I got a oximeter among other things to check some health stats. Altho it is not a toy it was kind of fun to hold my breath and watch the oxygen level plummet.

But something unexpected happened. My pulse dropped to around 30 which is half of what a resting pulse rate should be. I didnt notice this when holding my breath in the past. And i didnt feel different except for the slight uncomfort of holding my breath.

But it was scary watching my pulse drop so low and not immediately going up again after breathing. Thats all. Have a nice day.

Also i am really bored i guess

The dollar will be king until the US defaults, which could happen as soon as next year. But this "crisis" could cause all kinds of financial regulation that will effectively kill bitcoin.

Does this mean you should sell bitcoin? Probably not. But you should not be like Michael Saylor either?

Is anyone using Keet? I wanted to look at setting up an IRC style btc-hacker room, but couldn't find if persistent rooms were implemented yet.

Kinda surprised I don't see more people using it.

The Lounge is the best modern IRC client that I've seen.

It keeps you connected to any rooms while you are offline.

If you are looking for a server, InspIRCd is great

Will we see 1000 sat / vByte fees next cycle?

Let's say within the next 4 years. Could be an interesting bet @ekzyis (I vote yes)

What is your exact definition of "seeing 1k sat/vB"?

Because if we're talking about max fee rate in a block, that already happened.

You mean high priority fee on mempool.space > 1k sat/vB? But that is also a wonky definition since it's hard to proof. And mempools are unique per node.

I think defining block parameters is a good way to bet on mempool stuff. For example, we could say: "Will we see a block with a 1k sat/vB median fee rate within the next 4 years?"

21 sats \ 0 replies \ @orthwyrm 18 Dec 2023

Hmm yes, good points.

It might be better expressed as total fees for a block (for example > 10 BTC), and you'd have to do it across some span of time in case there's an odd software bug (I think recently someone accidently set a +90 BTC fee).

Perhaps something like this: Within the next 4 years, there will be an 8 hour period where every block mined will have +10 BTC fee revenue.

Good morning everyone! Monday has arrived and the week has begun, last week for Christmas shopping, yikes, it will be brutal out there so stay safe and don't let anyone with negative thoughts, actions or attitude bother you, I read a quote the other day and wanted to share it with you: "You can't change the people around you but you can change the people around you" let that gem sink in. Amazing one and so true, surround yourself with people with the same mentality as yours, positive thinkers, people who want to go above and beyond, visionaries, people who want to be better. Those are the people who are worth having around you. You are important my friend and I believe in you, you are successful, you are awesome and you are appreciated. So let's go out there and show this week who's boss and kick some rear, I wish you all an incredible week, may it be filled with success and lots of love, joy and profit. Thank you for being and be well and stay frosty my good friend.

The US dropped it's reserve requirements a few years ago. I don't think they still hold onto 10%.

I think I've read that somewhere. That's crazy, if true. Saving money in a piggybank seems less riskier than leaving your money in a bank. We are living in unprecedented times.

WTF !

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Federal Reserve reduced the reserve requirement ratio to zero across all deposit tiers, effective March 26, 2020. The aim of this reduction was to jump-start the economy by allowing banks to use additional liquidity to lend to individuals and businesses.
