It is not static, not is rsticker. It’s a small LED monitor that resembles sticker. The monitor is connected by cable to the register, and when the cashier enters the amount, a barcode along with the total amount SATS to be paid appears on the LED screen
Anyway sir, here's how to tell your LED sign is a quality sign, sir. You can see that we use quality LEDs that won't catch fire, sir, with great construction quality, sir. And sir, please note the wonderful orange color, sir.
Oooooo the BTC tube is very interesting! Is it actually a Nixie tube or LED filament?
I should probably get out of the house today and be productive. I need to find some earbuds for work too (hoping to find a good / cheap pair for around $100) so i can listen to music since I can't use my kawaii LED cute gaming cat ears since they're too big
Same here—I switched all the lightbulbs in my apartment to CFL and LED. But when I step outside, I see every empty room on every empty floor of the skyscrapers still lit up.
This is exactly it, there are winter tyres and summer tyres but they are all fundamentally wheels on a car. You can have flavours per say but the fundamental invention is not created just like the lightbulb vs a LED modern bulb
Love it-is that print on acrylic of some sort? It would make a cool sign with programmable color changing LED’s
They crowdfunded advertisement for WIF on a sphere-shaped LED in Vegas back in early 2024. They kept delaying it. I guess lots of people are asking the Sphere directly and they made an announcement that they don't accept crypto ads that's not BTC or established CEX.

I also drive Corolla, but this is kind of luxury for me? Alomst new Hybrid 2022, LED headlamps, radar tempomat... But I have also 2016 kitchen and 1/3 BTC.
that watch is ugly as hell, LED screen ass watch, no style there unless you're a boomer
We only have LED's everywhere because of government intervention.
>lightbulbs are a famous example LED lightbulbs last much longer than other types. LEDs can last years.
This data is beyond cherry picked. The house in the meme isn't using "traditional incandescent" lights. These light shows are LED RGB pixels that are always providing different colors. They are only using electricity when they are on and if they are only using the most power when running white (mixture of all RGB colors). I run a 2,000 light show at xmas and also have a 70" P10 LED panel and my electricity bill only goes up $30 for the entire 6 weeks im running the show (7 days a week from 5-10PM)
1) Any local business uses more electricity than 24,000 LED pixels running a seasonal light show ever will. 2) I worked for a small retail bank that had its server infrastructure powered on 24x7x365 which was a waste of electricity as it didnt do anything but keep the servers and PCs running when no one was there.
My point is that this comparison doesn’t even make sense, and neither is your statement. Yes, BTC mining electrical impact is over exaggerated,~~ but the 24k led house news article is not comparable.~~ Micro/mini LEDs, which most Christmas decorations use, use very little power compared to normal screens and incandescent bulbs If the lights are mini LED, they would use ~1.7kw And now as I did the math, I realize the post is correct. Most bitcoin mining rigs use less than half the wattage (~500w for an average one) If these are incandescent lights then the power draw is 5 times more
With modern LED technology that entire house probably uses less electricity than a laptop
Gonna have to check that price action out on my old TI-30 LED calculator
Hey LED - Autopilot targets the largest LPing addressable markets, which are dominated by stable pools with correlated pairs, for LPs seeking exposure to ETH or USD pools. Given that these pools have correlated pairs, impermanent loss is minimal. Nonetheless, should ETH LSTs/LRTs start trading at a persistent discount (e.g., due to an unprecedented slashing event), Autopilot will trim these positions. When LPs opt into an Autopool, assets can be autonomously rebalanced across the selection of pools the Autopool is configured with. This implies that users may be exposed to the underlying destinations. Measures are in place to address exploit scenarios according to their severity, including the ability to shut down destinations and signal to the solver (the system component responsible for proposing rebalances) that assets need to be rebalanced out of the affected destination.
