As far as I'm aware of, the custom changes made by theymos are not open-source.

I need it so specific because i offer ANN thread design and need to set up a sand box for work in progress threads. With other versions of SMF sometimes the way images are handled in posts are different to how it is on this forum.
What are you exactly trying to do (i.e. what's the problem)?
11502  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who will be your perfect Satoshi Nakamoto ? on: June 22, 2016, 06:16:00 PM
It does not matter who Satoshi is/was. Please stop making useless threads such as this one. It is actually much better that we don't know who she is.

2. Gavin.
4. Hearn - B/c that would be hilarious.
Either one of those options would be a nightmare.

Well Satoshi Nakamoto is only Satoshi Nakamoto no one can take his position. If you want to choose me next Satoshi Nakamoto I will choose Craig wright.
All I can say is: If you think that, despite all the evidence that refutes his claims, CW is still Satoshi, there's something wrong with your way of thinking. Stop appealing to authority. Gavin doesn't know what he's talking about. He drank too much kool-aid that day.

11504  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can we still say that BTC transactions are faster? on: June 22, 2016, 04:01:38 PM
I think paypal still fast in transaction if you compare the speed of the transaction bitcoin transaction it takes 10 minutes before you receive..
Wrong. Transactions take 1-3 sections usually. Confirmations take 10 minutes on average.

Nowadays the transactions of bitcoin are taking much longer time which sometimes become irritating when you need money urgently, and on bitpay while paying for a service it will be a problem, because bitpay wait only for 15 minutes for the first confirmation.
Then stop being cheap and include the recommended fee.

it's called bottleneck when there's so many unconfirmed transaction but the block only 1mb
Even if the block size limit was 1 GB it can't be helped. Certain entities would bloat the blockchain with spam occasionally.
11505  Other / Meta / Re: Is this kind of act a bannable offense? on: June 22, 2016, 02:39:58 PM
What we can see here is definitely not bannable (selling vouch copies?). However, any suspicious behavior usually points out that the user in question is not trustworthy. In that case, it is likely that they would receive a negative rating from someone in DT.

This thread's in meta because theres nowhere that I can think of thats better right now :-/
I guess it fits since you're questioning the forum's policy on said behavior.
11506  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Incentives for Core, Classic, XT and Unlimited on: June 22, 2016, 12:44:12 PM
I've just completed the form on a virtual Linux machine. The questions are definitely very simple and it takes very little time to answer them. Hopefully you know that the 4 implementations in the first question are very different. Core is the main implementation, XT is dead, Classic is dying and BU has some people behind it (although a very low number nodes). I do like how the questions involved the central banks and fractional reserve banking which is one of the main reasons to opt into Bitcoin.
11507  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are You Cashing out of BTC before Everyone else Does or are you a BTC bagholder? on: June 22, 2016, 12:04:43 PM
Hold out all you like. I've brought forward my BTC bag hodling policy and am now dumping FAST. Remember the halvening has been price into BTC for over a year as the only folks aware of it are the BTC Baghodlers!!!
Another failed FUD attempt. Besides, you have to own Bitcoin first in order to be able to "dump fast".

Yup the BTC price is in full collapse right now. It's a crippled coin with a fractured community so hardly surprising really. Investors know there are better cryptos out there.
What a load of bullshit. "Better cryptos", like what? Centralized, non-censorship resistant blockchains like ETH? Seems like someone is really hurt about not buying Bitcoin in time. Roll Eyes


Speculation will it hold ~$450 or go lower?
It is holding $660 which is surprising because it is still $200 up from May.

As I believe the bitcoin price will rise a lot if it is developed properly, I will hold most bitcoin and promote it.
I don't see an (decentralized) altcoin that has a comparable team of developers.
11508  Economy / Economics / Re: Why the price of Bitcoin change more than traditional currencies? on: June 22, 2016, 11:47:47 AM
This thread is not in the right section. Speculative talk should be in 'Bitcoin Forum > Economy > Economics > Speculation'.

In any case, Bitcoin price cannot stay stable for long.
Correct. It is too early to have a 'stable' price for something that is not backed by the traditional "ways" (gold and such). It is possibly that the price will stabilize more after we have some ETFs and such (i.e. it will have smaller, percentage-wise, upswings and downswings).

That's why it is being manipulated easily. Simply there isn't enough volume in the market to resist whales with big wallets.
Exactly. Most of the people 'panicking' in the Speculation section during "crashes" are actually playing in their hands.

