Ok I get it. Last year all of the banks and governments were like...hmm, blockchain's not bad (quick, create a blockchain to compete with Bitcoin).
This year their IT folks finally came back and told them...umm, blockchains are decentralized. You already have a centralized blockchain...it's called a database.
And so...Bitcoin and blockchain are evil again.
Elwar you are forgetting the latest magic stuff in this field: Distributed Ledger Technologies or DLT. I simply think that we came back to where we started: banksters thought "blockchain" R&D could have dodged fuel from Bitcoin but they haven't understood that Bitcoin is one of a kind. They can't stop it and now they are so afraid. It seems all so 2014 for me: bans, warnings etc. I don't care, I hold onto my keys

Earlier on Tuesday, at different conferences around New York, JPMorgan Chase chief executive Jamie Dimon took aim at bitcoin, calling the cryptocurrency “a fraud” and “worse than tulip bulbs.” This skepticism by one of Wall Street’s titans, and its reflection in many offices and hallways in top financial services companies, is perhaps one of the strongest cases for bitcoin’s lasting importance. Let’s be clear, Dimon’s firm is one of the chief architects of the global financial crisis that led to the interest in a somewhat arcane cryptocurrency in the first place. There would be no bitcoin without Jamie Dimon — and in some ways he’s right to fear its rise.

It's a bit annoying having to withdraw BCH in batches. I had to make several withdrawal requests to withdraw 80% of my coins. I don't get why it needs to be like this. Users should be allowed to withdraw what is technically possible with the hot wallet and this does not mean placing three different withdrawals guessing the maximum amount that is allowed.
Edit: after several attempts (in two days) I did it.

Those are all the Coinbase, Gemini and Coindesk employees Good then, the majority of Bitcoin users in the US do not file tax report on Bitcoin. Why should they right now? 802 is a very small number considering how many people use bitcoin. Now I get why they want users' data from exchanges. And for this reason we need good DEX soon.

Apparently you joined this forum to vomit accusations against other users. Please post proof regarding your statement otherwise you'll not be heard by the forum community. I think you applied for Nexchange signature campaign and got your application rejected. Now you opened a new forum account to spam about it. Come on kid, wake up

I agree that there's no need to spend time upgrading the distribution for Segwit addresses at the moment. BTC linking should be already over to enhance a better byteball distribution among current byteball holders. The Bitcoin linking has been a great start for this project but as of now there's no need for it anymore. I mean, come on, hear people only complain about what has been a FREE airdrop. Go find ICOs around if you wish

It took a while but eventually some important institutions are understanding the real beauty of the bitcoin project. I think an increasing number of institutions are on the same page as the Fin Central Bank: simply they can’t admit it. It’s hard for them to get how Bitcoin keeps functioning 24hrs a day, 7 days a week without major problems

I got many DMD around 35K satoshis: I sold them for other reasons and stopped staking. Also forgot about DMD back then. Coming back to this topic and looking at the chart I'm seeing the opportunity I missed. I will watch the chart and follow DMD development to see whether it'll be good to come on board once more or not.

Noobish question but how does the exchange bot work? Say I want to buy some gbyte with bitcoin. How do i 'deposit' my bitcoin into the bot? I'm not used to decentralised exchanges and would like to understand more
Well I took the plunge and put an order using the exchange bot (byte-BTC). I'd like to know a bit more about the inner workings, if anyone can provide a link or something would appreciate. In any case, to use is quite simple you put in a buy order and then it gives you a bitcoin address to fund. I assume it is trustworthy? Once that receives two confirmations your order is added to the book. I'm not sure why there is a limit of 0.2 BTC ? Sometimes might be nice to go higher than that. There doesn't appear to be much volume or liquidity to speak of but hopefully that might improve in time. In general I think bytecoin could do with being available on a few bigger exchanges, are there any plans in that regard? You probably meant Byteball There's no rush to go on bigger exchanges IMHO, once we get there (maybe when the distribution phase is over) this project might establish on the top 10 for good. By all means it's better to get there with all coins distributed so that the market can start playing the game. However, so far it seems to me that in terms of APPS/BOT/AI byteball is way before the competition.

A notice to people using Bitcoin for illicit purposes: you can run, but it’s getting a lot harder to hide. Law enforcement officials are using Bitcoin’s public ledger, called the blockchain, to follow the digital money and track down suspected criminals using it. As the most popular cryptocurrency, Bitcoin has helped fuel the rise of ransomware attacks—extortion schemes, like the recent WannaCry cyberattack, in which hackers hold the contents of a victim’s computer hostage until they get paid. Criminals can use Bitcoin to collect ransoms easily and without having to reveal their identities. The currency has also been associated with online drug sales, money laundering, and sex trafficking.

It looks like a good exchange. As you already mentioned the competition is tough (shapeshift and changelly) but if you start offering a good and reliable service you should acquire more than 1% of the market share. Anyway, for the time being, before trying it, I would suggest you add byteball to your platform. Good luck

Price moving again. Hopefully to its way up. Got all my GBB and used them for the first time. They are pretty cool

Price will go up again: so many copycat coins have a bigger market cap compared to byteball. In the end only the best projects will prevail (and survive). Byteball is one of them IMHO

It's seems like China banned bitcoin, again. I bought more. and still hold

I still cannot login. It's say This site can’t be reached safedice.com refused to connect.Can you fix please? Site is back up. Login works as well as the dice game. Let's hope SD fixed the latest issues for good. I see the house edge on BCH is 0.9% Was this planned as a "safe" start? Will you lower it to your distinguishing house edge 0.5%?
SD can you give an answer on that question please? thx There was a DDOS attack on the site last weekend, but it was stopped very quickly. The site has been running fine ever since then =) Yes that's what I replied. Anyway, why ahve you quoted my post without asking the HE question? I'm still waiting for an answer from SD

Not so bold if you start with $300 million and given these claims you'll receive another double.

Byteball price after the airdrop is hovering around 0.071 People will buy in again?

Got my shares of GBYTE and GBBYTE! Looking forward to November. I don't think we will see this price again Thanks tonych and everybody who's contributing here

Someone is hemorrhaging a lot of bitcoin to make that happen. Depending on the will and the depth of their pockets it is certainly possible there will be another attempt to push BCH to 0.2 but it would be very expensive.
Why assume it's a couple of sinister puppeteers when it's just as much your bog standard alt pumpers? It's probably both. But the price charts of BCH/BTC look to me like someone is controlling the price. Compare for example the BCH/BTC chart at Bitmain's exchange ViaBTC against any coin the floats freely against BTC like Litecoin or ETH. Notice the lack of variability in the BCH/BTC charts especially the lack of spikes down compared to the number of brief recurring spikes up. https://www.viabtc.com/quot/realtime?currency=btc&dest=bcc&chart=simpleGiven the volumes involved if the price is being supported it would take big pockets to do so. There are a couple of folks on record with the ideological and financial interests to do something like that. Just my 2 cents on the market I have no definitive proof. I think your two cents are damn right. @all the BTCgold lovers : can someone please explain why it is going to be free money? I see the magic word ICO on their forum
