was passed on 22 May 2008 (Document 52008IP0233).Go troll somewhere else Franky.
The GBU-39 can carry several types of warheads and only 1 of them is controversial: It called DIME and does NOT contain depleted uranium - it contains micro particles of a (different) dense inert metal. The debate is not about banning the GBU-39, it is about banning DIME wareheads. From the wiki article:
Quote
To date, tungsten alloy (heavy metal tungsten alloy, or HMTA) composed of tungsten and other metals such as cobalt and nickel or iron has been the preferred material for the dense microshrapnel or powder.
That said, using DIME warheads nonetheless does cause serious bio effects to folks that are not immediately killed by the bomb:
Quote
Tungsten alloy carcinogenicity may be most closely related to the nickel content of the alloys used in weapons to date; however, pure tungsten and tungsten trioxide are also suspected of carcinogenic and other toxic properties, and have been shown to have such effects in animal studies.[6]
In 2009, a group of Italian scientists affiliated with the New Weapons Research Committee (NWRC) watchdog group pronounced DIME wounds "untreatable" because the powdered tungsten they dispense cannot be removed surgically.[7]

so did anyone print the block chain?
You're kidding right? You know how many millions upon millions of pages it would take? Even if printed out - have fun re-entering the data back into digital form....Something I've yet to see any complaints about is what the US CBP is wanting to see on a phone or other device. Again, there has to be a reason for them to ask - they are NOT allowed to just scroll through the contents of a phone or other device to see what's on it 'because they can' - they will be looking for specific things.
My 1st guess is because the travelers documents such as ticket, hotel and tour reservations etc are there. Since these days more and more travelers don't carry hard copies of the documents the only way to verify them is via their phone or other device. For foreign travelers entering the US - something that is always asked is length of stay, return ticket and lodging info. Those are the basic things they will ALWAYS want to know and you should ALWAYS be prepared to give.
Print them out and now no reason to look at an electronic device...
As for TSA screening - all they will want to see is that the device turns on. During the years of my travels that is ALL they ever wanted to see (Disclaimer: I am fully registered w/TSA and Global Entry programs). In the case of a laptop, they are happy as soon as the initial boot or login screen pops up. They just need to verify that the large, dense, objects in them are batteries & not explosives.

Re: [∞ YH] solo.ckpool.org 2% fee solo mining 299 blocks solved!
My understand of the pool even if you don't fine shares you can still find a block? So regardless if you submit shares or not it makes no difference since you're not sharing the block reward with a community of miners
NO! If you are trying to use say a Nerdminer (70kHs) and never are able to submit a share because it is too slow, there is no way you can 'find a block'. Shares are proof that you have a valid miner that is doing work.This is one of the biggest reasons to never go to usa for a vacation. USA is the most corrupt country in the world. It doesn't matter if they have fourth ammendment and any other laws that protect people when those laws are not followed.
Read the law and ask a lawyer and they will say you have nothing to worry about, the laws protect you. Then you read the experiences by travelers and incredibly many people are saying their rights have been violated.
Yes other countries do this too but usa is the worst of them all. And it's also usa who started with this corrupt scheme which inspired some other countries to do the same.

Some hard stats on US CBP traveler screening from https://www.cbp.gov/travel/cbp-search-authority/border-search-electronic-devices emphasis is mine:
Quote
Of the 420 million travelers CBP processed at ports of entry in FY 2024, 12,660,784 (3%) travelers were referred for a secondary inspection.
A border search of electronics is not a required action during a secondary inspection. In fact, CBP only conducted border searches of the electronic devices of 47,047 travelers in FY 2024, representing approximately 0.3% of secondary inspections and less than 0.01% of all arriving international travelers encountered at ports of entry.
Of the 47,047 border searches of electronic devices encountered at port of entry, 42,725 (90%) were basic searches in which the devices were not connected to external equipment to review, copy and/or analyze its contents.
Given that - I for one have zero concerns crossing US borders. Of course regarding other countries could well be a different story... It all depends on their own laws.A border search of electronics is not a required action during a secondary inspection.

As a Frequent Traveller with over 10 million air-miles to my record from when I worked as an industrial laser Field Engineer for over 48 years flying all over the US and the world, at least 1/2 of the miles were from international travel. In all those years only 2x did I have to go through any sort of secondary screening in ANY country and none involved searches of my computer or phone. One country was China and the other oddly enough was Canada - both were only interested in the contents of my service tools kit and details of my work VISA.
How much are these going for?

Re: What would be the best way to get through customs at an airport with your Btc?
It's worth mentioning that security agents have been busted stealing cash and valuables from passengers at airports and ports.
You make it sound like this is a common thing... At least in Western countries it is NOT. Frankly I am unaware of any incidents of it happening in the US CBP. Mainly because all inspections are done according to strict protocols one of which is the mandatory presence of at least 1 other officer.Stealing cash and valuables from travelers has always been more of an issue centered around the baggage handlers and even then in the US it is an exceedingly rare occurrence.

It seems like some pools are doing some testing on testnet3, and given that testnet4 is being hijacked by that same asshole who is abusing the rules of testnet4, they just didn't bother to compete with him and overthrow them.
Which makes you wonder -- do these guys even know how to code shit? If yes, what stops them from taking testnet4? They don't want to fight evil with evil?
Good question.Which makes you wonder -- do these guys even know how to code shit? If yes, what stops them from taking testnet4? They don't want to fight evil with evil?
The current 'leader' is Terra Pool which has 1.82EH behind them per the website (if you dig deep enough). Odd thing is - all Google searches come up with then being an altcoin validator pool - LUNA it be exact.
So why the F is one or more of there users pointing hash rate at the testnet? I do see that most of their block contain tx's so as you said, maybe someone is using pooled resources to actually (and very quickly) test code?
Re: Testnet 51% possible ? today ?
Folks, you DO realize that anyone with a SINGLE current high-end miner can easily do a Testnet 51% attack right? The Bitmain S21 XP hydro does 473TH/s....
According to ASICMinerValue.com, this thing mines €18.53 worth of Bitcoin per day. So the cost of this 51% attack to anyone who owns this ASIC would only be $21 per day.I'd say the fact that nobody does it confirms there's no point in doing this
It also reinforces the point that the only reason there are folks hitting the testnet so hard is because:
A. They can
B. They enjoy screwing with testnet and breaking what it is intended to be used for
C. There sad to say, is a market for selling tBTC to idjits
Heavens forbid that they make a Faucet to distribute their coins to developers that actually need it and can't mine it themselves because of these attacks...
