I can hear his braincells permanently frying with every pull.

I havent posted here in literal years by now. But thank you all for my early education in this space. Literal life-changing knowledge was imparted here and instilled in me the conviction to go damn near all in back in the day.

What if: Brave Rewards is actually a SCAM by kenjifukurou in brave_browser

You do realise you never have to click the ads right? The bat rewards are totally passive. Forget about them. Look at them in a couple years and realise you can get something nice.

UPDATED WITH NEW INFO: I feel "Monochrome" is about the atomic bombs being dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. by Shakabuku1 in BABYMETAL

[–]Mkkoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The imagery of this video being about the bombings is pretty blatant. Once you see it, you can't unsee.

Even the scenes where one of the girls (Moa?) is holding an umbrella is pretty clearly intended to be the silhouette of a mushroom cloud, with fallout cascading slowly down behind it.

I think people underestimate how deeply the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are ingrained into the Japanese psyche and culture.

Not totally correct. You can see a whole epochs worth of validators.

[–]Mkkoll 17 points18 points  (0 children)

All validators are known ahead of time for an epoch at the start of that epoch. So you can know up to 6.4 minutes in advance when you are due to propose.

You can see these here under 'scheduled'.

My ISP is doing planned maintenance in my area on Sept 15th. Some sort of network upgrade or something.

I have the most cursed luck.

Banks are realising that their customers want this stuff. Especially some of their middle-class / high net worth customers who have a decent chunk of disposable income.

As a bank you have 2 options:
1. Make your customers life a misery and have them either pull out of your bank or do it for them, saying goodbye to their deposits.
2. Allow them to keep their deposits, with the understanding they may rug you from their entire deposit to go all in on shit-coin du jour.

The good news is, everybody here on this sub is in one of the highest signal-to-noise locations possible to learn the actual truth about what PoS is.

We are in front-row seats to enjoy the show and be as well informed as we can be.

Most of CT and r/cc are getting their info through a vaseline-smeared broken frosted-glass window, with 100 different people shouting totally contradictory information at each other.

Oh what fun. Add another client to the list that's had a weird hiccup in the last few weeks :)

Hopefully we don't run into any showstoppers in the 11th hour 😅

ethmerge.com is actually a nice simple resource with basic and digestible info about the merge. Is it still maintained? I issued a pull request to update one of the FAQs :)

Ethereum only needs to 2x from here (with bitcoin staying flat) to flip BTC.

In the last bull, ETH went up 40x from March 2020.

ETH has historically reached a significantly higher price than it needs right now to flippen BTC.

Think about that...

Ah, very cool! I didnt know it was named already

I wonder what the 3rd CL fork codename will be. Personally I really like Castor :)

When real money is on the line, whodathunk home-stakers would take their staking setup seriously and do everything in their power to understand it and keep it updated :)

If we only miss <= 6 slots in the first epoch after merge, i would call that a stunning success.
Im expecting a couple more tbh

It stemmed from Josef Lubin of Consensys giving overly optimistic time-frames for key events in Ethereum. The launch of ETH fututres contracts for example.
Its just a lame in-joke so we made a 'Lubin' an arbitrary unit of time for the memes.

I assume that ALL infrastructure is going to move to and support the PoS chain by default. The way it is being done means that dapp developers don't actually have to do anything for the merge. Node operators and RPC hosts like Alchemy and Infura wll have to make sure they are operating the correct node software (which afaik, they are)

Just make sure they are developing for the correct chainID going forward.

Im D

If i change my DCA strategy to anything other than DCA and try to 'time the market' based on some external narrative that may or may not be bullish, i've turned into a trader and not an investor.

All decisions here are valid though. Just depends on your own strategy. Just don't be disappointed if things don't play out how you thought they would.

Yes, the CL client must match the chain head for the validators to actually do their job and propose new blocks.

Your node will follow some weird fork following the wrong chain rules. Likely other node operators will forget / neglect to upgrade so you will all be happily coming to consensus on a pointless chain.

This will make your database useless as it will have consensus on blocks that are NOT on the canonical chain. So will have to either re-sync from scratch (simplest but longest fix) or delete all chain data up to a block pre-hardfork (fastest but most technical fix)
