Title: Meni's Blog - Fiery Spinning Sword Post by: Meni Rosenfeld on October 02, 2013, 09:09:26 PM I have started a new blog, Fiery Spinning Sword (http://fieryspinningsword.com). It will be mostly about Bitcoin stuff. You are welcome to visit.
Still playing around with the design. Title: Re: Meni's Blog - Fiery Spinning Sword Post by: Meni Rosenfeld on October 02, 2013, 09:09:52 PM List of posts (possibly incomplete):

That's exactly what I thought ;) Title: Re: Meni's Blog - Fiery Spinning Sword Post by: Come-from-Beyond on October 07, 2013, 01:41:57 PM A bitcoin coin should be yellow. A blue one looks like a negative image. Is there any hidden meaning in a blue bitcoin coin?

Thanks!a bit of a quite poetic blog title for such a cold technical subject, ain't it? Who said anything about cold?A bitcoin coin should be yellow. A blue one looks like a negative image. Is there any hidden meaning in a blue bitcoin coin? There's no "hidden" meaning, there's an obvious meaning - blue and white are the colors of the Israeli flag, and the blue-and-white Bitcoin is the logo of Bitcoil, the first (though currently inactive) Israeli Bitcoin exchange service. I've used it as my avatar on the Bitcoin forum for over two years, and by now it's also identified as my personal avatar.Title: Re: Meni's Blog - Fiery Spinning Sword Post by: ColdHardMetal on October 07, 2013, 02:37:54 PM Title: Re: Meni's Blog - Fiery Spinning Sword Post by: Meni Rosenfeld on November 22, 2013, 09:48:20 AM New post - Naive views of financial markets (http://fieryspinningsword.com/2013/11/22/naive-views-on-financial-markets/).

like the idea of the blue and white representative colors Title: Re: Meni's Blog - Fiery Spinning Sword Post by: sexydh80 on February 25, 2014, 03:03:18 PM I have time will go to your blog to see what you wrote some articles about the currency

Title: Re: Meni's Blog - Fiery Spinning Sword Post by: tvbcof on August 24, 2015, 11:17:29 PM How I learned to stop worrying and love the fork (http://fieryspinningsword.com/2015/08/25/how-i-learned-to-stop-worrying-and-love-the-fork/) (I might cross-post that as a thread here). Sweet! This is pretty much exactly what I've been saying since the flare-up near the beginning of 2015 and I'm happy to see some confirmation (though it's not exactly rocket-science and I'm sure that other's have thought up the same thing.) Since you are a master at mining tech, could you comment on my thesis about mining: For simplicity's sake, lets say that there are only two chains (though I expect a possibility of many more when the shit hits the fan...) 'Core' and 'XT'. Let's also say that neither one takes special actions to substanatively change any protocols or 'monitor and screw' the other. Let's also stiplate that miners behavior will approximate market driven principles (nobody hires them as mercenaries and they don't have strong political beliefs.) Say Core market value is $100/coin Say XT market value is $200/coin I would expect that difficulty of each chain would adjust to how much mining effort was applied to supporting each. Thus, a miner would mine twice as many coins on Core as XT for a given total hash input. I would anticipate then that the mining power would approach a ratio which was represented by the market value of the respective coins. Since I do not fully understand how difficulties are represented in chains, I don't know if I am off-base in this thesis. Any thoughts?
