@MINING POOL:  Our hash popped 400% over the past week to over a billion now.  I don't think it's the Chinese so whoever is putting that much hash on IXC, can you send me a PM?  YOU'RE HOLDING US HOSTAGE!!!!  We need to update the code and you guys are making it impossible - what could you possibly have to gain from sabotaging us?  Please send me a PM!  Thx!

9 days.  Btc needs a miracle to kick it into high gear in a mere week.

At any rate, PoolMinor, do you by any chance own or operate an pool?  I'm trying to figure out who's got the hash on IXC cause it's not the Ukrainians or the Chinese.  Whoever it is needs to lower their shields so we can update the code.

I do things spontaneously and that poll just wasn't funny to me anymore after half hour.   

But now I'm curious, what did you vote?

Thx for voting!  Smiley

I was thinking similiar thoughts myself today only to remember I spent the previous hour playing "angry birds" and then wondered why angry birds is worth a couple of billion only to conclude its because fools like myself spend an hour playing the crap while I pretend to be working.

Haha.  Funny. I played that game for a week when it came out.  I get bored really fast. 

Speaking of angry birds.  Ahh, long story. 
3846  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [I0C] I0coin - The Best Choice In Digital Currency on: September 15, 2016, 11:12:23 AM

Hey, do you guys see a win-win proposition if IXC and I0C would merge together into one bigger project? 

Let me know.

A collaboration would be welcome as far as I'm concerned.  IXC and I0C have complimentary and compatible features.  First, they are both merge mined with and close copies of Bitcoin.  So any plug ins for Bitcoin should be compatible with IXC and I0C as well.  IXC has 10 minute block times and I0C's is 1.5 minutes.  It would seem a great collaboration would be something which requires both the fast and slow block times for different customers, and maybe even interaction between block chains. 



That's exactly what I was thinking.  Kind of like a dual multi purpose sidechain.  I really like the idea and its potential.  Let me take it to our guys and get back to you.

The great reveal is happening now yet everyone is missing it!

---

From the GQ article:

Perhaps most bizarrely from the London Review Of Books story is the reason Wright finally gives for not wanting to move the early bitcoins and thereby proving beyond all doubt he's Satoshi. He sends O'Hagan a link to an article with the headline: "UK Law Enforcement Sources Hint At Impending Craig Wright Arrest". He sobs about this. He says, "The Brits have got their own version of Guantánamo Bay." He says he's damned if he does, he's damned if he doesn't. He'll be seen as a fraud, or he'll go to jail.

Yet it turns out this isn't true either. The story appeared on specialist bitcoin website bitcoinist.net. Yet go to that link now and it starts with an editor's note: "The SiliconAngle piece cited in this article was produced by an impostor site posing as the real SiliconAngle."

Someone had gone to the effort of creating a fake website to create that story, the only difference being an extra "l" in the name.

When I contact the senior editor at Bitcoinist, Evan Faggart, I ask how long the Wright story was on their website before the editor's note was added.

"No more than 24 hours."

Twenty-four hours. Is it feasible that Wright clicked on this link once then never again? A man sobbing at the prospect of being locked up in whatever he assumes the British Guantánamo Bay to be? Would he not check back?

One thing the editors at both sites agree on - the fake site, which has since been taken down, was an uncanny replica of the real thing. It would have taken substantial computer skills, and no little effort. "I've never seen anything like it," says Faggart.

---

SAY WHAT?!??

I remember that article cause I laughed at the timing of it, I knew it was a game, so I didn't believe it but it was, at the time, a LEGIT article.

Riddle me this:  This is cryptoworld, the hottest story about [THE] Satoshi - surrounded by experts, journalists, major media and hackers and NOBODY noticed that was an elaborate hoax site until now?

IMPOSSIBLE!!!

Dipshits:  THIS IS THE GREAT REVEAL!!!  It is happening NOW!!!

They're doing it piece by piece - with every video, soundbyte and article they're slowly revealing that Dr. WRIGHT IS SATOSHI NAKAMOTO!!!

And the irony:  The ass licking mortal worshippers who were bowing down to the name Satoshi are the most blind, they're the ones mocking Dr. Wright the most. I really hope Wright does a righteous Aussie ragequit on them all.

At any rate, this is all so amazingly elaborate, coordinated and incredibly well planned.  Only once have I seen this before and my mind nearly turned to mush.  I LOVE these guys.  lol

Beautiful work!!!

