1% ça ferait plus d'un 1/2 million de personnes, alors oui mais non, pas 1% ça c'est sûr.

Plutôt quelques % de 1% ?

How can it be too low WRT current holders? Unless you want to make a quick profit, it can only benefit them.

It is still to be determined, because airdrop volumes depend on how many BTC and GBYTE is linked using the transition bot. There have already been 8 rounds, about 1 every month (every full moon), and there will be a few more, at the current coverage the bot, I would expect 4, maybe 5 more rounds before it's complete.

What is wrong with $300 for BCash? It's free money after all ...

Only a few hours left before trading goes live and the price is back above $300 already.

I agree that nothing major is likely to happen on the market just because ETH starts trading on Bitstamp, but again the coins that are going on that market must come from somewhere else. It is also likely that Bitstamp users would prefer using ETH as a deposit/withdrawal medium when the mempool is huge like right now, to avoid delays and/or ridiculously high fees.

Have you exported ALL private keys including your change addresses?

If block explorer shows correct balance, you are probably not on the right chain.

What is "any of the windows desktop wallets" exactly? They might be using blocks from the other chain/client.

J'en doute, les bulls n'ont même pas peur visiblement...

Now that is a compelling argument my friend!

I do get your point (I think), but...

On the other hand, going from 20% to 10% for GB holders while decreasing 90% for others only means distribution will be slower in absolute terms, relative to what it could have been previously. But in terms of relative value, previous holders are now benefiting from the fact that their previous airdrops where twice bigger relative to what newcomers will earn (past the change of rules).

Again, overall I think it's a bargain for pretty much everybody.

At the moment, I would rather buy ETH if you want to play safe, or maybe XLM if you want to profit from a probable (massive) recovery. IOTA has soared, but probably too much. NEM and NEO seem to have peaked, too.

Just my 0.00002BTC 

Bitcoin volumes on Bitstamp are about 1/2 the volumes of Bitfinex, so while it might not be a huge deal, it's still some kind of a deal

Well, I'm glad to share the news with the forum, and quite surprised actually that Bitstamp didn't bother to announce it here (apparently).

As for the price, I agree with the fact that ETH (and possibly XRP as many other alts) are oversold right now for... Bitcoin, which seems a bit overbought right now. However I wouldn't dare to short BTC myself even at the current price. 

For me, it's a convenience since I can do SEPA deposits in the evening and get them on my account about 12 hours later. There is zero fee on my deposits and that would not be the case for other exchanges. Until now I had to go through BTC/LTC and move it to Kraken or Bittrex, but with native ETH trading on Stamp, things will be much easier.

Now that would confirm your theory (i.e. I was already buying at another exchange), but I would be more inclined to by ETH alongside BTC with this method more often than before.

I've looked up for ETH threads about this but I couldn't find any, hence this topic.

Bitstamp has announced that they will start trading ETH in 3 days:


Generally, new pairs arriving on major exchange see a price increase due to the increased volume and market potential.

Do you think the market has already anticipated the new trading platform?

IMHO, massively reducing the money supply while still maintaining a decent 10:1 for GB holders can only help the coin in the long run. The price talk shouldn't belong to this thread though, but I'm talking about the distribution in general. Reducing the share of BTC holders is a wise move.

Je conteste (plutôt que blâmer) la mise à égalité de Bitcoin (Core) et BCash. Il y a une différence d'adoption si massive entre la continuité de Bitcoin et la rupture de BCash qu'à mes yeux, on ne peut pas parler de dédoublement de personnalité.

Techniquement, je suis favorable à SegWit et aux side chains, car je ne vois pas d'avenir à la vision de la bière acheté sur la blockchain. C'est tellement systémiquement inefficient à mes yeux de devoir stocker toutes les micro-transactions sur tous les full nodes que non, je n'y crois pas à long terme. D'autre part, il y a le problème de la croissance quadratique du coût de vérification des transactions lorsqu'on augmente la taille des blocs. J'ai posé la question par 2x aux pro "big blocks" de préciser comment ils avaient résolu ce problème (car le whitepaper prétend l'avoir résolu), mais jamais on ne m'a fourni de réponse. Etant donné que l'équipe de ABC a complètement rebasé le code de Core, c'est aussi quasi impossible d'aller le déduire en regardant les commits sur GitHub.

Et encore une fois, le seul reproche tranché que je fais à BCash c'est son nom "Bitcoin Cash" qui ne va pas aider les nouveaux à s'y retrouver entre Core et Cash. Pour le reste, j'ai compilé le code moins de 24h après sa publication sur le dépôt et je fais tourner un full node ABC depuis le début, ça n'est pas tellement l'attitude d'un anti-BCash / anti-open-source / small blocker / whatever. Je suis pour la diversité, mais quand il s'agit de placer mes billes, l'essentiel va clairement à Bitcoin (Core), je vais pas dire le contraire.

What's with trolls and their real/fake claims all over the place? Semantics bullshit...

Reminds me of those presidents who need to remind how "real" they are in their Twitter account names...

... d'ailleurs vu ta signature, je pense que tu es aussi du lobby gay?

Unfortunately I can't, only they can. That's a downside of using an external service such as Blockchain.info instead of a real wallet (which should be open source and provide you with your private keys if desired). If you have any trouble with them, you are at the mercy of their good will, just like you would be when using PayPal or a CC

Typically, Bitcoin Core would have allowed you to abandon such transactions and/or bump its fees. The typical network-level expiry time is 3 days. But it doesn't mean that BC.info wallet will follow this, it might be re-broadcasting the transaction for a long time. If the ticket response was unsatisfactory, I suggest getting back to them anyway, they should be able to provide you with at least an expiry time for your transaction.

Good luck!

I kind of agree with the hard bottom being around 2k, however, panic has to set in one way or another before we test it again. July 17 was driven by (irrational, but that's not the point in a speculative market) hardfork fears, but by the time the fear mongers manage to do this again, the bottom might just has well have moved towards 3k, 4k or whatever