While a few people use it to conduct transactions for goods and services, the majority buy it for speculative price appreciation. .
I disagree. You can't know this as there is no way to measure it.
11509  Other / Meta / Re: Czech threads - deleted! on: June 22, 2016, 11:15:39 AM
Think the banned it till after the Euro due to hooligan behavior on the pitch.
This does not make sense. The forum staff would not do something in that 'fashion'.

There was a thread about CZC and it was in Bleutrade. Now I'm checking back and it's neither here nor in Bleutrade. They also had a gateway with CZC/their own local currency
It was quite "active" coin
As hard as it to understand this, I'll take a go at it: There is no reason for Czech to have its own section (yet). There are less than 600 posts since the creation of the thread (which was 5 years ago). Since there is not dedicated section, that means that you should not be opening multiple threads regarding the same languages. Altcoin giveaway threads are also disallowed.

we should have some thread here, simply because there is no other alternative (except "hacked" forum bitcash) and there are lot of fans around...so?
This does not make sense to me. Please elaborate.
11510  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will I stay or Will I leave - Poll on: June 22, 2016, 07:13:46 AM
I think that I will stay for a while because I am still making some money and I am not convinced that the Bitcoin is already dead.
When the Bitcoin is dead I am sure to give up by then but as long as I can make some money I am making use of it.
So you're staying as long as you can earn a few bucks from signature campaigns? You're definitely here for all the right reasons. Roll Eyes

It does not matter to me which side wins because I am going to stay and that is what matters to me. As long as I can keep doing what I am always doing on Bitcoin I am good.
Your statament does not even make sense (all that matters to you that you're staying?). Additionally, it does matter what happens. You can't let a controversial HF take over, else the system is not as resistant as you think (which is one of the reasons that Bitcoin's blockchain is so valuable).
But really, it is your choice after all.
If you want to be ignorant enough and support the wrong side or not care at all, nobody can stop you.
11511  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Average block size was 0.951 MB on: June 22, 2016, 05:29:45 AM
No! The average bitcoiner certainly knows that blocks are 95% full, and we wonder with much apprehension what will happen next, when blocks are 99% full (100% cannot be achieved) but Core developers, it seems, are less informed. They haven't implemented a solution yet, so it's getting likely that BTC will... Stop growing. I don't know how many people use BTC today, but there won't be a single new user in a year from now. If a new user wants to join the BTC party, an old user will need to leave the party. If one user wants to make more transactions, another user will need to reduce his number of transactions. Sorry, no vacancy.
Nonsense. Stop posting FUD. This is not how adoption works. Just because at times there seems to be a lack of space (regardless of the cause), that does not mean that the current limit can not support more users. There will always be a time where existing users create less TX's, at which there is room for other people to transact (more). You can't know where the adoption is at either. One user could easily be making thousands of TX's a day just to use up the space within the blocks. Transaction volume does not necessarily have to imply increased user adoption.

Fees are still lower then banks but they're definitely not suited for microtransaction operations which sorta sucks
It was never well suited for microtransactions.

Im not sure what you mean microtransaction operations, but many items are priced between 5 and 20 USD, and it becoming uneconomical to use Bitcoin to pay for such items. If even the fees go higher in future, I dont see much utility to use Bitcoin for purchasing goods online - too costly option. So we might be back where Bitcoin started, no online shop accepting Bitcoin anymore - pretty big step back.
So paying 10 cents means that it is "uneconomical"? Roll Eyes

You've made a slight mistake when it comes to digicoinuser and polished copper. The last entry says '9' but it should be '91'. Additionally, here's the updated list for me:

11514  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitfinex crash: Soft Fork Now! and after a hard fork on: June 21, 2016, 05:54:40 PM
Funny, but fortunately we don't apply Proof of Vitalik in Bitcoin.
This is likely one of the reasons for which Satoshi is gone. What Vitalik has done, and what they're trying to do is counter-intuitive to decentralized blockchains.

I cant believe people still havent dump all of their ETH for BTC btw.
We're most likely talking about people that are solely here because of their own foolish greed.

No wonder the price is dropping so rapidly within the last 24 hours. I thought it was just a bubble bursting.
This is the wrong section for price talk. You might want to visit Speculation.

I sure hope not since I was looking to buy some etherum from them  Undecided
Buying a centralized coin with blacklisting? You're supporting all the right things. Roll Eyes

it's not FUD. all the Bitfinex clients were locked out for more than 8 hours SO, they were unable to withdrawn/sell, etc. In the mean time, the price went down with 10%.  Someone who had 100,000 USD, now he lost 10K just because Bitfinex is a shit exchanger and shut down the servers yearly in order to make huge profits.
No. You have no idea whether Bitfinex actually had problems or not. It is very normal for something to occasionally go offline. Not repairing a problem on time usually leads to even greater problems and even longer downtime. The real question is whether they've handled it professionally or not.

