Will the coin switch to solo on CPU or not?

It did. Then someone made a pool.

Unbelievable how many coins have died since winter 2018, but Monero is still the one I think has a great future ahead!

It remains to be seen. In Korea, privacy coins such as Monero are being delisted which was reported to be coming from regulatory pressure. The key is always usage - as long as many are using Monero for private transactions, it will always have value.

Yup, the world follows Korea...we're doomed!

I remember best Korea seemed to have somewhat of an interest in Romero.

Sorry, you gotta DYOR.


Heh, umm actually kinda sorta seems to me that asking for info from well-established long-time forum members on sites like this, about shit that's happened in crypto space... IS doin' his own research due diligence study background etc etc, ain't it?

Just sayin'... lol

P.S. I'd like to know too about this clams-raid whatever happened?  Fuckin' Polo is no love lost on me either over the time, fuck those fuckers but still what's it about exactly?  I hadn't heard anything on it either.

https://www.ccn.com/poloniex-users-threaten-to-sue-after-losing-13-5m-in-clam-flash-crash/

tl;dr Polo had an extremely illiquid shitcoin as part of their margin lending/trading system, price dropped 70% in an hour, then Polo socialized losses to all BTC lenders in the form of 17% haircut.

Good game to ChiBitCTy ! I of course decided to sit my other good WR in hopes of Randall Cobb to have a huge game or it would have been more interesting than relying on Baker Mayfield to score!! All good. Love being in this league.

It's so close now! All the 2-0 teams lost this week so moving forward everyone is super close... Let's see how this pans out Smiley

Lol I thought that meant I won but I got absolutely rekt. Rip in peace me 💀

If you're in SF next Tuesday, come at
Coinbase HQ to learn about privacy implementations with Jake Yocom-Piatt.

https://www.meetup.com/pt-BR/San-Francisco-Decred-Meetup/events/264917644






I'm gonna go on Monday at starfish when he's speaking to the SF bitcoin meet up. Feel like there might be some better critical discussion there. The ones I've been to at Coinbase custody didn't seem to have a lot of skeptics in the audience. Also I like to play basketball on Tuesdays.

Putting aside the details of devs staking the premine and vote losers still being able to fork away, this was my main point in the previous page:

Quote
If Bitcoin used this system then Barry Silbert would have activated segwit2x in like thirty seconds, and I'm not sure that's a good thing. Apparently the market as a whole is skeptical as well that Decred is "bitcoin upgraded" considering it's price versus BTC has dropped by over 50% in the last six months. 

I just don't think the market as a whole considers any "governance" structure as better, whether it's the eth benevolent dictator model, Monero's technocratic approach, Decred richest holders decide, or anything else. Yes, the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent, but I think the market tends towards the best choice, and looking at a time period of 3-5 years now that choice is clearly bitcoin.
337  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][DCR] Decred - Community Governance | Bitcoin Devs | Lightning Network on: September 13, 2019, 10:06:30 PM
No you can do it yourself....

I thought the devs started staking from day one, and there wasn't any stake pool software available for quite some time, and they were staking the premine, so they basically collected all staking rewards for the first six or twelve months.

Your argument is basically that nobody but the devs could mine Bitcoin until late 2010, because the was no mining pool.  But all you needed was an online PC and internet access,  just like with Decred.

Anyway,  I guess  you don't really care about any of this,  so I'm out..

Ok, I was wrong about day one, however they still had a substantial advantage over miners and airdrop receivers by staking the premine from the first available opportunity, at a time when most people without vps wouldn't bother to stake.

My argument is more like Satoshi had a significant advantage over other miners because of the 10% premine he had (or course not) taken.

Anyways, I more think the governance structure kind of sucks regardless of the premine.

You're putting words in my mouth.
339  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][DCR] Decred - Community Governance | Bitcoin Devs | Lightning Network on: September 13, 2019, 08:49:55 PM
What exactly was inaccurate in what I said? I would guess most users that received the airdrop don't have a computer on 24 hours a day with a high reliability internet connection. There's a big spike up in ticket price visible on the all time chart here https://dcrstats.com/ around early 2017 followed by a slight change in slope upwards which would be my guess as to when the stake pool software was released allowing broader participation.

...


I thought the devs started staking from day one, and there wasn't any stake pool software available for quite some time, and they were staking the premine, so they basically collected all staking rewards for the first six or twelve months. I didn't mean literally compound, just that the premine was 10% and they staked it, partially during a time when very few others and no one with as large a bag was, resulting in it now being significantly more than 10% of the total supply. They don't show that in the pie chart breakdown, but I think the premine effectively extends into a not insignificant portion of the staking rewards pie slice.

The POS started from a specific block. All have been notified about the block number since day 1.
This is easily verified in blockexplorer. The tickets are all registered there.

Ok. So the devs started staking the premine from that block, which was well in advance of the introduction of stake pool software, correct?

Look, I'm not trying to say Decred is a scam, please don't lump me in with gembitz. I'm just saying that a governance system that allows very large holders to push changes through maybe isn't the best way. Maybe it would take the devs, placeholder, bittrex, Poloniex, and Coinbase custody to push something thru, not just devs and placeholder, but there is some small set that exists today, whether it's two or ten entities. If Bitcoin used this system then Barry Silbert would have activated segwit2x in like thirty seconds, and I'm not sure that's a good thing. Apparently the market as a whole is skeptical as well that Decred is "bitcoin upgraded" considering it's price versus BTC has dropped by over 50% in the last six months.

Again, please don't lump me in with gembitz. It's basically the worst thing you could do to someone Tongue

But if you give me free coins of course I reserve the right to come here and talk shit about them.
