It is up almost 10% in a day. That is a huge rise by all standards.. This pace we might see 400 on black Friday, makes your purchases really cheap if you got bitcoins before yesterday.

Title: Re: The Tide Is Turning Post by: Pollak on November 26, 2015, 11:02:44 AM Glad to see this happening.
We might hit $400 before black friday after all. We'll just have to wait and see, really excited to wake up to this.

OK I keep searching the news for another reason for the pump besides Black Friday but I can't find anything. Nobody really gave a convincing reason for the pump to 500, it just seemed to happen without any reason. I'm giving up expecting news to pump the price, it's like the news doesn't affect it.

What can I say people are lazy when it comes towards these type of things, I'm sure that there are a lot of individuals who are getting coins at the last minute just in case they want to get some goods, afterwards what people and merchants decide to do with their coins will depend. Although since part of that volume is Chinese and it's not singles day maybe the Chinese are interested in some online Bitcoin deals ha-ha Or MMM ponzi it continues lol.

Title: Re: The Tide Is Turning Post by: dragonseer on November 26, 2015, 11:58:58 AM The Tide is Turning you say..
Here is Gavin Andresen to the rescue, ready to pimp Bitcoin XT for another round with it's upgrade path and blacklists. The Coinbase CEO and Roger Ver will surely be behind it as well. And Gold is going down! That's the thing that China and other BRICS countries have been buying.. While the US has largely depleted it's reserves on the sly. No way Chinese mining farms will get behind Bitcoin XT, and neither should the community. Anyway, it will be easy to trade for the next while, now you know the price will be driven by how close the XT fork is to being implemented. And if you want to feel like a superhero as you're 'sticking it to the bankers', just get a chip implanted for NFC payments!! Title: Re: The Tide Is Turning Post by: mixan on November 26, 2015, 12:02:20 PM yes tide is rising again not much but hope will die last It already has and it is not the end of day for another 12 hours ::)pass over 340 expect to see it over 350 by end of day Set that reach to $400 now. Title: Re: The Tide Is Turning Post by: afbitcoins on November 26, 2015, 12:07:29 PM Has XT not gone away yet?
So what happens if XT diverges from bitcoin, do you have the same number of bitcoins on two different blockchains suddenly. Sorry for noobish question but I don't really understaned the repercussions. Title: Re: The Tide Is Turning Post by: Patatas on November 26, 2015, 12:11:15 PM Looks like we're hitting that rocket-high Black Friday rate soon!

There is talk in other threads that the next target is 285, and probably 400 after that. During the pump to 500 it went up 100 dollars in about 8 hours, so it's possible for the price to sail through target after target in less than half a day. Reaching 400 before the end of today seems possible. Title: Re: The Tide Is Turning Post by: dragonseer on November 26, 2015, 12:24:30 PM Has XT not gone away yet?

Sorry for noobish question but I don't really understaned the repercussions. Most agree that it's not wanted or needed.. Similarly though, people didn't want to launch an invasion of Iraq either and that happened regardless. Technically, I believe that if 70% of nodes are running XT, then the network has forked. So even if you don't update your client, the new network is in effect. This new network maintains a blacklist (connections are blocked if they come from a TOR network, however, this blacklist can be updated so your coins will be not be able to be transacted out of your wallet if the maintainers put you on their naughty list) and that is why it is such a horrible thing to do to Bitcoin, which is non-discriminatory in nature.

The price is up 10% in a day, that's great! Bitfinex even reached $369.90 today. I think it's now time for some traders to secure profits before we can advance further. Let's see if this attempt can make it to $400 in the comming days.

Thanks for the reply I agree XT doesn't appeal to me either. I didn't know that about blacklisting TOR connections though. But I'm still unclear about what happens to the bitcoins in your wallet in practical laymans terms. Say they get more than 70% of network and fork to XT. What does that actually mean? Does that mean you have to download an XT wallet to be able to use your bitcoins ? What happens to the ones on the old core wallet ?

The Bitcoins in the old core wallet have to be 'approved' by the new network. If XT goes ahead and you don't like it, you will have to abandon ship. Think of it like a validation layer, while the 'blocksize' stuff is just there to justify this takeover. Edit: One possiblity is that if XT is about to go ahead, the Core developers may release an update, so if you want to stick with 'traditional' Bitcoin, then you will have two blockchains splitting off. You will have plenty of warning if that is the case.

Dash has built in governance, masternode operators will vote on any such changes. Additionally developers have a budget paid by the blockchain. Much more democratic much better position to grow from.

He has met with both the CIA as well as the Council on Foreign Relations. I very much doubt that the CFR video conference with Gavin that we were shown was the only event that took place. He certainly was spoken to by leadership behind the scenes. A meeting must have taken place.
