For this fork to happen one person would have to run the wallet that got released by segwit2x people, and mine the necessary block that activates the fork.

On a difficulty of some petahashes, so ... unlikely. Oh statistically just a single CPU mining has a chance of discovering a new block, but that would not be sufficient. Would require a second block, and a third, and up until there even the biggest luck should be all used up.

That would be the rogue approach. All the official supporters abandoned the fork days (or weeks?) ago, so bitcoin is safe today.

According to those BTC-e investigations the event has been an inside job. That brought three bearish trading years upon us.
One would have to be hand picking the right subset from former employes, never really assured not to move the new incarnation into the very same misery, again.

How would Mt.Gox Bitcoins enter the market?
About 202,185 BTC. Possible effects?
My assumption: These funds cannot enter the markets as a single huuge dump, because they do not belong to a single entity. Just that depends upon these people getting refunded their own bitcoins, and there is the mood point. Regular old bankruptcy system seems broken in those regards.

And I beg to differ on "suffered the fate of all bitcoin exchanges, and had its bitcoins stolen" since that's not the norm, he cannot state it like that. Many cold store wallets are pretty safe!

If the calculations from The Wall Street Journal are true, Mt.Gox could be back into bussiness again?

You meant 2018 ? Since 2017 is mostly over.

IOTA moved against that day ago, but got caught in the overall market sentiment. Alts arent solitudes, they are crypto.

$6200 has been 10/21 pike, I am more looking at the 9/02 former ATH since we never dived below that, should be the harder floor.
Depends upon delivery of Lightning. The sooner, the better.

No.

Because they will rebrand before trying that It's not Lisk, it's "unknown" that will try to walk that path.
However Lisk would need a major Ethereum hiccup to succeed. And what if another project like IOTA manages to put solicity based smart contracts on their version of a blockchain? They are allready trying just that.

No they do exists, an old approach has been weather stations connected to the BOINC network and GRC Gridcoin laying on top of that, adding a sort of data economy that never took of. The idea has been incentivising people into setting up these things, or getting the technology enthusiast who volunteered for BOINC interested in crypto economy.
You would have to add IoT buzz for that to work out.
It is possible to monetize sensory data, like any data, some people are even collecting your mouseclicks (google, adsense) to generate value from that. But the more usefull sensor data usually is recipient of a subsidy.



You are historically mistaken there, let us have a look back into 1958
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinary
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setun
For a timespan of 6 years that has been Super Computing state of the art. Not a new homebaken solution.
And the devs are releasing their source, take a look at https://github.com/iotaledger/

However the centralized accusations are spot on. I doubt they can now get exchanges for their project once they had proven to be able taking IOTA out of people's wallets. No exchange can take on a risk like that.

Especially in regards of this recent epic messup, ETHs Parity Wallet, there had been millions of ICO funds just gotten frozen!
Bitcoin in the meantime runs without any flaws. The fork got cancelled.

But markets dont care. Why?!
Probably because of Ethereum foundation funds supporting their charts. Or by rule of thumb "frozen funds == reduction of supply" in a strange way. Unforseen price discovery.

Of course not. It's the same distribution mechanics of knowledge, commitment and maybe some luck again. Who doesn't own fiat does not buy bitcoin.
Obtaining production capacity for manufactoring, or for mining bitcoins comes hardly any different.

The differences and most of the idealism had been present at the start merely.

Without the cancellation this fork rally would have superseeded $9000 with ease. Just some days been missing.

I do wonder if there had been insider news out there, since the S2X futures had been trading on extremely low volume. Merely because only obscure sites offering them? Or ... knowledge before the event?

About trades with leverage there are small signs popping up that Kraken might face a class action lawsuit from disgruntled users.
I would not participate into such something, but I didn't got burned that hefty. Just withdrawn everything, letting Kraken rest in peace.

Only Ethereum can kill Ethereum, and it's in the process of doing just that right now.

The Polkadot ICO has to struggle for survival. Roundabout 151 ICOs affected.
On Iconomy's statement regarding customer funds not affected, *only* company assets ... that
seems hard to believe, this preciese separation exactly along that thin line.

Good observation! The probability to get a trade depends upon own weight versus orderbook depths.

He could try DOCE/LTC markets on Cryptopia, those are pretty threadbare.
Or relocate to CoinGather or BitGrail if no affinity of switching for LTC exists. Personal decisions.

So no fork, and B2X futures falling from the sky. It seems their value only approaches zero, but doesn't hit zero since people need them to check out their splitted BTC. All that splitting into tokens for some unsecure future seems a bussiness to stricktly avoid.

At least they did not sawed off the foundation pillars supporting the rails.

This forkonado had made me fear for the worst. Hasty software commits'n'changes, drastical moves in the mining landscape.
For a long term prosperity we definitely need slow waters as in stability.

He arrived at the right place now.

The current situation on Kraken, today 11/8 looks like the following: API seems to be workable, but webpage throwing lots of 504 errors.
Better hurry up doing your conversion! They announced (well, vaguely) upping their backend because of these issues. Means "possible downtime for days" soon.

Always use BTC as a base currency for reaching Ethereum or other alts.
You could try Poloniex, they got side markets based upon other currencies.

That Tezos couple is an interesting one, more to read about at https://techcrunch.com/2017/07/12/behind-the-scenes-with-tezos-a-new-blockchain-upstart/

They explain in the end how that name come up. Algorithmic decision based upon available namespace and dictionary!

In my opinion the question slacked on mentioning a timeframe!
$8000 when? Arriving at Christmas most likely.
I'm mostly along the moods mentioned by above posters. The fork is a major event not to be underestimated. A correction incoming. But a retreat at 50% Fibonacci level would surprise even me. Leveraged shorts in a high volatile market equal suicide.
End of year above $8000 are kinda set.

DOGE been a copy of LTC, Bytecoin was the original codebase for todays Monero.
There had been issues surrounding Bytecoins former past, particularily premining related. Hence the continous decay on their charts.
I agree spread trading on low value coins can be helpfull on a little single dollar.

But honestly, if he does a tenfold with that ending on ten dollars the self suicide probability increases drastically. Better taking $100 and trying to create $1000 from that instead.

That is Devops199's job, waves is not participating
