Lack of respect.

Why are they poor? Ask them that next time, before handing out anything.

I find after extensive investigation it's usually down to a lack of money. Some people are just born to suckle on the shitty end of the stick. And there but for the grace of God go any of us.

It would be a better choice to convert profits into gold instead.  Wink

Sod that. It would just sit there doing nothing while you slowly grew to resent it. I've read of people on here who spent 10-50 BTC on one poxy ounce.

For me I just cant help myself .... I would look at the whatever I purchased with BTC and 5 years later think well that was the most expensive X ever.


Once you've reached a certain plateau does that really matter any more? I assume for most people here it would be a house or two, enough to pay living costs forever and the purchase of a small Asian woman run her little fingers all over your willy.

Beyond that it becomes somewhat academic. I had a £200 Amazon gift card the other day and in the end gave it to someone else because there was genuinely nothing I wanted on the entire site so lord knows what I'd do with trillions, probably troll the Bitcoin markets by gulping up all the sell walls.

According to this one of the largest Korean exchanges has suspended withdrawals. Can anyone shed some light on this?
11605  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: May 24, 2017, 04:24:03 PM
Yep, but they are authentic and were issued with a very little time difference. The 1 zim dollar is from 2007, and the 10 trillion one is from 2008. Awesome, isn't it?

That's some FIAT inflation.


They go for good money on Ebay now. I have some lower denomination ones because I'm too tight for the flagship note.

The Zimbabwean central bank could probably get out of their problems by printing them again and selling them in gift boxes signed by Mugabe.
11606  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: NEM (XEM) Official Thread - 100% New Code - Easy To Use APIs on: May 24, 2017, 03:51:48 PM
Why ETC rises so heavy today ? With this kind of increase, they should overtake us tonight (they already jumped above Litecoin now) ...

In any case, lot of people here predicted massive increase after (according to) Consensus 2017, but nothing happened till now, in fact.

Reason is in the rear view mirror. There are no fundamentals anywhere. It's pure pumpageddon.

As far as I know NEM weren't at Consensus to make any dramatic announcements, just to hang out.

I have downloaded the byteball wallet and chatted with that strange bot, I sent it the signed message but it keeps insisting on me having send 0.001166 BTC to some address. Is that how it is or I am doing something wrong?


Hmm. You shouldn't have to pay anything if you've signed successfully. Did it confirm that you did?

It requires either a successful signing or that BTC fee.
11608  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: May 23, 2017, 11:44:32 PM
After a quick check I found they want facebook identification proof this time around. Either that or you have to put your bitcoins on an exchange in their list. I suppose facebook identification's better than passport scans.

So they want whales to put thousands of coins on Poloniex? That's a jolly tempting offer. With a seemingly unliftable withdrawal limit it'll only take them a few months for the honour of getting their own coins back.
11609  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: May 23, 2017, 11:36:06 PM
Does Stellar still want KYC stuff like passport scans this time around?

No idea. Did they do that last time? That's not very sexy.


Full moon of each month? Jesus Christ, not that I am complaining about free coins... but this is getting weirder any time.

Yes. I think there are a few distribution rounds left. Maybe another 4-6 months or so.
11610  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: May 23, 2017, 11:33:46 PM
Sign a message from your bitcoin address for the byteball distribution. You will get a small drip feed of coins at the full moon of each month provided you don't move your bitcoins.

I second this. There's also Bitcore which you can redeem instantly. Can't remember when the snapshot was taken but you get the equivalent in BTX that you had in BTC at that moment.

Stellar is doing a giveaway of 16 billion thingies based on BTC balances on June 27th.

I couldn't think of a better place to post this and I think it's fitting here. I just sold my stash of 6 years at $2,200. 

Congratulations. Livin' the dream.

bluematt's position is ludicrous. Here is a large contingent which obviously against unqualified adoption of segwit, yet he advocates that unqualified adoption of segwit represents consensus. Autism much?

Here's what he has to say in the aftermath - https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/6cx2d5/core_dev_matt_corallo_blasts_the_compromise/dhy7ja5/

It looks like he felt he was there to do nothing other than rubber stamp whatever they felt like coming up with. Still, he could've attended, upended a few tables and forced them to come up with something better.
11613  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: May 23, 2017, 11:13:41 PM
Ignoring for a moment the issues with full blocks and transaction fees what is the concern with current blocksize?

That surely can't be ignored. That's what's being utilised to throw all these power plays around.

In a way the attitude towards block space was introduced backwards. People got used to using it for the most piffling reasons, whereas perhaps they should've started off respecting it and figuring out the use cases from there.

Looks like a last minute invitation to the final meeting? My understanding was this was in the works for weeks.

No idea. There's not enough context to be able to tell. Maybe some will be supplied at some point by someone.
11615  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Barry Silbert segwit agreement with >80% miner agreement. on: May 23, 2017, 10:27:14 PM
Core developers were NOT invited.

According to this they were.



But I've no idea who or what to believe any more.

It seems everyone is keen to Islam and persecute them when that is exactly what leads to further violence.

This is exactly what ISIS is aiming to do. They want every Muslim in every Western country to be hated and feared. And as we all know by far the largest number of victims of ISIS violence are other Muslims.
11617  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: May 23, 2017, 10:06:38 PM
Parties seem to be slowly converging closer towards possible consensus.

Luke Jr is working on this - https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2017-May/014399.html

Let us hope that everyone moulds it into the least shit option on the table.
11618  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Barry Silbert segwit agreement with >80% miner agreement. on: May 23, 2017, 09:36:17 PM
However according to tweets like this:
https://twitter.com/sysmannet/status/867124645279006720

Some of the countersigners thought they were signing for segwit first so it appears those who signed didn't even know what they were signing.

Fuck me.

Before they left the room each person should've been forced to read the statement out loud and press an 'I agree' button at the end of every sentence.


best thing about this is kicking out the core devs from their throne.  Bitcoin might have a chance now. yay!!!

I think their refusal to turn up reflects rather poorly on them, though I've no idea how much notice was given. It's starting to look a little like they're more interested in sneering than working towards something everyone's happy enough with.
11619  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: May 23, 2017, 09:24:09 PM

Sounds like bitcoin core developers have some reservations about this.

What are bitcoin core's concerns here? Is is a concern that once blocksize is increased once further centralizing block size increases will occur?
Or do they think that widespread consensus to SegWit + 2Mb is not achievable?


Dunno. If the silly sausages had been there then they would've been able to voice those reservations and help draft a better agreement. A bonkers idea I know.

People and companies willing to join big blocktard group are not so much!

He also offered them coffee and bagels. I'd give up my ideals for that.
