OP is long gone now... I wonder what was his actual nickname. For some reason his account was deleted. I remember hearing the story about it a long time ago and it was interesting... pretty much an story of going from rach to riches then disappearing. I think he did the right thing, considering that back in the day the community was very small and it would have been easier to track his money. If he was a very early adoptor he must have tons of money by now, a millionaire for sure. I dont have that problem since im poor, but if I was rich I would have done the same.
You can still see his real name in the quotes on the first page: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=12156.msg169765#msg169765It was Atlas, he was quite a character... those were the days ;-) they were... days, at any rate. (not that i was around...) |

i've been away for months dealing with, you know, life. but i've kept an eye on the price. seems like a steady climb this time, not any sort of real sudden climb. maybe we'll hold it this time.  |

what the hell caused the climb out of the 400's? i'm so out of touch it's ridiculous...
Demand was greater than supply. And supply is about to get cut in half  while i get that, at a basic level, that's always the cause, usually there's something else going on that caused the demand to spike. some announcement or something. was it really nothing specific this time? ...trippy. i figured we'd be stable until the halving cause of all the "consensus" bull. but then, as i said, i'm way out of touch. then again, as i look at it, halving is only about 40 days away. that's enough, i suppose. |

Its gone through a ton of testing and will be secure when it rolls out in April. It's not coming out in April. It's gonna be June/July release. i'll believe it when i see it. |

I installed block chain in my phone, and sent that much to my phone, and I lost my phone.
this one may not count, technically. i mean, its a safe bet that it's gone, but in the most precise sense, the phone is not with you, but the phone, with the private key, is with someone. thus, not lost. |

oh hey, we cleared that stamp wall at 414!

the price keeps on falling, i hope that soon everything will change and the price will rocket to the sky, also i guess that ethereum price rise is just some kind of a pump and bitcoin is the only crypto that has the bright future actually, it seems as though the most recent drop is over and the price is actually climbing again. looking at the 1 hour stamp chart, it's been averaging an increase the past few hours. |

so much for all that "we have consensus" bull, eh? sigh.

Honestly, I'd rather just be posting memes and gifs while celebrating the halving, confident about growth after having added some modest capacity...
WRT Blockstream... it wasn't until after Scaling HK, when gmax's email to the mailing list literally became the Core roadmap, with no hard fork increase in sight, that the pieces began clicking into place. Others had already described the whole thing as a charade and a stalling tactic, but I was actually hoping for some kind of unifying plan, I should and do feel silly for that now.
Soft fork segwit as a "scaling solution" bifurcates the capabilities of full nodes without their knowledge or permission, completely changes fee economics with favoritism to settlement transactions, and apparently is having mysterious chain forks on its testnet a month before deployment... while being sold as the safe and "ready" option. [Shrugs] The pieces certainly haven't stopped fitting yet.
well, they can't exactly force us to upgrade our clients. i'm very much a "wait a see" kind of guy. if the release of segwit comes and things go kaboom, there will still be a record of how things were before that. if it's really bad, it's technically possible to revert to the pre-forked version and carry on, i think. of course, "technically possible" and "easy" or even "kinda doable" are vastly different things, and frankly i might be talking total bullshit anyway. i'm not totally clear on the whole "soft fork" thing. |

why do people make these mistakes. cause this is not the first time nor the highest i have seen ~100BTC fee too, and there is no way someone makes this mistake while using a bitcoin wallet with an interface!
are they doing it by hand, like a code they edited to sign TX like in bot?!
quite possibly. heck, it could have been a bot entirely doing the trade for all we know. |

in the past when such has occurred, it was due to someone doing some custom client stuff and making a mistake, or so they said. unless the sender comes forward here, we'll never know.
reversible? nope.
