Hey Tamari, go long (;
I really am worried for Tamari... does any one know if he has jumped off a cliff yet or something of the sort? I really hope not, but with all the financial loss he's acquired, I wouldn't doubt it at all.
You really think that any serious trader would have more than an irrelevant fraction of his portfolio in a penny stock like BTC?
Pretty sure he's doing fine.
You, OTOH...

lol, "bitcoin" "penny stock"... keep trying to tell yourself that, and justifying what the bears have lost already... I'm not really trying to rub it in any ones face, I truly feel bad for them. And I'm pretty positive Tarmi isn't some multi billion dollar CEO that can afford to lose 100's of thousands of dollars at whim.
See, your thinking is typical of
degenerate gamblers bit-coin investors. No need to be a CEO of a multi-billion dollar co. to know Bit coin for a penny stock being pumped. Or to have a balanced investment portfolio.
Now you know

Here's a short joke for ya Tamari
Why you call me Tamari, Friend? I lurked on this gambling board and only today started posting, because my other smart investment, MMM Republica of Bitcoin, is temporarily on pause while Sergey updates and robusts the infrastructure. I'm just a
bored lazy degenerate looking for free munyz investor in disruptive technologies, augmenting my (already winning) portfolio with another promising international reserve currency. Just like you.

I bought 0.00000000 BTC when I first learned abot bitcoin -- in nov/2013, when the price was ~1200$. So, even though my investment was fairly modest, and (as you already know) I have been able to double my holdings every day since then, I am still quite disappointed by the loss of almost 70% of the money that I put into this coin.
Time is money and you've invested plenty. I hope you are getting good returns on the time you've invested here.
LOL!
It doesn't bother you at all, knowing that the only thing you see as being worthwhile is ...financial gain?

Financial gain is secondary for me, there are much bigger matters at stake here. I will happily sell all my bitcoin completely at a loss if it betrayed its principles. (I.E... excessive centralization, blacklists ruining fungibility, raising the 21 million bitcoin limit, mandated KYC at the protocol level)

Do you know why nuclear explosions don't blow up the whole planet? Because the chain reaction needs a certain amount of heat to continue. Yes, it's an awesome event, but it doesn't last long.
And, in the death, as the last few corpses lay
Rotting on the slimy thoroughfare
The shutters lifted in inches
In temperance building high on Poacher's hill
And red mutant eyes gaze down on hunger city
No more big wheels
Fleas the size of rats sucked on rats the size of cats
And ten thousand peoploids split into small tribes
Coveting the highest of the sterile skyscrapers
Like packs of dogs assaulting the glass fronts of love-me avenue
Ripping and rewrapping mink and shiny silver fox, now legwarmers
Family badge of sapphire and cracked emerald, any day now
The year of

APPL isn't looking to replace gold's speculative value , bitcoin is, this is 1 small reason why bitcoin has more potential.
the market(s) bitcoin is after is much much bigger than what APPL is after.
99% of the savvy bit-coin investors are looking to replace Bill Gates as the world's richest man. Percentage of them likely to succeed is a somewhat smaller number. Otherwise, solid logic.

I don't see that in the article linked, and certainly not in the businessinsider source they link to. All it says is: "RBS is bearish on everything", which somehow is twisted into meaning they're "indirectly" advising investors to buy BTC. Does "indirectly" now mean "not at all" or did I miss something?
Read better, i'll give you a little help.
At the end of the article it starts with;

If you're suggesting what I think you're suggesting (and I think you are), that the Oxford Internet Institute is somehow involved in the conspiracy to cover-up the swelling zombie populations in places like South America, Africa and Asia, then I agree.
But what does Blockstream have to gain from all of this?
Blockstream absorbs Light and Hedons & excretes Darkness and Dolors. No point in anthropomorphizing it with phrases like "have to gain."
Just basic digestion of nice things and excretion of Hell on Earth, Blockstream simply

I wouldn't even know who Mike Hearn is if Core were doing their damn jobs. Blockstream is using an anti-spam kludge as an economic tool. They were never authorized by the owners (holders) or the employees (miners) to do so. They infect the network so they can sell us the cure. Mike Hearn wanted to bypass Core because Core IS the problem. This is the free market equivalent of regulatory capture.

