How long did the withdrawal symptoms last, and how bad were they?

I was pretty angry and irritable for a solid 6-8 weeks before I started chilling out.

 I quit 13 years ago and I'm angrier and more irritable than ever.  I'm pretty sure i'm also dumber but dont let that sway your decision to quit smoking;  you'll be better for it.

Im probably leaving the market within a week in my final distribution. AMA
Is this humour?
if yes - haha
if no - why leave?
Its 10 time less profitable to trade in these kinds of conditions so its an optimal time to reduce the risk of holding funds on exchanges and take a break from the immense stress, risk, and sleep disruption of trading. Also I am now financially set for 2 decades and have chronic illness. If I decide to go after money again and may be via a business or software project like making a new coin or an exchange and possibly not via trading.
Thanks for clarifying. Very best of luck.
(A server hosting company/ISP that one could actually trust would make a lot of money.)
You said AMA, but this is sheer nosiness: what chronic illness?

I seem to remember lyme disease.

Not to get personal or anything..
Some kind of slow polyneuropathy like what happens when you have diabetes. According to ILADS doctors and their alternative testing its lyme and/or bartonella but it might be something else. I also had vitamin B6 toxicity and I have a list of other things I wont share. 2 years ago I was the epitome of health and was running 10Ks

 I dont mean to pry but I'm curious about the B6 toxicity.  I'm assuming you must have been using supplements in order to hit toxic levels but since it is a water soluable vitamin and you were doing long distance running, you could have taken much more than the recommeneded daily allowance without any ill effects.  Most oral B6 supplements are in the range or 50-250 mg  which is 25-125 times the RDA (athletes and body-builders could still require those amounts).  How much were you taking and for how long?  Were you injecting?  Ive alwas been under the impression that it would be nearly impossible to hit toxic levels of the water-soluable vitamins.

Don’t sell it all.   Leave a small, inconsequential stash on a hardware wallet and forget you own it.  Forget for 10 years, until 2028.  

You can thank me later.  Much later.  

I'm not even confident that I will make it 10 more years. Already signed up for AARP membership.  Cry When the  impending financial Armageddon comes that r0ach warns us about, maybe I'll be a candidate for euthanasia rather than slavery.  Cheesy

It’s one of the things that living in the UK is shit for, not being able to carry a gun. WHEN bitcoin moon’s I’m moving to the US & will amass a huge Arsenal of weapons for shit’s & gigs.

To wit, this is one of the reasons I legally conceal carry whenever I leave the house. There are enough people IRL that know what I'm (approximately) worth, and I consider concealed (or open) carrying as insurance against a possible $5 wrench-attack.

In my countys news, like an hour ago, they told us that even common objects like a pen are good to defend against an attacker with a knife, can you belive that? Good luck, lol. Can't make that shit up.

Or were they talking about a pen shot from a gun?  Grin

  Tactical pen;  made from titanium and fitted with a thumb grip... Reasonably priced too!

Once you have more than you can carry it is time to diversify.

I can carry one hell of a lot of BTC.

the last time I tried to carry 2K OzT I pulled something in my back.

 It's 'cause you got too greedy and went with the Troy system.  See, if you had gone with the Avoirdupois system that would have been a manageable weight for short hauls.  Hope it wasn't silver.... The value of that woudnt have covered your medical bills!

ok i applied that its now horizontal, but i had to ad an empty image because the first image was shown smaller than the others

In the code of the first image you need to add this line:

Code:
[color=transparent]aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa[/color]

The text line (aaa...) must be longer than the width of the image. The width of your first picture is 185px.

All the code will look like this.

Code:
[table]
[tr]
[td]
[img]image1[/img]
[color=transparent]aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa[/color]
[/td]
[td]
[img]image2[/img]
[/td]
[td]
[img]image3[/img]
[/td]
[/table]

ok it worked, but it created an uncontrolled space i added now space to all images and it looks ok

I think they are trying to seduce those nerdy ugly looking guys and hoping to give them Bitcoins for exchange of?Huh

 No nerdy guy is ever going to get close enough to that to scan that QRcode unless his mother helps him.  At any rate, Bitcoin is not the right thing to be depositing in there.

Ban from posting for so many days... I don't actually know what evil have I really done, but still I paid the BTC and I can post now! Cheers!

 You paid BTC for the privilege to post again before you figured out what not to do?  Sounds wasteful... good luck.

BBC Radio 4 investigation being broadcast now, into Mt Gox / BTCE and the 'biggest Bitcoin theft ever'.

Fun if you can get it where you are (not sure if it's easy outside the UK).  But some interesting interviews including Karpeles.

How on earth does a person with a speech impediment get a job in radio?

Is this some demented form of affirmative action?

