WTF Bitmain?!?!!???

I have defended you on all fronts and now you've neg rep'd BitcoinNewsMagazine for simply doing some quality journalism?

This is the exact product you've neg rep'd him for lying about.

If you can't keep a tight ship, don't go lashing out on people who's simply doing their job PROPERLY!!!


Looks like it's been sorted out. Good to see!

Is there a bitfinex replacement out there that offers leveraged trading to North American customers?

Dunno... But I recommend exchanges that require you a ton of personal information and that don't keep the coins or fiat on the exchange... and need like 10 security verification protocols. At least those are safe if you are not afraid of the government, and if those countries have permissive laws towards bitcoin... Try to find a country that actually plans to encourage BTCitcoin.

(*Edit: This if you want to be a trader... if you want to just buy for your personal stash&hold, you can just buy from one of the mainstream exchanges I guess.)

Gemini is starting to look pretty sweet after this. Maybe the twinkletossers will get some wind in their sails.

The ironic thing is that I was going to take the $150k worth of bitcoins from the sale of my house and put it on Bitfinex so I could loan it out and get interest. I figured they had been stable for several years which is rare in the Bitcoin world.
Almost 2 months later and I'm still not finished moving it all to my cold storage address with all of the hoops I have to jump through to get it there.

Sorry for your loss.

Good to hear it wasn't your house money.

They came out to meet with many parties in the area, in fact. You just hear about it in this case.  The meeting was mostly social-- discussing our common passion (Bitcoin) and trying to improve communication.   I think notes are going to be posted, in fact, because we're dweebs like that.

I thought it was really positive-- and good to meet up with people face to face that I'd only talked with in email before.

The Bitcoin industry seriously needs better communication-- especially crossing language and cultural barriers-- rather than hot comments on social media. Improved communication will lead to fewer potential avenues for miscommunication and better cooperation in the future.

Good stuff!

At least we don't have to worry about those finex margin longs any more.


Btw, I'm sorry for those who lost on finex today. I'd suggest you seek legal assistance asap.

I assume not many ppl here will be using Coinbase, but please be careful if you do.

https://bitflikz.com/blogs/news/critical-security-update-from-bitflikz-gdax-coinbase-may-be-insolvent


I have over 100 BTC in Coinbase.... what do?

First, never disclose how much you have... and where !


I'm jk, i have a lot more than 100 Wink


jk I mean't 1

If you have a largish amount of bitcoin you'd like to have readily available I'd recommend a couple of Trezors. One to use, one in case shit for recovery.

edits: sorry about that my grammar and sentence structure goes out the window when i get excited.

Just as an aside, I had always assumed your ... err ... peculiar dialect was intentional. While your spelling and grammar are typically atrocious, you are obviously capable of reason.

Whatevs.

long story short, my mother tongue is french.

I KNEW IT!!!

431  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: July 29, 2016, 02:46:05 AM
Of course the chain won't stay saturated forever. Nobody "needs" Bitcoin now.

When it doesn't work properly people stop using it.

Hence the price.

You should reserve your hences and therefores for when price breaks 500 USD. At the moment price is doing exactly what would be expected after a major move up, and that has nothing to do with abandonment.

Ugh, this reminds me of British Leyland documentary.

Let's hope some news about SegWit and LN starts trickling out soon so I won't have to be given the green light by Old Yefi The Wise to use my hences. The therefores are yours to keep.

Gavin said Craig Wright is Satoshi ... oh, yeah, that happened ... exactly like he said, uh-huh, uh-huh.

What happened was that Craig Wright chickened out. Pretty much like Satoshi did.

Can you please stop pouring stupid down my throat? I'm not going to argue whether 1+1=3 with you. But I know you probably know what's going on with segwit and LN. Is there any progress whatsoever?

https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/0.13/doc/release-notes.md

nevermind, I guess that means no

Edit : Ok, so it was released a day ago

thx!

Edit 2: Any idea how long it will take with the seeds?

No idea.

ok,thx

Any news about wtf is going on with scaling? Any thoughts on Bitcoins lacklustre performance lately?

https://bitcoinfees.21.co/

Scaling is so "bad" that in the last 24hr

125 txs were conducted with zero fees
48k txs were conducted with 1-10 satoshi /byte
11.5k txs were conducted with 11-20 satoshi /byte
19.5k txs were conducted with 21-30 satoshi /byte

If there was a capacity issue the above would be impossible at such dirt-cheap levels.

Furthermore, the attempt to pin "scaling" and "price" together has failed at levels like 200-300-400 etc when people were saying "oh it will never go beyond 200 because ...scaling".... and then the same at 300, 400, etc.


