Title: Bitcoin days of observance Post by: belcher on May 30, 2016, 05:51:25 PM It could be interesting to have a list of Bitcoin days of observance. A bit like those "On This Day" segments where people reflect on history for 5 minutes.

See also (https://twitter.com/Mario_Gibney/status/943943635132866561). 28th November 2012 - First bitcoin halvening (https://blockchain.info/block/000000000000048b95347e83192f69cf0366076336c639f9b7228e9ba171342e) 12 December 2010 - Satoshi's last public contact (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2228.msg29479#msg29479) Title: Re: Bitcoin days of observance Post by: LadangGalau on May 30, 2016, 05:54:12 PM The ATH, at the end of November 2013 and the past halving as well as the one to come soon are good options to add too.
Title: Re: Bitcoin days of observance Post by: belcher on May 30, 2016, 05:56:44 PM Doh, forgot about the first halving
here it is https://blockchain.info/block/000000000000048b95347e83192f69cf0366076336c639f9b7228e9ba171342e 28th November 2012 Any price movements and ATHs could become out of date one day. They don't have the staying power of something like the Genesis Block Day IMO. edit: second halvening too on 9th July 2016 https://blockchain.info/block/000000000000000002cce816c0ab2c5c269cb081896b7dcb34b8422d6b74ffa1 Title: Re: Bitcoin days of observance Post by: sbtctalk on May 30, 2016, 05:58:55 PM How many Bitcoins could be mined in each block before the very first halving?
Title: Re: Bitcoin days of observance Post by: belcher on May 30, 2016, 06:00:02 PM How many Bitcoins could be mined in each block before the very first halving? 50 bitcoins. Right now we're in the era of 25 bitcoins per block and in a few weeks that will half to 12.5 btc Title: Re: Bitcoin days of observance Post by: The Sceptical Chymist on May 30, 2016, 06:00:23 PM Public holidays are fucking stupid and should be repealed. All of them. And faces of human beings should be eliminated from our currency. This is why I like Peace Dollars and similar coins. If I have to look at George Washington's ugly grill one more time, I'm going to vomit. Bitcoin solves that problem. But we definitely don't need bitcoin holidays.
Title: Re: Bitcoin days of observance Post by: crairezx20 on May 30, 2016, 06:01:53 PM Those are the events for bitcoin and the next even for bitcoin is the block halving in this july 10 2016..
Or are holidays for bitcoins Title: Re: Bitcoin days of observance Post by: LadangGalau on May 30, 2016, 06:04:11 PM Doh, forgot about the first halving here it is https://blockchain.info/block/000000000000048b95347e83192f69cf0366076336c639f9b7228e9ba171342e 28th November 2012 Any price movements and ATHs could become out of date one day. They don't have the staying power of something like the Genesis Block Day IMO. Oh because he intented these days to become holidays ? I though it was just a list. The ATH is valid, according to me, because it is a kind of mythical cap for near three years. Title: Re: Bitcoin days of observance Post by: sambiohazard on May 30, 2016, 06:04:22 PM Mt.Gox day - The day it officially closed,
The Hearnia Event. Start of the False Battle (XT/Classic) False Revelation I & II (Dorian/Wright) Parity Day (1BTC = $1) For future Peter Wuille/SegWit Day Lightening Day Title: Re: Bitcoin days of observance Post by: LadangGalau on May 30, 2016, 06:09:07 PM Mt.Gox day - The day it officially closed, The Hearnia Event. Start of the False Battle (XT/Classic) False Revelation I & II (Dorian/Wright) Parity Day (1BTC = $1) For future Peter Wuille/SegWit Day Lightening Day Nice ones ! Maybe you could add the last day of presence of Satoshi Nakamoto on the forum.

The ATH is valid, according to me, because it is a kind of mythical cap for near three years. If the price continues rising the $1100 ATH will look to them the way the $0.36 ATH looks to us today. But it's all voluntary so do what you want. Title: Re: Bitcoin days of observance Post by: belcher on May 30, 2016, 06:12:40 PM Nice ones ! Maybe you could add the last day of presence of Satoshi Nakamoto on the forum. Good one. His last post was December 12, 2010 and someone was already celebrating it (https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1sq4tf/satoshis_last_post_was_3_years_ago_today/) Title: Re: Bitcoin days of observance Post by: LadangGalau on May 30, 2016, 06:15:37 PM Doh, forgot about the first halving here it is https://blockchain.info/block/000000000000048b95347e83192f69cf0366076336c639f9b7228e9ba171342e 28th November 2012 Any price movements and ATHs could become out of date one day.

But it's all voluntary so do what you want. I doubt that that we will go to something like 2000$ this summer. Before that cap, the ATH wouldn't be really broke. Title: Re: Bitcoin days of observance Post by: ~Bitcoin~ on May 30, 2016, 06:19:10 PM Doh, forgot about the first halving how can newly generated coin be 38 btc on halving as reward shows 25 btc block reward in this transaction https://blockchain.info/tx/76a30f7eefb41cd01733b23218faea8a1a1a2f6bbf1a2c11e4bc77f62c8e7ce9here it is https://blockchain.info/block/000000000000048b95347e83192f69cf0366076336c639f9b7228e9ba171342e 28th November 2012 Any price movements and ATHs could become out of date one day. They don't have the staying power of something like the Genesis Block Day IMO. which is in the same above block. ??? Title: Re: Bitcoin days of observance Post by: belcher on May 30, 2016, 06:20:15 PM Transaction fees for that block are 13.56295554 BTC
Looks like a lot of people paid to have their transactions inside that special block Title: Re: Bitcoin days of observance Post by: LadangGalau on May 30, 2016, 06:21:18 PM Transaction fees for that block are 13.56295554 BTC Looks like a lot of people paid to have their transactions inside that special block That's the only explanation I can figure, because there's no other possibility since Bitcoin is bug-free. Title: Re: Bitcoin days of observance Post by: sambiohazard on May 30, 2016, 06:24:28 PM When was this forum created? maybe that could be a day too. BCT Day
When first mining pool started - Pool Mining Day When hashrate reached 1MH/GH/TH/PH/EH. I am looking at this as attempt to capture all the major historic/future events.

BCT Day When first mining pool started - Pool Mining Day When hashrate reached 1MH/GH/TH/PH/EH. I am looking at this as attempt to capture all the major historic/future events. Nice ideas. I also suggest the day of the first ASIC introduction (announcement, sale or mining, whatever you want). Title: Re: Bitcoin days of observance Post by: belcher on May 30, 2016, 06:30:00 PM Good idea, we could add when reddit.com/r/bitcoin was created
I found this which has the earliest-known threads there on 12/8/2010 https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2fejsy/are_these_the_first_rbitcoin_posts_ever/ There can also be the dates of enforcement of other soft forks 14th December 2015 - BIP65 (OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY) 4th July 2015 - BIP66 (strict DER signatures) https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/38436/when-did-bip66-switch-from-activation-to-enforcement Title: Re: Bitcoin days of observance Post by: BitcoinPenny on May 30, 2016, 06:32:35 PM Pretty cool idea, belcher. Thanks! :)

From the list of all that's the most important 8).
