The mother of all pumps.

Did I see that Droganoff dude calling a few pages back?

I’m at block 426450. No funny things going on with staking or the masternode.

That would still be a good result for an Airdropped coin 

The 6800 has been a barrier lately. Breaking it would be a bullish signal. But a fail to break it would spoil our summer party.

At least it keeps the thread thriving 

The jury is still out.

I believe that the average overall growth rate of Bitcoin was about 0.47% a day.

That makes a theoretical 2.3x each 180 days.

Not bad.

25-30% efficiency improvement from Schnorr is not 'nothing', but also not earth shaking.

The difference between mining on windows and linus is known. I do not think pool mining will make this any different because the mining will still be done on the local machine.

Perhaps the difference will decrease once the Devs have rewritten the Nimiq code to Ruby, but that is still far away.

The Devs went at length to keep ASICS and GPU out of mining. So it would surprise me if GPU mining would suddenly find a way.

The Steemit Attestation Bot seems down (nothing happens when adding the bot)?

A bit nutty, but his models seem to focus on October 2020 as peak moment: https://hackernoon.com/modelling-bitcoin-price-metcalfes-law-volatility-and-a-simulation-into-the-future-68ea0bcf5370

The distinction between genius and mad is very thin 

The annual yield for early takers in the ICO is currently 0.82%

Not bad for these slump market days and no visual advances in the bank project.

Zero Hedge seems to turn bullish again: https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-07-12/steve-cohen-invests-crypto-hedge-fund

Is that why the mempool is creeping higher now?

What is the significance of the mempool rising:
*people obtaining more Bitcoin (exchanges, locabitcoins)
*people bringing Bitcoin to exchanges to dump
*other things not mentioned

At least all this hammering of the price leads to (the chance on) pressing a stronger bottom. Better bounce, better ensuing rally, better chances of following a H2 2013 scenario.

Haha, an Empire indeed. Including emperors (Doglover, Deeper, Vaas, I am looking at you...).

Keep up!

I sense no despair yet. Although with some Alts, we are getting there
