Could you please explain what is "adequate amount of activity"?
There isn't a fixed number. However, if you take a look within the "Other languages/locations" section, you will find that there are threads which have much more activity/posts in comparison to the Ukranian one. The current top three are: Serbian, Pakistani, Slovenia with 1180+, 980+, 818+ posts respectively. In comparison, the Ukrainian one has 420+. |

No, my main intention is about getting place on this forum where I can use my native language.
As pointed out above by Lutpin, you first need to have an adequate amount of activity in the Ukranian thread in order to justify the creation of yet another board. As it currently stands, this isn't the case. If aiwe will be a moderator it's ok too  I don't see that happening. |

You are correct that under this extremely unlikely scenario this principle does not hold, a slightly modified statement would though: "I hold the position that the longest SHA256 chain that also contains the Bitcoin genesis block should be defined as Bitcoin". Another exception might be if the hashing algorithm is ever changed for legitimate reasons, thanks for pointing this out, you are keeping me sharp!
You've also factored in something that may likely be modified to a certain degree in the future. Even if the algorithm was only modified to SHA512, then even the current Bitcoin wouldn't fit into that description. Good to hear that Lauda, the possibility exist that we might one day be in agreement then. I could always be proven wrong in the future as well, and I would have to admit the fault and continue learning. I think that, even if we disregard a lot of the misinformation in regards to the block size limit (e.g. idiotic posts like:"My computer could handle 100MB+ blocks"; "Scale now or doomsday"), there are some people with genuine concerns on each side. Such people would not be afraid of being wrong. The goal is to scale Bitcoin in the best possible approach. I'm primarily anti controversial hard forks. Additionally, I think that this debate is being abused by people who could be damaged by Bitcoin's success. They could easily abuse it by paying people to "infiltrate" each side and keep inciting war, flame and hatred on each other. Point taken about consecutive posts, I will do my best to avoid that. I can lump them together now actually.
Great! |

But here I'm more asking about how BCT ads are not detected or considered as ads by ad blockers
AFAIK theymos is the only one who can specifically answer that. However, I don't see why they should. |

My question is: how do they do that ? How can they bypass adblockers ?  A lot of sites are bypassing the standard AD blocker (ad block plus), or they're are able to detect them and tend ask you to turn it off in order to continue exploring the website. It's a kind of a 'constant battle'. I do remember reading about an "AD-Block blocker" and a " anti AD-Block killer".
Apparently, there are a few services that offer 'solutions' to detect AD-Block, block or mitigate it. However, experienced users are able to use advanced blockers and modify their filtration lists. You can find more information here. |

I hold the position that the longest SHA256 chain should be defined as Bitcoin. Whether that will be the network you favor or not will remain to be seen. However the most likely scenario is that we will split of as a minority to begin with which means we will take a new name, to avoid confusion, I can agree with you on that Lauda.
The first part is wrong: "longest SHA256 chain as Bitcoin". Bitcoin could be replaced (hypothetical scenario) with a SHA256 chain that has nothing to do with the previous Bitcoin blockchain (e.g. no balances). You won't define this as Bitcoin, will you now? Just pointing out that the position is missing a characterization that describes a longest SHA256 chain relevant to Bitcoin (at least up to some point). Though there is a chance that in the future you might regret not being more compromising on this issue.
There is zero reason for someone rational and open-minded to regret having a wrong position, especially if they learn and adapt. If the proponents of the 'split' chain end up being right about the whole 'debate', finds a way to scale Bitcoin 'the right way',and that chain becomes the main chain, then there's no reason for me not to shift my position towards it. I'd expect an irrational person to act differently.
Hint: Do not make consecutive posts, but rather try to group them up as 1 post whenever possible (forum rules). |

At this point I suspect a controversial split will be the only way forward, keep in mind it only takes a very small minority of people to disagree to cause a split to happen in the first place. Which is definitely the case now, it is not unfair to think that some of these small blockist will simply never change their mind, and these two opposing ideologies can not exist on the same network since these differing visions also have very different road maps and projected outcomes for Bitcoin, which is why a split has most likely become inevitable.
You would be creating something that we've seen numerous times already, an altcoin. You can try to use pseudo-intellectual reasoning to justify that your split-off version is still Bitcoin, but it isn't. It's an altcoin per definition. Additionally, there have been quite some people telling you several times to fork-off already and re-brand yourself as whatever you want (to avoid general confusion that is detrimental to both sides). |

Please do not ask franky to stop. Actually I have learned many things from his posts for months.
Then you've unfortunately learned a lot of wrong things. Only very few people are sharing their understanding (like franky), others write what they read.
Franky is either a troll or has a very flawed understanding of the protocol. They sometimes (rarely) make sense and write something that true (ergo I can agree with it). I do not know the chances, but the server blocks can be found in two blocks in 10 minutes.It is due to the network and is not a block in 1 hour,After two blocks is a chance to get out
I don't even understand what you're trying to say here. Whatever it is, it seems to be wrong. |

why the answer is in percent ?
Thanks
I don't quite understand the point of this question. The chance of something occuring (and stats) are usually expressed in percentages. |

I don't think that will help you as it is used primarily to calculate mining profitability. Read:"...that you will need to ... generate a block... ". Check the link that I've provided above as it may help you find an answer to your question. |

There's a very good post on StackExchange regarding the block distribution probability in addition to illustration from Wolfram Alpha. However, it won't completely answer you question. You'd have to apply some math in order to extrapolate the right answer from it. -snip-
Stop posting long stories that actually don't contain much useful information. This isn't "more of a guess than science". |

maybe .25 btc buy in?
Wouldn't be for 'fun' anymore, would it? In addition to that, this reduces the amount of potential people willing to enter the tournament. Just finalizing the prizes and details.
I may only be interested after reading up on this, so please post an update in this thread once you have finalized everything. |

The general feedback we gathered was unfunded was the preferred way to go.
Yes, definitely. I would't touch a new funded coin with anything above 0.01 BTC. As far as timing goes, the auctions will be within a week or two. Once sold, the coins in the run will be shipped within 5 weeks as we have to piggy back on a bulk silver purchase.
Okay, sounds good. I can't wait to see the auction going live, hopefully it won't be a long one. ...you might be right, a $150 target price is ludicrous. 😜
How dare you ask $150 for this coin?!  |

Thank you for the report. This seems not be limited to the Speculation section, but rather a user that tends to spam a section before switching to another one to avoid getting caught. If we take a closer look at the posting habit, it also may indicate bot-like behavior. Seems like a very obvious account farmer that is spamming everywhere with nonsense.
