anyone notice that MtGox also has 8000BTC ask wall at 170GBP, 6000BTC wall at 202EUR, 6000BTC wall at 847PLN, 6000BTC wall at 287AUD and 6000BTC wall at 285CAD.
So with the 6000BTC at 267USD, that's... a lot of BTC for sale.

Its the same coins, I made the same mistake before.
You can do that? Thought that you had to have the coins for each?

Pretty sure they'll be the same coins. Gox uses some sort of cross-currency system to fill orders so I wonder if the wall is reflected in all the currencies used in that system
Hmm, ok. Guess that makes sense to self arbitrate.

OK guys, I ran the calculations. I incorporated S curve adoption, trigonometric functions, a cold beer on a Friday night, a pair of jeans that fit just right, and something I pulled from my underwear while I was wearing them. This all results in a new exponential trendline, demonstrated below:

Why is it that people put in huge buy orders when the price goes UP to a certain level.
Happened at 900, and again just now at 1000, and I'm sure many times before.
Why wait? Don't they end up paying more for their coins?

I love seeing volume on gox - it gives me nostalgia. It's still NOTHING compared to april though.
God, my fucking head. Seriously?
Hint: It's currently traded more in DOLLARS than it did at any point in April, and the day isn't even over. Quit pricing it in Bitcoins.
+1
As the asset you are trading increases in value, the same amount of value can be exchanged with smaller amounts.
Look at a stock like Google (GOOG). At it's highest exchange rate (now), the volume (measured in shares) is far less than it was when the exchange rate was much lower. (Yes, I know Bitcoin isn't a stock.)
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=GOOG&t=my&l=on&z=l&q=l&c=I guess then the volume charts should display price*volume to give a normalised figure?

They do just on that on bitcoincharts.com

OOooooh. Yeah, volume is massively massive more than April.

Ok then let me post this and I expect some of you to call me an idiot here but here goes.
I have paper wallets and my plan to get BCH is this...
1. Create new paper wallets and using bitcoin core wallet as a middle man I'll transfer stash to new paper wallets.
2. Use a BCH software wallet and insert my old private keys (that are now empty)
(Which BCH wallet do I use? Is there more than one?)
3. When I want to trade them, send them to Kraken.
Will probably do this myself as well. Hard part will be moving the bitcoins to a new secure address.
Did the same at the weekend. Pulled the funds from my Trezor, then input the seed into a BCH BTC.com web wallet. Originally tried with the BCH version of electrum, but didn't work very well (it showed the transaction removing the funds from the trezor, so had 0 funds to move the BCH side of the fork).

I am a little bit confused by what you did or the reason why you did it?
If you had funds on your Trezor as of the August 1 fork, then the easiest solution is to use Trezor's coin splitting feature, no?
I know that Trezor had a glitch with their coin splitting feature for about 3 days around August 1; however, they fixed that glitch, no? And people have been splitting their BCH off of Trezor, so long as they had the coins on the Trezor as of August 1. Am I missing something?
You're not missing anything, I am... I wasn't aware of that. Ho-hum, no matter, got my coins

What if someone makes your payment with some stolen credit card?
This was addressed years ago, early on in their deployment. I believe someone was questioned by the police about a package and the item was taken by the police.
After that they created a guarantee on all purchases up to $10,000 and I assume have taken some measures to prevent this. I've used it for years and never had a problem.
I've always thought the whole idea behind it was a bit dodgy, but maybe it's worth trying then? I use GiftOff. Been great so far.

Segwit 2x guys just threw in the towel - bullish as fuck?
https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-segwit2x/2017-November/000685.html...
Our goal has always been a smooth upgrade for Bitcoin. Although we
strongly believe in the need for a larger blocksize, there is something we
believe is even more important: keeping the community together.
Unfortunately, it is clear that we have not built sufficient consensus for
a clean blocksize upgrade at this time. Continuing on the current path
could divide the community and be a setback to Bitcoin’s growth. This was
never the goal of Segwit2x.

I guess you will be able to split when Bgolds Blockchain is live.
This will happen in around 12 days, 12th of November.
And why you wanna dump when you've got no clue what the price on exchanges will be when they go live.
Sure dump with the herd. Sell at the bottom.

I may have missed some posts but no one speaks about the possible Segwit2x fork coming.
The Bitcoin Segwit2x would be happening in the next 6 hours according to a Coinbase statement:
https://blog.coinbase.com/bitcoin-segwit2x-update-b69a1c1e5ece"Last week, the Segwit2x development team announced they would no longer continue with the project. In addition, a significant portion of miners and other community leaders withdrew their support for the fork.
However, despite these developments, a small number of miners may attempt to go forward with a fork."
Have a window statement on my coinbase account too preventing BTC transactions pending situation resolves.

Last BTC dumps are being caused by clonecoins pump' n dumps lol. There is a good opportunity to arbitrage your BTG, between bittrex and bitfinex. The only con is that bitfinex deactivated the withdrawals for BTG
Cant seem to deposit BTG, either :/

Thanks to the Streisand effect caused by liars claiming our Bitcoin wallet is deceiving people into using #BitcoinCash we grew our user base by about 10% in just the last day. Thanks for the pump!

There is no mention on bitcoin.com that you are downloading the bcash wallet. It even shows screenshots of a btc wallet.
There is a huge negative rating on the IOS and android store pages and the 10% bump he is getting is people downloading the wallets to give a negative review

Guys, have all of you sold your Bitcoin Gold (BTG)?
I'm itching to sell them now, and do the following:
1. Buy Monero,
2. Buy more BTC.
What would you recommend? Should I sell my BTG now, or wait for a pump? And if I should sell now, which one of the two options would you recommend? I know this is altcoin territory, but it feels natural to ask here as I value your wisdom and opinion, and I'm sure many of you HoDL some altcoins in addition to BTC.
So, Bitcoiners, wait or sell your Gold, and what to buy?
Sold 1/3rd for the hell of it. Will wait for a BTC dip for another 1/3rd.
Free money!

If you did not continuously admit to bcash shilling, ...
I have never admitted to 'Bcash shilling'. You need -- once again -- to check your definitions.
I have admitted to advocating for Bitcoin Cash. I will admit to advocate for Bitcoin SV.
But the universally recognized definition for 'shilling' is predicated upon renumeration for advocacy of some thing that one would not advocate for if the payment was not made.
I have never shilled for any crypto.
Your insistence in misapplying such charged language only marks you as disingenuous. And is evidence of the
actual hostility in this conversation.
Rubbish. You constantly talk your book. And you carefully provide misleading information when you do so. Most of the time, what you say may not be technically wrong, but invariably amounts to a misrepresentation in the broader context. And some of the time it is outright fabrication.
This discussion is a case in point. You are relying on a historic definition of the term shill. We both know that is not how the word is used in 2018 in the crypto community. But you think yourself marvelously clever for having made the distinction. It would be most accurate to say you are a fraud and petty conman.

It’s still there
Somebody is definitely going to steal it.
It's a BIP38 password encrypted paper wallet. Impossible to sweep without knowing the password...
+1, Your funds are safe as long as you remember the passphrase.
IMO, keeping a BIP38 password makes your paper wallet
less secure. There's a good chance that you'll forget that phrase by the time you need to extract bitcoin out of your paper wallet.
Compare the probability of getting your piece of paper stolen and the probability of forgetting the password; there are more chances that you'll forget your password!
I don't know, if not even the owner of the coins can move them, they must be SAFE.