It had me fr because I just redid my RGB set up to match my new LED panels 😭😭😭
Some might argue Bitcoin is already obsolete, and has been since at least 2016. As obsolete as incandescent light bulbs. Why... The key function performed by Bitcoin is TRUST AUTOMATION. It performs this via a Byzantine fault tolerant protocol. But having seen Bitcoin prove it possible, other platforms have emerged which deliver that function in a more secure, scalable, efficient, useful manner. Would you still buy an incandescent light bulb when a more efficient LED would do the job at east as well? Remember, almost all the money inserted to the Bitcoin network, leaves to pay power bills. So far, not quite all so the price rises while power companies syphon most the network value. But if the rate of buying slows, then the power companies win all value. And remember, because it doesn't scale, it limits access to the next block by operating a fee auction. More modern platforms don't need to be bounded to handle high loads. Bitcoin fees have no limit, buying or selling. Bitcoin finality is probabilistic not deterministic. So no number of confirmations can quite reach 100% finality. Bitcoin has middle men (block producers). who can cherry pick and are coerced to censor transactions. All this has been made unnecessary, long ago. But, Bitcoin is Bitcoin...

About the same as your wifi router. Or half the power of your electric shaver, or half of a regular LED light bulb.
Well said. I think there is a fundamental tribalism at play as well. The left media constantly frames crypto as dangerous, only used by criminals, and a huge waste of energy. This resonates with people who think that turning off a 10watt LED light bulb in their house makes a difference. You will never hear MSNBC talk about fractional reserve banking, and the inflation that it demands from the FED. If BTC mining was presented as data centers securing BTC without the need of a single tank, missile, or aircraft carrier to secure it, the left might have a more open view of it. People really don't understand the idea that anything can be secure through decentralization as everything in their life is centralized from their bank to their electricity. It's like trying to explain the theory of relativity to someone that's illiterate. The rampant number of shit coins definitely doesn't help. When Warren rightfully spells out there is zero consumer protection and plenty of predatory practices, it makes people afraid to even educate themselves on what self custody is. I tried to walk a friend through setting up a coinbase account and wallet, but they were so afraid of losing a penny they would rather get their 7% return that is reliable than even consider self custody of BTC.
Not really. The lightbulb got replaced multiple times, we're currently using LED. Bitcoin isn't just a coin. It's a protocol to build on, like the TCP/IP. That's why electricity, not a lightbulb.
EV is to ICE what Bitcoin is to Fiat and what LED is to Candles
They have em at a couple gas stations where I live. One of em even says "buy Bitcoin here" outside on the LED board along with other advertisements.

Yeah i think im going to need more than that to convince the gentleman that invented see through LED screens….
People were worried a few years ago. “Oh gaaaawd, China is scanning people’s irises and using it for surveillance, ohhhhhh George Orwell was right”. Mfs are now voluntarily handing their biometrics in a place that looks like a comic-con stand and resting on a rug-pull that has 1% circulating supply. I wouldn’t be surprised if the “scanner” was a cheap LED flashing.
Hahaha! I need LED lights is all lmao
Although this is security theory, there are LOTS of caveats. You don't need to assume that your hardware wallet is compromised if it has an LED display. It requires the LED be unfiltered and that the camera be VERY close (few feet) with crazy high resolution.
With rolling shutter on an iPhone information can be compromised by the LED light that comes on when data is being transmitted.
Some of these attack vectors are just absurd.. While you do any computation (like generate a seed phrase) the electrical consumption of your machine changes very slightly, and with the proper equipment someone can middle-man your home power connection to sniff this data out and regenerate the same data.. Like, what?! That's what happened in the OP with the Android and iPhone. The iPhone took a super-slow motion video of the Android's LED and was able to 'decrypt' its changes in power output well enough to regenerate the same key. I'm nobody so this is just a research topic to me, even in an AI future their costs aren't worth my potential profits. But imagine being somebody where thousands of people have this motive over you, terrifying!! Putin's *Parkinson's disease* could be just him trying to throw the trail (by doing lots of random motions), at least that's how he'd have to behave if he doesn't want someone to keylog him by *recording his sound waves*. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempest_(codename)
tldr; Researchers from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Israel have used an iPhone 13 Pro Max to steal a cryptographic key from a Samsung Galaxy S8 smartphone. The researchers used video-based cryptanalysis to recover secret keys from a device by analyzing video footage of a device’s power LED. The cryptographic computations performed by the CPU change the power consumption of the device which affects the brightness of the device’s power LED. Video footage of a full-frame power LED is shot, and the camera’s rolling shutter is then used to increase the sampling rate to 60,000 measurements per second in the case of the iPhone 13 Pro Max. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.*
Don't panic. * The camera must be within 6ft or the lights must be off * The camera must include highspeed rolling shutter * The LED must correlate to power consumption I mean all really cool stuff, but it's not like someone is going to hack your ring doorbell and get an image through your window reflecting off the car in your driveway of your hardware wallet. You really need a VERY specific set of hardware and luck, as an attacker, to pull this off. If it keeps you up at night, put tape over the LEDs and leave the lights on.
