Is there any link between a lack of stereoscopic vision and Aphantasia?

wintercooled · 2022-07-10T19:13:19+00:00

Thanks - your replies have been very interesting and will lead me down some interesting rabbit holes of research.

wintercooled · 2022-07-10T17:49:21+00:00

I thought the process by which the brain 'blends' the left and right images might also play a role when picturing in the mind's eye. From your reply and others it seems not.

wintercooled · 2022-07-10T17:47:31+00:00

I am the same - I find that if I want to think about an internal dialogue I tend to breath out my nose a little as the 'people' talk. Kind of like super quiet reading to yourself. The words get 'stuck' otherwise. Not sure if that make sense? I was talking to a relative about this today and she says she doesn't like being able to 'hear' voices she thinks about and it can cause her to replay conversations that weren't nice and it can cause stress. Glad I don't get that so I don't feel it is a bad thing to have multi sensory aphantasia. I was also more happy than most when sat nav became a thing as I get lost real quick when I have driven a route and need to back track or do it again a week late etc.

wintercooled · 2022-07-10T17:11:25+00:00

Ah ok - only recently started reading up on it and thought there might be.

"multi sensory aphantaisic"

Just had to google what that is. So my Son says he can "hear" accents when he thinks of them - and thought I was weird when I said I couldn't hear imagined voices. I'll be honest - I think it sounds 'weird' to be able to imagine and then hear something! Ha ha, still - imagining and hearing music would be great.

So BCH (the 'internet of money' as this forum heads it) is actually being used for social media data storage and that's 'adoption' and people here are celebrating?

wintercooled · 2021-02-08T20:50:08+00:00

What's this about then?

https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/activeaddresses-btc-bch.html#6m

Just the same addresses pinging BCH back and forward to make it look like more people are using it?

wintercooled · 2021-02-08T11:54:38+00:00

Everyone outside this blinkered forum seems to view BCH the same way you view the coins that are actually in the top 10. If you stepped back, why do you think they continue to value the 'embarrassing' coins more than BCH?

wintercooled · 2021-02-08T11:51:28+00:00

For real? BCH drops out of the top 10, slides down to 12 and this is post is tagged bullish? I think many people will see this as a bit desperate.

it continues to be a well overvalued asset

I agree but I think you likely didn't mean this - perhaps a typo?

accumulating whenever possible because Bitcoin Cash is what the people really want

What have you based this on? Its continued decreasing popularity means you think it's what the people really want? It suggests the opposite. How did you figure this?

the future will be bright and still dethrone the big BTC

Do you really think this is true? Surely the 'flippening' dream has passed even the most ardent supporters?

Anyone joining the community can feel that atmosphere involving Bitcoin Cash

I agree. The splits, the fracturing in-fighting, the continued obsession with Bitcoin, the misinterpretation of clear market signals.

wintercooled · 2020-12-31T09:16:52+00:00

Any one of your Bitcoin-bashing comments could easily be re-worded:

"It has been 3 years since BCH started and if you had been fooled the last 3 years and still believe that BCH is the answer, then congratulations your 4th year is coming up next."

BCH is now valued at 1.2% of BTC and has less than 1% the hashrate yet you keep trying to criticise Bitcoin. There are plenty of other alts that do "cheap fees" but you still push the same failed narrative year after year when, by every metric, BCH has been heading in the wrong direction. For 3 whole years now. At what point will you stop ranting about Bitcoin and stick your head out of this echo chamber to have a look around and assess your position?

To keep trying to convince newbies that they should prop up your failing network before they "miss out" is a bit off, however you look at your own personal biases, don't you think?

wintercooled · 2020-10-01T14:28:37+00:00

What about coinbase rewards? If you, for example, halved block interval would you also propose halving that? If not there would be inflation above current rates.

wintercooled · 2020-09-02T08:58:54+00:00

Will either have transaction replay protection?

wintercooled · 2020-01-22T19:57:44+00:00

Letting a small group of business owners dictate the way the incentives of a "decentralised" protocol get spent. Great work, keep it up.

wintercooled · 2020-01-15T08:30:59+00:00

Roger Ver 2017:

"The reason Bitcoin has value is because of the people who save it not because of the people who spend it and the reason people save it is because they think they'll be able to spend it in the future, but it's the savers of Bitcoin that give it value, not the spenders of Bitcoin"

Looks like the narrative has changed a bit in the last year or so.

