Neither is Bitcoin SV which is born out right from the posts from Satoshi on this very forum.
282  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Thoughts on Hal Finney/Craig Wright being Satoshi? on: October 26, 2019, 06:01:35 AM
Hello everyone! I have some interesting thoughts to put forward about Hal Finney being Satoshi. (I don't know if they are new or not)

I would say that Craig Wright is a liar and maybe Hal Finney is the creator of Bitcoin because:

* Hal Finney died because of complications with ALS in 2014. (Bitcoin was created in 2009)
* Only a dying person has no interest in fame or money and that is why he hid is name and worked for a greater cause, to revolutionise and discourage centralised banking systems.
* Why would someone like Craig Wright try to be 100% private and then all of a sudden become public? He also only became public AFTER Hal Finney's death.
This has been discussed many times. Here's a couple articles that go over it

https://cointelegraph.com/news/who-is-satoshi-the-hal-finney-dorian-nakamoto-connection
https://medium.com/swlh/the-creator-of-bitcoin-satoshi-nakamoto-is-most-likely-this-guy-8723eddb517c

One has to ask though, did Hal put all this effort into faking emails between the two of them? Not likely IMO.

http://online.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/finneynakamotoemails.pdf

And then there's one of the writing analysis things that's been done and doesn't prove anything. Hal did not come up as high on the probability.

https://towardsdatascience.com/stylometric-analysis-satoshi-nakamoto-294926cdf995

The only thing that's clear to me based on his own actions, is that it's highly likely CW is not Satoshi.

What are the ex-owners of Cryptopia doing nowadays?

Is there any news about them? Are they on bail or just simply not charged thus free without legal condition?
The owners at the time of it going down? Or the original guy? Last I saw he's working on some stuff for some other company. Rumor was he was going to open another exchange but then of course he shut down that idea due to what happened with this one. I think he coded or had something to do with the TradeSatoshi code which I thought one could get to open up their own exchange. Could be wrong about that though.

I switched to using brave after reports emerged about google chrome not being reliable in terms of security. There have been many bugs and vulnerabilities which chrome devs strangely never got around to fixing.
Brave uses the Chromium engine just like Chrome and a few other browsers. I've been using Vivaldi for a month now and it's faster and uses less memory than Chrome. I tried Brave awhile back but at the time at least it didn't have the features I like.
285  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Opinions on XRP for long term investment (BEGINNER) on: October 25, 2019, 09:31:22 AM
I am going to invest $150 (Canadian) into some coins. My first post mentioned DigiByte, but now I'm curious about XRP upon research and considering that it's within the top 10 coins I think makes it safe. Considering that I'm a COMPLETE noob and venturing this at 18, I started with $100 but felt an extra $50 would not hurt but that's the max I'm going. I'm very well aware of the risks and know I could lose my money which is why $150 is my max because losing won't hurt me. I'm not investing to make a quick buck, I'm just extremely curious in this market.

I've been following XRP for the last week and the price value has gone up by 3.05%, I'm curious whether people wait or buy straight away while the price has gone up (considering its the 3rd ranked coin). Also wondering if this is a coin for long term investment. I still have a lot to learn before considering investment, but I do not want to wait too long in case the value goes up. I don't even know how to buy a coin... apart from that, I'm curious if anybody has more information that will be useful for my final decisions.
Stick to the long term "proven" coins like BTC, LTC, ETH, XMR. Realistically, at this point, you'd probably be better off trading even if you're only doing it over a few months.

Yeah that was awesome. On the other hand, I'm not sure what the liquidators have done to warrant that. But I certainly understand that they're the next best thing.

Why is that? I know of primecoin but don't think I ever heard of this one before.

I cant wait for the blockchain to finish downloading....I downloaded the blockchain from the site with the node adding information but the wallet hated it and wouldnt even load. So now I wait.....
Where did you find that blockchain and how big is it?

Thanks. Is there an updated list of active pools?

There is currently no pool. You can mine in the wallet like original BTC using only CPU power and actually find blocks !

