Given all the drama around Youtubers losing ad revenue and the clear issues with centralization there, I think LBRY is a great platform alternative that has some near-time potential if the issues of the

You doing okay, @erkan? No one sane thinks the price drop has anything to do with you, as the entire market has crashed. I think many of the issues you have brought up recently have been valid questions

When you run it, does it crash or can you just not see the window? If it crashes, do you get an error message? If not, if you open the Task Manager and go to Processes, do you see the program

I agree, for now. What I was trying to say was that I don't think that'll necessarily be the case in the long term. Cryptocurrencies are a broad field, and I believe that BTC is big principally because

I don't completely agree nor do I completely disagree. BTC has the first-mover advantage and the highest visibility, but many (rightfully, I think) argue that its functionality is older and less efficient.

f7+ Kg7 2. Qb7 Rxf7--your queen is hanging after the rook takes the pawn, the black king is safe, and now black has all the opportunities. Try again, from the beginning :)

f7+? Okay, then the king moves up to g7 or slides over to h8. How do you continue the attack?

Good start! Can you figure out what white should play next?

Interesting! I think what's most fun about this position is the move immediately prior to the rook sacrifice, where you played 29. ...g5. This is not exactly bad, but you were I think prioritizing your

Volatility just serves as a convenient, at-a-glance excuse; the real problem is accessibility. It's the difficulty of buying and storing the stuff--unless you're fairly technically savvy, it's not very

No worries on my end! By the way, I saw that on any project page (SETI@home, Milkyway@home etc.) there's a small typo: "Team Members w/ Magntiude" has "Magnitude" misspelled. I just

There's really no forced mate there after 2. Kf1. Maybe you are overlooking something in your own analysis? The queen check on h1 leads to the same sequence of running away. The light-square bishop can't

I was wondering about that! I opened up my stats and my heart skipped a beat when I saw I had a magnitude of 1500. I thought I had stolen some of NeuralMiner's or Vortac's magnitude ;)

Yes, and black should. If the Queen takes the hanging rook, Nb6 and the Queen is attacked and stuck in a funny trap on the a file. The best white can do is take the pawn and be down a bishop.

The most obvious is 1. ...Qxh2+ 2. Kxh2 Ng3+ 3. Kg1 Rh1# But I'm pretty sure this is not a forced mate, because the king doesn't have to take the queen sac. 1. ...Qh2+ 2. Kf1 Ng3+ 3. Ke1 and the king escapes.

Hopefully it stabilizes at a higher floor at least!
