101  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why not invest instead of cloudmining?? on: September 26, 2015, 12:49:24 PM
as many are led to scam before profit
I've tried in various cloudmining Sad

You should have tried www.CloudMining.website. According to third party cloud mining monitor CMmonitor.com, this service is known to give ROI in ~114 days...



They publish their payment proof of last 10 months: www.cloudmining.website/payments.php

With only 8 BTC, you'll get 10 Ths of hash power. Then, calculate your profit here: www.cloudmining.website/calculator.php

I'm sure that CloudMining.website is a ponzi.

For what it is worth, I don't intend to run the XT client any time soon, but if XT provided actual fungibility fixes, I think a lot of us could probably overlook the hard fork concerns on blockchain size and become its greatest evangelists.

If there were any changes that everybody liked in XT, they'd get merged into core.

Why isn't this thread deleted by the mods?

Because this forum has decent moderators.

It will children a way to access the dark net.

Browsing some hidden sites for fun is not the same as using hidden sites to buy drugs.

and the core developers are playing tiddlywinks instead of fixing one line of code. How hard is it to change a '1' to an '8'. lol

It's a political decision.

Deep web uses bitcoin for their illegal transaction such as buying drugs, child porno, guns, etc. I think that is one of the reason why government dont want bitcoin because it can be use in bad way.

I can use US Dollars for illegal transactions such as buying drugs, child porno guns, etc. The US Government still love their dollars though.

Also, if your plan is still to make it as cheap as possible for people to run nodes.

The plan is to keep it permissionless.
At the current level it we have already maxed out average home connections.
What's your plan?

To not make it twice as bad by maxing out the blocksize too.

"We've hit one wall already, so we should definitely aim for this second one and speed up.  That's bound to make everything better".   Roll Eyes

We maxed out both the current 1MB block size limit and the average home internet connections at the same time.

I have to disagree with this. We are nowhere near maxing out the limit.

While the blocks aren't being filled to 1MB (https://blockchain.info/charts/avg-block-size) there are still usually a lot of unconfirmed transactions.

Bitcoin is perfectly fungible. Anyone who claims otherwise is confusing economic concepts.

wow really? lol


here is the definition of the economic concept of FUNGIBILITY:
Quote
definition: Fungibility is the property of a good or a commodity whose individual units are capable of mutual substitution. That is, it is the property of essences or goods which are "capable of being substituted in place of one another."

You sure you want to claim that it is "perfectly fungible"?

If someone decides not to accept some bitcoins vs other bitcoins ....then it is no longer "perfectly fungible".

I can draw and deface a bank note, does that make fiat not "perfectly fungible"?

There is no reason why businesses shouldn't benefit from larger block sizes, unless of course people are conscious enough not to use those businesses that are trying to put them out of the game. In the case above, they likely over-projected in their business plans somewhere. Smiley

Huh?

If no-one is using Bitcoin to pay for things then how on earth are these business benefiting from larger block sizes?


"MASS ADOPTION" fantasies.

A lot of people here want mass adoption because they are selfish and they want to make some quick money, they don't really care about Bitcoin.

Every time I go to a restaurant, ask for Coke and then I hear "Is Pepsi okay?" I cry inside.

113  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Bitcointalk Account price estimator on: September 25, 2015, 03:40:25 PM
The reason you set up this subject is what?

People on this site buy and sell accounts (buy: to join signature campaigns, to scam - sell: selling a loan collateral), so a tool like this helps people easily evaluate the price of an account.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqkIr-rUNpg


It is becoming more and more common for youtube to demonetize videos and but people out of business. They are also trying to suppress information.


Could we create a system using bitcoin ....similar to youtube...but decentralized. Just watch that video and you will see why we need to do this.



Youtube has added more rules to the list of reasons of why they can remove videos. They are suppressing information from the public.
It would be quite hard.
A Youtube requires a immense database of video files, and huge bandwidth.
Current generation decentralized blockchain implementations couldn't handle that.


Maybe it wouldn't be a good idea to host a whole video on the blockchain.
It could be possible to maybe keep a hash/checksum of the video in the blockchain, to make sure that they are not tampered with.

I think of non-Linux options as a joke. I would not even consider using BTC on a winxx or mac.

*BSD? FreeBSD (and probably OpenBSD) are great server distributions. You could run a Bitcoin node on one.

No download required, just download cvs files etc hmm Any nosey parker clicking links is a braver and nosier person than me. I did virus total scan and looked clean but who knows. Why spread this OP?

I only had a quick click through and it seems clean. Just a reupload of what was already dumped online (but still pretty cool).