Nodes are miners.
Awesome. So I just do the "setgenerate true"? I have played with it and used the "fast" cpu miner in the OP and it appears to be working. But just using the wallet would suit me fine.

It is what it is. Deal with it.
Once again you show that you're just a good little sheep that believes what you're told as opposed to thinking for yourself.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be involved in the democratic elections of U.S.A.,” said the Ukrainian leader, Volodymyr Zelensky, speaking to reporters with Mr. Trump on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

“We had, I think, a good phone call,” Mr. Zelensky added, referring to a call the leaders had on July 25, which is at the center of the inquiry. “It was normal. We spoke about many things. And so, I think, and you read it, that nobody pushed — pushed me.”[/i]

End of subject, right? But you really should go back and look at what Trump asked as "a favor." You'd like us to focus on Biden, sure, but THAT WAS THE FIFTH THING ON HIS LIST.
You seem to want to believe what he has to say when he needs to say that in order to stay in Trumps good graces and keep getting support. You need to keep up buttercup as there seems to be more and more information coming out that indicates aid was being held up as part of him making that statement. Assuming of course the statements that have been made are accurate and get some confirmation. But I'm sure you and everyone else will now turn to discrediting all those people so you can continue to support your dear leader.
294  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Plaskool Internet Lawyer Totally Ignorant About How The Law Works on: October 23, 2019, 11:15:40 AM
Their subpoenas are different. i.e. they're not the same as a legal subpoenas.

Really? Looks pretty clear to me you are saying congressional subpoenas are not legal subpoenas.

Their subpoenas are different. i.e. they're not the same as a legal subpoenas. His argument is that they don't have the "force of law". Which would be correct except they have the "force of the constitution".
Cherry picking one line is just lame on your part. It was in reference to the entire debate that had been going on and as you can see, I had more to say on it and I've cut out all the rest.

Either you don't know what you're talking about, or you have a damn hard time actually putting your arguments into any sort of coherent form which makes it very difficult to have any sort of rational debate with you.

What subpoena from an impeachment did you post that you say I had provided a site for? I provided info on an investigation into bengazi, not an impeachment.

The premise is that the subpoenas had force of law because they originated from a criminal investigation, making the comparison illegitimate. A crime is not required, but in order for a subpoena to exist, it must have the force of law including a penalty for defying it, which requires a vote in the house, or in Nixon's case a criminal investigation from which to issue the subpoena, the violation of which having legal penalty was the basis of that article of impeachment. In Trumps case there is neither a crime to base a subpoena on, nor a house vote, making them not legally even subpoenas.

I suggest you go and read some of the actual government documents etc I've previously posted. The republicans changed the rules and no vote or anything like that is required for them to open up an investigation and issue subpoenas with the "force of law" behind them as you say. I feel like you're so stuck on this that I should throw you a bone for something you could actually argue about them.

As for you claiming the court case I posted aren't valid. That's your opinion although since any discussion of the power of those subpoenas includes those cases I'd say you're wrong. But if you were right, then I guess since all the court cases the WH put in their letter have nothing to do with impeachment either, then they don't apply. Thus, their arguments and yours are invalid and they should be complying with the subpoenas.

No The White House doesn't acknowledge they are subpoenas.

"The House's failure to provide co-equal subpoena power in this case...". Complaining that Republicans haven't been given the power is an implicit admission that the other side has the power to issue subpoenas. Course that entire thing is false as well since they can, except that the committee has to vote and the majority (Democrats) could vote it down. They're only complaining that they can't issue them on their own.

As you posted yourself "without any legal basis and before the Committee even issued a subpoena---" Looks to me like they recognize them as subpoenas as they used a past tense to say that they have issued subpoenas.

And elsewhere regarding what they had received "it transmits a subpoena". Once again, they recognize them as subpoenas.