Look at what you have done:
The only sneaky shills around here are people like you trying to undermine bitcoin with your garbage alt coin promotion. But, try as you like (and you certainly do), you will fail utterly and fortunately.

Mr. Ram Off Deutsche Bank says:
“As far as bitcoin as a future currency, I’m not sure whether universal adoption is a sure thing. The public seem most interested in the digitalization and convenience of new faster payment methods more than a change in the currency itself.”
I'm generally ok with the speed of payment. I truly take issue with some properties of the Fiat money, though. Especially with the fact that banks can lend it into existence out of thin air. I can see why someone from a bank would downplay the fact that I am probably not alone.
This is technically correct. It's also technically correct that Bitcoin miners could start mining a fork with 500BTC block rewards.
Why don't they do it? For the same reason Banksters don't print endless money out of thin air: because it's not in their enlightened self-interest to do so.

block size limit however should be removed alltogether.
People are conflating block size and block size limit so much, I've given up on it, I simply assume they are talking about the limit.

Using the 1MB limit to prevent centralization is like mangling your daughter's face to prevent her from being raped. It's an extremely high price to pay and it doesn't even work that well.
Nope, the 1MB limit is more like teaching your daughter to use self-discipline and situational awareness to avoid dangerous situations, and martial arts/marksmanship should an attempt be made.
Setting a huge block size and expecting spam tx to just go away is like dressing up in slutwear, blacking out drunk at a ghetto frat party, and hoping for the best.

I am genuinely looking forward to seeing what response you, brg444, icebreaker, hdbuck et al. provide for our entertainment if the network actually forks to classic and no disaster occurs. All that brazen supercilious venom spewed over the last year with potentially nothing to show for haha.
I'm glad you're finding it hilarious. I don't. Because I invested non-trivial portion of my portfolio into Bitcoin and I'd hate it all to go "poof!" if a hostile hard fork backfires and the net DOES split into two. Are you willing to bet ALL your BTC that this has a zero chance of happening? I would not be so sure.

The first rule of Bitcoin is: you always talk about Bitcoin.

What do you think of DECRED (influenced bitcoin) ?
Yeah, what you guys think about Decred? And the governance proposal to solve failures pointed out in the model of decisions taken by the Bitcoin community? Sincere and constructive opinions, please.
Decred, the Bitcoin alternative recently launched by former Bitcoin developers? The open and progressive cryptocurrency with a system of community-based governance integrated into its blockchain?
Are you seeking my opinion on the layered form of transparent meritocratic governance that extends beyond proof-of-work and proof-of-stake mechanisms to bring forward and represent insider and outsider voices in the community, in particular?
Or would you rather have me opine on its hybridized proof-of-work proof-of-stake consensus system to strike a balance between miners and voters and create a more robust notion of consensus?

Yes, Decred (DCR), not DeltaCredits (DCR)
Certainly nothing to sneeze at. I'm quite impressed by the choice of Blake-256 hashing algorithm, for instance. It's not vulnerable to many of the numerous security issues facing Merkle-Damgård construction-based hashing algorithms such as Bitcoin's SHA-256, which was recently declared unsafe by NSA & has been worrying me as of late.
How about yourself? Intrigued at all by Decred project being bound by the Decred Constitution on the core principles of finite issuance, privacy, security, fungibility, inclusivity, and progressive development of the technology that keeps these principles together?

What frightens me about Jeorge is he actually uses math in his reasoning
If only 10% of the bitcoin users are in the LN, and the other 90% are still using raw bitcoin, then (very roughly) only 1% of the bitcoin payments will be through the LN, 81% will be between two raw bitcoin users, and 18% will be between an LN user and a bitcoin user. The latter will require at least two on-chain transactions, to close a channel and reopen it. So the on-chain traffic will be 81% + 2 x 18% = 117% of what it would be if there was no LN.
That's sort of unsporting...

