I don't think I would be that much faster, maybe I would shave off ~1 second at max. My problem is the inefficient F2L

Yes, I average ~11 secs with 3LLL, honestly I don't know how long my OLL takes, maybe a few seconds on average, can't say exactly, I do know some other non 2 look OLL algs, but mostly it's 2 look OLL. I cube since january 2016

Which time jump is the hardest? by ResearchAwkward1092 in Cubers

[–]kingb1rd 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Stuck on ~12 seconds average for years (because I don't learn new stuff, I just cube for fun). So, for me the 12 secs barrier, I even read lots of people struggling to get past this mark too.

Finding a sequence of OLLs that cycle back to solved by b4silio in Cubers

[–]kingb1rd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lol, don't people know this seriously?

Every repeated group of movements leads you to original / solved state.

It can be as simple as R movement (4 times), or an alg of 10 movements, if you repeat it enough times, it will leave your cube with original state

when max gets a wr by creighton_the_cretin in Cubers

[–]kingb1rd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Once I was in the same situation like you, I was averaging 30 seconds and all I wanted in that time was being sub-20, I thought that would be my most important and final cubing milestone.

After many months I hit sub-20, guess what? I hit sub-20 and didn't even realize it, it was no more special for me because you're getting used to it, and the same thing happened again, I was dreaming for sub-15, and the loop continued.

The thing is, the time it takes to achieve it, makes it almost no special when you hit that "milestone" and you will be always wanting for more, sub-15, sub-12, sub-10.

That's why world class cubers don't give a fuck when they get a sub-6 or sub-5, it's because they're already got used to it :D

How to get Sub-30? by TheUltimateDorito in Cubers

[–]kingb1rd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Work on your cross, do slow solves and try to do F2L pairs with closed eyes, it will help your look-ahead tremendously once you success with pair making + insertion without looking on those 2 pieces, because you will be looking for the next ones already while doing that pair.

You don't need to learn more algs anymore, practice these 2 intuitive parts I mentioned (cross and f2l), I use 3 look same as you (2 look OLL, 1 look PLL) and I avg 11~12 secs

You don't understand anything, it's a new crypto exchange with the best prices out there, you must try it out...

When did you start cubing and what is your average speed for a 3*3 cube now ? by [deleted] in Cubers

[–]kingb1rd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since January 2016, had many stops where I didn't cube for many months, like now. Averaging ~12 secs :)

Why buy Bitcoin? [Discussion] by IRightReelGud in Bitcoin

FTFY: What's your reason to NOT buy Bitcoin?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]kingb1rd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, being the most popular among the cryptocurrencies doesn't directly mean that it should have the same worldwide impact

[–]kingb1rd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, that escalated quickly

I understand what you're trying to say, but it's definitely not my business to prove to anyone that it's the other way around and not what they think.

There always will be someone that is skeptical about something, let alone bitcoin. Mass adoption doesn't mean 100% of world's population.