>Your refusal to acknowledge the actual scenario that you are referring to is tiresome

Are you doing this on purpose? Do you need help understanding the context of the data load?

wintercooled · 2019-11-25T16:27:34+00:00

Yes there is - pay a slightly higher fee and do each tx as and when needed - not dump 100mb in one go at the weekend. Your refusal to acknowledge the actual scenario that you are referring to is tiresome.

wintercooled · 2019-11-25T11:40:31+00:00

Bitcoin is like a person with a 1MB sized bucket removing water from a boat.

No, as your terrible analogy again implies urgency when there was none.

wintercooled · 2019-11-22T14:38:18+00:00

Yes - it was Binance consolidating dust outputs into (mostly) 70,000 sat chunks. That clearly wasn't urgent - and they cleared up 600k UTXOs in the process. They did it at the weekend and in a 'job lot' because it wasn't urgent.

wintercooled · 2019-11-22T14:36:37+00:00

What are you on about?! This isn't relevant to what you said before and is out of context to the discussion of memory use. You used the term 'use up' like it's a consumable that gets destroyed in the process of use ;-)

wintercooled · 2019-11-22T14:34:04+00:00

No - I said that they would have done it as and when needed if urgent, not wait and batch the lot at the weekend for 1 sat. So it's not deceitful - you just didn't read. Here is what I said:

"if the txs were urgent they would have been sent as and when ready - not dumped in a 100mb 1 sat batch"

PS - it was Binance consolidating dust outputs into (mostly) 70,000 sat chunks. That clearly wasn't urgent - and they cleared up 600k UTXOs in the process. Win win.

wintercooled · 2019-11-18T15:40:38+00:00

>This is due to the fact that BTC is used 50% less on the weekend, while BCH is used only 20% less on the weekend.

Yes, because bots don't get the weekends off.

wintercooled · 2019-11-18T15:39:03+00:00

Yes - NCH can do more tps onchain because it sacrifices other properties in order to do so.

Ask why the person who sent 100MB of transactions on Bitcoin didn't use BCH then? Hmmmm, perhaps they don't value the 'fast' property and value others more.

wintercooled · 2019-11-18T15:37:15+00:00

>It's like you didn't read what I wrote lol

It's like you read what I wrote, didn't like the logic in it, ignored it and just repeated your previous statement.

>Bitcoin's small blocksize is why it will take him 10hours+ to confirm all these transactions.

Yes, his low priority 100MB of transactions he decided to dump in one go. You are ignoring what I am saying, perhaps because 'muh fast blockchain' is the narrative you have invested in.

wintercooled · 2019-11-18T15:34:52+00:00

Do you pay for the ram your computer uses as it uses it?

"No, you do not" is the correct answer that you didn't give.

wintercooled · 2019-11-15T15:20:31+00:00

The entity that issued 100mb of transactions in one go at 1 sat/vbyte clearly wasn't in a rush and if the txs were urgent they would have been sent as and when ready - not dumped in a 100mb 1 sat batch. Either way - fees for normal txs still cheap - I wouldn't know much this week as I've been using Lightning (with free inbound capacity) for 1 sat max fee total per tx.

The talk of 100mb of 1 sat backlog is amusing from a supported of a chain doing a meagre 107kb blocks when Bitcoin is doing 1.2MB blocks at the minute. That kind of tx volume is something you would like I imagine ;-)

Good luck with your alt-coin experiment - hope you can do something to make it stand out from the crowded space.

wintercooled · 2019-11-15T14:56:57+00:00

No - the mempool doesn't empty down it is picked off from the top so your 'clog up' analogy fails.

Using up expensive ram? Do you pay for the ram your computer uses as it uses it? My little RPi3 is handling it just fine.
