Were you able to get help for your issue? We saw that a user had replied to the question on Reddit which is why we wanted to double check. We would be be happy to help if you still need it.

All done. Nothing more is necessary. I found the bytecoin wallet v1.0.8.608 in archives and converted the old file in a new format. It is a pity that to your devs it is so difficult to give operational advice in similar questions.

Unfortunately that does not make religion true. If you need a lie to be healthy then you are simply weak.

...
In summary, the Schelling point threshold for starting the SegWit theft is very high and only a sufficiently powerful mining cartel will launch it.
...
the wealthy hate the masses, because the masses always want to steal via their non-meritorious concept of fairness. The masses take on too much debt, expect everything for free from the society/government, and then want to fleece the wealthy when their economic mismanagement ends up in economic collapse.
...
The entire thesis of Bitcoin as a world reserve asset is that the nation-states are powerless to interfere with it because of jurisdictional arbitrage. So the wealthy have absolutely no fear of the governments nor the useful leftist idiots.
...
Thus it is a necessary prerequisite that Bitcoin publicly demonstrate and boldly slap-down any fear of retribution from Marxists (i.e. the masses) before it will be fully respected as a form of Ideal Money.

The allegation of theft is a lack of technological understanding... if the miners of the Satoshi protocol accept these ANYONECANSPEND donations, they are not stealing.

I would rephase #1 as demonstrating that the wealthy have only one choice, which is to defend immutability. Those former wealthy who defect will end up not wealthy anymore. Roger Ver (and his 300,000 BTC) is leading the flock astray by making them think the wealthy want a transaction scalability system. Either he is intentionally deceiving (which I highly doubt and I see he’s not the smartest tool in the shed although not retarded), or he is going to be a sacrificial lamb (in the long-term).

Yes on #2, I maybe forgot to state explicitly that all wealthy can join in the shorting, not just the miners. They can possibly also short at that juncture by selling their Core fork tokens and buy the Satoshi fork tokens, if some miners fork off and continue the Core fork and if there’s some means of exchanging. Also in theory the miners could offer to buy the Core fork tokens from wealthy people (i.e. those that can sell over a certain threshold) at a premium over market price so as to share some of the SegWit booty profits and then dump that SegWit on the market to drive the price down. They can buy only UTXO that was before the attack so as to not put premium into the pockets of those who want to repurchase Core fork. Those who think the attack is not realistic I think ignore the economic momentum created by the booty.

And also:

3) The SegWit and LN scalability to create the hype for a nosebleed ATH.
4) To create the illusion that Bitcoin failed, so the nation-states will continue to be very slow at getting organized to stop it. Another form of deception. The Art of War. Recently a Chinese emissary stood up at a recent meeting about cryptocurrency regulations in the USA and declared that USA and Canada (and by implication West in general) “are confused.” Very interesting that China already realized that Bitcoin is a trojan horse but the West is so fooled. But China can’t defeat Bitcoin. Their people will route around the government edicts.
5) To cause many greater fools to dump their crypto holdings at fire sale prices at the bottom of the next crypto winter. This is what the elite always do pump the economy with debt to eventually crash the economy so the middle-class has to sell and they can buy cheap. SegWit is a form of debt because they are all fractional reserves. Everyone who accepts a Core SegWit transaction has already lost the Satoshi BTC.
6) To increase their marketshare of the mining because marginal miners can be bankrupted by lower prices but the lowest cost miners with the highest economies-of-scale remain operational.
7) The ECB NIRP sovereign debt crisis (c.f. also and also) in Europe should be starting right about the time of the next crypto winter so this will prevent Europeans from buying Bitcoin to avoid being raped by the banksters.

I guess perhaps instead of going bankrupt maybe what exchanges would do is instead issue only Core fork BTC for those who want to withdraw existing BTC held before the fork. That presumes the Core fork would continue to have sufficient mining such that it is not attacked with continuous orphaning by the major miners.


Too much for what? Are you seriously claiming you would not buy an immutable Satoshi BTC at firesale prices at the crypto winter bottom? I will be buying with both hands, all three of my feet, and I’ll even swing my two dicks into that action (promise no photos this time).