This doesn't give you the breakdown, which is most important. I have a node that is still running 0.8. It would be included in "Core" but it really shouldn't be.
Yeah, I'm just enjoying the growth chart. But let's give them the benefit of the doubt -- we don't need to stoop to
their level and start splitting hairs about what's core, what's unupdated core etc. I'm not trying to suggest that all nodes currently running Core are a vote against Classic -- no more than a box running Win 7 is a vote against 10.

The truth always comes out. When someone asks "When were you co-opted?" And you answer "a couple years ago" ...
How can you believe that Gavin has not been coerced when he openly admits it and - to my knowledge - has never explicitly denied it?
I would be overjoyed if Gavin were not compromised, he always seemed like "one of the good guys" -- if you could provide a link to a page where he explicitly denies any coercion I'd be grateful.
Dear batshit crazy fuck: That's how normal people react when an asshole unfit to lick their shoes asks them a question as bizarre and rudely inappropriate as that one.

It is almost impossible to know someone is a co-opted or an agent provocateur , and thus we should merely look at and review each others actions instead of assigning a likelihood. Hearn's actions are of high suspect, Gavin still appears to be genuine IMHO.

Right, or simply a mega factory mine which hasn't bought into the latest generation gear & is stuck with hangars already built out & running.
Unable to mine by the rules, so no longer invested in BTC, but able to form an axis of evol with other newly-obsoleted factory mines & wreak havoc

Well, each of us is likely going based on a feeling, and my feeling is that a hard fork is more dangerous than a soft fork, and I don't see any reason to do a hard fork, even based on the information that you just presented involving the potential (maybe even speculative) ability of supposedly "powerful forces" to push potentially unwanted changes via softfork.

ECONOMICS:
Money that is too good of a store of value becomes a poorer medium of exchange because people will hoard rather than spend. OTOH too much spending increases the velocity and effectively increases supply, making a poor store of value. MV=PQ. There has to be a delicate balance. Ideally this balance is not achieved by central banker intervention but by allowing currencies to compete.
Nonsense! The balance must be cranked all the way to "store of value" and what's more, algorithmically predetermined and inflexible, unwinding like a dunb clockwork forever and ever, blind & indifferent to economic changes.

I was thinking of marketing a companion product: A kit, consisting of an extension adapter similar to this
that you screw the mining bulb into, but here's the cool part: instructions on how to disassemble the mining light bulb, cut a couple of traces, and solder in a couple of jumpers, so that the miner stays on all the time, while you can shut off the light bulb with a string.
Chances of success are 100%, because combines immense "practicality" with DIY/hacker ethic.

Having more than 50% hashing power in one political jurisdiction creates a vulnerability the same way having more than 50% hashpower in one pool does. Douglas County, Washington has plenty of carbon neutral electricity for sale at less than 2 cents/kilowatthour.

Most of them understandably keep a low profile, but Jonathan Toomim's mine is there.

those are the stealth mines supplying the stealth investors (the ones paying x10 spot for clean BTC -- to accumulate off-the-books, under-the-radar, without causing slippage)!

Once that was done, he simply moved the full barrel onto the table, the [now] empty one to the floor, and repeat the process ad infinitum.

If barrel-siphoning was a requirement for making entries in a distributed ledger, than this would be a useful analogy.
If a [trustless] distributed ledger was as useful as some would have you believe, it *wouldn't* be a useful analogy.