Thought experiment. Two tribes, the northern herders and the southern herders. The northern herders, the collectivists, agree to live according to the common good, such that no man would starve in time of plenty. The southern herders, the individualists, agree to live according to individual rights. A man may go hungry in the south, but all community action is voluntary on principle. Is there any sensible way in which one tribe can be called more moral than the other? Is there some metamorality by which we can make sense of this?

 You kids!  Always looking for inventive ways to get others to do your homework.

Last block is more than half an hour ago already Huh
or is it normal?

 Why don't you look back through a block explorer to answer this question for yourself?  The average block time is 10 minutes by design. This is normal for any Poisson distribution.
5255  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: public key assignment on: March 03, 2018, 04:11:10 PM
so if one generates the public/private key using an online service, doesn't that mean his/her identity is not anonymous anymore, at least to the law enforcement, because the online service must have his/her IP address?

even if one generate the key pair by running a node him/herself, the IP address should be known to the other nodes on the network, right?

in this regard, how could someone use bitcoin as a mean for illicit activities?

 


Your online wallet better use client side encryption so the server will never see your private keys.  If it doesn't, you haven't done your homework.

 


Roger Ver, a “Bitcoin Angel Investor & Evangelist”, once released the name and address of a BitcoinStore.com customer on a public forum, and then used his administrative privileges on Blockchain.info to lookup this person’s IP address, phone number, and other personal information using the customer’s Bitcoin address — all of which ended up being posted on the forum as well. Why? Because the BitcoinStore accidentally refunded an extra $50 worth of bitcoins to the customer, and the customer didn’t return the extra coins. Roger owns BitcoinStore.com. Presumably, he felt posting the customer’s details would help identify the customer to other merchants… or maybe it was to just settle a score.

If everyone runs his/her own node and generate private and public key pair for him/her self, then yes, no others know his/her private key.

But for people who generate the public/private key pair online through a wallet or some kind of key generating services, i.e., without running his/her own node.  Doesn't that mean whoever generated the key for him/her, the generator has the private key as well?  That's why I used the PIN code for the debt card as an example.
 


So if any individual node can create a public and private key pair, that particular node should know my private key, right?  And there is no way to change the private key.

If a bank gave its customer the PIN for debit card and told he/her that he/she could not change it, everyone would fear for the security of the money in that account, right?
I’m not sure what you’re getting at here. Any node can, and indeed does, create their own key pairs, but they must always keep their private keys secret. The number of available key combinations is such that for all practical purposes, private keys are unguessable. So you’re the only one who should know your private key.

As for your card example: FWIW, the credit and debit cards I’ve used have usually come with a preset PIN that I have not had any means to change. But payment cards are different from bitcoins in that you also need the actual card; you cannot make purchases from my account by knowing just my PIN. Additionally, if someone at my bank would abuse their knowledge of my PIN code, they would stand a good chance of being caught, and the transactions would probably be reversed in any case if I could prove the charges to be fraudulent.

Bitcoin transactions, however, are anonymous and non-repudiable. Anyone who knows your private key can instantly transfer your bitcoins to their address, and investigators can’t easily ‘follow the money’. This means that if your private key is compromised, you’re likely to lose all balances associated with that key, and you will have very slim hopes of ever catching the perpetrator. There is also no central authority that would be able to nullify fraudulent bitcoin transactions.

Some monster bear markets in pabolictrav's predictions there.

If the pattern holds, we'll go to 100K this year, then have brutal bear market with a bottom <$20K. Ouch!


There will be oceans of blood in the streets.

5258  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: March 02, 2018, 02:43:50 PM
It's a hell of a fight between bears and bulls now, 11K is a real pain in the ass

But usually the volume to decrease some more in the weekend, so expecting the price to drop a bit to 10K, we won't be seeing 11k in the weekend i think.

10,8k again

and now the weekend dump....

Probably below 10k soon and the cycle continues.

Should I go back in the thread and quote all the people how said bitcoin would be risen again in March?

 That would make it seem as though you're gloating.  Anyway its early March; let's not give up on it already.

Though I will say if a lead guitar break is well thought out ,arranged and  melodically slick,

 it can add substance
to the track, especially maybe for the middle eight.

David Gilmore of Pink Floyd for one was a master at this.

But mindless shredding to show off ones playing speed? oh perleeeze!

Leave that for the Spinal Tap metal head moroons holding lighters over their heads, I'll pass thank you...

Absolutely. Strong melodies are what most audiences want to hear, not noodling nor technique wanking.

 I agree... most of the time.   I did however buy Eric Johnson's - Ah Via Musicom CD after hearing Cliffs of Dover once.  Wink  A lot of wanking in there.

Woke up. Not sure what day it was.

Rick texted me and is totally fucking jelly that I'm a free man.

Already on beer #4.

Think I'm going to take a nap after this beer.

Fuck this downward-sideways bullshit. $11k is being a whore.

This is how they deal with the dips of bitcoin in china Embarrassed
