I really do not think Ver nor Jihan are going to let their baby fester into oblivion. Ver is probably a Bitcoin billionaire; and Jihan is close to one, if not one outright. And that is only two supporters of this coin. How many coins out there have the backing of at least two billionaires? This coin is going to eventually be the go to coin for every big block advocate out there. Sorry, 2x blocks just isn't enough to satisfy big blockers. And many absolute hate Segwit. (Jihan is one because he can't use ASICBoost with Segwit. What good is Segwit to him when it makes his patented technology obsolete?)

Too bad that I quit drinking years ago. This calls for some champagne. I live in Colorado, though. Guess some Skunk Galaxy Kush will have to suffice. 

Is that the name of the suppository we should use to flush our systems from all of these forks?

Seems very similar to some toys available at the local adult bookstore, or the Adam and Eve webpage.   Let me guess, they will come in both green and red colored varieties...

How is the price of BCH "quite low?" Over 5 billion in market cap and a price similar to what BTC lingered at for much of 2015. It's abundantly clear 2017 has spoiled many people.  

I doubt BTG has much to do with this pump. I have a suspicion that it will probably be worth next to nothing. I am certainly not going to keep my BTC in stasis from October 25, 2017 until sometime in November when they release it. If I end up screwing up any potential BTG I get, oh well.

     Poloniex is OK, but there is no option to withdraw or deposit fiat via wire transfers, AFAIK. (Only USDT, tether) Furthermore, they have margin lending. XMR is one of the coins you can lend. But not ETC.
     I have little experience with Kraken, but the word from the grapevine is that their interface can be particular slow/unresponsive at times: more so than other exchanges.
     Bittrex is OK too, but AFAIK, I think they also do no have wire transfer options. Plus, there is some controversy as of late because there was a major dump on most of their alts in a short time; and they are doing a "security audit" that has locked quite a few people's accounts. Furthermore, if you have a dynamic IP, it may be a bit of a hassle to log in.

The BCC ticker was already taken by Bitcoin Connect. BCH is an acceptable alternate ticker. However, Polo does not list Bitcoin Connect. 

Only problem with Bitcoin Gold is that it is going to be distributed to everyone that has Bitcoin. Expect a lot of dumping on the markets when it makes its debut. By the time you move your coins from pool to market, it's profitability may vanish.

It's true. Read item # 4 under payments. Not just latest batch of S9, but L3 too.

Currently, the BCC blocks are coming at an average of about 40 minutes. Guess if you order, you have to hope there isn't bad "luck" on the network, that would make the confirmation more than an hour...

Well, looks like my earlier speculative analysis was total BS.  I didn't see that breakout coming.

In the short term, it "might" experience a sucker's rally due to all the fear, uncertainty and doubt surrounding the S2X fork. The rally may even be enhanced if the fork actually has negative consequences.  However, many will opt to hedge by picking any old alt that strikes their fancy, or make an exit with fiat. If the S2X fork is of no consequence, expect more dumping of BCH when people start getting the all clear signals. (Many have held their airdropped BCH to this point, as some kind of hedge to the S2X fork.) I wouldn't expect it to pump again until an extended consolidation period that may come after Coinbase users get their BCH in January.(I don't think it will happen at all if nothing is done to repeal and replace the EDA feature.)

Although the price is important, you actually have to look at the possible mindset of any holders who are not exactly staunch Bitcoin Cash supporters. Bitcoin Cash may see a slight rally coming up, as the impending Segwit2x fork draws closer. However, many may simply chose to get a hedge on this expected event by converting their BTC to fiat or other alts, so the rally may be tiny. Once the Segwit2x fork drama is in play, if it is not going well for the other chains, expect this rally to continue, and this will probably be a good time to consider accumulating. However, if it appear the fork is going well for either new forks, expect a dump of BCH. Many people have decided to HODL the original BCH that they received as a hedge for this upcoming fork. Once they feel they have the "all clear" signals after the fork, they are liable to feel they no longer need the hedge and dump. The other dumping phase will begin after Coinbase distribute the BCH to their users in January. After this all plays out for a couple of weeks, I think the accumulation phase for Bitcoin Cash will definitely have arrived.

Why on Earth would Wu implement this attack on the mainnet? It would likely end up killing his goose that lays golden eggs for him. With the low liquidity in the markets, he would likely only gain a small morsel of foie gras from this. Even if he tried to implement this attack on the down low, since his company is the one most likely to implement such an attack, he would be under extreme suspicion and become anathema to the community.
It would probably be more prudent from him to demonstrate that this attack is possible on a testnet. After releasing his demonstration, he would be seen as the hero; confidence in Core would be shaken; and people would likely buy up BCH and anoint it as the true bitcoin.
I suppose that it is possible that even if he demonstrated it with a testnet, the people that have swallowed the Blockstream Kool-Aid would discredit it, even if valid. Perhaps a black hat demonstration on the mainnet would be the only demonstration that would get through to them.  

Which chain is the S9 hash going to be pointed to? I gather that it will probably be the seg2x chain. <Sigh>, looks like I am going to have to liquidate my S9 hash soon since I don't want to be participating in mining that fork. That really sucks since I haven't ROI. Thankfully, it's only 157 MH.

Guess that I will definitely be losing some dust. I haven't used them since they were brought back online after the hack in the summer of 2016. Unfortunately, during my hasty exodus, I managed to leave some dust behind. They can keep my 0.15(XXXXX) USD, 2784 sats BTC and 2377 sats BCC.   I gather that Spoofy isn't associated with a US customer. I think Spoofy is actually an alien anyway. https://twitter.com/bones261/status/917980409417359361

I implied that the accumulation stage has not started, yet. I see a consolidation trend with BTC/BCH market, over the past couple of days. I speculate that we are still in the distribution phase. So the right move is to distribute your BCH to someone else. (ie treat it like a cheap whore.  )

Unfortunately, this fork, at its current state, is much more dangerous than BCH since the S2X devs have not enabled strong replay protection at this time. AFAIK, they briefly included some bullshit opt-out protection where people would have to include some dust transaction to a certain address; if they wanted the transaction to only be played on the BTC chain. (This would have effectively bloated the BTC chain)  However, I believe even that BS has been yanked. I hope Garzik does the right thing and implements strong opt-in protection. If not, this may be a mess. We could hope that no pool dare go through with it; just like they did with XT, Classic, and BU. However, S2X has a definite coordinated block number and an "agreement" with this fork. Therefore, many pools might be emboldened to take the plunge with this fork.

I'm hoping Slush implements an easy way to split my coins in my Trezor wallet. However, I think many casual users may end up losing coins. Some of these instructions on splitting your coins made by Bitmex make my eyes glaze over. https://blog.bitmex.com/segwit2x-b2x-hardfork-protect-potentially-profit-part-1-split-coins/

How is selling .01 BTC at 53xx being oversold? Especially when the market rose like $500 USD the last time that I made a trade. I'm now employing the same system you are employing. Unfortunately, there hasn't been many dips lately to properly get the BTC back.


You probably still don't have as much a Spoofy.   You really think Spoofy actually owns all that fiat and BTC to put up those walls on Bitfinex?

Yep, that's they way you do it. Don't worry; the banks will make it up by loaning more of their proof of debt currency to poor sheeple who actually think they are morally obligated to pay their debts.
