No, but GoxUSD sure is...
Bitcoins - not even Gox can dirty them.

While all miners work from the most recently discovered block (think of it as the "original" block), the selfish mining process begins when a pool of miners discovers a new block and doesn't publish it. The selfish pool then begins working on discovering yet another block, mining from this hidden one. Meanwhile, the rest of the "honest" miners are still wasting resources mining from the original block.
Can you mine FROM a "hidden" block? This makes no sense to me.
Sure, you can mine a block, not publish it, and continue mining. But unless your pool has 51% of the network, the odds are the rest of the network will invalidate the block you are hiding, and then you've just lost a block and have to start over. It does nothing to harm the network, just yourself.

With all due respects, some of us find the more creative trolls mildly amusing. Ignore me if you want for quoting them but I'll continue not ignoring anyone, trolls included.
Creative trolls can be interesting. Just spamming "crash incoming" several times every page is not creative.

If this bubble can reach $1k, will it promptly create a crash from all of the sellers at that price point? Or will it begin much sooner ($500)?
The more it goes up, the less I want to sell.

It apparently is related to mining pools dumping there nice new coins directly onto the exchange. So apparently with minted coin, they need 100 confirmations before they can be spent? So he mixes your transfer out with the new mints, and presto...you are stuck waiting 3 days for your coins...
The solution is trivial. 2 hot wallets. All deposits go into one wallet, then when matured, then transfer to the other wallet. All withdrawls come out of the second hot wallet. Problem solved.

At the moment it feels kinda bad, waiting for cheaper prices (post crash) to buy some coins.
I'm a little afraid the price will go straight to $x,000 and never come back, with me never having bought any Bitcoins.
Right, so don't go all-or-nothing. Buy some now, and if it does go down buy more. If it goes up, you'll be glad you at least have some.

Not sure if your intention is to argue for or against me, but that exactly shows why the 7 tps limit is by design (thus should not be removed to ensure decentralization, another key point in bitcoin design) and makes it impossible for it to compete with credit card companies.
Who says bitcoin is competing with credit card companies? They both serve very different purposes.

Gox has problems, but they always sort them out- supposidly the larger you are a client, the faster they sort things out too. :-)
Gox is a USD black hole. USD can't get out. The problem started 6 months ago, and it's just getting worse.

You don't see too many posts gloating about they sold at the top and rebought at the bottom.
Trading fees really eat into your profits when taking advantage of small swings, so you gotta wait for the bigger swings. I sold at 1035 and rebought at 930. Btcchina's no-fee trading sure looks attractive.

When the crash comes, I think not many in the forum is buying. After going to $2k and crashing to $1k, would you really buy? Everybody is shitless by then. It is completely at the mercy of the new money then.
Dude, when it crashes from $1220 to $1200 I buy. Of course I'd buy if it went from $2000 to $1000!

To me it looks like flat periods at the x10 lines for a few months, then run up to the next x10. Flat at .1, 1, 10, 100, and now flat at 1k. Let it settle for a month or two around 1k, then it'll jump up to the next, at 10k.

To spice up a little: Is anyone willing to accept a $10,000-$100,000 escrowed bet that Bitstamp will hit $500 before hitting $1,000?
What odds? I am thinking that $1,000 is much more probable but I am willing to take the other side if odds good enough.
Really no one is jumping on this?
Why bet on market movement against someone who can move the market?

Exactly. The presence of AltCoins has about as much effect on Bitcoins as Zimbabwe dollars effect US dollars. It doesn't matter how many Trillion Altcoins are out there, they aren't accepted at LamboNB, they aren't accepted at Gyft, they aren't accepted at Overstock, they aren't accepted at TigerDirect, etc.

So much for bitcoin protecting us from greedy and unscrupulous bankers.
I don't know what you're talking about. My bitcoins are 100% safe from anyone else, including bankers, etc. If people send their bitcoins to someone else to hold, then they don't have bitcoins anymore. Since they don't have bitcoins anymore, they're not safe anymore.

With only 37 millions transactions in the blockchain and with the number of daily one being constant from may last year between the 50-70k range...
I doubt there are that many bitcoin users or HODLERS.
Assuming 1 million users, at 70k transactions per day, that means the average bitcoin user makes 2 transactions per month. That seems plausible.

