People really think an eminent journalist from one of the world's most respected newspapers spends 23.8 hours a day on here posting about drugs and pedophiles? That's almost as freaking pathetic as the troll.

You're new here aren't you?

Welcome!

<-- what's this!  Grin

There's a thread somewhere in the meta section that reveals these little hidden gems. Wink

Here's an old one: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=228503.msg2406390#msg2406390

From a good friend of ours..

And first reply is from Eva Braun.

Only in Bitcoin.

Well, and Stormfront.

Cool it chaps. Life's too short for this level of animosity, we got this.

I like the new, slightly wealthier Marcus.

Classic chaps need to relax, watch and learn.

Scratching bitcoins eyes out to save bitcoin wasn't working. Buy back in, sit down in the back of the bus and stfu for once.

Let's just hope some sort of cap increase is pushed out soon, so I won't have to meet Cranky Marcus ever again.

I don't understand why there isn't a global policy of involuntary euthanasia for nazis. Seems like a no-brainer.

No-brainer only if performed via encephalectomy.

Excellent! So we have a definition from lambie, method of mercy from you... I'm excited!

Right, I forgot. 'Over the top, almost comical expression of antisemitism' is something else one needs to be able to deal with on this forum.

Sometimes I login and think I've gone to the Daily Stormer by mistake. I blame the moderators. If foaming at the mouth racist rants don't count as trolling, then fuck me sideways.

Nazis are handy when fighting middle aged well-meaning former lead maintainers who's trying to push the project forward.

Passionately hating Jews, or any/all non-Aryans doesn't automatically make you a Nazi. There's nuance here guise, Geez.

Meh, I'd be happy with that definition if the policy ever was instituted.

Damn! Lambie is trolling those humour deficient germans to shits!

Short explanation: It's supposed to sound german while still being understandable for non-germans. It's made up with no pretense of being correct. Just do as lambchops said: check Google Translate. You're being über-trolled.

JJG broke even. Finally. Huzzah! Smiley


You are misdescribing circumstances, and maybe you should give some of your own details.. because something seems missing from your comment..- even in a kind of patronizing respect.

In fact, at this time and this week, BTC is currently way too volatile (too much price action) for anyone to be "breaking even" in any kind of exact manner .. especially, not someone anywhere near my situation  - whether we are talking strictly about BTC holdings, or some other combination of funds that are being traded.

Now you are emulating dumbaztec.... and where did he go?


Go on BMB... give us some of your BTC buying/selling details?  do you own any BTC.. maybe .73BTC?  Do you own any alts, maybe a little ETH,... go on tell us?  have you been buying or selling cryptos or PMs in recent months? 

or are you like Stolfi, merely, participating herein for academic purposes..?.   something happened to Stolfi, too?   Cry Cry


Seems many of our bear troll shill fiends are disappearing, but I am sure that several of them will be back for our next correction in the $600s or maybe when we coming down into the $500s..

I got a giant sweaty wodge of coins from dealing in some pretty shady things on the darkweb. It's a sinister past and I'm not particularly proud of it. But I'm reformed. Smiley

Canadian shady dealings? What are we talking about? Rude jokes?

?

That's what happens with a perfectly inelastic supply curve, prices go up, supply stays the same. I mean, I provided you a picture.

economy ... must serve the people.
economy MUST pay the worker, not the boss.

economy with inalienables rules is Bitcoin.



inalterables rules is the source of trust.

"It can be phased in, like:

if (blocknumber > 115000)
    maxblocksize = largerlimit

It can start being in versions way ahead, so by the time it reaches that block number and goes into effect, the older versions that don't have it are already obsolete.

When we're near the cutoff block number, I can put an alert to old versions to make sure they know they have to upgrade."

The hate came with the Neptunes and Titans

no, the hate started right the moment knc announced their first product. literally thousands of posts full of hate.

ah, that hate. that's just bitcoin
636  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: May 27, 2016, 07:59:08 PM
Bye KnC. Guess you shoulda decentralized your operations to China.  Undecided

The West has a huge technological advantage in things like silicon design expertise and lithography in low nm, yet it is not using it.

On top of that, western businesses are bloated compared to how lean Chinese businesses do their work. "Let's open some fancy offices that cost a million bucks, hire 3-4 secretaries for eye candy paying them 100-150k, hire a PR firm another 200-400k, hire a legal firm or a bunch of lawyers for another half a million etc etc. For a westerner it might be "reasonable" to pay tens of thousands of dollars for ...rack mounts, for a chinese it makes way more sense to go to a local metal worker and tell him to make custom steel frames for pennies.

