Well there will be a full moon airdrop that will push down the price, so watch out for that guys! Just invest after the airdrop!
actually i was thinking the opposite will happen this time. specially before the airdrop! my reason is that this time the way they distribute the coins has changed a lot. before it was a big reward for the bitcoin's you owned and a decent reward for the GBYTEs you owned. but this upcoming round is very different because they will give you a tiny reward for the bitcoins you own and a huge reward for every GBYTE you own. this can potentially create some incentive to buy more byteball to get a bigger profit out of it. and in the long run your total profit will be a lot bigger with the next rally that Byteball will have. (you will also get a lot of BlackBytes which have a decent price) Oh so that is why I got a tiny reward for more than 10 BTC worth of linked addresses? I got like 20 bucks out of 10+ BTC, that was depressing. But this means that now I will get a lot more in the next airdrop due the GBYTE im holding now? But doesn't this mean that, these that managed to get into the earlier airdrops, will get a ton more GBYTE? Because they already got a lot of GBYTE from the previous airdrops... It sucks that if I did an airdrop away I could have gotten a lot of GBYTE, but like I said I got like 10 20 bucks for 10+ BTC which is stupid low. Honestly I think they have fucked up the distribution model, this doesn't make sense to me. |

So just to be clear, do I need to reply for you to review my posts since last time or im already on some sort of queue?
No PM = no review. And I have tried to contact yahoo since a month ago, posted in a thread he posts at and also sent him a PM, like I said that was one month ago and he never replied. Can you contact him or something? he must receive so many PMs from people and stuff that he doesn't see it (unless he is ignoring me for some reason? and I never did anything wrong to get ignored)
I will not be getting involved there. Either he is too busy, refusing to respond to you or there is something else. If he fails to maintain his list, then that is an issue that he has to deal with. Ok, I just sent you a PM. As far as yahoo goes, im hoping he is just busy, but the PM was sent a month ago, so im hoping that he has not seen it for some reason, rather than being ignored because that would be for no reason, and pretty unprofessional from someone that runs so many campaigns, to ban you then never reply again. I've never done something worth ignoring me and in my opinion my posts have been pretty decent. In fact, campaigns let me in even if im banned on the SMAS lists once their managers look at my posts history. This shows that it's worth trying even if you are on the list, some managers may like your posts enough to make an exception rather than blindly following the list. |

http://www.allcryptocurrencies.news/all-crypto-currencies/portugal-joins-spain-france-in-cash-crackdown-bitcoin-will-benefit/Portugal is the latest country to close the net on cash.
Portugal has banned cash payments over -euro;3000 as part of a crackdown on anonymous payments.
A new package of rules which came into force Aug. 23 makes payments over the limit punishable by a fine of up to -euro;9000.
Spain, meanwhile, cut the maximum permitted cash transaction from a -euro;2500 limit set in 2012 to just -euro;1000, itself moving in line with France. Any Portuguese, Spanish or French people on here to shed light as to how people are reacting to this? Are they moving to Bitcoin, or are they indifferent? What does this mean exactly? that you can't pay in paper cash higher than 1000 in France and Spain? So if you want to buy something in a shop that costs more than 1000 with cash, you can't and you must use a credit card? Well that sucks. Anyway, paper money is going away in 10 to 20 years, so get crypto, as much as you can, specially Bitcoin, and hold it, then watch yourself get rich as the people that didn't do their homework get fucked. This is our chance to get rich and we will get rich. |

I have the same question. I received my Byteballs in different wallets and now I find myself calculating how much I have with the windows calculator.
Why isn't there an option in the wallet to see the total holdings across all wallets? I mean this is so easy to program, yet I can't find it. I don't know if someone told me there was I way and I forgot but I can't find it right now.

Are you still requesting to search and post the round where one was banned at during a campaign?
Obviously not since that part has been removed: 3. How can I get unbanned?
Send me a PM (do not post in this thread) only after 60 days have passed since your ban. If you apply before 60 days have passed, you will be instantly denied. I will try to respond to these requests within 7 days.
Also, yahoo has not replied to my PM and I sent it a month ago. Does anyone know how long does it take for him to reply or if he even looks at the PMs?
I have no idea. You should talk to him / post in his thread about that. So just to be clear, do I need to reply for you to review my posts since last time or im already on some sort of queue? And I have tried to contact yahoo since a month ago, posted in a thread he posts at and also sent him a PM, like I said that was one month ago and he never replied.