Note that the percent changes (not increases) from year to year were
2011 -> 2012 300%
2012 -> 2013 3024%
2013 -> 2015 314%
Neither constant, not uniformly increasing.
What will be the percent change 2014 -> 2015?
The simplest formula that will fit the three data points above is a parabola. Working in log scale, this is what I get:

Then you must really love Bitcoin. CPUs in 2010 where .1 J/MH, and now just 4 years later we're running ASICS at 1 J/GH. That's an efficiency improvement of 1,000,000% in just 4 years. Where else do you see such massive improvements in efficiency?

There is one idea in crypto-currency that is unquestionably good, but most parts of the bitcoin protocol are "good" only if one subscribes to the libertarian dogma that banks and governments are evils to be removed.
Where do you get these crazy ideas? There's nothing in Bitcoin that is incompatible with banks or governments.

It is a much more lucrative and "safe" vehicle for scams than the classical ones -- stolen credit cards, counterfeit cash, phony viagra, nigerian heirlooms, penny stocks, ponzi funds, ...
Wrong. Do you even have any idea how profitable just credit card fraud is? The credit card fraud in a single year alone absolutely dwarfs the entire bitcoin ecosystem. And this goes on every year, non stop. You obviously have no clue what you're talking about. Credit cards basically have their private keys printed on the front of the card. Every time you use a credit card you are at risk of having it stolen. Bitcoin actually reduces fraud. You can purchase anything from anywhere, and not ever risk your private key being taken during the purchase. A merchant can accept bitcoin from any customer throughout the world and never have to worry about chargebacks.

Shit. Someone quoted you and I saw another one of your idiotic answers.
Bitcoin market cap: $7B
Credit card fraud just last year alone: $11B
Fact: more money is lost in a single year due to credit card fraud.
And concerning your further idiotic estimates, it doesn't matter how much Bitpay claims to process. Bitpay is one very small piece of the bitcoin world. blockchain.info estimates nearly 100 million processed
per day. And that's only counting actual on-chain transactions. There are countless more off-chain transactions. Your 400 million per year is just more of your bullshit. It's more like 100x that much.

Someone please correct me if I am wrong here, but I think the 100million/day figure includes change outputs from transactions.
Blockchain.info attempts to remove change. It's not perfect, but I think it does give a decent ballpark.
Similar to the total output volume with the addition of an algorithm which attempts to remove change from the total value. This may be a more accurate reflection of the true transaction volume.

Feel free to browse my extensive post history. I was posting here when Satoshi was still active. The goal posts have never moved. Sign a genesis block msg. Trivial for Satoshi to do and *everyone* can verify it.
He has provided proof to the most respected leaders of bitcoin:
They were tricked. Have you never seen a magician? Do not believe the "proof" from secret meetings.
How about showing some respect for Dr. Wright's privacy?

I'm Sorry.
I believed that I could do this. I believed that I could put the years of anonymity and hiding behind me. But, as the events of this week unfolded and I prepared to publish the proof of access to the earliest keys, I broke. I do not have the courage. I cannot.
When the rumors began, my qualifications and character were attacked. When those allegations were proven false, new allegations have already begun. I know now that I am not strong enough for this.
I know that this weakness will cause great damage to those that have supported me, and particularly to Jon Matonis and Gavin Andresen. I can only hope that their honour and credibility is not irreparably tainted by my actions. They were not deceived, but I know that the world will never believe that now. I can only say I'm sorry.

Don't be stupid. There is a major difference between selling at a 'small' loss (i.e., just in the red), vs. selling for nothing. Mining costs absolutely do put a floor on what miners will be willing to sell coins on the market. The floor was around 200 just last fall, and was tested multiple times. Now hashrate has risen significantly since then.
And with the new higher-efficiency miners coming, the electricity cost to produce a bitcoin is about 10% of its current value. We're way above the potential price floor. This current rally is going to cause a lot of new miners to come online and drive the difficulty way up.

How many of those big miners who mine the majority of coins actually sell them?
Probably most, or they won't be a miner for long. With difficulty always increasing, miners need to be continually investing in new hardware. Big miners have low hosting costs, so most of their profit is going to be re-invested in hardware, and not much is going to be left for savings.

Almost none. If you have the patience and the right spot to put them in they're the most secure way to store coins. The fact that they can easily be damaged is avoided if you keep it in a very cool, dark spot like a locked desk. None of the malware shit and also very good looking and presentable if you print a good design
Mine was printed on a laser printer, stuffed in a waterproof baggie, put in a waterproof pelican case, stored in a fireproof safe.

Sure you can, it happens all the time in buyouts and mergers.