Bitcoin will have a much higher stature as a dependable reserve asset once immutability has been secured. No more fear about Core increasing the 21 million tokens limit, otherwise injecting ways for them to parasite on the wealthy, or being compelled by the masses to redistribute the wealth.

IOW, a Bitcoin devoid of politics. John Nash’s Ideal Money must not be manipulable by politics.


I assume you mean off-chain fees?

There you go Core trying to find some way to take revenue away from the miners. I read something recently about some leverage they expect to have on LN hubs. And you think the miners will not fight back?

Note AFAIK, LN can be reformulated without the P2SH feature of SegWit.

If you mean on-chain fees, those will continue to rise regardless of SegWit. Why would the miners not take profits of the booty, the shorting, and the increased marketshare (meaning more BTC mined for them and more txn fees for them)? It is a zero-sum game regardless of the dip in price, because the price eventually goes up again.


I hope you realize I have stated numerous times that I am not selling until at least $30k. I expect a new ATH early next year perhaps as high as $50k (maybe $70k on a spike). I will be taking profits regardless of SegWit risk. So even if SegWit attack does not occur, I will not feel like I lost. Even if BTC somehow keeps going to $1 million without any intervening crypto winter, I will not feel bad about taking profits. It’s been a nice run and I see too many systemic scale risks (i.e. on the level of a Mt.Gox event):

* Tether
* ICO crackdown
* SegWit booty
* ICO bubble burst

I hope all of the above happen in 2019 or 2020. Then I can buy back in below $10k.

I hope the SegWit attack doesn’t start now. I am highly exposed to it. What a major fuckup if I predicted it but happened sooner than I expected. That is why I’m diversifying out of BTC now some into altcoins on this selloff this week (cost averaging until we hit the low below $6k I expect). But it is too late to sell BTC for fiat. Should have done that at $15+k (which I did take some profits at that time).

I have seen many in the Wall Observer thread state they will take profits at $50k.

I’m expecting the euphoria about LN and SegWit reaching some critical mass will be pumped up in the mass media to drive the price to a new ATH nosebleed.

The SegWit booty is an asymmetrical advantage for the Satoshi fork. It can be shared with all those wealthy who sell Core as I explained. Core has no equivalent economic weapon. Core can’t steal Satoshi tokens and bribe wealthy to sell Satoshi tokens so as to dump them on the market.

People with religious affiliations live nearly four years longer than those with no religious ties, according to a new study.

Researchers from the Ohio State Universitylooked at the link between religion and length of life, by analysing over 1,000 obituaries.

Laura Wallace, who led the study, said: “Religious affiliation had nearly as strong an effect on longevity as gender does, which is a matter of years of life.”

The researchers found that part of the reason that religious people lived long was that they also volunteered and belonged to social organisations - both of which have been linked to living longer.

Ms Wallace said: “We found that volunteerism and involvement in social organisations only accounted for a little less than one year of the longevity boost that religious affiliation provided.

“There’s still a lot of the benefit of religious affiliation that this can't explain.”

The researchers suggested that the added benefit may be related to the rules and norms of many religions - such as the restriction of alcohol and drug use.

Professor Baldwin Way, co-author of the study, added: “Many religions promote stress-reducing practices that may improve health, such as gratitude, prayer or meditation.”

The researchers hope their findings will help with future studies exploring the effect of religion on health.

You obviously never lived in the Latin America.  People there invite their priests to bless their new cars, right there at the car dealerships.
They are extremely religious.  Everything is about God down there.  Venezuela might be an exception.

BTW, I was raised Catholic and can tell you that Jesus Christ is their main character.

They all follow the bible, what are you saying lmao, you don't have an argument here, it's clear that a country with a lot of christians doesn't mean a good country, plenty of examples.

Are you saying Catholics don't believe in Jesus Christ? 

Venezuela (89%), Honduras (87%) and El Salvador (80%) are very Christian countries.  Where is CoinCube to point out how Christian values help societies and that without Christianity people would be killing each other in the streets?   Oh, wait, that is what they are doing in those three countries.

