What does any of this have to do with the price of bitcoin in China?
Did the stupor-sleuth duo find Satoshi?

Atheist don't hate religion, they just aren't buying whatever scam religion is selling... You could say Antitheists hate religion, but even that would not necessarily be true. Opposing something does not require you "hate" it... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antitheism |

Why is belief/faith in a magic fairy required for religion? If God were legit, why not provide a little evidence of it? How hard could that be for a God? Based on the available evidence, God either does not exist, or is a complete monster who is not worthy of our respect: Stephen Fry Annihilates GodHere is a wonderful debate if you have the time: The Catholic Church is a Force for Good in the World - Full VersionSpoiler: Christopher Hitchens and Stephen Fry annihilate the catholic church |

Which one of those crapsty insiders/ dis info shills are you ?
EDIT: PLEASE CHOP MY TL;DR POSTS
Who pissed in your cornflakes? How does a guy with 30 links in his signature call anyone a shill? I only post the facts Jack... Don't blame the messenger when you can't handle the truth! |

True, but it will still be relaying any new blocks and transactions that it receives. Pruning in 0.12 will have block relay enabled.
Can't I disable that as well? (If I really wanted to reduce bandwidth usage) |
|
|
|
Just run it in pruning mode then. If you limit it to 10 GB, then that is only $1/month.
Out of curiosity, what host are you using? (If you don't want to share, no big deal).
AWSThey charge separately for things like HD space and bandwidth |

Loucis [sp] CK Accepts Bitcoin for New Show “Horace and Pete”Who doesn't love Louis C.K.? C.K officially began to accept bitcoin payments since August of last year, after C.K and his team filmed his comedy show performed at Madison Square Garden. The team of C.K integrated BitPay onto their online shop, where they sold audio-only show with a unique marketing strategy. Instead of selling the show with a fixed price range, Louis C.K allowed his fans purchase the video at any price they want, with the minimum payment being US$1.
“We have the price set to 5 dollars but you can lower it to 1 dollar or raise it to 85. that’s the maximum, because beyond that, I don’t want your crazy money,” said C.K in August.

BTC - Only 2300 nodes with 24/7 uptime in 7 days. I guess DASH has more nodes than bitcoin, lol. Next thing you know BTC will be paying DASH for its node network  Dash has more masternodes, but fewer "full nodes" than bitcoin |

How much was BTC and/or LTC worth on March 3, 2014 ?  The markets and their activity was faked but the trading and withdrawal fees AND some of the day trading profits, were most definitely "above board".  If there was a 19-month fraud (ponzi) going on, there are no "above board" profits... ponzi is ponzi... you cannot make "above board" profits while running a ponzi... its not possible |

This site just screams ponzi... who would send them anything? 16% daily returns? They expect me to believe I give them 150BTC and in 7 days they send me 270BTC?!? lol... suckers... A fool and his money are soon parted Seriously... I have never seen a legitimate business list 10x "seal of approval" logos at the bottom of their page... that's "I promise we're legit" overkill at its finest Reading the first line of their "About Company" page is a huge turnoff as well: Cryptocurrency literally have made irreversible changes in people's lives. Another fine quote/lie: Bitcoin Instant Limited constitutes professional software developers who were directly involved in the development and testing of most famous classical algorithms for mining Oh really? You hired who? Pieter Wuille, Gavin Anderson, and Wladimir J. van der Laan? That would be impressive |

What about bandwidth? Some people have bandwidth limits and still downloading 60GB of data requires bandwidth. The bandwidth requirement doesn't change, just the storage requirement. It isn't just semantics as there are other things that are still affected by requiring a full download. The pruning doesn't affect the time it takes to download, index, and verify the data. It also doesn't affect the CPU requirements, still need a decently fast CPU to crunch all that data. But in terms of storage, yes it is a big improvement.
The downside is that you can't fully sync someone else and if everyone were to prune, then we would lose a large portion of the blockchain which of course would be bad.
I am less worried about the bandwidth, which will also be significantly reduced... Once the blocks are trimmed, they cant be sent to another user/node... which will reduce bandwidth usage... Sure, you still need to download 60GB worth of blocks, but you wont be uploading those 60GB to anyone... |

Bitcoin has been in "beta testing" for nearly 8 years now... when is it going to officially be version 1.0 instead of this 0.12, etc?
Does anyone know what the holdup is? Transaction Malleability?
Never. This has been discussed before, Google it. Thanks for the link, but "never" is the wrong answer... For 1.0, I would expect:
libbitcoinconsensus: an API that makes implementing a full node practical.
Bitcoin Core GUI: reasonably usable safely by non-technical people.
Bitcoin Core Daemon: a reasonably safe wallet (currently blocked by backup-
resistant accounting system)

In theory, people like proof of stake...
In practice, its quite vulnerable to attack.
With PoW, you need 51% of the network hashrate to perform 51% attacks... with PoS, you also need 51% of the network hashrate. The difference is in how the hashrate is determined... Your hashrate in a PoS network is proportional to the number of coins in your wallet multiplied by how long it has been since they last staked. So, by taking your wallet offline for a few days, you multiply the hashrate... you can turn 1% of the coins into 10% of the hashrate (or more)... making it extremely vulnerable to 51% attacks like double-spend...
It is my understanding that no PoS coin has fully addressed this issue...
Also, every PoS coin I have looked at is a clone of peercoin, which was forked from bitcoin at v0.6.3, and has not kept up with the core. It is missing every single feature that bitcoin has added/fixed/upgraded since 0.6.3 (4 years ago?)

I've also been running rc1 on Debian without any issue, syncing speed has improved a lot, and wallet now available with pruning mode enable. Updating to rc2.  Have you tried running in pruned mode yet? I'm curious how much disk space bitcoin uses with that feature enabled |

Given that my gut instinct hasn't been wrong lately, I'm going to climb out onto this limb and say that the $1M home and all those 1000 BTC addys are Cryptsy's ABOVE BOARD NET PROFITS, and not the actual stolen/hacked coins.  Hate to break it to you, but Cryptsy was running a ponzi for 19 months... there are no "above board net profits", since its 100% ill-gotten gains due to fraud... Someone should put an injunction against selling the $1M+ house in Florida, before his wife takes half of it in the divorce... it should be seized in the lawsuit to cover the $13M in losses due to fraud |

A pruned node can not yet run a wallet, you need to wait for 0.12.
You can keep the old files and just enable pruning once you updated.
I hear 0.12 should be released in a few days: What's new in Bitcoin Core 0.12 - Jonas Schnelli, Core DeveloperAs for the blockchain size, he mentions 2GB in the video... which sounds amazing compared to 60GB... a 96% reduction? The blockchain size is not reduced, you just dont store all of the data. There are some downsides though, like the need to redownload everything if you need to rescan the entire blockchain for some reason. Semantics... You download the entire 60GB, then it gets trimmed to 2GB... the 2GB footprint is what I'm referring to (assuming his figure was accurate)... 2GB of disk space costs me $0.20/month as opposed to the 60GB+, which would cost $6+/month I'm curious if this trimming is done in real-time, or after the entire 60GB is downloaded... i.e., could I get away with a trimmed node on a 5-10GB drive, or would it crash after downloading the first 100k blocks? |

But then agin hes fucking rich from all our money
If they are ill-gotten gains from his 19-month long ponzi scheme, it's not really "his" money... If Chinese laws are anything like US laws, the gov/lawyers can seize the funds pending a full investigation of his illegal activities |