Then it occurred to me the external hd where I have the blockchain is a very old 640gb Samsung, with a usb 2.0 port. And it occurred to me I would never be able to run a bitcoin node again, if it were to increase block size, since 2mb would be only the beginning of a long centralization process.
Even 5 years from now, with 2MB blocks, you'd still fit the blockchain on that old hard drive. I don't think Bitcoin should be limited by what runs on 15 year old hardware.

Anyhow, once folks really get some concrete ideas about bitcoin's divisibility and the understanding that you can buy 1/1hundred millionth of a BTC, and maybe there is some more wider practices of pricing in lower level (smaller) units, then it is likely going to take some time to get people to understand some of these unit confusion matters.

Just download it to your phone, add bitcoin, choose "sweep wallet" and read the QR code, and it's in your wallet, repeat with all the other paper wallets you have. Then add the shitcoin of your choosing and do it all over again.

The real question is, the minimum fee we can pay is 1 sat, there is nothing less than 1 sat, right?
No one answered this question. The minimum fee that is less than 1 sat is zero.
Yes, zero fee is a valid transaction, but very few nodes will relay the transaction, and very few miners will include it in their blocks, so you almost never see them these days.
214.
Post 24705727 (copy this link) (by Syke) (scraped on 2020-04-04_Sat_15.27h):
If the transaction is valid, every node will broadcast it. The miners may not include it in a block, if there are transactions in the queue with a non-zero fee, especially while the mempool is over capacity for the next block. As soon as there is free space in the next block, zero fee transaction will get through - of course, the chance to empty the mempool below capacity is in question these days :-)
You must be an old-timer. That's the old code. The new code most nodes are running requires a 1 sat/byte fee for them to broadcast the transaction.

Bitmain, Spondoolies, etc. sent out demo units that proved they were real with real specs. If Halong Mining won't do that, I'd consider that a deal-breaker red-flag.

He may have lost some at gox, but he was in actual control of his big stash, so that wouldn't have gone down with gox.

A bigger problem though is transaction clearing time, I just moved a bit to buy some equipment before end of year (tax deductible and I need this stuff) and it still hasn't confirmed.
If this keeps up I may have to use Litecoin.
Mempool is growing bigtime. Make sure to include a good fee for quick confirmation.

This rally has exposed, to me, the utter state of shambles the "major Bitcoin exchanges" are in for handling a level of action over $1M USD for personal accounts.
Talk about 0.1%'er problems, huh ?
Frankly, I'm really upset with how long it's taking me to get acknowledgements that it's "safe" for me to proceed at the level of play I'm looking for, at the various exchanges I'm "validated" at.

A bad time to invest in BitcoinOctober 8th, 2017
Back in 2013 I urged people to invest in Bitcoin.
Yesterday someone asked my cleaning lady to invest in Bitcoin.
Now if someone had asked her to accept payment in Bitcoin, or send payment in Bitcoin, then this would be compelling evidence that one should invest in Bitcoin.
But when cleaning ladies are asked to invest in Bitcoin, not a good investment.
When Bitcoin began, everyone was a miner, and everyone was a peer, everyone stored the entire blockchain. Which was great, but did not scale. And now people are struggling with half assed ideas about how to get it to scale. Bitcoin can no longer deliver on its original promises, has not figured out what new promises to make, and many of the new promises are unworkable, or are scams, or are likely to turn into scams.
When that blog was posted the price was ~$5k. Now it's ~$17k. I hope the cleaning lady took the "other" person's advice to invest.

Bitcoin isn't currently practical for very small micropayments...not things needing to pay less than 0.01.

Pot on the other hand is harmless. I ate two bars of chocolate with a friend once (one each). One bar had 16 segments of which one segment was enough to floor a casual smoker. Needless to say, we were pretty much immobilized and just spent the following ~12h+ listening to music and watching Youtube. Would definitely repeat.
Same here. I ate a whole bag of pot popcorn. I was gone for a solid 24h. After, no hangover or anything bad. Not a fan of smoking so I stick with edibles. 100% safe stuff.

But if the victim is accepting 0 conf, then the attack will likely succeed unless the victims node is particularly well connected
You only get the coins if someone mines a block with the transaction giving you the coins. So roughly speaking, if your node is better connected (with higher power miners) than the victim's node you have a good chance of winning.

As a world traveler I was able to keep my bitcoins on Bitfinex even though they didn't allow US users.
The requirements by exchanges and the regulations they're trying to avoid revolve around US residents, not US citizens.
If he is outside of the US long enough and stays in one place long enough he can establish residency outside of the US and be fine.

