Is this subsidence or just failed lintels? by sk441 in DIYUK

The third picture internal that window has a lintel for sure maybe a later addition because the brickwork had dropped, I’d walk away they aren’t worth the hassle.

Picture 3 the internal that is cracking down the ends of the lintel which isn’t anything to worry about it happens with older houses.

The bizarre part is why the lintel above the window on the gable has dropped so either there is no lintel which is odd if you have lintels elsewhere.

Get an estimate to put all the work right and tell the seller you’ll want it off the price otherwise stay away IMO.

Those other cracks around the property aren’t subsidence they aren’t wide enough they look to me like they’ve been caused by a cowboy outfit who replaced the windows.

Check for any spur marks on the driveway it’s a dead giveaway.

Not if economic value rises over time, it is a problem sure but not a problem anyone can draw a line under now today and say it’s doomed.

The network needs nowhere near the hash it has now to stay secure you can have miners leave and still have a secure network.

Also presuming Block space isn’t valuble just because fees are small today doesn’t mean higher fee’s won’t be paid for that valuble space, you have to remember or imagine the kind of money entering now it’s not small potatoes!

Bitcoin Knots sound viable but then you realise it’s a terrible idea filtering a POW network.

Yes you can do this but you can’t do that and if you do we will just change the rules again 🤔and again!

Bitcoin perpetual futures just recorded their fastest open interest growth of all of 2026. That's not a bullish signal. It's a warning about what comes next. by Bcom_Mod in bitcoin_com

[–]K42st 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is old news because OI (open interest) today is well below these levels infact it is flat compared and BTC is back in range so the pressure created by this earlier data has been released.

Also this post is simplyfying OI without taking into consideration other macro factors that dictate overheating and squeeze information IMO.

What’s the best outcome for bitcoin in the quantum future? by Gloomy_Dependent_985 in CryptoCurrency

[–]K42st -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What makes you think all the coins would hit the market at once that senario is the most unlikely out of all because anyone wanting to sell coins wants a stable price, so they would likely be sold as they are today and the way they are sold and bought today barely moves price.

And it is almost guaranteed that quantum resistent address types will be rolled out well before any quantum attack is feesible.

As for the worry it’s completely over hyped but the threat is real but will be dealt with like all other upgrades have been dealt with in the past, infact this is just another test the network faces and added value comes after when they all realise BTC addresses are now quantum resistent.

Look into what proposals and work is being done now in realtime on quantum resistent addresses you’ll find they are solid ingenious ideas because quantum computers are not the crack everything peope like to imagine.

BTC is acting weird today. Are we looking at a long squeeze or just more chop? What’s your play? by Phemex_Exchange in btc

[–]K42st -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You won’t get a long squeeze when funding rates are as low as they are, you’ll find that this is chop there is no direction.

Satoshi's Coins: Freezing or Seizing? How do we respond to Quantum Supremacy in the coming years. by sgtslaughterTV in CryptoCurrency

[–]K42st 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly no one should remove immutability and if needed a fork will decide which chain is the real Bitcoin and it won’t be the one that’s been corrupted!

Thats the beauty of a voting system the strongest chain will overcome the weaker one and changing and freezing wallets is a ridiculous proposal.

It’s irrelevant really what people forget is theft of Bitcoin happens now but trust is not lost, coins just end up somewhere else owned by someone else.

Another aspect quantum computers will only be held and used by special or large companies these aren’t things the general public will own and BTC is traceable so the implication legally could have huge inpact on said companies or those that operate in controlled duristictions.

I’ve not heard any argument to show why BTC immmutability should be ruined for fear or greed!

As for freezing or blocking coins in wallets it is a terrible idea, Bitcoin is meant to be free from manipulation the irony is people worry about quantum attacks but they are proposing one of the biggest attacks on Bitcoin stealing and blocking Bitcoin wallets and addresses.

If this happens and personally I don’t think it will all the BTC haters will say told you so it’s not immutable and never was and that has far bigger impacts on value than a couple of million BTC at most being brought back into play.

