Important Update

As you may be aware, a liquidator was appointed to protect creditors of SpondooliesTech. She is currently selling off all equipment, miners, IP/designs and assets and everything will be gone within a week or two. If you are interested in bidding, please see the three documents attached (in english) which you will need to get access to the items.

Yes, you are right there is a lot of noise that is best ignored.

That's true of short term price swings too (unless you are or are trying to be a highly-skilled trader competing with other traders).

Not "the Blockchain."  Just "blockchain" because using the term as a mass noun make you sound cool.  Like mentioning map|reduce 10 years ago...

Dash contacted me.

For the record: Dash did not contact you, rather it was vice versa. And I have your PM to prove it.

Your self-congratulatory attitude and arrogant drivel are baffling and mind-boggling considering you're sitting atop an achievement-mountain of nothingness.
I also find the timing of your 180° quite fascinating, as it was right before a major breakout in Dash's price. Suspicious as fuck.

for me i'm more concerned for this guy's health..if dash would pay for his talent, let it be. he need it for his health and other projects/ideas.

First Crazy Uncle Shelby will have to demonstrate how he has broken Dash, then he may sell them the cure.

I am moving too fast to worry about your need for a proof. You think I care what you think. Why would I? Are you offering me anything. Can you help me create a programming language. Can you help me code a crypto-currency. Will you pay me anything for providing a proof. No.

2012  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: ToominCoin aka "Bitcoin_Classic" #R3KT on: May 15, 2016, 06:37:47 PM
I'm not misrepresenting, for one's simple question luke's answer is pretty straightforward:

asciilifeform: normally folks going hard-forking have some specific idea of why...
luke-jr: asciilifeform: to show the industry that a hardfork and consensus is a possible thing



Luke has willingly and maybe innocently committed to instigate more uncertainty and drama in bitcoin's ecosystem instead of focusing in moving on now that their had they segwit thing out.

But them roundtable fools have been cornered by mining cartels (3 to 4 corps) to release some dummy hard fork if they were to implement them core baby segwit in the first place. And now Luke's wandering in the sea of bitcoin's community selling his shit like a mere door to door girlscout selling brownies. And that's bullshit i'm not keen on buying.

If the industry wants a hark fork, let them write whatever shit code they think they could force down the protocol's throat with them buncha ego tripping corporations whining for "progress" and deluding themselves as being relevant in bitcoin.

If you don't want girl scout cookies, just say no thanks.  There's no need to attack the innocent Brownie's motivation and get all huffy because you don't like Girl Scout Inc's SJW agenda, nor bluster and harrumph about "how dare those greedy little imps come to offer me their Evil Thin Mints and Satanic Samoas!"   Grin

You're still selectively quoting only the first half of Luke's response, which was bifurcated into separate (external) political/governance and (internal) technical warrants for a hard fork.

You continue ignoring the second half, which provides what your screeching demands, ie a security-based justification in the form of fixing block withholding.

I'm generally in favor of waiting for something like an exigent block-withholding-crisis to force through (with vanishing contention) a single-purpose hard fork, but there's no good reason to pretend luke exclusively predicated a hard fork on pleasing Brian Fucking Armstrong.

As some wag recently declared, "I don't like it when somebody comes into my living room and shits on the floor, but I don't need to pretend it's nuclear waste either."   Cheesy

May I ask how you generally feel about the Hard Fork Wish List?  Is it something that should be canvassed/lobbied for (as luke was doing), or do you see it as some insidious plot of the banksters to poison honey badger with attack-surface-bloating features?

If we did hard fork in an emergency, should we have Wish List code ready to deploy so the crisis becomes an opportunity, or does that offend some subtle yet overweening #B-A purity conceit?

Of course the various roundtables are silly exercises in granfalloonery, but I don't see the harm in east-west summits (especially if copious amounts of tasty dim sum + beer were consumed in the process, and a good time was had by all).

While fully agreeing with the "Fuck you Brian Armstrong" sentiment, I don't see how responding to luke's friendly inquiry with "zomg fuck you for trying to improve Bitcoin $down $down $down!!!11!" really helps anything.

As with the embarassing display of impotent rage directed at sipa over a (segwit) soft fork, such behavior hardly qualifies as "serene."   Wink

LUKE:  Hai gize, u want show everyone BTC governance can work to preemptively fix security problems like block withholding?

