First to hear Sybil Attack, good learning from this, Dash is an anon and secure coin, it is known by us already, it has big community for 2 years. Awesome
yeah, i didn't know much about Sybil attacks myself so i found the video usefull too. Why would you spend time starting this topic if you can't engage on the key issues? Are you asking for help on the question or are you stating facts? |

Actually this is quite relevant as well since it was put originally quite close to the spot (I've followed this). On the other hand, the wall guy or girl is playing games with us. He first sets walls and the bids are increased to around 7 000 btc, then suddenly pulls off 1000 btc from buy orders. I am not quite sure what he is trying to do...
I think whoever it is is trying to make a big buy-in without massive upward slippage. So they put the wall there periodically enticing someone to move coins to the exchange and dump, and remove it to avoid pushing the price up. It's probably a large Bitcoin whale who wants to reallocate/hedge in a big way onto a different chain/project. Someone on the level of Roger Ver, or possibly literallly him (but probably not). But the volume is huge. If you wanted to buy 7,000 BTC worth of Monero, why not just have a bot do it? If you do it correctly you won't get crazy slippage and you can start the next move up. That said, I do hope you are right. From one of my favorites, And right here let me say one thing: After spending many years in Wall Street and after making and losing millions of dollars I want to tell you this: It never was my thinking that made the big money for me. It always was my sitting. Got that? My sitting tight! It is no trick at all to be right on the market. You always find lots of early bulls in bull markets and early bears in bear markets. I've known many men who were right at exactly the right time, and began buying or selling stocks when prices were at the very level, which should show the greatest profit. And their experience invariably matched mine -- that is, they made no real money out of it. Men who can both be right and sit tight are uncommon. I found it one of the hardest things to learn. But it is only after a stock operator has firmly grasped this that he can make big money. ...But to me it doesn't matter. I think Monero is still severely undervalued. I thought I was doing well out of Monero a few months ago. called the market just about right. Then I made the big mistake of selling too many thinking it would go lower and I could buy back twice as many, only to find it went higher, and higher, and higher. I did jump back in, but them words are true enough: buy and hodl. |

Knew I had forgotten something  A lot to read up. Thanks for the links. Question about the section that talks about Coinbase type accounts: is that based on the Evolution plans by Dash? The links you provided show the Coinbase accounts were being discussed and published in February last year. Was Evolution announced at that time? I thought Evolution wasn't announced until just after the Summer last year. |

Ready for the next big pump to $1.98  |
|

Large BTC buy/sell trade on trex, following on from some big market buys a few months back.
What's the story? Big announcement coming?
OP looks interesting. Any other sources of good information?

Taken some profits from $0.50  I'll wait for a pause and slump from the current pump, before getting back a serious position. Next big leg should be to $1.90. |

.... one than the following would likely be the fallout-
1) Some devs would leave bitcoin altogether abruptly or just stop contributing and slowly selling off their large investments
2) Some devs would join classic and be equally motivated
3) Some devs may attack the HF or create a competing alt
4) Some devs may participate with classic but be less motivated
It would also set a dangerous precedent where a contentious HF's would start to become the norm and we have more to look forward to with regard to politics and arguing every year... ...
...Classic devs even wanted to HF in segwit when a soft fork is available!
What a load of fucking shit. You really are a spoon. If Core devs decide to fuck off because they don't get their way, well they can fuck off now. That sort of mentality is about power grabbing and ego. If you believe in a decentralized currency, who cares how it wins, as long as it wins. Segwit is a fantastic addition to Bitcoin. But the idea that you can soft fork now and hard fork later is stupid. Hard forking later means more people are on the network and therefore there are more people to piss off. Hard fork now is common sense. Segwit as and when its ready. Stop being a spoon. |

Is possible for siacoin to rice from 0.000035 to 0,1?
anything is possible. got some stashed away now. you never know  |

So, are you saying we should do something like nubits does? People who claim to be engineering a monetary (base) media need to realise that they are claiming alchemists of the day and solely concern themselves with the proprieties of monetary media and nothing else. A web browser or talking client isn't going to do sh*t regarding monetary media. Gold was formed in some kind of astronomical event that cannot be recreated even by modern technology. Does anyone around here think that some social media oriented money is going to remotely compete with that ? Dash needs to stick to it's original vision and stop trying to sell itself. The original vision was: [1] - bitcoin [2] - plus cash drawer If Dash can only do that it will be massive. If it gets distracted by B.S. that people from 500 years ago would not recognise then it be nothing. All we want is Bitcoin + the Cash Drawer. Thats the only tiny thing missing. We'll do the rest. Thanks ! That was my observation --> do what is says on the box.

