I recently experienced a power failure while performing the Initial Block Download (IBD) onto a Samsung T7 solid state drive, which was partitioned for ext4 and mounted with the default data=ordered journaling option. My node was running with the following parameters: -txindex=1 -blockfilterindex=1 peerblockfilters=1.

Thankfully, the node started back up without any issues. However, I am concerned about the possibility of data corruption (blocks, indexes, etc.) due to the power failure. To be on the safe side, I've decided to restart the node with -checkblocks=0 -checklevel=3 options to verify the integrity of the stored data.

Is this enough to ensure that no data has been corrupted due to the power failure? Or should I consider taking additional steps to verify the integrity of my node data?

Thank you in advance for your help!

The coin remains strong.

Wow, proudhon is still here. His account is almost as old as mine. 

It looks like a fairly large difficulty drop is coming, currently estimated as between -17.6856% and -7.4388% by diff.cryptothis.com. Miners are not having an easy time for the moment.

I think we will get a little drop at the next adjustment but it will trend upwards after that.

Looks like in three and a half days we will be getting a 1.6% drop. Not bad. Sure, maybe miners were on a last ditch effort before the halving to run the last of their old hardware and are now switching off. That's what I did with GPUs when ASICs were coming online. Happens during every change in the system.

I'm checking out OKEx and Kraken. Could anyone comment on the relative strengths of their futures trading platforms?

I think difficulty will be greater for epoch 313 and 314. We are currently in 312.

It's remarkable how few difficulty drops there have been. A quick look at the diff charts show the biggest drops in 2011, 2018, 2019, and 2020.

I agree miners are generally well capitalized speculators. Miner selling has been trending down this year.

On-chain indicators such as CryptoQuant's "Total Miner Halving Capitulation Index" do not show unusual selling pressure among miners at this time.

Looks like we'll be getting an increase of about 0.88%. Miner capitulation has already happened. This is it!

Central banks are gearing up for a coordinated rate cut.

CHOO CHOO

Less bearish.

And the translation from Google:

"In general, between the girls, I'm tired of it all.  Forecasts are not the same for me, I do them without the former grasp and vision.  Fattered, settled Vanga ...

 But to be honest, according to the latest market situation, I can say that the short-term bearish picture again suddenly deteriorates.  Just wanted to say it."

"Booбщe, мeждy нaми дeвoчкaми, нaдoeлo мнe этo вce. Пpoгнoзы yжe нe тe y мeня, дeлaю я иx бeз былoй xвaтки и видeнья. Pacтoлcтeлa, ocтeпeнилacь вaнгa...

Пoxoжe-тaки дaльшe нe пoйдeм пoкa... $8000 нe дepжитcя.

"Hy чтo, тpeyгoльник в чeтвepкe и нa 10к$?"

Google translation: "What is the triangle in the four and $ 10k?"

Translation of previous post:

"I looked at the unfortunate and daytime closure of the deadline .... Notice of the ease of the trending. Bitcoin said, “Xc who's the fuckin ',” and democratically went about typing at 3000 to 10,000 in one wave, having broken the slash of oil. All we will be testing $ 6000, however,). Mda. What does this say to us?

Bitcoin has wondered that it has been greatly repaired. (Kkhm, still, sitting almost on the verge of a bad 200 ...). If you want to get it

Still Bitcoin said, who has to scour, it will remain free of charge.

More fine My new opinion is $ 10k, then $ 6k. But this is not accurate! ))"

Пoглядeл я нa нeдeльныe и днeвныe зaкpывшиecя cвeчи.... Hи нaмeкa нa cлaбocть тpeндa.

Recent stock-to-flow ratio posts impressed me as the most interesting new price model to come out in years. But this thread is really for following masterluc IMO, although he no longer posts here of course. Maybe we should make a new thread about bitcoin stock-to-flow.
