applications of blockchain, including bitcoin. Keep pushing that narrative, bankster guys.  |

the halvening is coming faster now, the miners can sense it and work away harder
The run up to the halvening will really start in 2016. This is just a few people trying to get ahead of that. |

After reading this question about his ability to resist talking under torture asked to Satoshi years ago I understood why he disappeared. If I was Satoshi I wouldn't reveal my identity for al the money in the world. We will be lucky if we ever get another message from him, but I doubt we'll ever discover his identity.
I too think he will remain silent. However, I think he likely left trails that could eventually reveal him. Most notably, it seems some people do know who he is plus, if it was a group... Three can keep a secret when two are dead. |

ChartBuddy's graph for Bit Finex is slightly wrong this time I guess! I noticed it was $440.42 at 11:00:47 AM. It would actually be from the orderbook at 10:59. Also, it shows the spread, not the price (I keep meaning to add the price in but it's low priority) |

i loooove coming here and having people to share the euphoria with.
i know no one irl who gives a flying shit about bitcoin.
i'm all "isn't it great?!?"
one friend has been saying the following phrase to me since january 2013:
"i really need to get some bitcoins"
I usually give $5-10 worth to anyone I know who seems interested. |

I'm not convinced the majority of Bitcoin users would be running full nodes even if the resource cost were 0. It's just not worth the hassle for most, unless the userbase consisted almost solely of idealistic cypherpunks.
Exactly. My experience was, I ran bitcoin-qt for a bit but didn't really want it running all the time so it was annoying when it had to catch up so as soon as I had a lightweight wallet on my phone, I used that instead for the most part (importantly, I still maintained control of my keys). Now I am doing development against bitcoind so I run it full-time on my Linux server. The takeaway is that people will run a full node when it is beneficial to them. For better or worse, there is no direct financial reward for doing so. There *are* other benefits for a casual consumer running a node but for the most part, people don't care about that. Running full nodes was never going to be ubiquitous and Satoshi himself acknowledged that. |

Regarding trying to increase adoption of p2pool....
are there any 'official' packaged releases of p2pool for Linux and/or Windows ?
Thinking that if there are not, establishing packages in the main repositories may be a good way to promote adoption.
A livecd might be interesting. Or possibly a VM. |

hashrate is going nuts. this is a much better metric to gauge bitcoin's success than price!
In some ways yes, in some ways, hell no. What will be interesting is if mining growth plateaus. I believe we haven't seen another bubble recently because all (most of) the money has been going into mining. |

If Bitcoin is worth $32k and only has a 1MB block size, it will act solely as either:
1) a clearing/settlement network for banks
or
2) a clearing/settlement network for the Lightning Network
Yeah, supposedly a few cents for disk space and bandwidth will drive people away from having full nodes but they'll be wanting to keep them around for settling up with their off-chain transaction handler once per month. |

Or you can run Core if you want to, p2pool just tags the block with bip101 regardless
You mean just your fork there, right? |
|
|
|
|
Please forgive me if I missed it but do we have the option of a BIP101 bitcoind with the new p2pool yet?

Maybe my fears are unjustified. I don't yet know enough about it to know. What I do know is that I don't trust that all those crowing about how this SegWit is going to save us have really looked at it to the point where they understand it.
I'm with you. I am reasonably confident that it probably won't introduce any actual problems but it seems to be a way to increase the blocksize whilst pretending that you haven't capitulated to those who were saying we needed to increase the blocksize meanwhile adding a bunch more complexity than just increasing the blocksize. I travel with a computer backpack and a camera sling. The airline only allows one carry-on so I put the camera sling into the backpack. Net difference to the airline, 0 but I'm sticking to the rules. It all seems to be a game of semantics. On the other hand, it at least does address the capacity issue so as long as all my coins don't get stolen, I'm good. |

@Richy_T ChartBuddy's halvening countdown is busted again  Oops. I have to kill bitcoind or my work videophone craps out. Forgot to restart it. Thanks |

Thank you, it just gets complicated for me if i was to switch wallets. I wasn't even able to just move blocks to my laptop from pc as it messed up so i'll wait. So i could send the bitcoins and then it just wont update till whenever but the guy on the other side would get them immediately? Thanks  That would work as long as there has been no spending on the addresses in question in the meantime. |

Just let me know when to dump this shit so I can buy the dump and repeat.  When we hit warp factor 3  |