In 2011, according to a poll taken by Venezuela’s Social Investigation Group XXI, 71 percent of Venezuelans identified as Catholic.

1944
The dictator Maximiliano Hernández Martínez of El Salvador is ousted by a revolution; the interim government is overthrown five months later by the dictator's former chief of police. The U.S.'s immediate recognition of the new dictator does much to tarnish Roosevelt's Good Neighbor policy in the eyes of Latin Americans.

1960
A new junta in El Salvador promises free elections; Eisenhower, fearing leftist tendencies, withholds recognition. A more attractive right-wing counter-coup comes along in three months.

"Governments of the civil-military type of El Salvador are the most effective in containing communist penetration in Latin America." --John F. Kennedy, after the coup

1968
Gen. José Alberto Medrano, who is on the payroll of the CIA, organizes the ORDEN paramilitary force, considered the precursor of El Salvador's death squads.

1972
U.S. stands by as military suspends an election in El Salvador in which centrist José Napoleón Duarte was favored to win. (Compare with the emphasis placed on the 1982 elections.)

1980
A right-wing junta takes over in El Salvador. U.S. begins massively supporting El Salvador, assisting the military in its fight against FMLN guerrillas. Death squads proliferate; Archbishop Romero is assassinated by right-wing terrorists; 35,000 civilians are killed in 1978-81. The rape and murder of four U.S. churchwomen results in the suspension of U.S. military aid for one month.

The U.S. demands that the junta undertake land reform. Within 3 years, however, the reform program is halted by the oligarchy.

"The Soviet Union underlies all the unrest that is going on." --Ronald Reagan.

1984
U.S. spends $10 million to orchestrate elections in El Salvador-- something of a farce, since left-wing parties are under heavy repression, and the military has already declared that it will not answer to the elected president.

Mara Salvatrucha (MS), also known as MS-13 originated in Los Angeles, set up in the 1980s by Salvadoran immigrants in the city's Pico-Unionneighborhood who immigrated to the United States after the Central American civil wars of the 1980s.[18]
Originally the gang's main purpose was to protect Salvadoran immigrants from other, more established gangs of Los Angeles, who were predominantly composed of Mexicans and African-Americans.[19]

Many Mara Salvatrucha gang members from the Los Angeles area have been deported after being arrested.[20] For example, Jose Abrego, a high-ranking member, was deported four times.[21] As a result of these deportations, members of MS-13 have recruited more members in their home countries.[22] The Los Angeles Times contends that deportation policies have contributed to the size and influence of the gang both in the United States and in Central America.[20] According to the 2009 National Gang Threat Assessment, "The gang is estimated to have 30,000 to 50,000 members and associate members worldwide, 8,000 to 10,000 of whom reside in the United States.[1]

Just one to mention one thing, height doesn't have anything to do with intelligence, like you mentioned in the OP. Unless they are taller because they had better nutrition growing up, which does affect intelligence.

The original studies are old and to my knowledge not available online but a summary can be found here.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_Terman

UN has been consistently wrong about this.

It is not my estimate. It is math.

Global population growth rate oscillates between 1-2%.

Look up "doubling time" or "rule 72".

The rough formula for doubling time is:
70 divided by the growth rate.

If the global population growth rate stays at 1% the population will double in 70 years no matter what anybody thinks.

If the rate goes back up to 2%, the population will double in 35 years.

There is nothing to argue.  The only thing you can do is to try to estimate the growth rate.

Moving less educated people from less educated countries (Africa, Middle-East, Latin America where the average IQ is around 85 or lower) to more affluent countries will increase the global growth rate not decrease it.  

I think the global growth rate will stay above 1% for some time.  Unless some major diseases kick in and increase the death rates.

In one doubling time, there will be 1 person per 10,000 square meters.  In five doubling times, there will be 1 person per 625 square meters (~6700 sq ft) LOL.

You think humanity will survive five doubling times here on Earth?

PS. It looks like we are going to reach 8 billion in 2022-2023.

I did not mean to say that you are a flat Earther.  You are "an infinite Entity that influences everything on Earth" believer.  Just as irrational as
the flat Earther.  Sorry about the confusion.

