141  Other / Off-topic / Collection of crypto memes on: January 02, 2018, 06:18:32 PM

142  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / How can i view balance/status of BTC blockchain at certain block height? on: January 02, 2018, 02:44:24 PM
So is there any API or similar service, where i could like view the "status" at certain block. Say i want to check the balance of some X address at block height number 1000.

Can i do this easily?
143  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Will Bitcoin scale in 5-10years? on: January 01, 2018, 04:34:44 AM
Can somebody explain their vision as to how Bitcoin(and scallability issue) will exist in say next 5-10 years?

As we know, currently there are only few transactions per second at maximum, the question is, HOW is it going to scale? Is the solution still just a myth? Or is it still an experiment and it may never scale? With LN you'll be able to transact "freely" once the funds are committed, but still a on-chain fee will have to be paid to open and close the channel...

So what's your vision in 5-10 years. Will bitcoin have 100k/tps scallability, or will it be too expensive to use for payments(and only usable as gold) and can never scale?

148  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Lightning Network vs Bitcoin cash on: December 22, 2017, 11:50:34 AM
With the lightning network, if I want to send say 1 bitcoin to someone I have never met and don't know, how will that work in practice?

Will we have to first set up a channel between us and deposit bitcoin in it?  Huh

Well if you want to send the money to someone on lightning network, you need funds commited to it. So yes you will have to pay the on-chain fee to enter the LN.

LN is useless for sending one payment. But it's good for making many. You deposit your monthly expenses and then send 100s of payments off-chain through LN.
149  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Buying mini hydroelectric powerplant for mining operation on: December 22, 2017, 01:42:12 AM
Its not only about buying "mini hydroelectric powerplant" ... There are a lot of things that you need to take in consideration. I was thinking of this as well, and have done research how to do it in my country(even if its 3rd world its expensive). In total it would be 3.5m euros.

In the background of everything, you need to:

1) Buy land
2) Take shit ton of permits from government
3) You need to find PERFECT land, where you are not harming nature, or people(again government)
4) After that you need to find contractors
5) And in the end you need to start working with electricity and hydro pump

Timetable for doing all of this, because you can't do 1 if you don't have another(permits) can take up to 2-3 years. So when you look time needed to do everything, its to much work honestly

What if you buy an already existing hydroelectric powerplant. ROI on the electricity production alone is like 20 years so there would be many intrested in selling.

You just connect to the miners and that's it. No permits needed? Or is it still better to just pay for the electricity?
150  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Buying mini hydroelectric powerplant for mining operation on: December 22, 2017, 01:13:00 AM
I was thinking of buying a small hydroelectric powerplant and start a mining operation.

How many miners could a say 17KW powerplant power? I would have some BTC and some GPU miners.

Is this a good plan. Would this work, or is it not worth it? Say the "powerplant" would cost like 50k$.

Any suggestions?

Some activity right now... I've been hodling for so long, wasn't really worth it though Cheesy Would need a big pump to justify it!
153  Economy / Digital goods / Looking to buy site like Coinmarketcap.com on: December 21, 2017, 02:02:15 AM
Has someone worked on the site that can provide the graphs&prices of cryptos ( similar to coinmarketcap) ?

If someone has made their site,  i might be willing to buy it. Send me the demo in private message!
154  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / 7 million tps on Terrabyte blocks on: December 21, 2017, 01:06:28 AM
I was very supportive for small blocks because decentralization.

Is this true; blocks could process 7 million tps on-chain?
https://news.bitcoin.com/7-million-transactions-a-second-research-paper-declares-1tb-blocks-feasible/

I mean, the on-chain solution would work and could let everybody(even the unbanked) hop on the bandawagon. BUT it would come at a cost of centralization. Can we not trust these miners though? Would they not act in the best of the network?

I want arguments against big blocks. Is the trade-off worth it? Convince me the current roadmap is the right one.
155  Economy / Trading Discussion / Do whales Buy/sell to themself to manipulate markets? on: December 18, 2017, 11:10:38 PM
Is this what is happening with the most pumps? Someone sets to sell XX Bitcoins at price(say 10% higher than market) and then they sell from their other account for that price, and it gives us a one big green candle and noobs be like "the ship is taking off, let's hop aboard!"... and the price starts going up and the whales are dumping at that time with a profit(or trying to provoce an even bigger pump)
156  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / $1000 in NXT ICO is now worth $65M on: December 18, 2017, 11:20:52 AM
Just 1000$ invested in NXT ICO is now worth over 60M$. Probably the best investment in the history of mankind?

160  Bitcoin / Legal / Should i specialize as "Attorney" for Bitcoin/crypto/icos/blockchain? on: December 13, 2017, 01:19:12 PM
So basically i am just asking if there is somebody who provides legal input on Bitcoin/cryptocurrency/blockchain/ICOs and so on. Is it worth it. Is this the niche one should specialize in. Is it already too late?

I am not asking for myself, but for a friend who has studied law in university and basically isn't doing anything with it now. I think that specializing in these "Crypto" things could be VERY beneficial, especially for someone who is earning currently 25k$/year(Although it comes with a normal care-free life, social care,no stress, easy working hours.yeah that's europe..).

Could someone provide their input? Am i wrong, or should i help that person and tell them to get into these things as they could pay off very well? Anyone who is providing legal input on these things, maybe share your experience?
