I'm not surprised there is hidden crap in the XT fork. A certain group is pushing hard to try and force it's adoption. The spam/stress tests was the beginning of it. It made people feel that blocks were full when they were just orchestrated that way.
Of course that stress test was to push forward the scaling. What you need to understand is that there is shit load of businesses out there that are waiting for bitcoin to scale to start their operations. There is a need right now in the market and it seems the core devs are ignoring that need so that's why Gavin and Mike threw the code in the wild so that market can have that option that fits their needs. This situation is inevitable through market forces and they will choose the implementation that will handle their shit load of transactions so they can make a profit. The race is on for Core and XT. XT has made the first move. XT did make the first move. Mike and Gavin decided their way was best and instead of working together as a team with the rest of the core devs they just forked the project hoping everyone would follow them. I can't follow a move like that. |

Holy smokes! Volatility is back! I expected a down turn with all the XT nonsense but I never thought it would go this low. Hope some people here were able to get some coins below $200.
XT is going to bring the market to its knees, no doubt. I have orders sitting in low double digits. That would be awesome to pick up coins that cheap, good luck to you! I'm thinking of putting in a short, but I'm terrible at trading. If I put in a short today the price would launch to $300 tomorrow.  |

Can I guess that Gemini will open tomorrow on Wednesday the 19th? What a perfect time to launch, price is low so there's only one way to go, up!  |

let me debunk this imposter "satoshi" with the actual satoshi's own words: Bitcoin ... A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution.
Satoshi Nakamoto - Bitcoin WhitepaperLimiting the block size to 1 MB makes the above quote impossible at some point in Bitcoin's future. Bitcoin users relying on any 3rd party company (Blockstream or Lightning Network) goes against the very essence of why bitcoin was created. The "payment channels" and the way lighting network works is not a good solution IMO. Whose to say that XT is the ONLY solution to larger blocks? XT can support larger blocks sooner than core, that doesn't mean that core won't support larger blocks or that it is wise to switch to XT for the sole purpose of having a quick solution to larger blocks. |

FACT 1: Someone claiming to be Satoshi writes that he might have no choice but to declare Bitcoin a failed project because of Hearn's and Andresen's hard fork. FACT 2: Real Satoshi or not, zero fucks were given by Bitcoin FACT 3: there is no evidence of satoshi (at) vistomail.com having being compromised. SPECULATION + OPINION: The message is consistent with Satoshi's writing style, which at the same time is inconsistent with the writing style of the guy who hacked satoshin@gmx.net + past obvious impostors. Taking into consideration this and other factors I believe that it is reasonably possible that the message comes from the real Satoshin but, real or not, my opinion on his message won't change: I agree with him, Bitcoin was designed to be protected from the influence of charismatic leaders, but I really don't understand all this drama. Bitcoin *needs* to evolve even in times of strong disagreement, and thankfully enough it is an open source project, which means that forks are expected. Just consider XT a new alt-coin, promoted by two charismatic Bitcoin Core devs using aggressive marketing tactics. If this new alt-coin brings any good and replaces vanilla Bitcoin is yet to be seen (I honestly doubt it), but is nevertheless an interesting development to watch unfold and yet another test to the resilience of the Bitcoin concept. I certainly think that such a change in the block size, which could be a huge security risk, is better to be tested on an alt-coin such as XT than on Bitcoin Core. The only block size change proposal I've read so far and that I consider sane and reasonable enough to be implemented in Core is Sipa's "Block size according to technological growth". Excellent post, the best I have read in a long time. This post alone deserves it's own thread IMO. |

