Just to say for the BTH progress bar, it appears the core devs changed something about RPC in the new version of Bitcoind. I'm not having much luck finding any info on what exactly at the moment so I'm trying a downgrade.

Have RPC calls (or how the username/password are specified) changed? This was working fine until the upgrade.

i quit mining because it is pointless to mine in the usa. you buy hardware to mine with and write that off along with ur electricity and whatever else. then you have to mine for months just to break even. then mine several more months to make profit. then you pay the irs income tax on everything you mined. then u have to wait a year to sell to get lower tax rate on the profit you sold your coins at. i mined mostly because i am a hardware geek who tinkered with mining hardware. you are better off just straight buying coins and HODL them. you do not get taxed (at least not yet <roll eyes>) for buying and holding bitcoins. HODL for at least one year and you wont pay as high of taxes (if you consider the 15% TAX RATE THAT OBAMA RAISED TO 20% AS NOT ABUSIVE HIGH TAXES). all my cold storage coins will be one year or older at new years. no point in me selling them though.
i believe the usa govy taxes are to high in an extreme way. we are talking abusively high taxes.
There's no better way to get clean coins though. |

Massive new data centres using new generations of highly efficient mining chips. This is mining now:  That is ridiculous  |

Somehow I figured he was talking about me  Nope. Much less than your activity anyway. Just more than the sockpuppets usually get to recently. |

Lambie seems more retarded than usual. Are they working shifts?
Yrpapers? Dunno, I've started putting any new posters here on ignore - I feel guilty about the false positives, but not that guilty. There's been a couple of times I've been drawn into a conversation and half way through had my ovine suspicions confirmed and ended up sticking the wee lamb's latest alt on ignore. People have been more diligent about "Report to moderator" and those accounts haven't been lasting long anyway. Though there's at least one with a fairly decent activity count where I think Lambie is playing the long con. |

Makes holding $ more attractive so possibly not.

It's unlikely the Fed will hike rates: the world is addicted to cheap credit now and the restrictive monetary policy would send the global GDP to oblivion.
I think it's all but a sure thing I'd wager a 95% chance they hike today by 25 bps the market will violently correct if this doesn't happen and the Fed will have lost face Nope. It's a choice between losing some face (of which there's not much left anyway) and causing a stock market downturn two weeks before an election year. I'm going with no change. |

Bitcoin Foundation
Izzat thing still around? "The truth is that the foundation is pretty much dead. They will try to keep it going just for the name and ego, but they have no support left with the community," he wrote.
Apparently, not really. |

Seems the bitch is going north again.
We all know how this ends

Still, it's full of geniuses lamenting the scarcity of the blockspace and the consequent fees, ignoring that economics is all about scarcities.
And since that's way too much ignoring, they must be trolls for hire.
There is scarcity and then there is artificial scarcity. One is a natural consequence of the laws of physics, the other is typically someone trying to screw others over. |

He can wait forever, if he does not want to pay a damned fee for the service.
The free shit party is happening in some other place.
What's a fair price for the last seat on a lifeboat on the Titanic? Then what if I told you there were a bunch of other lifeboats but we're keeping them back because we think there should be a fee "market?" Edited to add the quotes around "market" |

If unclear, I'm not saying you haven't used Bitcoin as money in the past, when there were fewer transactions and the blocks were not full.
What I am saying is that when the blocks become full, as is already happening now & will most certainly happen if more people try to use BTC, Bitcoin will stop to function.
I may accept your payment without waiting for it to be confirmed, just like I may accept your promise that the check's in the mail, *but I can't use it*.
Calm down comrade. If you wait patiently, you too will get your loaf of bread place in the blockchain in good time.  But don't worry, if you have any concerns, you can make them heard through our Minister of Truth, Commissar Theymos. |

Not yet. Still 10%+ inflationary  Depends on how you look at it. But I'm happy to run with that. |

It seems like in this thread there have been lots of recommendations for various settings and tweaks for bitcoind, p2pool and the various miners. It doesn't seem like anyone is correcting these anywhere. I may do so if someone is not already.

TERA doesn't seem to agree. i don't really know how to see it. i tend not to look at the markets, more the actual tech and the growth in transactions and users.
Well, context is important but a lot of the time when it's just sitting there, that is my interpretation. It's a game I've played myself in real forex (it doesn't take much on a small exchange) |

Cant go up forever.
Sure it can. It's a deflationary currency. |

You made the mistake of assuming someone who puts up multiple $2 million sell walls on several different exchanges in the exact same position wants the price of Bitcoin to go down even though they own millions of dollars worth of it.
I mean, this is wall-observer 101 isn't it? Sell walls are for accumulating at lower prices. |

This can legitimately happen.
But not this   |

bitcoinwisdom is very weird for bitfinex, the sell side shows 442 yet the price is 448, something is definitely wrong
This can legitimately happen. |