@jbreher, are you talking BTC or the bit'alts ? to hit that 100K ?
My hope is that it would be SV. As time goes by, hope diminishes. I will continue to think big blocks is the proper scaling solution regardless of the outcome.
If SV or ABC hit anything approaching 100k, I win extra-bigly. If BTC approaches 100K, I win something less bigly. Either way, future's so bright, I gotta wear shades.
At some point you have to recognize that a less superior tech, in your opinion, has won, or that it's victory is inevitable. We may not have reached that time yet for you.
However, at some point you have to retire the Betamax player and recognize that VHS won.
Segwit is a far superior tech. Increasing the block size is the least sophisticated way of solving the problem.
The thing is, as has been mentioned many times, Bitcoin will increase the block size when it becomes necessary, and not a moment before. Which means that Bitcoin will do everything the pretenders can do, plus more.

You can thank me later
? ? ?
What was your involvement? NVRAM or controller development? Civil or military?
I realize SSDs date back to the late 1980s. I'm fascinated by the early history.
I always saw storage as the main performance bottleneck in any computer system. I figured when cheap low-power-consumption high-capacity dependable solid state storage was achieved, we'd see a whole new world of portable devices.
It's not surprising that the first netbooks and then smartphones and tablets followed closely behind the development of MLC and TLC flash and controllers with improved wear leveling and garbage collection algorithms. Sure, improved battery and radio technologies helped but the mobile revolution was spurred by SSDs.
Inb4 jbreher fully dox himself: He is a fucking good mass storage engineer/developer. Would love he tells us more details if he feels like. He may have a wrong view of what is the true Bitcoin but the guy really knows his shit and has more high stakes pro level technical background that most of us here. Respect.

I was an SSD fan ...
You can thank me later
? ? ?
What was your involvement? NVRAM or controller development? Civil or military?
I realize SSDs date back to the late 1980s. I'm fascinated by the early history.
I always saw storage as the main performance bottleneck in any computer system. I figured when cheap low-power-consumption high-capacity dependable solid state storage was achieved, we'd see a whole new world of portable devices.
It's not surprising that the first netbooks and then smartphones and tablets followed closely behind the development of MLC and TLC flash and controllers with improved wear leveling and garbage collection algorithms. Sure, improved battery and radio technologies helped but the mobile revolution was spurred by SSDs.
Inb4 jbreher fully dox himself: He is a fucking good mass storage engineer/developer. Would love he tells us more details if he feels like. He may have a wrong view of what is the true Bitcoin but the guy really knows his shit and has more high stakes pro level technical background that most of us here. Respect.
To a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail
I am retarded... what does that mean in this case?
Of course he believes in big blocks. He is a mass storage engineer. To him, more storage is easy and the answer to all (most) problems.
So we can safely ignore anything he has to say about big block forks as his opinion is massively biased by his profession. Which is fair enough.

I never really understood this 'What Satoshi would have wanted' thing.
He is no messiah. His thoughts are not the be-all and end-all. If they were, we'd still all be on version 0.001 alpha release.
Who's to say if he was still directing Bitcoin he wouldn't take it down a route to oblivion? Everyone would mindlessly follow? Well, if BSV is actually Satoshi's vision, the price and uptake of it just shows it was a poor choice.

Here is what I use:
Cost me a few satoshis and I've been saving my bitcoins on it since last year. I don't see the point of hardware wallets if you are in bitcoin to hodl them.
To spend them actively i would still use my iphone for the job insead of hw wallets since I would carry my wealth in a paper wallet and my play money on my phone. But most importantly, it is just easier with a phone.
To me money spent on hw wallets is a waste. I would buy more crypto instead.
It's really all about the value of the amount you are storing, and therefore the risk.
Paper wallet is fine for smaller amounts, but...
- Where do you store the paper wallet safely
- What happens if you are burgled and the thief steals the wallet (wether or not they know what to do with it)
- Where do you store a backup, (and increase the risk of compromise)?
- What happens if your house burns down?
- Something gets split on the wallet and obscures the ink.
- 3 Years later, and you've simply lost the wallet, or thrown it out accidentally.
- When you spend the wallet and enter the address into a computer, are you 100% sure that computer is totally free from trojans/viruses, an attacker could steal the funds on the happy day when you cash-out.
These risks are small (ish) but if you had $100k or $100m, they would be much more important.
A paper wallet requires multiple diverse location copies, but each copy increases the risk of theft, and you need to trust someone else to look after other copies (family?)
So you can securely split the secret (Shamir's secret splitting
https://iancoleman.io/shamir/) , you can then choose how many parts of the total eg. 2 of 3 are needed to reconstruct the private key,
Then split it - 1 copy with a good friend or your lawyer, 1 with a family member, and 1 in your safe.
As its 2 of 3, 1 person can lose their key and its not a problem, and both the family member and friend need to collude to steal you coins.
You could of course increase this from 2 of 3 to any value such as 4 of 7, whatever makes sense to you.
When you come to spend the paper wallet, you should use a clean machine, install a new version of the OS ,and then only the wallet software.
I wouldn't use brand new software releases and I would check the authenticity of the code using release signing keys or hashes.
If you really want to do it properly, you should probably read Glacier protocol
https://glacierprotocol.org/, it discusses all the risks and possible solutions, you can then cherry pick the things you think are important to you.
You want to also factor in your own death to the scheme. Making sure 'your' people know about, and can actually get possession of the coins without you.
Exactly, for the amount i have, I'd need the whole airgapped/secure printer - computer combo thing. I don't have the space for that.
And at the time I bought it, it was $100.
Cyptosteel is an option, but the thought of making sure I get all those number and letters right!
And I do occasionally move some coins around - for example in Nov, when the funding % return rocketed on Bitfinex. Made a nice bit of BTC doing that. Then moved it all back before Jan.
Trezor's just so much more convenient. And now it work with Mycelium again!

Or perhaps satoshi

All the news of advances for Bitcoin are nice.
But in LN some actors are entering the game ...,of dubious origin, banks, institutions, startups, supported by the same.
This as news is fine, you do not have the coins immobilized in LN waiting.
Crypto payment platform Bitrefill has launched Thor, a service that allows customers to open Lightning channels on demand. Thor will connect to Bitrefill's node on the Lightning Network, allowing users to receive Lightning payments whether they have bitcoin loaded into their Lightning wallets or not.https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/bitrefill-channel-opening-service-makes-accepting-lightning-payments-easy/I wouldn't worry about banks becoming major LN hubs anytime soon.
r0ach always posts his chart with Goldman Sachs, Chase, etc. as major LN hubs. What he doesn't tell you is that Theymos alone has more BTC than Goldman Sachs.
I can foresee an alternative scenario where the liquidity of LN is provided by all the cypherpunks, computer nerds, and libertarians who mined or bought most of the coins.
I see LN being service providers, like *ahem* PayPal, Visa, Mastercard, AmEx, et al. Used for making 'small' value transactions easier and cheaper. I use (some) of these services daily, if they run their own Node, I wouldn't have a too big a problem to use them to buy some milk and bread in the morning. Of course only this time, the majority of my BTC will remain in my possession, not the banks.