Ah ha! I will defeat this by placing sticky tape over the LED
studying the pattern of the LED lights to figure out what exactly it's doing, that's where it starts
Yep. And in the early days, nobody used fax machines either. Or the Internet. Bicycles were pretty slow to take off. The government initially had to beg people to install solar panels. LED lightbulbs had been around for years before mass adoption. Nobody bought a Van Gogh during the poor man's lifetime. Once upon a time you could buy Action comics #1 for 2 cents, or a house in New York for a few hundred dollars. The present is not necessarily a good guide to the future. As far as I can tell, a lot of us are here for the future. Did you give the award to yourself?
He bought the "Daylight" LED bulbs because he thought "Yea, I want bright lightbulbs." What he actually bought was the parking lot lights you see at Wal-Mart. They're harsh, so white they look a bit blue, and make you look gross and sickly. "Warm" light bulbs are for living spaces. "Daylight" bulbs are for storage, clinical, and sometimes work spaces.

No shit, if you flash a bad firmware on your own device it can be compromised... This is why you check the signature and hash of the firmware before flashing (and the devices/updaters often check the signature of the firmware too and flashes a LED/displays a message if the firmware is dubious). This is also why you make sure the device is sealed when you receive it, because you don't want it to have been subject to a supply chain attack altering the software/hardware. None of this is new, this is part of the security/trust model of hardware wallets and it has always been. Contrary to what you suggest, most people are fine using hardware wallets and would be completely UNABLE to maintain the airgap necessary to secure private keys while generating AND using them. Your advice *could* apply to tech savvy people, not to common folks, but even then I've witnessed multiple times people overestimating their ability to do it and turning what they thought was their DYI wallet into a hot-wallet, or worse generate private keys that were not random enough. There is a huge difference between the previous Ledger security/trust model where your seed, encrypted or not, never traveled over Internet to be stored on Ledger servers. So yes, if you use this feature you increase the surface for attacks against your seed, and yes the fact theses feature exist in the firmware also increase the attack surface against the firmware/software. Furthermore if you use this feature, Ledger now needs to identify you and store your identity on theri servers (they require a government ID document) and their process to check your ID is highly subject to attacks too (camera verification... in the age of live deeepfakes video AND audio ???? it's just non-sense). So yes, stay away from companies which try to change the security/trust model like this, there are alternatives which have plenty of security checks that will avoid you unknowingly running bad firmware and have taken the pledge to NEVER store your seed or collect/store your ID (longer than necessary for the purchase to be legally complete). These are actual "cold" storage without caveat.
I recently acquired my general ham license. While radio waves are energy, how would you power an LED flashlight with a radio antenna? Why aren't we powering everything with radio antennas? This is why we aren't using radios to mine Bitcoin. The electricity required to make the radio wave is more efficient energy than the wave the energy propagated. Sending Bitcoin over radio is possible, but without encryption, there is no expectation of privacy.
8 years ago I built a large smiley face LED face on the roof of my house (which was on a hill where planes flew over ) and people could pay Bitcoin to turn it on for a certain amount of time (based on how much they paid). It was fun but fees killed it. Now I can do it again.
The way technology is going you'll be steeping out to stare at grass on a LED display.
