Honestly, as much as I like planB, I am much more eager to see how S2F plays out first, forget about that wicked S2FX for a while.
First things first.

Important Clarifications by PlanB

Civilisation.exe is not responding, would you like to end this process?

Because ETH is just a huge convoluted pulsating attack surface.

Amen. I was aware early how much of a performance bottleneck storage was.

Remember the Gigabyte iRAM PCI card (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-RAM) proto-SSD? It was a little too pricey and way too small for me. Also it was VRAM.

At that time I dreamed of flash memory fast enough, capacious enough and cheap enough to boot from but it wasn't until a couple of years later that I got my first Memoright (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memoright) 32GB SLC IDE (PATA) SSD. WinXP booted up really fast.

By the time IBM and OCZ bought out their first consumer/retail SSDs, I was an old hand, an avid poster on the OCX SSD forums and hanging off every new advance in wear-leveling, controller parallelism and garbage collection.

My big breakthrough was acquiring 4 original 120GB Vertex SSDs to put in RAID-0. What a disappointment to run the benchmarks and find out the array had been bottlenecked by the southbridge. Bummer. I bought an expensive PCIe RAID card and after an agonizing driver ordeal, I finally booted from an array with gigabyte/sec sequential transfers and ludicrous (I forget the actual numbers now) 4k random reads and writes.

Then I moved up to OCZ PCIe Revo Drives 1, 2, and finally 3, which is in my i7-2600k system. That's all obsolete now, of course. My current laptop uses M2 NVMe.

Gotta move with the times.

Imagine if crypto as a whole had a centralized leadership. We would be paying to bail them out.

This is an interesting wee tale.

The theory is that hackers have control of an exchange's coins but can only move them to whitelisted addresses they don't control. They're putting humongous fees on top and demanding payoffs from the exchange to stop it.

Why is it ALWAYS ETH where the sketchiest shit happens?

What a complete cum-dumpster. Ah well, lawyers can say anything, I'd say drop this in the trash.

To be honest I still use an IBM X61 Thinkpad with a 2ghz Core Duo processor as a working laptop. Thing is well over 10 years old, and with 8gb of memory and a SSD drive it's still just fine for most work. SSDs were probably the biggest performance boost in the last 10 years, spinning drives just suck.

Naah. America isn't a totalitarian dictatorship that tolerates no dissent.

Bigger reason is Trump does not have a Praetorian guard. I think the only people he can really command would be the TSA and the other flunkies in Homeland Security. That's not much of a problem.

Good afternoon Bitcoinland.

Still bouncing in the mid-$9xxx range... currently $9479USD/$12866CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Definitely boring.


I was going through a bankruptcy when I needed to update my old Pentium 100MHz Win95 machine with 8MB EDO memory.

I bought the cheapest socket-7 mobo that supported  both EDO and SDRAM since I couldn't afford to upgrade everything at once. so I started with the mainboard. I bought a brand spanking new Shuttle HOT-591P Super-7 mobo (https://www.anandtech.com/show/134) with all the latest connectivity, even a newfangled AGP slot. It was a fraction of the price of anything comparable.

Next came the SDRAM (a whopping 32MB!) and then eventually a shiny new 400MHz AMD K6-2. I was in heaven. My new machine screamed.
Gradually I increased the amount of RAM to the maximum the VIA MVP3 chipset would support... 256MB.

One day a friend came over and angrily asked why my el cheapo AMD K6-2/400 was so much faster than his brand new expensive PentiumIII/600. I asked him how much memory he had. Seems he had the 64MB it came with. Nothing like undue pagefiling to slow a system down.

Years later I went through the same thing with SSDs. People were spending money upgrading their CPUs when they weren't what was bottlenecking their systems.

I'm still using my ancient Core i-7 2600k system until it doesn't do what I need. After that it's Ryzen all the way.

Rome had over a million people near the end. A year later it was down to 40k.

This is just the beginning. It will get much worse.

1) Storing the keys for the encrypted file also on the network.
2) Why even bother to write that the attacker deleted the files from the network? no backups?

So it's going to be the scene of a massacre?

I'll leave that to the liposuction clinic that will go broke on the billion dollar bills caused by the future costs of my waste body fat disposal

EDIT:
@Bitcoin: Established intermediate support (after corona dip) becoming resistance?

Well this is hilarious I must admit but what I actually meant was his resemblance to Masterluc during his years of bloom when his predictions were mostly correct.   

I am pretty sure that his sell price was around $4,500-ish.  Anyone free to correct me on this, and maybe mindrust can clarify, if it may be helpful to be somewhat factually correct.

We should not be asserting that he sold at the extreme of the bottom when it was 10% or 15% or so higher than the bottom... still not a good position to be in, but does not match with actual facts including how much worse it would be to have sold at the extreme bottom.. which I know does happen from time to time, too.


Yeah.... sue them because you unintentionally got fat, too.   

 

What kind of fail is this. Did the company sign the letter?

You are right for comedy surely we need few lawyers as well.