I anticipate the market will come around to the superior solution. Admittedly, becoming less sure of this as time goes on.
It already has, you're just on the wrong side of it and got deluded.
If you don't think Bitcoin
TM with Segwit/LN is the *right* long term solution that will endure above all else, then you should just sell all your BTC holdings now get entirely out of the crypto world. Because I got some bad news for you about BCash ABC and SV... they've already failed in the eyes of the public.
BCH & SV are already dead, there’s literally zero interest in both. I’d love to see how many people buy & HODL thinking they’re the future. I see value in both for short term profits from random pumps but no way both will become mainstream payment options in the future.
Bitcoin will survive but the 2 shit forks are on life support imo, propped up by their scammer creators.

Yeah I hear similar stories almost every day. One guy from the UK I met last week had invested in Litecoin mining biz. He had some 10-15 Antminers. Had t shut them down and sell as the couldn't afford to pay the electricity bills and with today's LTC prices it wasn't paying off. His wife left him he's in the process of getting a divorce right now because of his financial situation. If this isn't freaking 'blood in the streets" then what is? HODL brethren, HODL till the end!
See now that's just not being very smart and forward thinking at all. Why would you hold on to them when they're unprofitable?
I sold my miners a few weeks before they became unprofitable to me. Made some good money on their sale too. I think they probably sold for more then they would have earned over the remaining profitable time.

it's much more about the mesh network stuff, keeping the chain size down. the fee market problems are way off
i agree it's early even for that former though
I have yet to see a convincing argument that the current system is broken. It’s all pie in the sky stuff.
Lighting will keep the chain size down. Just give it a chance.
I don’t think we need to worry too much about this at this point either.
I appreciate the forward thinking but believe that we need to allow BTC to mature before we look at doing anything with block sizes which might further jeopardise BTC’s adoption.
Give LN a chance to get further established and see where we are at a bit further down the road.
Who knows, someone might come up with a better idea than reducing block size to incentivise miners?
If miners go out of business due to block reward reduction, then that's down to their poor planning. It's not like the reductions and the timing of them hasn't been clearly laid out 10 years ago.

Regarding the patent talk:
Patents don't have to be proven to work, just have to be unique.
CSW could hold a bunch of bullshit patents in techno babble, which patent clerks don't understand, which perform no valuable or even viable function.
Then CSW can sue anyone who infringes on his (bullshit) patent.
Cue years of legal back and forth, where no-one wins, while it's established that what CSW holds a patent for isn't what the counter party is infringing on. Meanwhile, the innovative counter party is left destitute and out of business due to defending their case and no-one gains from the truly ground-breaking technology they developed.

Also many people think Satoshi is dead but you can't rule out a day when he decides to dump one million bitcoins on the market, just sayin......
I believe he is still alive - unless he was very unlucky.
Satoshi of course is not that sorry excuse of a person claiming to be so (Craig
Wright Wrong). No doubt on this one - 100%.
Yes Jbear. The following is my argument.
If Satoshi was greedy, or wanted to become possibly filthy rich in the future, he wouldn't have disappeared into thin air.
Instead, he did the only honorable thing to do. He set it free, without leaving any trace or room to be worshiped like a God or something.
It was a carefully executed plan.
He did the only thing he could do, to ensure the survival and success of BTC.
Took himself out of the equation. Like Prometheus and fire. Only the later was not so careful.
Believing Satoshi would pop out some day, cashing in his 1m coins, is believing that
BTC will fail.
I rest that there is a very tiny chance that this might happen, based only on the art of seduction & misdirection on a global scale. No.
I like to think he ritually destroyed his keys.

Zhou Tonged - Bitcoin's Back (Eminem - Without Me)
Good vibes!
Guess who's back???
BITCOIN!
I like the video... It is fun, and pro-bitcoin (even though I had not seen it before - from 2013.. funny that).
I also did not know what the fuck or who Zhou Tonged is, but it appears that from the urban dictionary,
"getting zhou tonged" has gained some notoriety, like the way we say "getting roached" in this thread.
Anyhow "getting zhou tonged" is getting margin called on your trade.
Oh, you would have loved it

and no, it is not getting margin called,
What is getting "Zhou Tonged," then? By the way, I don't play with margin.
I got the definition from here>
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Zhou%20Tonged>>>>>>Zhou Tonged
Bitcoin Slang, Your positions are automatically liquidated
due to insufficient trading balance after a margin call.
This occurs when trading using "leverage buying" at high levels 5:1 or 10:1
The large swings in the Bitcoin exchange rates can force automated margin selling, when the Broker sells out the customer without notice.<<<<<<
I guess they call it getting 'REKT' now.

mines never laughed at me but he has stated i have big cajones for not selling more than i did during the `17 bull run.
hes actually very interested and we always talk about it when i meetup with him. ive told him 1% has a very limited downside and a potentially stupid high up side and he agrees. but he hasnt recommended it to any clients afaik. which a cant say that i blame him, at this point. he needs to fully understand it 1st of all. and hes pretty old school, which is fine by me. he covers the low risk stuff (per my instructions), as ive always told him i have the high risk bit covered. he certainly agrees on the high risk bit lol. but he is absolutely impressed with my btcs performance.
Thanks for sharing some of your back and forth with your financial advisor. Recently, I have kind of gotten into the 5% to 10% recommendation area for people, but I still stick with the conservative 1% as you mentioned as kind of a bare (bear?) minimum..
In any case, it seems that we continue to be really early adopters in terms of BTC, and most financial advisors are going to be negative or dismissive about BTC, so it is good that you have some kind of a dialogue going with your financial advisor even though it is likely that he has a bit of a financial biased against BTC since there are very few BTC financial instruments in BTC in which they could recommend BTC and that they can also makes some money too (on fees).
Still, also contrary to one of your interests of your financial advisor is that one of the best and most powerful ways to invest in bitcoin is directly, rather than going through a financial advisor, which, in the future, may cause you to wonder about why you are investing much of anything through your "financial advisor" and allowing that third party to take fees from you and likely to be underperforming your BTC investment(s).
When we talk of %invested, do we mean original amount invested, or current ratio? Because mine are VERY different.

That begs an interesting question with regard to rebalancing of investments.
For any investment, it should represent a minimum and maximum % of the portfolio. Sales and purchases rebalance when it gets outside the range. I would guess BTC s limits for an investor would be a lot wider than for conventional investments (example min 2%, max 50%) but the balancing would still apply.
Opinions will be interesting.
Every single time I rebalanced my stock portfolio, I lost potential gains.
The explanation is simple: winners (could be either individual stocks or sectors) continue to be winners and losers continue to be losers for much longer than you expect.
In other words: make the initial allocation, then, if it works, don't balance anything, apart from cashing out.
Happy with that

For an additional possible joke suggestion, I had thought that something like disabling all hat avatars would be great, but I just don't know if there is an easy enough algorithm to filter the type of avatars, and another problem would be to reverse the joke.. might not be easy, either. Anyhow, the ban of hat avatars premise could be that a kind of cult has established around hats, and such cult behavior takes away from forum cohesion.
Incumbent users of hats would be disallowed from employing the use of any kind of avatar for one year.

