do you mean a single of the operations that bitcoin miners do a bazillion times per second

someone already did that (kinda), came up with 0.67 hashes per day

what it would take to find a valid block at a certain difficulty is left as an exercise for the reader

mark continues to do nothing wrong

other fun bits from that thread: there is no identifiable cold wallet, QuadrigaCX may have held less bitcoins than they reported, and was using deposits from customers to pay for withdrawals from others. frankly im shocked

crypto job update:

I probably did more for this company stupid company than any other. then they royally hosed me in really the most inhumane way.

near the end of this ordeal I was so stressed I couldn't eat properly, could not finish even a soup or salad. I became increasingly convinced I had an ulcer and when I said I needed to fly home to see my doctor they ignored me and asked me to work on-site even longer.

unfortunately I don't want to share more details than that because I'm determined to sue them and don't want to dox myself. they broke at least 3 employment laws, all of which resulted in them not paying me enough. I'm sure they'll make an offer to avoid court, because what crypto company wants discovery to happen. then again, these people are profoundly stupid. I basically expected every day that one of the managers was going to walk in and do exactly what they said they wouldn't the day before.

if anyone wants details, maybe I can share privately. especially if you know legal things or have a not-insane job offer.

EDIT: also lol at Quadriga which is happening in my home city.

“If somebody’s listening, please, I just — somebody showed up right after we finished eating, and they shot John and Henza, and I was in the house, and John’s dead at the gate,” Forester wailed in video she posted on social media. She begged, “Somebody please come.”

if only there were some service that was tasked with responding to these kinds of incidents quickly and handling them before you get murdered, oh well back to begging on social media for someone to come and beat up the people murdering me

That’s when they fled, heading first to California and then down to Mexico. “Neither of us could afford to pay all of the money to bribe the judges,” Forester said. “Our only defense was to leave.”

They crossed the border with $50 in cash. Once in Acapulco, they found odd jobs in the tourism industry, while also amassing followings on Steemit, a blogging and social networking site. Forester built a business blowing glass into pipes. Among their projects were organizing “Meat Ups,” which advocated a carnivorous diet, and creating “an uncensorable Wikipedia.”
