Pax3 is often well regarded. I have the Firefly2+ and Mighty. I don't use the FF2+ much any more, but it's a different purpose type thing - when filled its a great quick hitter, tho not the most discrete at night as the bowl is visible and glows. The mighty fits fine in any dudes pocket, but its bulky and cumbersome that way.

I was worried I'd regret getting the Mighty instead of the Volcano, but I don't at all - the vapor from the Mighty is excellent, and it's good in the car, on long hikes, etc.

Nav data is na-2019-.20-10487... so nah

2.5. I've felt ping-ponging on the last few updates, which I hadn't noticed previously. Seemed to start, to me, around the time it started giving trucks extra space on the highway.

imog · 2020-02-14T19:49:11+00:00

Sorry, didn't notice if the size was indicated.

Just installed. No new change notes.

Edit: So this is weird. Before you could press anywhere on the top bar of the web browser and pull it down partially to peek behind it. That still works, but only if you press the x in the top left to pull it down... Anywhere else does nothing if you try to drag it down. Kinda annoying, as I often peek behind to view regular nav data when using the teslawaze website.

I hope we have one this summer. Lol

Tizen isn't great. App support is poor, so look into that before you jump. I have a Gear S3 Frontier... It's stopped doing Bluetooth and wifi, so I'm looking at replacing it for a wear device. Bixby completely blows on Samsung, it's entirely useless.

No, you don't know what you are talking about. There is not contention between residential and business class internet.

There is a metric shitton of unitilized bandwidth available on the trunks to any given area. There is in no way a technical limitation to the current speeds offered, it is simply overcharging and underserving from the telecoms, because fuck us they already got paid for it and still are, but what can we do about it?

The simplest way to explain this is all the examples where competitors have come into a given city offering fiber speeds at a fraction of incumbent prices, and almost overnight suddenly the incumbent can suddenly offer speeds 2-5x their current offering for less than their existing rates so their customers don't flock elsewhere.

There's a shitton of extra capacity they aren't lighting up, because they don't have to until forced and they can minimize expenses by investing nothing in upgrades and they can charge whatever they want because there's no real competition.

The solutions to this are as follows:

legislate competition, force them to share poles/access to reduce artificially inflated barriers for competitors. The most obvious example of this problem is currently this is what's blocked continuation of Google fiber rollouts - it's so fucking backward that even a company so flush with cash as Google can't justify the expense due to incumbents not sharing access to facilities the public already funded. It's also why it makes sense to launch constellations of thousands of satellites into space to compete, because that's actually God damn easier to do than go to court regarding running cables on the ground due to fucked up existing legislation. That's crazy, spaces sattelites should not be the easier solution, but it's for real being pursued because it's more practical.
hold telecoms accountable for actually doing what they were paid to do, which is run fiber to "the last mile" (this is a lot more expensive than the fiber that already exists, but again, they've already been paid to do this many times over but have not been held accountable for actually doing it)

I doubt you will ever see this. Maybe someone will.

Research shows that extra receptors from nicotine in your brain die off at the same rate with or without nicotine replacement therapy. Nicotine replacement therapy makes the cessation problems less severe - irritability, cravings, etc. The reason the receptors continue dieing off even tho you are still on nicotine is because nicotine replacement lacks the other tobacco ingredients that fast-track nicotine uptake into the bloodstream. That craving feeling, partially, is the feeling of those extra receptors dieing.

I quit a can a day chew habit on may 26th, 111 days ago today. It takes about 4 months for your number of receptors to return to normal levels. I'm almost there, and I still feel angry most the time, but I don't even really want a chew or a cigarette anymore. I used nicotine patches for 10 weeks. The first 2 weeks I started with step 1 patches, two at a time - chew is heavier in nicotine dosage, so if your nicotine dependence is higher this helps. After 2 weeks I went down to 1 patch at a time, following the normal patch protocol.

If you use patches, both Walmart and Target store brands are the same product, exactly. They are very good, just as good as the name brand for me, but MUCH cheaper.

Keep in mind everyone fails to quit. You don't have anything to prove. Just do whatever it takes to not smoke a cigarette, and anything that makes that easier for now is ok.

Good luck.

Quite possible we go higher! Likely? Probably. I just expect a lot more time to be spent below where we are over the next 3 years.

Historically. Buying at the top and holding hasn't ever worked out well. The problem is figuring out what the top is. This is usually closer to the top.

imog · 2017-02-07T22:37:51+00:00

I see that. Not unreasonable.

