There was no soft-fork for the 250kB default block-size limit.
Currently the fees are very, very, very far from being anywhere near of an amount sufficient to secure the network.
We're all having a free lunch right now, due to coins still being minted, but if that was to stop tomorrow, the network would be in an extremely shitty state.
But shouldn't the goal be to encourage activity and number of txs, so those small fees could cumulate into more significant rewards? |

Transactions don't happen magically. As the former poster stated, you've prolly been hacked through some sort of keylogger and whatnot. Sad to see.
He's prolly not been hacked, as he himself stated that he didn't lose a single satoshi. As the former posters stated, it's prolly the issue of change addresses. |

They object because they are worried andreas might pull the jedi mind tick he pulled on the canadian senate. Lol, yeah, he proved to have a talent of convincing people that the 'evil bitcoin' is actually not that evil. |

Andreas is summoned for Ulbrich's defense? I don't think it's a good idea. I am not certain Ulbrich is innocent or guilty, but Andreas working against the prosecution will put Andreas in an awkard position.
Why is that? He was invited only as an expert on Bitcoin, all they want is his knowledge of the subject. And I'm guessing Andreas must have agreed before the defense made a formal request. Or maybe they just tried to drag him in to get some publicity? |

Time to get some popcorn out ?
Too soon for popcorn, it hasn't been agreed yet. On the side note, it seems to be nice niche for 'bitcoin experts'. There are bitcoin scams/thefts/extortions all over the world, most of law enforcers/prosecutors will struggle to find relevant expertise. |

In reference to the single image posts, there is currently nothing in the rules that state that single image posts are not allowed. Therefore there is no reason why single image posts should be excluded (unless they are in a thread that is otherwise excluded).
...
Doesn't matter whether it's a text, single image, gif or whatever. Posts must be constructive. Period. What is constructive and what isn't is subjective, and in every sig campaign (that pays for post) it's down to campaign manager to decide. True, and therefor I made the discussion easier because it would end up in an endless discussion otherwise: One of the rules: Those who post the majority of their posts in a few days then stop posting will be denied payment Number 1 poster LOBSTER did 466 in the first 6 days. Period. So to make it clear. You've accepted that some of your posts were not counted and now your goal is to get Lobster kicked out from campaign or get his earning reduced? Do I get this right? Is this what you're trying to do? |

What is constructive and what isn't is subjective, and in every sig campaign (that pays for post) it's down to campaign manager to decide. You shouldn't expect the manager to go through every single post of every participant and evaluate on its constructiveness every time someone feels mistreated. That's practically impossible and not gonna happen. If you don't feel your input is appreciated, switch campaigns. It's that simple. I personally think that a lot of posts from some of the top 10 posters (don't want to point fingers) are far from being 'constructive', and if those were excluded I would likely made it to the top 10. But I do realise that it's close to impossible to evaluate every post in proper context. |

Currently you need in invitation key to register, any idea when this is going to open up to the public?
Some time after they payout the missing $5000 ? Give them a break, they're only 2 months late At least they finally removed it from the website... That's some progress |

OK, I haven't been following the subject lately. Can anyone please help me with quick summary and answer the below? 1 - Has the 'general agreement' on the proposed changes been reached, or is it still an open-subject? 2 - Is the 461mb block size (shown in the doc) by 4 June 2024 the final size (hard-cap) or will it be ever-growing? https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CuOEM9uwO5w-RwWGCCZpVGVFwhHHHegxJZqTP5KyapI/edit?usp=sharing3 - Are the proposed changes entirely dependent on belief that bandwidth and storage capacities will expand continuously for ever? 4 - Are there plans to implement the reduction of the blockchain size along with the max-block size fork? |

BCNext was the only Nxt dev during IPO, he is long gone.