Nice to hear your constructive criticism. Let me address some of them from my perspective. >There's an entire layer of what I consider to be bullshit talk (the technology, saving the world from banks, fair economy and so on), while everyone's motivation is actually to get rich from trading in the next bull run. Crypto started definitely with the focus on the former. It was a way for technies to find a way to avoid the systemic problems created by overly fragile financial system (e.g. due to Fractional reserve banking) and the inflation and power politics induced money printing. It was kind of luck, that it actually became.so popular. I knew about bitcoin and Blockchains since 2013 - but didn't invest because I saw the tech, I liked it, but said "yeah, it's going to fail. It's just s neat project which won't take over the world." But yeah, I was proven wrong. Yes, over the time much more people have come, who're in for the money. But I argue, that the core values of crypto make this possible in the first place. The core values of Crypto make bitcoin/ethereum etc. much more different than investing into an single stock or so. And your argument about the bull run can also be applied to the stock market and all kinds of investments. Stocks have companies baking them, but they don't "create any new money". All profits you get are by someone else who buys when you're selling. And they buy, because they want to hold it for a few years and sell it - then the stock is perceived as more valuable and sold at a higher price to the next buyer. And so on. This whole dynamic of "DCA in and sell higher later" applies to stocks, ETFs, crypto all equally. And all of them have some level of inherent value. For crpyto for instance, there are enough examples of ppl making good international p2p payments. There are examples of people being able to work on jobs which are culturally not accepted, but which aren't harmful. (Ask sex workers about how fed up they're on the stereotypes.) >In addition, while the crypto part is ok, the currency aspect is inherently failed because the incentive mechanisms reward every use case other than being a cheap, safe medium of exchange. In general, as the mcap increases the volatility will also decrease. At the same time, there are many interesting stablecoins approaches on the ethereum network: DAI, MAI, RAI, USDC/USDT, LUSD. Of all of these, Rai is an outlier, because it's stable but NOT pegged to the USD. Then there is also the LED: liquid energy dollar. >Add to this that the environment is heavily popilated by scams and grifters, and you get why one tends to accept Bill Gates' "greater fool" theory regarding crypto. To some extent this is a consequence of the Decentralisation & permissionlessness value. If you stick to basic rules such as going to official projects websites and being suspicious of high earnings etc. then one is often fine. The thing is, that the self-custody and self-empowerment in crypto has its costs. And the costs are higher self responsibility. In tradfi, you never keep your assets in your custody. It's the responsibility of the banks to keep you money and regulations and insurances cover the rest (for which you pay via taxes and bank fees). In crypto, you don't pay for that, but you need to get some practice and security hygiene. Over the time this will get easier - but atm it's still nerve wracking for some people. Also, people need to learn to be self responsible more with Crypto than with tradfi. This is a genuine tradeoff. Feel free to respond and counterargument. I'd like to hear and get educated from good points as well. :)

Anything with a red LED is suspicious. Trust nothing. I reckon even my kettle is plotting something.
I will buy another LED Screen for watching more charts and on the edge of excitement always.
Where's an LED panel van when you need one?
There is something called delaying gratification. And, if you think a room with LED lights make you happy, then I’m happy for you.
It’s too bad you couldn’t change the colors to reflect the market today is a red market so it will be a red LED light and when it’s green and pumping should’ve been a green LED light
I actually used to be a video and LED wall tech as well as a stage lighting designer and board op, and surprise! They don’t get paid fuck all. Dancers got paid more than I did. :/
Imagine the candlemaker positioning themself at the forefront of the LED business, though. Supporting the legacy stuff during the transition, but also working forward the future. Credit card companies will die, while Block thrives. A deflationary currency will change the way we view revenue and growth.
fluorescent bulbs had more adoption than LED at one point. It doesn't make fluorescent more efficient or better.

More power for the same utility "making our lives better" is simply wasteful. Just like LED lightbulbs. Are you really saying incandescent lights made our lives better because they were wasteful?
