The headline/teaser made me smirk and after reading I am way much less scared about those quantum thingies factoring meaningful numbers (like i.e. public keys) in foreseeable future:

..
Peter Gutmann, a professor of computer science at the University of Auckland New Zealand, thinks PQC is bollocks – "nonsense" for our American readers – and said as much in a 2024 presentation [PDF], "Why Quantum Cryptanalysis is Bollocks."

Where does one get the wallet?
Website - http://spacecoin.info  is not working

Is the coin still on exchanges?

Also, have you seen:  https://spacecoin.org/ ?

I have only the github: https://github.com/midnight-miner/spacecoin

Everything else needs to be answered by midnight_miner.

As the network seems still alive and kicking I'd like to offer the following bountys for people contributing to SPACE:

50'000 SPACE for a synced block explorer
50'000 SPACE for running the block explorer for 1 year (paid after one year)
50'000 SPACE for getting SPACE onto an exchange


You should give away coins just for people holding a wallet.  If this is a staking coin, you might get people on board.

Yeah, certainly worth a shot, why not.

The first 10 bitcointalk users with a registration date before Jan 1st 2025 who PM me a Spacecoin address will receive 5'000 Spacecoins.
Deadline is by end of July 2025 midnight.

Are we going to be nominated for the richest public forum today?

We have a fund of 1196 $BTC or equivalent to $129,083,136 for now at Bitcoin price of $108K. Shocked

fuck. Could launch a full-on social media platform for 1/10th of that!

The difference is that a SM platform earns money by selling out its users, AFAIK this is not the case with bct.
One of the rare cases when it's free and we're still not the actual product.

Haven't bought a bottle for like 20+ years.

Still in memorie during my student period when my stomach made from iron, lol.



Oh, don't remind me of Strohrum, that shit burned like hell no matter through which body orifices it entered or left ones body (especially when it traveled through the same orifice in reverse direction a few days of sore throat were guaranteed).
Though 35yrs ago here but I still have a very lively memory of the burn feeling..

That said, it's Gin-O'clock here, so cheers!

Unfortunately
drilling here is expensive
like one btc per hole
.

...

We inquired a geothermal heat pump a few years ago because the idea is brilliant and effective compared to air heat pumps but when the guy started to list expenses we realized we would well end up in the 6 figure range just for drilling the hole, I guess at current corn prices the whole setup would cost over 1 BTC, possibly up to 1.5 easily. An AC costs me <$10k installed and probably like $200-500 per summer for leccy. For heating in winter we spend like ~1200 for oil + ~500 for wood.

That said, the amortization time frame for such an apparatus is well beyond the reach of my mortal residues. Still like the concept and I guess once installed and paid you enjoy (almost) free heating and cooling.

ah i went horizontal loop as i have the land. so 2000 foot loop of pex buried six feet down in my back yard. mucho cheaper than drilling as only needed an excavator to trench 6 feet down, lay the pex and fill it back in.

and at the time we needed to replace our ageing boiler heat system a decade or so ago there were some nice tax rebates and zero percent loans to go with geothermal installs.

That sounds quite straightforward, I guess you'll need at least about 200m of pipes laid out (considering that in our case they wanted to drill down to 150-180m depth, hence the cost) but your solution might possibly work for me in front of the house.
I duckduckgo'd it and it seems they call it here "spiral collectors", though I suspect the efficiency of the spiral setup is probably a bit lower than a hole down to 180m.

I am actually pretty happy with my oil heating as we use it only to create some baseline and warm water - the rest is done with the wood stove. But oil heatings are legally phased out here, since this year you can't replace central elements of an oil heating and 2025 is the last year we're allowed to replace simpler parts so I bought a new oil burner for it and hope it works for another 10yrs.

But once the thing breaks down, I need something with a green stamp on it and I totally despise air heat pumps as I am still convinced that at -15°C they are basically very expensive and ineffective electric heatings - the geothermal stuff on the other hand does make sense to me (yeah, as if I knew shit..).
I personally would have loved a wood heating but she-who-calls-the-shots is concerned about me carrying 5 room meters wood down to the basement every year when I get even older than I already am.

