edit: looks like their website copied a lot from yours lol
Yeah... while I have no formal relation to Bitcoin ABC, it certainly appears that the BitcoinGPU website started as a pure scrape of the Bitcoin ABC site. Still wondering whether or not BitcoinGPU is real beyond the fever dream of a single person. Not devoting a whole lot of thought to the matter though. |

Any blocks mined as of yet?

seems they'll fork off the old chain in the same way as [Bitcoin Cash] did, on a particular block, so all btc holders become btcg holders in the same amount.
The website indicates that BitcoinGPU is to be forked from Bitcoin Genesis at the same block height that Bitcoin Cash forked (478558). I have not been able to find evidence of a single mined block. |

It would be a trivial matter in the future for the Chinese government to pressure Jihan and force modifications to the Bitcoin Cash code. Thus Bitcoin Cash has no real independence from government and is not decentralized.
silly-ass assertion is silly-ass. First, there is no such thing as 'Bitcoin Cash code'. Bitcoin Cash is a blockchain, not a code implementation. Second, unlike Bitcoin Segwit -- where there is essentially one code implementation (core) that runs the blockchain, the Bitcoin Cash blockchain has multiple competing code implementations - ABC, Unlimited, Classic, ... . Any attempt to coerce the developers of one of these implementations will lead the community to adopt one of the other implementations instead. (Segwit chain? Not so resilient to this attack). Thirdly, Jihan has (at least to my knowledge) no direct involvement in any of the code implementations for node/wallets that run the Bitcoin Cash chain. How is he going to make any changes that would be enforceable on the community? The very idea is absurd. |

"Teh h8" is so strong in these Kore fanbois, it's kind of sad to watch. I often do feel like the haters will miss the train completely.
Don't cry for me, Argentina. Everybody self-selects. Each can select into the group that supports the eventual winner, the group that supports the eventual loser, or the group that hedges. Free association no matter the outcome. |

Right now BTC is more profitable but after the next adjustment I think the EDA card will need to be played again
They'll EDA it to oblivion. Who is this 'they' of which you speak? Did the software implementation somehow become multiple sentient entities in your mind? |

satoshi's (who is dead by the way)
Evidence? For all practical purposes, he is dead. <<blather blather blather -ed>> Retraction of indefensible assertion duly noted. Apparently, you have made an executive decision that my actual response was not important, and you would rather just summarize my response as a supposed "retraction."... yeah.. right. Somewhere in your wall-o-text was an admission that you had no evidence that satoshi was dead, so... |

Thanks for posting the text. I suppose it's juvenile, but I can't help but draw attention to one passage in the translation: ... the Shanghai Stock Exchange trading volume of tens of thousands of penis per second.
Whatever could they have meant? |

Anecdotal evidence is anecdotal. Mayhaps we ponderate the average:  Bitcoin Cash users are paying 1/1066 the amount per transaction than are Bitcoin Core users. Bigblockers R3KT? Hardly. More the other way around. |

satoshi's (who is dead by the way)
Evidence? Don't bother with him... =))) ... he's trolling you! ... Go check his coins and you will see that some time ago, he/she moved from some bigger wallets to smaller wallets some of his coins.  ( He/she/they is/are clearly waiting for the world to get some kind of better democracy system. )*edit(0): The psychological profile of "the satoshi" entity/clan is simple. They just don't care anymore, what happens next, happens! And from what I suspect, is that they invested in mining equipment and they bought assets like homes all over the world. (At least 10 countries) *edit(1): Their most important goals now is their health, longevity, stability & safety, financial politics, software development. They seem to be artists, they are trying to find their next thing that they can develop. evidence? . . . . . . . . XD |

One good trade (good profit), three bad trades (buy/sell at same value), and here I'm lower than where I started...
One silver moon and three sad kittehs. It's a recurrent theme. Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny. |

The story is that he lost 700000 XMR worth about 20500 XBT on his Apple laptop. I am not a fan of Apple and its EULA's but this has to be a record for a click on "I agree".
wtf has apple to do with it? Probably nothing. As I recall, he had a bunch of people over and overlooked the most basic aspects of physical security. Then again, I may be misrememberating. Not good to make fun of the misfortunes of others; however, I recall that Risto had some other drama a few years earlier, too... something about leaving his laptop in a conference room of a hotel and then the laptop went missing with thousands of bitcoins. Isn't this a repeating theme with Risto, and if it were to happen once, then wouldn't additional security measures be taken in order to not have a similar scenario unfold a second time? I think that is the incident to which I was referring. Though I think it was in the sauna at his place during an event with many invitees. I may be befuddled on the deets. |

I think today we've hit 1% of Gold's marketcap.
188.000 mt of gold x 42.5mn per ton = 8trn usd.
You just made me a little bit sad, I think that means we need more than 100% of gold market cap to save mcafee's dick... ...i feel so ashamed I'm still not rich, I just hoped he could had been right Not to rain on your parade, but iirc he was referring to bcash. No he wasn't - he was referring to Bitcoin Cash. #justsayin' |

Maybe I'm very optimistic, but I think bitcoin will again surprise those who today see the price of $ 500K as impossible.
$500,000/BTC is very close to the point where the market cap would equal the market cap of gold. At least in today's dollars. I really don't see any scenario where we could go higher in real terms. Of course, we could (probably will) have runaway inflation of the USD. Such could result in a dollar price above this, But I personally don't see a scenario where the totality of bitcoin becomes valued as higher than the totality of gold. I'd be happy to be surprised in this manner, however. It seems strange that you want to intellectually (and theoretically) limit the growth potential of bitcoin based on another artificial value construct. Maybe I don't understand your manner of speech. I don't want to limit it. I just don't see what would drive the total value of Bitcoin -- as seen by the world at large -- past that of gold. Maybe. I've just not envisioned how that might occur. |

Do I have to pay capital gains if I buy shit with my BTC? Like gold, or magic cards, or factory sealed og pepsi clear?
American? Yes. At least, that's what the law says. |

I bought my first coins for $68CAD each.
My first were about a buck US. My all-in cost for all my Bitcoin holdings -- after what I lost to scams and such -- is about $20.00 per. Bitcoin has been berry berry good to me.
Aye. |
