Was surprised to see this topic pop up again. Ja, it seems that QBT is still trying to convince the world that They Are Onto Something and the world stubbornly keeps proving to them that they are just either:
 a. Idiots
 b. Scammers
 c. Dreamers with no idea how mining really works
 d. Just plain wrong
 e. All the above

More given given for ya keeping tabs on them.

So now yer talking about quantum PC's? As in personal consumer-grade? 
Folks you do know that QC's capable of doing ANYTHING do not even exist yet right? Once they progress to actually being able to do something significant, give it maybe another 30 years or more for that.

Right now they are almost at the stage where standard computers were back in the late 1940's - early 50's: huge machines filling entire rooms. Difference is at least the original computers were able to actually process data whereas the current prototype QC's can't even do that...

OP, Does France give a tax discount for coins held more than 1 year?  In the US capital gains tax on coins (or any other investment) held for more than 1 year varies from 0-20% depending on your yearly income. Coins held for less than 1 year can be taxed up to 30%.

The OP obviously either used a really bad translator or AI to generate their post along with the laughably incorrect title. No matter what, don't expect the OP to return to correct it.  Roll Eyes

Oh bloody hell, yet another QC calamity FUD thread...
Get over it folks and dig deeper into where progress in Quantum Computers actually is and stop repeating crap based on pure speculation.
Just like fusion power, the reality is still very far away from what is circulating on the 'net.

Ya well I loaded it into electrum it's a wallet.dat I came across recovering old hardrives and I found it about a year ago I gave up on it cuz I figured it was fake but then I look at it again and someone broadcasted some transactions on july4 so Im thinking it is a real wallet 
Which then obviously does not belong to you. You will find no help here for your attempted theft of someone else's coins.

Re: Block withholding attacks

Your miner knows before anyone else if they hashed a valid block, and thus, they can chose to not sumbit it, however, there is no direct gain for the attacker to do so, in fact, the attacker will lose money along side the pool and everyone else.
The one exception to that is hash rental companies such as NiceHash and MRR et al. They have in the past (several years ago) been accused of withholding blocks pointed at specific pools. Reasons were never hashed out (pun) but general opinion was to try and break the target pools as favors to some large players.

Then maybe 8 years ago there was the unintentional block withholding by Genesis mining who were using Slush. They had a massive hashrate and so when other Slush users hit a block Genesis got paid per their hash rate. One problem: Genesis was using a proxy to combine all their miners into one connection and that proxy had a bug in it that caused it to ignore all block found. Somewhere in the Forum there is a long series of posts about it.

Methinks it was Kano that pointed out the problem to Slush who then bitched at Genesis (who fixed the bug) but never returned any of the BTC to the Slush users who lost out on earnings that Genesis got for doing useless work. With Genesis at the time being something like 1/4 of Slush's hash rate that was a rather large amount.

Re: Why Address Reuse is a Silent Killer of Bitcoin Privacy (And How to Avoid It)

Frankly, I have zero problems regarding my BTC being part of a public record and being able to be tracked. All of my fiat or crypto tx's are 100% legal and are reported to the IRS anyway so I don't get what the 'privacy problem' is. Maybe in other countries where crypto is frowned on there can be concerns but in the USA - I don't see any problems.

Can i find hash below target with rate 43.000.000.000 in 3 days?
I assume you mean 43GH/s hash rate.
With the current network difficulty, the odds of you finding a block at 43GH/s are
Chance per block: 1 in 22,010,930,233
Chance per day: 1 in 152,853,682
Time estimate: 418,777 years

So no not any time soon, though stranger things have happened.

So what Im reading is that there is a chance Smiley
Absolutely. As long as a miner is fast enough to process at least 1 share before the next block is found (on avg every 10 min) and work is reset, there is always a chance.

I agree that it is a last-ditch effort by Celsius. The terms of the loan they had with Tether very clearly spelled out when a margin call is triggered. If Tether did not follow the 10-hour notice bit not sure of as most loan agreements do have a 'final notice of intent' for triggering a margin call but most of the time it is at least 24hours before forced liquidation of assets happens.

As for the amount Celsius is suing for - not gonna happen. IF a judge even allows the lawsuit to proceed standard rule of law is for fiat value at the time an event occurred.

so why is IMF not bothering US with its policies when its also creating market distortions.
Um, because unlike many smaller countries the USA has no loans from the IMF so the IMF has no say in what we do.

Um, you should know that one cannot 'mine' BTC using an app on a phone. ALL such apps are either outright scams or often spyware/malware.

Re: How much PSU overload is possible with immersion setup

⭐ Merited by vapourminer (2)
Directly using Butane/Propane is out of the question due to the pressure needed (145-200psi) to liquefy it and the fact that the immersion tank needs access for the miners so not only big but also needs a hatch. Might as well use a Flourinert that is liquid with a boiling point of say 140F and condense the vapor using water from a dry cooler.

Re: (High handling fee) Seeking independent miners to process transactions

However, since the transaction has not been confirmed by the mainstream mining pool, I hope to be able to package the transaction directly into the block through independent miners or small miners to ensure that the transaction is confirmed as quickly as possible.
That is NOT how mining works. A tx must first be packaged into the work sent to a miner either from your full node or from the mempool. Only when your miner or one in a pool finds the block with your tx in it is it confirmed. Until then it is just another tx waiting like all the others and if someone else finds a block using work that does not have your tx in it, your tx will have to be put into new work to try again. and again. and again. and again....

The fastest way is to just get it into the mempool so all miners can see it and if it has a decent fee they will include it in work being processed.

You *do* know that just putting your custom tx into a block for processing by a single miner does NOT guarantee it will ever be processed right? Said miner has to be the one that solves the block and that has very very very poor odds.

Best bet would be to run your own full node and send your tx into mempool so it gets picked up by pools to be processed.
