fud.

this was probably meant as a joke, but i wholeheartedly support this idea. at least it would make it fun and interesting.

i guess i am just uninspired by all of the offerings in this area. you'd think that would be a good thing, right? the thing is, i suspect the OP's offering will be similarly uninspired. Lips sealed

people are best off charting on TV or Sierra and just keeping tabs on fundamental news IMO....
5222  Economy / Reputation / Re: Why so much Drama For QS and not for TC? on: September 23, 2015, 06:23:29 PM
I am just curious why is there so much drama going on the thread for Quickseller and not for Tomatocage?
They did the same mistake but TC has still so much +ve trust and QS has so many -ve.
Is it because QS lied about getting banned from the forum?

imo, because a lot of people suspect Quickseller of having much shadier intentions. can't say one way or the other for sure. BUT his whole forum history does show: trying to achieve "trusted member" status in a very short time (and manipulating the trust system to do so), painstaking efforts to remain anonymous. this type of behavior should be viewed as suspicious. i don't think Tomatocage has ever warranted that kind of scrutiny.

took a quick look. this impartial observer's opinion: the post history definitely makes the account look like someone's alt account. the ratio of shill posts: any other posts is very high. shill alt account. book it.
5224  Economy / Speculation / Re: Increasing number of early adopters cashing out. on: September 23, 2015, 06:17:30 PM
It's a bad time to cash out though. They should hold till the next bull wave.
That's what I am saying, IF there is no bull run and we fall back to single digits because Bitcoin XT has won, the bagholders will start jumping from windows....

because Bitcoin XT has won? what's XT got to do with it?

i think the release of XT was just like any other fundamental catalyst, that moved the market the way it was going to move anyway. imo we are still probably in the long term down trend from dec 2013. need to retest the lows or make new lows from the looks of it.

I am wondering if taking what miners think into consideration about what the market needs is not something ever more retarded and autistic...

Thanks to you and all the autistic geeks, bitcoin will soon be added to that list: http://saleshq.monster.com/news/articles/2655-the-20-worst-product-failures

don't fret, my friend. no need to refer to "thinking people" as "autists" and if you think bitcoin will fail -- don't let the door hit you on the way out. plenty of alt coins out there. go out and have a look.

As for escrow, I am open to suggestions. 

if Lebron James cypherdoc is off the table, might i suggest Quickseller?

sounds fun but too drawn out for my taste. i prefer a quick fix, like day trading. Tongue
5227  Economy / Speculation / Re: Analysis never ends on: September 23, 2015, 05:59:46 PM
Drawing a trend line in that manner is nonsense because as long as the current price is higher than some other price in the past there will always be a possibility to do that.  The empirical extrapolation power of a trend line is proportional to how closely it follows the actual price. Doing that at price extrema you then get the worst possible one you can draw.
In other words a trend line only makes sense if it appears the price tries to "stick" to it, otherwise it's useless to do it.

I suppose, if it is "nonsense" lies in the eye of the beholder. Am certainly interested in some of your interpretations/examples of the current situation/trend.

not much a "trend" at the moment. more like choppy/whipsaw range.

the trouble with trend lines and moving averages in choppy (ie trendless) price action is they just aren't effective.

No, go away.

we need a "thumbs up" emoticon for times like these.

But then what? cypherdoc as the escrow?! ^^

jgarzik suggests in his talk that Fidelity investment company has a beta bitcoin project which it is cannot turn on, because it would "max out" bitcoin capacity and future capacity growth is unknown


thanks for the video. it makes clear that capacity of the network now is not enough

sure, i think that is widely accepted, by those who likely include Adam Back and Nick Szabo. the "small blockean" misnomer is just that. the question is how, and it was pretty clear that XT/BIP101 was a dangerous route.

From Mike Hearn's reply to coinwallet.eu:
Quote
We know that the address on your website is fake but consider this: you have a large footprint. You have a website, have been talking to the media, have been posting to reddit and are running Bitcoin nodes on the network. If you have made just one mistake that means people can find you, and if you live in a part of the world with a non-joke legal system, then you are very possibly going to end up in prison. You can't argue your way out of it as you seem to think you can.

lol, classic Mike Hearn. threaten people with prison.

5234  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you know what blood type you are? on: August 13, 2015, 10:13:42 PM
I don't. I think most people don't, and I think it's something that should be on a driver's license or birth certificate, or something.

if you really need blood transfusion, i'm pretty sure bloody type is quickly and easily determined when you are brought to the hospital. no experience there, but i have to assume.....
5235  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you look for advice on this site? on: August 13, 2015, 10:11:54 PM
I wouldn't even look for advice on this site about bitcoins (aside from technical support for wallets, mining). Listening to this forum last year would have had you buying bitcoin all last year through a brutal downtrend. Tongue
Really? What would you say the total atmosphere was like on this forum?

it's just like the market. everybody was bullish because of the 2013 bubble. but then.....price just kept dropping......and people kept saying buy. now, people are more bearish. so it's probably a better time to buy. Cheesy
5236  Other / Off-topic / Re: how much do you make, trading every week ? on: July 06, 2015, 06:36:47 AM
Ah, this is starting to sound like the Tradingview chat -- where apparently, 100% of traders make money 100% of the time. Probably even more actually, if you could believe it! Tongue
August/September 2014 I lost ~20k USD in trading. Not afraid to admit. Still survived and well in the positives.

There is only one bottom line in trading and that bottom line is how much money you make.
I have stress every single second. Not everybody can survive.

ah, a realistic, grounded response. how unexpected!

i've paid my "tuition" as well..... made a boatload on dumb luck when i entered bitcoin, and got battered up trading in early 2014. learned a lot since then, moved into forex and some commodities/futures and am doing okay now.

as for weekly profit.... it depends. i don't trade full time. but i'd put it at 1-4 BTC or $250-1000 per week.
5237  Other / Off-topic / Re: how much do you make, trading every week ? on: July 05, 2015, 05:25:43 AM
depends. we've been lacking volatility, so i've been focusing on other things (and other markets) than bitcoin. but on a good week, 1 - 10 BTC. on a bad week, -0.5 - 2.5 BTC. i manage my risk pretty well in general.
5238  Other / Off-topic / Re: Which beer do you prefer ? on: July 04, 2015, 07:44:09 PM
Budweiser

big MEH there.

lagers not my thing really. if i want a weak beer, i grab a wheat ale of a goose island honker's ale. or an abita purple haze.

whoever said barley wine, big thumbs up. i usually like my beer strong and hoppy..... racer 5 IPA, sierra nevada pale, lagunitas IPA.... i drink those regularly. good beer.
