Compiled vanitygen on my Raspberry Pi to generate myself an LTC address: LScottJCSQXkTJ4KRwZZkbC1HCSvN21e4H. It took ten minutes using 2 cores at 35,000 keys/second.
I tried creating a similar BTC vanity address, but the estimated time was 3.5 days. ARM v7 has 4 tiny cores and RPI has no GPU.
So I turned to @awscloud EC2's spot market and followed instructions by @0daywork 0day.work/using-an-aws-g…
For a few dollars, I rented an EC2 instance g3.8xlarge with 2 @nvidia GPU's aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-…
Each GPU has 1000x the hashing power of my Raspberry Pi's CPU
Less than an hour later, I have the keys to the vanity BTC address 1Scottu5rUaX8fsnBjXqJtC5pcmddHk7d

When I applied for my first passport, it was in the last-kick-of-dying-horse's days of the Moi Way. Foolishly, or naively, I didn't have the cash in hand to "buy" the "free" application form. I was sent from one desk to the next in search of a "spare" one. One was never found.
But I was mulishly persistent, and consistent, since I didn't have much else to de for the three weeks - all 21 days - that I went back again and again and again until, to get rid of me, they simply handed over a stack of them - just in case I fcked one over when filling it in.
Everything in-between seemed to go well. Recommenders? That's why one has godfathers. Guarantors? Yep! Godfathers again. ID photocopies? The parental units were feeling pretty swell I hadn't dragged their names in the mud - yet. But getting the passport was a whole 'nother thang.

#BTC update - similar to previous cycles, #Bitcoin closed below the logarithmic regression trendline this week reaching towards the lower band. In addition, long-term monthly returns remain in negative territory. 1/
From a historical perspective, #BTC should find intermediate support at these levels. The strength of the upcoming bounce will provide more insight. From a weekly POV, the lower confidence band is steadily rising. Note that so far price has never closed below these bands. 2/
Admittedly, #BTC hit 4800 almost two months faster than previously forecasted and hit the bottom of the current proportional cycle in a hurry. Unfortunately, on a relative basis, on chain transaction volume is weaker than typically witnessed during previous trend changes.

Idée reçue : "la durée de vie d'un piéton sur la bande d'arrêt d'urgence c'est 20 minutes" (toujours "selon des études", ou "selon des estimations". C'est faux. Archi-faux, même. Thread. #Autoroute #Piétons 1/10
Chiffres approximatifs : le nombre total annuel de tués sur les routes, c'est 3500. Sur autoroute : 200 personnes. Le nombre de piétons tués sur l'autoroute : 25 par an. #Autoroute #Piétons 2/10
Sur ces 25 piétons tués sur l'autoroute, 17 sont tués sur les voies de circulation. 8 le sont sur la bande d'arrêt d'urgence. #Autoroute #Piétons 3/10

HISTORY -- With Nzekwe Gerald Uchenna

ECHOS FROM THE HELL OF THE BLACK RACE :

Gory Stories about the Inhuman Treatment meted on African Slaves by the White Masters,during and After the Atlantic Slave Trade, can never be exhausted.

I want to Share two with us...
1. OTA BENGA (Exhibited as a Money)

On 20 March,1916, a 32year-old African man named Ota Benga shot himself in the heart while being held against his will in the United States.
Ota Benga’s short,Sad life was shaped by colonial avarice justified by the quack science of eugenics.
Through it all, he did what he could to keep his dignity intact despite being subjected to the most degrading treatment imaginable. His story, like far too many tragedies, begins in the Congo, then known as the Congo Free State.

1/ For a demo yesterday I tokenized a security using the Bitcoin blockchain on live video.

It took 10 minutes using a web browser, a pen and $10.

This token security is legal, complies with SEC regulations, is recognized by Delaware and represents a real operating business.
2/ For this demo I used the simplest method I could:

- company with one shareholder
- simple Counterparty token (a protocol using the Bitcoin network) to create asset A1514842398425338000
- corp resolution to recognize tokens as shares
- SEC exemption under section 4(a)(2)
3/ The purpose of this demo was to again show that legal, “real”, compliant securities can be tokenized on a blockchain.

This can work on a larger scale - Overstock, public company issued a tokenized security in 2016 (I am on the board of Medici which is owned by OSTK)

Full detailed description of first and third laws of Wyckoff (supply & demand and effort vs. result)

Wyckoff update
...wait...wyckOFF...bognanOFF...smth
Completed Wyckoff structure. Looks scary similar.
p.s. this model was designed almost a century ago, people didn't have calculators and were drawing charts by hand using pencil and ruler.
