That's why I said that the Lakers got the short hand of the bargain giving up Lou Williams.
Currently, Houston has the no. 1 and 2 candidate for the sixth man of the year award with
Williams and Gordon.

I watched Houston vs Timberwolves, a high scoring game and all I can say is that
Timberwolves lost because of poor defense. I thought they hired coach Thibs to help the
team to improved their defense but I haven't seen it for the Timberwolves so far.

I stumbled upon a 2014 radio interview of Andreas Antonopoulos, who we all know
if a avid supporter of bitcoin. He layed out 3 pillars that should make bitcoin
mass adopted.

1.) UI - Perhaps he is referring the Interfaces that a wallet should have. But hey
           its 2014. A lot has improved since.
2.)Security/Anonymous:
3) Price Stability:

I think the UI issue has been already been improved a lot and is a non-factor here.
Do you think that no. 2 and no. 3 reason is still a reason today before bitcoin
become mass adopted?

This week’s summary of various cryptocurrency news and developments:

New developments:

The Chinese province of Sichuan is becoming the country’s bitcoin mining capital

According to the China Money Network, bitcoiners keep on trying to move to mountainous regions where mining equipment can naturally be cooled down without the need for additional resources. This has led to an exponential growth in mining centers in the Chinese province of Sichuan, which according to the local publication saw more than 20 companies, and 10,000 mining machines move in. The province, with a population of roughly 200,000, is a great place to mine the cryptocurrency, as it has low population density, which helps avoid noise complaints, a cold climate that helps cool down the machines, and cheap electricity, thanks to its hydroelectric power plants.

After assembling a research team in 2014, the People’s Bank of China has done trial runs of its prototype cryptocurrency. That's taking it a step closer to becoming one of the first major central banks to issue digital money that can be used for anything from buying noodles to purchasing a car. At the same time as it builds up its own capabilities, the PBOC is increasing scrutiny of bitcoin and other private digital tenders. It doesn't want a bitcoin bubble to blow up. And since currencies have historically been issued by the state, not private players, it doesn't want to cede the cryptocurrency space to companies it has no control over.

You can check out this sub-board:

those are alternative wallet aside from the Bitcoin Core. You can read about
every wallet out there and decide for yourself what wallet you are going to
used. But, I personally used electrum wallet though, I just created a standard
wallet and I'm ready to go, and because its fast and you don't have to download
the full node. Also, I think you also need how to secure your wallet by having a
password once you have installed it.

GoodLuck!!!

 

I was drolling watching your youtube video  I also noticed  the airflow as well,
For sure its definitely hot in there, a little would help IHMO. Also I noticed the
wiring, needed a little harness I think.

I'm also interested on how safety are being put in your mining? Are neighbors
around? No complaint from them? I also put up a thread regarding the safety
or security of doing bitcoin mining business. Here's the link:

If you think you can contribute, please do, so that others could learn as well.
Goodluck!!!

Its really hard to imagine a world without gambling, since gambling has been
with us since the beginning of time, but I think it will still exist but in different
form, and you can call it whatever, like vices, betting etc.. but it is be still gambling.

And if ever it never existed, others vices attached to gambling would not
also exist, like liquors, beers or even drugs. No more disappointment when lossing 
no more casino, no more rich US and chinese gambling mogul, no gambling
lords in different country and others...

Isn't it that The Bitcoin Alliance of Canada now changed its name to Blockchain Association of Canada,
because the said they have issues and roadblock opening a bank account in Canada?

They are like trying to force bitcoin in a role or like controlling it, which I doubt will likely happen in a
de-centralized system like bitcoin. And it looks like they don't like what it can accomplish without
these big financial instituions involving themselves. And like you said, they want a piece of cake
because they know that bitcoin and blockchain can be used as a effective tools for payment, bypassing
banks.

I think this is unprecedented in American history, as President Trump intensifies
his attack on media. But I think this love-hate relationship with media will not
last as they needed each other 

White House: the Press is 'the enemy of the people'.
Media: “Apparently this is how they retaliate when you report facts they don’t like,”

Yeah I agree you with that both the media and the White House cannot be trusted,
however, should both of be promoting access to information and the people has
the right to know what's going on in the government?

Post-trade derivatives processing is a complex and integral part of everyday global financial markets. As blockchain-inspired technology for financial services continues to mature, post-trade infrastructure providers are collaborating with the industry to explore how it can be used to increase the efficiency of systems and processes underpinning the global derivatives markets.

Distributed ledgers can provide elegant solutions to a number of challenges posed by existing post-trade processing technology. However, to understand the potential benefits, we must first look at how the current platforms operate.

So I guess its doable and not impossible. But I have to agree with you, its hard
to earn that kind of bitcoin eventhough you have a large amount of capital for
trading. So earn that amount, you have to work fulltime as a trader 24/7.
You have to woke up at wee hours of the morning to see how the price is
moving.

Bitcoin gambling is perhaps will be close to gaining this amount of bitcoin.
I'm thinking of satoshidice could have already earn this or more since this
is the first and original on-line dice game.

