Are there any basic specs for the satellites up anywhere ... just would like to know some basics, dimensions, weight?
More than just basic... Check out DunveganSpace.com for one-page info sheet + 93-page design specification. cool, thanks. ps: Lagrange, as in "Lagrange points", is one word, named after Joseph Louis Lagrange mathematician/dynamicist who discovered those points. |

Hm, just come home to see this spike but there's hardly any extra pages in the wall observer thread!
What happened?
nothing, the major long term trend continues to play out ... back to original programing. |

* So far around 90% powerless, considering the combined market cap of all the altledgers compared to the economic majority ledger (Bitcoin).Likewise bitcoin is 99.9% powerless against the fiat ledger. Explain why, other than "technical considerations" (as in how the hell do you do it) perhaps, Bitcoin should not have been created as a spin-off of the fiat ledger. Economically speaking, Bitcoin essentially did exactly what altcoins are accused of doing: failing to respect the existing ledger and instead attempting to impose its own. This gets attacked in both cases as pump-and-dump scams. The similarity should be quite apparent. Vitalik makes an argument somewhere that you can get a sort of equilibrium if coins done as spin-offs only respect the ledgers of other coins that have themselves respected previous ledgers. By that standard no one should spin-off from Bitcoin. ... existing ledgers were clearly and irrevocably broken in 2008 when Congress suspended GAAP for the major money center banks so they could trade while insolvent without fear of criminal prosecution. Others would also say the ledgers were broken earlier when USA (Nixon shock) reneged on international gold convertibility commitments in 1971 or earlier still when Fed suspended convertibility of Federal Reserve "redeemable" debt notes for gold to private citizens in 1933. What obligation does any new ledger really have to "respect" any existing ledger? |

Just looks like a faster way for americans to get their dollars on an exchange to buy some bitcoin. Yes, and it's worth saying that IBM may in the end give up on rolling their own once they realize theirs will not be as secure as bitcoin. they did the same with linux OS ... first they rolled their own now they work off and contribute to the open standard kernel. |

The arguing in this thread is getting embarrassing.
Yeah sorry about that everyone. Been one of those days. If you want to knock someones teeth out the WO thread is always there for you. first rule of fight club ... don't talk about fight club! |

the risk of being negatively affected materially with bitcoin is rising continuously but the opportunity cost isn't, you are better off buying now than staying out, unfortunate for the bears and haters but mathematically true. Whether you like it or not, whether you own bitcoins or not, everybody now has a stake in the bitcoin economy. Just the fact that others are participating in a bitcoin economy is now beginning to affect you, maybe only infinitesimally at first but as it grows the collective effect will grow to affect you personally materially. Nobody any longer is either in or out of bitcoin. We are now all "in this together".  You need to move first, take control of your destiny, get involved at your own pace, in your own way and try not to get swept away by the coming tide. Assuming the growth continues at the current steady, or previously frenetic, rates. |

320000 * 18375000 BTC = 5880000000000$
Yeah, no.
that's.....5.88....trillion? not too absurd imo btw:  This can't be a `meaningfull` prediction in mind i have up to 6000 $ in 2019 this year we can see the `bad` price , we all thought it will never drop for 600 or 700 $ and we saw many crashes in the beginin of the year  monetary value is not an objective thing but subjective .... therefore if every single person on earth who knew about bitcoin woke up tomorrow believing it was worth $100,000 per BTC that would be what it would trade at. |

I think he probably left it out due to complexity of thoroughly testing and left it up to the world to figure out.. If it has value do you think bitcoin can fork to introduce turing complete script ops? Full Turing complete scripting can easily be done on a sidechain, in fact it will most likely be one of the first implementations, i.e. a next gen 'ethereum' sidechain, without the Appcoin necessitating wonky economic justifactions. BTW: Vitalik is not in charge of the treasury over at ethereum, he's just a useful starry-eyed wunder-kid genius front guy ... the truth is stranger than fiction. |

the immutable ledger property that wall st. has finally grokked (took long enough) is in fact provided by the chained-blocks subset, the UTXO ... and therein lies the fulcrum of the not bitcoin vs "blockchain technology" misinformation meme.
UTXO=ledger
blockchain=journal

no ... we just want to get the bastards out into the open on a level playing field where we can deal to them, big fat soft pigs won't last long in the wild west of finance. You might have noticed the scammers and scumbags get flushed out real quick in bitcoin, it is why it seems like there is so many of them, in legacy finance they hide behind regulators skirts and legalese and keep right on scamming and you hardly hear about it. |

When i look at reddit/r/bitcoin news i have a feeling that BTC will fuck*ng explode any day and there will be moons, moons everywhere...What about you?
yep, no doubt wall st. has arrived ... and looks like silicon valley already went all in under the radar "stealth mode" ... tick tock tick tock when in a supercritical condition, the next pin to drop could crystallise the whole ocean into an ice sheet with explosive growth phase change. |

embedding the hash of UTXO in the block headers and retaining only the last few hundred blocks is being experimented with as a client option.
screw that, i want direct access to a copy of the entire blockchain at all times. No one will deny you that access on an open network should you wish it ... destruction of tx history has a myriad of benefits, and risks (that can be mitigated). |

...
Recording all transactions that have happened is done because that's the easiest way to generate the proof, not because storing that kind of history is the purpose of Bitcoin.
Well said. embedding the hash of UTXO in the block headers and retaining only the last few hundred blocks is being experimented with as a client option. |

Any plans for a release 1.0 ?
I said I'd collect my bounty when 1.0 is released, but that was very long time ago.
Would be nice if I can get the bounty paid out to this address within the next days:

If anything needs additional fix please let me know.
Hmmm, that reminds me of all that library work done on Moneychanger ... |

If only Finex was still linked to Stamp...
or
If only the seller on Stamp was smart enough to sell on Finex...
if only buyer in finex was buying in stamp  ever wonder why that is? it's like they don't believe the coins for sale on the swamp really exist or something .... gee I wonder? |
