Sure, but you cant deny the trend over the last month.
This is a funny timing to see the hash rate increase, i.e. more miner joining in, when the halving is 3 only months away
It's just the latest batch of mining hardware coming online (which is more efficient per watt than the previous generation). Design and manufacturing is highly bursty on Bitcoin difficulty increase time scales.
The hash rate represents the total computational power used by the miners to secure the Bitcoin Network. The more miner, the more secure it is but the less it is profitable for them to mine.
This isn't totally accurate. You need a lot of different miners and a high hash rate for security. The least secure place bitcoin can be is when a single miner controls most of the hash rate.
good point, but a mining monopoly would destroy the value and hence it's in the self-interest of miners to be diversified. that's an economical self-correcting mechanism on top of this technical mining/reward feedback mechanism.
Fat address of 1.3k BTC gets fully spend into a newly created address, also sheds one small amount to a random adress in the process. Frequently recirculated wallet creates artificial volume.
Maybe a strategy to get your transaction noticed by the miners? Maybe a mixer? Who knows?
looking at this stats here might be the wrong approach.
'How to get on the front page of HN?' is basically the same problem as 'How to jump from the 'newest''s section front page to the HN's front page before my post gets replaced by newer posts there?'
To do so, you need to remain long enough on the 'newest''s section front page which happens when there is less 'posting competition'. So if you post around 8-9am EST (see here: [1]), your post will remains longer on the 'newest' front page which gives you more time to gather upvotes. At this time, the competition is such that it is easier to jump on the front page as there are less items posted.
However, this happens right before a lot of traffic pours into the website which ensure you can enjoy a lot of visibility/upvotes once you are on the front page.
>you need to remain long enough on the 'newest''s section front page
Long enough to gather enough upvotes. The number of people upvoting matters, which changes during the day. It might change in direct proportion to the number of people submitting new posts. In that case all times would be equal.
Companies aren't valued on features. They're valued on how much money investors think they can make, which is usually a function of how fast they can acquire users, which is often greatly affected by their execution on simple features.
Not everyone reads like that. A good test to note if people uses pattern recognition is the way they pronounce a character proper noun after reading a book: I never can pronounce a character's name at the end of a book as I have never actually "read" it but only "recognized" it.
I also don't read aloud in my head for the most part. I get caught with this exact problem with character names -- I have to sound it out for the first time when I try to say it.
However, you are making a different point. Anyone who reads 'fluently' recognizes the shapes of words in one glance -- whether he reads aloud in his head or not. No one is looking letter-by-letter.
I know exactly what you mean. More than once I've read the book and on the second-to-last page I've realized that I have been reading (and mentally pronouncing) the name of the protagonist incorrectly.
I have other similar dyslexic traits to the OP. I can read and write well but I can't read out aloud. I don't usually find reading books enjoyable and I need to have code snippets and math formulae to break the wall of text.
But is this really a dyslexic trait? I use this method of reading most of the time by default because it allows me to read much much faster than reading the whole thing out. I often get pissed of at badly written text because of this because it slows me down a lot. For technical text it's often impossible to do this.
