Where have all the big blockers gone?
Where is our friend Gab0? Where is Peter R? Who will lecture us on the burning necessity of big blocks now that they are no longer with us?
Should we start an “adopt a big blocker” program ?
They all had a nervous breakdown, and then through the advice from their families they joined BBLA: Big Blocker Lovers Anonymous TM. Right now they are all sitting in a circle with CSW, Roger, and Jihan, and going through the denial phase together as they contemplate how R3kt they are that SW and LN are spreading like wildfire. They'll probably jump out the window when Core decides to raise the Bitcoin block size to 2mb. That circle they are sitting around in is not for support and therapy. They are just a bunch of vultures hoping BTC will die. Unfortunately, for them, Honey Badger won't die. |

sometimes I actually wonder if this whole crypto thing is just one mega giant hoax (bigger than the religion one)
perpetrated on the greed of all of humanity by space aliens...
No need for space aliens. It's the Illuminati. |

Wonder if they are now going to try to squeeze the shorts again... Sunday surprise?  We will see. Still have quite a way to go to force liquidations. |

It's not ready for prime time. Use at own risk. Do they have a 'timeline' or are they being the usual 'bitcoin core' coy ...about if/when/ever anything they do is 'ready'  I believe the developers of Lightning Network are somewhat annoyed that their product is now being actively tested with real Bitcoins. Slightly modified versions, of course, that allow for it to be on mainnet rather than testnet. |

'Member that time Coinbase allowed some idiot to bid up BCash to $4k? Lol
Actually, it was $9k. Oh was it? That's even funnier. Yes, that roll out was a real shit show.  |

LOL
BCC diving for $10
For a moment there, I thought you were talking about BCH. What a branding fuck up to start out your hardfork.  |

Artificially restricting its growth causes a direct benefit for the altcoins. ... yeah artificially restricting growth by spamming the blockchain with artificial transactions seems like such a wise business model for the bitcoinn FUDsters ... idiots abound. They shit in the pool and wonder why everyone is hopping out?? |

Can anyone give me a hint why GDAX has been the bearish exchange the last couple of days? Could this be a signal that many of their users are making their exit via fiat? Coinbase can be a rather convenient way to do this.

I think it is juuuuust a bit premature to call the mesh topology a done deal. I hate Ver as much as the next guy, but a few enthusiast nerds testing doesn't really prove anything.
It is not going to surprise me one little bit if, in the future, I want to transact with, say, Digikey that will entail using my channel with Amazon, who has a channel with, say, McMaster Carr, who has a channel with Digikey. Centralization of major LN nodes is a real danger that we need to be vigilant about.
I dunno man, seems like it's off to a good start to me. https://i.redd.it/yi3az7rqwnc01.pngI'll be more convinced once some more big fish come on board to see if it retains it's mesh-like nature. Also, LN still has a few bugs to work out. I wouldn't use it on mainnet, ATM. |

Keep posting - it's actually refreshing to see comments like yours, since they are removed from facebook or twitter for being "hate speech", while the radical left advocates for violence against groups they don't like by playing victim.
I can't agree with your statement, since in the US, blacks were brought as slaves against their will, but I find it still more truthful (migrant crisis and forced multiculturalism, as examples) than the radical left's insanity.
THE US ended the legal importation of slaves in like 1807. Most of them were brought here against their will when the colonies were under control of the Europeans. Don't try to lessen the European's culpability by blaming it on the damn Yankees. The Arabs and the Africans themselves had a role too. |

You don't even have to tell who.
Are you trying to claim this statement isn't true? It's probably the most factually accurate statement ever written: It's a good strategy when you have groups of people attempting to act as "white people stalkers" to follow them around and act as parasites on them. Whites and asians seem to build the best civilizations, while most people regard white women as looking the best. So the monkeys try to get into the white civilization to displace the white inhabitants and take their stuff + women. You would need to be a super cuckold to want that to happen, so it seems like a good idea calling them monkeys to let them know they're not wanted to keep them out.
Well, it appears in the 17th and 18th centuries, they were more than wanted in the Americas. There was even a market set up to import them into the new colonies for labor. After all, the indigenous people of the Americas didn't fair too well with the new diseases(to them) and/or outright pillage and plunder of their gold/silver, so they were not really a viable labor source at the time. I highly doubt these "immigrants" from Africa had some kind of goal to take the white people's stuff and women. In fact, they were actually part of the white people's "stuff." |