Someone has to really explain to me what this BCH stuff is all about, I have been seeing posts everywhere about BTC and BCC, I am really trying to understand what has been going on and why did the split have to occur at this time BCC and BCH are "the same". When Bitcoin Cash was hardforked, they didn't have a clear tag for the token, some used BCC, some used BCH. Turns out BCC was taken already by an altcoin called BitConnect. And then people got extremely confused. It shows how much of a mess the entire thing was. Not even the token was clear. To this day, some people use BCC, BCH and even BCash to refer to Bitcoin Cash. |

Even we had buggy altcoin project like Bitcoin Unlimited - failing with every new update, but some fanatics were still blind.
People never realized that Core is the truly the best development team until it was too late and we had this idiotic BCH split.
Time will tell how good developing process of bitcoin-alt will be, so far Core is winning hands down. I can't wait to update my BTC Core to 0.15.
Indeed, the problem is, Jeff Garzik, Barry Sillbert and everyone involved in the NYC agreement are ignored the fact that the best devs are rejecting the segwit2x hardfork. They just don't care about technical facts apparently. We had Wang Chun from f2pool already dropping from the agreement. My hope is that this paves the way for more miners and merchants to drop the NYC agreement, otherwise we are going to crash and crash very badly, if we end up with 3 fucking bitcoins. We are going through a correction now, the least we need is to have another hardfork right when the correction ends because this could end up in a chain reaction all the way down, and segwit2x camp (big blocker camp) would be to blame once again. |

Is Bittrex daily withdrawal limit for a basic verified person of 3BTC meaning if you want to withdraw other currencies then the max is 3BTC, or does it mean only 3BTC limit is if you withdraw BTC but other currencies don't have a limit?
Bittrex used to allow a ton of BTC daily pretty much for free, free in terms of not needing to input any personal information. These are the so called "Legacy accounts" that show 1337 BTC withdrawal limit (even if it's not exactly 1337 BTC, that is just a joke, but it's a lot) Newly registered accounts require your real name, real address, real place of birth... and they check against public records on your country so you can't lie or else your account gets blocked, and they ask you for an SMS confirmation. I don't feel comfortable telling crypto exchanges my real info because I don't trust their security, which is why im not using Bittrex. These lucky enough to be operating under a Legacy account have their days numbered, because Legacy accounts are going to get deleted and then you will have your coins trapped on there unless you dox yourself by giving them all your personal info. I'll pass. |

This is why it is so incredibly stupid and absurd to try to hardfork bitcoin without the approval of the Core devs.
90% of the network if not more, are running Bitcoin Core nodes, and pretty much 99% of clients are just copy-pasting Core's hard work and not contributing anything meaningful.
When was the last time another dev team made the Bitcoin full node client to boot 50% faster? and this doesn't account previous updates that have been making it faster (I still remember how slow the old client was)
Jeff Garzik and everyone pushing for segwit2x should be ashamed.

I think if you want the mining cloud you must calculate the costs incurred and the results will be accepted if profitable so do it, in addition you can invest in some altcoin that has the popularity and development of a good long term like bitcoin, until now has reached $ 4000 and I'm sure the next few years bitcoin prices will be increase.  I don't think you are going to do much with a 1000 USD investment when it comes to mining, at least any of the bigger coins. The way to benefit from mining with a modest hashrate is to mine a coin that's under the radar and ends up blowing up, but honestly at some point you become lazy to keep mining every altcoin under the sun hoping that you luck out by holding the right one at the right time. You are probably better off going 60% BTC, 40% altcoin speculation hoping to catch a nice pump and make some extra BTC for the long term. Remember that BTC is the only safe bet to get rich long term. |

Why so many Altcoins crashing continuously, while on the other hand Bitcoin gaining more and more strength? Do you think Altcoins will give one more boom this year??  If you looked at coinmarketcap.com for the past couple of days, it was already red due the BTC correction which is lasting a couple of days. When BTC was starting to go back up, the "China bans ICOs" news hit the mainstream media and insider tradings fueled the panic sellers to dump everything. The situation is starting to become pretty oversold because there's no real reason to dump everything, specially and obviously Bitcoin which got nothing to do with ICOs. My guess is, once the news are absorbed and the market realizes there's nonsensical panicselling going on, the dip will be quickly bought back up. |