#B-A: zomg, LUKE is working for the banksters!!!  Support block withholding or Coinbase wins!!!

Do you see the logical and practical disconnections in the above interaction?

I have no idea why they deleted my posts discussing the reasons why "carrier grade" miners were a bad idea (or at best a risky bet on high BTC prices and continued rapid price appreciation that didn't pay off). It certainly doesn't improve my opinion of them though.

It was deleted in mistake, go ahead and post again.

I have a better suggestion that should help prevent any future mistakes: Let's just all stay here and carry on the discussion on the unmoderated thread.

From the above discussion, it seems like ScamDoolies may have abused their discretion in paying out marketing affiliates in order to  (illegally) give RoadStress undue preference in getting paid before Dogie, etc.

No wonder the OP deletes posts like these:

RoadStress wasn't just ScamDoolies attack dog.  He also acted as a liability buffer for the group buy of machines that failed to perform as marketing specs advertised.

If Cypherdoc's Bitcoin can be claimed in bankruptcy court as an improper asset transfer, then RoadStress' shill renumeration (especially if paid in BTC) may also be up for clawback by creditors.

I suggest you find out who he is and how much he was paid to help promote/defend this exit scam.

Please don't compare me to the cypherdoc scammer! He endorsed HashFash with no chip developing technical skills and with no tech start-up business skills!

What "business skills" led you to believe it would be a good idea to endorse and act as attack dog for a company that lost millions of customers+investors' $$$?

And exactly what "technical skills" led you to organize group buys pre-orders for ScamDoolies miners that failed to meed advertised specs and/or never ever existed?

Are you ready to recognize the fact an ASIC start-up may go bankrupt due to adverse business conditions, despite their best efforts?   Wink

You could even do the classy thing, and admit it is illogical (and rude) to assume bad faith motivations, when the people involved did the best anyone could have, given dramatic subsequent BTC price/difficulty volatility.

(As for Cypherdoc, he never misrepresented his level of expertise, and at the time we prospective customers considered his real-world DYODD proxy efforts a service to the community.)

"I had posted this a couple of weeks ago to another story about Hitlary:

The truth is the truth, and no amount of trolls or bullshit can refute:

    Vince Foster’s 1993 death. Vince Foster was deputy White House counsel and Hillary’s friend and law partner who had connections to the Travelgate and Whitewater scandals. In 1993, Foster was found dead in a park with a fatal gunshot wound to his mouth. The Washington Post reported that federal investigators were not allowed to enter Foster’s office after his death, but “White House aides enter[ed] Foster’s office shortly after his death, giving rise to speculation that files were removed from his office. She sent two of her most trusted White House loyalists – Maggie Williams, the First Lady’s chief of staff, and Patsy Thomasson, who was in charge of White House administration – into Foster’s office to retrieve embarrassing and incriminating documents related to Whitewater and Hillary’s other personal affairs. While White House Counsel Bernard Nussbaum barred investigators from entering Foster’s office, Maggie Williams, Patsy Thomasson, and Craig Livingston, Hillary’s director of White House security, removed armloads of files and loose-leaf binders.In addition, a White House staffer allegedly tampered with the titles of several memos and removed the First Lady’s initials in an effort to erase her role in improper behavior.

    Huma Abedin, who served as Hillary’s longtime deputy chief of staff and has worked with her for nearly 20 years has known ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.

    The Clinton duo was involved in a scandal known as “Filegate” in which they illegally obtaining FBI files on adversaries most of whom served in previous Republican administrations.

    Stealing $190,000 in gifts and furnishings from the presidential mansion. Additionally, the General Accounting Office, an investigative arm of Congress, reported that ”damage, theft, vandalism and pranks did occur in the White House complex” during the presidential transition from Bill Clinton to George W. Bush.

    When Bill was governor, Hillary sent out a group of investigators known at the “Truth Squad” to discourage many of her husband’s lovers from going public.

    Using the IRS to harass and exact revenge on political enemies. During Bill Clinton’s terms in office, IRS audits were conducted against individuals and groups who caused problems for the administration. Several prominent conservative groups found themselves facing IRS audits following their criticism of the president and his policies.

