Unlike on-chain transactions, off-chain transactions aren't limited in capacity, so market mechanisms should lead to an equilibrium between cost and profit. If fees go up a lot, new parties can join the LN-routing-market and fees will go down again until there's a new equilibrium. Isn't that the same as mining, hashing power, and demand? Because offchain channels are also as limited as the amount of capital, the Bitcoins held, the users have. No amount of hashing power, capital or earnings per block can increase the number of transactions Bitcoin can process (I'm ignoring small fluctuations until the next difficulty adjustment). With LN, anyone with some coins can set up a node, which increases the number of available routes. The new node will need to connect to some nodes (or users). I've seen several offers from node-owners that pay to open a channel with them.

The password could have been changed before BPIP started tracking changes. Regarding the languages; it's not strange that a Dutch national does also speak French and/or German, they're close so it does make sense. There are also Indonesians who speak Dutch. I know some of them in the Netherlands, so some of them probably live in Belgium too. However, "Maarten" doesn't sound like an Indonesian name, and he didn't say he speaks Indonesian when he listed his languages in 2015: 3talig: vlaams, engels en frans, roestig duits en hakkel spaans ^^ lezen gaat veel beter met die 2 laatste haha

As part of this process some European users may be asked to provide additional proof of age when attempting to watch mature content. If our systems are unable to establish that a viewer is above the age of 18, we will request that they provide a valid ID or credit card to verify their age. We’ve built our age-verification process in keeping with Google’s Privacy and Security Principles. Nice try Google, you don't get my creditcard number! Since when has Youtube adult videos anyway? It's not as if they're competing with NSFW, which doesn't ask for anything before showing everything. The main problem my kids have is watching Youtube videos in weird languages, but they don't give the option to only show selected languages.

Please share this story everywhere. That won't help anyone. Sure, I could just sell the MTH for BTC and cash the BTC out. This would work just right now. But that's not what I want. I created the Binance Account to buy MTH and other small coins and I insist on MY MTH do being paid out to me. May I ask why you spent 50.000€ on some shittoken? That's one hell of a gamble at any exchange!

if do you agree with it being trased do you support censorship The forum rules are clear about it: 1. No zero or low value, pointless or uninteresting posts or threads. I'd say " Please select an option that is true" is pretty low value. Millions of low-value posts have been deleted. You call that censorship, I call it keeping the forum clean.

Then if adopted, will the Lightning Network's fees not be "unfairly cheap" forever? Unlike on-chain transactions, off-chain transactions aren't limited in capacity, so market mechanisms should lead to an equilibrium between cost and profit. If fees go up a lot, new parties can join the LN-routing-market and fees will go down again until there's a new equilibrium. Is there some truth to what some people said that LN fees might be more than some altcoins' fees, because of limited capital, opportunity cost, and demand? Yes ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) An XLM transaction for instance costs 0.00001 XLM, which is about $0.0000008 or 5 msat (0.00000000005 BTC). There's no chance and no need for Bitcoin to compete with this, because it's Bitcoin, and not some altcoin.

beware of this account too NLNico. I haven't seen any reason to doubt NLNico's motives, and he's on my Trust list. it is either run by betking dean or he is a cohort of dean the scammer or he is paid to support dean and give fake feedbacks to dean NLNico left BetKing.io positive feedback on 2015-12-04, and I believe it was justified at that time. and give negative feedbacks to anyone that attacks dean He hasn't tagged JollyGood or me, so this is not true.

I was really referring to post counts though My bad, I assumed you meant only the number of Merited posts per thread.
|
|
|
Why aren't exchanges starting to run/operate their own Lightning nodes? The incentive is there. I don't think they care about earning 0.2 BTC in several months, or 0.25% on withdrawing small transactions (they earn much more from the common 0.5 m BTC withdrawal fee).

I do not have the post count though, to derive the merit/post. That should be easy to get from all Merit data. I don't have data per board, but it's easy per thread.

Dean deleted this from his thread Here's an update: https://loyce.club/archive/details/topic_5287374.html
retard. your stupid false accusation. If you are incapable of reading post nonsense claims of scam just waffle on sad, pathetic losers the same shit that's just stupid these clowns Such a professional business ethics, where have I seen that before? ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) It's so typical for scammers to start calling people names when they're called out on their scam. It's also very common for scammers to mention none-existing "investors who trust them with their money". It's a standard trick from the scammer handbook to convince gullible people to hand over their money too. If only you'd have any style, I'd make you a poetry thread too.
Don't pull out loyce ~ He doesn't count (his tokens were worth ~ $600 max ~ Where are all the people that lost real money that matters? If $600 (actually it was over $700 by my count) is not "real money", how come you had to scam me for it instead of paying it as you should have? Isn't it funny you got many negative feedbacks and a big red Flag for something that you think "isn't real money"? Was it worth the $700 Dean, or did it cost you much more in new scams that failed thanks to the big red warnings on your accounts? If that's the case, it was for sure worth $700 to me! The irony is: I'd have to withdraw my Flag if I'd be made whole: BetKing.io did not make the victims of this act roughly whole, AND it is not the case that all of the victims forgave the act. Now it takes 10 years for the Flag to expire. Enjoy.

It's not going to change anything as far as the deleted post goes. I've seen theymos restore a post in a heated discussion in Politics & Society, but it's quite rare indeed. looks like it was reported as a necrobump. It wasn't a necrobump: OP bumped the topic 3 days earlier, which is allowed. It also makes sense OP deleted his bump after another post was made (I do that too when I notice it), so to the Mod it looked like a necrobump. If negrobumping would be the reason, it doesn't make sense that posts made after that (and even quoting NotATether) were left alone.

In brainwallet try to use the QT version, paste the message without the extra new line. Then just add it yourself and it will work, but in the permalink will fail to verify, weird. Looks like a bug, just report it ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Yet every bad I get pisses me off so much that it is quite remarkable even to myself. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) . I always wonder what exactly I typed for the bad report. Unfortunately I can't see that anymore, and I report too many posts to remember everything. My latest bad report was on this post. I'm pretty sure I reported it because it's a duplicate of this post, which isn't allowed: 12. No duplicate posting in multiple boards (except for re-posting it in the local language boards if it's translated).
You can have a duplicate thread in both the bitcoin and alt coin marketplaces obviously providing they accept the relevant currencies, if that's what's happened here. Thanks, that explains it. You can always PM a Global mod at the time and ask them what the report was marked bad for. I don't want to create more work for them for the few bad reports I get.

Guess they target high profile and controversial addresses. I'm more surprised they also target addresses with a very low balance. This address was first used 8 days ago, and has received only 0.00500547 BTC in total. None of this makes much sense ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)

It would be amazing if we were able to upload images directly on bitcointalk while posting. I don't know if this would be possible from an extension? Btw with our image hosting, we would be able to integrate compression and resize tools and save a lot of space while giving comfort to users. I quickly searched for it when I posted this, and there are several image upload scripts out there. If anyone's in for a project ..... ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

LN is a bit like a spoke-hub: instead of making a connection from anywhere to anywhere, everyone makes only a few connections. That's just plain wrong. The Lightning Network is completely distributed at its core. But..... How far is the current Lightning Network from being completely distributed? I get that it's theoretically possible, just like it's possible to send a letter from A to B without using a centralized distribution center, but I'd expect a few large nodes to handle the majority of transactions because it's much more efficient that way. That's 0.25% fee on average, not bad for small transactions (paying 5 sat to send 2000 sat), but if you're sending a few m BTC, on-chain fees can be lower already. From what I've seen so far, this is much more likely: Realistically I have earned 326 Satoshi over the last two years