Let me answer this with a quote: SEC is not that stupid as some people hope. |

What to watch out for since the hack:
(1) When you withdraw funds in USD from Bitstamp, expect bank fees + withdrawal fees to now exceed 0.3%. Bitstamp refuses to "investigate" these outrageously high fees, or to state any position whatsoever. In fact, if you ask any questions, they want to CHARGE you 30 before they will do anything. This happened twice in a row for me, so this is obviously not a one-time thing.
...
? They tried to charge you 30 just for answering question? I don't use BitStamp, don't have much sympathy for them, but I find it hard to believe. And what do you mean they refused to investigate their own fees. The fees may be high, but if they charge them as agreed, there's nothing to investigate. The official withdrawal fee is 0.09%, and in theory the intermediary bank in the US might charge a fixed fee, of, say $20 plus perhaps an additional 0.05%. Including Bitstamp's fee, in my case I was charged $373 to withdraw $120K. Such high fees do not occur in normal banking transactions. But Bitstamp's customer service said that I would have to agree to pay another 30 (their "bank charge") before they would ask the bank to justify this charge. When I asked them if they considered this bank charge to be reasonable, Marko in customer service refused to answer the question. From the FAQ on their website: Not regarding to withdrawal method, a fee will be displayed before executing the withdrawal and deducted from amount. SEPA withdrawals are charged with fixed 0.90 fee once your funds are converted to EUR. Minimum amount for SEPA withdrawal is $10.00. International withdrawals are charged with 0.09% fee, minimum fee is $15.00. Minimum amount for international withdrawal is $50.00. So you've definitely been overcharged. You can pay and then threat them with legal dispute. They're UK registered and by UK law they need to properly inform you about any fees. BTW do they provide any receipts with all the fees shown? |

The genesis sale has absolutely nothing to do with investing in company (ETHEREUM SWITZERLAND GMBH or its subsidiaries)
SEC is not that stupid as some people hope. Aren't they? Have they chased down NXT devs for their little IPO yet? |

Everyone knows that annual inflation in 5 billion was added to keep the miners and our network was strong, but it didn't work. The next step was the merger of mining Litecoin and that's great, now we are confident in the safety and strength of our network. I think that now would be reasonable to refuse a permanent inflation 5 billion coins or make it less, for example 1.2 billion(100 million per month). This measure will make our Dogecoin more attractive!
Agree. I would be in favour of reducing the final block reward by half by introducing another halving. It shouldn't do much damage to the hashing power and could have some positive effect on the price. |

Exactly I don't understand that much about Ethereum, but I havent researched it much.
Where can I find information about this Ethereum company in Switzerland, which controls this project?
People have invested in this company, received what? Units / Shares? (Ether?)
31,000 BTC got invested in this company as far as I know, right?
Is Ether to be understood rather as coin or (network) token?
How much money was collected with the ether-sale?
How much ether is there in total?
The genesis sale has absolutely nothing to do with investing in company (ETHEREUM SWITZERLAND GMBH or its subsidiaries) Terms of sale are stated here: https://www.ethereum.org/pdfs/TermsAndConditionsOfTheEthereumGenesisSale.pdfand here: https://www.ethereum.org/pdfs/EtherProductPurchaseAgreement.pdf |

Not sure.. Well.. maybe they wanted to use something which do not require physical contact or personal information.
They pretty much control huge part of land, you can say they've got their own country. I don't think they'd be concerned about physical contact or personal info. And as per article, they would use bitcoin to raise USD (or other fiat). I hope most people will see right through those bullshit news. Couple of comments from the RT site: come on, even a kid knows US and saudi was funding ISIS for a long time, just until ISIS got hold of that oil fields. I don't think they have time to sit around the computers and look for bitcoins to come in Just so they can buy that new nissan car and AK 47. A surprising news would be "ISIS commanding officer decides to come out and ITS OBAMA!!!" now That, IS a news It's ALL about keeping the petrodollar and getting rid of Bitcoin which is a serious threat to the central banks . I knew that they would pull these lies out of their demonic little think tanks . So bitcoin is being used to fund terrorists that USA setup to get rid of Assad? Well USA shouldn't have setup ISIS then?! |

Hmm.. seem like more and more people are using Bitcoin in a bad way.. ISIS is using bitcoin for recruitment and fundraising reported a an Israeli cyber intelligence analyst.. Read more here - http://rt.com/usa/227703-bitcoin-isis-us-fundraising/. Haaretz newspaper quoted an Israeli analyst who said he traced an ISIS funding website and has uncovered concrete evidence that a terror cell, purporting to be related to the Islamic State is soliciting for bitcoins as part of its fundraising efforts. This is another case of catchy title for an article, but if you read the bottom part: But most importantly, says Gurule, is that the Islamic State, unlike Al-Qaeda, is a self-funding organization and its principal source of funding comes from the sale of oil on the black market. ISIS also receives some money from ransom payments and extortion payments within the territory it controls.
[ISIS] doesnt rely on external sources of funding from sympathetic donors, he said. So, so far we have some related cell asking for bitcoin donations, but no evidence of them receiving a single satoshi. Although this will probably happen sooner or later, such donations will be absolutely irrelevant to total IS funding. |