Is it worth it to make the two dollar bill? No.
Is it worth it to provide a mechanism for creating, distributing, transferring and accounting for that two dollar bill for the next 40+ years? On a global scale? Providing trusted means of settlement between antagonistic nations? Whilst preventing any means of counterfeiting?
Yes.
But while you have paid for creating (a binary string), distributing (to miners), and transferring (for as long as the miners are interested in mining) you have not paid for accounting -- having it exist on the blockchain is far from accounting, ask your accountant.
And certainly not for the next 40 years -- why assume that Bitcoin will even exist in a year or two?
Of course, you were joshin' when you brought up "providing trusted means of settlement between antagonistic nations." No nation I know of transacts in BTC, other than paying an occasional ransom to an extortionist, like that douche that recently earned $17k by hacking a hospital & encrypting all the patient data. No nations transact in BTC, antagonistic or otherwise.
And, of course, a transaction is not simply sending the money in one direction. A transaction is only complete when the stuff you paid for arrives at your door. Shit ain't trustless if you want to buy a car from me, you send me your trustless money, and I take your money & show you my middle finger. You get no car. What now?
The reason that shit don't happen with fiat is we have jackbooted thugs to intervene on our part. Bitcoin? Well, you try to have "trusted escrows," but, judging by this forum, they tend to run away/screw you out of your money.

Also, if all US banks default, you got bigger problems than not being able to get at your fucking shekels -- gather whatever you got, spend on a nice Princess Stainless coffin, climb in & beat the rush.

Right. One of the first "balancing acts" would probably be the bankruptcy of a couple of nationstates (certain coercive schemes based on slavery and fraud).

Bitcoin: distributed decentralized money secured by cowardly miners concentrated in China. There is no plan or code to switch security measures if they get compromised.
Awesome. This is where I keep my life savings. I'm a fucking genius.
I've always assumed a majority of economically driven, rational miners.
Maybe that assumption is flawed.
Your loose definition of "economically driven," therin lies the rub.
First, it's not BTC the miners may be looking for (the FOOLS!) but USD. They don't necessarily keep the BTC they earn as BTC, but sell it immediately for filthy fiat. Now, if a gubermint bro pays them more to f8k bitcoin, they'll do that sooner than you can say "rational self interest." (because, unlike hodlers, not invested in BTC)
And, of course, China being Communist China, nationalizing them mines don't seem like much of a stretch, do it?
And once we start defining "economically driven" in terms of handing over the gear or getting driven to jail, well ...what we got there's one of them paradigm shifts :-

So your response is to call me a dumbass? That doesn't seem like a real answer. Do you have a logical answer to my concerns? Does anybody?
There is a difference between Bitcoin being uncensored and being censorship resistant. We are currently uncensored, but at the mercy of a government that will not allow banks in that country to even hold bitcoin accounts or allow their citizens to do anything with this currency except speculate on it. This is not exactly a huge selling point.
Yes, you're a dumbass. Bitcoin exists not at the mercy of some gov't, bitcoin exists
despite gov't or malicious actors.
Simple example for you: Alice wants to send money to Bob, but China won't allow it. China owns 90 percent of hash power so China is able to delay the transaction for nine out of ten blocks, but eventually the transaction goes through and Bob gets paid. It took 90 minutes instead of 10 minutes but still 3 days faster than bank ( actually, China controls 100% of bank, so... Yeah, that's censorship resistance.)
Wait, didn't you say Alice wanted to send money to Bob? How did the conversation switch to Bitcoin
P.S. No, you won't solve a block in 90 minutes with 10% of the hashing power. If the other 90% didn't exist (and you started with a valid block), you might (though good luck to Alice getting her TX included in the solved block lol).

