Since tracing of transactions became the topic of the day, here is a quiz question for you  Let's say we can see the following transaction on the blockchain: Input A 1 BTC, Output Address B 0.6 BTC and C 0.4 BTC. What can be inferred here is that A either sent 0.6 BTC to B (and got the change to C address) OR 0.4 BTC to C (and got the change to B address). Question: Is there a way to find out whether A sent money to B OR C?By looking at just that one transaction, and with no other information (eg. access to historical wallet data - a lot of which can be deduced from just looking at the blockchain - or IP logging etc.) I don't think so. So best send a SWAT team to both locations to be sure. Or is this a wife/mistress mixup? Not enough manpower. Did you know 90% of USD bills have cocaine residue on them? Do you think the US has the manpower to send SWAT Teams to every and all people who own USD bills with cocaine residue? And, even if they did have the manpower, they would find that 99% of the people who owned or used those USD bills have never even touched cocaine before, or even knew that their bills were tainted. Same goes for cryptocurrencies. |

We need a Wall of shame with the worst Dev developers possible. Once we make a good list there is a high chance to make it public.
Crypto is beyond repair I think. First there were ICO and now this new ponzi scheme. 1. Create shitcoin using coingen 2. Premine 70% 3. Launch 4. Exchange 5. Dump Rinse and repeat  No, first it was the premine/ninja mine shit then the ICO and now back to premine/ninja mine shit. History has a way of repeating itself. Haha, exactly. When will people learn not to buy premined coins...when. |

I hate to admit it, but Gates is completely right.
There is no question Satoshi is a genius, many aspects of his innovation are really remarkable, however Gates (who is very good at the implementation level) correctly spots the biggest issue with Bitcoin: that without a regulated third party it's not fit for trade and hard to integrate it in the existing regulated legal and financial structures. No wonder large adopters like Paypal and Microsoft use Bitcoin in a strictly regulated environment where the third parties can verify who is paying for who. In modern societies where drug traders, money launderers and terrorist organizations pose security risk from the state viewpoint only regulated financial instruments will be allowed by law enforcement, and therefore Gates very correctly states that it seems Bitcoin cannot be such financial instrument. What Gates said (despite what the OP states) nothing to do with privacy, it is all about the ability to comply with regulations.
In the meantime ignorant Bitcoin fanboys state that the lack of regulation what Gates points out is the strength of Bitcoin. In fantasy land yes, but in reality it is not. The reality is that without regulated third parties Bitcoin won't be able to succeed. Only regulated third parties can take Bitcoin to the mainstream ... which completely defies the purpose of the decentralized aspect of Satoshi's great innovation.
The thing is fucked up from wider integration and regulation viewpoint, so it is better we the Bitcoin community and investors listen to smart people like Bill Gates.
100% spot on. There can be no such thing as 100% decentralization in this world with current technology as frankly everyone is not equal intellectually(Thus a 100% decentralized system could never hope to be the dominant system i.e what some people hope is Bitcoin). But the twist is, Bitcoin isn't fully decentralized, which is a good thing, in fact it's a great thing. If countries start taking Bitcoin seriously, and banning the creation of exchanges that don't register for money transmitter licenses and comply with regulation etc, then Bitcoin would actually be on the road to stability and security. Of course that only partly fixes the issue, there's still Bitcoin's volatility at hand. However, that issue can also be addressed through adoption i.e the more people are using Bitcoin at a consumer level, instead of hoarding it or using it as a speculative investment, the less volatile Bitcoin's price will become. Frankly, all the idiots here who oppose regulation are also harming Bitcoin, as regulation is the only way for Bitcoin to reach both a secure and less volatile state. |

I'm happy about the Core team's decision after reading the last few pages. Seems they actually want Monero to be used a currency rather than being mainly a speculative investment. I like their attitude(s).

You still have a Bitcoin balance in MTGox?!!
Wow, I'm hoping it wasn't alot of coin. Surprised you stuck around there even through all the warning signs of insolvency over the last couple of years.
What are you talking about? Am I missing something here? Arent there many ppl who can see their wallet balance on the page by just logging in? Well I used to see it too but now I cant MtGox went bankrupt after being "hacked", they probably stole the coins(the staff there), so all the users funds are now lost. |

Because the altcoin market is driving most investors back into a safe investment like BTC.
I hope the alt game dies and everyone in it realizes that the only coin really needed is BTC!
That is all!
you are an idiot, ever hear of survival of the fittest? The shitcoins will die out and the real alt coins will survive. Someday some altcoin will either be on BTC's level or above it. I wouldn't be suprised if bitcoin became the myspace of crypto. Don't bother argueing with these deranged lunatics. Bitcoin will inevitably fail soon enough because of its lack of reasons to use over fiat(get serious guys, the average person doesn't give 2 fucks about decentralization, coupled with the fact that the entire bitcoin ecosystem is run by a few pools and most of the bitcoins are in the hands of a few guys) The only thing out of Bitcoin that'd I'd invest long-term(I'd invest in Bitcoins, as I think another price run-up will happen again, but obv sell right after) is startup companies focused around Bitcoin/Cryptocurrencies. |

