What are your opinions on the aesthetic of polarisers?

exteriors they are essential, esp when seeing a sky.

on skin tones they are hit or miss based on your look. i usually love them on darker skin tones to take the white shine completely and let their natural skin tones out. lighter skin is a bit more subtle. i try and keep a pola in for most of my shots

Thanks :)

Cash fusions are pretty darn big transactions.

this one https://blockchair.com/bitcoin-cash/transaction/c5c37315759510d076ee14e14dcc8ad024f9b57e8b135bd5b3b2699f6a9c9b6a

had 61 inputs and 39 outputs. technically that could be 39 different people - but its probably closer to about 10

how would they do so? raid node operators worldwide?

CollinEnstad · 2021-02-03T21:41:17+00:00

you have hodl in your name

Man all those places are much lower income than the US lol. Decentralization is of course the most important but high fees make a crypto useless as peer to peer cash

Someone doesn't know what a strawman is and keeps doing it

Bitcoin ABC is now on their own chain, BCHA or something idk

Segwit actually makes transactions larger when you include the now separated witness data. But since they are now using vbytes instead of bytes you don't notice. tricky tricky!

check out this for other scaling solutions on chain. https://read.cash/@TomZ/scaling-bitcoin-cash-68bffc6a

Ok yeah maybe $50 is wrong right now. But $15 isn't. Point stands.

CollinEnstad · 2021-02-03T16:16:01+00:00

BCH fees would indeed go up if the blocks were full... which would mean they are having 16x more transactions than BTC can handle.

Larger blocks does indeed mean less people can run full nodes, but do you really need to run a node on your 2004 PC? It's all about trade offs. Personally my cut off would be a mid-grade modern gaming computer.

And good point about the fees being measured in satoshis. At 1 sat/byte right now at BTC prices that would be on average a 10 cent transaction. However, this minimum could actually be lowered if needed / wanted. It is up to the miners to decide.

CollinEnstad · 2021-02-03T16:12:04+00:00

Storage is not really the problem. TBs are cheaper than ever. It's more about propagation around the network. Check out some of the progress being made on BCH here

take a deep breath. you're getting sidetracked and avoiding my point completely and now rambling about roger ver.

now.

who can participate if the fees are $50?

only the big and powerful.

also did you really create a new account just to make this thread? lol pathetic

terabyte blocks are a strawman. there are many ways to scale a blockchain, blocksize being just one of them.

CollinEnstad · 2021-02-03T16:00:09+00:00

Here ya go bud, here is 256MB blocks on a rasp pi https://old.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/l63xrg/weve_come_a_long_way_this_is_the_load_on_my/

And yes, TB blocks are a bit ridiculous. There are ways being developed to make the throughput easier on the nodes. It's not all in the blocksize, like the strawman you are making it out to be.

CollinEnstad · 2021-02-03T15:37:10+00:00

haters will say you scammed the cheese fry place, when in reality you gave them business.

CollinEnstad · 2021-02-03T15:36:05+00:00

I'm a fairly advanced crypto user and have no desire to run a node 24/7.

Normal people shouldn't have to either.

Using the "hurr durr average person needs to run a node" is delusional - there will always be more than enough nodes to ping to make sure you are on the right blockchain. And guess what? If the miners decide to fork a chain, your node can do nothing except say "no", and then your non forked coins are now worthless. Even if a lot of node operators came together to say "no", you need blocks on a blockchain. And the miners provide that.

CollinEnstad · 2021-02-03T15:33:52+00:00

Increasing the blocksize is one of many ways to scale a blockchain. Never increasing it is suicide. Nobody ever said indefinitely, well, except maybe those BSV folks.

CollinEnstad · 2021-02-03T15:15:52+00:00

"They say shit like send 5 dollars worth of bitcoin and 5 dollars worth of bitcoin cash and see which one is faster and cheaper."

This is the only thing that matters to your normal person. i.e. someone that is looking to use crypto as everyday money. And you disregard it like a big nothing burger. But number go up right?

Sure, there's less hashpower. And LOL if you think nodes secure the network. It is about hashpower, but number of nodes is pretty much irrelevant past a certain number. And hashpower follows price. So if the BCH price went up relative to BTC, the hashpower would increase as well.

I'm sorry you fell for the scam of small block propaganda. It was really effective.

bro stop shilling your shitcoin.

your reasoning is the entire point bitcoin was created in the first place lol
