after bip141 locks in there is another 2016 blocks grace period before it goes live on the network ... maybe around August 21 which is dun-dun-dun ... solar eclipse day over North America!

coincidence!? i think not.

... more like 18 days until possible bip141 (actual segwit) lock in .... ~144 blocks per day

I think it feels like we might get a pump here to a new ATH in the next 24 hrs ... smart crypto money front-running the wave of dumb fiat stuck in the legacy banking system (and gold 3rd party accounts) until Monday mornings.

... yeah someone has plonked $12 million down to bid up bitcoin so he can get more fiat ...  

Yep. Namecoin is ideally suited for storing long strings and linking them to human-readable names and a namecoin address (sharing same priv/pub keys with bitcoin).

Transaction fees take over as the primary source of income to incentivise miners to secure the network.

http://www.voy.com/64855/ ... funny things is they can't get enough about bitcoin on the thinking gold forums ... must really grate on roach that hehehe  

btw his debt-base doodoo is just some made up shit FUD that he likes to throw around recently, next week it'll be some more bitcoin BS FUDstering. On the whole roach is reflective of the extremely slow onboarding of the slower goldbugs. You can see the development of their thought processes as they go through all the old arguments and throw FUD up every time they think they've found the "flaw" in bitcoin ... it seems to good to be true to them.

But it isn't, it's just better than gold but not perfect. Perfect money probably only exists as an abstract concept, like Euclidian geometry. Useful as a concept for simplified analysis but will never exist in the real world. Even so, bitcoin is demonstrably better as a monetary instrument than gold on an overall analysis, each has it's own strengths and weaknesses but on balance bitcoin looks superior for the computer age. The free market for money will be the final arbiter of course.

I think it because Antpool will now have to switch off ASICboost when it implements segwit code instead of just signalling ... to be safe that it doesn't create an orphan chain or other such incompetent feck-ups these guys regularly produce.

Miners are typically really conservative with code which it makes it so weird they have got sucked in by the charlatans on the "big block now HF" wagon ... which really is risky as fuck for miners especially if not done well into the future with lots of planning and notice.

... breaking out of the downtrend channel eh torque?

Who knew? 

there is no way roach is buying silver here ... he's trying to unload his heavy baggage on bitcoin noobs most likely.

 r u serious sirrius?

.... sounds like he's been experimenting with psychedelics extensively recently. Maybe hasn't had a bad trip yet?

f2pool is waiting for all the shorts to load up and then shit down their throats with big bip91 signalling dump

I believe Erik Voorhees and Ver had a sit down chat with him at some point and he was hooked ... they are partners in a bitcoin mining venture in WA state since around that time also.

That's ethereum you are talking about there right?

It's not really inflation because all current holders of the coin at the time of the fork have a unit on each branch afterwards. In that respect it is identical to a stock split, it's similar in some respects to moving a decimal place in the protocol. The total rate of inflation summing both branches afterwards due to mining does however increase.

Private Swiss Bank now offering bitcoin accounts

Who needs a ridiculous ETF when you can have a bitcoin account (available for immediate withdrawl and fiat cash conversion)?

You should probably just quit before you get deep enough into it to know what you are talking about ...

No, because there's no way anybody would risk real money with SegWit2X clown code.

The '6000 blocks mined in day' talking point distraction is obfuscating the real problem that the code then got stuck when the (accelerated) HF happened ... you know like the piece of the code that whole client is in existence because ... it's raison d'etre is broken.

They should be thanking whoever accelerated the '6000 blocks in one day' for showing them their fundamental brokenness bugs (how fucked they are) ... instead we get BS talking points about ASICs on testnet, wah-wah, who knew?