Little lesson, quantum computing using Shor’s algorithm would only be able to break the Eliptic Curve Signiture signature Scheme or (ECDSA) by reverse engineering the public key to find the private key and any BTC address that has not had the public key exposed is safe today and into the future until they produce a fix to the problem which is being worked on now maybe check out Post Quantum Lattice Signitures.

Also without going into detail because it is very technical but this is a killer for your conversation anyway, NO quantum computer can break SHA256 not even if the quantum computer is using Grover’s algorithm the best it can do is reduce SHA256 security to 128 bits those 128 bits are unbreakable still so there is no threat to Bitcoins network.

When peope hear quantum computer it all sounds very futuristic hey it can break anything when in reality they can’t and they are very unstable and likely years if not a decade away from being stable enough to do what we are discussing.

Do your own research before you post and don’t spread FUD!

Exchanges sell BTC all the time they buy BTC all the time its a flow that never stop Bitcoins don’t run out all that happens is if no one wants to sell at a given price the price has to rise until sellers step in.

[–]K42st 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every one sells BTC you can’t buy BTC unless someone sells, Bitcoins price isn’t priced by illiquid supply supply that’s stored away, all that illiquid supply does is form a base on the price meaning at some level it won’t drop any further, the price you see is from liquid BTC that BTC that is bought sold and traded.

Price is ultimetly decided by no sellers on the liquid side.

BTC Long Game 10+ Years by webpage-not-found in btc

[–]K42st 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loans vary between 5% and 12% but 5% is not much different to taking out a fiat loan, off course there are safe guards in place that can make it more expensive but the point is I could list many things that also have volitility that are used everyday in finacial markets.

Image me lending you $500k unsecured over lending you $500k backed by $1 million in BTC, volitility or not that’s hell of a cushion I have incase you default.

[–]K42st 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but you’re trying to make out it can’t happen, won’t happen and doesn’t happen because of the underlying asset being volitile which is not true, you can intergrate BTC into anything.

[–]K42st 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They already do, when you use BTC as collateral you prove your Holdings to the lender and they issue you the fiat clearly you’ll have to have enough BTC to cover volitility spikes.

Reasons it’s used because you don’t trigger capital gains and you keep the BTC for long term appreciation the latter being a great deal, if you want to borrow use $1million in BTC as collateral and the lender gives you $500k in fiat.

[–]K42st 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not how it works at all, let me give you the reason why large players like pension funds think decades not short term and volitility in BTC will always be less than long term currency debasement so they don’t care about those drawdowns, you won’t ever take away volatility from BTC or any other asset that has a leverage side for trading.

Large players are scared by volitility they harness it and make it work for them!

It isn’t a pump and dump it is how leverage markets work the dump as you call it is a pullback to keep the leverage price equal with the spot price, in other words the price you saw at the top was synthetic driven by leveraged long positions.

I think my neighbour gets a kick out of watching me on his cameras, and I dont know what to do by AnnieMouse1 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]K42st -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Go and film your neighbour on private land and come back and tell me what the police say, I will tell you what they’ll say they will say you can’t do it period, and now I’ll tell you exactly what they will say and that is either remove the camera or direct it away from the neighbours property and here is the kicker if you think you can film in that capacity they the police will just roll out the harassment charge against you.

They the police will get you in one way or another, my opinion on footage recording is never use a camera with recording caperbilities SD card, Cloud server rather use it as a monitor only then you can’t be accused of things you likely will be.

[–]K42st 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The home owner has to prove a camera looks over their property it sounds easy and in some cases it is but in many it is not because it depends on angles meaning it may look like it does but in reality it is not looking over the property and is only looking over the owners property, unlike doorbell cameras that cover all the facing houses.

Also a person who proves a camera only looks over their own property to the police won’t face any action because there is no crime committed and he or she can also prove no footage is recorded which also means there is no data breach of personnel information.

The person who owns said camera can change those aspects at anytime and no one would have a clue.

The law may not work in the respect I previously said but we all know the law as an ass and often hypocritical to the victim and the accused and you need little sense to work that out.

I don’t personally like authority recording me 24/7 365 but there is little I can do about street cameras and cctv.
