how they gonna get the coins?  

don't you believe that if he really is Satoshi, then he would be smart enough to take various security and/or preventative measures to guard, camouflage and or separate his stash of coins - so maybe at most the govt could get access to 10% of his stash, if that?


Yep. If you have that much, you divide it up into at least three stashes. The big main one you hope to keep, a much smaller one which is your backup in case your larger one gets compromised then one somewhere in the middle which you hope they won't bother with once they've got your main and your backup out of you. Then you have more just because you're paranoid. I wouldn't be surprised if SN had at least 10 cold storage wallets, all (exept one or two "sacrificial" wallets) encrypted and well hidden away in ways that the inventor of the world's first viable crypto currency could come up with and a good selection of hot wallets for walking around money.

PSA- Remember kids:

When some bogus news about some wannabe wank from Australia who claims to be SN, that's the sell signal.

allright chief! just sold all my stack. thx for your kind advice! that was close...  Kiss

I know right! Sarcasm makes you seem really clever and smarter, yes! Kiss Kiss

Whereas a cynical and pessimistic attitude just makes you seem so cool and edgy.

It's rather clear this thing is a hoax. Don't ask me the intentions behind it but this egomaniac couldn't possibly be Satoshi.

Nice to have something to agree with you on Smiley

I like the change.


It's more the agenda than the change itself.

Also, comments with a score of -5 or lower will no longer be hidden. I think that this feature of Reddit is very harmful to discussion because it silences people with unpopular opinions.

By which he means his opinions. He regularly says some pretty contentious stuff which regularly gets voted down *very* heavily. They have rationalized it in their minds as some kind of hacktivism rather than the more pragmatic interpretation that people just don't like what he's writing. The paranoia is palpable and the latest steps are just more signs of the bunker mentality that's setting in.

Precisely. I thought most people here switched to Finex after the Stamp hack as surely as they switched to Stamp after the first cracks started to show at Gox half a year before their demise.

I usually go by Finex but truthfully, it rarely makes much difference and in the rare occasion it might, it's hardly a big deal to clear up any confusion.

Anyone who is in a position of power on another forum fancy having ChartBuddy post there? I'm about done with Theymos' nonsense.

What happened?

More shit and shenanigans over on Reddit.

A tip.
If you use too many different font colors and sizes, then your post gets kind of retarded. It's like written by a 8 year old boy, who just discovered these functions of changing font color and size, so he eagerly uses this function everywhere.
One should only use these functions rarely, when there truly is something to emphasize.

This would never work.  They'd just go and spam a bunch of seemingly well-meaning posts elsewhere on this board to get their activity count up to the requirement.  Then they'd come to Speculation sub-forum and start trolling.  In fact, that's what several of them do today, to fake looking legit.

No doubt. But that is extra steps at least. At the moment, there is 0 effort required. Plus they may end up reported elsewhere before they even post here.
2374  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: December 07, 2015, 03:26:39 PM

Worth a watch for any bitcoin investor. My impression was that they all want bigger blocks, but feel that BIP101 is too aggressive.

The cynical might say that the feel that BIP101 is a bit too "ready to deploy right now" and that they'd rather continue stringing everyone along.
2375  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: December 07, 2015, 03:19:01 PM

What the forum needs is the option to restrict posting in moderated topics to an activity level set by the topic starter. This would at least require spam accounts to build up activity first and thus make the ignore button meaningful.

I wonder if Adam would be agreeable to a script that would auto-delete posts from users below a certain post count...

Restricted space => creates fee competition => dust will become non-economically viable to move around.

Restricted space => fee competition
More adoption+fee competition => expensive fees
Expensive fees => stalled adoption
Stalled adoption => declining interest
Declining interest => what are we even trying to do here?

This, however, is not a description of how bitcoin will fail but how bigger blocks are inevitable.

I suggest you go back and reread what Jorge wrote also. He describes well how the block size limit encourages attacks on Bitcoin

Also, it is not on developers to be setting up fee markets. It should be the realm of, well, the market.
2380  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: December 05, 2015, 05:20:27 PM

Saturation from dust, spam, worthless micro-txs, faucets, dice, "stress tests", scripts that are purposefully wasting space in the blockchain for minimal fees, etc = nobody should even bother.


If you want to block these things, block them with policy. Not by artificially limiting everybody. IMO, not enough has been done to encourage fine-grain control over transactions which are included in a block. It should almost have its own mini-scripting language IMO.

Saturation from legit txs should get a bump to accommodate for new capacity.

This is a fair statement.
