Bitcoin now has a rather nice flag formation after the rise from 200-500 with little media fanfare. The alt's are waking up and the halving is approaching. The only thing keeping bitcoin back is the blocksize debate which will soon resolve either by a HF with majority of miner support, or with Core acquiescing to the demands of the market and miners (3 weeks!) and fixing a 2mb blocksize HF in the roadmap. The Chinese will stick with Core, they are quite conservative with respect to leadership. I'd be surprised to see Core implement 2MB blocks in addition to segregated witness, but we'll see. And so long, farewell, auf wiedersehen 300s! I'm actually pleasantly surprised with the steady price increase recently. Does anyone know the reasoning behind the increase? Does it have anything to do with the lack of users moving to classic or something, and now that the investors see that, they're buying again? Or has Classic caused the increase as more users flock to it? i think thats the reason. miners are hesitant and so a contentious HF is for the moment highly unlikely. 95% HF in 2017 is therefore highly likely. |

The price suddenly fell below 6$. Any idea?
bitcoin is rising. that could trigger a bigger correction. |

BTC kommt langsam in Bewegung nach oben. Sollte BTC auf 400$ gehen, gibts ne deutliche Korrektur bei den Altcoins.

Hat eigentlich niemand Expanse auf der Pumper Rechnung gehabt?
jo, ich  |

crazy that with all this altcoin-hype bitcoin still manages to creep up slowly but slowly...

The reason for this is imo, that Dash promised a lot and a lot of projects started, but one has the impression that none of those really found it's end.
For instance darkmixing. For how long now is this feature available now? A year? Recently i used it for the first time and was SO dissapointed. It took me 2 (!) days to mix 1000 coins. Unbelievable! Who do expect to use that stuff when everything takes so long? I know its a solvable issue. But ffs its been a year now! Same goes for masternode blinding etc.
You got to finish things first before moving ahead and open new projects.

I have a more serous question about this project. As far as I understand it the only real innovation is the community DAO, which by itself is not really that innovative at all, there are other projects that have already done this. However as far as I understand it, this is being presented as an alternative to Ethereum. I do not see what is wrong with Ethereum however since its launch was fair. Ethereum still requires a lot of development work, and I do not see how this project will be able to overtake the network effect and development that Ethereum has. I am even wondering if Expanse will be able to keep up with updating when Ethereum is updated and changed. Furthermore I do not think that the governance of Ethereum is necessarily flawed. If you really wanted to tackle that problem there should have been a allotment in the block reward that allocates a certain percentage to Expanse funding which would then have to be voted upon by some process. Dash and Bitshares are both examples of such a process. Having a singular pre-mine like this which is supposedly decided upon by the community, with such a small group of founders, and small community I do not necessarily see that working out well. I do not see any type of great innovation or need that this project is filling, besides maybe peoples greed wanting to jump onto the "next Ethereum" as Ethereum is currently going parabolic. So yes I am here critiquing this cryptocurrency. Please correct me if I am wrong with a convincing argument and I might even invest myself.  the answer is: price. what do you think should a well managed clone of eth be worth? i say that 1% of the marketcap of eth should be absolutely fine. agree? now go and make a little math and you know why to buy. |

Bitcoin = dezentrale Datenbank Etherum = dezentraler Computer Sag das nicht wieder zu laut ImI, sonst wirst du nur wieder gehatet von BTC Fanatikern. Ganz ehrlich; die Koexistenz anderer Projekte neben dem Bitcoin ist keine Gefahr für BTC als solches, vielmehr Erweitert es die Reichweite von BTC und die Anwendungsmöglichkeiten, manchmal muss ich mir echt an den Kopf fassen, wenn ich so einiges auf der TradingSeite lese. Es scheint so, als hätten einige die Befürchtung das andere Projekte die Marktkapitalisierung von BTC bedrohen und dadurch BTC selbst, das Gegenteil ist der Fall. Abgesehen davon, gehöre ich zu denen die mit BTC in Berührung gekommen sind, weil ich das Finanzsystem als solches in Gefahr sehe durch die Massenflutung von Geld und dem Giralgeld welches unerschöpflich kreiert wird. Ob jetzt BTC oder ein anders Projekt oder andere Projekte den Geldwertbestand schützen ist mir wayne, das Fiat als solches nicht mehr bestehen kann ist den meisten oben auch schon aufgefallen deshalb auch bekannerweise die Bargeldabschaffung, aber jetzt werde ich wieder OT wie andere im TradingTread / zumindestens hat jeder das Problem erkannt. ja, ich sehe das auch eher als symbiose an. bitcoin ist mittlerweile eine echte marke geworden mit hohem bekanntheitswert. |

can someone school me on the crypto coin? I don't want to re-read and search this thread..just some pros/cons on EXP so I can invest. I'm seeing this fly on polo exhange and just want to see whats goin on. thx
its basically just a copyclone of etherum. thats it. but its marketcap is compared to eth very small. etherum = 400mio expanse = 200.000$ |

The main advantages of Ethereum over Bitcoin is that people in control are qualified and expected to not screw everything, unlike Core people.
You must be oblivious to the development crisis's and mistakes in Ethereum and the flight of developers from that project. I think its main advantage could be that the founder of the project is still there and functions as a "natural consensus". Also its good that his identity is known. Apart from that ETH could get the same problems and civilwars that Bitcoin is experiencing. |

No other coin has been through the fire yet. I doubt any of them will survive "governance".
to implement a voting-mechanism per stake could solve the issue. in the end its the holders of the currency who should decide which way to go. That's what we have now. It's called fiat. lol i can't remember being asked what rate hike should be next... That's because you don't have enough stake. Get yourself a Federal Reserve bank and enjoy the power. so, in fiat we dont have a "voting-mechanism per stake"? you dont say?! you see, in fact fiat is more like a small developer-group deciding which way to go. its basically the same, just some small group of politicians and economists deciding. |

devs should all agree to 2MB blocks And segwit
that way classic and core can both coexist and we can 4x capacity
What about the internal governance issues in Classic? Isn't there some resistance to classic by core because there are changes to internal governance? So in other words, Core could adopt the 2mb aspect of Classic without changes to internal governance (if it wants to continue to shun classic), no? yes, but meanwhile this thing has become a matter of pride and kiddiefight. especially gmax and luke seem very hesitant in doing any compromise. jonas schnelli on the other side already signaled being able to update to 2MB. |

ok, classic is released, now lets see what the miners have to say.
