I got my set and can confirm they are of proper material to be an actual tool to accomplish their job.. Not some flimsy crap that will bend out of shape..

Thanks for the set TECSHARE

I was around for the lowest of the lows and slow steady downtrend from the gox bubble. It looked like BTC was dieing dropping under $200 and then forever riding that 200-300 bottom level.. Things did not look good.. I even had a bit of coin at that huge crash..

It looked like the end of bitcoin...

I sold over half of what I had accumulated when it came back up around $300 to fund a project I had, and I was really broke then..
But I held on to a good enough chunk to do it all over again, build my coinage up..

This time I was able to build up about 3X as much BTC but I'll admit I sold about 1/4 of my crypto just under $10k when it wasn't looking like it as going to breach the barrier..

I regret that a bit but I did great things with that money for my family for Xmas..
If it goes to $100k then oh well I made a poor choice..

I have studied the BTC all chart on coindesk many many time and scene the same patterns over and over in it.. I wasn't around when it was $30 but I get the idea..

As far as not buying more coin when I could.. Well, I never really could..
Until quite recently I haven't been in a position where I could put money into BTC.. It's pretty poor around here with a terrible economy..
I never bought any BTC but worked my tail off to make all my BTC.. Now what I've made is actually worth something..

You know if I simply had 10X as much BTC I might really be able to look at my life and decide how I wanted to use that money.. I could be free of the rat race for years on that.. But what I have now, eh, yeah it's a decent chink of change but not life altering really..

Deep down inside I knew this would happen.. I knew those patterns on that all chart would repeat themselves again, but I knew it in a kind of way that kept me going, working for more, but not in a way where I would put what little money I had into buying coin..

If I would have bought coin all I could maybe I would be pretty well off now, but it just wasn't justified and things are what they are..

I feel pretty grateful to bitcoin for what I do have really..

Always chasing that almighty BTC

LOL, they think they will be able to name the price of bitcoin so easily!!!

Watch them get REKT

Bitcoins price finding mechanism is widely distributed, as with most things bitcoin, and one fiat traded options exchange isn't going to change that..

No, if futures collapse, they will get squeezed hard..

Third they are talking like it's a sure planned thing..

Guy is pretty much saying "eherm eherm, bitcoin is winning against gold so we are going to attack its price through fiat settled futures and pump gold back up to where it was"..

Maybe try hypnosis?

Seriously..

With that many.. How is it that you just now remembered this fortune in the closet?
Insane..

If true.. God I hope I get lucky like some people some day..

So not trust you with more than your account is worth check..

"XBT futures are cash-settled contracts based on the Gemini's auction price for bitcoin, denominated in U.S. dollars. Gemini Trust Company, LLC "

WTF are gemini auction prices?
Auction?


https://gemini.com/auction-data/

Holy crap!!

They are just for a couple BTC and someone with a bit of $$ could so easily bid that up to squeeze cboe shorters!!

Thanks..

Yeah.. Sad news actually..

It was compromised through github somehow, no one lost anything yet but you should move all of your assets to a new address, your seed may be compromised..

Webwallets, hackers, you know the drill..

Get on telegram to find out more..

Congrats for keeping your composure so well OP, if I were a scammer and Bruno started posting on my thread I'd be shitting bricks..

When I did the heft of my altcoin trading as a rule alts generlly trended down, it's actually occured to me how different trading on an up trending market is..

In downtrending with no margin basically you are trying to flip the dead cat bounces along the way..

Also sniff out the hype around this and that.. Could find something about to go up..

I'll get right on that..
Interesting, I might like this new feature..

Edit: I'm not seeing anything about this locking old accounts stuff...

Right about the "insane amount of resources" part..

You are also right in a way about the ranking but just because of the current war with beecoin..

I understand this problem is something to be upset about but a lot of the suggestions here are bigger government, authoritarian, and freedom limiting..
I just hate to see people always looking to big brother to solve their problems..

