we are aiming for a fib of the entire retrace.





Good call, though was that chart actual when you posted it? Wasn't the price already higher at the time of your post?
2042  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: [ANN] Purse.io - Bitcoin Amazon Marketplace - Save ~10-25% on Amazon Wishlist on: November 23, 2015, 11:44:56 PM
I think you might need to register again at amazon.com.

So can I use purse.io to order stuff to France? I have tried it once 6 months ago but it hasn't worked and I had many problems with it.

I don't want to try it again if it doesn't work 100%.

What where the problems? Some articles can't be shipped to some countries. You need to login into amazon and then you can read at the product page if it ships to your country. At amazon.com you can even filter for that.

I am ordering from Amazon.fr. Whenever I log into Amazon.com it redirects me to the French version. That's why I have suspected that purse.io cannot be used with the French Amazon and I just gave up.

Thanks! I have just made new credentials and it works now. The reason why I was getting redirected was probably because I was logging in with my "French credentials" that I have created for Amazon.fr.

Yes, i believe that was how i fixed it for me too.

Besides, the .com market might be harder for getting bigger discounts. At .de i not seldom received 50% rebates, in fact, after purse took his hefty share, it is only a 38% discount anymore. But at .com you won't see anything like that happen.
2043  Local / Altcoins (Deutsch) / Re: [2015-11-12] Warum XT und BIP 101 gefährlich sind on: November 23, 2015, 11:41:31 PM
Ich hab mich mal an C probiert und fand es furchtbar umständlich. Jeden kleinen Sch... musste man sich extra programmieren. Deshalb würde ich wohl so eine Version nicht weiterentwickeln können.

Das ist kein grosses Problem, da man nur den Patch auf den jeweils aktuellen Stand neu aufspielen muss (mit git rebase).

Ein Konsens kann ja eigentlich nur dadurch hergestellt werden indem man glaubt dieser oder jene Bitcoin kostet so und so viel, bzw dass einer der Chains der echte Bitcoin ist. Momentan gibt es so eine Wahl einfach nicht.

Es gibt sie, aber durch einen unkoordinierten Schritt macht man die Sache jetzt noch schlimmer.

Und, es mag ein falscher Eindruck sein, aber mein Eindruck ist dass diejenigen die das Limit bei 1MB halten wollen eher wenige sind. Für den Rest erscheint es einfach nur logisch dass Bitcoin nicht größer werden kann wenn man es in ein Korsett steckt.

Denke ich auch. Insofern hat das vorpreschen mit XT der Sachen einen Bärendienst erwiesen, da nun erst mal die Fronten verhärtet sind und jetzt keiner von denen mehr von seiner Extremposition abrückt. Damit bleibt Folgerichtig nur übrig, alles so zu lassen wie es ist, bis ein Konsens in Aussicht steht, den die meisten irgendwie mittragen können.

Ich fürchte allerdings dass erst einiger Schaden an Bitcoin entstehen wird durch "Fee Market" usw. Das wäre synonym mit einer nicht vertrauenswürdigen Währung da standardmäßig ein Teil der korrekten Transactionen keine Confirmation bekommen würde. Und wer würde schon freiwillig eine Währung benutzen bei der eine Transaktion ankommt... oder vielleicht auch nicht?

Ich denke es ist sogar schlimmer. Hearn und Gavin haben doch wohl schon länger versucht die anderen Devs von einer Änderung zu überzeugen. Die wollen aber nicht. Wie soll ein Konsens entstehen? Es gibt für mich keinen Grund anzunehmen dass sie plötzlich anders denken werden.

Aber ok, wenn genügend Bitcoiner sich über dieses kommende kaputte Bitcoin aufregen und dann eine Fork in Aussicht steht die das Problem löst... dann bin ich ziemlich sicher eine solche Version würde ganz fix genügend Anhänger finden um die echte Bitcoin blockchain auf die Fork zu verschieben. Bitcoin ist woran die Leute glauben bitcoin wäre es.


