Not sure how much different it would be.

The reason is it is shipped USPS registered mail with restricted delivery.

Restricted delivery is to ensure that the addressee gets the package.

I prefer not to deal with having someone claim they never got the coins when they paid for them and I shipped it to them.

Also if your coins are funded when I ship it, it makes sense to send it the most secure way I am able to.

Not sure if there is import tax with your country you should check with your local customs office for details on this.

How is gavin so desperate?

I don't see him here spamming the forum or complaining/etc.

1. Some fear change

2. An example of that fear (similarly) was a bunch of precious metals supporters on youtube in 2011 bashing bitcoin and just to find that PMs did worse than bit coin and other cryptos. Some of these users consist of RawDog and StellaConcepts

3. Financial incentive to create off chain payment channels (supposedly "trust less") to collect fees for having these "payment channels" open.

4. To troll and feel superior to other users

5.  

 in wrong section..

Payment channels were sold as "trustless".

I still want to see an implementation that people can test and pick apart to see if it breaks the "trustless" claim.

otherwise it is all talk.

Oh yeah?

All of china? Who speaks for china?

Or just some pools?

 

No it doesn't necessarily.

You don't know the future and what bitcoin prices would be and how competitive mining would be.

Let's deal in facts and not hypotheticals.

Thanks  

Lifting the cap on max block size would allow the bitcoin network to self regulate.

Miners would be able to determine what max block size they are willing to risk being orphaned and the probability that they are okay with. Call it SELF IMPOSED BITCOIN MINING RISK APETITE.

Some miners will pick 1 MB others 2.7 MB others 5.9 MB. But they will have the risk (the bigger the block) of being orphaned and wasting resources mining that block.

Essentially the network of miners and block sizes would be self-regulating.

How?

Seems like 3/5 developers of core dont want to increase block size for their own reasons.

I dont think 3 people should be stopping development on a technology such as bitcoin.

Hence why people can choose what they want (I vote for bigger blocks by using XT).

If the consensus stays with core then that's what the free market decides.

If the opposite is true then great the free market decided. That is the main thing that people have a choice and consensus will win out in this situation one way or the other.

really?

This is the winning bid ^.

PM me your shipping information and I will send you a total to pay.

This auction is now closed.

last 10 minutes and


high bid is 0.08BTC by WTF

 

by the way RawDog ...


werent you the guy in 2011 saying that bitcoin would be dead and worthless very soon (on youtube)?

Look, 4 years later and the price is up some 1500% to 2000%.

 

It isn't an attack if people have a free choice to use the version of the software.

It's called allowing the free market to choose.

He just put together the XT client and released it. No guns no war no pressure.

Obviously you thrive on controversy and drama.

bid away.

No objections.

~40 min left.

This is the highest bid ^.

IF bids come in near the end of the auction the auction extends 15 minutes until 15 minutes passes between bids.

and no I do not have a problem if you take 2 weeks to fund the coin as long as your bid and shipping cost is paid in the period specified in the main post.