It is true we have contemplated joining a class action lawsuit against Gavin and Mike if they go through with the hard fork.
Because, if you lost your Bitcoins as a result of Gavin network split - would you hold him accountable?
NO I think that's getting a little ridiculous. I think what Gavin and Mike are doing is reckless and childish, but in the end bitcoin is still an experiment and you never know if it will succeed or fail. If those two alone can take down bitcoin then what do you think will happen if bitcoin were priced 10x the current amount and the banks decided it was time to infiltrate and destroy bitcoin from within? Bitcoin is more robust than two core developers, I guess ex-core developers now... |

from faucet im only earning 300-400k satosi but from my signature campaign i earning 0.025  so per week i can earning ~0.03 Just wait until you hit senior rank in about ~12-13 weeks. The payouts for signature campaigns really increase at that stage. |

Could you maybe elaborate in detail how the profits between the site owner and Moneypot is split?
Let's say user X deposits 1 BTC and loses it, user Y deposits 1 BTC, wins 4 BTC and then withdraws his 5 BTC total to his wallet.
How is it split in this easy example?
They have info on this in the FAQ https://www.moneypot.com/faqHow much do you charge? MoneyPot is 100% free, both for users and app developers. On all bets against our bankroll we do take a 50% share of all profit you make. |

Like it or not bitcoinXT is on the wild and it is there to stay until bitcoin core finally delivers proper scaling (if ever?). If not, it will take over. There is no point of any sort of attack on both camp or fear mongering.
Once core implements its version to support larger blocks XT will be a thing of the past. I downloaded and ran XT a few months back and it seems to work just fine. But playing the "if you don't agree with me I'm going to take my ball and leave" attitude of Mike and Gavin is something I can do without. |

The little kiddies over at reddit spiked the XT nodes. And that's exactly what it's going to be a brief spike, they will start to fall off shortly. In fact it looks like it's already starting to hit the ceiling.  |

Wouldn't it be easier to hardcode a minimum fee of 0.0001 to avoid spamming, rather than dividing the Bitcoin community with a fork?
Blankets like that wrap in too many of the innocents. Whose to decide what is classified as spam and what is not? Hardcoding a fee of 0.0001 would be silly. What if the price shoots to $10,000 in the course of a few days? All transactions would stop until a patch was released to allow reduced fees. |

Keeps getting better and better  Now they are stealing your bandwidth. To add insult to injury, Microsoft has confirmed it is hijacking users' internet connections to upload software updates to other users, through "peer-to-peer" technology. Source:Gamers are going to love their ping times when the forced updates are in progress. This is pretty horrible but can be stopped - WUDO will not use connections marked as metered. To mark a connection as metered click Start > Settings > Network & Internet > Wi‑Fi > Advanced options and use the toggle switch under Set as metered connection. WUDO can be disabled. Go to Start > Settings > Updates & security > Windows Update > Advanced options and then select Choose how updates are delivered, and use the toggle to turn Delivery Optimization off. Thanks for sharing how to do this. I just updated my settings to disable the "Delivery Optimization" thanks to this. |

I noticed the link was to my old hosting btcthreads. I have since moved hosting providers, since the previous one was slow. I have updated that page so you can be re-directed to my new Faucet+Dice site http://coinables.website/login. |

Bitcoin can and will keep on truckin'. The current devs aren't the only devs. This bank heist style take over that XT is trying is really putting a damper on things, but we don't need devs maintaining to keep bitcoin alive everyday. It can continue to operate from miners and users. Other devs will come along that are smarter and more mature.

Payment received as always! Glad to hear that you guys are keeping coinomat unchanged! Thanks for the heads up about the signature change, mine is now updated to coinocard. Great campaign! |

Gavin genuinely seems like a nice person. I think he's being pushed. Hearn seems like a genuinely dick-ish person. In one interview when talking about the blocksize with Gavin and Mike, Gavin says "some people are pushing me to be more of a dictator". Mike smiles, takes a sip of his beer, nods his head and points to himself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIafZXRDH7w&feature=youtu.be&t=1672Gavin needs to distance himself from Hearn and return to core development if he wants to remain a part of bitcoin. This wild cowboy forking XT bullshit is dangerous and is only going to taint his name. Get out now Gavin, while you still can! |