Don't think it is hacked, he has been trolling with twitter and twitter profiles for years.
Elon knows a thing or two about crypto (see also answers on what money Mars will use) but claims to currently not own any.
(all total speculation below:)
In fact, I think he doesn't have any cash at all, except for some fund for his children that hopefully isn't in his own name.
Except from some toys and pocket cash everything is invested in his companies, then borrowed against his shares and invested that too. He is in well over 100% trying to remain the largest shareholder, and I think that is the right move with his work/home balance. TSLA stock is almost as much fun as BTC and the only stock I own. About 25% of tesla stock is currently shorted, in my opinion without good reason, so it will be fun to watch how that pans out. But stock is totally boring in weekends, that is what I have the BTC for.
I bet it his pocket cash is worth way more than my crypto is.

Wow!.. That's your solution? Bigger Blocks?
I don't understand some people's way of thinking. We are living in an era where almost anything is possible, we just need to be able to imagine it.
Let me dumb it down here...
How do we fix a traffic congestion. I know, let's build/add more lanes on the freeway. that will solve the issue, Right?. Where do we stop? 10 lanes, 100 lanes , 1000 lanes?
Can you see a problem? Eventually your solution will be obsolete, eventually the traffic congestions will surface. Not only that, what about the towns and cities that may be around the freeway when it was just 2 lanes, you would have to demolish the towns and buildings to build these new lanes, eventually you won't have any towns and city to use the freeway with 100 lanes.
Not only that, what if the land is not suitable for your extra lanes. Ie, mountains/rivers/lakes etc.
The solution is not simple, it would have to involve a multi point attack. We could implement, high speed rail to move people around faster, we could use other transport methods, increase Bus or Multi-Passenger vecihles to reduce the amount of cars using the freeway. We can even think outside the box, change peoples driving and transport habit, work from home in the first 2 hours. Leave work later etc etc.
Now back to Bitcoin, does this sound familiar, now can you relate to what the developers are trying to archive? Layer 2? LN?
If you think Bitcoin is crippled because of small block size, then you are still thinking inside the box, and do not have the capacity to understand the full ramifications of larger and larger block size, let alone the importance of a smaller block size. Again, this is only one aspect of Bitcoin.
The other night, I came home and the front light was out. I found my keys, but was struggling to see in the dark, took a tad bit longer to get the front door open, then I thought to myself, wouldn't it be awesome if I had one of those proximity cards, like I do at work, and be able to just swipe my wallet and get inside. So in other words, my house is CRIPPLED and I should move out to my Office/Work. Again, the front door lock is just one aspect of my house.
"One does not grow a system by limiting the things for which it is useful." <- That doesn't apply to Bitcoin, data shows Bitcoin usage has grown year on year. Never have been limiting Bitcoin, infact, we are finding ways to push the boundary of it "usefulness"
The biggest problem you have with your mindset is that you are only thinking about what is here now and not what could be here in the next 5/10/15 years. The Bitcoin developers, not only have to think about block size, they have to think about the whole of BITCOIN. Do not ever say they deliberately crippled Bitcoin, because that is an insult!
This is all great and all, but you might as well be talking to a wall.

https://www.crypto-news.in/explainer/bitcoin-explainer/paul-le-roux-yet-another-satoshi-candidate/"There are users on online cryptocurrency forums and message boards who theorise, Craig Wright may have been involved with Paul Le Roux from the day he started working on Bitcoin project. Wright became a snitch to US government leading to arrest of Paul Le Roux and used his friendship with Dave Kleiman to steal a hard disk of Le Roux which contains more than one million bitcoins which he has been using as basis to support his claims behind the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto.
...
There was also an anonymous user who theorised that Craig Wright’s hard dish with one million Bitcoin is actually hard disk stolen from Le Roux which was encrypted using his True Crypto software preventing Wright from accessing the bitcoins stored inside. The user also suggested that Calvin Ayre’s mining warehouse is just a front to hide true function of massive data centers which Calvin and Wright have so far been using to attempt decryption of true crypt volumes to plunder the bitcoins but have met with little success. "
Intriguing...
Assuming the above is true, they won't have much success, as TrueCrypt is a tough nut to crack. If Paul Le Roux has used it properly (i.e., using a cryptographically strong passphrase and/or nested encryption algorithms) it will take centuries for them to brute-force it open.
But... If Paul Le Roux was not very careful in choosing a strong passphrase, then there may be a good chance that they succeed. Craig Wright would then be able to sign as Nakamoto and would have the proof he needs. He could also dump those million BTC and cause havoc...
I really hope they end up like this:
Doesn't matter. By Craig's own words, possession doesn't mean ownership:
found this at his blog.
https://craigwright.net/blog/bitcoin-blockchain-tech/shades-of-black/Possession of a key is not evidence of ownership. It was never the intent of Bitcoin. It is the intent of people like Greg Maxwell, James Donald, and others who seek a system that acts outside the law. If you have a stolen asset, possession doesn’t make it yours. It applies to Bitcoin equally. If bitcoin is stolen through stolen keys, they do not give the receiver ownership. They do not act as proof. In monetary law, money is fungible and transferable only when it is exchanged without knowledge of fraud or malpractice and for good consideration. It is critical. To be money, Bitcoin does not rely on the mere possession of keys, which is the aim and desire of those seeking a new version of Liberty Reserve coin or e-gold. There are some who will tell you that the mere possession of a key is definitive evidence. They are avoiding the rules of evidence and courts, and seek to alter their nature.
sure sounds like a blacklisting of some sort. some coins will not be allowed to move via private key when some criteria/law is broken.
perhaps im misunderstanding. i seek clarity.

Well, this is putting the 100K party Vegas location in jeopardy.
I thought it was agreed that we wouldn't do the party in the US, for our various international friends who have problems stepping onto US soil ?
Canada in the summer is nice (British Columbia ?), although I think somewhere in Europe might be an alternative (Spain ? The Netherlands ? Belgium ? Someplace that has no trouble with English)
Mexico or anywhere South America are out of contention for security reasons.
I have trouble getting out of the US, might make it into Canada, the Caribbean would actually be the easiest to pull off for me.
It was always going to be very impractical opsec-wise to have one huge party.
We're going to have to decentralise this thing.
One in Vegas, one in Canada, one in Amsterdam, one in my garden if the weather's nice
You are suggesting a kind of simultaneous and multiple locations thingie-ma-jiggie?
Would that mean that a certain minimum number of WO peeps would have to be present at each location in order for that location to count as an official $100k WO "hotspot?" It would seem kind of strange to me to allow only one person to be present, and for the spot to count, so I am having some trouble with the logistical and logical specifics in this regard, but I surely do like the idea of a kind of OpSec preservation attempt... I also believe in the concept of security through obscurity, so in that regards, OpSec would not have to be "perfect" in order for it to be substantially and materially sufficient. So, in those kinds of circumstances, I might even agree to attend such a "party," when otherwise, I might have told you WO "goofballs" (endearment intended) to go fuck u r lil selfies.
Security through obscurity?

On the security front, I was wondering (and I know very little about encryption) can you encrypt a message with the public key of a BTC transaction and have it only decrypted by the private key of said transaction?
In which case you could ensure secure comms to the parties who sent in deposits. Of course you can never guarantee said party won't divulge said comms, but maybe a start?