You know, I've been talking to a lot of people who run exchanges at these conferences. There's a huge unintended benefit to Darksend. Basically when you mix via Darksend, you're reseting your history. Like clearing your browser history. After the fact when you're sending coins to an exchange from their prospective, address A (your pubkey) is sending address B (their pubkey) coins. What freaks these exchanges out is when it could be multiple people, completely unrelated to your public key that are sending them money (e.g. address A or B or C or D or E sent money to address F). All of these other technologies use something closer to the later, which will cause them to have less adoption in the long run, unless legal compliance gets easier over time... which I doubt.
TLDR; Some decent privacy and an easy to understand blockchain makes compliance easier.
Making compliance easier might be a decent benefit to have. But it says digital cash on the box. Don't mind me I'm just looking around for the odd alt with decent growth / trading potential. |

No need for bit licences, just regulate as fiat.
Bitcoin going mainstream.
mainstream=regulation. there is NO other way. There is always a way. Bitcoin=internet, unless they block internet there is no way to regulate bitcoin without interference in bitcoin core protocol. We just won't be using online wallets and regulated exchanges, there will be always BTC-e or some other similar exchanges. Exchanges - this is all a load of bollocks. Exchanges are temporary restrictions. When you can pay Bitcoin for a hot dog from a street vendor, you will have no need for exchanges. People should simply invest in updating the infrastructure of the real economy, and not on constructing temporary bridges. |

The technology looks pretty shit hot, IMO.
The source code is open source, so having a company releasing the code is not an issue. They are maintaining it, but it can be forked at any point.
Don't make the Dodo mistake of thinking the new kid on the block is harmless. Darksend could be orders of magnitude less robust than zerocash when it comes to privacy.
It's definitely interesting stuff. The for-profit corporation aspect of it makes it seem, to me, like an anonymous version of Ripple. The hype is likely to be just as big as Ethereum; once released it could take a quick (maybe brief, maybe lasting) ride up the coinmarketcap chart. The nice thing about Dash is that I no longer feel the need to defend us on the anonymity front. I think our anonymity is pretty strong, but it's also no longer the only notable thing about our coin. Even without anonymity, we'd have instant transactions, incentivized second tier (more 24/7 nodes than Bitcoin), decentralized governance, self-funding decentralized budget system...all things that Bitcoin lacks. You're making Dodo mistakes. It's not Ripple. Compared to Darksend, it's as close to the purest definition of digital cash as you'll see. Also, there is no stopping or rewinding transactions and there is no emergency AML button to press. Talking about other features is just moving the goal posts. |

Why is there so much sell pressure, and so little buy pressure?  much people dont't know where SIA is going! Any updates on road map? |

What is this? https://z.cash/team.htmlFirst time seeing or hearing of it. This all seems so very new only done on 1st February. Zero discussion on their side about darksend vs. them or anywhere else for that matter. Is this some as a holder of dash one should be concerned about? What I am wondering what excites these guys and their investors when you already have something like darksend, or are these two things totally different? This is their big idea: https://forum.bitcoin.com/ama-ask-me-anything/i-m-zooko-wilcox-ceo-of-the-zcash-company-ask-me-anything-t5413.htmlTo my question, can you explain at a high level or in laymen terms what makes zcash more anonymous or untraceable than bitcoin? What properties does it have and how is it able to achieve anonymity? The high-level answer is like this:
Bitcoin is a global, shared, append-only ledger, right? And so is Zcash. The entries that get appended to that ledger — the transactions — basically say "From Address", "To Address", and "Amount Transferred". The difference between Bitcoin and Zcash is that in Zcash those three values are encrypted, so that they aren't publicly readable by default.
(The person who made a transaction could still make it be publicly readable, by publishing the decryption key, or could share the decryption key with selected parties to make it readable to them without making it readable to the world. That's what we call "selective transparency".)
So far so good.
Now the cryptographically challenging part is: how do we enable the miners and full-nodes to reject invalid transactions? This is where the zero-knowledge proofs come in. With zero-knowledge proofs, the creator of a transaction can include a proof that the transaction is valid (i.e. isn't a double-spend) without revealing anything about the encrypted "From Address", "To Address", or "Amount Transferred". good luck dealing with that company behind it Zcash Electric Coin Company https://z.cash/team.html(and the 10% payment) https://z.cash/blog/funding.htmli stick to Decentralised Funding via blockchain The technology looks pretty shit hot, IMO.
