There is no such thing as a coin that uses AI. Unless they have managed to find a way to add a neural network into a blockchain, which is exceedingly unlikely by the way, then it is just using the term for marketing purposes only. They might as well be classified as memecoins with that sort of name. At least that would reflect the real value of these coins- as speculative profit-making assets only.

I am not a Windows huge fan, but I see that a lot of people are against it. This makes me wonder, when banks operate with huge money and most important other peoples money, why most of banking operators have Windows installed on their working PC. Mostly their software is for Windows. All those managers and those who work with customers, have windows based devices. We, cryptocurrency community, say that Windows is no good if we want to protect our money. But banks used Windows to operate with other peoples money, large amount of money. Dont you find it strange?

Aside from what @NotATether said, i expect their security expert manually configure those windows computer to be more secure. Usually it comes with trade-off, such as slower computer performance or you only can access certain server.

Here is something else I didn't write - the big businesses are not using the "Home" or even the "Pro" versions of Windows, which are full of ads and spyware and other sorts of junk. They use an enterprise version of Windows without all the bloat. And then they usually do a bunch of Group Policies and buy an external firewall/AV to lock down their systems and networks.

Microsoft knows that it is going to lose the enterprise market if those customers get pissed off at the end-user UX, that's why they give them a more bearable (and expensive!) edition of Windows to use.

I do not notice this problem. Can you check other websites and see if they are also slow, jsut to be sure that it's not your ISP causing the slowdown?

It *might* be possible to bypass this by using a VPN. But that only works if the problem is the ISP artificially taking longer to resolve cryptocurrency domain names.

Major update to this case as a BIP (Bitcoin Improvement Proposal) has formally been submitted to the mailing list and the bips Github repository.

https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/pull/1601

The main changes are that there are going to be patches for the Block Storm attack and the Time Warp attack. The Block Storm attack lets people mine a ton of blocks with difficulty 1. It uses the Time Warp attack in conjunction, in order to set the time of successive (instantaneously) mined blocks a little bit into the future.

These changes should mean that there should be plenty of testnet to go around for everyone.

Because the banks never upgrade their software.

They are not even using a new version of Windows. Many use using Windows 7, XP, or even really ancient dinosaur versions made in the past century. Oh and that is without mentioning COBOL and the IBM mainframes.

Their reasoning is that if they upgrade the risk of transactions failing will be way too big. Which makes no sense at all.

This is exactly the kind of corporation that Elon should've barged into and change everything, not social media.

I think it is possible that Bitcoin will reach $80k, but it shouldn't be in the near future. I think it may be in Q4 of this year, the price needs time to increase massively. However, we need to expect that there will be no bad news anymore. If we have bad news, the price may drop again and it will be hard to increase significantly. Yes, I am also optimistic that we will have a big increase again in the new few months.

$70K is the new resistance, so if it manages to break that we should see an avalanche in the price (weird word since the price would actually go up massively).

On the other hand, the support is somewhere around $65K. So if it falls below that then the price will tumble a little but, but not massively - there are still other supports to hang on to.

Something was certainly happening with cryptomixer.io, because on 28.05 they wrote a statement on the site. I searched a bit, but I didn't find anything from the recent past that was related to them.

See, I was pretty sure that they had something shady going on, and I'm also sure that people in the know like icopress can agree with that.

I can't say I am surprised at this.

Although I too do not have any information on what might have happened to this mixer. Maybe they had just went offline like all the other mixers that shut down before them.

I doubt they allow an arrested person to use a smartphone, it could cause someone to delete evidence, don't you think?.

They don't allow a lot of things in prison and people just have a way of bypassing every rule.
I remember last time Roger was in prison he said that he created big network of people and he could get anything he wanted
People are using drugs and phones in prison all the time.

It's very wild:

You actually have to smuggle smartphones inside the prison in order to be able to do stuff like this. Even for learning anything.

It's almost as if the prison system is so outdated and they really want to make it a maximally dark enclave for the inmates as possible.

How is anybody supposed to stay sane in there? They should copy the Nordic countries' prison model (Sweden, Finland, Norway and so on).
