Is account farming common here? How much can somebody make by doing it? Surely it's far too much effort to create dozens of accounts with new email address, passwords & usernames. You'd have to remember the log in details & post constructively on dozens of accounts to upgrade their membership limits.
I guess they normally get sold at full member level?
it's not worth it, and because of this now there is the new trend to sell less ranked account but with green trust, so they are more valuable and faster to sell a member account with good trust can have the same value of a senior, this tells you how much time they can save, by not farming senior.... a part from this, i'm for a neutral rate, unless it is discovered that the owner was a scammer or that the new owner is a scammer |

this is actually a problem, because there are many that are doing exactly this trick to increase value and sell a lower rank account for a better price, and it seems fairly easy doing so with some members, via escrow
basically here the strategy
1 user makes two account, then call an escrower and tell him that he want to escrow with his other account; obviously the escrower does not know anything, then the escrow leave the good feedback to both or to one only, and done, in any case the user is feeding himself with illegitimate trust

i doubt of this century because last years bitcoin was called the worst investment of the year, maybe we really need to wait until fees era to have something good from bitcoin
but i actually don't care too much, because i'll use bitcoin regardless of it going mainstream or not, because i like the way money can be transfered with it, and the fact that no one can know how many money you are holding with bitcoin...

XT fork requiert that 75% of the new block are create with XT. read what it's happend with the BIP66 ...  If 75% of new blocks are created with XT then XT fork will take place. From that point on there will 2 separate networks and independent blockchains. 100% of Bitcoin blocks will be created with Bitcoin Core and 100% of XT blocks will be created with XT. What's the problem with BIP66? i don't think it work in that way, the point is to not create an altcoin, so if the majority choose bitcoin xt, then so it will be, no core will exist anymore, so no double spending or other thing like that at least this how it should be, but i've heard about 90% for consensus |

well but what he is doing only matter because of XT, otherwise he wil be ignored, but i'm starting to believe that there should be also a consensus about choosing the right developers and not only about the new version to implement
i know that bitcoin is open source but this does not mean that any dev is ok to work on it...

2020 is not that far it will stick to 500.
from 2010 to today bitcoin rised x250, so it's not that far but this does not eman that it is not a significant time frame, there is the big possibility of a good increase that can adds two zeroes |

hi
i have a fear that is BTC value going to fall down because i have stored 20 BTC in my wallet. If any experts here please tell me is price going to drop or else it will increases ?
No one can know what the price will be in the future. If you are here for the long term you shouldn't care that much about the price, just forget about your BTC and check back again a year from now, otherwise its too stressing. Right, nobody knows where this is going... Upcoming hard fork... Orderbooks showing massive selling pressure... Nooo ideaaa where this is going.. lol last time the bad news about forking did not impact so much the price, so the new dram will not do anything no reason to sell in time, only because you may think that the price will tank because of the possible fork |

i don't care about who is behind the scene, nor about bitcoin xt, but bigger blocks are needed, if you want this baby to grows, it's like not giving the good amount of foods to your children...

because they want to avoid some hassles about gambling, it's a pain in the ass to do it legally with fiat, the same for poker and everything akain
and because other people want to avoid some form of taxation, and stay overall more anon

aren't they implementing an anti-ddos which should be better than the core version? it should solve in part those possible attacks that may occur
I have no idea of what you are talking about, but the attack suggested by Nick Szabo doesn't seem to be solvable by some kind of magic anti-ddos. It's inherent to Bitcoin and is made easier by larger blocks. those are the new features besides bigger block Bigger blocks Double spend relaying Better DoS attack defences BIP 65 / getutxos support DNS seed list refresh better dos attack defences should mean something, but i don't know how efficient, they will be |

Satoshi wouldn't actually need to write any words to express a negative opinion about recent developments.
All he'd need to do is dump a few thousand BTC from one of his known wallets.
you think that he is so stupid to dump at this current rate when there was a 1200 peak and all kind of better price than this? would be the stupid move ever |

isn't the blockchain only 40gb, any ssd (especially evo) can do it without the need to put your blockchain in a standard hdd, i usually do not store too much data in my hard disk, if somethign isn't needed is erase
40-50gb weren't a problem even 5 years ago let alone righ now, and like i've said many time there are game nowadays that have a bigger size than that and people play them normally on their ssd without buying xxx tera...

maybe he really want bitcoin to succeed unlike many other? it's true that without bigger block bitcoin can embrace a large volume of TX and i'm not talking about the stress test volume that was a joke in comparison with a real big volume that awaits bitcoin if become mainstream
or maybe he know that the volume will rise with the halving and he want to go ahead and make the change before that happen
Why then make increases so aggressive? There are two BIPs apart from Gavin's that are more reasonable and thus more likely to reach wider consensus. Yet he still take the most radical approach. That's not how consensus is reached, that's how the system is put in jeopardy. Rusty Russel concludes: Thus I revise my bandwidth estimates; instead of 17% per annum this suggests 30% per annum as a reasonable growth rate. 30% per annum, good. What's the annual rate of increase in Gavin's exponential function? Well, it's 41.4% per annum, which is clearly beyond the pace of technological advances in bandwidth. Not to mention that the past experience doesn't guarantee the future progress.  aren't they implementing an anti-ddos which should be better than the core version? it should solve in part those possible attacks that may occur |

i think that start to mining with one gear only is a bit pointless, in this industry you should go big if you want soemthign, otherwise you're earning pennies
i mea we are talking about 0.011, this same amount can be rewached with signature campiagn with few post a day without wasting any electricity

not until it's block limit sis limtied so much that it isn't possible to beat even paypal, to replce somethign like dollar you need to sustain the biggest adoption you can ever get, and as long as the other issue are nto resolved you can't achieve that
and i'm with satoshi on this one, if satoshi will succed this will happen around 2030(20 from the creation) if not you will get something which will work for nerd only...

yeah but for now only online and especially with gambling site, but overall with everything else, because i do not need to put my cvv and other sensitive info of my credit cards, which is always a danger
i've heard about people that have their money stolen from their card some times, with certain site, because the employees can use the stored data and use your card
if you think about it they have the same security of a online exchange if someone hack it you lost big

So, it it actually possible to make a profit using a cloud mining service?
Possibly by mining certain altcoins, I would think?
if you do not get the situation that was discovered with cex.io where their stopped their mining activity because their miners was not profitable anymore, and investors lost basically tons of money, maybe you can hope to do roi in 5 months certainly if someone has roi already because he started this years, now he is ahead and he is making a good profit, if he start big.... |

It's going to have to fork to allow bigger blocks, eventually. That's pretty much inevitable. What is the value in delaying it? Wouldn't the fork be more damaging in the future, when there are more nodes and investors on the line?
they think they can find a better solution in a few months time-frame, i believe that if this is the case they should've worked for those solution long way before, now it's too late we need to build immedaitely a solution or maybe some of them want that those changes are implemented directly in bitcoin core and not in an "alternative client" |

the last one was hdd mining, because it was basically free in terms of electricity and low heat which is good in summer, but sadly the only coins using it seems pretty much done now, maybe in the future if other coins like that can emerge one can think about returning into the scene
other kind of miners are useless because of high electricity