It's a cryptotag HODL light, I demo it here https://youtu.be/n_24Xq4lCN4 Also comes with a networked LED controller that needs to be on your network and have an app on your phone... (But can be swapped for something more secure)

I would rather add $5 and get this: https://www.amazon.com/CASIO-STANDARD-DIGITAL-LED-LIGHT-F-91W-1JF/dp/B00FLMCJMY I have two.
Thought it was those LED lights.. live and learn.
They're just YouTube monetizers that are emptily echoing roadmap info, giving prices that are publicly available, and making up outlandish predictions. I never understood how someone could show their face and sellout like that. No one should take financial advice from anyone with LED lights in their video background.
I don't get the narrative. Heat is waste. Aren't future ASICS going to be less wasteful then nowadays (more Hashes with less energy usage/less heat)?? Just like the transition from light bulbs to LED (same light with less energy/heat) Yes I understand that as long as we have waste we should try to get some use out of that waste, but the narrative seems to be that the heat is a feature. An electric space heater is cheaper to buy and more more economical to run if heating is what you want, no?
One of the LED lights in my house went bust n I had to call my electrician to replace it. While talking, he told me that he had gone over to my ex-colleague’s house the other day. I had recommended my electrician to her while we were working together. This little episode reminded me of how I love to connect random people together - and I look forward to doing the same here in 2023
>a QR code available directly on the hardware wallet is really Maybe cheaper to produce than LED?
It feels like needless shoehorning of a new technology into somring that doesn't need it. Like adding LED lights to a banana.
They " have to" replace all of the LED display along with the screen because " samsung makes them". Its bullshit and I absolutely agree with you.
Your argument stands on nothing. Arbitrarily wasting energy is a waste of energy. Hashing something until it fulfills a requirement doesn't provide any actual value, especially considering we have other consensus mechanisms that solve the same problem. It is hard to even draw an apt analogy because of how wasteful PoW is. It's like you're saying that the we shouldn't use CFL or LED lightbulbs and must only use halogen because without spending a lot of energy the quality of the light will somehow be worse.
I think your claim is very subjective. Not only is the interface pretty shitty, they're both pieces of plastic with LED screens. But since we're comparing, how about functionality? The Ledger's buttons are still absolute trash despite being on the market for 7 years. Trezor's buttons are fine. ColdCard had button problems initially but fixed them. Why is Ledger dragging their feet? And what about all those Ledger Nano X's that got permanently bricked because Ledger pushed a faulty firmware update? Literally hundreds, if not thousands of devices ruined due to the company's fuckup. And let's not forget how the company got their entire customer database compromised, so hackers suddenly had access to millions of verified cryptocurrency owners that they could then target for malware, phishing, or even home invasions. Very cool stuff, Ledger! But hey, at least the piece of plastic is aesthetically pleasing.
I’m an artist…I make art. I didn’t make the LED ticker I bought it online. Would be a question for the people who made the ticker.
What code are you using to run the RGB LED matrix?
I can't post the link because the AutoModerator removed my posting. The display without the frame can be found by searching for 'Cryptocurrency Coin Stocks Price Ticker RGB Matrix WiFi LED Display'. I know someone who has one on their desk. I wish I had money for something like that.
Did you DIY your LED panel ticker? If so pls share :)
You need to bring a magnifying glass with an LED light on it. And I am NOT joking. They are COUNTING on people to be lazy or lazy minded. Give yourself some extra time and make sure to have internet access so you can Duck Duck Go anything you cmdint understand. I IMPLORE you, this trick is as old as time and it's incumbent upon you to NOT allow this sleazy loophole in common human decency to be used on you be amoral pigs who worship money.
