when i get blackpilled; basically means we’re a day or two from a nice rally.
$88, y’all still grumpy ?
Because AL888 has been banned for life and well he was aggravating as H.E. double hockey sticks but well he was like that scab you’ve had for so long that when it goes away you still reach out to scratch it / pick at it.
Since this is the black pill thread. This is not going to happen. and if it does it would require an algo change to make it not really fecking expensive. Something zooko wanted to do before ASIC’s came along.
Also the ASIC’s were a done deal due to them not taking ariel gabizon’s advice on the 2nd of march. (not @ing him so I don’t drag him into this thread) Once they went with Seans advice they were locked into ASIC’s.

Hey,
We can use the zcash companies projections and compare to reality.
To quote you from a different thread.
Just thought about this - $300,000,000 is 10x the amount the zcash co thought they would need.
They sold the initial FR to investors at $15 - so that number is based off their internal calculations as to what they needed to get this all going.
2.1m @ $15 = 31,500,000 v actual cost =~ 300,000,000
That is their valuation of the cost of implementing the first 4 years of zec. - so maybe zooko is right and they should have no part of the financial conversation. It doesn’t seem to be their strength.
EDIT: these numbers are deliberately partially correct yet very mischaracterised for my amusement and to have a little fun with boxalex.
The company has not spent this much money. It’s a mischaracterization.

I know mate, this is the black pill thread. it isn’t meant to be taken seriously which is why I didn’t reply in the original thread from where I took the quote.
In case anyone else missed it, I was deliberately taking numbers out of context to make a doom and gloom forecast. - for my own amusement.
EDIT2: Removed edit 1 because of clarification and I would like to have a conversation about that point, but that is better suited to my initial post in the “open letter to whatshisname” ← fixing this will probably be edit three.

Thanks for the response. I haven’t had time to read everything. I get the intent and not trying to take it seriously, but I’m not a fan of misinformation, and especially at a time when the community is wrestling with the best path forward.

Ah, I get you. Like alerts or whatever when someone posts and you just saw the summary and thought, this bloke is straight up talking shit and spreading misinfo. (which I was, something I haven’t purposely done on here before.)
maybe @kek could change the title to be The black pill thread [may contain mischaracterised info and negative opinions on positive news] - idk im too verbose for titles. This is like a containment thread, like the Too the Moon is a containment thread for overly optimistic positive news. this is just its emo little brother.
Personally though I will clearly mark my posts in future, Id like to be know as reliable and honest. 
- and no need to reply to anything I raise in this thread, I have made the point in another thread, which is for serious debate.

What? Where did you get connection between the NSA and bitfury? Why would bitfury of all people work with the NSA of all agencies?
im not joking I genuinely want to know why you think the NSA is in bed with a private company in a country they don’t even have any allegiance with.
got a link?
I know who the bald bloke is - ive spoken with him before way back in the bitcoin fpga days. I just googled that Mike Rogers guy, Im trying to find out when this image was taken.
to be fair I had to look them up on bitfurys page, only spoken to them via phone/text
- Valerie on the far left (bald and legend) - CEO/Founder bitfury,
- Mike Rogers head bloke for the NSA cyber until 2018,
- Then George Kikvadze bitfury vice chairman,
- Then do you know who the bloke on the far right is?
to me it looks like Vlad Radysh - bitfury government relations director, this seems relevant to the photo… but it might not be him.
You are grey pilling me on bitfury, need more info plz (or pills). It depends when this photo was taken and who that is on the far right of the image. (green tie guy)
edit: just found this guy
Still im grey pilled until that green tie guy turns out to be head of cryptographic security, or similar : )
2015
- director of the national security agency;
not just cyber. make-of-it what you will.

The conference was held, and good news for investors … they are not.
Good article about Libra…
Doesn’t paint a pretty picture but it’s fairly accurate