Die Frage bleibt natürlich wie viele davon den anderen Client nutzen würden. Im Endeffekt besteht keine Gefahr erstmal da man ja Coins in beiden Netzen hat. Aber grundsätzlich sollte der Glaube an den Wert einer Chain bzw einer Bitcoinversion die Entscheidung bringen. Und spätestens wenn Bitcoin anfängt unvertrauenswürdig zu werden, weil normale Transaktionen nicht mehr bestätigt werden, werden die User ärgerlich und gehen auf die Fork, wenn sie denn vorgeschlagen wird oder verlassen bitcoin ganz.

Ich gehe davon aus, dass ein Fork ohne Konsens sehr schnell untergehen wird. Eventuelle verlassen dann einige Nutzer Bitcoin, aber ich wüsste nicht, was man dagegen machen könnte.

Was verstehst du unter Konsens? Wer muss einverstanden sein? Die Bitcoiner allgemein, abstimmend durch Nutzung der jeweiligen Walletsoftware?

Noch eine Frage die ich mir stelle ist ob es, wenn zwei blockchains existieren, die andere Blockchain anzugreifen indem man die eigenen Coins auf dieser chain auf den Exchanges verkauft. Der preis würde crashen und man könnte sagen "Seht ihr, das war nicht der echte bitcoin, die leute glauben nicht daran." Das geht natürlich in beide Richtungen. Wäre halt wirklich eine Glaubenssache denn wenn doch die andere chain gewinnt dann hat man nichts mehr bzw seine coins verschleudert.

Keine ahnung was für ein großes Problem das sein würde.


Und ich bin ziemlich sicher sie werden kein Lightning Network nutzen da der Einfluß auf die Situation der aus der Richtung kommt viel zu kontrovers gesehen wird.

Ist schon traurig dass wir jetzt angeblich Hilfsmittel brauchen damit Bitcoin funktioniert. Roll Eyes Ein Verschwörungstheoretiker könnte daraus vermutlich viel machen. Cheesy

Das hat aber bei LN keine technische Berechtigung, sondern eher eine politische weniger Nutzer. Auch hier sollte man sich das System erst mal genau anschauen, bevor man irgendwelchen Meinungsführern nachläuft. Eigentlich sollte Bitcoin die Nutzer genau diesen Punkt gelehrt haben - Eigenverantwortung.


Richtig. Nur erstmal ist es wieder nur eine altcoin die halt bitcoin nutzt. Und all diese Coins die angetreten sind um bitcoin vom Thron zu stoßen sind damit ja noch nicht wirklich weit gekommen. NXT, ethereum usw. Ich denke einfach da wird nicht so großartig viel bei rauskommen mit LN.

Was ich aber finde ist dass es paradox ist. Wir haben eine Währung. Die ursprüngliche und echte. Bitcoin. Und jetzt plötzlich soll bitcoin nicht mehr gut genug sein, es wäre kaputt und wir müssten jetzt eine andere Altcoin benutzen. Ziemlich paradox wenn man bedenkt dass das einzige was es kaputt macht eben ein künstliches Korsett ist.

Not sure how moderators actions towards you is relevant to their (possible) lack of action towards others.

It only looked strange when one thread was deleted but the other not. And my post pointing that out was deleted then by a moderator. It looked a bit... strange. Cheesy


Its a single example of a thread that at least appears helpfull / a lot of work that was edited rather than removed. I still dont see where is this is a big problem.

Now it seems there is no problem anymore with the refids deleted out.
2045  Other / Meta / Re: Thread keep being deleted on: November 23, 2015, 11:22:00 PM
What SebastianJu describes does not sound constructive to me, thats why I was wondering whether it actually happens that often or they just feel like it does.
I understand. However it is pretty obvious that he is not aware of just how much referral spam is being deleted daily. People who report often like you are more aware of this. Also there is always going to be a difference between referral left by newbies and older members due to the fact that a lot more people are watching newbies and can delete their posts.

