Was the dip today related to the segwit lock in? People speculating on some drama to prevent lockin at this moment?
Great news nonetheless. A big step forward!
I don't know, but the script versioning will be a huge step forward in capabilities available. |

Will bitcoincore accept segwit 2x or will this cause another hard fork later?
We will probably see another fork and bitcoin core 0.15.0 won't support SegWit2x, It will actually disconnect nodes running that proposal from what I read on Reddit. Yeah. WTF https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10982The answer to the "WTF" is in the comments on github and the dev mail list if you wish to understand more of the issues. |

The news is that Segwit hit the 95% lock in just now. Now just waiting until active. (5% more here plus 2016 blocks) [edit for clarity]

Looks like coinbase.com will be supporting Bitcoin Cash...just (probably) not very soon...per their email: ...
Over the last several days, we’ve examined all of the relevant issues and have decided to work on adding support for bitcoin cash for Coinbase customers. We made this decision based on factors such as the security of the network, customer demand, trading volumes, and regulatory considerations.
We are planning to have support for bitcoin cash by January 1, 2018, assuming no additional risks emerge during that time.

I sent btc to bitcrystals wallet from bitcoin wallet.
txid: 2fd5a27d9687323d45dd8f50374c709f8a142925a8eed96bb9bfa42f977d6bb6
Polonyex change this situation?
If you sent it to someone - bitcrystals in this case - you would have to talk to them about refunding it. It already has 127 confirmations (as of now) so they are the only ones who can help you. Did you contact their support? Yes ı sent Poloniex ticket that describes the situation. Will they return my btc back? If Bitcrystals is owned by Poloniex, then they could return the bitcoin. Otherwise, you have to contact Bitcrystals' (whatever that is) support since you sent it to them. I don't think Poloniex would be able to do anything if they don't own them. It would be like getting money from the bank, giving it to someone else and then asking the bank to refund your money. |

Hi, i'm still studying about blockchain and cryptocurrency. Is it possible to generate address using defined text and if i want to reverse address it will give me my own defined text. Example : Email : abcabc@abc.comGenerated address : Lbt4cde316xxxxx Is it possible to do in bitcoin wallet, ethereum, or any altcoin? if yes, please show me how to do Do you mean if you have some text such as "To Be Or not to Be" (or your email address) can you generate a private key and public key from that? As far as reversing it, the nature of a one-way hash should prevent taking a public key and getting the private key, let alone the phrase that generated it. Is that what you are asking? If so, take a look at this: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Brainwallet |

The TLDR summary: we don't like the people of India to have too much freedom because it interferes with our control.

Could SegWit2x Lead to Three Different Bitcoins?
...
SegWit2x isn’t an ordinary compromise, though. One side, the big blockers, had to grant an immediate concession by activating Segregated Witness. They now have to trust that the other side, SegWit supporters, will follow through with their promised block size increase in a few months.
...
It almost seems like the author thinks that some very small group of people can speak for everyone else and bind them to an agreement. That said, I doubt the agreement will be on the NYA timeline, but wouldn't be surprised if a block size increase eventually happened. Getting some of the improvements from segwit, particularly script versioning and the improvements it will enable, was worth a compromise given what it will allow. |

"Strongly offended by facts clearly printed on coinbase's website weeks in advance."
Sounds as if SJW's strongly support BCC.
Not certain if that's a ringing endorsement. Perhaps a sign to avoid bitcoin cash?
Exactly. They posted it, and sent out emails that included advice for moving coins. However, it would be nice if they supported it as I have some BCC to sell. |

