adding onto what brewmaster said as he covered part of what i was going to say then for the layman part imagine you own 1E7em3nT5AdDr35s address usually you go on to blockchain.info and see lots of transactions 1R4ndomAddr3s5 (0.1) => 1E7em3nT5AdDr35s (0.05) 1R4ndomAddr3s5 (0.1) => 1R4ndomAddr3s5 (0.05) now imagine 1E7em3nT5AdDr35s (0.05) => unabletodecode script decoded: DoL L594729 which refers to ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fretirementallychallenged.files.wordpress.com%2F2014%2F09%2Finch-front.jpg&t=663&c=Qu5nQz1nKwPlSA)

I have talked with one developer and he can incorporate a whole exchange into a single chat bot. You will tell the bot whether you want to buy or sell btc and then will ask how would like to pay like Bank, Webmoney etc and you pay right away on it. There will be a escrow feature as well.
oh so not a chatbot for newb's to learn about bitcoin... but an exchange service.... like an non human/automated irc.bitcoin-otc

Hi,
So i am looking to make a first bitcoin chatbot! In which fields do you think they can help us in better way and save our time?
Let's brainstorm!
Bitcoin chat bot is not that easy to make because it is very complicated and a chat bot will help the people who are in need and even a person doesn't have the knowledge to help all the kind of problems that we are currently facing now so i think it is just a complicated project to make and it will take a lot of effort before you done that well. not complicated. its just using a similar algo as google search.. grab keywords from text box, show response that contains most keywords where the answers are refined if the keyword(s) is combined by 'who', 'why', 'where', 'when', 'how', 'what', 'which', 'will', 'could', 'should' then the algo gives a more precise response. its more time consuming than anything. usually if a query doesnt get a good answer the query is held and then the dev builds better responses for next time. usually in such an event the algo has set 'error' responses like "dude! ask again, but without the waffle".. followed by "Dude! i heard you the first time, ask something else"... followed by "DUDE!! insanity is trying the same thing hoping for something different."... followed by "DUDE!!!! your the kind of guy that loves telephone menu option 9 'press 9 to hear the options again' right?"

a chat box where the answers to FAQ's are peer reviewed by non biased people.
otherwise newb's will just get the same scripted fud that reddit provides them

the other thing can be fake company never making bitcoin. pretends its moved away to set up elsewhere, while publishing numbers of income vs expense in the hopes of grabbing VC money under the pretence they are already established yet only just setting up in the north

Is there anyone surprised? Core is doing everything they can to stall blocksize increase.
And you believe Jihan is not stalling blocksize? He already dropped BU and those r/btc people all felt for his crap that Segwit is cancer, bad etc. And now he's working on a different version of Segwit..lol Jihan's business model is focused on milking out those high fee's as much as possible. do some real research.. reddit is FUD scripter zone not research zone. stay away from it your first fail is to turn everything into a jihan argument as if the 68%-70% nay/abstainers is just 1-2 guys fault. open your eyes, you will surprise yourself at what you see when you dont use reddit as your source

4.5 million kwh/month and pay us more than 1 million yuan per month
thats $0.033 per kwh.... not cheap i guess they decided to go up north and stay up north more long term instead of seasonal
Sichuan is now in wet season and the electricity price will only cost 50% of that of in dry season. i added more to my previous post which might add extra depth to the argument against staying in the south.. but hey im just googling..

might also be that exactly a month after them leaving the southern location southern chinese state electric grid raised the price of non-residential electric http://www.ebeijing.gov.cn/BeijingInformation/BeijingNewsUpdate/t1094426.htmChina's National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), the top economic planning agency, Thursday announced a rise in the price of electricity for non-residential use by 2.8 fen ($0.4 cents) per kWh on average nationwide, as of Friday. and for commercial use 79 fen per kWh, according to Beijing Electric Power Corporation. .. might help explain it.. coal in the south isnt as cheap as hydro electric in the north
also mongolia is having big growth and able to offer special discounts,.. as another possible layer as to why they would had north sooner