The way I see it, there are 2 types of people here.
1-Those who want go girls, yachts, private jets, foam party, monaco, ibiza, Vegas (ffs :p)... you get the picture. Ultra rich party. Snipers' dream.
2-Those who want to get together and drink some beers and maybe do some crazy stuff later in the night.
(not too crazy, we don't wanna break any laws)
Looking at number 1 all we have to do is check the various 'blockchain cruises' as cautionary tales - Ukranian hostesses either crying or yawning, crypto bros dry humping pianos, the autistic ones hiding in their cabins and texting into the great nothingness.
You need something compelling, bonding and memorable. I would suggest planning and executing a raid on an Al-Shabaab base in a remote area of Somalia.
Fuck I just want to get a couple of beers and make fun of some of ya to your face, I want to raise pint and have a cheers to the shit we saw, what we emotionally went through (Fuck I'd say one of our own members being hunted down by a fucking government is a big fucking deal) and just having a good time and hearing stories about goofey shit and knocking on each other.
I don't need a bunch of whores trying to lie our new found wealth out of us, I don't need some crazy shit that will make me see everything as a goat with milk dripping from its horns or anything, I don't need to go to somewhere and wear a suit to pretend im something (Im not craig)
Fuck 100k, we should just have a get together regardless.
Need two parties then:
-Extroverts
-Introverts

Alright since everyones lost their damn mind on this party here's my suggestion.
UK, London (this could be changed)
Rent out a pub near the Guardian office, open bar, maybe some UK chav sluts, whatever. Open bar, easy peasy.
Use an invite system or just date based.
Why? English speaking country and we all know everyone here speaks English, it has relevance to Bitcoin with the Genesis Block.
We have a lot of Euro boys who could get their easy, us America have no issue getting in the UK, reading shits easy blah blah blah, we won't get murdered by cops (fuck they don't even have guns) it's all a good idea.
Keep things organized and easy, yachts are not easy, 10k is fucking stupid entry fee, fuck all that.
Find a hotel near the pub where everyone stays at and we can all help each other not die in the streets from alcohol poisoning.
Keep it simple boys and you have an actual shot of it happening.
So... a stag do then?

Afaik transaction malleability breaks LN. So Segwit is necessary for LN as it fixes transaction malleability. Also BIP 114 for MAST requires Segwit.
I think that the malleability bug is separate from the segwit. I think segwit required the fix in order to work. So segwit in on itself is not required for LN.
One advantage of segwit are reduced orphaned blocks, as the small header is sent separately and prior to the transaction data to other miners. The quicker transmission time reduces the chances two blocks are mined at the same time.
Another is simply a more efficient use of space. More tx's per Kb.
That's what I understand, anyway.

My understanding is that tx malleability shifts the tx id, which means the locked coins cannot be validly spent. So segwit is a dependency for LN.
Edit: this post explains it better than I could: http://cowpig.github.io/bitcoin/cryptocurrency/2017/06/24/Segwit-and-Lightning-Network/
Ah, ok. So Segwit IS the bugfix. thought they were separate.

There is some evidence (or at least I read about it) that there are about 1 mil btc in the trust.
Not sure if it is correct or not, but if it is incorrect, then these Florida proceedings make no sense.
I for one have not read of one single thing that points to this trust existing in any form whatsoever. There's never been any indication that Satoshi's coins are anything but a dormant mystery and no amount has ever been established.
I always presumed these proceedings made no sense from the start. It will dawn on everyone having their time wasted soon enough. Since it's civil I assume anyone can accuse anyone of anything as long as they have a bit of money to get rolling.
That's my thinking.

For every banned account on this Forum the Price of the Pump jumps by 50Bitcoin. So by the time you all will realize that you need us the price will probably be 1000 BTC !
Who the fuck are you & what are you on about?
Here is your "Fucking" Answer
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5159331.0Hello dear Cryptonians
I am here to ask for Motivation and wellwisher charm, we will help Crypto be more widespread and adopted. I have had alot of influence in the past BTC Rally as i put Bitcoins name in the most popular YouTube & News Livestreams so as you have used the search engine and typed in Bitcoin the first thing that poped up was Bloomberg Global news ( You know that this was a great influence ) and various other places that had a nice influence over the globe. So we talked about BTC with Consumers everywhere we could in a positive manner, but we stopped as soon $15,000.00 hit and we partialy cashed out because we did not have much BTC and the BTC we cashed out was very welcome. But so did many others on the behalf of our hard work and dedication(not that i invy or anything i just want to point out) and we asked anything in return, as we quit doing it we were thinking that doing it once will be enough to keep BTC Rising in Value and Adoption while other groups will carry our torch.. At that time we did it for everyone and free of charge. Now we need motivation to do it again ! I have made a plan how to do it and where to do it very effectively! The Motivation we need as a whole team is 50 BTC(10 BTC per Person) and we will dedicate our 1 Year of life or abit more to Promote and Market BTC also other Wonderful Projects All over the Globe (+ working 1 year / 24/7 is exhausting) (+ We need abit of funds for this project to work as we will use an old technique aswell ETC.). We promise success as our methods are very unorthodox and influencing ! But i can not share any information on how we are going to do it as we might get Zuckerberged ( I hope you understand what i mean by that ) but i can share after the 50 BTC is collected. Every labour has to be paid in this day and age as nothing is free and we are not robots =) ! So this is the motivation we need and we will do our job as best as we can that BTC will be more distributed, adopted and widely used. It will take 1 Year or abit more to achieve the desired effect and price.
When we were at work Coinbase transactions were flooded and every Alt that is a good project Benefited aswell.
Yes the stakes are high but i promise we will make it worth it as i am in the Promo & Marketing Business for over than 9 years !!
As soon as we gather 50 BTC we will begin our job in maximum effort mode !
I hope this finds you well and without ill judgement as our intentions are pure.
Together we will reach new hights !!
Kind Regards Bitcointalk

Oooooh, I probably shouldn't have investigated where that 500 or so sats came from that appeared in my cold storage stash.
But wouldn't that mean these attacks would have to come from the block explorer sites? That where one would go to trace transactions after all.I see, so it's in collecting the dust with a transaction. OK, haven't done that. Will make sure it stays where it is.
WO gang.
BTC is so lazy in these days, but I think this news is really important:
LITECOIN WALLETS HIT BY LARGE-SCALE DUSTING ATTACK, SO WHAT IS IT?Reports are emerging that Litecoin wallets have been hit by a new kind of cyber-attack called dusting. It has not affected LTC markets but is something that crypto traders and holders should be aware of. Binance Academy offered an explanation.
In short, a dusting attack is when scammers attempt to break the privacy of a cryptocurrency, Litecoin in this case, by sending tiny amounts of it to private wallets. The attackers then attempt to trace the transactional activity of these wallets in an attempt to discover the identity of the person that owns them.
The term ‘dust’ refers to the tiny fractions of crypto coins that most users ignore. A couple of hundred satoshis may be referred to as ‘dust’ as the sum is so tiny that most people would not even notice it. It is also prevalent on crypto exchanges as the remnants of transactions that remain in wallets and can no longer be user or transferred.
Here a description of the attack on Binance academy.