I don't know it of course. Though i was wondering what was going on with that poster. One refspamthread deleted, the other not. And then the strange thing with my deleted post where i pointed out that there is another refspamthread from that user. Guess finally i have a possible explaination for both things. My post was deleted because grue wanted to merge two posts of mine but copied wrongly. And the second thread was not deleted because a mod thought it should stay when the reflinks are gone.
2046  Other / Meta / Re: Thread keep being deleted on: November 23, 2015, 11:19:28 PM
tl;dr where is the ref link again? Moderators probably edited the post.
I'm guessing that https://1broker.com/m/r.php had some sort of ID on the end which made it a referral link. As you said, Mods likely edited the post.

Yes, i was wondering the same when i looked at the thread. Since normally reflinks have a ?=243 at the end. I'm relatively sure these were real reflinks. In fact it probably wouldn't make sense either to post a link that goes to the 1broker page that works up reflinks. So the links really have to be edited i guess. Maybe a mod thought that the tutorial can stay when the reflinks go away.

curious confessed to being the digger.

Oh wow. Interesting. Did he provide proof? Where's the wallet coming from and why did he chose to crash the price the way he did instead playing the game calmly and earning more that way?

Guess the recent talk of stopping the digging ability of clams was the next bad result coming from that wooden hammer method he used.

how much his capital to start trading altcoin ?


Without showing proofs I wouldn't believe it. Half the time its probably just scammers trying to sucker people in by showing wads of cash and trying to get them to invest in them for big gains. Wouldn't surprise me if the cash was fake or all of it came from scamming newbs lol.

Exactly, especially the link to that book or course or what that is. It's a common advertising technique and everyone should be very cautious of that.

But even so, wikipedia is a try to decentralize knowledge. If you don't want to use that (Wikipedia) you have to trust other parties, like government or whatever.

That is just about the most stupid thing I've read on this board this month. Congrats.



*lol* So you add a word to my sentence and make it another sentence only so that you can claim that it is now a stupid sentence. Congrats back to you then. Roll Eyes

What i meant is that you either trust a decentralized approach of collecting of knowledge or a centralized one like governments, companies or whatever.

This obsession you people have with sticking buzzwords to your statements absent of any relation whatsoever with its content...

Wikipedia, while open-source in theory, is obviously not "decentralized".

Speaking of Wikipedia, this article might be relevant to you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trust,_but_verify


Wikipedia is the try to let everyone take part in collecting and providing knowledge. It's not a company or so that provides it. So wikipedia is obviously way more decentralized then other forms of knowledge providing. I did not state that it is perfect, it is not. But they tried to go in that direction.

I think it was more the part where you suggested that trusting government information was a useful alternative to trusting Wikipedia. I can see how you are the sort of person that trusts government information and Wikipedia.


No surprise, then, that you've sided with the corporate/government bootlicking contingent. Team Cypherpunk FTW, I'm afraid, this is the 21st century.

Um, were exactly did you read that from? I did not write that. brg claimed that wikipedia is unreliable and i answered that wikipedia is the equivalent of a decentralized approach of collecting knowledge. If someone doesn't want to use that then he has to trust centralized approaches of knowledge providing. Where you read from that i would prefer the latter sounds a bit strange. I mean you realize that i suggested wikipedia, right?

And it's funny that you claim i side with corporations. Which would that be then? The bitcoin-xt corporation? I never supported it beside the need of bigger blocks. Or are you of the false impression that iam a fan of blockstream maybe? I can assure you that is not the case, be at ease.
2051  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Gavin is so desperate about his fork? Is he hiding something? on: November 23, 2015, 11:04:02 PM
It is pretty simple. Go to wikipedia and search the corresponding article.

Yes, Wikipedia, the indisputable bearer of scientific truth  Roll Eyes

As if Wikipedia has any ability to refute the voluminous primary evidence of corruption of science disclosed by the heroic Climategate whistleblower.

As if there is a good explanation for an array called "fudge factor" in code comments which distorts given inputs into a hockey stick.

SebastianJu lacks basic literacy in science (IE fails to understand why you don't change max_blocksize control variable in the middle of Bitcoin's experiment with fee markets, and fails to understand why it is invalid to manipulate climate data until it fits predetermined politicized ManBearPig hypothesis).