I cook from scratch. Just need eggs, flour, garlic, onions, maybe some mushrooms and milk. Or curries, big pot of paste and I just need a tin of coconut milk. I eat pretty well and spend about 5 bucks a day. Also no take out coffee, I brew it myself. Now I wouldn't advise an espresso machine to save money hehe but a pour over or so. I never buy any food or drink out, I bring it along from home. A sandwhich is crazy expensive. Also not much meat. Maybe once or twice a week, mostly protein shakes since I work manual labour. And do everything DIY. Unless it's really something that needs a pro buy parts and learn how to fix it yourself. Cheap phone plan, mediocre Internet and no cable and not much heat, I like it cool anyway and I can wear a sweater or have a comforter on the couch. LED bulbs and not too high wattage saves a bunch on electricity too. Long way of saying I'm a cheap bastard and I'd rather invest the little I have than live in unnecessary comfort. I do have a fairly large apartment but pretty far out of the city so it costs me less than my old tiny hole in the city center. Just question every expense. Is it necessary? Can it be done cheap, second hand, DIY etc... also no car but not everywhere is set up for that. Especially America you just need a car most places and that's just a giant money sink and ongoing expense that only gets worse year by year unless you spend a lot to have 2-3 years of quiet before it starts again. If I had a car it would be a Toyota that refuses to die. It's just transport. No need to have a vehicle that looks good or can perform more than bare requirements.

You get the practical level of how cooking works. You've seen it done, tried it. People might not know how TLS works but they can login to assbook and their bank's website. People drive without understanding pistons and valves and torque converters. LCD, LED, OLED, QLED? Don't know; just watchin the game on the big screen. Chemical effects of Aleve on the body? Meh, it makes the headaches go away. Microwave heats up food.. something about some kinda waves maybe? Batteries in phones will charge for pennies worth of electricity and work for most of the day - probably magic. Lots of things in the world can be usable without in depth understanding of them.
LOL, for accuracy, this should probably be someone in a short sleeved button down in a dark basement somewhere with LED glow reflecting in his glasses. But the sweaty painting works too I suppose

There was a video making the rounds on twitter in the last week of a lightning transaction turning on a small LED diode. If anyone has a link to it can you post or DM me? Thx.
Wel, yes you are right. LED is ofcourse less energy consuming, still not all lights have been replaced by this. The point I tried to make is that Bitcoin is useful, christmas lights (after opening hours) at shopping malls and centers, are not. Therefore, people have to start changing their perspective sometimes!
Thanks! Christmas lights, utilising LED, are really low energy these days. Sounds more like a token gesture / signalling than anything else. ...or they're just lazy/cheap and don't want to spend time putting them up
Oh, it is certainly relevant when people come and claim how bad it is with energy. Just highlighting the the current system is worse makes total sense! What I mean though is simply described with this analogy: To save energy, replacing an old fashioned light bulb with a regular energy saving bulb is good. But replacing it with an super efficient LED is much better.
LED lights use 99% less energy? And we are talking about something crucial like securing billions of dollars worth. Not lightning a room.
Yeap. It could happen to any device. The LED just stopped working efficient to a point that I could not tell what was on the screen of my Ledger. In the end, i cannot see anything on the screen and therefore, had to recover my wallet with a new hardware wallet.
lol 10 electronics each using about 2500w? i think you overestimate how efficient LED's and PC's have gotten
I turned the LED lights in my room to red so I can feel the red months on a deeper level
It turned out the plastic boxes were empty just a tiny blinking green LED inside to fool you into thinking it was real and on. I figured it out when the battery died.
> "ETH uses 0.1% as much energy as BTC" is a very simple message that simple people can internalize. And they'll still think it's stupid and dumb and a waste. "0.1% too much". > dryers aren't a mere luxury Lol yes they are. There's countries where they are super prevalent and they aren't 3rd world countries (Japan) and people aren't dying in the streets or having their life destroyed because of it. They just hang their clothes out to dry and everything is fine and dandy. Global financial services >>>> "I don't wanna wait a few hours for clothes to dry" yet it's crypto that's the real threat. > Christmas lights don't consume that much energy) They do. That's why you had to insert "modern" to make it work. We haven't switched LED light bulbs globally. Millions of people still using the old school ones. > Nonetheless, there are plenty of people (my wife, for one) for whom the energy consumption is a showstopper that prevents them from feeling inclined to learn any more about it. !RemindMe 1 month. Let's see if you ask her about crypto post merge and now she loves it and thinks it great or if she still thinks it's stupid and dumb.
