If you want to reply to BTCDrak, you should probably do it in the same forum he posted in. I don't know if he will read your response here.
I don't. I was addressing a comment that was posted in this forum. Neither when I get into a discussion about the Affordable Care Act, do I get on the phone to Obama. |

...yet his article totally avoids discussion of the other crap he tried to sneak into XT. Were XT limited to the block size change ( his '...single number...' claim - riiiight), I would be running it. It may not be the best approach to the block size, but it's a damned sight better than 1 MB forever (or even 1 MB now). But with the other crap changes? No thanks.
So you're running the version he released with only the BIP101 patch and none of the other XT stuff included then, right? (This is what I am running) |

"Lost" Bitcoin XT was around well before BIP-101 and, those that found it useful (of whom I am not one, FWIW) will no doubt continue to use some incarnation of it, whatever happens. Meanwhile, BIP-101 is out there and has forced the issue of actually addressing the blocksize instead of hoping nobody notices that we're heading toward a brick wall and the guy who runs the repair shop has not been servicing the brakes. As a bonus, the idea that the core developers maybe should not be the centralized keepers of the keys to the kingdom has been brought into the consciousness. Before you declare "won" or "lost" be sure you know which game you're playing. |

Hey, I'm all for equal opportunities objectification: dangling milkbags and dangling nutsacks (or whatever works for the ladies).

Edit : This is not ChartBuddy, the user "betterangels" is either joking or trolling, and whatever the reason is, I don't see it funny (no offense).
Note that ChartBuddy puts a timestamp in the image so it's easy to check (it could still be faked but it would be more effort) |

Westboro Baptist Church, Scientology, the KKK. Ya, I'm pretty sure I know who's on the right side of history here. Should they darn their own socks, too?
Socks? A bourgeois concept. Join the barefoot proletariat, brother. |

For an organization that's supposed to be anti-capitalist, those masks sure are expensive. |

Could this be Bitcoin's last gasp?
If Bitcoin surges to say 100 billion due to chines capital controls, and then China starts beheading bitcoin holders.... wouldn't that be the end of bitcoin at least in our lifetimes?
If they're using brainwallets? Bullish. |

Maybe you could start your own Blockchain-project to [...] help sort out that voting machine worries you've had.
That would be cool to see. I am not sure that the blockchain solves the problems that Jorge has raised (and I mostly agree with) though. |

I've seen many apologists for those ghost cities and people trying to rationalize it as a good thing or "not all that bad really" but the truth is, all that misallocation of resources is a definite sign of an economy that is not especially healthy. |

For those of you having trouble with excessive memory consumption with bitcoind, the cause and a workaround has been discovered. Run export MALLOC_ARENA_MAX=1
in your shell before starting bitcoind. The problem appears to be that glibc's malloc function will use something like [number of cores] heap allocation arenas by default, and with the small amount of fragmentation caused by CreateNewBlock's allocation pattern, will end up using [number of cores] times the mempool size of total unused memory due to this fragmentation. Sweet. Hopefully this will help the bitcoind that I have running on a Raspberry Pi which brings down the whole thing when it's started for the last few weeks too. |

Well if you are saying "bears" as to relation to Tarmi, he's probably filling for divorce, avoiding his credit card bills, and crying hysterically while furiously beating off to asian porn...
Pffft, who isn't? |

Where's all the bears? Come on, Bitcoin has crashed six dollars in the last 5 hours....

Someone dumped Gemini down to $261.
"Oops"? |

lol, look at this awkwardly forced push down. poor bears  That's not a bear, it's a bull who hasn't finished loading up at the price he wants to pay. |

Ethereum isn't going replace Bitcoin. It's a platform for a new way of approaching the internet. It's the only alt project I see much point in.
I agree. I am not sure about them as a company and their claims seem grandiose compared to what is realistically achievable but it's an interesting concept they're working with. |

Most their funding is in Bitcoin. Bitcoin's up.
I think they sold a large chunk of it. I recall some kind of fuss at the time. |