I didn't ask whether it was a problem. I'm asking how it's going with the solutions.

Of course the chain won't stay saturated forever. Nobody "needs" Bitcoin now.

When it doesn't work properly people stop using it.

Hence the price.

Have you noticed that what is happening is exactly what Gavin said was going to happen?

The price has grown from 200 to 400 to 660. If price is an indicator of whether it's working well, I guess it's working damn well.

As for saturation, the chain can be saturated for ever no matter the block size, even 1gb blocks. If it costs near zero to broadcast a tx, why wouldn't it be "saturated"? The only question is whether miners are ok processing these txs or not. Then someone will bitch about "ohhh the mempool is saturated and miners don't process my 0.000001$ tx"  Cry

Can you please stop pouring stupid down my throat? I'm not going to argue whether 1+1=3 with you. But I know you probably know what's going on with segwit and LN. Is there any progress whatsoever?

Actually should figure that fatty would chime in with a bit of her white knighting.    Kiss

After that round of cornholing the only one who needs a white knight is you.

is it true that ETC coin supply  is more less coins than ETH.
after the fork (block 1920000) the wallet holders with coins have only ETH and not ETC.
the account holders on exchange have both ETH and ETC. So i was thinking there is more ETH coins than ETC.



EDIT: Think I misunderstood. The ETH chain is a higher block number, so yes, there's more ETH than ETC.

thanks, this means ETC have more value


LMFAO!!!

Thx for the comedy!

Good stuff!

Ethereum Classic

27.07.16 19:52 from admin
Dear Clients!

BTC-e’s official standpoint on this issue is as follows: Ethereum Classic in the current circumstances is a scam. The Ethereum community decided to implement the hardfork in order to switch to the new chain. All major pools and exchanges (including BTC-e) did exactly that.

On the second day after the start of ETC trading BTC-e received a notification from Poloniex, saying that we need to secure the ETCs in our ETH wallet. At the time of notification, most of these coins have already been sent to Poloniex by our users. So there were almost none of these coins in our wallet.

We continue to receive requests from our customers demanding to return the ETCs that are supposedly deposited in our ETH wallet. We cannot do that for the reason specified above.

Anyone, who purports that we sent the coins to Poloniex in order to sell them, can check all the transactions on blockchain. All transactions are recorded and it is easy to trace the sender and the volumes of coins sent.

Best Regards,
BTC-e Team

That's disgusting. So they lost them and we're the scam?

The scam was vitalik selling premined eth for 36,000 btc then forking out immutability. That was false advertising.

Take some friggin responsibility!

Why didn't YOU contact BTC-E???

Is this the "Whine About Vitalik" Coin?

Bitcoin ETF approval within 5 months.

Quote
A new exchange traded fund designed to track the price of Bitcoin may be on its way to market. New paperwork has been filed with the SEC for the new ETF, titled Solid Bitcoin Trust, according to reports from ETF.com.

SolidX Partners Inc. says the Bitcoin within the ETF will be insured in case of theft, destruction or computer fraud, with the Bank of New York Mellon acting as custodian.

The new fund requires a rule change filing with SEC by the carrying exchange, due to Bitcoin’s status as a new asset type. The fund will kick off with an initial offering value at around $1 million.

Approval is pending based on the approval of the rule change filing; a precedent has since been set by the Winklevoss Bitcoin ETF, which the infamous brothers filed for on June 30. It’s anticipated that fund will receive approval by the end of 2016, with the SolidX ETF receiving approval by early 2017.

http://www.wealthprofessional.ca/news/etfs/new-bitcoin-etf-on-its-way-to-market-211198.aspx

Wasn't the Winklevoss ETF supposed to be approved by 2014? Then again by 2015? Now by the end of 2016? I keep hearing the same thing every year... what's different this time?


Also, didn't the Winklevoss release their ETF called Gemini? Or is that just an exchange? I'm so confused because I've been hearing about the same ETF for the last 2 years and nothing changes


Did someone promise you something too? 


Try a little harder with your nonsense.

By now, even the biggest of idiots have figured out that Gemini is an exchange and an exchange is different from an ETF.

We could have given you a pass for these kinds of questions a year ago (when Gemini first came out), but a year later, come on?


What nonsense you stupid motherfucker the Winklevoss ETF has been in the news as "soon to be approved" since 2014, I'm just asking how this news is any different.... it's the same shit over and over again. If I remember it was supposed to be approved by the end of 2014

Why are you so pissed, you on your period? Don't ever talk to me like that again bitch boy

Well that escalated quickly.
LOL

Can't blame Dafar
JJ called him an idiot for no good reason.

JJ must be having a bad day...

JJG is "special"