I think it's going up for real this time. Or in less than a week at most. Also lightning network should start a buying frenzy...
Lightning network is useless for mass adoption without turning bitcoin into an exact replica of the banking system that already exists, but that's probably their goal. In the end, bugmen and cucks will get BTFO and silver and gold will win no matter how many jew shills try to push their cashless society slave system. Can't veto a solution without offering a better one. His better solution is to buy enough silver to fill an Olympic size pool. Gold would work too.  |

I’m on mobile. What’s a break out ? 11,500?
Keep in mind those TX could be the mother of all dumps too
We are on $11,400.
Or it could be people moving their BTC to pump up some shitcoin. Hopefully, for my sake, it's Cardano. Yeah, i did take a small chance on it. It was a few days before the B rating came in. Unfortunately, I'm still in the red on it. |

A question for my esteemed colleagues. Is there a relationship between men pool size and price? If yes, is mempool a leading or trailing indicator of price?
I really fail to see why they would correlate. I think the collapse in the mempool can be attributed to the "mystery" spammers giving up (as it has become increasingly obvious that no flippening will be forthcoming), Coinbase finally, belatedly, being shamed into batching and increased segwit adoption. I am happy to be shown to be wrong. I think part of the reason the spamming has stopped is the spammers know a clogged mempool may entice people to actually try the Lightning Network. If they try it, they may like it. Big Blockers want people to think the Lightning Network is a big scary thing. BCH is banking that their totally on-chain solution is the correct path. |

Ok..lets take a look at PM's...heck..dollars or seashells..any physical store of value.
The idea of being able to materialize any object out of thin air, as the metaphor suggests, is a bit tough to wrap ones mind around. First, understand that quantum mechanics tells us that there is not really such a thing as empty space. Even in a vacuum, ultra-tiny particles can be found constantly coming into existence for extremely short periods of time. Although these particles are quickly annihilated when they collide with a corresponding anti-particle made from antimatter, they nevertheless exist ... and in the moment when they do exist they seemingly emerge "out of thin air."
One of the virtual particles than appear out of the vacuum actually has a special property. It has negative energy to balance out the positive energy of the corresponding virtual particle. I believe it would take something monumental, such as a black hole, in order to rip the created pair far enough apart. Even in that case, the negative energy particle is not isolated in any way. It is absorbed by the black hole, and the black hole loses mass/energy. So it is basically a zero sum game. |

The bleeding is slowing, time for that unending crawl back up IMO. As I am young and still haven't worked a career job, my retirement plans are non-existent. Have fun retirees, I want to hear about some nice river-boatin, gun-totin', cigar-smoking, seastead-floatin' stories in the future
If the forum sees some serious updating, this thread better stay in tact. How the hell do I merit anyone. My guess is that I can't!
You will need to earn two merits in order to be able to reward 1 merit back. (Since you are a newbie, you didn't get any merits to reward other people.) I'll give you two. Then you can give one to someone else. |

Bitcoin Forum > Merit You have received a total of 500 merit. Vot isa dis?? lols Who wants some MERIT is this somehow related to me asking for Chaintipr here ? It seems Merit is directly related to your rank. As far as I can see, all full members have a merit of 100. It is interesting that I can give at most 3 merit to someone else. And members have 11 merits. So it is kind of "Like" thumbs up in social networks. More you have more trustable? Anyway interesting feature, imo. agree m8. Considering all bitcointalk users have been deprived of something to rate users with for so long...anything will be interesting lols They should make a merit coin lols is there any way to check who gave you smerits? Just go to your profile and click merit. |
