Is the price doubling this year not good enough for you? And that despite the air of pervasive doom that's not really doom? Tough crowd.

In any other area people would be creaming their knickers.

There's a lot of valuable data on there which I presume wasn't handed it over with the expectation of it winding up in the hands of fuckwits. This doesn't bode all too well for their bright shiny future.

Anyone know whether our special friend operates on Australian time no matter where he is?

It's 2020 in Sydney now. That means he should've revealed bitcoin's 'fatal flaw' by now and he might already be giving the 'bonded courier' a cuppa after such a long journey.

So bitcoin should already not exist, and he should be dumping 1 million non existent coins any second.

Oh and monero and zcash should be broken too.

Busy 24 hours for him.

It's his 'seduction room'.

The first urinal is filled with champagne. The second chocolate. The third edible panties. The fourth condoms (but he complains they're too tight so conveniently takes them off).

Pray that you never find yourself there.

It's the past. It's dead. Who gives a shit?

What is interesting about 2019 is the first glimmers of issues that will become much more important in future.

My vote for that goes to exchanges getting weird about mixed coin as demonstrated by Binance and Wasabi and services like Bakkt and the possibility for rehypothecation that's just beginning but might turn rampant.

 In the context of this forum I became an ever more towering figure of wisdom and authority that goes far beyond anything the world has ever seen before. And I breached the 1000 earned merit barrier which is the only stat worth paying attention to really.

As for anything else I can't remember but I'm sure it was fine.

That account has long acted like several different people are using it.

One moment he's running his little fingers up and down his shaft at the prospect of BCH, a project with massive centralisation that has been 51 percented, and on the same day he's urging Bitcoin miners to change algorithm to save decentralisation.

Make up yer fuggin mind.

I can see why someone who's been around for so long will have gone mad, most seem to eventually, but I would expect him to be disenchanted by the tsunami of shit created rather than moaning about them not being taken seriously. There's still hardly anything that expresses the slightest interest in repeating BTC's principles.

This is another interesting perspective. There must be people here who feel obligated or compelled to be here rather than finding it fun any more. Either they need to earn or it's simply become a habit they can't break.

It's breezed through 10 grand loads of times. It's clearly no barrier. Getting general enthusiasm back is and I don't see it happening next month. More of the same is my guess.

Most people are using the crypto space to increase their position in the fiat system. That's a very different proposition and coming across all of these regulations is an inevitable outcome of that.

Only small numbers are looking to truly bypass it but it will be faction that slowly grows. Could take a good while but it will happen until it's a significant size.

Looks like a wank rag but he values it so much he squirts into the pot instead.

I'd be very honoured if I were Bob.

Even if you're nefarious you're still more than likely looking for the path of least resistance. Soon enough you won't be able to move any privacy coin to any big arse exchange.

There's P2P of course but by that stage P2P buyers might be running your BTC through their taint checker app and telling you to bog off.

I think it's good to give a heads up. There are people who might be great for it who otherwise wouldn't notice in time. I would however lock it until I took applications.

I find this an extremely exciting post.

I have absolutely no idea of what one single word of it actually means but I was on the edge of my seat throughout.



Bare breasts and knives in a cordoned off quarry.

This is what I'm curious about. And I wonder how many people are well and truly dependent on it. If your alternative was selling cans of coke in a slum then why wouldn't you be?

I've seen sig campaign participants saying they pay their rent and all their bills with what they earn. That's pretty alarming. I've been in campaigns that have vanished with zero warning and sometimes pickings elsewhere are extremely slim.

What would all these people do without such handbaggings?

It probably burns enough calories to keep McMurdo Station heated for the entire winter.

I don't understand why they bother but as long as they keep it to obscure corners of this forum I hope it gives them the sustenance they seek.

If I were running an exchange I would do my very best to hang back on this unless unequivocally forced to. In the meantime I would observe what happened to the exchanges that embraced and ran towards it.

I can't see a workable outcome if they go much beyond immediate level, though no doubt they'll try, and if their terms are clear enough immediate level stuff is acceptable. I remember a bloke getting booted from Coinmama for a gambling transaction several txs down the line.

I would've thought not too far off everything has something questionable somewhere once you look hard enough.

Why do most dark markets still run on BTC when many of them have a Monero option? Because people are lazy and it's more convenient despite the constant risk of it coming back to bite them.

It's far too Miss World to name names. Each and every one of you will be at the receiving end of my very personal attention some dark day.

I would like to throw kudos at the moderators of each section and many a campaign manager too. I have no real conception of what madness is swilling under the surface here but I can imagine it's a hurricane down there and this place would be intolerable without their attention.

Perhaps along the lines of Proof of Keys one day a year should be totally hands off here to show us what true horror looks like.

People are free to do what they want but it's deffo not something that should be endorsed with an actual section devoted to it.

I'm all for threads that ask people to highlight deserving posts that would otherwise go unnoticed. Anything scattershot is a bit gross and a dead end that's detrimental to the quality of the forum.

The Hhampuz thread is a bit different to that in that it's making users think and they're coming up with some good thoughts along the way.
