How many GBs do you have? Lol
are you the whale with the 54k btc?  Cheesy

I have 5 GB right now and if I spend them all the DB will grow by 5 GB, right?

Do any exchanges trade BTX?  If I claim these what can I do to get value from them?


We works only with one snapshot until 11/2017. The rest is open.

I guess i missed it then  ,thanks anyway Smiley

Any feedback on my designs for the bitcore.cc website?
Here are some different colourings: http://imgur.com/a/zVGg9
This is my personal fav: http://imgur.com/a/b3Wme
Combine this while keeping most of current colouring on the website (yellow for the CLAIM BTX button) should look pretty good.


@CoinCidental: Since when is there such a thing as negative balances in Bitcoin? If you have the private key, you can import it. If not you can't.
Yeah, the distribution model might not be perfect. They rarely are. Still, much better than an ICO imo. Also, BTX is pretty cheap, buying a few coins to get a top1000 address will allow you to get much more by taking part in the upcoming drops.

if you have a cold or watch only wallet its unsignable until you send it to a hot wallet
after you do that your btc are in a different address than the snapshot

and any msg you might sign from there is invalid from the snapshot ............

Stay calm and I can help you dump Iotas for Byteball.

Thank you, but I've got so much GBs that I don't know where to spend them to, I can buy your iotas for GBs if you wish.

Is there any incentive for bitcoin holders to join if they have missed the first snapshot ?

i had coins in cold storage and would need to transfer them to a hot wallet for signing so they wouldnt be in the same address
as they were in on april 23rd unfortunately


My advise would be to import your private key into a wallet like Electrum, sign the message there and then create a new cold storage / paper wallet for your coins, just to be super safe.

I think it's impossible to regenerate an address in electrum with a negative balance from seed words  or paper backups because to get it to a hot Wallet the address changes

  I have friends who would also participate but missed  the announcement and also can't because their coins were in coinbase etc

Its going to be a very lopsided distribution model if only the people who got the first airdrop get all the subsequent airdrops as well...
286  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Tezos discussion on: June 29, 2017, 06:59:02 AM
This ICO dead?

Starts on 1 July and no information here since months?
Tezos not realy active here Sad

The Tezos team also not active on slack, they only care about the money and nothing more. Expect the same scenario after ICO is over.

Not sure I'd go that far, but I think it's ridiculously overhyped and they will raise a ton of money but the coin has nothing that hasn't been done before or can't be easily replicated....

Tim Draper advertising it will send the ico price to the moon, I'll be staying away from this one...
287  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: BYTEBALL: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments on: June 29, 2017, 06:28:41 AM
Byteball wallet takes so long to synchronise. Hope it will be done before the next airdrop. But then I''ll have to transfer BTC's in it so that's going again to take ages. Crypto world is turning into snail world..

you can cancel it and use the light wallet ,you will be ready in under 60 seconds

no and i am saying it now with 100% certainty. because in the years that i have been involved with bitcoin i have seen many of these auctions an most of them are huge numbers that your 1000BTC is nothing compared to them (like 50,000BTC) and none of these many auctions have ever had any effect on bitcoin price.

example from 2015, 50,000BTC: https://www.forbes.com/sites/katevinton/2015/03/10/three-anonymous-bidders-take-home-50000-bitcoin-in-silk-road-auction

Only a fraction of seized coins were auctioned. When they decide toal auction the rest, which i believe i is around 500.000 btc total it will destroy the value.

Nonsense..... As usual

So what is your point exactly?

And what does that have to do with Bitcoin? I don't remember that Warren Buffett said anything positive toward Bitcoin, let's be honest here (if I'm not mistaken, he has been one of the biggest critics of the coin). Or do you actually mean to say that Bitcoin is not the asset which anyone would be happy to have if the Bitcoin network went down for 10 years? After 10 years, when the network is back online, people will likely forget about Bitcoin completely, and it will cost next to nothing

WB is the largest shareholder in wells Fargo Bank
How well would that do if it didn't bother opening for 10 years?

you have a lot of posts ,if youre not just another   signature troll you should have at least learned to manage private keys safely without the need of a hardware wallet
292  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How would you store >100 Bitcoins? on: June 27, 2017, 07:05:41 AM
100+ bitcoin is a huge amount! for me I just cast out some of it, then I keep other to different online wallet account so I can save if or grow it for a long time investment.

