I dont understand how it is possible that we have roundabout 6k unconfirmed transactions and already minted 2 blocks. I thought, miners are packing all transactions together. But I guess the answer is more complicated

Who is doing these tests?

Alright, than Im chillaxing again

The las block has been just released with maximum block capacity of 970 KB. Still more than 8 MB pending. I have the feeling that this is not normal...

Im not saying that a 9 MB has been minted. Im just seeing on tradeblock.com that there are currently more than 8k transactions with a size of more than 9 MB since the last block. I dont know if I see anything wrong?!?

Tradeblock is showing right now a block with a size of more than 9 MB...whats going on?

However, if the hashrate or hashpower is going to increase more and more...is this an indicator of the safety of the network?

Its this video:

minute 47

Hi folks,

I just watched a SF Devs Seminar video about 51% attacks. The guy said "Hashrate/POW does not secure bitcoin/transactions - full nodes do! POW only distributes votes" ...I dont understand that. I always thought that the Hashrate (currently around 400 petahash) is always an indicator of the safety of the network?

Thanks in advance for some answers

Perfect, thank you very much

Hi,

does anybody know where I can see an overview which nodes are currently using which proposal? I only know for XT the www.xtnodes.com but for the others?

Thanks in advance!

Here you can watch the video...he is saying it at minute 2.4

I think he is refering to the "velocity of money" if there are more transactions the price is falling but applying that to the block size makes no sense to me too

Hi all,

I just heard from an "expert" on Bloomberg that a higher blocksize will result in a lower btc price because more transactions will go through. But why will this result in a lower btc price?!?

Thanks in advance

That means that only the miners are deciding if the XT version will be implemented in January?

Yes, Im asking regarding the BitcoinXT stuff. That means that 75% of all full nodes need to download the XT version to reach the hash-power supermajority?

Hi all,

can someone explain me what a hash-power supermajority vote means?

Thx in advance

Yes, because Ive seen in the Coindesk Bitcoin Report for Q2 a VC investment comparison with the Internet and below there is an asterisk which says "Inflation rate not taking into account -c osts of launching a start-up has changed over the last two decades"

Hallo Bitcoiner in Deutschland,

wisst Ihr wo ich Informationen über die Bitcoin Landschaft in Deutschland finden kann? Themen wie z.B.

Bitcoin Unternehmen in Deutschland
Mining Power Deutschland
Regulatorik in Deutschland
Transaktionen in Deutschland

Falls jemand eine Präsentation zur Verfügung hat, würde ich mich auch sehr freuen. Für jede kleine Information wäre ich sehr Dankbar!

Ok, but then the inflation should be taking into account if u compare BTC Investments nowadays with the investments of the internet 20 years ago. Does someone know why it is not the case? I dont get it

Hi all,

I would like to know why comparing the BTC vs early internet investments the inflation is always not taking into account. It is always said, that the costs of launching a start-up has changed over the last two decades. Is it now more expensive?

Thanks in advance for an answer!
