Wow, I just learned today that C-CEX will disable your account after 6 months inactivity and give you no notice. Hope they enjoy the 30000 sats that I had left on the account. I obviously wasn't using this exchange very often and now will never use them again. I don't care what shitcoin they have listed that I think that I must have. I will just go without or hope the coin gets  listed elsewhere.  Roll Eyes

If you want your account reactivated - just make ticket and we will review it. We do not delete it once it expired. It is chance to get it back. Just make ticket and wait for our response.

Thanks, it is all fixed now.

With FPGAs starting to come out.  No algo will be safe.  Faster, less power than GPUs.  Once the price starts coming down all the GPU backers will be getting their panties in a bunch about them.

Yes, the constant switching of POW algo isn't going to work against FPGA's. Only trade off is that they are not as efficient as an ASIC. However, technology keeps marching forward.

I didn't really understand what the new hard fork will change in Bitcoin Cash.
Enabled OPCODES. This should make programming smart contracts possible.
Block size limit is now 32MB instead of 8 MB.

Those two changes alone make bch flippening much more likely, and probably sooner than many realise.

Is there any project currently working on Bitcoin cash second layer scaling options similar to LN ?

Also, is there a viable Bitcoin cash version of counterparty?  

IF/WHEN the flippening happens can bch accommodate these other technologies like LN without further updates like segwit?

BCH has to deal with the transaction malleability bug in order to implement something like LN, which relies on the transaction id to be fixed. (segwit fixed the transaction malleability bug.) However, someone may come up with a work around using the OPcodes. Or there may be another way to fix the transaction malleability. However, I think it is low priority for the BCH team to get BCH to scale by using off chain solutions. Being able to implement atomic swaps would be nice. However, Craight Wright seems to think that BCH will eventually replace all other crytopcurrencies.  Everything else will only have very limited use cases, according to his vision.

It's the travel business. Guaranteed profits you know. Because... who doesn't like to travel to exotic places?

Don't be so picky and go all in, you are missing the train!

I just bought a bunch with my credit card. Should be able to lock in some pretty sweet profits before my bill is due.

Great. Soon you will be able to control the whole seasteading business with your profits. See you on the moon Wink

Don't forget to sport the signature! Big bounties are sure to come! Shit post on every thread to make sure you get as many tokens as possible. Grin

It's also why everyone who wins the lottery blows through it all in a couple years, they think they won WAY more than they actually did.
indeed... and the fact most are understandably clueless at financial management.
After all, hookers and blow has a fairly poor ROI.

Actually, the main problem with many lotto winners is they end up trusting the wrong people and get scammed. Another problem is that they end up being too generous with family and friends who are looking for handouts.

And it's gone before taxes are due.  Embarrassed

In the US, the lottos automatically withhold the taxes on jackpot winnings. Rest assured the state and the federal governments will get their's before one can blow it. (Especially since the lottos are run by the state governments, anyway.)

This tweet from Charlie Lee has surprised me:

https://twitter.com/SatoshiLite/status/997978007875670016

He was millionaire before Bitcoin? Surprising. Anyone knows what he was doing before?

I think he worked at google right?

That would make for it yeah. Also probably he is older than he looks like (in fact in recent pictures he does).

If you read that twitter stream, to this day Charlie doesn't consider Litecoin a scam.

But often we need to reconsider what the definition of a scam truly is.

I mean, to make Litecoin he literally took a snapshot of the Bitcoin source code, changed like 2 easily-found config parameters, and launched it. And he admitted that it took him all of like a long Saturday to change and test it. He put almost zero effort into creating Litecoin. He created an altcoin of Bitcoin with a few clicks of a mouse. What he did, anyone could literally do with enough knowledge of the code.

So what part about that process and goal isn't scammy? Today when people do that with the Bitcoin source, we say that they're doing it for scammy or selfish purposes. But for some reason we give Charlie a pass because he's a nice guy, Bitcoin proponent, and no longer holds any LTC. (Little known fact: he once DID hold a metric shitload of LTC and probably made a million dollars selling some before LTC even hit $0.20c)

Changing the algorithm from SHA256d to SCRYPT was a little more involved than changing a couple of parameters. But yes, something like this could definitely be done in 24 hours.