I have seen some comments of yachts.
When you have a boat there are only two happy days:
- The day you buy it and the day you sell it.
Look at this picture and tell me you don't want it
Maintenance costs on a 100m ($200M) super yacht aren't that bad
Costs per year$4,000,000 to $15,000,000 on maintenance
$2,000,000 on crew (30 crew supplement)
$350,000 dockage
$300,000 on provisioning (food/drinks/wine cellar/etc.)
$240,000 insurance
$36,000 on navigation, TV, etc.
Other costs
$1.1 million on refits every few years
Totaling at something like $7M to $20M a year ....
So it's not as bad as you think....
Can't have a boat like that and not have a helicopter...

Sometimes, however, the serpent of doubt slithers through my soul. This halving might be different from the others. What we know is that halvings are going to be more and more irrelevant as the supply decreases. What we don't know is the rate of increase of the irrelevance. In order to estimate possible halving effects, we can use a priori data and contingent data.
A priori data: current level of supply.
Contingent data: state of adoption, price, market sentiment, etc.
Just for a rough estimate, assuming the price at the halving is in the same ballpark as today:
| Date | Reward (BTC) | Price (USD/BTC) | Reward (USD) |
| 2012.11.28 | 50BTC | 12.35 | 617.50 $ |
| 2016.07.09 | 25BTC | 650 | 16.250 k$ |
| 2020.05.XX | 12.5BTC | 10500 | 131.250 k$ |
I've been looking at this table and pondering for a while, but the serpent isn't dead, not yet at least. Any food for thought? I'm still staying strong anyway, we all know why.
I am a BTC believer. I am a HODLer.

I love it, its a win-win, if Bitcoin goes down I can accumulate a little more, if it goes up, my net worth goes up. Ill take this any day over going sideways!
This is most likely weasels who were hoping to make profits by selling into a BAKKT pump losing their balls & unloading in panic.

Pretty far-sighted. Dyson was taking on high-flyers as recently as the summer, bit weird.
He knows the business (hence head-hunted).

As a non smoker I prefer smokers over vapors. Smokers stink up the place and a little smoke may blow your way if they are close to you but you can easily avoid it or just use your hand to wave/fan it back in their face. Ive literally done this next to people who blew smoke towards me as the were next to me at a bar or casino. Their reactions of shock, fear, and or anger are always funny but im just returning their little gift to sender.
Vapors present a different dilemma bc they will sometimes be walking in front of you or past you and leave a giant vape cloud in their wake that you end up walking in to. These are hard to dodge sometimes bc of their size and impossible to hand wave back into the scoundrels face.
As far as Im concerned second hand smoke and vape are simple assault and should only be allowed in private places among consenting company.
TLDR:
I laugh when I hear of Vapors dying. Jk, but not really bc idgaf about scoundrels blowing toxic poisonous bubble gum flavored shit in my direction.
What gets me is when you're driving behind a vapor'er, you see a massive cloud appear from the drivers side window of the car in front, and your car sucks it in you get a dose of some shitty cherry flavoured nicotine.
Never fucking happened with cigarettes.

Bitcoin is not going to be a way to avoid reporting to the authorities. Craig Wright has explained/argued how the authorities will be able to pressure exchanges and 50+% of the miners to censor transactions:[/size]
...
So a key insight from Craig’s point is that if mining is not sufficiently in the hands of users (i.e. decentralized) then censorship resistance is going to gradually die over time. Initially governments will focus on coordinating on freezing cryptocurrency associated with major crimes. But of course over time this will digress into a form of abject totalitarianism.[/size]

Anyone interested to answer this stupid?
But... in the crypto world, they are possible. Take for example bitcoin. People are paying thousands or even million times more for bitcoin than for some altcoins, even though these coins have the same or better utility than bitcoin. Meaning, the same as bitcoin these coins can be transferred easily, fastly, cheaply, safely and transparently to someone. Such coins can be bought for as low as $0.001. Why people in the crypto world pay millions time more for the same thing? Why they behave so irrationally?

Thanks so far for your suggestions and opinions on the secure, inheritable seed storage topic.
It's a hell of effort for me to quote everybody's contribution i'm referring to here, so i round it up in this unilateral post, to avoid to totally mess it up.
I now consider storing one half of every seed in a place where i must have at least personal contact to a human to access the seedwords.
That means safe (yuck) or notary. Maybe both, half seedwords in the safe, passphrase at the notary for post mortem inheritance reasons or something like that.
JJG: I didn't tell the bank's employee anything about crypto, and i would i never do so. I just mentioned folded, single paper sheets and little items. I guess i will keep the ledger(s) at home for everyday use and to follow the two-level anti-thug advice of sacrificing a few % of my crypto (by mindrust, if i'm correct), which was also brilliant.
Somebody was curious about the country, it's Austria (the one without the kangaroos).
The finger is doing nice, at least no signs of infection and i can use it for typing again. This should end well, and i regard that as a warning by the universe, to follow safety standards with cutting tools. Even worse, i have a pair of kevlar gloves lying around. I should have used them. Once i rammed the base of my thumb into a sharp sheet metal edge, which got it cut half off, with a lot more blood, hospital, stitches and temporary nerve damage involved. Doctors did beautyful work, ten years later the scar is very light and thin.
Thanks for the love, practical tips and support so far #nohomo
I'm in read-only mode for the rest of the day or two, need to make a few wood/metal rings (jewellery) soon, which still needs quite some research and experimentation, and also craft another two of those bitcointalk anniversary ebony poker chips, using a different process.
There's better than that... Satoshi labs have BIP (and have implemented there own version) for a key sharing on the trezor:
https://blog.trezor.io/shamir-backup-the-revolution-of-private-keys-backup-is-here-858687ed7fe7As soon as I saw that, I bought the model-T (already have the one, but is unsupported on that).
Now I have mailed out shares to my most trusted friends and family, signed and sealed with an explanation letter so that if anything happened to me it can all be recovered. Made A LOT of shares and most of them are required for recovery.
Originally I did split the seed words, but that does mean the number words required to be guessed is greatly reduced. I my case they had 2/3rds of the words, so just 1/3rd had to be guessed. With the Shamir there's no worries there.
Just would be nice for others to implement the BIP!

MATIC was launched by Binance's launchpad and has throughout remained one of CZ's favorite projects (according to CZ's tweets about it). It really feels like it was a coordinated dump by the MATIC's Indian team and Binance (don't forget that Binance even offers margin trading on MATIC, which made a few people super-rekt overnight).
$MATIC holders basically became 1% poorer every 15 seconds for 30+ mins in a row

Thanks for the update. I made good use of Bitcoin ATMs while on the run.

People sometimes ask whether other people have a problem or whether they have a problem.
In this case, you are the one with the problem. Sorry to be the only person frank enough to tell the truth and to break the news.
Everyone else

I think this is exactly what drives him.
I am ashamed to admit if I had the money he had when 24, I would have retired to some exotic places or relentlessly travelling the world.
He’s instead running two of the most disruptive firm in the world working 80 hours week.
I’m not ashamed to admit that I would have retired too.
Some people need to be on the go all the time, it’s what keeps him relatively sane probably.
I wonder if I really could retire if (when) BTC hits $100K. It's a nice dream, and I'm sure it'd be nice for a while. But I'm pretty sure I'd go nuts unless I found some kind of project/job to take on.
Designing and building my own house could be one such project. Always quite fancied that... Grand Designs has a lot to answer for.