Once and IF BCC is determined to merely be an alt coin, then my opinion is BTC will soar. Of course we all have opinions, but right now the new fork appears to me to be a "bump" in the road and beyond that it might be smooth sailing. If I am proven to have guessed wrong I'll switch to the other leg of the new fork, which for now is an easy process.
Rather than that, I think all BCC is proving by hard forking off the blockchain and not really achieving much is that their purpose simply doesn't have support from any major holders or miners. As you have been able to tell from exchange prices, Bitcoin's price has been around what it was in the days before the fork and has not really changed much at all since then. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that it means anything to anyone anymore. I don't even understand how people can dumb something that no one wants. Basically what I am saying is that the new fork cannot even be considered a bump in the road. It did not affect the main chain at all. I am no day trader, but I believe the current BCH price is simply a bubble about to burst. Regarding the high price - perhaps the lack of exchanges that are supporting it makes price discovery difficult since few people can sell allowing easier support. |

what's the diffeeence between bitcoins and blockchain after 1 of Aug
Or perhaps you didn't mean "blockchain.info" but the actual blockchain and you didn't mean "coinbase.com" but the coinbase since you didn't specify that you meant web sites. This has information about the coinbase: https://bitflyer.jp/en/glossary/coinbaseAs far as the bitcoin blockchain: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Block_chainBoth will be the same on August 1, but since (to me) it wasn't clear that you meant "blockchain.info" by "blockchain" and "coinbase.com" by "coinbase" the links above should help round out the discussion. However, the alt-coin BCC blockchain will diverge from the Bitcoin blockchain after August 1st, if it survives. |

Ahh, so it's that simple now that SIGHASH_FORKID has been added - GREAT!
Thanks for the quick reply
You should also be able to copy (not move) the blocks themselves to the appropriate ABC directory and begin from there to save yourself having to resync it all. |
|
|

Also, for example, you can use core client without keeping full blockchain. (i mean you can "cut" blockchain to the last 600 (??) blocks. But synchronization will take some time. Core will download full blockchain and then keep only 600 blocks)
However the way I understood it you still need to keep a full blockchain if you want to run a full node, right? Meaning using a pruned blockchain is merely for personal convenience and doesn't help the network? You must understand one interesting fact: Core wallet (node) doesn't help Bitcoin network. It's only transmitted your transaction to the network and retralnslate transactions of other users (of course, it keeps full blockchain). If you clever enough you can guess that this function can be carried out by ordinary server or site. Only mining nodes influence on anonimity and decentralization. No, it also enforces the protocol rules plus what ranochigo says above. |

As I understand it there are 2 general sides to the scaling issue: - Increase Bitcoin's max block size to scale to more transactions
- Keep the block size small while using off-chain systems like the Lightning network.
At what block sizes would typical users on PCs (with consumer hard drives and home networks) not be able to run Bitcoin nodes or miners anymore? You have to define "typical" to answer that. Additionally you'd have to define where geographically and when. E.g. New York, or London? Or Rabat, or St John's Antigua. Today or next year or 2020? One portable has had a 4TB SSD in it since 2016 with a quad core CPU and 16GB RAM. Is that typical? Now, probably not. In 2019, perhaps. Bandwidth is a large concern too. |

The Bitcoin price rose sharply after Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 91 (BIP 91) was locked in yesterday evening. Charlie Lee, the founder of Litecoin, who has great experience in cryptocurrency Segwit, predicted before that when BIP91 locks in and pools signal SegWit, BTC price will rally hard and it actually did. Read the full article: https://coinidol.com/bip-91-locks-in-and-bitcoin-price-rises-sharply/This doesn't even make sense. I know these sites like to crank out junky clickbait articles, but at least they should be meaningful. |

So I fired up the core client today after a couple of days having it turned off.
Once the blockchain was loaded up and it was ready to go I noticed (for the first time) an error message stating the following: "Warning: Unknown block versions being mined! It's possible unknown rules are in effect".
What does this mean? Are there already posts regarding this? Am I not running the latest core version and is that what's prompting this error message?
I don't want to spread panic or inform people with faulty information but yeah, I'm curious more than anything.
Just setup bitcoin-core 2014 https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/releases/tag/v0.9.1 while it still available for download. Bitcoin-core developers not trustable anymore, too many political interests, money and speculations. Just run the current version. Using a version several years old - while possible - doesn't get the benefits that 0.10, 0.11, 0.12, 0.13 and 0.14 have implemented including HD wallets, faster syncing etc. see: https://bitcoin.org/en/version-history |