"Straw man arguments" are utilized in debates to undermine the opposition. If you want to take the high road–and debate more effectively in the process–utilize the "steel man" argument.

Contrary to some common misinterpretations, a straw man is employed when one side on an argument creates a false narrative and then argues with that, instead of the point a person actually made.
...
The "steel man" is the opposite approach. As writer Robin Sloan explains, the steel man requires a debater to find the best form of her opponent's argument and then argue with this. Explain what you think your opponent means to them, ask them if they agree this is what they mean, and then argue with that. This is a tougher debate tactic because it allows for fewer shady arguments, but the result is a stance that holds up to scrutiny:

Income is only one factor.  The education level is probably a more significant factor that affects the birth rates.

Humanity would be better off if the birth rates were just above or equal to the death rates, i.e. if the population growth would be close to zero.

Pollution, wars, depleting resources come to mind.  The global population should not be growing at 1%, it should be more like 0.001%.  It would give us enough time to develop technology to search for a new home, outside of Earth.  Population doubling every 70 years will make this much more difficult.

Firm in the belief they are representatives of the world’s ‘moral superpower,’ the Swedish people continue their dangerous flirtation with every new cultural experiment under the sun. Is this really ‘progressive’ politics, or is it the road to national ruin?


In Sweden, everything seems possible except for dissent; dissent from the ubiquitous social message that tells its citizens they must be tolerant of every new cultural fad – from getting micro-chipped under the skin to allowing four-year-olds to be indoctrinated in preschool with the newfangled concept of transgenderism.

Thousands of Swedes have already been implanted with tiny microchips, typically inserted in the left hand, that will allow them the ‘convenience’ of no longer fumbling around for their credit cards, identification, keys. Much of their personal information is stored on the chip, which is about the size of a piece of rice.

Amazingly, despite the potential for the government, corporations or other powerful entity to hack into these devices, that possibility never seems to enter Swedish discourse.

“Swedes have gone on to be very active in microchipping, with scant debate about issues surrounding its use, in a country keen on new technology and where the sharing of personal information is held up as a sign of a transparent society,” AFP notes.

Although the amount of data each chip can hold is currently limited, most technologies begin with humble origins before they eventually exert tremendous influence over their human ‘masters.’ The hand-held telephone is a great example. Beginning as a convenient method of communication, the ‘smart phone’ has now gone on to literally conquer the social and cultural domain. The next step may be the realm when, as predicted by former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, the “internet disappears.”

'There will be so many IP addresses...so many devices, sensors, things that you are wearing, things that you are interacting with that you won't even sense it,' he told an audience at the 2015 World Economic Forum in Davos.


Sweden, which has managed to avoid a major war for so long it may feel itself invincible, has willfully volunteered to serve as a guinea pig for the brave new technology, which many believe will herald in mankind’s total enslavement to the ‘system.’

Sweden’s cultural experimentation does not end with the microchip. In the realm of human behavior and sexuality it is also breaking down long-established barriers with its willingness to embrace the transgender movement.

First, full disclosure. My personal opinion on transgenderism (which in a nutshell says that the determination of an individual’s sex is based on an artificial ‘social construct’ and possible to change if only the individual wills it) is that it is largely a media-induced mass phenomenon, bordering on mass hysteria. After all, how is it possible that such a radical change in human behavior – which says that a man can be a woman (and vice-versa) so long as he “identifies” with that sex – when such a thing was absolutely unheard of less than a decade ago? Man has been evolving for millions of years and only today we hear about people being able to dream up a 'sexual identity'? The only explanation is that it was basically concocted out of the blue and pumped into the public realm on a daily basis until it was accepted as gospel. Which proves that the masses will happily assume any story as truth if it is repeated enough times.

In any case, as long as this new sexual identification (there are said to be over 60 different gender types today) remained confined to the realm of the adult world, and did not violate the rights of others (in the US during the Obama era, this was arguably not the case, as grown men who suddenly ‘identified’ as a woman, were legally permitted to use the women’s bathrooms and changing facilities, thereby posing a risk to women and children), then the phenomenon could be considered mostly innocuous.

