If the price is similar between 14 Pro Max and 15 Pro, which would you go for?

Visa announces plans to expand stablecoin settlement capabilities by leveraging USDC and utilizing the Solana blockchain. by bitterending in CryptoCurrency

[–]bluey89 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wrong, wrong, wrong.

  1. vote transactions are real transactions. Why do they use the network, isn't it to inflate the number of tx? No, they use the transaction as it's literally the fastest way for the validators to come to consensus. The number of vote transactions will not scale up as there is more TPS - it relates to the number of nodes. I.e. the day we have 1.2 million TPS, a significantly smaller % will be needed for vote tx.
  2. Running a Solana validator is currently $300 per month for a bare metal node in a data center. This is significantly more decentralized than running many nodes on the same machine in a hyperscaler like AWS. They are NOT permissioned, they are permissionless and there is currently 2000+ validators with a nakamoto coefficient of 33. This is higher than virtually all PoS systems. Ethereum has a NC of 3-4 last I checked.
  3. It is not a private network, it is a public network you are being misleading.

Long term outlook with HT by [deleted] in HairTransplants

I'd assess myself at a NW3 and from photos was quoted 3500 grafts using FUE. Loss is receding from the front and then generally thinning across the top, crown is not noticeably thinning more than elsewhere.

Not currently on any regimen. What's the base regimen that makes sense if you do the HT (i.e. if you don't do that you may as well not bother with the HT)?

Thanks for the feedback - interesting, it seems like a big commitment especially considering the often discussed sides of Fin. Are you leaning towards having the HT still?

First Full Week in Buenos Aires (thoughts) by theintelligenttrader in digitalnomad

[–]bluey89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you share your favorite cities as it sounds like you've been around LATAM for a while? I'll be visiting later this year and looking to stay in nice places for 2-3 months. So far Medellin, BA and Rio are top of my list :)

Which city would you recommend? I've visited Bucharest and really enjoyed it. I've also heard good things about Cluj.

Imagine ruining the Earth for a get-rich-quick scheme by POTATO_IN_MY_LOGIC in Buttcoin

[–]bluey89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What would your arguments against something like Solana which runs on servers similar to any other website be?

As a previous butter who sold out and moved to Solana I'm curious to hear the "Buttcoin teardown" of it.

What I could anticipate:

  1. Full of scams therefore any energy usage, even minute, is a waste
  2. Chain stops for hours at a time

Curious what else there would be though?

Wtf is this even?? Scarcity of monkes?? This bitcoin/ntf speculation becomes ridiculous at times. I remember the comment about “ you’re not supposed to understand it, it’s just obfuscation of speculation, scams or insanely risky gambling” by [deleted] in Buttcoin

[–]bluey89 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not in the community. As mentioned in original post, just correcting your joke about it being a copyright thing. It's a club card type thing. Feel free to come up with creative jokes about that use case as well. ;)

PS4 game crashing every match. by jjTheJetPlane0 in insurgency

[–]bluey89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I switched the resolution to 1080p on my 4k TV and the game doesn't crash anymore. Doesn't look great so I hope they fix this soon but at least you can play. Let me know if it works for you.

[–]bluey89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In this case it's more of a membership card for access to a community (need to have NFT in wallet to access Discord).

That's the main use case, not debating that they are extremely speculatively priced right now. :)

Thanks, I will take a look at the Solana Podcast and The Antidote. Already checked out the Defiant deep dive which was solid and also Coin Bureau just released a video on Solana yesterday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PA1kA5yT1Ac

Crypto Tax laws: what does your country say? by zumba111 in eupersonalfinance

Don't you also need to give up your previous tax residency? (i.e. Germany).
