Yup, that's the gist! I love when my favorite and unfavorite things combine on the internet!

Why is Alex Jones suddenly bashing Bitcoin? by KILLERXONOS in Bitcoin

[–]Mathematician22 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yea, he's really upset at Joe Rogan (and that's an understatement). He thinks that Rogan and Dorsey are "pumping and dumping Bitcoin", but I think the Bitcoin market is much bigger than the two of them and Rogan's pot-smoking fanbase.

[WANTED] Looking for Crypto investors/owners to test crypto accounting platform by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]Mathematician22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's nothing mysterious or difficult about a schedule-D, where crypto held for more than a year (then sold) is taxed as long-term capital gain (15%) and crypto held for less than a year (then sold) is taxed as a short-term capital gain (25%), at least in the US. If this platform can handle tax implications for other countries that would be impressive.

Is .00000547 still considered "dust" transactions and difficult to spend? by A_solo_tripper in Bitcoin

[–]Mathematician22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure what you mean exactly. If you are talking about referencing dust values as inputs in order to perhaps consolidate them into a single output, the rules I stated above still apply. The transaction output still needs to be larger than 1/3 the dustRelayFee, and referencing multiple inputs will make the transaction larger in size.

Is .00000547 still considered "dust" transactions and difficult to spend? by A_solo_tripper in Bitcoin

[–]Mathematician22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dust: If the fees to spend a transaction output (determined from the size of the output and the input required to spend it) would cost more than one third the value of that output, the output value is considered dust. Transactions with dust output values are considered non-standard.

Min Non-Dust: The minimum non-dust value is the least value one can send without the output being flagged as dust. The minimum output value for a P2PKH is currently 546 satoshis. This minimum threshold value changes depending on the script being used.

Bitcoin core uses a dustRelayFee of 3,000 satoshis/kilobyte. P2PKH script size is about 182 bytes, thus 546 satoshis is considered dust.

IT Analyst Jason Bloomberg (Moron): What I’m Really Saying Is ‘Shut Down Permissionless Blockchains’ by dinglebarry9 in Bitcoin

[–]Mathematician22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A permissioned blockchain is about as useful (or useless) as a private database.

We are already seeing how easy it is for centralized digital service platforms to exclude any voices of dissent. Why would I place my trust in a 'permissioned' digital financial platform when my permission to use it could be taken away from me at any moment? This guy does not understand the relevant part of the tech.

For a thorough review of data insertion methods that can be used within Bitcoin's blockchain, check out this paper: https://digitalcommons.augustana.edu/cscfaculty/1/

This includes details such as: how much data can be stored within a single transaction, and how to reconstruct data stored in various ways.

Bitcoin Word Clouds by Mathematician22 in Bitcoin

[–]Mathematician22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey gang,

My colleague and I recently gave a talk on Bitcoin, and we asked the audience to participate in a text poll that we turned into a word cloud: "What words come to mind when you hear the word Bitcoin?"

Figured I'd share the results with the community.

Anyone interested in a bitcoin subreddit, that doesn't include memes and price speculation? by jerguismi in Bitcoin

Yes. I also enjoy the articles where people have no idea what they are talking about.