Friggin shitty heat
psycodads brain shutdown, but
corn unaffected.

AC affordable
with few satoshis, but then
no use in winter.

geothermal rocks
both heat and AC combined
a ground source heatpump

takes heat from the house
preheats your hot water tank
desuperheater


Unfortunately
drilling here is expensive
like one btc per hole.

Can afford a lot
of leccy and oil for that
as long as I last.

But good you have it
I do envy you a lot,
staying cool these times.


Seriously though, whenever missus and me decide to shell out some money for a split AC and installation, the next summer will be cool and rainy so we delay it again only to regret it the year after next bitterly (like i.e. NOW).

watching a couple peeps in the senate chamber literally playing "rock paper scissors" lol

guess theyre doing their due diligence on that one big beutiful bill



Due diligence by
rock paper scissors in USA
is terribly 2024-ish.

Modern societies
of course use better methods:
dice or tarot cards.

Sundays are doing

If I ordered now
would be installed in autumn
what a misery.

Nuclear iceage
ironically could be
very useful now.

Hate haikus truely
Dunno why I do this now,
boredom possibly?

Help, my brain is hot
Cannot help myself but keep
vomitting haikus.

I stop the whining,
rampant grumbling does no good
still way too hot here.

Done with haikus now
back to my hodler coma
please let it snow soon.

Bye bye 100k, it was nice
knowing you, hope to see you
again very soon.

Hopes for hookers and
blow we had, instead we'll fist
fight at gas stations.

^I am not pretending these to be Haikus at all, but the prospect of WWIII evokes strange desires in me - like for example crossing "Haiku writing" from my bucket list.

Looks like I'm going to be scouring LowEndTalk for a while.
Note: I've seen and paid good and bad providers, and I've been burned more than once. So be careful who you trust.
I'm quite happy with Racknerd too:
Code:
up 741 days, 19:49

I can second that statement about Racknerd, running a kvm vps there since ~3yrs and no single problem so far.
But I concede that I am a few inches days short in the uptime-dick-swinging-contest (damn them friggin kernel update reboots..):  Grin
Code:
up 593 days, 16:12

Though unfortunately Racknerd accepts some crypto but not Monero:


We accept the following payment methods:

    ALL major credit cards (AMEX, Discover, VISA, Master).
    PayPal
    Cryptocurrency (Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, Ethereum, USDT, USDC)
    Alipay/支付宝
    Wire

Just read that John Young, one of most influential and principled cypherpunks and operator of the famous site cryptome.org died in March this year at age 89.

Rest in peace and thank you for all your work!

You can say what you want about Donnie, but rollercoaster prez really keeps making things interesting before they even start to get boring.

Years ago, when I saw price dropping like a stone I wondered "what just happened?".
Nowadays when I see the red arrows hunting south I catch myself thinking "what did he do now?"

Happy for you guys but do you sometimes look at other charts than $/BTC?

Fuck stocks and Fuck shitcoins. Fuck $USD.

Bitcoin only.

FTFY

SaintFlow is right though. While this thread is specifically about BTC/USD tracking, the real ATH will happen when it applies to all world fiat currencies.

Oh well, it's even worse with that petro-shitcoin than I feared. While being enthusiastic about eyeing a new ATH, I checked against my local fiat currency:

Current ATH sits according to Kraken at CHF 99'300 at 19th of January this year. Currently corn is trading at ~ CHF 88'500. So I personally am more than 10% away from a real life ATH.

Current ATH compared to Gold happened around the same time with with roughly 38 oz / piece of corn, now it is trading at ~32.2 - almost 20% under an ATH.

I am not going to celebrate a new ATH before >$120k and that is under the premise that his orange majesty Dollar Dump doesn't manage to devalue the $ even more (admittedly, it seems he is amazingly good at that and the pace is unprecedented).

My point is, measuring BTC against USD has become truly self-deceiving.

Maybe it's time to indeed measure against something meaningful like kg of ramen for one bitcoin.
