In what way does it not work for you? Do you get an error message or something? Did you complete the captcha? Have you tried using a different browser?



I just got this, tried it on two different computers and with 2 different email addresses (I'll probably just email them though now to add me).

Bitcoin Dev Mailing List - https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bitcoin-dev
If you click on the link for the archives, you can see what is being discussed recently.


I've not seen this one before, does anyone know if it's possible to subscribe to it (I attempted with 2 different emails and didn't have any luck - just curious for a digest every so often or something).
1663  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: The market is at the most oversold level on: January 25, 2022, 04:29:54 PM
If we're as oversold as we were back in March 2020, I think that says something pretty good about where we're at right now.

The price back then was $3k, now we're at $30k, sure oversold/the rsi might not mean much on its own but it's interesting to see where bitcoins come in 2 years. It's had fairly stable highs too which means there's probably still a lot of confidence in it (even during drops).
1664  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Choosing the right exchange on: January 25, 2022, 04:03:13 PM
You can likely go with either and still get something filled.

There's quite a large gap in the order books (lowest bid v highest ask) from your screenshot which means it's hard to tell where would be the best place to get the order fulfilled and it'll probably either fill for your price on both or neither if volume is that high...
1665  Economy / Economics / Re: Overseing health and environmental impact of high energy required in Bitcoin on: January 25, 2022, 03:53:20 PM
I did think, as long as renewable energy can become cheaper and as long as there's space to install it, it'll likely take over as the main producer of mining electricity.

The only way to reduce fossil fuel output is to put up tax on the fossil fuels or drop the cost on renewable energy producers (until either of those happens, nothing will change much).
1666  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Investor Psychology on: January 25, 2022, 05:07:03 AM
I think this is an idea people might not have noticed ot be too familiar with but I imagine a lot of retail investors like to buy crashes and it's companies competing with each other that like to sell them.

If you think about the 20%+ crashes in the stock market that happen, a lot are likely caused by companies trying to push the price lower in a coordinated effort to buy more for cheaper - the same might be true for bitcoin.

1667  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Wikipedia Editors Have Voted Not to Classify NFTs as Art, Sparking Outrage on: January 25, 2022, 02:24:46 AM
The only way I see this as a question is if by "art" it means the original copy.

I think I'd consider it on a category of its own though but maybe so should "normal art" be devised into genres with most expensive pieces being listed there (by genre) and not as an overall thing.

I'd consider nfts art but I might consider a lot of other things that wouldn't meet the standards of Wikipedia editors too, and then there's the question of where you'd place animated nfts (if those exist).

1669  Economy / Economics / Re: What If? on: January 24, 2022, 07:03:56 PM
Most large companies in the US have subsidiaries in the EU - so they can just use European currencies. I doubt much will actually change if China decided to "stop" accepting dollars (even though it probably doesn't have power to do that and doesn't want anyone holding its own currency for long).
1670  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Representing bitcointalk.org letters in crypto terms on: January 24, 2022, 03:35:39 PM

PS. It's interesting though where blockchaintalk.org redirects to.

I thought satoshi got overexcited and registered that domain but it got registered in September 2014...

The Theymos v Cobra divorce settlement mightve been more comprehensive than we thought Grin
1671  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Representing bitcointalk.org letters in crypto terms on: January 24, 2022, 03:20:26 PM
Still, the first letter should come from Bitcoin itself.

I think blockchain is a better choice there though Smiley?

But why so much effort? Why?

It is entertainment. Like the one who does crossword puzzles, or in this case more like the one who creates them. I like what he has done.

It's kinda a good test of what people know themselves too to do puzzles like these. I think a lot of language teachings include things like these.
1672  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: The relationship between educational qualification and quality of post. on: January 24, 2022, 03:15:33 PM
I think the experience part has the biggest weighting here.

If you're good at accurately learning/doing research then your posting quality will probably be at its best regardless of what education status you have (even if you can learn things better in another language).

1673  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What michael saylor will do? on: January 24, 2022, 02:58:03 PM
It's the company (microstrategy) that holds the btc and they seemed to have a lot of assets too (eg computers) which can much more logically be sold or used to earn something passively even if their bitcoin investment goes poorly overall (and virtually every fund that invests in bitcoin recommends holding it for 4 years to see the pessimistic targets being positive - most developed country stock index funds should be held for 6 years for the same reason).
1674  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What happens to your network if bitcointalk go offline on: January 23, 2022, 08:48:36 PM
A lot of people might hop across to stack overflow or reddit.

There are other communities highlighted around bitcoin (most bitcoin websites have lists or link to lists - eg https://bitcoin.org/en/community). There's also the bitcoin github that'll stay active as long as bitcoin does (and potentially after) and a lot of other places.
1675  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: When Will Amazon (AMZN) Accept Bitcoin? on: January 22, 2022, 06:11:53 PM
It might be quite a lot of downwards pressure on the market unless those companies find someone to shift the coins to otc (ie if they're just sold on market over the day).

There's also probably not enough thought gone into it and the ways they can make money from it yet (that'll probably happen in time though - especially since parts of PayPal have accepted custodial holdings of bitcoin).
1676  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Where are all the bitcoin's Moon boys ? on: January 22, 2022, 06:01:55 PM
But as the market dumps, we see no sign of these moon boys. Why don't they come to advise us in the these times.
Maybe they are unable to face the public because they have given too much unrealistic hopim to the people ?

They could and likely a few are just silently buying coins and hoping the dump continues.

Why make a bullish prediction at 40k when you can save yourself the effort and buy at 35k when everyone's panicking?

Predictions are predictions, there are enough that have been unrealistic and enough unrealistic ones have come true throughout time. If people think something's unrealistic though, why listen to it anyway?
1677  Economy / Economics / Re: How To Profit From MASSIVE Inflation on: January 21, 2022, 11:52:57 PM
I think these are assets that are likely to underperform too when the inflation starts to drop and might be rising more due to people being desperate to find something. It's possible to find strategies that hedge against crashes anyway (eg investing in firms for their value - especially large ones).
1678  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Is it possible to reveal / prove the amount of bitcoin in a lightning address on: January 21, 2022, 12:56:05 PM
I think this has been attempted to be proven by sending multiple htlcs to a channel and seeing if it has capacity. I don't know if it still works though or if some adjustments have been made to try to better hide where some funds are stored.
1679  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Blind signature question. on: January 21, 2022, 12:05:10 AM
Q1, supply will likely drop once the 21 million bitcoin have been mined (eg lost wallets, burnt funds). No one really knows if the price will become more stable or not though.
2. One has faster blocks and is less decentralised. Faster block speeds also gives a higher probability blocks will be orphaned so it may be a good choice in some ways and a bad choice in others.
3. I thought the message had to be unblineded/revealed for this to work, I haven't done much on those types of signatures though so I'd have no idea.. (I'd expect a blind signature to be a signed hash, most things are a signed has in cryptography because it condenses everything much better).
1680  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin’s energy use is just a rounding error compared to other industries on: January 20, 2022, 07:55:31 PM
I kinda see it as a bit of a null talking point anyway.

If governments wanted to, they could quite easily make cheap, renewable energy to power quite a few of those sectors but have chosen not to...

Crypto was more the deflection to any inaction of governments to tackle pollution.
