Many errors and single thread?
Hi, anyone using NiceHash Miner v1.7.5.1 for mining? I'm new to this. Why I get these errors and why miner only use one thread? My processor is i5-3210M 4 threads. My friend use i5-4210U 4 threads and his miner use all of his threads. Are there any reasons became like that?

Hi, is it still profitable (possible to pay off the initial cost of equipment + make some returns later) to mine with free electricity and pretty good free internet? Thank you all in advance.

Cross-chain replays may be one of the biggest problem of potential contentious fork. It's surprising people mostly ignore this problem.
Ethereum split into ETC and ETH demonstrated that cross-chain transaction replay becomes a major problem if not planned for. Transaction created on one chain could be replayed on the other chain, moving both types of coins, perhaps contrary to the user’s intention.
Unfortunately, this problems does not receive adequate attention when people are discussing non-consensus fork of Bitcoin chain. Imagine that as a result of fork, you got both BTC (core bitcoins) and BTU (unlimited bitcoins) on the same addresses. Now, you want to pay for something with BTC — but to your surprise, the same amount of BTU is also moving to the seller’s address, even though they were not supposed to. Another example, you don’t believe in BTU value and want to get rid of them in OTC transaction. You get the payment and transfer your BTU to the buyer. What the hell?! Your precious BTC from the same address are now gone as well! What’s the deal with that?!
Imagine the confusion among Bitcoin users that may follow and the damage to user confidence and willingness to transact on-chain just this single problem could do. Unlike Ethereum, where the replay problem was mostly dealt with via splitter contracts, Bitcoin does not have adequate scripting capabilities. The only practical way to mitigate the issue would be mixing the legacy coins with post-fork mined coins of different flavors (either BTC or BTU). Which is well beyond the abilities of casual Bitcoin user.

Banks! Bitcoin is the technology behind Blockchain. Simon Dixon explains.
If the COIN ETF is approved, how long before it actually begins trading?
Seems like there would be a great buying opportunity on current exchanges before more money starts flowing in via the ETF if there's a gap between the approval announcement and actual start of trading of the ETF. Obviously the price will go up on the announcement but not as much as once the fund starts trading. Anyone know the details?

The Bitcoin Dream Is The Same Dream As The Psychedelic Dream
I just realized that people who preach bitcoin thinks that it could save the World, just as people who are passionated about psychedelics think that LSD, shrooms, DMT and ayahuasca could save the world.
Maybe we are the same community? Maybe we are two different communities that help each other get what we want, and we want the same.
What ever it is, i think that all of us interested in bitcoin should also get involved in the psychedelic community, and vice versa.
Maybe LSD is the LSD of the 60ies, and the internet is the LSD og the 90ies, but bitcoin is the LSD of today. Maybe every generation will make a "LSD"? I think we could learn from eachother, and help eachother to reach the goal.
Strength in numbers. Peace, love and understanding.

what is a bearwhale?
What exactly would be the negatives with a 2Mb + 17% per year increase to blocksize that activates on Bitcoin's 10th birthday if 95% consensus is achieved?
I'm not really against a HF that has widespread support and after extensive reading I honestly think this proposal would be pretty safe. And I don't mean this as an "appease the other side" option either. I actually just think this is a good idea and HFs only worry me in a contentious environment, if it can gain wide support then I'm on board.
This proposal suggests nothing that assumes unlimited resource availability, or that a hard fork is not a risk. In the meantime we would have another year+ to activate SegWit and implement many other scaling solutions as well as allowing technology/bandwidth/resource costs to continue to decline before implementation. It would give everyone ample time for preparation, and if 95% wasn't achieved, then business as usual and we have far less to worry about when it comes to some terribly incentivized system like BU.
Summary: I prefer Soft forks as the more conservative option, but I don't see any significant downside to a long-term scheduled hard fork that doesn't drastically shift Bitcoin game theory into ridiculously untested waters like BU.