Are you still requesting to search and post the round where one was banned at during a campaign? Because I just went through every single page on the bitmixer signature campaign and I can't find myself banned anywhere there: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1657397.0I think I was banned during the bitmixer campaign... what do I do then? Also, yahoo has not replied to my PM and I sent it a month ago. Does anyone know how long does it take for him to reply or if he even looks at the PMs? |

This is a decent youtube clip emphasizing positive aspects of capitalism. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_n6ivGgb9RYMore fuel for the discussion on capitalism fire. The main point alleged here is: " world poverty has fallen by 80% since 1970". They claim capitalism is the main driving force behind reduced levels of poverty over the past 5 or so decades, which in turn implies capitalism creates elevated living standards. Capitalism has granted decreased world poverty by 80% since 1970, the real question is...: Can it keep doing it in the future? Can it just keep delivering? Look around.. more and more of the jobs that used to provide people with incomes are getting destroyed by automation. Automation is good, so you can't simply keep the machines away because the machines make our lives easier. So what is the solution? Because I don't see any other solution beside basic income in order to guarantee all the destroyed jobs don't make even more people poor. And these claims of "but new jobs get created" are delusional, jobs get destroyed at an higher rate than they are created. |

Well, that kinda sucks to be honest. On that case, I will be sure to keep my long term storage coins in the original bitcoin format, and use segwit for transacting, but not storing the coins (and I will still use the classic format for transacting if the fees aren't too high)
In the event of a hard fork, anything can happen, including allowing for anyone to steal coins in non-segwit addresses. A hard fork can change any consensus rule; there are no restrictions, so even having your coins in non-segwit addresses would not be safe. This is only a problem if you expect that a hard fork should happen that everyone agrees to that would allow anyone to steal segwit outputs. That would mean that there would only be one blockchain. However IMO any such hard fork would be contentious (after all it would allow for stealing funds) and there would most certainly be two blockchains - the original which still has segwit activated, and the one that does not have segwit activated and thus coin theft. In the case a hardfork, what would happen to your BTC if the BTC are held in a lightning network hub/channel thing? You would also lose them so you need to move them back to a legacy format address?
Since LN uses segwit, yes, such a hard fork could result in stolen funds there too.
I don't understand why you are so concerned about such a theoretical hard fork. It would be a hard fork to deactivate segwit, which means that it would be contentious and lead to a chain split like Bitcoin Cash did. All that would happen is that a new altcoin is created. The thing is, with hard forks, anyone can make a hard fork at any time that changes any consensus rule, including allowing for the theft of coins. For example, I could make a hard fork right now which simply allows me to steal all of your funds right now. But that fork would be an altcoin, and no one would pay attention to it. I think you are giving too much credit to such a hard fork even existing, let along being a threat to anything. If such a fork happened, it would almost certainly be ignored by the majority of users and just become another worthless altcoin. You are right that a hardfork that doesn't include segwit would get ignored by the majority of the community and would therefore become irrelevant, but Bitcoin Cash was also supposed to become irrelevant. I mean don't get me wrong, it's pretty irrelevant, but if you managed to dump at the top, that was a lot of "free BTC", and it looks like all you need to get a hardfork and some hashrate is a couple rich people with the right tools (propaganda, buying hashrate and then pumping the price on the markets) to get a hardfork going. Even if eventually it becomes and irrelevant altcoin, there's a period of time that if you make hte right moves you can profit from the clusterfuck and get yourself free BTC from the fools that are buying the hardfork. If someone with the enough resources decides to hardfork BTC into another fork that has no segwit and has 16 MB of blocksize, you want to be able to get your share of coins and dump it, and if you are holding everything on segwit you are going to need to move all of your wealth into the original format, which once again it's a problem since you can't send all of your BTC in a single transaction if you want to retain privacy, same goes for when you want to dump your coins, so you would need to go through a real annoying process of separating transactions. |