That is the worst you can do to store it in an online wallet. If you are meaning online web wallet you are making a big mistake to leave more than 100 btc to some other parties as you need the website of these wallets to operate your bitcoins and these websites are not always 100% online. If you mean Electrum or Bitcoin core then it may be Ok but for the best always use a hardware wallet for such case.

why ?

Funny how every time the market is in a recession and losers keep holding on to their losses they magically become "long term" holders.

God damn it, "long term" is such a stupid meme. Admit it, you wanted to get rich quick and once you realised you are too dumb to swing trade you suddenly became a "long term" loser.

Such idiocity.

You think Dan Balzerian held anything "long term"?

Long term is for losers.

Still have   my $3 bitcoins , and a fuckload of cheap eth i bought for like $6 when something was hacked last year
but you keep smoking your resentment pipe son ,its obviously getting you ............somewhere  Cheesy
294  Economy / Speculation / Re: rpietila Wall Observer - the Quality TA Thread ;) on: June 25, 2017, 07:51:34 PM
That's the whole point. Bitcoin can't sit around with 1mb blocksize forever. Or else the recent price increases will return to "normal", eventually.

The weaker chain will and should die, it's how Satoshi designed it.



I'm really surprised that this ongoing scaling battle hasn't negatively impacted prices at this point already. I think this means that there is a ton of new money flowing into the ecosystem from people that probably haven't even heard of the word "scaling" as it pertains to bitcoin.

Transactions have been taking so much longer too. I had to wait a week to get a confirmation on a $400 transaction sent from blockchain.info using the default fee settings. I didn't realize I needed to adjust that one manually higher because the default has always worked fine in the past

it isnt so much that
i am well aware of the scaling difficulties and the upcoming HF and i see it as a positive
IF the 95% strong bitcoin /barrycoin emerges the winner the price will quickly jump to about $5k
the 5% or less who want to follow luke jr and wear silly hats can fork off and create their own coin on august 1st

if they are sucessful and their 1mb  chain doesnt die and manages to retain value (like ETH and ETC ) ,i will have as many of those coins as i have of the coins on the winning chain
so in effect ,il be better off after the split (not worse off as fearmongers try to suggest )

yes, go for it if you just find the right spot to buy
big drop is coming!
it can be 100usd/btc, cant tell

Still waiting on that $100/btc drop??

297  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: rpietila's Crypto Kingdom game is a scam, heavily in debt. Do not deposit funds. on: June 22, 2017, 05:22:30 AM
@generalizethis, I edited your comments about kicking rpietilla out of the game and seizing his assets into the OP. Now my question to you is whether those assets are going to be used to compensate the players who were scammed?

Yes, if risto does not pay his debt and reclaim his account, his assets will be used to repay the debt he created, and this is a huge IF, if the game is successful enough to do so.

And just to be clear, I am using some seized assets (his M, land, and deposhares will remain untouched as per game rules) to create bounties and fund other projects to help ck become a successful gaming platform.

Also, I did not follow this thread, but will do so as to answer any questions that may arise about the game sans risto.

Any idea how much his majesty owes the townspeople??

Like most things in risto's life, that is hard to formulate due to the convoluted and ambiguous nature of how he went about it. For example he has claimed that over a half million was recently paid back to one of the players--problem is that there is no way to verify what the arrangement was with that player as it wasn't done publicly--I had thought the player/company was run by him, so was surprised that it even appeared as part of the debt.

I assume the 3mil he claims to have on Polo would be enough, but there again, he is claiming that Polo is forcing him to jump through regulatory hoops, so he can't get the money. There is a google sheet somewhere with the withdrawal and interest debt, but this doesn't have all of the euro debt and is heavily weighted by the absurd interest he accrued while this was all happening--I believe the interest scheme was one of the driving factors in getting every last dollar he could from the players.

Yeah, that interest rate he offered was a real dirty and crooked move.  As far as a lot of his strange behavior could be attributed to his deranged mental condition and refusing to seek treatment this action leaves no doubt in anyone's mind that he is as crooked as they come, a flat out thief and scammer.

Karma is a bitch and catches up with everyone in the end.

It would probably take 3 KPMG accountants the better part of a month to unravel the CK finances. 