This is Craig Wright, pretending to be Satoshi again. Apparently, he managed to sign a message with Hal Finney's private key, somehow. (Edit: or he might've pulled up an old Hal Finney signature)
The scuttlebutt is that he signed it in a non-standard way, kind of like when he "signed" a message as Satoshi to convince Gavin that he's Satoshi.
This is the real mystery, the @satoshi twitter handle "Joined May 2018". How in the world did squatters not nab that one earlier?
And yeah, without a publicly released signed message signed with the private key from block 0, he's not Satoshi. It's that simple.

[qoute]For the past weeks, we have worked extensively to address our liquidity issues, which include attempting to locate and secure our very significant cryptocurrency reserves held in cold wallets, and that are required to satisfy customer cryptocurrency balances on deposit, as well as sourcing a financial institution to accept the bank drafts that are to be transferred to us. Unfortunately, these efforts have not been successful. Further updates will be issued after the hearing.
Oh my..this doesnt sound good. How the hell do you lose the cold wallets?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idiot_defenseThe term was popularized as a result of a number of high-profile corporate accounting scandal defendants claiming that all wrongdoing was performed by others, without the defendant's knowledge or consent. Attorneys for these defendants claimed that their skill was in valuation and deal-making, and that they lacked the training to recognize fraudulent accounting practices they claimed that they would have needed. However, in many cases the defendants' subordinates testified that the defendants ordered them to falsify the accounts.

No, 2FA is simply two ways to authenticate, usually a password and a generated code. My 2FA encryption key is stored offline, and I have a backup 2FA offline device. If my primary device dies, and can easily set up a new primary device safely knowing that nothing has been compromised. If my primary device is stolen, I can use my backup device to deactivate my online 2FA codes and setup fresh new ones.

So fuck your attempts to categorize attacks on the bitcoin blockchain as legitimate uses just because they are paying fees.

The arbitrage with Bitcoin to fiat is very risky. First, Bitfinex is nothing like the US exchanges (which are under the supervision of SEC) and is known with their "hacks" and "bank problems". This means your money can be stolen and you can't do anything about it. Second: if you buy at Bitstamp and transfer the Bitcoins to Bitfinex, you have to wait several hours during which time the price may dip.
Yeah, to do that effectively, you need to hold balances in both places so that you can execute instantly. Definitely risky.

The first one that a lot of people will probably jump to is that we simply wait for the boomers to die and then everything will be fine after that. Not going to happen. Things always change, and always towards the left over time.

I have been driving both cars and trucks for a living for almost twenty years, so I know how important it is to be in control of the vehicle, there are many tricky situations that I would never trust the car/truck with. Having said that, I don't mind letting the car drive when my control is not needed, but I do want that to bee my choice.
That's cuz you're thinking in today's technology. 20 years ago, Quake II was state of the art. 20 years from now, I don't want it to be your choice, because you'll be the one causing accidents. You cannot compete with computer vision technology.

It's all theoretical, as I never divorced.
Oh, sure, there's downsides as well as upsides, but I meant more in a moral sense. Being divorced doesn't make you a bad person. A country's divorce rate doesn't make the country a bad place.

Satoshi knew that once he slipped that blocksize limit into the core client, it would be there forever, and become the de facto standard in all bitcoin software implementations. That's why Garzik and the others were opposed to it at the time. Satoshi said that it was temporary, but he knew enough about game theory to realize 1MB blocks would become a Schelling Point within the bitcoin network if it was left in the core client long enough.
That's simply not true. You're claiming to know the mind of Satoshi in direct opposition with his public statements.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1347.msg15139#msg15139We can phase in a change later if we get closer to needing it.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1347.msg15366#msg15366It can be phased in, like:
if (blocknumber > 115000)
maxblocksize = largerlimit
It can start being in versions way ahead, so by the time it reaches that block number and goes into effect, the older versions that don't have it are already obsolete.
When we're near the cutoff block number, I can put an alert to old versions to make sure they know they have to upgrade.

Go for it! Bacon, eggs, cheese, steak, etc, mmmmmm. But understand it may take a few weeks until your metabolism fully adjusts, so be patient. Wine can definitely fit in a well-managed keto diet, with around 4g carbs for a good dry wine. You can save another carb or two with a very dry champagne. For me, it's sipping on some good old whiskey, 0 carbs. But be careful, alcohol hits much harder when you're in ketosis.