    Keeping all her official correspondence as secretary of state, as well as her personal emails, on a private email server located at her home instead of using the government-mandated process while serving in the high appointed position. did not encrypt her private email service with a digital certificate for the first three months of her tenure as secretary of state.” That was while she was traveling to China, Egypt, Israel, Japan and South Korea. Her email system was unsecured for months while she used it for government business, and she did not sign a standard agreement when she left office that promised she had left government property behind.

    Technology companies allegedly made donations of millions of dollars to various Democratic Party entities, including President Bill Clinton’s 1996 re-election campaign, in return for permission to sell high-tech secrets to China.

    Hillary firing seven employees and gave the positions to her Arkansas friends. There was an effort to award a White House airline contract to a Clinton friend. In the Travelgate scandal, the staff of the White House travel office was fired to make way for Clinton cronies, including Bill’s 25-year-old cousin, who was reportedly promised the position of office director.

    Whitewater, a failed Arkansas real-estate venture involving the Clintons in the 1980s that was linked to the collapse of Madison Guaranty Savings and Loan, a Little Rock savings bank run by the Clintons’ Whitewater business partners. Clinton friends James and Susan McDougal went to jail for fraud (James died while serving his sentence), as did former Arkansas Gov. Jim Tucker and municipal judges David Hale and Eugene Fitzhugh.

    With no previous experience – had made massive profits from cattle futures trading between 1978 and 1979. She reportedly made $99,537 in profit on a $1,000 investment (a 9,987 percent profit) in just nine months because of a highly placed connection at Tyson Foods, which was the largest employer in Arkansas and a big Clinton donor.

    Hillary explained her defense of a child-rape suspect as just part of the job. But she hasn’t explained her laughing about his passing of a lie-detector test, which “destroyed” her faith in such evaluations. However, she did not address the reports of unearthed recordings in which she almost boasts of knowing of her client’s guilt and laughing about the case. The tapes reveal her discussing the case of Thomas Alfred Taylor, then 41, who was accused of raping a 12-year-old in Springdale, Arkansas, on May 10, 1975.

    On Sept. 11, 2012, while Hillary was secretary of state, Islamic militants attacked a U.S. special mission in Benghazi, Libya, and murdered U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and U.S. Foreign Service Information Management officer Sean Smith. Two CIA contractors, Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty, were also killed. a security decision finalized personally by Hillary may have unwittingly doomed the Americans in Benghazi. Hillary herself signed waivers that allowed the facility to be legally occupied, since it did not meet the minimum official security standards set by the State Department. The waiver legally allowed the CIA annex to be housed in a location about one mile from the U.S. special mission. State Department emails show Clinton knew while the attack was under way that it was being carried out by terrorists. federal court ordered the government hand over more than 100 pages of previously secret documents that showed then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and other senior Obama officials were given reports within hours of the Sept. 11, 2012, attack. In those memos, the DOD described details of a plan 10 days in advance “to kill as many Americans as possible Nonetheless, Hillary falsely blamed it on “rage and violence over an awful Internet video” when she spoke at a ceremony at Andrews Air Force Base on Sept. 14, 2012, as the remains of the four Americans were returned to the U.S.To this day, Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., says the state department has failed to comply with requests for information about Benghazi.

    The 27-year-old Clinton was fired from the staff of the House Judiciary committee investigating the Watergate scandal in 1974. She was fired by her supervisor, lifelong Democrat Jerry Zeifman, who called her a liar and much worse. Zeifman also refused to give Clinton a letter of recommendation, making her one of only three employees he snubbed during his 17-year career.

I'm sure the rabbit hole goes deeper, and there is a whole lot we don't know about or things that she has done and gotten away with.."

Theymos is known to be pro sensor ship when the end results suits his interest.

We all wouldn't even be here if Satoshi didn't make Bitcoins. He made the best currency, in my opinion, in the world. Doesn't he deserve a reward for doing that?
there's that, and also the fact that it would basically prove bitcoin as a failed experiment.
The network was able to "destroy" someone's ( and not just anyone's ) coins without the PK? O_o?
i think there's simply no way any significant hashing power would back this most ridiculous fork proposal, the idea is just a crazy though. when / where is this quote from anyway?
