Very exciting indeed. So are we are about lockstep with Moore's law now? I guess some manufacturers managed to get efficiency gains without higher density lithography but I have not closely followed any individual product lines. In other words, when can we expect improvements to SHA-256 ASICs to happen on predictable timescales that are equivalent with the rest of the semiconductor industry?

Price is $453 and holding.

If you're hoping for economic disaster, you're probably an asshole. Smiley
Or very K-selected.

The current system doesn't work. It is going to collapse, likely starting to come to a head around 2020. The longer it takes the worse it will be, so the sooner it happens the better. Hopes and wants have nothing to do with it, it is simply cause and effect.
Wow, r/K selection theory on bitcointalk.

I got involved in bitcoin because I believed it has the capability to make the world a more free and fair place. That makes it psychologically easy to hold indefinitely.

ENTP here

Vladimir "I also noticed that there is disproportionally high numbers of INTP's and ENTP's among bitcoin early and not so early adopters as compared to general population (but there is no credible research known on this)."

INTP here, early adopter. So sad Vladimir is gone... he did start the club after all.

All the picks are in so good luck to everyone! We almost lost about another day this round : Reward-Drop ETA: 2016-07-21 03:33:34 UTC

Maybe you want to contact the hosting provider and ask them who owns 5.134.117.43 at the moment. The host takes bitcoin though so it might be hard to trace. They also do CC, PayPal, and wire transfer.
167  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: BTCrow Escrow Service - Fraud(?) on: December 13, 2015, 05:46:42 AM
It looks like it came from a webmail program iRedMail, running on a VPS in Alicante, Spain.

X-PHP-Originating-Script: 1000:functions.php

The IP of that machine is 5.134.117.43. This is the hosting provider, http://lowendbox.com/tag/ginernet-com/

168  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: BTCrow Escrow Service - Fraud(?) on: December 13, 2015, 02:51:22 AM
Did you see the new message which pops up when you go to their site?
169  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: BTCrow Escrow Service - Fraud(?) on: December 13, 2015, 02:40:13 AM
Do you know which email is that one that is supposedly spoofed?

For the moment it dosent look like chines are too excited about passing 3000 yuan level.

Are they still sleeping at Saturday morning? Its 9:00 am there.

... that's ok, we got the Indians, Koreans, Malaysians, Indonesians, South Africans, Russians, Ukrainians, Brazilians, Argentinians, Venezuelans coming on-line.
I'm currently in Buenos Aires and bitcoin is hot here but most remain skeptical and unaware, although they have 0% trust in the banks or their government's fiat. The new president took his oath of office yesterday and promises to remove the multiple exchange rate system. At the moment cell phones cost 2x more than they do in back in the land of the yankee due to import restrictions as well as other ridiculous policies of Kirchnerism.

Ahh, thanks for clarifying, I misunderstood.

Well, you guys might get a kick out of this email between a friend and I from early 2011. A bit off topic but something I miss.  Cool

172  Economy / Speculation / Re: Things I miss about bitcoin trading from 2013 on: December 11, 2015, 11:31:46 PM

Huh. Guess I have to take back the noobcake then. 3-4 years before I even heard of it.

Not at all. There's a world of difference between hearing a word and actually taking the plunge into it. It was more than a mention on the radio. I think it was an outline on some sort of anarchist forum.

I do recall saying to myself 'hmm, maybe I should get me a Bitcoin position'. Judging by my affluence today I guess I was distracted by a passing slice of cake and failed to heed my own advice until countless years later.
You must mean 2011. Bitcoin was not mentioned on the radio in 2009. Smiley

Just something to think about for when the price really starts moving up. The hash rate is going to be unbelievable.

The halving ETA keeps moving closer and closer : 2016-07-21 12:10:50 UTC (31 weeks, 6 days, 12 hours, 40 minutes)

Network capacity is more as well as more space is available due to a larger number of blocks per fixed time period.
174  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Setting up new diff thread Dec 6 to Dec 20 picks open. on: December 11, 2015, 02:34:19 AM
+21.4 = keystroke

This is crazy...

Thanks!

Has anyone done research into simulations to estimate the possible savings which would be fained by using transaction cut-through?

The GnuPG preferred hashing algorithm metadata is hard proof of a hoax. Actually hard evidence rather than the circumstantial stuff from the articles. Forensics experts got out-forensics'ed.
177  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Police Raid Home of Alleged "Bitcoin Creator" Craig Wright on: December 09, 2015, 07:54:10 AM
At least Dorian didn't get raided! I would like to see all of the notOshis get together for a party one day.
178  Economy / Speculation / Re: Unable to break $400 on: December 09, 2015, 07:45:56 AM
His account is registered in 2010 so I fear he sold all of his bitcoins for $5. Sometimes you just have to move on.  Wink
179  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC price in 2016 on: December 09, 2015, 07:44:13 AM
Maybe a small run-up towards $500 before early next year new EU and US legislation criminalize all possession and use cases of unlicensed (read: not government/bank controlled) digital/virtual currency. I suspect this will bring the prices down well under $50 before it slowly fades away into a distant memory of what could have been.
Are you willing to make a bet on that? I will happily take the opposing side.
180  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is this Satoshi, and if so, what does his 1M btc mean for bitcoin's price? on: December 09, 2015, 03:41:25 AM
I have held my bitcoin up until now but I have to sell as unfortunately I only invest in cryptos with anonymous authors.