How much was the interest rate?
298  Economy / Speculation / Re: Sell Bitcoin ahead of 1st Aug Hard Fork on: June 22, 2017, 03:38:38 AM
Hi everyone,

I have recently sold a large part of my BTC  portfolio as I was spooked by a various sources telling me that BTC was heading for plummeting prices  following 1st Aug and hard fork.  They have also said that  July will be incredibly unstable in terms of price as we approach the deadline.  I a now sitting on cash and waiting for the best time t go back into BTC

Given that the price of BTC has risen every day this week and feeling that I sold unnecessarily and am considering buying back in.  can you feedback to me.

1) Is the 1st Aug really going to be that bad and should we expect volatility in July as we approach the date?
2)  Would you buy back in now or wait sitting on cash for a better price entry point in the coming weeks?

Thanks all

Matt
When will people learn? It is extremely difficult and rare to short the cryptosphere and anyone that does deserves to lose their skin in the game. BTC is a nascent technology and will benefit all longterm hodlers. Besides even if their is a spilt by hodling BTC you'll get the spilt tokens too and whatever value they may reach. Think ETH and ETC. in summary I think you were very very foolish.

If it were me I'd buy them all back again asap
Even if the price dips temporarily in August it will recover rapidly
I think if scaling goes well it could jump to 5k overnight so don't want to get caught out and only able to rebuy half your stack
299  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I am pretty confident we are the new wealthy elite, gentlemen. on: June 21, 2017, 05:41:09 PM
the important thing is not to panic ,everyday there is people spreading FUD to get you to dump your bitcoins just so they can can get them from you cheaply
like everything else of value in this world,btc will move from weak hands to strong ones .....
keep this in mind and dont listen to the idiots   Cool
I am hearing this for a long time now,bitcoin moving out of the weak hands to the strong hands,now what,you will keep the coins till you die. Tongue either way you are planning to sell the coins when you think that it is profitable for you,people sell their coins because they are not looking at the wider aspects of market rather looking at the current market and booking their profit,what is wrong in that.If i think that there will be a rally in bitcoin in coming weeks i will get hold some coins and get off ,you can also profit in that way.

Yes , i will still have my bitcoins to leave to my children and grandchildren when im dead
the problem with thinking short term is that most people cannot beat the market (97% on average will lose trying  )
My bitcoins only cost me $3 so i dont really need to cash out of a deflationary asset to an inflationary asset like cash
300  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I am pretty confident we are the new wealthy elite, gentlemen. on: June 21, 2017, 05:35:23 PM
I remember a few years back I think it was Stunna from primedice who was going to wager that a certain amount of BTC would be worth more than Berkshire Hathaway Class A shares. I think this is the year it actually would have passed that price

Wow! Really? The price of a single Berkshire Hathaway Class A share is $254,640. They have kept the prices artificially high (by preventing share split), in order to keep the equities away from the small-scale and medium-scale investors. Unlike Bitcoin, the Berkshire shares can't be purchased in fractions. The minimum purchase quantity is 1.000 shares.

actually there is a "cheap option" for people who cant afford brk A class shares

see below:

Warren Buffett has declared that the Class A shares will never experience a stock split because he believes the high share price attracts like-minded investors, those focused on long-term profits rather than on short-term price movements. As of May 2017, Berkshire Hathaway Class A (BRK-A) is trading for almost $246,000 a share.

In 1996, Buffett created Class B shares (BRK-B), offering investors the ability to invest in Berkshire Hathaway for, initially, one-thirtieth the price of a Class A share of stock. A 50-to-one stock split in 2010 sent the ratio to one-1,500th. Class B shares carry correspondingly lower voting rights as well. Buffet stated that the purpose of creating the Class B shares was to give smaller investors the opportunity to invest directly in Berkshire Hathaway, rather than only participating indirectly through mutual funds that mirror Berkshire Hathaway's holdings.

One benefit of holding Class B shares is flexibility. If an investor owns just one share of Class A and is in need of some cash, the only option is to sell that single share, even if its price far exceeds the amount of capital the investor needs to access. In contrast, a holder of Class B shares can liquidate part of his or her Berkshire Hathaway holdings, just up to the amount needed to meet cash flow requirements. Another benefit of Class B is that its much lower price means that BRK stock can be passed to heirs without triggering the gift tax as passing Class A shares does.

One final difference is that Class A shares can be converted into an equivalent amount of Class B shares any time a Class A shareholder wishes to so do. The conversion privilege does not exist in reverse. Class B shareholders can only convert their holdings to Class A by selling their Class B shares and then buying the equivalent in Class A shares.
