so, i was reading about the upcoming ...stuff.
how'd i miss the excitement of actual, real signaling for segwit happening? i'd have expected this place to explode from that... instead i read about it on coindesk. for shame, my CoinBros.
now, who's got the popcorn for this whole BCC thing?

so, to catch myself up and make sure i'm understanding right:
there's a group forking an altcoin (bitcoin cash) come august 1st. this bumps the block limit to 8 MB. any other changes?
what happened to bitcoin unlimited? are they a part of this BCC split?
just when i finally verify my account at bitstamp all this shit has to be going on... sigh.

since the main thread i'm active in doesn't allow signatures, i'm out.
|
|
|
|
|
no signatures? ...right. *drops his entirely*
|
|
|
|
wohoo! we're back! yay us! and hey, the price didn't crash without the thread. i'm shocked.  |
|
|
|
|

wow, this got weird FAST.

as regards roach, i personally find his posts distateful, so for ages i just scrolled right past until eventually blocking him. seems to do the job, for him specifically, fine.
course i was always very much a fan of the hands off nature of the thread anyway. i mean, there have been way, way worse than roach, in my opinion. he at least sticks to a single account, as far as i am aware.

i'd think we'd all see it by noon. those who are active enough to atter, that is.
|
|
|
|
|
and this is why, of late, i don't post much...
dear god guys, take a breath.
|
|
|
|
|
if mods are needed, i have the time to do it.
|
|
|

i'm really bad at hitting that minimum...

By Dr. Craig Wright I read enough at that point. Do you have a consistent argument to discuss your point? If it's not that way, thank you. isn't that the guy that claimed to be satoshi but then backed down when pressed to prove it? |

There has been so much new money going into the ecosystem. I have people at my mortgage bank who are no investing who used to laugh at the fact that I was pouring money into this for a good amount of time.
The average person is finally realizing that bitcoin isn't a ponzi scheme
Totally true story: I was at the Belmont Stakes yesterday waiting in a line for some food. Struck up a discussion with the guy in front of me about paramutual betting, mentioned I was glad they didn't take bitcoins at the track and he said he recently tried buying some bitcoins at 2k each. Almost sold him the contents of my walking wallet but he seemed interested and had a few. When you have a discussion with a totally random person at the track about this stuff, that is interesting..... i can't help but be reminded of that old story where, on the day before the big stock market crash of 1929, some big time banker was getting his shoes shined. the shoe shine boy mentions something about HIS investments, and the banker leaves and immediately pulls all his investments and gets out of the market. next day it crashes. this is just insane. my brother called me last week for info on buying his first BTC. i told my family about it in... what, 2011 i think. heh. vindication! |

no reason to do it all at once, i think. and if you're concerned about it at all, you could do things slowly, but relatively simply. buy things, real, actual things. amazon or whatever. big, expensive stuff that's small and valuable. art, high end electronics, etc. then sell THAT for fiat.
it'd effectively become a full time job to do it, but it'd work. in theory you'd avoid some of the bank level chaos. i mean, you're still not doing anything illegal. you're still paying taxes on everything, of course.

Just want to put this out there on the record.
The results will be decided on August 1, let's wait together, however, one thing is certain, BU will not be recognized. Segwit and core will be the only two options. did i miss something? segwit IS core, isn't it? |
|

did anything actually happen, or is this all still just general crazy times?
i've been disconnected for a couple weeks, ya see. was there some big progress on scaling or something? i saw about the miners coalition for segwit then 6 months later 3mb blocks. is that what's driven us to near 3k?