No where do they argue that they aren't valid subpoenas. They argue about "precedent". They argue that it's not in the legislative sphere. They argue that there's no due process (as I pointed out, since you think the cases I posted don't apply, then that same thing can be said about theirs). All of that stuff is just bogus and is only in there to force a court case that would draw everything out which they could then use to bolster the other argument in that letter that "impeachment" should be handled in the next election. But in that letter they didn't invoke executive privilege which I find odd. In that case, Pelosi etc know they would need to have a vote in order to strengthen they're case for their subpoenas in regards to executive privilege. Makes me think they don't actually want the vote so they can carry on using the argument to leave people with the impression he's being railroaded. Makes sense I suppose.

that is pathetic and lazy
You're such a hypocrit. I've engaged with you on the subpoena thing including digging up all sorts of governmental documents to back up my arguments and then you turned around and said you wouldn't do the same just like a true keyboard warrior who is "pathetic and lazy". You're not interested in the facts, just spreading opinion to convince the sheep to your bias.

You claimed congressional subpoenas were not legal documents
You seriously have a reading comprehension issue or only see what confirms your own bias. That's not what I've said at all.

I clearly provided an example of past congressional subpoenas and compared them to the letters requesting information they are calling "subpoenas"
Once again, you failed to "prove" anything. I showed you that what you provided was for hearings and not for investigations etc. I also showed straight from the government site that the "form" is only a sample and is meant as a guide as to what should be in the subpoena. It could be written on toilet paper but as long as it had the correct information it would be valid. For someone who claims to know "the law" you're really dense when it comes to this. I then proved proof that committees have wide ranging powers to issue their own subpoenas, which they authorize all on their own through appropriate signatures. I've also provided a link to a senate handbook that presents an subpoena in the form of a letter. The letter from the whitehouse itself acknowledge what you claim isn't a subpoena, is actually a subpoena. I guess you're right though and all that stuff straight from the government is wrong.

297  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What Happens If China Bans Bitcoin Mining? on: October 22, 2019, 10:38:51 AM
The network will temporarily lose over 75% of mining power or hash rate that comes from the region. What this means, is that for that while fewer transactions will be carried out, and the rate of creating new Bitcoins will drop significantly. Once new rigs have been formed and implemented, network activity can return to normal.
Whoever wrote that doesn't seem to know anything about difficulty. Difficulty adjusts based on the previous 2016 blocks. So if "suddenly" there was a lot less hash power, then transactions would slow down as it was adjusting and once 2016 blocks had been solved, it would be operating like before. Bitcoin doesn't need China to carry on. That's one of the beauties of the design. I think there's even been some discussions that if something catastrophic happened, there might be a release to quickly adjust the difficulty but who knows if they could agree to that or not.

Did you lose any coins there?
He's too busy creating crap coins to fleece the naive out of their bitcoin it looks like. Funny as the one main coin he had was tied to cryptopia. Now he's promoting some crap exchange called "unnamed" that doesn't even have any info on the about page. Somehow I don't think one can take anything he has to say very seriously.
299  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Senator Sanders and Rep. Omar introduce Universal School meals bill on: October 22, 2019, 07:28:52 AM
Quote
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) jointly introduced on Tuesday the Universal School Meals Program Act, a bill that would help provide three free meals per day for all U.S. school children.
Quote
“In the richest country in the history of the world, when the top 1 percent are making more than they ever have before, it is simply outrageous that 1 in 5 children will go hungry this year,” said Sanders in a statement.

School meal debt and lunch shaming — the practice of denying students hot or standard lunches if their families have unpaid meal fees — have been recently spotlighted. Earlier this week, California banned lunch shaming with the signing of a bill that guarantees all students receive a meal of their choice even if they have accrued outstanding balances

This should be a no-brainer.  Anyone who knows about education, knows that a hungry mind cannot learn. Children have no ability to provide for themselves and need food and education if they will ever have a chance to do so.   
No. Just no. Implement policies that make it so that the children's parents can bloody well feed their children properly. This is typical. Don't bother solving the underlying real problems but instead stick a bandaid on something purely so you can manipulate people to cry for the children and get votes.

That's a good little sheep. I love how you guys that tend to believe conspiracy theories pick and choose who you'll believe to just fit what you want to be true. Of course he's going to agree with that. That's what you do when you're being "strong armed". You really have to be naive if you can't see that. I also note you left out the "though" word. Nice attempt at trying to misleading others.
