New BCH roadmap:  Not that I agree. And the irony of meriting you is not beyond my ken. But hell - it was chuckle-worthy. Merited. |

..... NOT good for my sense of manliness.  well you could always just cash out a couple of BTC or so and go buy yourself a nice new shiny manly looking pick-up truck. Problem solved. (as long as you don't have a tiny penis) My claim is that I have an average-sized penis. My balls, OTOH, are made of steel. |

We need BIGGER price moves for my orders to trigger, whether buying or selling...
Still harvesting the volatility at a $125 increment. #justsayin' |

Yeah... thing is, the full-size van form factor just works for me. If someone made a van with interior trim up to luxury car standards, this woulda been a done deal already. Alas, no. So my decision is to abandon the form factor I desire and get a pickup, or settle for the comparatively downmarket experience of a van. Either seems a compromise, which makes me need to consider other platforms*. Which leads to indecision. ::sigh::
*i.e., maybe Tesla X?
Oh well, the wife is the car guy in this family, anyhoo.
I don't mean to beat a dead horse, but I cannot resist to say that I am not going to let you get away with this delegation to the wife thingie... You misunderstand me. The wife has a Corvette and a Camaro. I like my van better. By the way, the Tesla X is a kind of SUV that differs from vans, and there are quite a few other models of cars on the market that are similar to the TeslaX - excepting that the electric nature of the TeslaX is surely an interesting experiment that is still ahead of its electrical charging infrastructure support.
Agreed. The X would be a deviation to a more conventional carlike platform, in that the interior is quite sedan-y. Only in the running if deviation from van is called for. Anyhow, I was thinking that there are some features of 20 year old vans that are not quite present in variations of modern SUVs, which would include your mentioning of the TeslaX as a possible consideration point, including that actual ... [note deleted text - ed] vans could have the potential to have removability of seats and just the possible stand up space and roominess and customizability that some of the modern SUVs would not have - maybe even putting a bed in there or some other living room or even transportation space conveniences.
Now you're catching on. As but one example, in addition to a daily driver, it is my hunting lodge. My question here remains what is it about your particular 20-year old van that you like, besides the mere inconvenience of changing vehicles?
Bingo. If I ever figure out that the next vehicle will be a van, I'd get a new one post-haste. Probably a Quigley. But other matters have my attention ATM. |

Retirement on crypto (BTC and altcoins of many flavors) has its issues. As the price of BTC and/or your altcoins drop, you get depressed and spend your crypto hash like a drunken sailor.
On the other hand, the price of your crypto of any flavor goes up and you are happy and also spend money like a drunken sailor
I might suggest that your experience is unique to yourself. |

Funny thing here is, nobody in the bitcoin community believed this freak for a second
Yet you name Gavin, Roger, and Jihan... all three being central figures in the Bitcoin story, from long before the split. Gavin, Roger, Wu... And those people are retards. They were retards back in the day in 2015, 2014, 2011... and they are still retards.
Must hurt - the fact that at least two -- and maybe all -- of these three retards could each buy you a thousand times over, hunh? (subtext: who's the retard?) |

https://twitter.com/Crypto_Bitlord/status/1035128919270125569Got an offer to sell this account for 657 BTC and I just couldn’t refuse, not in this bear market. The person seems to be coming after big accounts. I’m the 5th to sell up now. Handing over the keys to new owner next week and will announce fresh handle 👍  If anyone is interested, I'll sell my BTCtalk account for a pastrami on rye. Hmm. Does it have to include your WO workload? |

An excellent resource. just to be clear the real bitcoin is BTC not BCH . ATM, I guess. The future? Perhaps not. |
|
|
|
So they will be 3 BCH ?
Bitcoin Cobra, Bitcoin SV & Bitcoin Cash ?
And Bitcoin Unlimited's approach, which will implement whichever features of the above that accrue mining majority. At least, if I am still up to speed in this fast-moving area. *such excitement!* |

Thanks for the linkdump. I'd seen most, but not all of these. |

2. BTG, BCash, BTD and other BTC forks are useless shit because main development is only in BTC codebase.
You are misinformed. I cannot speak for the others, as I do not care enough to look. However, Bitcoin Cash development is healthy, and progressing on quite a few independent fronts. |