First off pretty much all of your suggestions will require more staff for you account vetting and buy in stuff.. That also puts a lot of power in that vetting persons hands. More centralized power is, well, not very concurrent with the ideals of Bitcoin..    
These suggestions are also freedom limiting in that none of this would give anyone any MORE freedom but rather take little pieces of it away in hopefully the right spots.. Their is nothing wrong with some limits on freedom when it comes to affecting other people around you, such as this situation, but in general increasing limits on freedom is not a good trend direction to be heading..
I know this is a company but what kind of examples do we want to set?    
                                  
And about this "company"..
Sure it is probably technically a company legaly or whatever but is this place run like a company or run like a community?
Do we have shareholders or an owner that really cares all that much about what it is ultimately worth? I don't think so..
I see said often, maybe even by theymos iirc, that bitcointalk doesn't really need donation money and fee money and all that sort, so they don't seem too money hungry to me..
About google SEO and ad money and stuff.. I don't see any ads around here do you? Where?
Theymos auctions off a little banner sometimes in this community and usually gets bought by someone in this community.. I doubt he much cares about the little coin it brings TBH..
Bitcointalk dsoesn't need more taxes, fees, value, adsense ranking, notta..
Bitcointalk comes from a "position of fuck you", doesn't need any more money.. They hodl..

Now I'm not criticizing anyone intentions here because this is a problem worth working on but many peoples initial reactions are to just ban this ban that make more laws hire more people, centralize more power, ugh.. You should understand.. What would you say if you heard stuff like that coming out of ted cruz or our new SCOTUS judge?
If you are truly a leftist and don't care about this freedom and liberty stuff then one.. What the heck are you in Bitcoin for? "Profits"? Two, well then, we disagree on things..


So, as I earlier suggested, this problem could be alleviated greatly in a way that centralize no more power, does not increase the size of the governorship, creates no more positions to waste resources through the friction of buerocracy, creates and needs no more taxes or fees, AND actually increases the freedom of the people!

Just create one more forum section, the "No Signature space", where signatures don't display (campaign managers can sort out the posts paid), and anyone and everyone that want to have a legit conversation free from the ravages of sig spam can simply use their freedom to post in this section if they do so desire..


Some things I don't like specifically about a few suggestions..
Now you want me to fork out like $100 in BTC to keep my account nice and have a signature? Really? I don't get paid for my signature, its there because I want to see them succeed.. I have tried the signature thing in the past and found that it wasn't for me.. I don't like to post according to someones rules.. I like to post whatever the heck I want, sometimes 1 liners, sometimes I like to blast out a page.. Don't care about any post quality calculation..
Also I don't like the deleating old threads ideas.. Shutting down ctive spam topics by all means hit em, but leave history stand imo..

Well, their's a morning rant for you guys.. I might be a bit out of place because I'm not as high and mighty as a lot of you so take it for what you will..

Edit: also, this way would also not "affect traffic" and seo etc whatever stuff if you care about those things..
BTW I think screw what anyone outside of bitcoin talk thinks, rnkings, seo, nonsense.. Remember that "position of FU"

Just create 1 anything goes section on the forum where it is coded not to show signatures..

Then you can see where the free market flows and go from there, if it is popular, it could then be subdivided into more specific sections..


It could give real important and intelligent conversations a safe haven from being steamrolled by shitposts..  

Well no one should, even for a lot of dollars.. So don't expose yourself to such risk..
It's just about proper handling of privkeys no?
Is their some kyc?

So then you would have had to have had the keys to 2 btc or more in order to have enough btx to get a btx continuing airdrop?
Or buy more btx to add to your address in order to have 1 btx on your address to be elgible but then again it has to be considered incative to recieve the remaining airdrops?


So if a guy has keys to less than 2 btc at snapshot what is he to do and what are his options?

So if a guy has keys to more than 2 btc on seperate addresses at snapshot what is he to do and what are his options?

So if a guy has keys to more than 2 btc on a single address at snapshot what is he to do and what are his options?

I thought I heard everyone was going to switch to eth from btc because btc had this problem..