But as with every new cultural curiosity that arises, Sweden has taken transgenderism to the extremes, to the point where it tolerates pre-schools approaching children as if they were ‘gender neutral’ freaks of nature.In this bizarre world of real-life make believe, Swedes have been addressing each other with the gender neutral pronoun “hen” since 2015.


Swedish schools also carry so-called ‘forward thinking’ books, like “Hästen & Husse,” which tells the story of a man who dresses up like a woman. His friend horse, apparently no less confused, is a “trans-species” that likes to run around the house imagining he is a dog.

With this sort of absolute insanity in the air, is it any wonder that the dazed and emasculated Swedish population allowed its government, nudged along by the financial clout of George Soros, to throw open the gates to scores of illegal Middle Eastern and African migrants, many of them escaping from NATO-led conflicts?    

Today, while Swedish schools are promoting gender neutral role models to their children, very male migrant gangs are making some parts of Sweden practically off limits to the general population. Paramedics and firefighters sometimes need police escorts before entering ‘vulnerable areas’, particularly in some neighborhoods of Malmo, Sweden’s third largest city.

As The Spectator reported, “the gang wars serve as a constant reminder of Sweden’s failed migration and integration policies. This is a problem for the government (and even the opposition) in a country that prides itself on being a ‘humanitarian superpower.’”

Despite the lawlessness on the streets, support for the far-right, anti-immigration Sweden Democrats party reportedly dropped to its lowest level since surging during the migration crisis of 2015.

In light of these seemingly unsustainable trends in this ‘progressive’ Nordic nation, one must ask the question: How long can the cultural experiments continue before the laboratory burns down?

PS. I'm just being entertained.  I feel like I am talking to a small child, but I'm being sincere to point out the fallacies in you logic to lead you out of your madness.  I tried to do the same thing with CoinCube...

JULIAN ASSANGE, the founder of WikiLeaks and apparently an amateur demographer, is worried about Europe’s declining birth rate. In a recent tweet he posited that “Capitalism + atheism + feminism = sterility = migration”, and noted that the leaders of Britain, France, Germany and Italy are all childless.
...
Mr Assange’s tweet echoed sentiments expressed by RT (formerly Russia Today), a Kremlin-backed news organisation. Russian propagandists have long argued that the West’s declining fertility rate is evidence of its decline. A recent RT editorial claimed that “Europe has been committing protracted demographic suicide for several decades.”
...
Birth rates are indeed highly correlated with national income. But the fertility rates of many European countries are lower than would be expected if GDP per person were the only factor that mattered. Romania, for instance, has 1.5 births per adult woman. Based purely on its level of economic development, that figure would be expected to be around 2.1.
...
To try to distinguish the impact of each, The Economist tested their relationships with fertility rates across different countries. To measure religious observance, we used survey data from the Pew Research Centre, a think-tank. Levels of capitalism or feminism are harder to quantify, but an economic-liberty index produced by the Heritage Foundation, another think-tank, and a gender-equality index from the UN Development Programme may serve as proxies...Both gender equality and the share of population that is irreligious did seem to play a part.

What about if your neighbors are a gay couple who adopted two Christian boys and dressed them as girls.  They also sublet to a group transvestites who go door to door to sell women's underwear and lipstick.  One time you saw your gay neighbors make out right in front of your house. They also burned bunch of bibles in their backyard (they called the fire department to warn them about the yard garbage fire).

Your son goes to the same school as the two boys and fell in love with one of them.  He told you that he will marry one of them.

They also have a nice statue of Jesus sitting on a massive cock made out of wood surrounded by the village people Apostles in their backyard.

Your other neighbor is a swinger couple who host swinger's parties in their backyard.  They keep inviting you to their parties to bang some hot 20 year olds with massive boobs but you keep refusing, you dream about it, but instead you go and read the bible with your wife.

1. What does the Bible say how to deal with your neighbors?
2. What would the people in the ancient Israel do to your neighbors after reading the Bible?

You are better off with any other book.

As for God telling you what the moral standard is, be careful, hearing God is a sign of insanity.