If Segwit as a soft fork, to kill AsicBoost was desired by the Bitcoin Cash's economic majority, would Bitmain and Jihan Wu respect it and activate it immediately?
It is -- I will just state it -- stupid to ask me this question. Ask Jihan. He is the only one that can accurately answer this question. But again, your rhetorical is ludicrous. BCH's desirability is predicated upon the fact that it does not contain the segwit virus -- especially as enacted through the so-called 'soft fork' trojan horse mechanism, which inserts dire new security vulnerabilities. I believe the number of non-mining nodes supporting their own form of a UASF would matter.
You are delusional. I have demonstrated over and over again that the count of non-mining validators is a powerless metric in regards to Bitcoin consensus. Plus what would constitute as the economic majority in the network if no one ran nodes except the miners?
Are you just stupid? The economic majority would constitute the economic majority. A count of non-mining validators has fuck-all to do with a measure of the economic majority.You seem incapable of absorbing new information that conflicts with your internal dogma. This discussion is accomplishing nothing. With that, I am done with this inane circular waste of time. |

What about the Mercedes V class vans?
Hmm. Wasn't aware of it. Initial impression: looks relatively incapable of off-highway use. Tag line: The spacious sedan with the star. But more investigation may be warranted. |

Aye, my lambo be a rhetorical lambo, not a literal Lambo. Hell, I drive a 20 year old full-size van. Then again, my rhetorical lambo cost quite a bit more than a literal Lambo.
Hopefully, you are not driving one of those windowless vans... hahahahahaha Twenty years is really getting up their with vehicles, and I really got spoiled with built in bluetooth, and some of the other improvements of modern vehicles - including ride quality. It's on my to-do list. Just not very high. Actually, I was never much of a new car person, until about 8 years ago. I had never really liked the immediate depreciation aspect. ...I decided to go with new, and also to go with a kind of luxury brand. The transition was really nice, and soon after taking the plunge, I was wondering why it had taken me so long to treat myself to something really nice Yeah... thing is, the full-size van form factor just works for me. If someone made a van with interior trim up to luxury car standards, this woulda been a done deal already. Alas, no.

I try to get ahead by trading cheap city dollars for cheap jungle time. Money comes easily here but time is always short. Down there there's lots of time but little money. When I go down I take money. When I come back I'm re-energized by the time I bought down there. That's what traders have always done, transport commodities to where there's more demand.
Great insight, Jimbo. |

Hopefully, you are not driving one of those windowless vans... hahahahahaha Hey, I am neither opposed to practicality or luxury; however, when we look at the lambo in my thinking it has a very narrow set of uses - and in that regard, I have not really been into two seaters - even though I suppose the sunday drive at the beach would be one of those uses or the sheer power or the ability to flaunt wealth because I would not believe they hold value well and are kind of a money pit for maintenance and repair expenses.

And what has proven is that holding the quality and support of the community is DASH, I am not so sure about BCH because this is just something ordinary and not so special.
Which of course explains why the market cap of BCH is six times that of Dash. oh yeah.... /sarc |

Another shower thought. There are two groups fighting in Bitcoin Cash about its hard fork on November 15. Jihan Wu's group, and Craig Wright's group. Would Jihan Wu's group have automatic consensus on the decision making, if they decide or do not decide, to support the "upgrade" because their nodes, which are mining nodes, are the only nodes that matter?
No. Jihan Wu is not the only miner. But it is already common knowledge that there is a cartelization or centralization in Bitcoin mining, and Jihan Wu controls the largest hash rate. Depends upon how one interprets the figures. ATM, Coingeek is the largest BCH mining pool. Jihan seems committed also to supporting the mining of BTC. If he redirected his hashpower to BCH, it may swing the balance, and may not. It may also invoke a catastrophic crash in hashpower on the BTC chain -- one that BTC may never recover from, as BTC has no ability to retarget difficulty due to step-function changes in hashpower. In the middle of Cobra's defense of Bitcoin Cash's through the user activated no fork, what would happen if Cobra's followers do not run nodes or run less than 10% of the decentralized part of the network, while Jihan Wu runs the rest comprising of the centralized part of the network?
Jihan Wu could Sybil attack their way to throw out the decentralized 10%.
Would this be an example of non-miners' number of nodes matter if they run more, jbreher?
I tire of your hypotheticals. Not only are they repetitive, but also because they contain false equivalencies, and state impossibilities. By definition, there can be no decentralized 10% opposed to a centralized 90%. We already know that Jihan Wu does not run 'the rest'. If no miners are mining your so-called 'Cobra's fork', what do you suppose will be the result?Yes it will die because they are only a small part of the network. They will be forced to follow Jihan Wu or become irrelevant. But what if Cobra's #UANF has gained the momentum like the UASF and NO2X? Wouldn't that show that non-mining node numbers also matter? No, it would not. What it would show is that the miners respect their interpretation of the desires of the economic majority. |