I could be wrong but I will keep my principle to stay away from FOMO, and keep my patience to be safe and have better chances. Months ago, no one believed that bitcoin would even drop to $6,000, but it actually dropped deeper than that range. From now on, I will keep waiting (taking profits of rest of my bitcoin, and waiting for chances to buy back).
Current bull run is more like 3 months. There's plenty of fuel left in the rockets.

Other than the fact that Satoshi's original release had no set limit on block size. Well, there is that.
No explicit limit, but other parts of the protocol limited the blocks to 32MB.

Would transaction throughput increase with block size?
Yes.
Would confirmation times remain the same?
Mostly yes. Network efficiency will degrade, but difficulty will adjust to mostly compensate.

What is more likely is that several computers or servers were used to mine the first million coins. Since there were no pools, each mined coin comes from a wallet on different computers.
Multiple computers can all use the same wallet. But the nonces on the blocks indicate that they came from a single "system" that was very fast, probably some sort of pool-like configuration.

How is that inconsistent with low difficulty on a single laptop?
Even if multiple machines, which I doubt, I don’t know how you can say with confidence that sequential nonces aren’t just crappy code shared by all machines. To state the bleeding obvious, if all clients count their nonces starting at “1”, and then “1 + 1” etc, your blockchain will have a series of nonces counting in order.
None of this pool conspiracy theory makes any sense.
Early analysis implied that Satoshi was running many computers. I missed seeing a later update that fits more in line with a quad-core desktop miner:

FSD is their terminology, not mine:
https://www.tesla.com/model3/design#autopilotStarting today, Tesla is splitting Autopilot into two packages: regular Autopilot, with automatic steering on highways and traffic-aware cruise control; and Full Self-Driving Capability, with Tesla’s recently unveiled “Navigate on Autopilot” feature that guides the car from “on-ramp to off-ramp” by suggesting and making lane changes, navigating highway interchanges, and proactively taking exits.
https://www.theverge.com/2019/2/28/18245370/tesla-autopilot-full-self-driving-musk-2019it's just marketing lingo. Most people get it, but they should not have been able to use this language.
I love Tesla and their technology, but that does not seem wise to be calling it that. When lives are on the line, you underpromise and overdeliver, not the other way around.

Damn that's a bullish chart. Although the raw bitcoin supply is growing, long-term hodlers are growing faster. That means the net supply available on the market is shrinking.

If you buy a ship like this you can occasionally rent it out. They go for $425,000 a week so rent it out 10-20 weeks a year and your running costs are zero.
I think you would need to be a billionaire to do something like this.
So if you hold 1 BTC you need to wait 10 years
If anyone gets a ship like that don't forget to host a WO party 🤪😇
Sounds like a crowdfunding is in order. Rent it out for half the year to cover maintenance, then the owners get to use it for half a year. #BitcoinYacht.

I could take the time to break down all his ignorance, but I will not. I will say I am a distance cyclist, and once I got my salts right (you actually have to make sure you get enough salt so your blood pressure does not drop too far when you are keto) I had no problems with my 50m+ rides. In fact many endurance athletes on KETO are breaking their PRs and even taking 1st place in ultras and other long races.
The simple fact is refined carbohydrates are bad, in general, for human beings. One does not need to be KETO to improve their life but just cut out sugar and refined carbs completely. All things in moderation.
Keto is great for endurance. Normal people have so much energy stored as fat. Once your metabolism adapts to burning fat, endless energy!

Sitting President just retweeted we should have negative interest rates. Its time to stop thinking of the run to 100k and just accept the fact that this Bull Run may not end till we get to 1 million.
There's probably no one in the country with more debt than Trump. Of course he wants negative rates to benefit himself, not the country. Negative rates are not sustainable.

https://collapseos.org/Bootstrap post-collapse technology
Winter is coming and Collapse OS aims to soften the blow. It is a z80 kernel and a collection of programs, tools and documentation that allows you to assemble an OS that can:
Run on minimal and improvised machines.
Interface through improvised means (serial, keyboard, display).
Edit text files.
Compile assembler source files for a wide range of MCUs and CPUs.
Read and write from a wide range of storage devices.
Replicate itself.
Pointless. There's no way all computers are going to be destroyed, but millions of z80 cpus will be fine and salvageable. That's just a crazy scenario. Now, designing a new post-apocalypse cpu that could be created from low-tech sources and an os to go with it, that's a good idea.
