Basically the person said that we should ignore bad habits (e.g. ad hominem) and do nothing about it. This isn't the right mindset. We should try to encourage people to stop with such time-wasting actions. People should be having technical discussions and spreading positive news (or negative if there are any) as they used to.

You can't. It is up to the people who are on the "wrong side". Both sides (there probably are more) are definitely guilty of a lot of things (e.g. ad hominem), but at least on one side the situation has calmed down. Some 'people' (?) just keep focusing on negativity, targeting individuals, companies and such. They have to choose to stop behaving like this themselves. It is best to stay away from them and spread the word until they do.

What makes you say that?

In that case it would be: Let Core fight XT and then Classic was supposed to emerge as the third party. Seems like the plan failed.

Yes, once you achieve the rank of a full member you should see the option in the place where I've mentioned (in my previous post).

Well, technically it is a maximum of 1 day = 1 activity point (although the update is every 14 days - maximum of 14 points), so you do the math.

I don't see a reason for which one would dislike someone based on their titles, especially since those are just standard.

I'm not surprised anymore as things there are out of control. Either they want to take down person X, company Y or do something ridiculous as that.

The comment section has a lot of stuff that newcommers definitely need to avoid. Basically, this has become a group of people who are fixated with the idea that "Core/Blockstream" needs to go (seemingly, they are one and the same for the majority of them).

Should be much faster than any previous version. I'll assume either: 1) Default settings with average hardware; 2) Old hardware; 3) Other problems. Which is it?

That's a problem on your end. It took my full node 17 hours to download and sync from scratch with default settings. I've recently done this test. We can't really help you without any information.

I concur. Many do not realize this and end up losing their coins.

If you by 'simplest' mean the 'most complex' one, then yes.

Not really.

Downloading, reputable or not, can easily end up being a problem for you. Additionally, visiting unknown porn sites could also be hazardous.

How about telling me your current OS, AV software and HDD space (free on laptop)? What I'd recommend is, create a big VM (as space will be needed) and do all those porn related things within it. You should be fine.

Well then you effectively should care which client we use. In the case of a unlikely "victory" of one client over another (or forks?; it isn't easy to put proper wording on this), you might end up with what you've just described.

Tl;dr: You are both here solely because of potential profit.  

1) Wrong section; 2) You need to be a full member in order to do so.

Reason: Ref. spam.

Yes. The forum has received subpoenas in the past and has complied. Read: BFL Subpoena.

Things don't just suddenly disappear, we live in the real world.

It is not a scam.

Only the average Joe panics over nothing.

Exactly. Bitcoin can't just disappear for no apparent reason.

The activity changes for everyone every ~14 days. The last increase happened on March 29th, and the next one should be 12th of April. Keep in mind that you have to actually be active in the period (post).

Click on 'Profile' -> click on 'Forum Profile Information' (it's on the left). It should be the first option after you become a full member (IIRC).

You are just complicating things now. By using a 2 out of 2 address in gambling you are asking for trouble, some people are bad losers. Just use a 2 out of 3 address and you will be fine.

This doesn't make sense.

Exactly!

You don't understand how 2 of 2 multisig works obviously nor did you understand my post. It is not well suited for gambling. Once someone loses, they can refuse to release their money.

Bitcoin can't shut itself down, nor can your doubt have a direct effect on whether it is 'up' or 'down'.

Because it is most likely that it won't be used again. It wouldn't really make sense to re-use the same joke multiple times.

At least you did not start a thread before checking if there are some that contain information, right? There was a sudden flood of these threads, although I did like the chaos.

It does seem like some of it didn't revert properly. Nothing surprising.

Two out of two isn't the right way to go. What happens when the losing party refuses to let go of their funds? You will end up in a long (possibly 'permanent') stalemate. Just use what was suggested in the link that you've provided:

Odds are bad for the 'no' side. I don't see why someone would want to risk 4 BTC for a potential win of 1 BTC.

This.
Otherwise it would just be an example of neighborhood discrimination. Judging poor neighborhoods by the dirty people who live there? How dare you!

Well, technically there is always a small chance of a possible scam. However, experienced users should usually not have a problem with this (only in rare cases; e.g. someone very trustworthy ends up scamming). I wouldn't say that scams are a big problem for Bitcoin.

Ethereum is a platform. Ripple is horrible.

Only for people who hope to get rich quickly because they've missed the initial 'Bitcoin train'. It is highly unlikely that one is going to come close to Bitcoin in terms of adoption in the foreseeable future.

This has to be some sort of bad joke as this is wrong on many levels.

FTFY and I concur.

You can't blame Bitcoin if you get scammed.