The country of India has been on the fence about bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies for a while. Whereas the idea was opposed at first, it now appears the local government thinks differently about peer-to-peer payment technology. A national summit will be held to discuss the state of cryptocurrency in India and what this means for the Indian economy. An intriguing development that could boost bitcoin adoption in the long run.

If I made add, they can also creates a loop by sending low to high fees back to itself,
overloading the bitcoin network.

Nice catch there pooya87. I'm also amaze how someone will try or attempt to
disrupt the network by doing spam attack. I don't know what benefits someone
doing this to blockchain. However, I think if we have identified a rouge wallet
doing this, can we just block his bitcoin wallet to stop his malicious intent to
clogged the bitcoin network which make legitimate transaction wait for hours
or even days just to process the transaction?

 

Exposing your wallet address in public does not pose a risk although the problem
here is privacy. It makes it easier for others to trace your identify by linking and
following transaction in the blockchain network.

But if you want some privacy so other can't follow your footprints in the blockchain
you should create multi address, with this it is hard to link addresses to you.
There are a lot of wallets there that gives you an option to create multi address,
just choose what fits your current goals GoodLuck!

"NaturalNews.com, InfoWars.com and thousands of other websites have been targeted for
suppression, demonetization or delisting of content by Google and its video site Youtube.com."

I don't understand why Google has been censorship this website. I'm sure Google
will received a lot of negative publicity similar when they blocklist Edward Snowden
came out with his revelations. Eventhough a lot of individual doesn't like the content
of naturalnews but putting a censor by Google is like about information suppression.
I don't know about you guys but we need to sign up in this petition.

The consensus is that investors believe 25% if will be approved, while
markets analyst says 33% it will not be approve. We still have 2 weeks
to know whether or not it will be approve by SEC or not.

Personally I hope it will be approve because we all know that it will
drive the price of bitcoin to a all time high. So it you are horders
of it then you will profit from holding your bitcoin. But still two weeks
before another milestone in bitcoin history.  

I read some of the transcript and kinda funny how Tyron Woodley would play the
"race" card on the table. We all know that D. Johnson has clean up his division
so its hard to promote him no one in his division has match up to him so seldom
that he gets fight, but if he did he was promoted same as other champion.
Jon Jones has its own problem as well, and we see how UFC have promoted him
as well during this championship days. There are a lot of black champions before
him and no one is complaining. The issue with him is his attitude. To quote Dana,

“The thing is with Tyron, he’s a smart guy, he’s a good looking kid, he’s explosive, he’s got knockout power but he’s a bit of a drama queen,” White said when speaking with ESPN recently. “The way that he’s talking about [being] treated, too and I think he means the fans, when a fight is made and Conor McGregor is a perfect example. Conor McGregor has that fight anybody, anywhere attitude but doesn’t just have the attitude, he lives it. I’ve stood in front of him [on] 10 days notice and his opponent falls out and he doesn’t care. He doesn’t care. Bring them all in, I’m better than everybody, I’m the man, I’m the guy.

“If Tyron Woodley had that attitude, Tyron Woodley would be a massive star. But he does these things where he’ll say on Instagram where [the fans] know who’s next, who’s supposed to fight next, and he’ll go on social media and go ‘I’m not fighting him, I don’t want to fight him, I think I want to fight this guy’ and that’s not what people want to hear.  People don’t want to hear that.”

As price has breached all-time-highs (ATH) today, there are some rumblings that the hacked coins from Bitfinex were entering exchanges, which is largely false. Coins that have not moved since the 27th of January, which includes 2,072 transactions and ~118,880BTC, have remained stagnant. Coins which were spent on the 27th of January, including 196 transactions and ~876BTC, continue to move to various locations across the blockchain.

According to Chris Ellis, Bitfinex Community Liaison who is currently investigating the hack, “Some of the coins have gone to various exchanges, websites, or services, including OKcoin, but there is no way of knowing if that entity is the same as the entity who hacked the coins. It is very unlikely there is any association between the two parties.”

Those so called "early adopters" of bitcoin failed because of one simple reason,
they didn't see a good future on bitcoin that's why they either sold every bitcoin
they have or did not invest on it in the long run  But who would predict that bitcoin
will rise its popularity as what we are experiencing right now?

I think if ever I'm one of the lucky one who adopted bitcoin early, I would not
expect to be rich as well. It is up to each individual to make a proper evaluation
and the risks involved investing in bitcoin.



 

Bitcoin has been on a rally over the past week, increasing by almost $200, reaching a near all-time high of $1,140 on the most liquid western exchanges. It is just $26 short of breaching all-time high, but will it?

Here's the full read: https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/will-bitcoin-surpass-time-high-wait-etf/

I think it can surpass bitcoin all time high traders and holders of bitcoin are extremely
happy, however, it still 2 weeks before the decision and we don't know what will
happen in the future..

How about you? Can it surpass the all time high and why?
