^^What do they call Whoppers in that crazy language of yours? Anything like German, with those gigantic sausage words? (apparently I'm not the only one to find them obscene, because Google just informed me:
"The German language has lost its longest word thanks to a change in the law to conform with EU regulations. Rindfleischetikettierungsueberwachungsaufgabenuebertragungsgesetz - meaning "law delegating beef label monitoring" - was introduced in 1999 in the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania."

Ha ha, EU outlawed German Cheesy

Looks like Hearns rage quit has failed.  Im guessing another FUD attempt will ocure soon to try and keep price below $500.


These media propaganda stunts (and other arguable creative efforts of spreading BTC FUD) seem to becoming less and less effective...

You're too smart for them; bought @ $1200, like a boss Cool


Yes!!!!!   Exactly!!!!   You are such a wonderful troll to keep track of these kinds of important details to suggest that I bought at $1,200, as if that were the first and last thing that I ever did in bitcoin.  < snip >

Not the last, but, thus far, the funniest. I mean, talk about knee-slappers -- bought @ $1,200, can you imagine? Cheesy
Like meeting the guy who bought the most expensive tulip bulb ever, just before El bubblo popped Cheesy


I will agree with the overall depiction that I bought very near the top, but I did not buy anywhere near the top, regarding various prices available at that particular moment that I bought.  I bought on Localbitcoins, and there were a lot of prices way higher than my buy price (and even within 48 hours on both sides of my buying the 1.24 btc).

Also, surely when you are attempting to look for humor, and you are reading out of context and you are trying to get a bit of a cheap thrill, then yep, you can probably find some humor in that... .. but really, in the end, you are acting pretty childish in your attempts to selectively frame one factor out of many.

Are you able to build a little better case?

Sure:

you are just plain wrong, likely mis-informed by the company you keep. The necessary LN bitcoin TXs that open and close channels will be immediately identifiable by the bitcoin miners who can demand as high fees as they feel necessary to provide their precious adjudication services for the LN. ...

Interesting point. I wonder why they choose not to up their fees now? You should let them in on this cool thing you've just discovered, they might cut you in on teh profitz Huh

I could have copyrighted the use of "satoshi" for the smallest unit when I standardised/named it,
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3574.msg50647#msg50647
that might have been profitable ... but Satoshi deserves all the kudos.

Add copyright law to the list of shit you don't understand,
Regardless, not an answer. Why don't the miners "demand as high fees as they feel necessary to provide their precious adjudication services" now, hmm?

@BlindMayorBitcorn: ignore them, they know nothing of Rod's incisive commentary re. depth vis-a-vis sequential order of cuts!

Any publicity is good publicity is the oxygen bitcoin thrives on ... drug markets, ransomware, volatility, central-bank bitching, infighting, etc, etc haven't stopped the crazy train yet.

You forgot rampant theft (mostly from other bitcoiners), endemic failure, murder (of course, failed -- just like everything else lol), kidnapping and, as always, child porn Smiley

I am the only person on this entire forum where my handle is my actual name. It is trivial to verify that I am not a sockpuppet or an impostor.  Yes, I talk my book. Who doesn't? I make my trading positions known more often than I think is wise.  In short, accusing me of not being me just makes you look foolish.

Thanks for the link. I think that is a very interesting article and I agree that a Rough Consensus attack may be ongoing, as I have said many times.  

Lol @ that "I'a a former Green Beret"  link, didn't click it at first, fully expecting

1) They don't effect the velocity (v). They effect the quantity (M).  So because MV=PQ, a decrease in M MUST be compensated by a proportional increase in V in order for the equation to balance out. If it doesn't, then either price or quantity (or both) on the other side must adjust.

But the quantity of BTC doesn't decrease (it's the sum total of all BTC mined to date). The rate of increase is reduced, but the quantity keeps increasing.

Surely i will not follow Classic with no real devs or a roadmap in place. At this stage, I want core!

At this point I don't particularly care.

578  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin used to do money laundering - will it become a huge problem? on: February 22, 2016, 04:18:31 PM
Argument of Bitcoin being great as a medium for money laundering is totally off. It is like saying that USD or EURO can't be and aren't used for that purpose.
Bitcoin can be used as a currency, which means it can be used in the same way as traditional money - laundering is unfortunately one of these 'unwanted' features.

Caveat: no nearly-anonymous USD or EURO exchanges; no way to send billions of USD or EURO, anywhere in the world, anonymously, for $.04 Smiley

What are you talking about??!

It is all in the code here, like, you know, in the protocol you just cannot change you pedo freak  Kiss

That's right, it's all in the code. Which will change into whatever Core's puppet masters want it to be Smiley



errr, nope. still lots of people not willing to 'upgrade'. dont worry. Smiley




different clients, one protocol, same rules.. isnt that wonderful?

Lol @ not understanding that different clients are different because different rules & that any hard fork will make any client not following it as relevant as BBQ client.

any hard fork would lead to an altcoin with their respective node percentage vs the rest of the clients, sure, but keep diggin while you are at it Smiley


Read the emboldened, again and again, until you begin to understand and die of shame. Or start drooling and nod off, whichever.
But, to entertain your tangent, you're wrong yet again Sad A hard fork followed by majority of hashpower *is*  Bitcoin, by definition.
580  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Satoshi Roundtable Retreat - 70 top Techies & CEOs - What should be covered? on: February 22, 2016, 04:01:44 PM
do you see any points in that list that could be construed as legally binding? Other than block size limit won't be > 4MB when/if it happens?

I don't think any legally binding agreement is likely or even possible.

What we can do is work on things with broad industry buy in and can self enforce them.

For example -- if we agree to a code of conduct that agrees to not trash other tech opinions in the press and some a does....that violator can expect a call from half a dozen other participants saying "whoa, hold on, that's not what we agreed on" .... repeated and willful violations could result in many members of the industry working to reduce the influence of the violator  

I'm talking about the wording of what was "signed." And how it's completely open to interpretation.
In other words, going down the list, point-by-point, starting with the first:
Quote
--We understand that SegWit continues to be developed actively as a soft-fork and is likely to proceed towards release over the next two months, as originally scheduled.
How can this be construed as ....well, anything? As long as it's "likely" that Core changes readme.txt once in a while, everything's copacetic.
I mean, it doesn't say anything about Core actually releasing anything in two months, merely "proceed towards release over the next two months."

Go down the whole list, and you'll find that there is nothing in it that anyone could ever say "whoa, hold on, that's not what we agreed on" to Sad