"While a bitcoin hard fork isn't imminent, its developers have begun to research how the complex technical change could be enacted, if needed."

---

I don't buy it.  I think it is imminent.  It has gotten really quiet on /r/btc so they're either planning a sneak attack or they may have reached some kind of deal, seeing how the ETH/ETC drama didn't go quite as planned (i.e. Apple won't allow ETC yet it allows the scam DAO).  That's big VC/Wall Street rain makers throwing their weight around.

I'm hoping they reach a deal, way easier to predict things and Bitcoin will do well with LN and sidechains but my feeling is these guys aren't gonna give up, they'll split BTC soon.

Thx for the link!
3849  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: -- The Riddle of the Twin Brothers - Who Were, Are and Will Rule the World! on: September 14, 2016, 02:38:47 PM

I've been saying from the beginning that Bitcoin has no intrinsic value and there is no such thing as value based on maths; but rather its value is derived from sheer perception (up until critical mass/speed/velocity is achieved).  Furthermore, this perception can be duplicated, under the right circumstances and with the proper timing.  Zing!!!



Really interesting excerpt, supporting this theory, from the GQ article:  "Collective Hallucination" [so I'm missing the [collective] part].  lol

As with all currencies, bitcoin is only valuable because people think it is. This is something bitcoin developers I spoke to call a "collective hallucination". The idea being: if everyone has the same hallucination, it is, to all intents and purposes, real.


Interestingly, this is also the same characteristic of a cult following.  And yet you call me crazy.  Smiley

I said months ago Dr. Wright wasn't going away:  CAUSE HE'S THE REAL DEAL!!!

Long read but GQ just did a profile on Dr. Wright (a bit "eccentric/unstable", lol)!!!  I expect him to blow up the crypto scene this month or next.  Sadly, I think he's gonna go with the big block classic camp.

iOS 10 is really amazing.  I've never liked upgrading before but this one is worth it. 

Looks like there's a cap of $999.99 when sending USD/fiat via iMessage.  Can someone try to send some btc to see what the cap is there?  This is really gonna be amazing for Bitcoin/Crypto adoption.

I've done this because the world is a greater place because he once lived.   Grin Access to this account will be granted to deadsea33 as a sign of good faith.

You guys want two threads?  I thought we were aiming for one.  This one has all the pretty pictures.  Smiley

Let me know.

Better is one thread - Personally I don't care which one, things are getting very confusing with all these threads flying around, but also drawing attention to the coin =). The title of the other thread with '[ANN] iXcoin [IXC] The Original Bitcoin Sidechain' looks more relevant and sounds more official to me.

I was thinking the same thing about the title of the thread.

Gonna shut this one down so all the traffic goes to only one thread.

Updated the OP.  My thumb says thanks to Nasakioto_ for all the help.  Smiley

Please take a look and let me know what needs to be changed/updated.  A couple images aren't showing, I'll get that fixed.  Thx!

i have read all the Thomas Nasakioto history (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=28684)

This man was a pioneer of the alt coin world.

He never fight or sent a bad response to the trolls (smoothie and other asshole troll reference : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=40000.msg497461#msg497461) )

After six years they must say thank you to Thomas because he deserve a LOT of respect and i also think he is a unique person, a rare gem.


I reached the same conclusion very early on.  Whoever he is/was, he was a very moral, upright individual.

Google still pulling up an old abandoned thread.

Is someone gonna hack them or do I have to?

I can't wait to see how this works as far as securing one's BTC.  Could be a huge driver for BTC/Crypto!

Apple's iMessage will integrate Bitcoin transfers in the next 36 hours:

http://themerkle.com/apples-imessage-will-integrate-bitcoin-transfers-in-the-next-36-hours/


I understand bitcoin is sent via Circle app.  iMessage just integrates into circle.

Right but someone has act as counter party.  Is the btc changed to fiat or who stores it?  Are transfers instant?  And do both parties need a circle account?  My guess is the latter.

Hi, Vlad2Vlad, Here a couple threads you may want to link to this one from (and attempt to get closed), will both increase the rank of this thread and push people to the right place who stumble across them.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=36218.900
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=36220.0


Done.  Let's hope mprep close those other threads for us.  Thx.

Edit:  Mprep refuses to close any of the older threads so we'll have to count on the masses to fire on both neurons.
