Good to see an old schooler here from the 2011 days. Too many have disappeared over the years. Then again I'm guilty of not checking the forum much anymore either. Times they are a changin'.

# Release 3.2.0 - Satoshi's Vision (June 30, 2018)

 * If present, libsecp256k1 is used to speed up elliptic curve
   operations. The library is bundled in the Windows, MacOS, and
   Android binaries. On Linux, it needs to be installed separately.
 * Two-factor authentication is available on Android. Note that this
   will only provide additional security if one time passwords are
   generated on a separate device.
 * Semi-automated crash reporting is implemented for Android.
 * Transactions that are dropped from the mempool are kept in the
   wallet as 'local', and can be rebroadcast. Previously these
   transactions were deleted from the wallet.
 * The scriptSig and witness part of transaction inputs are no longer
   parsed, unless actually needed. The wallet will no longer display
   'from' addresses corresponding to transaction inputs, except for
   its own inputs.
 * The partial transaction format has been incompatibly changed. This
   was needed as for partial transactions the scriptSig/witness has to
   be parsed, but for signed transactions we did not want to do the
   parsing.  Users should make sure that all instances of Electrum
   they use to co-sign or offline sign, are updated together.
 * Signing of partial transactions created with online imported
   addresses wallets now supports significantly more
   setups. Previously only online p2pkh address + offline WIF was
   supported.  Now the following setups are all supported:
   - online {p2pkh, p2wpkh-p2sh, p2wpkh} address + offline WIF,
   - online {p2pkh, p2wpkh-p2sh, p2wpkh} address + offline seed/xprv,
   - online {p2sh, p2wsh-p2sh, p2wsh}-multisig address + offline seeds/xprvs
     (potentially distributed among several different machines)
   Note that for the online address + offline HD secret case, you need
   the offline wallet to recognize the address (i.e. within gap
   limit).  Having an xpub on the online machine is still the
   recommended setup, as this allows the online machine to generate
   new addresses on demand.
 * Segwit multisig for bip39 and hardware wallets is now enabled.
   (both p2wsh-p2sh and native p2wsh)
 * Ledger: offline signing for segwit inputs (#3302) This has already
   worked for Trezor and Digital Bitbox. Offline segwit signing can be
   combined with online imported addresses wallets.
 * Added Revealer plugin. ( https://revealer.cc ) Revealer is a seed
   phrase back-up solution. It allows you to create a cold, analog,
   multi-factor backup of your wallet seeds, or of any arbitrary
   secret. The Revealer utilizes a transparent plastic visual one time
   pad.
 * Fractional fee rates: the Qt GUI now displays fee rates with 0.1
   sat/byte precision, and also allows this same resolution in the
   Send tab.
 * Hardware wallets: a "show address" button is now displayed in the
   Receive tab of the Qt GUI. (#4316)
 * Trezor One: implemented advanced/matrix recovery (#4329)
 * Qt/Kivy: added "sat" as optional base unit.
 * Kivy GUI: significant performance improvements when displaying
   history and address list of large wallets; and transaction dialog
   of large transactions.
 * Windows: use dnspython to resolve dns instead of socket.getaddrinfo
   (#4422)
 * Importing minikeys: use uncompressed pubkey instead of compressed
   (#4384)
 * SPV proofs: check inner nodes not to be valid transactions (#4436)
 * Qt GUI: there is now an optional "dark" theme (#4461)
 * Several other minor bugfixes and usability improvements.

Thanks baseke. I got so used to this I think of bitcoin as the cue ball now.

Better translation may be:

The bottom line is that the cue ball goes in a trend with runoffs usually. And the drains gathered in hell. But this is in the mid-term (year). Hmm. I wrote more than once. In the long run, the cue ball is OK.

More from the master:

Суть ахтунга в том, что биток идет в тренде со стоками обычно. А стоки собрались в адъ. Но это в среднесроке (год). Мда. Я писал не однократно. В долгосроке биток ОК.

The essence of akhtunga is that the cue ball goes in a trend with runoffs usually. And the drains gathered in hell. But this is in the mid-term (year). Hmm. I wrote more than once. In the long run, the cue ball is OK.

Telegram post from masterluc: Dow Jones closed under the daytime ma200. Caution.

Tempting to use some dry powder to scoop up more coins...

Hey, I'm glad this post generated discussion and I'm happy to see that most of you got the joke and enjoyed it. Bitcointalk forum people are smarter than the average bunch. Not all, but most. Sorry for the delay in responding but I thought what I posted was enough to explain how I felt. Yes, I am making fun of all of the people who always say bitcoin will never get back to $x again. Now the belief is that it will not get back to $20k. I think we might get to $100k one day -- especially with the halvings which people always seem to forget about. The idea of reward drop is still not in the mainstream despite all the fervor over "cryptos" as of late. It is unbelievable what has happened in the last 9 years but bitcoin is not done yet.

"I do not know what to write, the indicators are not very good. Wall Street on Friday fell heavily, but bitcoin while thoughtfully cuts sausage. In general, thoughtfully we trample on the spot with bad indicators and surroundings."

New telegram channel from the master.

"We are still under the daily sma 200, and at the same time under the weekly sma 20. In previous bubbles for the medium-term it was very bad."

New post and it is bad news:

As that sucks everything went. The scenario I proposed is on the verge of failure. To continue it, the price should immediately turn around. Or to turn sharply around $ 6000.

As we are:
- Under the daily sma200 (punching down)
- Under the weekly sma20
- Under daily sma20
- Under the long-term trend (punching down)

The most sad first and last fact.

This means that when the daily smash of 200 is broken down, the medium-term picture breaks down. And the next support is on the lower historical trend - $ 3000.

A bullish long-term picture breaks when it breaks down $ 3,000.

Taka fucking babies.

At that time the inflation rate will drop to 1.79%. Just a reminder everyone.

Sorry for bumping but this thread is linked from elsewhere. I wanted to point out another issue which occurs if your withdrawal is delayed due to KYC and you initially sold in USD and are now doing an EUR SEPA transfer. The exchange rate which will be used is on the day the SEPA transfer is made rather than the day you requested the withdrawal.

This is an article in Chinese which tallies with some information I have.

Does anyone know where the below rumor comes from?
"Gossip about roasted cats is too much, he bought a ticket to Thailand on February 16, 2015"

Count me in as well.

I forget, how do we calculate how many coins should be owned per share?

Ah nevermind, "each ASICMINER share always equals to 1/400,000 of the total profits and voting power of the summed value from both ASICMINER and Bitfountain."

I think the US doesn't charge nonresident aliens if using a US exchange. Trying to be sure though. Hard to find good attorneys. Anyone here have experience with that?

Good old 蒋信予, Jiang Xinyu. He will be turning 31 this September 14th from what I understand. I have been working on tracking down the cat, he can't disappear forever.

Could be mining issue people know about or movement to BCH. Can be determined by looking @ hash rate of other coins. Haven't done that myself. Your analogy is a bad one.