1. its just more efficient method of mining. just like the GPU mining days of OpenCL vs kuda
horseshit, it results in jihad mining empty blocks and congestion in transactions and higher fees. And bigger blocks won't solve it lol covert asic boost is not related to empty blocks. might be worth you researching the difference. even if covert was disabled... empty block mining still occurs also although antpool has a chinese licence for asic boost, other pools can be using it and you wouldnt even know it Gmaxwells argument is not that jihan is/could be using it. its that bitcoin has an exploit.. luke Jr wants to use it to try sliding in segwit and other future features without concensus veto asicboost can be used to help asics be more efficient and strengthen the network against outside attackers and its a fight over who deserves to use it. or if no one should use it for instance if left open. some dev could slide in a trojan that wasnt 'virtuous' for instance if left open. some non bitcoin pool could make a private chain with less ASICS but build higher blockheight privately. and then broadcast it to the network to take over the chain.. gmax wont say it as it will just put idea's into people heads and he would get slammed for hinting it should it ever happen but anyway lets deal with other pools that do empty blocks btc.com does https://blockchain.info/block-height/468613bixin.com does https://blockchain.info/block-height/4688731hash does https://blockchain.info/block-height/468570f2pool does https://blockchain.info/block-height/468721 viabtc does https://blockchain.info/block-height/468612btc.top does https://blockchain.info/block-height/468415

I'm glad Jeff opened that discussion. Looks like Jeff is trying to reassure everyone that asicboost will be disabled, but he's kinda dancing around the issue and gmaxwell (judging from his most recent comment) is not yet convinced. gmaxwels gripe was asicboost hinders segwit 'backward compatibility easy to implement' functionality promise.. "the protocol interactions of the covert method can block the implementation of virtuous* improvements such as segregated witness" in short asicboost uses the same trojan horse exploit backdoor as what segwit needs ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FNGcau5v.png&t=663&c=nb27TVZIqPYnXg) however if segwit functions via jgarzigs implementation then asicboost becomes a non issue to segwit. however filling this exploit backdoor would not only stop asicboost, but could also stop segwits 'promise' of sliding in later soft upgrades via the same backdoor exploit. (use of virtuous: morally accepted trojan by the use of an exploit backdoor to enter the protocol, accepted because 'the good guys use it) to be honest, id say fill the exploit. dont let anyone have a backdoor

my take is that DCG got fed up with blockstream and forced the compromise..maybe bitcoin still gets SW but it also gets HF and upgrade not authored by Core.
untill i see code that includes an activation date of 2mb... its all just drama remember its the same 2mb +segwit that was proposed in late 2015 roundtable.. then again at spring 2016 roundtable pretty much every round table its the same thing...

But which party does the "emergent consensus" stand for?
That's Bitcoin Unlimited. Due to the massive incompetence of the BU developers and frequent failures in their software, they have started renaming the listing from BU to emergent consensus (e.g. on coin.dance). Don't even mention Bitcoin Unlimited, LOL
The cancer of the Bitcoin ecosystem. 1. lauda has no clue, he is just a mouthpiece of blockstream 2. his rebuttle ends up with waffle that he usually ends up saying 2 words "nonsensical" and "ad-hominem" 3. dynamics has always been much wider than just BU. its not bu rebranding to emergent consenusus.. its actually coin.dance realising that there is more to it than just BU 4. UASF and segwit has more lines of code that will kill off more full nodes and pools than any other bip/implementation/brand. making UASF the main cancer 5. right now the DCG cartel are making 4 segwit debates to confuse the community to hope it convinces the community that the only way is segwit. much like if hilary was being elected at same time as trump. hilary would also get bill clinton on the ballot paper and then get another listing where its a dual hilary and trump presidency and a hilary in trousers and hilary in skirt ballot... all in an effort to try diluting trump supporters, and get the media only talking about the many hilary options which in the end have the same crapy cludgy manifesto its all just distractions