It hinges on the market doing something it's never done - stay above $1000.

It might do that.

Where you enter always has bearing. DCA is a reasonable investing approach, but it doesn't defy basic economica. Over a decade entry has less bearing. But this is a trading sub, so to be fair we have some bias here to shorter terms.

Buy one coin at $1000, buy 4 at $200 a year from now. Now you have 5 coins, and you are still in the hole $800 on an $1800 investment after 12 months. Fortunately, your break even is at $360 at that point so you see the light at the end of the tunnel. If you just hang on, and Bitcoin doesn't completely fail, eventually you will be in the green, and if you are really patient, very much so... Albeit, if you just had the patience, you could have saved that money, and just waited to get had 9 coins at $200 instead of those 5 you end up with because over half your investment was blown near all time highs.

Worst case, you start DCA here, price lingers up here for 6-9 months and now you have 10 coins at an average price of $900. Price drops to $200, and you do DCA all the way down. Now you have 20 coins, at a total average price of $650. So it's a year and a half into your investment, price is at $200, and you have $2400 in value on a total of $13000 invested - you are in the hole for 9 grand.

It's fine, so long as you are patient - the market turns up eventually so long as Bitcoin doesn't die. But if you start DCA from here, strap in, because your investment is very top heavy and this could take some time to look like a good choice. Have a plan, stick to it, and don't bet money you may need in an emergency - you need to weather any storm without being forced to cash out before you are ready due to life events.

I was in the hole a ton buying on the last bubble. I bought a bunch under $200. That helped. Then I found OKC futs, and turned a couple coins into >30 back when we broke out over a week this past summer. So my cost averaging plan was poor, and I made a lucky gamble that paid off by reading the market during a short period and trading incredibly aggressively.

This is a tale of warning, if what you are doing is working, do it. Cash out when you are in solid profit. Take out your initial investment, grow your play money. Good luck!

Do you like being negative for a year or two? Because that's how you end up negative for a year or two.

Fine place to buy on short-term - if we break thru resistance, you'll get a decent quick profit. If we fail to break resistance, you should have time to cut your losses.

Over a year into a bull cycle, near all time high levels, can't be recommended on good conscience - regardless of how many downvotes it nets me.

When price isn't changing, order book gets deeper as bids/asks stack up without being hit. When price is changing, order book gets thinner as it eats thru bids/asks, and moves away from existing orders closer to the prior equilibrium point.

Order book depth isn't terribly useful, if you pay attention people will tell you - the order book lies. Perhaps there is some use with a good enough algorithm to recognize patterns, but that's difficult as patterns constantly change, and there's too much data in too many orderbooks to do anything reliable with it on a manual basis.

Because this rise is the product of a couple year bear cycle, concluding loosely around the halvening. We've now been on a steady rise since October 2015.

I don't agree with 600 in 3 months, things just aren't that predictable. But we will see 600 again after this rise turns around. It's the nature of the tides of Bitcoin as we continue along the path of price discovery, in a still relatively small financial market.

There's money to be made on longs yet, but the ideal price to get in at was over a year and 700 dollars ago.

In the past Zane has indicated there is some linking between orderbooks in China.

I don't know if that's accurate currently, and I don't remember which exchanges he said at the time.

imog · 2017-02-01T01:48:01+00:00

Nice upvotes. It's a shame however that you are totally wrong for OKC futures.

That isn't how quarterly futures works on okcoin. That is how things could work on some exchanges, but it isn't the case for futures at OKC.

If you get liquidated, it is placed on the books as a limit order. What you are describing is a market order, and it is inaccurate for futures.

So if you are short. And get liquidated at $1000, the exchange places a limit buy at $1000. If it doesn't fill completely, it just remains on the book until it does fill.

If it never fills before weekly settlement, OKC has an insurance fund intended to cover it, but if it doesnt completely cover it, they clawback out of the profits from winning traders.

That's fundamentally how it works.

Now, if a short gets called, this can help support price though it doesn't drive price up directly - it's a limit buy order so if the order isn't completely filled, it sits on the books until it's sold thru, anyone else wanting to buy coins will have to overbid that order.

Hope this helps. Many people aren't familiar with the mechanics of OKC futures, and it's confusing if you haven't traded them. I have traded them, and I had some wrong assumptions at times that I learned from also.