Still going to keep more coins than most on this forum owns.. So not all gone. Just venting a bit. Frustrating to watch this project having so many clowns.. The terminology "weak hands" is a bit childish. We are not playing poker. Some of us have invested a lot of time to this, and for me it has been my main source of income the last 3 years. I could still make huuuge, I mean huuuuuuuuuge sums of fiat, trading. I have done so in the past. I moved a lot of coin out of Gox, days before the end. Only a network error at work prevented me from moving them back. I am happy that happened. I only had pocket lint on Gox in the end. So I am carefull.
Surely, the suggestion of "weak hands" is to communicate a perception, possibly even to suggest someone who is over invested for his/her own comfort level.. and your last post kind of came off in that way.
I don't see any reason to compete against anyone or to say, I have more coins than you, or I am smarter than you or everyone should do what I am doing... .. blah blah blah.
You are merely coming off as a bit emotional and you can increase or lessen your exposure to be more comfortable and even you can find some assets or investments in which you feel more comfortable in order to diversify a bit more. I doubt that bitcoin has ever been a very comfortable investment, and over invested in claiming some kind of quasi-rage quit over ongoing bitcoin politics and happenings. Surely, it does not hurt to pull a few coins off the table except when a person buys low and then unexpectedly the price goes up 10x or 100x and provides the investor with a sizeable profit cushion.. You can be both long and short in an investment and you can hedge and even to diversify a bit in order to feel more comfortable on a personal level... and that's a personal choice.
Yes, overall, you and others have become more and more frustrated, but frequently, they do not really know or realize the size of the explosion before it takes place...even very experienced and smart people, but I still think that there is a lot more of a glass half full situation in bitcoin at the moment rather than a glass half empty situation with decent upside potential.. but no matter what a need to spread out the risk and not to put all (or too much) of your eggs into the bitcoin basket is a good thing on a personal level.
Some people claim that they are smart.. blah blah blah.. whether you are right or wrong.. who really cares. Otherwise, in bitcoin there has been ongoing price manipulations in a variety of ways (especially easier with a smaller market cap), and in the end, it does not really matter that much as long as you are deciding for yourself or at least attempting to not overdo your investment in either direction in accordance with your own risk profile and view of the future politics and some of this competition for attention and manipulation in the space becomes more contentious because of some of the money and political interests in it, and the market cap remains fairly small (for now) and relatively easy to manipulate.. which is likely not going to change for some time into the future.
So, yeah.. go ahead and pull some out, if that makes you feel more comfortable... and we are taking our chances in such predictions and attempts at predictions. You are taking a risk and betting accordingly, and others in this space are also betting in various directions and degrees.... Some are going to be more correct than others.

Why Bitcoin's Decentralization Matters
Bitcoiners, from Bitcoin Core developers to long-time Bitcoin enthusiasts to recent /r/Bitcoin discoverers, love to talk about how Bitcoin’s decentralization is its ultimate feature. Rarely, however, do you see anyone explain why decentralization matters - surely it’s an interesting property from a computer science perspective, but why should consumers, businesses or investors care? This post is an attempt to write out why decentralization is foundational to Bitcoin’s utility ...

Initial Impression --
The Good - Thin blocks, Weak Blocks (Also Found in Core's roadmap)
The Bad - Advocating for SPV mining , which is a problem exacerbated by their Validate Once proposal, and pushing off the many benefits of Segwit till the end of the year
The Ugly - 3rd/4th Q 2016 adaptive rule for a block size limit that heavily incentivizes those with better bandwidth which would drive miners from China to locations with better bandwidth
and make many home mining operations obsolete because they cannot compete with the propagation times with larger operations who can afford better uplinks. There is no consideration for centralization concerns or the costs of nodes with this proposal which makes it a non-starter from the get go IMHO.
I can see this being the final nail in the home-mining coffin...

There is also hope/expectations that products will start to be released in the future to recycle heat from ASICs, that will than incentivize more mining at home.

Wealth is not linearly distributed but closer to logarithmic with a vast majority of wealth concentrated in a few hands (currently even dangerously so for civic stability considerations), the mainstream is not where wealth is concentrated so for a monetary adoption targeting the mainstream is a losing proposition.
Bitcoin doesn't necessarily need more transactions as much as higher value transactions, the value of a monetary network is not simply the number of connections but the total value of connections, i.e., number * value.
Because what the super-rich really crave is a dysfunctional p2p network at war with itself. They're just waiting for *all* the mining to become centralized in Communist China, and then there'll be no stopping those Wall St. institutional investors. It'll be bigger then Gemini!