Does it mean "justice requires weapons"? If so, it should be "armas".
I don't think arma is a first declension noun. I'm pretty sure it would follow the same declension (2nd) as bellum in the plural form (one of the only declensions I remember well from high school Latin)
The accusative pl. would be 'bella'. I'm pretty sure the motto is fine the way it is. I mean if I was a betting man...
You're right, xhomerx10 and Arriemoller. I stand corrected.
It is actually a plural-only noun, neuter gender, second declension.

The Bitcoin SV pump is based on CSW's saying that the bonded courier actually showed up with the tulip trust keys. In other words, he says he's now in possession of 1 million or so BTC (half of which is supposed to go to the Kleimans).

If only...You mean prove, cryptographically that he is Satoshi Nakamoto by signing a message?
That’s asking for too much
To be fair...he may not know how to do that.
Can someone explain that to him so he can prove he's Satoshi?
So when he subsequently fails to move any coins or sign any messages, how are the (what are we calling SV believers these days? Morons? Is it morons?) morons going to explain it?

Well, objectively, the price of both BCH and BSV are higher than BTC's was, just about 5 years ago, or around 2013-ish ... The problem is they might stick around at least another 5 years just because ... reasons.
Presumably when CW fails to sign a message from any address holding large amounts of corn ahead of this final court date on Feb 3rd then BSV, at least, will suffer a massive dump.
It’s his final opportunity to show he’s (lol) Satoshi. You’d think any of his dumb sheep who buy & believe in BSV will start to sell as it plummets.

Can't wait until someone moves the contents of one of those 16404 addresses. Or signs a message against one

LFC_Bitcoin just sent me 0.00587140 BTC (the equivalent of around $50). He doesn't know who I am. I don't know who he is. We did not have to register to any site or server. No one, I repeat, NO ONE, could stop this transaction from happening. Even if one miner refused to confirm it for some reason, there are thousands more who would. There were no intermediaries. No company or bank to allow or deny it. He cannot take it back. No one can. He was the sole owner of that amount. He transferred ownership to me. Now I am the sole owner of that amount. He did this from (probably) thousands of miles away from me. He did not have to send anything by mail. It happened over the air. Electronically. It took less than half an hour. It cost less than $0.40. It will stay in the Blockchain forever. That's Bitcoin.

you have no fear that CSWs insane mind will finish its decent into lunacy and utterly destroying whatever you think bsv is?
No. Users are not forced to accept new versions of SW. Anyone is free to continue using the previously existing version. This nullifies any threat.
Of course, it is likely that nChain is a significant miner, which does lead to some exposure in this regard. But Craig does not hold exclusive chains of power in that organization, and others there are not suicidal. So, somewhat mitigated.
So you're banking on BSV users making good decisions?
Hmm.

That was like 8 months before I started. On Oct 18th, 2013..sometime during the day, BTC was $150 when I looked.
I miss my Newbie BTC Youth! The thrill of being absolutely 'clueless' on wtf you were doing and still making out like a bandit!
KNC Jupiter Miner arrived 0ct 18th, 2013. I got it sopping wet full of water and parts floating inside. Dried it out. It was $5,131.80 USD.
Tried to turn it on, IT CAME WITH NO FRIGGING SWITCH, I was utterly befuddled.
Emailed them got a prompt reply to use a 'paper clip' and short out the PSU leads to the
computer cable for power to a computer motherboard.
Sat there 'stunned!'
I mean really, I paid the amount above for this beastie and it does not even have a 'frigging' switch!
Closed my eyes, turned my head away for expected flash/explosion and of the certain 'bricking' of the device.
Worked fine, Ran like a top for a couple of years, till difficulty got to high on BTC vs electric. (considering BTC price now should have run it another 1/2 year!)
Best Miner I ever had par none for output and stability. Sometime during that day, I looked up the price of BTC it was $150 USD per BTC!
I think I made 1 BTC a day.
I 'long' for a return to those glory 'newbie' home mining days, but alas,they are gone forever.
Those were the days.
I had a pretty tidy return from this:
I bought 6 in all.

Man. I waited nearly 7 months to get my BFL miners. When I did, the taxes my government charged were more than the value of the Bitcoin I could mine with them even if I didn't include the cost of electricity. To add insult to injury, my wife called me at work the first night I was running them to tell me of a strange smell coming from the room. I told her to unplug them and in the morning when I got home, I saw that one of the power supplies had melted - those were SHIT (the power supplies)! I connected some better PSUs and ran them for a while to heat my feet under my computer desk.
I've always wished I had simply spent that money on coins rather than miners - it would have bought ~ 30 Bitcoins.
Yeah, one or two of the supplied PSU's blew up on me on the short time I used them, but I always planned on wiring up a high efficiency PC PSU.
Think I sold them on ebay!
The FPGA ones (first set) were a bit late. The ASIC ones were VERY late, but still made good profit on them.

Bitcoin Price Matches Stock-to-Flow Forecast as $100K Halving NearsBitcoin (BTC) now almost perfectly aligns with the historically accurate price chart, which has charted its growth from pennies to digital gold.
According to data from Digitalik, a resource that monitors Bitcoin's position relative to the Stock-to-Flow model, as of Jan. 20, BTC/USD is exactly where it should be.
$8.6K Bitcoin sticks rigidly to forecasts

“Because I’m smart enough not to be. Because then people could force me to actually move coins. You can take things from trustees. If it was mine, people could have seized assets from me.”

Do we really want to send them to coinbase? I understood they've been naughty in assisting agressive nutrino chainalyasis/analytic tactics.
Genuinely curious. What _exactly_ do you think they are doing to aid chainalysis? Divulging private customer data?
First things come out of my mind:
Doing chain analyisis on all the trades you do before funding deposit/ after funds withdrawal.
Coinbase: the Neutrino scandal and the #DeleteCoinbase campaignOkay... from the article: "
hypothetical activity". Got any evidence that they are divulging any such data?
Also from the article: "CoinBase marketing manager Christine Sandler said:
“It was important for us to migrate away from our current providers. They were selling client data to outside sources..."
So they were able to move from an external provider who they knew was selling customer data to others, and bring that function in-house, by purchasing an existing vendor if such services, who they can now control. Perhaps stopping such sale of customer data.
Yes, that's provocative. But rather than a net negative for privacy, it could be a net positive. Again, what evidence exists for your speculated nefarious activity?
Yes. Dust attack has been known since years. Evidence Coinbase is misusing these small bonuses? I mean, such could be perfectly explained by a simple enticement to garner new customers. Much as banks used to offer a free toaster for opening an account.
Selling those data to government agencies
Again... evidence?
Inspiring other Bad actors to follow the same vicious path. Read:
#deletePaxos'Inspiring'? OK. I guess. But not (e.g.) Binance, right?
I don't deny you have some scattered facts upon which to
start to build such a case. But from what I have seen your evidence, it falls woefully short of being convincing that they are involved in any nefarious activity. Got anything more conclusive?
Ever notice that jbreher is never too slow to defend bad actors in the space?
Wonder why?

