By the looks of things you'd probably be better off pointing your GPUs at Kano soon. Unless Kano is planning to follow the majority?
See, that's one of the reason why no one should bother taking any noticed of you. You make moronic comments like that. Damn we've found 5 blocks in the last 25.5hrs ... instead of the expected 2 ...  Yeah our average luck for the last ~23 days has been ... >122% ... gotta suck that you missed out on that  It wasn't a comment about your block-finding abilities. Although I do miss the good old nail-biting days of mining PPLS on a small pool. Kano, thanks for the near miss stats. It really helps cope with the lack of blocks.
Do you offer a mining option for grown-ups who don't want to gamble (PPS)? Anyhew, I was referring to your loyalty to Core, who's been threatening to change PoW if they don't get their way. Are you going to move to Bitcoin Classic if push comes to shove or are you going to let your users gear become obsolete and force them to fire up their GPUs? By the way, whoever mentioned SPV mining being 0 transaction blocks, well they are two different things but they are also commonly used together. Why? Because if you are a scumball, you are going to be one in more than one way, usually many more. So you'll see the terms used in the same conversation.
If anyone tells you not to base your morals on technical data they are just pulling things out of their ass.
What better information would there be to cast a moral decision than using a variable such as technical data? What better facts would come about to help in your quandary? Feelings? Emotions? NO
Facts, information, input from trusted peers, and experience. Funny how the answer in this moral crusade against 0-tx blocks always seems to be that Kano is the only "moral" option. You'd have to be pretty stupid if you think this issue is the only one that matters. Some people here are able to influence others because they have a tag by their name which shows Legendary or Hero, but for the rest of us we are influenced by the people who have a long-standing reputation for honesty and not caring if that comes with being politically correct.
You mean people who run a pool and spend their free time trolling other pools? Moral what, what? By all means, avoid antpool if you want, but if you want to mine with someone who doesn't run around with his head up his ass you're much better off with Bitminter. |

I also think that buying at $375 is a fair price as it in medium range of what it has been for the past year, that is when I started my venture into bitcoin. I am glad I wasn't here when it was at $1200 and just starting out. I would be really upset if I had to sell now at 4x the loss.
Almost any scenario describing someone who began buying at $1,200 is highly unlikely to continue to have that person with an average cost per BTC at $1,200, unless he completely detached and stored away the bitcoins. Accordingly, when people paint pictures of the $1,200 average cost per BTC, they are describing a rare creature, and possibly even a unicorn... hahahahahaha @mixan context: JJG bought at $1200. Might explain his lack of internal monologue.  You are a real pussy, fatman..... engaging in personal attacks, when you do not even know details.... and what about sharing some of your personal BTC investment details as springboards for dialogue? helrow???  I'm the one in the orange shirt And I'm the white knight in a cowboy hat touching your junk. |

This, however, doesn't show who's mining empty blocks.
Do you want that? I can get you that. Last 1008 blocks (7 days). -snip- Looks like antpool is the baddy again. I could swear I saw some f2pool on blockchain.info though. Not really, but for whoever that mattered I'm sure it's nice. Heh I see you didn't like to point out the two pools that have the highest average block size  (Edit: there's a reason why many pools mine empty or small blocks and we don't ...) That's orthogonal to my point and to be honest, I'm not sure which that is. I'm assuming you mean your pool, ckpool? If so, good on you. To be honest, I run p2pool (ideological reasons) and my backup is antpool but I may have to throw you guys in as #2.
I'd be interested as to why elegius is doing so bad but I here Luke-jr is no longer affiliated (?) By the looks of things you'd probably be better off pointing your GPUs at Kano soon. Unless Kano is planning to follow the majority? |

For the noobs asking if this is a bad or good thing; this is the short of it.
Blockchain technology will not and can not work without something like Bitcoin at its core to insure its security; the big legacy banks were told this but they refused to admit it (at lest not publicly).
so...
The Banks were like "we don't need you, will build our own network" and went and highered armies of tech savvy engineers to build the impossible. They failed...
and now after many months of secret back door meetings they are back poking around our community and spreading wads of money to anyone willing to turn to the dark side.
Bitcoin developers, luminaries and figure heads are being lobbied by people with very deep pockets; this is the 3rd and 4th failed attempt to hardfork the Bitcoin network into something they see as more accommodating to their needs.
Can I get paid for this? Link please. I wanna buy a boat!  |

Yeah... your post is saying, I don't know how to read or think or to provide any information.... therefore, I would like you guys to read it for me and to tell me what you think.  Don't you have any thoughts? or are you just trying to get others to do all of the work for you? stop being an asswipe |

So the "current rules for Bitcoin" are set in stone unless the directors of the core repository say otherwise?
Do I have your position understood correctly?
Yes. It's the original rules introduced by Satoshi Nakamoto. Satoshi Nakamoto introduced his 1MB limit to prevent the dust attack also known as the first "stress test". If you disagree with Satoshi's rules, you're getting on a slippery slope. It begins with a block size. Is there so much use? Who knows? Who cares? Next the block time can be put into question. Do we need faster confirmations? But this affects the reward schedule itself. And so on. In the end we have inflationary paradise no more different than the bailout-plagued system of today. |

So what have we learned today? The same word can have multiple and rather vastly different meanings depending on your geographic location and historical understanding.
No, "communism" isn't a subjective term. Some people just use it wrong and/or haven't bothered to really find out what it means. |

(2) property and economical rights of the individual are not absolute but are subordinate to the interests of society as a whole So you are a communist... (3) the state is supposed to provide public services like health care, education, social security, transportation infrastructure, emergency and security services, etc.; So you are a communist... (4) the state should try to ensure equal opportunities to everybody and ensure that everybody has a decent minimal living conditions. So you are a communist... So you are a Nazi? (Did I do that right? :3) Not really. He wrongly labeled a moderate as en extremist. You're spot on. |

Well some of us suspected Bitcoin Classic was a trojan horse meant to change governance and than switch to BIP101 and the numbers are indeed reflecting that -- Up at the highest rated approval we have BIP101 https://bitcoin.consider.it/BIP101Sounds good to me. Democracy in action folks! Letting the mobs of idiots and people who want to destroy bitcoin vote for its future.... wonderful.
That seems to be the majority of bitcoiners. They only have to because Core lost touch with reality. |

Hey Doc! What's your opinion of the fork issue? are you planning on keeping the pool on bitcoin core or do support the Classic proposal (or something else). I'm very happy with this pool BTW (and I'm for remaining on Core).
Third option: Side with the winner after the results are in. This is a suggestion, not an attempt at hijack. |

Is that really any better? High end GPUs (still costing the same as a CPU) run it 5x quicker and that amount is forever going to diverge. So again its not 1 CPU 1 vote, its 1 CPU and back to the 6 GPUs on ribbon risers and 31 votes. Then you have the problems that RAM isn't an infallible resource - PCI-E based SSDs are getting closer and closer to RAM but with 100x the capacity. I am aware even commercial 4x PCI-E SSDs have 250-500x higher latency than core RAM but what could we do if that was the actual objective? It won't take long for a Spondoolies-Tech V2 to work out a Cuckoo42 ASIC. Edit: Seems like you're more concerned with getting the previous pages of discussion buried, I don't think you believe what you're posting. Are the investors calling? I read the Toomin vs Corem pastebin thingy. Is this a flamboyant ragequit or has Guy lost his marbles? Again? |

Unfortunately, when there are so many interpretations of the term "Anarchy"
Isn't that true of any generic socio-political term? 'Socialism' can mean anything from Nazis to Communists to European social Democrats. No, it can't. Stop spreading stoopid. |