Unfortunately, I believe the troll being referred to will remain even if ignored by most. After all, even if all the seasoned members ignore them, there will always be the newer member that may get his very important message to buy silver.  Roll Eyes

What is the best exchange to buy BCH on? With low fees and fast transactions? Best volume site for this coin? 

Check all major markets here, however, not sure the volumes are real as they can be easily faked.
My personal preference is Binance, although, they're one of the few exchanges still using BCC ticker  Huh


I think most volume is artificial and bot controlled. But that´s with most currencies these days, but especially since BCH is right now just P&D and nothing more

How is that artificial? There is usually a human or group of humans behind every bot. I don't think AI is advanced enough yet for a computer to truly strike out on it's own. Maybe that is what Bitmain's Sophon is working on.

But all of the unbanked people in the world, especially Africa, are supposed to be buying up this coin due to the 32MB blocksize increase. Or do we need to wait for the blocksize to increase to 1 GB? Is that plan a go since nChain stopped funding the Gigabyte project?  Huh

why aren't you buying it all to donate to them? man, some people here are selfish. i've heard the entire third world is gonna be a sidechain on there soon.

I'm afraid this minnow wouldn't be able to donate enough to make much of an impact. Maybe, I would be able to get a few African children to send me some nice thank you letters for feeding them and sending them to school for a month. Why doesn't Craig Wright, aka Satoshi Nakamoto, take his million BTC, dump then to pump up BCH, then take his millions of BCH and donate them to the unbanked of the world? Surely, that is a better use of his assets than renting Lambos and buying gym memberships. That should also help with the lawsuit lodged against him. After all, even if Kleiman's estate manages to get a judgement, a judgement is worthless if you can't collect. Just ask the Goldman's.

Why is this strange? Isn't this the fork that is supposed to make BCH make every other cryptocurrency obsolete?

because you'll be able to buy it and use it just fine after the upgrade too. it was obvious this was a pump and nothing but. these aren't the market conditions for any coin's pump to stick and grow into something more significant.

i can understand a fork/airdrop inspiring people to pile in but this wasn't it.

it was a bit of excitement for traders to latch on to. now it's back to business as usual.

when next BCH pump?

that was a strange and pointless pump, though no one should be complaining unless they bought into it of course. i really hope it wasn't because people were expecting some type of free fork coins again but you never know there might be a surprise fork anyway.

Why is this strange? Isn't this the fork that is supposed to make BCH make every other cryptocurrency obsolete? Or is enabling the OPCODES not quite enough to do that yet?

another fork? and what will change after the fork, which will be held on May 15? is there any news about this? the team will be the same?

32MB Blocks even though they are currently only using less than 100KB

TX Highway has been updated to reflect the change

troll speak translation:
"since the core devs hate bitcoin & stopped doing actual work years ago they now do parody of work, like a social media comedian"

This page shows an almost empty highway for BCH as well ATM. https://txhighway.com/ Oh well, at least BCH will be ready if and when the people come.

 Wow.  Is anyone in this thread younger than the Big Mac?

Probably, although I made my first PC rounds on a ZX81 as well.

I understand the Big Mac is from 1967, right?



Big Mac.

January 24, 1984.

I'm just barely younger than when the Bic Mac sandwich was introduced and was a sophomore in High School when the computer came out. My first computer was a TI-99/4A.

Don’t know why supposedly experienced posters start flapping like a little bitch when the price goes down a bit. We’ve fallen about $1,000 & people are acting like the sky is falling in.

 

This is that last dip before the next/last big bull trap. I believe July-Aug to be the big run to 13K+. But I am only right 53% of the time, slightly better than a coin flip.

That's a 6% edge! That's a better edge than the casino has on American roulette.

Mother Gaia is angry. Hawaiian peoples, pls heed the warning. GTFO.


Native Hawaiians don't give a fuck about Mother Gaia, since she is a Greek myth. It's Pele they would be concerned about getting angry. However, per the photo, it appears Pele is quite happy ATM.