People don't realize one thing: Mother nature doesn't f-ck around.
All stories about lab escape are irrelevant from a historical perspective.
We, humans, exist as a species for only 180K years, give or take, a very "young" species.
There are lots of us and we differ very little (0.1% or so at the DNA level).
Read the story of bananas. Once there is a dominant homogeneous species, it almost always gets wiped out, like prior banana "version".
What i am getting at is this: as planet is warming up (it does not matter due to humans or not) and our population grows and becomes more urban, further "weird" epidemics are inevitable.
We already got HIV, Corona, zika (affecting brain development), brain eating amoeba in fresh water, antibiotic resistance, etc.
I am afraid that we, humans, would be culled, which would suck big time.
As I was thinking about this, I remembered the "Children of men". Maybe artists/authors have a pre-cognition of some sort.
This all is too sad to think about, let's celebrate life which we are still having.
This is pretty much how I see things. How long were dinosaurs around for? Millions of years. We're but a tick of a clock in comparison. Something will wipe us out well before the dinosaurs, and it'll inevitably be our own undoing. Whether that be climate change, genetically engineered bio-weapon, AI robots gone rogue, general war, over population, genetic engineering gone wrong, inadvertent EMP, and any number of other possibilities. We'll be lucky if we get another 100K years.

my theory is this: until halving in May 2020 volume on marketplaces will decline because miners and others will hold back their BTC and plan to sell it after halving. they are speculating the price will increase after halving.
so low volume is not good for markets because then markets are easier to manipulate by big fishes.
any thoughts on this?
I would have thought if miners were not selling, the price would go up. Its definitely not doing that.

If you are in the accumulation phase of your bitcoin, then any spending of bitcoin should be obviously considered as having a replacement (a subsequent buy).
Once you get to your maintenance or liquidation phase, then you are likely to have a bit more flexibility, which might allow you to consider the size and/or portion of your bitcoin a little bit differently, and surely maintenance means what it's name implies.....
In other words, no matter what phase you are in, you should be considering how you are spending your money in terms of gresham's law, and of course, spending the worse monies first, and if you are really depleting the size of your bitcoin holdings because of spending, then you likely have invested too much into bitcoin.... I am not saying that there is NOT any value in spending bitcoin, and I have spent some and found some value in trying to play around or figure out the bitcoin ecosystem in that direction... ... and so spending bitcoin would merely amount to whatever it's dollar value at the time, and so who fucking cares if it would add up to a $million right now.. because you still have to live, and most people can only stock so much away into investing, anyhow.
Surely, any of us who have the ability or the actual fortune to have an income that is greater than our living expenses should feel grateful to be able to do that, but we are still tasked with trying to figure out our own budgets and figuring out how much to live within our means including the value of deferred gratification, when possible. So, yeah, it makes way more sense to be living it up with a lot of luxuries maybe including buying cups of coffee when you can make it much cheaper without loss of quality and when you have a lot of extra value coming in versus if you are in a stage of setting up your investments, including if you are in a BTC accumulation stage.
Basically, the situation I'm in is if I didn't have BTC to supplement my income I'd have a very sad life; never eating out, no holidays, no 'nice' things every-so-often.
I'm VERY lucky to have BTC. Very.

How can mounting a USB stick on an AutoRun-disabled VM affect your host's BIOS? Honest question, I want to know.
Don’t lost track of the fact that USB is an acronym for
Universal Serial Bus. That device could contain any number of USB endpoints, each implementing a different device class. What if one of the endpoints identifies as a Human Interface Device — for example a keyboard — and injects a number of commands to the system? From the users perspective, invisibly. Or even deeper, a bridge device, giving it access to the underlying I2C bus - maybe even the SMB?
Yeah, but who is going to maintain the discipline required to ensure any potential infection does not spread from the separate PC to others in your stable?
There is the Yubikey which types for you like a USB keyboard. There is that Rubber Ducky, which types like a USB keyboard and can type like it was there at 100 words per second or something as fast as a keyboard will accept, such as Windows-R, CMD, and do any number of commands from the command prompt.
https://shop.hak5.org/products/usb-rubber-ducky-deluxeAs for virgin clean PC's, I used to (and still do) use something called Deep Freeze, reboot to restore thing. If the host computer it's installed on gets infected, before it can propagate any problems to the rest of the network (assuming you disconnected it physically from the rest of the network), you just reboot, and it's back as new, as if it was never updated.
Most malware is unaware of it's existence. It's great for setting up kiosks that provide internet access through regular browsers. At the end of the session, reboot, it's back to the way it was. If you need to update anything, reboot, turn it off, update, reboot, and it will stay that way.
In theory, it can still be hacked, but in practice it's as if the whole computer is one giant VM. Reboot, and it's back to the way it was yesterday.
If you need to save data or files or documents, you save them on a different drive or partition or folder designated as such. But the rest of the OS, reboot, and it goes back to the way it was.
I recall reading an article where they made a 'flash drive' act like an ethernet adapter and would intercept all internet traffic for a man-in-the-middle attack.

It's not a pendulum, it's a cycle. It can't restart before it has either completed or a specific type of event happens that resets it. The "pendulum" does not simply stop at the halfway point and then go in the other direction.
It kind of does. It swings one way until it can't anymore, gradually slows down to zero, reverses its direction and repeats the same action but mirrored, then it resets and begins a new cycle.
It's the same thing, in some sense. If you project circular motion onto any straight line coplanar with the circle, you get harmonic (pendulum) motion.
Thanks. This was what i was trying to say by "looking at the circle sideways" before, but you explained it about 99% better
Being pedantic, not *quite* true.
With a small swing angle a pendulum closely approximates a sine wave, but this approximation gets worse with larger angles.

Cut 4-5 lbs good fatty skin-on bone-in pork shoulder into 3" pieces after removing and reserving the skin. Salt liberally, and fry in enough lard to cover. Don't skimp on the lard.
After it's a nice brown add about a cup of orange juice (preferably fresh-squeezed, 3/4 cup of Coca Cola (preferably non-HFCS Mexi-Coke) and 1/2 cup evaporated milk along with a whole large onion, a few cloves of garlic, the juice of a couple of limes and a herb bundle. Oregano and bay leaves are standard. No cilantro though. That goes on later with chopped raw onions as a condiment. Likewise no chilies. Place skin on top and cover.
After it is back up to a boil, reduce the heat to a low boil (just over a simmer), and cook for at least a few hours (or overnight) until the juices are reduced to a thick gravy, enough to keep the meat moist while basically frying in the lard again. The meat should be super tender and moist, similar to what Americans call pulled pork.
Serve by cutting the pork, a chunk at a time, and some of the skin, into small pieces across the grain and piling on freshly made (or at least reheated)
corn tortillas garnished with chopped raw onions, cilantro, pico de gallo, salsa verde (mmm, chili de arbol), etc.
Leftovers can be frozen and reheated by frying in a little of the lard and moistening with a little of the juice. The bulk of the lard can be reserved, frozen and used for your next batch.

These are not to be confused with TV-cooking-show/foodie website/Youtube bullshit. These are real Mexican carnitas, cooked the way experienced Mexican mamas and vendors make them.

Isn't the LN supposed to provide a solution to this?