He belongs to the pre-Enlightenment world of magical thinking, where his bigger block fetish can work miracles of scaling Bitcoin and the Climate Gods punish wicked mankind for the sins of industrialization.   Grin

Sebastian, go back to your cave you ignorant superstitious caveman.  Or go back to swinging in trees and eating bananas if caves and fire are too much technological progress for your delicate feelings to cope with.   Cheesy

Well, at this point it sounds stupid to repeat myself. You claim again and again that the max blocksize limit is part of a scientific experiment. Only because it is one for you doesn't mean that it was intended as one. In fact there is no hint at all that it was meant that way. You circumvent that fact by repeating your opinion that this is a scientific test. Sorry, but on that base discussion can't take place. It would be a waste of time with forseeable result... which would be none.

I agree with you, IF this would have been a scientific experiment then you would be fully right. But it isn't and was never. And even when you and a couple of other people believe so, it doesn't change that fact.

I know about these manipulation accusations. The thing is everyone can see that things change already. Yes yes, i know, it's the sun or some natural rhythms... ah... i'm tired of this. I suggested wikipedia because one can easily see at least the common answers to all these claims of falsification and so on.

*lol* At the end you made me laugh again. Ignorant caveman. Well, i think i don't need to explain to yourself what it means when someone, in a discussion, turns to personal attacks instead answering with facts only. Though i like your colorful fantasy, so i prefer to take it with humour. Cheesy

2053  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin halving to be canceled? on: November 23, 2015, 10:13:42 PM
10 hours occasionally corresponds to 100 minutes on average, just like today we sometimes see 50-60 minutes between confirmations with 10 minutes allegedly being the average. Regarding 90% of all miners leaving (in terms of hashing power) and why it makes sense, you only need to find out that this number is made up from just a few major mining pools (5-6 maybe)...

Certainly not hundreds of individual independent miners

Of course that's possible to happen, even though it should be rarely the case. Well, at the end we think around a topic that is highly speculative and most probably not a real problem. Nothing like that will happen when blockhalving happens. The same way nothing big happened with the other halving before.

That's the most shaky argument so far. First, everything happens for the first time some day, and shit hits the fan more often than not. Second, when was the last halving? What were the miners' profit margins back then? I remember that in 2013 we had more powerful and economical mining equipment entering the market every now and then...

How do the matters stand right now?

You are right... the asic tech is not much further to develop i think. So it might be that alot miners will be switched off. Though when at past times more and more miners were switched on, leading to shorter conf time for some days, then it would be ok when the same happens in the other direction. What i doubt is that everyone will switch off instantly. That never happened and will not most probably. Especially not in the average timeframe of 1 week until the next diff adjustment takes place. Miners tend to observe first before they act.

I might be wrong though but that's how i see miners.

I think you might need to register again at amazon.com.

So can I use purse.io to order stuff to France? I have tried it once 6 months ago but it hasn't worked and I had many problems with it.

I don't want to try it again if it doesn't work 100%.

What where the problems? Some articles can't be shipped to some countries. You need to login into amazon and then you can read at the product page if it ships to your country. At amazon.com you can even filter for that.

I am ordering from Amazon.fr. Whenever I log into Amazon.com it redirects me to the French version. That's why I have suspected that purse.io cannot be used with the French Amazon and I just gave up.
2055  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: [ANN] Purse.io - Bitcoin Amazon Marketplace - Save ~10-25% on Amazon Wishlist on: November 23, 2015, 09:41:17 PM
i need to ask one thing, from where they ship the item? they use the amazon the buyers usually use in their language or from the abroad amazon? because in the last case there is the customs to pay....

It is the same like you order the items. If you order on amazon.com then it will be sent from america for example. It depends from which amazon country you made a wishlist.

And yes, customs have to be kept in mind.

