Overfinch used to be run by a guy called Crook. He was a charmless salesman who had me counting my fingers after shaking his hand, and these days they don't add anything except an expensive badge.
But... they used to do real engineering and could transform the old "classic" RR from something you only aimed up the motorway into a quite glorious beast that handled and steered like it really shouldn't have done.
Well suited to old Hendrix/Dylan appreciating V8 lovers.

Re: "Bitcoin won't go up, there is no volume"
The volume shows up when we break ATH.
That's when the magic starts happening.

Theymos boosted my merit power source by %175
I wish he boosted the price of btc by %175 too.

I’ll be looking for some impressive posting to spray my big load over boys. Tired now though, going to bed.

For some reason, I am feeling tired today, too. So many different things happening, even though the bitcoin price has been a little boring in the last few days, and yeah boring is if the BTC price is trending down or flat rather than up. So, at least, we have a little time for resting, if the BTC price is not doing too much.
Regarding recent source merit jugglings, I did find it a little strange that more or less theymos has effectuated a sweeping increase of the issuance of source merits that is largely based on averaging how much source merits have been using their smerit supply in the past six months.
Use it or lose it potential in the way that the change was decided, which also resulted in a strange statistical outcome of a reduction of the number of merit sources from 128 to 98 (not withstanding at least one new merit source, congrats to fillippone) and also a bit of a reduction in the total monthly smerits from a bit under 30k per month to a bit over 20k per month. There still may be some tweaking going on, perhaps? You can see the number of source merits and quantity of monthly smerits here.

Wow, that's very cool. Congratulations!

Well, that's no longer a task of an individual. We'll all (institutional investors + us) boost it together.

more decentralised mining or somesuch thing
actually there seem a lot of improvements, latency improved, empty block mining incentive lowered...

Biggest improvement was to send JSON overboard, imo.
There's some need for standards, of course, but when it comes to performance, proprietary data formats are mandatory.

But the mesh chairs aren't going to be as comfortable as finding a well-designed memory foam chair (if they even exist).
Says the person who -- in the very same sentence -- admits he's never sat in one.
I'm sitting comfortably in the chair you derided, while you're whinging about your chair's lumbar support pain. Observers can draw their own conclusions.
Are you sure it's safe? I threw some memory foam away after reading about the dodgy chemicals in it.
Are you sure you haven't lost the plot? It appears you are asking me? I'm not the one touting memory foam. For reference:

Since you edited out my addressing of this point, let me re-insert it for you:
A penalty transaction has distinct characteristics:
They all:
- are V0_P2WPKH type transactions
- are roughly the same size of 237-238 B, 121 vB, 483-484 WU
- use SegWit addresses
There is a way to filter through transaction data based on this criteria.

LN channel = multisig UTXO.
To change channel balance write new tx spending the UTXO. Both sign but dont broadcast.

Still absofuckinglutely irrelevant. Congratulations.
How is filtering transaction data irrelevant to the identification of penalty claims?
You keep trying to harp on penalty claims, when over and over again I point out that penalty claims are not the exclusive means for losing funds in LN. Ergo, irrelevant.
In case you missed it, another possibility is that penalty txs were never issued. For the THIRD FUCKING TIME, dickwad.
So far none of the 400 nodes connected to him reported receiving any funds.
Hmm. None of the 400 unjustly-enriched parties reported unjust enrichment. Whodathunkit?
Or, perhaps its because they never received jack shit. Not ONE in 400 nodes is honest enough to report receiving more funds than they should have? Just think about it for a moment before responding.
If his counterparties were on the beneficial side of a stale closing tx, what is their incentive to issue a penalty? They stand to win more through just letting the mistaken stale tx broadcasts lie as is. Seems we need to at least consider that possibility before closing the case. As at least one scenario.

Do you deny that it is possible?
It is possible that not one of 400 nodes would have received "unjustified enrichment" without reporting it
Exactly. Thank you. In other words, it is possible that he/she did NOT 'make the whole thing up'.
Trying to get to the bottom of what happened requires actual evidence, not hearsay and supposition.
You again edited out the link I provided to a discussion on the LN GitHub about the issue which as far as I can tell is comprised of the first and foremost members of the relevant COMMUNITY:
https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/issues/2468
A couple of the "experts" indirectly referenced in the Bitcoinist article have been posting in that GitHub thread. That's why its not hearsay.

Your third link was a news blurb containing allegations, totally devoid of links to evidence. It was -- again definitively -- hearsay.
First of all, this isn't a courtroom. Second, the title of the article is "4 BITCOIN ‘LOSS’ ON LIGHTNING NETWORK IS FUD, SAYS COMMUNITY" --- the whole premise of the article is based on second-hand information. Third, the article does contain links to evidence, which contain links to more evidence.
- Bitcoinist article contains this paragraph:
OK I'm making a concession that he may have lost a maximum of 0.1 BTC (though its still more likely he lost nothing), but it still seems like it was all to make a bullshit point about "the dangers of Lightning." Making a concession is hardly "moving the goalposts."
I was originally stressing that his claims of losing 4 BTC were bullshit.
I was originally stressing that his claims of losing 4 BTC were bullshit.
No, you jumped down my throat for merely asking to see some actual evidence supporting the claim that the entire incident was not made up from whole cloth. From 'case closed, he made the whole thing up' to 'I think he's exaggerating' is the motherfuckin canonical example of moving the goalposts.
Stop being such a baby. If suggesting you verify information for yourself is the same thing as "jumping down your throat" then you're not cut out to talk on an internet forum and should probably go join a sewing circle.
Go fuck yourself twice. I'm just fine on these here innerwebs. But you don't get to move the goalposts without me calling you on it.
Go fuck yourself. You're the one trying to twist things around to make it appear that you said something other than that which you did.
No, I didn't. I admitted that I changed my stance from "he's a liar" to "he may have accidentally fucked up."
IOW, you moved the goddamned goalposts. Man up / woman up and admit it.

I still maintain that nowhere near 4 BTC was lost. Sounds like he lost nothing.
Maybe, maybe not. Still waiting on evidence.....
For the record, I'm ambivalent on the matter. I don't know, (and I don't much care) whether or not the described event occurred as described (although I know it to be possible within the design of LN, which may or may not give the passerby pause). But I am not willing to propagate hearsay as fact -- something which you are demonstrably altogether happy to do.

In view of the uncertain and unsafe traffic conditions for travelling to [...], we are suspending classes on the Main Campus for the rest of the semester and making teaching and learning accessible online. This will enable students to stay away from campus, and even leave Hong Kong should they wish, while at the same time completing their courses and assessments.
Individual instructors will upload to Moodle detailed arrangements for course delivery and assessment. Examinations will be moved online or replaced by alternative forms of assessment. Details will be circulated in the next few days.
For help with travel arrangements out of Hong Kong, non-local students are advised to contact either the China Affairs Office or the International Affairs Office.
