Announced? Not that I can see. Article is bereft of supporting evidence.

Has been talking about needing to work for another two quarters beyond his desired retirement date if his stock price doesn't rebound before end of FY19.

Learned a valuable lesson long ago. Having a lot of stock in the company for which you work is putting too many eggs in one basket. Double jeopardy.

Of course if you're bound by golden handcuffs...









As opposed to the leather covered ones, of course.

Rick: "How much BTC should I buy ?"
Me: "Ten"
Rick: "Honey, that's sixty-five thousand doll-hairs !"
Me: (raising a curious eyebrow, knowing that's "play-money" to Rick) "Fine. Buy one then."
Rick: "How about three ?"
Me: "Fine. Whatever."

I don't understand the guy lately.

People are strange.

Bah.


You've got 65 grand in fiat? Geez, that's a lot.

Most of my cash is in Bitcoin.

I think I heard that Rick was late to the party.

Exist scam?  Not my buddy Rene Descartes?!  

He must have had help in this exist scam. Perhaps it was coordinated at some point behind the scenes. I think so, at least.

1195 nodes out of 2027 are currently running Bitcoin ABC, making it by far and away the most popular client.

Yes, ABC with the first Bitcoin Cash client. Indeed, for the most critical period in the Bitcoin Cash history (other than the genesis block, of course), ABC was the only available client. As such, it enjoys incumbency status.

We'll see what happens by mid-November.

For those of you who don’t venture into Meta, they currently have a poll running - Most entertaining person on btctalk - 3 votes per user - Some of you guys are listed as options!

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5008800.0

Hmm. Seems redundant.

I guess not everyone awards merit based upon entertainment value?
2687  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: September 05, 2018, 07:04:40 PM
Bitmain has never sold a single BCH they have mined. This has artificially supported the price of BCH which has close to zero  organic demand. They have sold their BTC to pay the electricity bills.

haha. "artificially". Great narrative, that.

ABC is Bcash !!  Cheesy  are you new here?

Facepalm.

BitcoinABC is but one of many clients for accessing the Bitcoin Cash blockchain.

Are you new here? Huh

Roger Ver, and Craig Wright should be thrown out.

So you advocate a permissioned, censorable Bitcoin? Interesting. In some morbid sort of way.

No I advocate that scammers who are acting as "leaders" should be thrown out of any community.

Now you are spotting crazy talk, too. It is impossible to 'throw somebody out' of a permissionless, uncensorable system. Impossible.

I guess my point of confusion was unclear. Allow me to be very specific: What do you mean by "put Bitcoin Cash in the save zone"?


You have several points of confusion. But lets clear this one up: Obviously he meant "safe zone."

How do you expect anybody to take you seriously if you actually believe Bitcoin Craig is Satoshi?

Now I know why you don't like Theymos. He has the things you crave the most, yet are sorely lacking: control and influence.

Nope. Still nonsensical. Every last bit, in fact.
2691  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BitPico throwing down against Roger Ver on: September 01, 2018, 04:38:33 AM
is anyone watching the BCH "stress test"?
it is supposed to start in 8 hours but it seems like they started it about 10+ hours ago with some spams which could produce 1 ~8 MB blocks as far as i can tell, interestingly nothing higher since BCH has 32 MB blocks.
interested to see some analysis of this process, also if anyone knows any source that can show you block propagation and verification times.

which inserts dire new security vulnerabilities.

All the usual places. Here's one: https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/cash/#24h

i am curious to know about these new "vulnerabilities". would you mind listing them while explaining why has there not been any exploits in past 1 year?

If you are unaware of them, you just have not been paying attention. Though I rather suspect you are just boorishly making a rhetorical opening.

For one, the ability of the miners to revert to the old definition of a segwit tx as its original (some would say true) definition as an anyonecanspend tx. This ability of miners to claim what some think as funds that many erroneously believe to be sent to specific parties as funds that the miners can pocket themselves was newly introduced into Bitcoin by the ill-considered so-called 'soft fork' employed for activation of The SegWit Omnibus Changeset. No matter what some arbitrarily-large cabal of miners were able to do previously, they were utterly unable to claim coins of others to themselves. This power is the direct and sole result of the segwit soft fork.

And no. Lack of capitalization upon a security vulnerability does not invalidate the vulnerability.

ok, try to convince you with the next consideration:

Satoshi left and was so mental strong to leave his baby in the arms of others.

CSW is so mental weak he can't step back to put Bitcoin Cash (which he claims is the original Bitcoin version) in the save zone again to avoid a HF.

conclusion: different persons with different personalities

I don't have a dog in this hunt. I'm not even sure the outcome means anything.

I must admit some puzzlement, however, as to what you mean by "put Bitcoin Cash in the save zone". Care to elucidate?

The "outcome"? There is no outcome yet to be determined. Bitcoin Craig failed to provide actual proof he was Satoshi, then wormed his way out of his claim by issuing a half-apology. What he definitely is, however, is one of the biggest egomaniacs bitcoin has ever seen. Now he's hellbent on breaking Bitcoin Cash apparently. If he actually cared about anything other than himself, he would simply shut up for a bit. There's your elucidation.

I really don't give a damn about your opinion of CSW.

Imagine holding coins on a chain that will no longer sync with the 'main' network i.e. that you can no longer spend, because technically they no longer 'exist'.

WTF? I know you've been around the block a few times, but you're spouting crazy talk anyhow.

As long as you possess the private key, you can freely transfer whatever coins are bound to that address. You may need to import said keys to another client that supports the chain you are desiring to use, but it is certainly within your power to spend any and all coins to which you own the keys.

Also, Theymos locked the satoshi account. Theymos would need undeniable proof to allow anyone to sign in. This is good, since Bitcointalk was hacked back in 2015, and I believe the e-mails and passwords were compromised along with much more personal data.

I don't really see how having an anointed gatekeeper for thought leadership on who may or may not be satoshi is goodness. Be it Theymos or anyone else.
2697  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BitPico throwing down against Roger Ver on: August 31, 2018, 11:08:53 PM
Upon further research, turns out that there is actual discrepancies between Roger Ver and Craig Stephen Wright.

So much for that Corean 'buhbut BCH is centralized' canard.

I enjoy the civil war in camp bCash, the mud fight is very amusing.

I find it quite amusing as well. Even though a significant portion of my wealth hangs in the balance. Gallows humor?

Ah, well. It will be settled in the fashion of Bitcoin:
"They vote with their CPU proof-of-worker, expressing their acceptance of valid blocks by working on extending them and rejecting invalid blocks by refusing to work on them. Any needed rules and incentives can be enforced with this consensus mechanism."