You have a point, but I don't think fees are the primary purpose right now as block rewards are still much better than the fees and the fees usually just goes to the pools. Though probably if they keep this up, when we have had enough halvings then the rewards will be lower then the fees then they will surely forget about scaling.
it doesnt matter when the flip of when fee becomes income and reward becomes a bonus happens.. if their block is not accepted by the community to build ontop of the longest chain they cant spend a thing they earn reward or fee. its still a matter of pools sticking to the community consensus to ensure thier blocks get accepted into the longest chain so they can spend anything. whether its income:bonus reward : fee - now fee : reward - many decades time with that said pools DO want to scale to allow more transactions in, because getting 10cents each from 200,000 tx is a healthier currency that has longevity and utility... compared to hoping for $10 each from 2000 tx, which is not a currency that has longevity but its all about the competition/race to get an acceptable block which muddies the non-mining nodes opinion of what pools do or do not want. because the non-mining users dont understand the number of game theories at play.

pools dont care about fee's research empty blocks
they care more about just getting their block accepted.. fee or no fee if the block is not accepted they cant spend anything.. not the fee not the reward.
pools primarily care about the block reward.

They can call it what ever they want, but those coins should be in their customers' control if there is a split.
if your funds are in an exchange you have no control.. learn lessons from 8 years of "we Been hacked bankruptcies" you can only HOPE they do the honourable thing.

Can anyone speculate how much of the total hashing power would be behind UASF? Would it be good to assume that the 30% that are signalling Segwit now would all support UASF?
30% would surely cause a split.
UASF itself causes a split... deemed as a hard bilateral split* which is: much much worse than a hard contentious upgrade much much much worse than a hard consensual upgrade * technically if its User activated (non mining) then its a hard bilateral split, not soft but if they want to pretend its 'soft' (not user related) then its actually MAST not UASF but core do love playing buzzword games to stroke people to sleep with false pretenses of soft cushions and fluffy clouds

August 1 is core Tier-dependence Day.
FTFY P.S pools did not ask to be the only electorate.. that was lue JR soft exploit 2015.. research it pools do not care about fee's as much as ensuring they atleast solve a block.. research empty block. pools care about ensuring they atleast solve a block.. research blocks getting rejected purely out of UASF bias not due to invalid tx's, just brand bias core conservative? what have they conserved. core removed the fee control mechanisms core introduced new double spend mechanisms of unconfirmed tx bait/switch techniques core allow a single tx to take up 10-20% of a block as for this new proposal.. its all still the same group. DCG is still the BS cartel (BlockStream Barry Silbert) its the same empty promises since 2015, just glossed over, but not actually any different wake up

That supposedly secretive NY meeting strongly reminds me of the events that preceded the establishment of the Fed in 1913. I refer to the meeting at the Jekyll Island Club (off the coast of Georgia), where a group of US senators, financiers and bankers gathered together to write a plan to reform the US banking system, which laid the foundation of what would later become known as the Fed. The difference between now and then is that the ordinary US dollar users and holders didn't have a say back then. But today is not then So this meeting may be not what you expect it to be or lead to You have it backwards. The formation of Blockstream was the modern day Jekyll Island. The NY meeting and miners are what's taking it back (although skipping segwit would be best). nah blockstream is Dr jekyll.. but DCG has always been the island scaling is not solved by DCG either. its just kicking the can down the road some more.

blockchain projects do not just mean creating an altcoin. it can mean a service
bitpay is a blockchain project trezor is a blockchain project merchant tools and data analyst tools to visualise blockchain data is a blockchain project asic manufactoring is a blockchain project smart contracts is a blockchain project retail support to accept crypto is a blockchain project conference organising for cryptocurrncy meetups is a blockchain project blockchain consulting clothing manufacturing featuring crypto memes/logo's is a blockchain project
there is much much more to it than just making an altcoin
