tfw thinking about buying buttcoin and eth
bitcoin is a mess right now
I wish I had my pc still
it broke 1800, fuck
would a gtx 750ti mine much ethereum (I've never used it but I've heard of this, is it an altcoin?)
it's a pretty popular altcoin
transaction fees going through the roof, massive backlog of unconfirmed transaction (been waiting over a day for mine to go through), people spamming the network to fuck shit up, bitcoin core politics, etc
it's a mess
I was going to invest $400 in a split of bitcoin, ethereum, ripple, and litecoin
iirc ETH is the better investment right now
not sure how much in each
is wannacry a reason for some of the mess
ransomware should have been paid in a more meme currency like dogecoin
I remember seeing a shiton of stuff about the whole asic miners like being fucked up where it'd give the chinks some of the coins?
chinks own bitcoin mining now
@Laasti people say it's because of bitcoin core politics
and people are purposely bombing the network with transactions or something
they should've spread the touhou ransomware instead
lol^
but it's pretty controversial
interesting
bitcoin community is split into two camps that hate eate other
I still don't get what's going on
I heard on the radio yesterday the wannacry hackers might possibly be related to the north korean hackers from a while back
because of very similar shoddy code
yeah, saw that on bbc
<:thonk:288060975775612929>
would be pretty crazy if it actually was them
they pretty much owned the world
was it based on the cia stuff that was leaked?
not sure, here's an article
it was real nasty for ransomware
mind you fuck the nhs for continuing to use XP
they had it coming
apparently a google researcher pointed out some of this
tfw my nhs trust got wanncry'd
these similarities
good thing I almost died the week before
also fuck anyone who doesn't update their systems, especially hospitals and banks
