Guys,

I was one of the stupid people to invest in the DAO. Now I need your help!

If I can see still my DAO balance on daohub.org do I have still DAOs which I need to withdraw?

Thanks in advance

yeah, now I got it even more. Makes absolutely sense! Thank you very much for your detailed explanation

One more...why is the blockchain always cheching the previous blocks? Is it not possible that it is checking immediately that 2016 blocks have been with version 0.13.1?

Thank you so much franky1!!!! I got it

Does that also mean, that the first block with a higher transaction number (with segwit) can be mined after 4032 blocks or actually at block 4033?

Folks,

I have a question on the timeline because Im not getting it properly.

Bitcoin core is writing:

Miners will be able to signal that they are willing and able to enforce segwit starting at the beginning of the first 2,016-block retarget period on or after 15 November 2016 (UTC).

If 95% of blocks within any retarget period signal support for segwit, it locks-in.


That means on the 15th November Miner are able to signal if they accept 0.13.1 which needs a 95% acceptance within 2016 blocks.

Bitcoin core is further writing:

After another 2,016-block (roughly two week) retarget period, segwit will activate, allowing miners to produce blocks containing segwit transactions on Bitcoin’s mainnet.

I dont understand why another 2016 block period is needed. I thought after the first 2016 blocks 0.13.1 is activated. What is happening in the second period?

Thanks guys!!!

My understanding is that you cant pay a merchant with such a vault address otherwise you could always reverse a transaction after you have paid a coffee. You need to unlock the vault, wait a specific time which you have determined (e.g. 24 hours) and then you can pay someone.

Guys, have you heard about the Bitcoin Vaults proposed by Gun? For me it sounds like a very elegant solution and I think it would very enhance the Bitcoin network. We need a better security!!

Who wants to dive in to this proposal I would recommend to listen to this podcast:

https://letstalkbitcoin.com/blog/post/lets-talk-bitcoin-306-bitcoin-vaults-and-selective-reversibility-as-a-virtue

My question now:

1: He is talking about two keys. The first key to unlock the vault and the second key to reverse a transaction in case your first key has been compromised. However, he is also talking about to "burn" the coins in case your first and e coins? Is there a third key?

2: Do you see any negative regarding the Bitcoin Vaults?

Thanks for your opinion!

Sometimes people ask me "What makes Bitcoin so secure? Why is this technology so safe?

How would you answer this question? Do I have to answer it with regards to Proof of Work?

Thanks for your thoughts on this 

Hi guys,

Im still struggeling with the f**** DAO.

Im not sure if I have withdrawn my DAO funds back to ETH. If my address is still showing a balance on the DAO page. Do I have still DAOs? If I enter my adress on the daihub.org it still showing a balance.

Thank you very much for your help!

Guys, I guess you have heard that Apple will integrate Circlepay in the iMessage in iOS 10. Im wondering where is the advantage to use Circlepay (they use Bitcoin) instead of e.g. paypal. Most people will send USD or EUR and not bitcoin. Im sure Circlepay will use bitcoin in the back to do the transactions. Would it not easier just to integrate paypal in the iMessage?

For instance: Sending from Germany to my friend in the US 30 EUR. PayPal would just to exchange the EUR into Dollars. Circlepay would first exchange EUR into Bitcoins, do the transaction and then exchange Bitcoins into Dollar. What do I see wrong?

Thanks!

They have announced that they have as a development goal the promotion of the Factom public Testnet for August/September which in my understanding is the M2 (Milestone 2). David Johnston also said in the interview with TaiZen that they are very close to completion. I would just chillax and wait for the announcement...I think that will be huge.

Yes, I have also noticed that the sell side decreased from around 420k FCT to now 290k FCT. Buy side still over 1k BTC. How would you assess this?

Just published via the Factom Twitter Account:

When will the attacker have controls of his funds? Is there a date?

Folks,

I have bought Ether before the hard fork and have it deposited in my Ethereum Wallet. What do I have to do to send my ETH to Poloniex and to send it at the same time also my ETC to Poloniex. Do you know what I mean?

Thx appreciate your help!

I have still to download around 200,000 blocks. Do I have to download all blocks before the tx are working?
