Haha. You know how YouTube puts up ads before your content plays? I followed your link, and was met with an ad for Cascade Paper company. Shots of smiling factory workers working in friendly collaboration, running finely-maintained production machines, cranking out huge volumes of ... ...
...
wait for it ...
...
Toilet Paper!

Haha. You know what I find one of life's greatest pleasures? First thing in the morning, opening up a canister of preground coffee -- something as pedestrian as Maxwell House is just fine -- sticking my nose in, and taking a deep inhale. Brrr... Makes my eyes pop, the capillaries in my face dilate, and the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

AAR... all y'all may have heard of Celestial Seasonings Teas. Their factory is not far from me. One of the options for an 'out-of-town vistors' activity is to take them on the tea tour. While you get to see the fine artisinal methods of reducing vegetation into homogenized, single-serving doses, the apex of the tour is the visit to the mint room. They shuffle the crowd rapidly into the room where they store the mint, hastily close the overhead door, and shut out the lights. The immediate effect is confusion - followed within seconds with the sheer overpowering sensory overload of being in an atmosphere with a specific gravity weighted with mint oil as an airborne aerosol. It is truly an amazing experience.

So... putting these together! Some years ago, after these two experiences gelled in my mind, I came up with the idea of the coffee room. Maybe a cubic yard of ground coffee shin-deep in a small enclosed but comfortable space.

Yeah, that's the ticket. That's gotta be eccentric millionaire worthy. No?

Possible, but unlikely. What the average person on the street hears in terms of crypto:

"...bitcoin bitcoin blockchain bitcoin ethereum bitcoin drugs blockchain bitcoin money laundering bitcoin bitcoin bitcoin..."

No, probably won't go on forever. Indeed, once everyone is in, there is pretty much nowhere to go. But we're orders of magnitude away from that.

grasping...


That's not what I get out of it:


They're obviously describing a process where they mix some post-split coins with transactions funded by pre-split coins in order to provide replay protection. Can't do that without post-split coins. For which they will use their own. Not putting customer coins at risk for the minimally-yet-somewhat risky operation of being split by timing onto chain.

Of course, if you have evil in your heart, you'll see demons lurking in every shadow.

Shameful. One more reason to look for another venue, I guess...

You're kidding, right? It is listed in literally the very first sentence in the first post on the first page of this very thread.

::le sigh:: I miss newbie jail.

That is troubling. Had you previously registered a Bitcoin addy with your profile, from which you could sign a statement? And if so, did the mods just ignore that?

I dunno, what's a Lambo go for? Not that appealing to me, so I have no clue.

Not like I'd tell anyhoo...

Hey - who here remembers Goat's Lambo? Or his 1,000 BTC Casascius coin, for that matter

Just a warmup for mid-month. Plan accordingly.

Of course - whippersnappers be broke. <g,d&r>

There is no original Bitcoin any longer. That ship sailed years ago. The question is which of the current pretenders implement the properties of the original.

Hey. Whiner. Go peddle your other crapcoin on your own crapthread.

(kisses)

Haha. I routinely drive past their 'factory'. Cool stuff.




Sadly, it too will be immobilized by EMP. Other than that, it's one rugged beast.

Whatchabitchenabout? 'source for that quote'!? It says plain as the nose on your face - Isaac Newton.

::sheesh:: some people's kids!

No, I've heard it before. However, the idea that every person should be beholden to a lowest common denominator, when their individual capabilities and maturity is otherwise up to the task, smacks of the great social utopian interference. Ultimately dehumanizing of everyone.

Kids cannot be 'formed and conformed' without having them stretch their capabilities and responsibilities. Some are ready sooner than others. And entrusting them with such accelerates their proper development.

Blanket statements are folly. That is all.

All in good fun, good faith, and good will, my esteemed colleague.

Zero. I'm sitting on a stash of PMs accumulated before satoshi. Of course, I've bought a few token commemoratives since then (e.g., when buying similar as wedding gifts), but I've always paid fiat.


I've been on a path for suitable 'normal' assets by retirement age for decades. No, I don't have enough to meet my target if Bitcoin vaporized. And I'm kind of an old codger anyhow, so I need to be buttoning that up. But I can't seem to diversify significantly out of Bitcoin - I expect at least one more ten-bagger (maybe two) out of it in the next several years. Hard to walk away from those kind of returns.

As I've said before, I occasionally play the volatility, often ending up with a bit bag of stinky fiat. I use that as I see fit. My newly-bought 35 acres of paradise could be viewed as an investment. OTOH, I drive a beat up 20-year old van. Go figure.

Much as S2X is marketed as an upgrade to S1X, the new Bitcoin Cash fork is being marketed as an upgrade, not a fork. It may be instructive to note that there are other coins that routinely upgrade through the hard fork process, without hiccups.

So the intent is that everyone migrate to the new upgraded Bitcoin Cash protocol, and the old protocol dies an instant death. So no, no doubling of coins for you.

Of course, the devil in the details. While this seems less controversial in the Bitcoin Cash community than S2X seems to be to the Bitcoin Segwit community, we don't know until we're looking at it in the rearview mirror.

I am optimistic, albeit ever so slightly anxious.

Jaysus, JJG - tend to your own garden, willya?

I know eight nine year olds with responsible full discretion over their Bitcoin. Hell, my granddaughters already have liquid assets larger than the average adult. Thanks to Bitcoin

Newsflash: Bitcoin Cash will undergo an upgrade on 2017 Nov 13 in order to 'fix' the EDA (for which it has been so widely derided).

Do try to keep up.

39? Remedial math much? Bitcoin has done a ten-bagger from the time I reference (i.e., three years ago - @ ~$10B). The weeks are a few from your own figures


Lessee... 146.25/52 ~= 2.8B $/wk, $10B/2.8B $/wk ~= 3.5weeks. Considerably closer than eight.

Again,  The trend is my friend.

OTOH, the trend hates you.



And I'm a not-yet-rehabilitated goldbug.

While I agree that it appears that only third-rate services seem to be stepping up to support Bitcoin Gold, I think you have the relationships exactly backwards.

There is no way Bitcoin Gold can force any service provider (e.g., wallets, exchanges, ...) to implement Bitcoin Gold. Conversely, any service provider that wishes to can implement Bitcoin Gold at their option. Indeed, there is nothing Bitcoin Gold can do to prevent them from doing so.

Given that fact, it may be instructive to ponder why it is that only third-rate services are stepping up to implement Bitcoin Gold.

Aye. Well, if you consider eight to be 'a few'. And three years ago, Bitcoin's market cap would have absorbed 'just a few weeks of the global gold mining production.' The trend is my friend.










OTOH, the trend hates you.