Mine's funnier.
You might want to be a bit more nuanced when comparing arrogant fools. Billy Joe is often dead wrong, but that's more of a "warped" than "stupid" -- like having spectacular IQ and, at the same time, believing they're controlled by Saurian J00z or being a twisted murderer. The world's full of people like that (usually not that grotesque, but you know what I mean). They're often fun to hang out with, because have weird ways of seeing the world/interpreting problems, and, since they're smart, coming up with weird/unusual solutions.
Now, granted, some of the things they come up with interesting solutions for aren't really pressing problems, or, rather, are problems for a very small number of people. Examples would be monowheel, death camps/self-sustaining human incineration ovens, internet-enabled toasters, and decentralized money.
And the solutions are, typically, very clever. Pulse-jet powered, clockwork & gyro-guided cruise missiles, perpetual crematoria as revolutionary and efficient as the Bessemer converter -- ignore the "problems" being solved, and the solutions become absolutely brilliant!

What I meant to say was you're a fascinating, with much to proactively onboarding smart contract-transacting counterparties onto trustless blockchain technologies of our disruptive cryptospherical landscape space. Which is fast-paced and ever-evolving.

By "bounces," you mean "continues to nosedive," correct?

Nah, that's not basic economics, that's Beanie economics. If Exxon gasoline is in short supply, it doesn't mean it's suddenly more valuable & you can charge more at your Exxon gas station. There are alternatives -- people will simply switch to Shell.
Tacking on "That's basic economics" at the end only shows that you're yet to grasp basic economics.

Learn the difference between money and commodity and you'll know something about "basic economics".

Hey, this might work. Looks like the other thread turned into JJG observer.
Tell me about it. It's like he thinks TL;DR means "do go on!"
You just don't appreciate the mastery of his trolling. Take his avatar:
Now tell me he's not
gerund or present participle: trolling
1. informal
make[ing] a deliberately offensive or provocative online posting with the aim of upsetting someone or eliciting an angry response from them.
See?
You're instantly filled with rage, you can't even believe this much faggotry can be packed into a thumbnail just 80 pixels tall, the sort of gayness that makes Nijinsky look like Duke Nukem and yet ...nothing you can do, no rules have been broken
Same with his posts. Nothing you can quite put you finger on, but start reading and BAM!!! you suddenly *need* to bitchslap, the sort of base desire to educate through humiliation and pain you always thought the domain of playground toughs and inbred rednecks.
And being forced to accept that such unenlightened feels are still there, lying dormant in the depths of your psyche, makes you feel ...ewwy.
Flawless victory!

Captain Obvious here again:
The price increase was due to one or more entities simply purchasing BTC, they were not pumping the price as we normally see, they were accumulating all in one go; The reason the price faltered afterward.
0hai. That entity "accumulat[ed] all in one go"? Wonder if it knows how stupid "accumulating all in one go" in an illiquid market is?

Think past the obvious.......Now that your head is clear, formulate a query that actually shows you took some time to think....
Sry. Didn't mean to spoil your "one or more entities ... accumulating all in one go" fantasy. Of course they're accumulating, Sweetness! They want your Beanies so hard, why, they don't even care about slippage

Yes and no. He made serious scratch by pimping HashFast, but he also was upfront about being on HF payroll.
People got pissed once they figured out just how much he made.

Gee, I wonder where you fit in
Not sure, "Be slightly evil"? If you're thinking "sociopaths," those are the likes of Barry Shillbert/Danny Brewster in that article.
By that guy's thinking, Bitcoin is in the last death throes; 99% "mops," (~30% of those seeing themselves as "sociopaths"), and the rest disillusioned "creators" turned "sociopath"/"evils."
Everybody else is just green
Have you seen the chart?
It's a helluva start
It could be made into a monster
If we all pull together as a team
And did we tell you the name of the game, boy?
We call it 'riding the gravy train'
