Shoe's on the other door now. #justsayin

Did a BCH developer discover the bug and confidentially alert the Core team?

Is the Van Eck the ‘important’ one or is there another on 30 Sept?

I’m confused.  This looks like a great trade.  Except I would be moving the stop up right now.

Fake volume. Most of the volume on CMC is fake.

Have there been any projects working toward combining lightning and hosting data/bandwidth? Like "pay me 1 satoshi/Mb per day or I drop your data".

Even if it’s encrypted, how do you trust a third party random to reliably host your data?

With enough 'third parties' (AKA storage nodes), and an erasure coding layer, this is a solved problem. How do you think Google, Amazon, et al do it? It is not by guaranteeing unlimited uptime for any individual storage node. It is by making the reliability of each individual storage node irrelevant, by employing intelligent redundancy in a layer above the hardware.


Define ‘enough’ third parties under the following constraints:

  • you must pay each member of ‘enough’ to be a reliable host  
  • the sum of all payments to ‘enough’ must be significantly less than the pittance currently paid to AWS / Azure for storage  
  • the hardware and internet connectivity provider by members of ‘enough’ is best described as a ‘mixed bag'  
  • members of‘enough’ include 11 year olds, Billy Bob and itinerant sex workers.

I invested in Maidsafe about a thousand years ago. They promised something like that. Now with LN, I think it could be possible to do with BTC (save the hash of the data on the blockchain, or OP_RETURN, and have the data hosted on several LN nodes for cheap).

Even if it’s encrypted, how do you trust a third party random to reliably host your data?

 WTF?!
My wife guaranteed me that nobody would get this...  Is that your brother with the tattoos or what?

edit:  That's very close but not exactly where it is... I guess I should have controlled myself.  (I'm a noob at this)

These guys are lethal smart.  



Buried in the middle is a comment that 20% of trades on Coinbase are executed on Coinbase’s own account.

Welp there’s your ATH shorts getting rekt.  This is shit is Groundhog Day.
4556  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: September 18, 2018, 09:12:43 AM
I read on whalepool that shorts were ATH again.  Haven't bothered checking it for myself yet.

Just so we all have our math clear, $100 down to $10 then back up to $100 is -90% followed by +900%.

Nice to see Monero back in the top ten. Could have been there for awhile mind you and I haven’t noticed.

Are you invested in monero?

I am conflicted about Monero.  I love the idea of a truly anonymous currency.  But from an investment point of view, I think their tail emissions policy is flawed.  I know it is only 0.6 XMR per block, but I feel that is enough to have a real impact on supply, meaning that Bitcoin is a far superior long term investment.  

So I watch Monero closely but don't hold any.  I had a fair stack that I sold for Bitcoin at the start of this year.  If I start to feel that Bitcoin is under threat, I might go back to holding some Monero as a hedge.  I held a stack of Monero through the Bcash debacle as a defensive hedge.  
Far more importantly, if you have a few millions set aside and you cash them out to buy, say, a house, the taxman will show up with Questions.

Being below board is simply not worth it in the current culture.

I am not American so not subject to tax on my global income if I stop being a tax resident of my country of residence.  If I ever trigger a retirement event through crypto, I will just move offshore.  All perfectly legal.

Long range price forecast for balance of 2018.