It might be wise to stay relevant to the thread and not discuss altcoins.
11515  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Average block size was 0.951 MB on: June 21, 2016, 04:28:35 PM
What utter rubbish, not being ready is hardly "as close as it gets" - when it actually is in live and being used how would you describe that, "even closer than as close as it gets"?
No. Technically it isn't even "live" after being merged, it has to go through the activation and grace period. Anyhow, RC1 should be released soon.

I think this is semantics - in the context of this thread, the inference is clear that you were referencing Segwit as providing "The" capacity increase.
Again, the main idea behind Segwit is fixing transaction malleability. If you want to improperly understand a statement, I can't stop you.

Segregated witness is a soft fork - what relevance does a hard fork have to this discussion?
Because a certain group of people tried to promote a controversial HF (which is useless) as the alternative.

I notice you did not address any of my other points, and I am confident that the adoption argument is completely relevant for this and indeed any other upgrade; but especially since the benefits we are discussing are dependent upon widespread adoption.
The argument does only hold no merit in the case where one was comparing it to the block size limit increase. It does not seem like you do and as such feel free to ignore it. This might be a 'decent' argument for deploying Segwit as a HF.

I answered this already.
Then don't quote it twice and make double posts.

That was the average block size was id almost 1gb and for now it has rised to twice so now it is almost 2g and that is not good for the miners you know.
Bullshit. That doesn't make sense.
11516  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Average block size was 0.951 MB on: June 21, 2016, 10:48:22 AM
If the blocks are filled because of spam transactions then they would still be full.
I disagree. Take a look here:


Yet the miners are producing partially full blocks. It comes down to their own settings, some might not want to include very cheap/free transactions.
11517  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Average block size was 0.951 MB on: June 21, 2016, 10:16:57 AM
No, it doesn't fit my definition ... I have highlighted just one reason why not.
It is as close at it gets. It will be merged when it is ready. Anyhow, complaining won't get anyone anywhere. I've seen quite a few people demanding stuff yet they've never contributed anything.

The blocks are supposed to be full. If they are not full then there is no need to pay a fee.
I doubt that many 0-fee transactions would be included at this point even if the average block size was lower. This is due to some factors, and one being the huge amount of spam transactions in the 1-10 satoshis/byte range.
11518  Other / Meta / Re: Should threads like this be removed or moved from the currency exchange section? on: June 21, 2016, 09:30:13 AM
Well, once a thread has reached its course of life: either the seller stopped providing the goods and/or it has moved away from the original topic, it should be locked. This one was locked and as such I've archived it last night (IIRC).

Newbies shouldn't be allowed to post in Currency Exchange at all.
Newbies shouldn't be allowed to create threads would be a better start. I can't say I disagree with the idea.

Maybe there are genuine newbies who are serious about the exchange but there is no way to filter them out.
I'd say that they are most likely going to be a minority in comparison to non-genuine newbies.
11519  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Average block size was 0.951 MB on: June 21, 2016, 09:25:41 AM
In this very thread, about block size and capacity, you said:
Besides, Segwit is getting ready to be merged. The "awaited" capacity 'boost' will come with it.
If that isn't offering Segwit as a solution to increase capacity I don't know what is.
It isn't. I've simply stated that a capacity boost will come with Segwit (which is correct).

Inertia; laziness; not understanding it or how to use it; suspicion of change - I can think of any number of reasons why people won't use it.  For comparison, what proportion of the network is currently running the latest version of the client?
Not understanding how to use it? As far as the user is concerned nothing changes. You just have to update your wallet. Besides, when it comes to a hard fork everyone has to upgrade or else they will be left behind (adoption argument makes no sense as far as Segwit is concerned).

OK, I think we have a different understanding of the term "implemented".
By "implemented" I mean in place, being used in the live environment and able to deliver the benefits set out for it.
Implementation == working code. It is implemented in the testnet, so that fits your definition of it as well. These are the two pull requests that you should be looking at: Segregated witness, Segregated witness rebased.
11520  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin price change origin from BTC mining difficulty on: June 21, 2016, 09:13:43 AM
I think that you've got it the other way around. The only way that that could make sense is if the miners were directly manipulating the price by selling fewer coins. Even though that is a remote possibility, I don't think that it has much to do with the sudden rise. IMO most of the people here have no idea what they're talking about when it comes to the price, only a few actual make decent analysis. They just make guesses.

Note: If the idea behind this thread is to discuss the price changes then it is in the wrong section.
