Whole thread, fresh one from this week, vanished. No notification about post deletions.

One requirement has been continuous time marks. All Blockchains can provide that. I would like to know how far non-Blockchain based ones can do. Lisk as an example, or wait ... they are DPos or something, but still block arriving after block in a linear order.

Right, LSK Lisk missing in your list. Features JS as a contract language, could have some reach amongst casual programmers.

Which happens to be the max supply of LTC, 21m * 4 = 84m. So far 53m are in circulation.
This supply dillution might create equal prices for 1 LTC == 1 BTC talking fifty bucks.
When that happens we are dead.

Less scientific but allready up and running https://twitter.com/cryppadotta/status/913062920690339840
Dotta (that mupped lol) provides some data since a while. The selection of twitter accounts has been done manually. Those twitter people are not unrelated, some of them are forming "teams" to peddle their own agenda, use with care.

Ethereum will turn to POS. Those claymore miners will move to another big and expensive coin instead of sticking with $0,10 SIA.
And the peak has been $0,19 just a month after those lost hope on profit, so much about giving up to early.

How would you measure "twitter volume"? Counting tag occurances? Calculating in the reach of the account mentioning them?
Be aware people can buy services on each and every social network. Your numbers might get gamed by social bots.

Well, their chances are there: BCH would remain SHA256. And 100% of the blockchain's hashrate is running on SHA256.


Any Equihash would just run on some GPUs that formerly did ETH or something else. Since ETH turning POS.

I don't like that perspective!



We are at Height 488317 so this would be 6467 blocks ahead, or (10 minutes each) 45 Days ahead. Six weeks.

side note: Just recognizing your name, you should try Chromium >60 to access that site. They messed up on some upgrade, cutting of several widely used browser types.

Back on track ... gold ... right ... well, "true gold" suffers from huge spread when you try to move it back into paper money. "prefer the hub/spoke reserve currency" exactly leads to the same condition. High fees. And as a result buying pizza ain't be done using gold nuggets.
People will stick with the cheaper money featuring the lower fees. Market rules, it is the economy. Now we will be getting one fork after another sticked up into our behind sides, devil style. Will never end, until Bitcoin fees get as low again as they always have been before.

LocalBitcoins compensated their users for their BCH airdrop, but by selling them and redeeming BTC instead. And announced to not redo such all to often. https://localbitcoins.com/blog/bitcoin-bcash/
That could dampen the moods about another BTG rainfall.
Seems the first market swing would point downwards in a sharp curve, bouncing two or three times up again. Some traders do like that, however it's difficult to trade.

No, was not. 0.0020-ish beeing perfectly average for a project ranging back no further than 2017. And if you count in the dynamics of last bitcoin ATH you will see $10 are above chart medium levels. We are allready up +20% just because of these news.

Coinone is perfectly sufficient, you even see Bittrex beeing dwarfed on Qtum daily trade amounts. The "adding to exchange" effect has been all about Bittrex last year. I think it's history by now.

Some constructs are piggybacking on the bitcoin blockchain. Counterparty to be named, mastercoin. Those do depend upon fresh blocks beeing mined.
But even if there would be absolutely no market value left there is still the probability that hobbyist continue to mine blocks by altruism. Hashrate dropping down to zero would open a long timespan for difficulty readjustments so yes, trouble. If the blockchain fails probably all blockchain based cryptos get damaged, even the POS based ones.

Will come close to an bloodbath in each and every street.

However, buy when there is blood in the streets. And there are some alts like Ethereum that had shown some teeth in regards of pushing the blockchain technology even further. If the page turns, things turning worse, I might just jump for ETH (besides some smaller additional projects) and sit out everything. You need to get away from maximalisms, seeing the base approach as something independant. Crypto has arrived to stay.

I would love that perspective. There are fundings happening right now that would get affected by a sharp rise, however. Any precise date for the fork taking place?

Most of these ICOs should be underwater by now, if having hodled the raised funds. There has been specualtions floating around the usual twitter places that they might want to pump ETH up again for transforming crypto into cash.
The legit ones at least who by some point in time have to pay for programing, office space and hardware. The scams might just have dumped at the first possible point in time.

The risks involved are straightforward, as in easy to spot. Of course replay attacks. And typing in your private keys into some new wallet of unknown reputation.
So best practise would be to move your BTC first, into a fresh and safe wallet, before unburying this new treasure.

It's national hollyday in my country, and I am boored. Maybe recieving another airdrop of some kind could lift the mood?

Seems NXT outperformed IOTA (+418733% !!!), percentage rise wise. However originating from the almost same people I think it will keep up with NXT's success one day. Quadrupling on this speculative angle.
I want to be aboard on that.

They did implemented ZEC over there? The first approach of tying Monero into OpenBazaar has timed out, and people reacted very frustrated about their donations in the project.

LOL!


How did Edward responded to mining subsidy? A lot of your hashrate would go to the company.
And there is another issue... did you ever compiled the ZEC wallet yourself? Seen how man requests are branching out to fetch additional binary data?

... about the need to discuss, if needless.
About the current impact I think we are dreaming about everyday purchases and that's miles away. Even moving further, since conventional methods rule the whole area without any discruptions happening.
Current lever seems to be the outer rims, where classical money doesn't rule. Shady stuff even, perhaps. But mostly the area of developing bussiness ideas that couldn't make it so far. Group collaboration, worldwide, paid in an artificial cyber currency. Coding for Bitcoins. Writing (I'm doing that right now). Design work, hiring employees around the world. Where ever intellectual property gets generated, paying tasks in bitcoin could disrupt a lot of old structures.

Right. China commies beeing pretty much surrounded. Unless counting in Russia, too. And comparing India against China, and Japan against Russia. Honestly from size and numbers this isn't looking all to good. That https://www.coindesk.com/russia-likely-ban-bitcoin-payments-deputy-finance-minister-says/
And there is no country with higher cultural affinity to gold than india, to my observation. And they are probably the only country on earth who banned paper bills over night last year. Just imagine that! At least try to remember.

That is just the wrong hope looking at the outer rims of the economy. Bitcoin either makes it in the heart of the united states, for everyday purchases like pizza, or fails.