He's doing this in a pathetic attempt to raise people's mindset on Bitcoin...Hoping to higher the price so he can sell and buy back lower etc. It's timed with Microsoft accepting Bitcoin. If you look at his past, he's a pumper/dumper.
OP is an idiot, first and foremost.
LMAO, you're the idiot for thinking that someone like me would think I can long the market from the forums... You must be new here! People try and do that all the time, creating threads like, "Bitcoin's going to the moon!" etc and etc. You're no different. Look at your past, you just pump/dump altcoins with your little crew and sockupuppet accounts, then all of a sudden your mindset changes and you hate those altcoins? Oh yea, it's because Microsoft just accepted BTC along with the fact that new, shit altcoins don't pump as high as they used to so the market isn't as appealing. Don't act stupid... |

It's so funny reading this. You guys are like all the hardcore conspiracy theorists mumbling on about an issue already largely decided as true. Just reading the complete bullshit and insanity in your posts is interesting... tsk tsk.

This is your life. It is the only one you are going to get. It either be your heaven or hell. That is up to you.
Tell that to him/her.  What is the implication with the buzzard included in the pic? The kid is its meal? Yes, it's just waiting for the poor kid to die.  That is such a sad picture, sadder since it's reality. You know the person taking the picture probably stepped in to save his/her life, but thousands of other children don't have that kind of intervention... Vod, the even sadder part on one account is the photographer who took that picture, didn't help the kid... "In March 1993, while on a trip to Sudan, Carter was preparing to photograph a starving toddler trying to reach a feeding center when a hooded vulture landed nearby. Carter reported taking the picture, because it was his "job title", and leaving. He was told not to touch the children for fear of transmitting disease. He committed suicide 3 months after winning the Pulitzer Prize.[4]" |

If such a thing happened, this forum would lose a large userbase, and another might take it's place in popularity(among altcoins).

I can without a doubt, say that Come-from-Above's threads/posts have been fake/to get laughs.
He hasn't bought a single bitcointalk account(he's made accounts), and most definitely doesn't own over 5 bitcoin. He simply trolls here and there, off and on for the laughs. So that entire thread made by Cheesus(another sockpuppet account) about Monero is bogus.

"IMO, best to not state anything at all after you've done it once. If they refuse to adapt, when shit really hits the fan, then they'll learn."  Though I can see both sides of the equation. Bitcoin's trying to gain mainstream adoption, implementing things you've proposed might hinder that and bring in more regulation. |

And the fact that the XC founders are INSTANTLY ONLINE to delete replies they don't like.
It's a delete bot you fucking moron. Hahaha. You've created many fake accounts on this forum to push your agenda of smearing Dan's projects. No-one cares what you think, you've lost all credibility. Personally I'm glad you lost your money with the Scrypt ASICs. Usually I've got nothing against greedy idiots like you, but your attitude has been disgusting. +1000 Classy bunch. I'll just reply that I have no satisfaction in any of you losing money. But immense satisfaction in the fact that it more people won't get sucked into this circlejerk closed source "anon coin" It was Dan and Syn and Teka that sold you those cheap coins before moving on. Not me. I'm not to blame for your coins problems rdnkjdi is right...I too invested a small amount in Blocknet shares(Less than $1000 usd), along with buying a bit of XC. I've sold out of it completely. Always invest what you have to lose...If you look at the Blocknet github, Dan has done absolutely nothing. XC/Blocknet is a scam, plain and simple. The warning signs were there, XC's code not being open sourced, their mixer allegedly taken from fedoracoin, and I believe Dan having charges against him for not paying taxes. |

bullshit like always, you already stated that rubbish on the darkcoin thread and got just ignored - didn't work out your plan he?
IF you had a negotiation, which you don't have, you would not talk in public about it - idiot.
You are even to dumb to FUD, unbelievable. To dumb to even fake some proofs, you could learn a lot from Bytecoin, even they were smarter.
You can be so proud of yourself that you scared some innocent bystanders off, pat yourself on the back, your mom is also proud of you - for sure.

Responses like this is a sure sign of a direct hit. Thanks for the feedback. ~BCX~ Yes, we got hit by the NXT/SUPERNET/BBR scammer gang; that is true Windjc.  That's extremely suspicious to say the least...LOL |

Before this all began, I viewed BitcoinExpress in a favorable light, now I view him opposite from that. If he had actually used his time to attack coins that are actually scams or sketchy, like even Xcurrency that arguably duped it's investors(of which even I lost $ on, though a measly sum ), but he choose to go after a coin that's actually promising... It's all very odd, and it has me wondering what's really going on with him. |

BCX in my view is sadistic or plain crazy?
He "targets" a relatively good coin out of the swarm of shitcoins that are abundant on here..
Yea his logic makes sense... /sarcasm

One of the rare times I agree with Spoetnik. But, yes Ripple shouldn't even be on currency/coin marketcap sites, since it's Not a cryptocurrency, hence centralization and hefty 80%+ premine.