If your country has an amazon version and purse is supporting it, then you can make your wishlist there.

it seems that they are supporting italy, i just want to be sure that i don't need to pay the customs, because it's very expensive, and would kill the point to use it

If the goods are imported into your country then you have to pay custom. If you let the buyer buy at the amazon version of your country then you most probably don't have to pay because it doesn't get shipped over the border.
2056  Other / Meta / Re: Thread keep being deleted on: November 23, 2015, 01:12:13 PM
Make sure that your thread follows all the rules and hasn't already been posted.
What thread do you want to make?
I was making a thread to promote a advertising program i just joined in the investor based games section.
I can't see what is wrong with what i posted, are referral links not allowed in that section or something ?
Referral links are not allowed anywhere in this forum in a post. You can only have them in your signature.

That's the theory. I know a user who posts regularly "Tutorials" filled with reflinks in each second sentence. He promises the next part comes soon but it never comes. Requests are ignored. And the first tutorial is so easy that nobody needs it anyway. Even when the mods are informed, they don't care.

So either they don't care generally or only by certain persons.

Never seen ref spam not get deleted, do you have an example of this?

User Indamuck created a tutorial for trading at 1Broker. I have read the first part and it was so basic info that it was practically worthless because everyone can see it himself when registering on 1Broker. Though there were reflinks everywhere. It looks like he edited the post later and took out a lot reflinks but still there are a lot in there. Normally these links are followed by a number, i don't know why it's missing. I think there was one when he posted it but i'm not sure. At least that /m/r.php is the url to the refferalscript. Don't know how it works without a number.

Since the tutorial was nothing more a user could create who just registered on there i waited for the second part. He had claimed he will post it later that day. Nothing happened. I asked in the thread and nothing happened. I sent him a pm but he did not react. Nothing after a month.

The tutorial is here, by the way: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1102823.new;topicseen#new

Then i found this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1146165.new#new where Indamuck claimed he was able to identify Moderator Cyrus being an Ass Clown. While reading that thread i came to the impression that the tutorial of 1Broker was deleted and i agreed with Cyrus decision since it was really nothing more than refspam. Only then i realized that it was another "tutorial" he was speaking about because the 1broker tutorial still existed. So he did that more than once. At least 2 Tutorials filled with reflinks, one thread deleted because of that and a second part not coming and ignoring everyone asking for it. Looks like the purpose was met by placing the reflinks.

I made a post about that in that thread, claiming that Indamuck did that more than one time and that the other thread still exists. What happened? My post was deleted. Cheesy Funny isn't it? Me claiming that he spammed more reflinks were deleted by a moderator. Which brought up the question if Indamuck somehow is related to staff. I made a post about it, second post in thread is the deleted message, here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1156938.0

No staff reacted. I pm'ed this moderator bear... don't remember the name now but did not get an answer. Later i contacted cyrus about my deleted posts but he did not delete the "tutorial".

Now when i see the last post in that thread, it's mine, there is a line and the text copied again. I'm pretty sure that i did not draw that line and cyrus claimed that grue had edited that post the last time. So in light of that an explaination might be that i posted 2 posts one after another. Grue might have wanted to put them together, drew a line but accidentally copied the content of the first post and not the one from the second post under the line. Then deleted the second post. Might be an explaination...

Don't know what to say about the tutorial part.

2058  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin halving to be canceled? on: November 23, 2015, 12:46:34 PM
Two weeks indeed is much better than half a year, though I leave you to decide on this issue with the other poster pretending it to take 145 days. I don't say that the low timeframes are not valid, I just say that they don't matter as much as the high ones, if anything at all. In other words, 10 minutes won't change anything since this is what we already have today, but 10 hours and 100 minutes on average will be an entirely new story...

And likely not a good one with a happy end

For 100 minutes 90%!!! of all miners need to stop. For 10 hours you know it's way more. And it would not make sense at all that so many miners stop because less miners mean they will earn more because they don't have to share with the other miners that left. Of course that will only happen once difficulty is adjusted but surely there will be no big immediate leaving of the network.

10 hours occasionally corresponds to 100 minutes on average, just like today we sometimes see 50-60 minutes between confirmations with 10 minutes allegedly being the average. Regarding 90% of all miners leaving (in terms of hashing power) and why it makes sense, you only need to find out that this number is made up from just a few major mining pools (5-6 maybe)...