Hi, I have a question as developer of the Bitcoin Seismograph ( http://www.bitcoinseismograph.com). The tool has identified a high Bitcoin volatility (above 25% for 60 days) due to recent price rises! So my question is, if you see that as a warning sign or just normal behavior of Bitcoin. At which volatility level would you be concerned? The Bitcoin Seismograph is intended to support Bitcoin community to monitor the Bitcoin ecosystem and identify unexpected developments earlier. It needs your feedback for finetuning the analysis algorithms. Thanks for your help, Marcel I have been here since 2013. I saw Bitcoin go all the way up to $1200 and then all the way down to $150. Needless to say that anything that im seeing now feels like a walk in the park, nothing faces me, im just relaxing and watching my wealth go up as we discover new floors. Meanwhile newbies are panicking everytime to price moves 100 bucks up and down, really amusing to be. Seasoned Bitcoin holders are still celebrating from such an unstoppable success. Can't wait to hit $10000 next year to see how all the idiots that panic sold during this dip will whine like. |

I think there are different kinds of smarts, and ultimately it comes down to your goals. Someone who is a mathematical genius may not be 'smart' with their money, and could end up broke.
There are definitely different type of smarts. I know a lot of people that are engineers, but they are still too stupid to see why bitcoin is important and why you must invest a considerable amount of your portfolio into it and hold it long term. They are intelligent, but not really smart. Meanwhile I only got basic education but im smart enough to know that I must spend 24/7 making more BTC and storing it long term to get richer than all of my industrial engineers combined. In the long term I will laugh at everyone hating on me. |

From what I understand in this part, you will not lose the coins and there's a workaround, but I don't really understand the process.
No, there is no workaround. Read what I said again: Since segwit has already activated, such a fork would result in you losing any and all money that is in a segwit output, both nested and native.
What I described later is how miners would actually spend the segwit outputs to steal your money. There is no workaround to not have your money stolen after such a hard fork. The only thing you can do is sent all of your coins to non-segwit outputs before the fork happens. Well, that kinda sucks to be honest. On that case, I will be sure to keep my long term storage coins in the original bitcoin format, and use segwit for transacting, but not storing the coins (and I will still use the classic format for transacting if the fees aren't too high) In the case a hardfork, what would happen to your BTC if the BTC are held in a lightning network hub/channel thing? You would also lose them so you need to move them back to a legacy format address? |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrwJSdlgzFoJoe Rogan has invited Andreas Antonopoulos several times where he has talked about Bitcoin for hours, I think there's 4 podcasts with Andreas each more than 2 hours of lenght. Well on this occasion, Joe Rogan invited Peter Schiff and of course, the subject of Bitcoin and crypto was brought up. Peter presents the same arguments as always to defend gold and attack crypto calling it out for its lack of intrinsic value. Andreas A could easily destroy Peter Schiff on a 1 on 1 podcast thats why if you have social media, let Joe Rogan know that we want a Andreas A vs Peter Schiff podcast. Joe Rogan gets millions of views, so this would be great to expose the gold shills that attack Bitcoin with these lame arguments.

hello everyone,
i bought me some digibyte when it was at high time and very hyped. but the hype was so short and it dropped very badly. you think this coin will have a future?would you hodl or sell them?
I was holding a lot of Digibyte because I got it from mining, bounties and giveaways. Unfortunately, I dumped way too early at 400 sats. It's just too difficult to nail it and guess the top. Right now we are back at 400 sats after testing high 300's... so it went back to where I sold. In perspective this should be the end of the dump and judging by the experience i've had with other altcoins, it may take years until you get another all time high, so be ready to hodl. Digibyte is a decent altcoin considering the alternatives, so if you don't need the money, just hold and see what happens. Just look at your portfolio daily to not miss any random pumps that can happen. |

Since segwit has already activated, such a fork would result in you losing any and all money that is in a segwit output, both nested and native. This is because such a fork without segwit would regard all of those outputs as anyone-can-spend outputs and the miners who initiated that fork would steal all coins in segwit outputs and send them to themselves.
To actually spend those, for native outputs, you would just have an empty scriptSig and it would work. For P2SH nested ones, you would just put the redeemscript in the scriptSig and it would work. There would be no place for signatures to go.
From what I understand in this part, you will not lose the coins and there's a workaround, but I don't really understand the process. What you described needs to be done pre-split or can you do it post-split? (meaning that, if you are holding coins in native segwit addresses, you will not lose them in the fork that has no segwit) because if it requires you to do something pre-split in order to not lose the coins, this may be bad to convince people to use the native segwit format, specially long term hodlers that don't pay daily attention to what's going on and just sit and relax on their coins for years without checking news and price. Im sure there are a lot hodlers that still didn't even know Bitcoin Cash happened. |
