CAGR (finance) explained for musicians... Compound Annual Growth Rate is analogous to the semitone growth through an octave. How... All self-respecting musicians already know that the frequency interval of a note grows by the 12th root of 2, which is 1.059463 (ie each semitone "grows" by 5.9463% from one to the next above). The note above A440 is B flat. That is 440*1.059463=466.16 Hertz. The 12th root of 2 is a number that if you multiply itself 12 times, you get 2. The upper note in an octave is 2x the frequency of the lower note by definition, and there 12 semitone equal increments from the lower note to the upper note). Without getting into "equal" temperament vs "well" temperament (a fascinating side topic), the lower note is increased by 5.9563%, through 12 semitones to the upper note, finally resulting in 2x. The A above A440 is A880. How is this analogous to CAGR? Well, if you started with $1000, and it doubled in 12 years, the CAGR of your investment is worked out the same way, and is the same value of 5.9563%. The growth rate per interval, in this case the interval is a year. I overcomplicated it didn't I? It's OK, musicians will get it no, especially piano turners.

New! I now am building ParmanodL 16TB NAS machines with NextCloud (self-hosted cloud data). What does this mean? Besides running a Bitcoin node, with the 16TB drive, I'm configuring it so you can connect any home computer to it and it works like a drive on your other machine, even if it's Mac or Windows. And with NextCloud, you can have your own personal cloud. You'll have to buy a domain, and I'll help configure the connection. Then from anywhere, you can access your data, like people do with Google Drive - phone, PC, tablet, whatever. Below is a picture of my Mac Desktop with the drive icon to my NAS, and a window open showing how I can explore/copy/paste files. Note that RAID is optional.

ParmanodL™

Did you know you can make a QR code on your computer from the command line fairly easily? Parman's #NerdTips ... Step 1 - Install Parmanode on Mac or Linux (or update to 3.52.1) Step 2 - From the main menu, select "t" for tools, "n" for the next page, then "qr" for the menu (if QRencode isn't installed, Parmanode will do that). Step 3 - Then you'll have a menu. Choose info to see the commands to DIY QR code any text or file, or choose "pub" to get a QR of your computer's SSH public. It's a handy way to extract text from your computer. If you have a ParmAirGap, it will be installed on that to help you get data out; helps minimise connecting USB drives. Later, If I think of useful options for QRs I'll add it, or on request.

Imagine how much more productive Einstein, Tesla, DaVinci, and Beethoven would have been if they had AI. Baffling to me that some people don't even use it several times a day.

Apparently there was a dip

Parman's current philosophy on the birth if Reality. I'm calling it #Parmolosophy... 1) Reality, as opposed to imaginary land, starts with logic (nothing is real if logic doesn't exist, it has to be the base layer). How can something come from nothing? It can't, logic always exists. Proof... "Is it true there is nothing?", "Yes", "Then there is truth, which is not nothing". So, total nothing can't exist, QED (Nothing exists partially, eg in a Liberal's head, but absolute total nothing, absence of reality and logic, can't.) 2) Given logic exists, all mathematics (known to us or not) then just exists arising from logic. No consciousness is required for this. 3) Somehow uncertainty is introduced, which necessitates the existence of spacetime (fundamental nature of universe is demonstrates uncertainty, and if there is no spacetime nothing can be uncertain), then we get from that, all the laws of physics that we know and the ones we still don't know. If God exists, I think he's influence would be at this point, introducing/creating uncertainty and therefore spacetime. 4) From this point we have better understanding, no new insights from me... From physics we get chemistry, from that biology, and from that, consciousness. Can you tell I was trying to sleep?

If I help someone recover bitcoin, withdraw bitcoin from an exchange, decide to buy bitcoin, buy more bitcoin through debunking FUD, decide to not sell, or teach someone to teach someone... It almost feels like I've bought more bitcoin myself, in terms of making a difference to winning.

Arguing that shitcoins area gateway to Bitcoin is like arguing that sexual abuse as a child is a gateway to a loving relationship as an adult.

Bitcoin would be doomed if retards were required to understand it. Luckily, it is inevitable as world money because those that adopt it preserve their wealth (most will be completely retarded), and those that don't lose it (some will be intelligent even), and all that survives is the wealth, ie people with Bitcoin, ie Bitcoin as world money. In other words, Bitcoin relies on humans maintaining a natural instinct to survive. That's certain enough. There are many reasons Bitcoin is inevitable, but don't worry, as I said, you don't have to understand it 😜 - it's OK if you're Lagarded, just buy Bitcoin and don't lose it. It's more fun if you do understand it though, and your allocation will be closer to optimal. #rant over

Your pronouns are what everyone else assumes they are. If everyone is getting it wrong, try harder.

#Beautification

I was driving in my sleep and then I thought to myself I probably shouldn't drive while I sleep, then I realised it's okay, as I'm sleep-driving not drive-sleeping. I was also texting.

Is it just me, or is there at least a whiff of SBF in Saylor's MSTR strategy?

Everyone need s a ParmanodL in their home

VIDEO🎥: Watch me solo mine #Bitcoin on a #ParmanodL, and some show and tell...

Remember to adjust your "I told you so charts" to logarithmic scale. Shits gonna go down.

Ladies, how is your #Bitcoin node running? Do you need helep with a ParmanodL? Let me I helep you

And you sir, are you ready to receive my succulent Chinese dumpling? Happy #CNY 🎉

Instead of checking the price of Bitcoin, I more often now check if I've solo mine jackpotted 🤣
