My god I just saw for the first time that retarded voting idea they made for the inclusion or exclusion of features for the Bitcoin protocol.

I really hope that many of the statements made by some of the important figures in the Bitcoin space were made in the heat of the moment due to the Hearn's Margin Short Rage Quit and eventually they will realize that ToominCoin has no way to even maintain the code what with their 5 devs vs the legion of Core collaborators.

This is one of the best theories I've come across yet that attempt to explain the recent pumps..

Do you see the pump in China and dump in the West? if the rich Chinese just want to get capital out of China, the price reaction is neutral.

Still interesting possibilities for arb bots.

This moron makes the point of why bitcoin will survive himself lol.
People want a currency that is immune to the constant changing of
Fiat currency and government manipulation. It allows everyone around
the world to connect without having to worry about exchange rates
and fee's.

I find it hilarious that he actually thinks that governments can actually do anything about it.

Stop acting like it's an alt. It's not.

Try spending your XT coins on the real chain after the fork, then try telling yourself it's not an alt when that fails

There is no forks if there is no consensus. If there is a fork by consensus then it becomes the real chain. Is that so hard to understand? Meanwhile I can send you bitcoins from my XT client and your Core client will consider it as valid.

That's not entirely true. Due to the low threshold (75%), the fork could move forward and both chains may continue for some time, and in the end XT could still easily fail. I'd not be spending any coins for quite some time after the fork, should it happen.

You act as if this would happen overnight. If 75% ever happens then it would happen after many months of those miners changing, but near the 75% limit I'm willing to think that the remaining would switch to XT rather quickly to avoid risking being on the worthless fork.

This assumes that XT gets to 75% though, and that's a huge assumption, it might very well be ignored by the miners at large.

I'd be very happy to be able to wire money anywhere in the world, completely free from central control, for only $20. Equally I'll happily accept more centralized methods to transfer money when I'm just buying a chocolate bar.


That discussion many years ago is very educational.  I agree that for services to be built on top of the layer 0 fees would need to be bigger and that tinkering with Bitcoin as is always leads to certain unknowns, but when I read this 20 dollar figure per transaction fee I can't help but feel uncomfortable.

Who would even use Bitcoin at this cost? If only a few fringe cases of people would use btc by then, then who would actually buy bitcoin and at what cost? Would btc come crashing down to a couple of bucks? If that's the case then the 20 dollars would be an important fraction of the actual BTC bought to transact across the world.

Next banking crisis will likely be harder than 2008, especially considering that China isn't growing as fast as it did during the past 15 years.   I question if people will flock to BTC when this happens, I have no idea. I do think that some will, but some will also sell their BTC because they too will be affected either by being laid off or losing their savings in bail-ins.

Swift keeps pushing up. Would like to say I feel bad for those who dumped, but I don't.

Hi,


WBB would like to announce our adoption program we will do for each series of coins, this will be very unique in crypto.

We are the first coin which has adopted wild and rare animals.

As our first unique 1oz silver collector coin features the Tiger and the Snow Leopard, we have adopted a REAL Tiger and Snow Leopard with great thanks to the Wildlife Heritage Foundation www.whf.org.uk.

These two lovely animals form part of the coin and we will report on their progress over time to keep you in the loop. Of course we will sponsor them now and in the future.

We like to show our support this way and how crypto can help these animals. So support WBB and you will support these lovely animals and be a part of their future.

PRINCIPIUM QUIDEM FUTURI - The begin of the future
Crypto can do this.

Tomorrow we will show you the real and final mint of the 1oz silver coin. The coin is rare as these Wild animals are. 100 unique coins are made for S01 and only 99 will be available for Auction.

Please say Hello to our two new Family Members:
Laila & Nias



So don't miss out and be part of something really special.
Let people know what is happening in crypto on twitter and facebook... follow us and we will show what a proper coin should be.

We have much more in plan but all in good time. When we say we deliver, you can be assured we do.

Your WBB Dev‏









I love that you are giving back dev, real class act. This is the first thing like this that I've seen in the alt world. Hopefully other coins follow and find ways to give back.

Just in case anyone actually pays attention to that abrasive person who keeps yelling "centralized reference node!"

If that person had bothered to actually READ tantestefana2's post (or at least performed one iota of research) he would understand that Dash still works even without the reference node.  All it does is make masternode payments less random and more regular. Take away the reference node and they become more random and possibly more prone to exploit, but it still works nonetheless.

Gee, look what I found by simply googling "darkcoin reference node" and clicking the very first search result:

To only pay active masternodes, pay masternodes evenly and ensure that all pools pay the correct node and amount we’ve introduced a new type of node, the reference node. This node has a special key that allows it to tell the network which nodes get paid, on which blocks in the future. Anyone on the network can verify these nodes are doing their job (i.e. not tampering with the results) by running the code and comparing the payee’s due to the deterministic algorithm used. In case of DDOS or a service failure, the network defaults to paying random masternodes as it does now.


(furiously rummaging through pockets now to fish out .5 Dash for the troll jar...)

Feels good finding a real winner early on it's life cycle  Smiley  Still holding though. The value should go real high with the actual auction when people can have their silver coins in their hands.

WBB looking interesting...we want to get launch date properly please... Smiley Wink

Hi,

The planned launch date is May 2015 for the 1oz Silver Collector Auction. The exact time and day will be announced after the Easter holidays.

Your WBB Dev

Will there be a limit to how many coins we can each win on the auction?