The Chinese laugh all the way to the bank with how suicidal the Western OPEX and CAPEX are.

not sure if you aimed your comment towards knc. i went to stockholm to check out the company when their offered their first mining hardware while everyone in the forums yelled SCAM. i run a business myself (not IT) for 20 years and i could see they were managing their business properly. so i became their first customer. sam cole is brilliant and a nice guy on top of it. i never understood all the hate. knc was at least trying to keep western companies in the race. and they did for some years. sad that it is not possible anymore.

Hopefully, they won't drag XBT Provider ETNs down with them. If this comes to pass, the loss of investor confidence in all future bitcoin-pegged assets may be devastating...

So far, they claim that all the ETN funds were fully hedged, but who knows: http://xbtprovider.com/lang_en/news

The entire KnC Group declares bankruptcy.

You do understand how an agreement or a contract works, don't you?
Your buddies apparently signed on behalf of Core (it doesn't matter how you feel about it, they did) . The miners signed on behalf of their share of the mining industry.
You do understand how open source projects work, don't you? WTF gives a few guys the sole authority to dictate what goes into a release? They said they would write the code -- that's all they can do. Feel free to link me to something from the signers that suggests otherwise.
Exactly. This assumption that someone else can sign something in my name without my consent is idiotic. The people who were present at that 'argeement' only represented themselves, not other Core contributors, not Core, not my cat, no one else besides themselves.

I disagree. Fuck this deal, and fuck Antpool. He can go ahead and block Segwit implementation all he wants -- it's only big blockers that are crying for a capacity increase, anyway. And in that case, no one can blame Core for "stagnating development" given how many doors Segwit opens for scalability, privacy and new features.
Exactly. Some question how long it would take for Segwit to be adopted and actually bringing the 'capacity' increase. I find it very simple: If you want the capacity increase, you adopt it. Else you don't want the capacity increase. Classic supporters have tried just about any nonsense argument against it.

i'm right here with carlton ... waiting to fire up my blockstream hub you drooling idiot.
Greetings from the PR department (according to Franky).  Roll Eyes

Damn, you guys are slow.

The HK meeting happened. The way Core deals with it will influence the success of Segwit and maybe even Core itself. Why is this so difficult to understand?

Thus far it has removed the "threat" of Classic taking over. Surely this has benefited Core and those who prefer their take on things?

Core has been served a solution on a silver platter. To push that away now would be unwise.

Core needs to continuously make sure that vital parts of the ecosystem are assured that their business models won't be harmed simply due to intransigence.

If you really think Bitcoin is just another open source project, then you're more naive than I thought.

The promise was made by a couple of devs at the conference. They weren't there with official Core decision making powers. Even if they do code the hard fork 2mb blocksize increase, there's no guarantee it will obtain "consensus" to be included in Core. Unlikely to reach consensus, making it a rather hollow promise.
luke JR did not sign the roundtable as Luke JR - 'eligius inventor and general programmer'.. he signed it as a 'bitcoin core contributor'.
Matt Corallo did not sign it as general programmer and bitcoin hobbyist.. he signed it as a 'bitcoin core contributor'.
PEter Todd did not sign it as general programmer and bitcoin hobbyist.. he signed it as a 'bitcoin core contributor'.

If they mislead anyone-- though they assure me they didn't-- that's on them, no one else-- doubly so because assurances were made to other contributors that no such thing would be done when concerns were raised in advance about the ethics of trying conspiring to set network rules in closed meetings.  My prior exasperated comments were precisely because I think it's naive to think that whatever understanding there actually was at the time that it wouldn't be spun as something else-- exactly as you're doing.

As far as contributor it's true that they are-- but:  Matt's last merged commit was December 13th (6 months ago), Peter Todd's last merged commit was Jan 31st (5 months ago), Luke's was Feb 27th (4 months ago).  Valued though they are, these are not exactly the most active contributors (and to be complete, they do now all have recent pull requests open).  Their signatures were accurate in any case-- anyone can be a contributor, it doesn't imply any particular authority... but nor did the subject of the agreement require any authority. Considering that the goalposts are shifting, -- now people suggesting that core has to accept whatever they propose (a promise they never could have made), or that this proposal has to come before SW... I don't know why they'd bother with it at all now. It seems clear to me that they're getting played.



....

You do understand how an agreement or a contract works, don't you?

Your buddies apparently signed on behalf of Core (it doesn't matter how you feel about it, they did) . The miners signed on behalf of their share of the mining industry.

This agreement has kept the overwhelming majority of hashing power on core and away from classic & co.

What you're suggesting is that the miners should expect nothing in return.

That's a fairly lopsided deal.

In cases of doubt it would be natural interpret it in a direction where this unbalance is evened out.

These people are not some noob programmers you can just smack down with some snarky comments.

If they see the deal broken by your party they will consider it void. Not only that, they will feel mislead and get quite cross about it.

You don't want that to happen. And, frankly, neither do I. And I'm a BIP101 fanboy!

It's a good deal. Try to work with it.
