mircea_popescu: specifically to get your two years interdiction, usg needs to control 99.999
% of the network, and admitting half an exahash was legit that requires they get a further 50 or so yotahashes. and that nobody else does anything.
mircea_popescu: to obtain similar performance to wires in this respect [delay only, not in all the others, you still get bitcoin, rather than usg-fiat moved around] you need a 0.2
%ish of the network.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform specifically : to guarantee your transactions are on average included the same day, you need control over ~0.5
% of the network.

%. <<
mircea_popescu: anyone wanna do it ? you need a few k sq ft of warehouse, somewhere where it's cheap (michigan ?), a coupla packaging machines, a plastic printer and a few workers, no prior skills required that's it. 50k for advertising 50k for the gear gets you wll going. buy the nuts in bulk for cents, sell the packs for dollars, you're looking at 99

% dedicated to labels. so... he put bitcoin "into singapore".
mircea_popescu: this country is roughly in the situation of the us cca 1815, with one major difference : buenos aires is their new york, yes, the port. but in argentina, 20 of 40 mn live in the port. that's half. in the us, less than 5

punkman: "We implement segregated witness right now, soon. What we do is discount the witness data by 75
% for block size. So this enables us to say we allow 4x as many signatures in the chain. What this normally corresponds to, with a difficult transaction load, this is around 75
% capacity increase for transactions that choose to use it. Another way of looking at it, is that we raise the block size

ben_vulpes: rates in ars are only ~20
% below those in michigan, and that doesn't even start to include cost of doing business with argentines.

% discount on giftcards? How can one take good advantage of the offer?

% of english speaking canada can pretend to

% of output in 1962 and peaked at 25
%—in 1981. By 2011, the share was closer to 18
%. Factory activity in fast-modernizing Ethiopia hasn’t managed to grow beyond 6
% of the economy. In Tanzania, it peaked at 13
% in 1976 and dropped since to around 10
%."

% Glyphosate as the concentrate. Works for most of a year after application.
