Would you invest in BTC or [insert anything here]?
..... BTC of course
|
|
|
|
|
Yes. A poor man can get rich by buying bitcoin like he was addicted to it. Every time he has $5, he buys bitcoin. He never sells it. Ten years from now, he'll be rich.
|
|
|
|
|
Nobody can predict the market. The thing to do is to buy bitcoin, and hold it. Anything else is foolish.
|
|
|
|
|
The point is to make so much money, that making money isn't the point any more.
|
|
|
|

It will be soon! Give it some time.

Saylor is a genius. He's right. If you haven't watched "The Saylor Series" yet, you should now.

Hey, any source for these anymore? Can't find them for sale anywhere!

There seem to be a number of areas that need badly to be decentralized further.
Facebook, Instagram, and other social media, including YouTube. Uber, Lyft, ridesharing in general. Airbnb and room sharing. Craigslist. Ebay, Amazon.
All of these companies could be replaced by a single or multiple decentralized protocols, completely open-source and not owned or controlled by any individual or company, "out in the wild" like bitcoin is.
Sure, there are countless ICO's and other projects trying to apply blockchain technology to these areas, but perhaps they're missing the mark. We need truly decentralized solutions, so that censorship of our postings or videos is impossible, so that drivers can keep 100% of their fares, so that we can buy or sell anything over any border without being subject to arbitrary and often unjust legislation.
True decentralization of all of these is possible. Imagine an open-source app, connecting drivers and passengers, but with no CEO or office to call, the code running on its own, perhaps automatically taking a tiny percentage to rent server space for itself. Imagine video-sharing and social networking, completely decentralized, controlled by no man, censorship impossible.
It is key that the solution for each of these be truly open-source and not-for-profit. I would love to hear about examples of projects already working on each of these fronts, and thoughts about how to make them work best to achieve a world we all would like to live in. There are serious questions to address, but I think we as a community will solve them.
Thanks for your time.

Ok; I had not intended to make my node a pruned node. Bummer. Now I've restarted the whole process and am currently syncing the blockchain. I have the space, but my network connection is painfully slow, so it will be a while. I'll post here again when I am able to try again.
I'm not sure why core wouldn't run, but I restarted the machine and now it will. But now I'm back to "progress increase %0.56 per hour" ... Be back in a week or so I figure...
|
|
|
|
|
Looking in my bitcoin.conf I see I have a line "prune=550" will this cause problems?
|
|
|
|
Ok, now I don't know what I did, but bitcoin core won't launch anymore.   It's not already running, I checked, there's no bitcoind or bitcoin-anything process running; I'm pretty confused. |
|
|
|
And here's a screenshot of armory, where it says 96.3:  |
|
|
|
So, I have now updated bitcoin core to 15.0.1 again; I'm looking at the debug window in core and I may have found a problem or an answer,  Where it says "Memory Pool" and "current number of transactions," that number is not staying put, it's growing -- will i need to wait for it to finish before it will work? |
|
|
|
|
Since it should work with 96.3 and 15.0.1, I'm going to restore my bitcoin core back to 15.0.1 and see if that makes a difference.
|
|
|
|
ok, so, I'm running Armory 96.3 I did not have server=1 set in my bitcoin core conf, i set that in .bitcoin/bitcoin.conf and restarted core; When I run Armory, it shows this screen:  And the log file is http://termbin.com/68sfThe relevant part/new part of the log file is Log file opened at 12:51:03: /home/henry/.armory/dbLog.txt

So, I've now downgraded bitcoin core to version 0.15.0.0, and now when I run armory, it does show "connected (0 blocks)" in the lower right corner (first time I've seen that! woohoo!) but it still doesn't seem to be loading the database correctly.

Updated armory, recompiled it, basically did git checkout, git pull, autogen, submodule init, submodule update, make and make install. Tried again, now I get this: Log file opened at 10:23:31: /home/henry/.armory/dbLog.txt

Reading other posts, I tried doing a git pull to update, ran armory again, similar situation, still stuck on scanning, but it looks a little different now:  And the new logfile: http://termbin.com/9zhlAny help much appreciated. |

Hey there, I finally got my blockchain synced up with bitcoin core and now I'm trying to get armory online.
