I am just a little curious if some of the gamblers here do use drugs or watch porn while gambling This article http://bit.ly/1DIdCSM states that doing the things above could screw your decision making What do you think? True or False? True I assume that if your not focusing on the gambling your distracted Also the false Euphoria might defeat your logic and get pwned |

Matter of preference, Green address is good but I'm a core user although I didn't notice they used multi-sig Although the only exchange using 3 sigs is bit-x to my knowledge so did have a relative knowledge it was being used but didn't see it for users only. Thanks for the link no also https://www.therocktrading.com/ is using multiSign address ( if I'm not wrong). I never heard of them but your correct “We’re pleased to be the first european exchange to support both multisignature and instant confirmation. Our users will be able to store their bitcoin in the most secure wallet, while instant confirmation let them being in control of Bitcoin funds until the last moment. It’s another step toward exchange trust.” It's good to see more exchanges using this though reduces the simple risk of 1 key being broken into. |

That sucks I hope that Bitcoin core will implement multi-sig sooner than later. Easy enough from all the cases that stealing a single sig address is possible Triple sig or double sig is the next step. |

Just read that Denmark plans to decouple its krone from € the same way as the Swiss decoupled their franc.
Sounds like there is a small but growing amount of countries planning to move out of the EU Greece elections was another one so there are some rumblings |

20k shorts again... I think we are going to see the same squeeze as last time  The market likes to move in different directions Will be fun to see whether it ends in a new bull run or more bears. |

This is worse than waiting for the bass to drop.
I wonder if your referring to Gavins proposal when you write that Interesting to an outsider they might see a bunch of high level devs bickering and go O_O ha-ha |

These are some principles that any potential hard fork must not violate:
- The network must remain substantially decentralized.
- The inflation schedule must be the same or lower/slower. (Though I'm not 100% sure whether lowering inflation would be OK.)
- No one should be allowed by design to steal your money.
- As much as reasonably possible, no one should be able to prevent you from spending your money.
- Anonymity should be at least possible.
I will oppose any unsafe hard fork, even if it's proposed by Gavin. I and the sites I have some hand in are independent of the dev group, the Bitcoin Foundation, and other companies/organizations. I don't know whether Gavin's current proposal is safe, so the only thing I'm doing now is recommending caution.
Indeed, this is still a mess that needs to be sorted out, as long as the fundamental properties and the decentralization and security of the network are secured I see any changes to improve it as reasonable but to be approached with caution. |

I dont know if someone actually made a similar poll since search engine is down so here we go.. Bitcoin fork proposal by respected Bitcoin lead dev Gavin Andresen, to increase the block size from 1MB to 20MB. Interesting read about it: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=919629.0 (locked  ) Feel free to discuss it further. ... and others that have very slow internet connections under 2Mbps wont be able to assist with being a full node.
You mis-interpreted my post. My point was with 20MB blocks, you will no longer be able to host a node on consumer Internet Plans. The important number was not the 2Mbps download, but the 4Mbps upload. BTW, to get those numbers, I simply multiplied my former node's bandwidth usage by 20. My current ISP has reduced the speeds it is offering for consumer access. The fastest upload offered on a consumer plan is 3Mbps. Business plans have an option with 5Mbps of upload. (Experiments like 250Mbps down and 15Mbps up are being grandfathered) Telus, the local phone company, is better with it's VDSL offerings. You can get 5 or 10Mbps of upload speed. For independent providers (using the same lines), like the one I was with, your maximum upload speed is 5Mbps. To get 10Mbps or more, you have to go to fibre, costing $$$$. VDSL and cable may technically be able to handle that, but the companies involved don't want to cannibalize their lucrative fibre offerings. My overall point is that if we go ahead with this fork, we have to do it with the understanding that the era of running a full node on a consumer Internet connection will be over. Due to extra CPU overhead (due to transaction processing), the days of running on a VPS may be over as well. Now, with 20MB, I expect dedicated hobbyists and small businesses will still be able to run a node, but it will be a considerable expense: hundreds if not thousands per month. Webhosting may be cheaper, but then you can't keep an eye on your box; or plug hashers directly into it. In consideration of node concentration weaker areas will have fewer nodes and nodes may become geographically more centralized. Analyzing current node geography a large concentration is in the USA and Europe with higher mb requirements limpacting the spread where there are a small amount of nodes at present and weaker internet service. https://getaddr.bitnodes.io/I would still say a variant of blockchain compression should be looked at as well but any change to the size limit should consider hosting capacity in the areas with the lowest node distribution, that way there will not be to many places left behind by any changes. That said I agree Phillip has a point we are kicking the buck down the road but something should be done and concede that Gavin may be correct that this should be done sooner than later https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=941331.msg10315817#msg10315817Roadstress as well https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=941331.msg10330786#msg10330786It's been a while since a D@T thread had me read through it all Other useful links https://blockchain.info/charts/avg-block-sizehttps://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=941331.msg10315826#msg10315826https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=144895.0Bitcoin can be changed in a backward-incompatible way and still remain Bitcoin. It was done by Satoshi with the version checksum change, for example. Hopefully there won't be any huge hard fork controversy in the future. It'd be a big mess if people had to actively decide between one fork or another. If this does happen, then I will endorse the most correct version of Bitcoin, and this version is what I'll mean when I say "Bitcoin". In particular, these are some principles that any potential hard fork must not violate: - The network must remain substantially decentralized. - The inflation schedule must be the same or lower/slower. (Though I'm not 100% sure whether lowering inflation would be OK.) - No one should be allowed by design to steal your money. - As much as reasonably possible, no one should be able to prevent you from spending your money. - Anonymity should be at least possible. I will oppose any unsafe hard fork, even if it's proposed by Gavin. I and the sites I have some hand in are independent of the dev group, the Bitcoin Foundation, and other companies/organizations. I don't know whether Gavin's current proposal is safe, so the only thing I'm doing now is recommending caution. It was wrong and I hope the separation of miner and development continues for at least a few decades before miners and developers are so embedded with each other we have a repeat of what led to Bitcoin in the first place.
I wasn't a fan of the whole idea of giving miners any special say on the issue. (Though it wasn't actually much of a vote, since miners could only confirm/reject P2SH.) Miners are basically employees of the network, and it should be the actions of users and businesses that influence what miners do, not the other way around. It would have been possible and better for users and businesses to (at a reasonable pace) force miners to accept the P2SH change. ---- Who is this Mircea Popescu and why is anyone giving this clown any time of the day? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=608444.0CTRL+F for his name. ---- |

Thanks everybody.. I wrote on SD's thread. Did u get a reply for it yet? He did and SD promised to process the bet later today. Looks like the problem will soon be resolved.  I placed a bet on the blockchain on 1/22/2015 after a couple emails to your support email address and now this post I want my measly .035 btc back that was never put into play.. Here is the txid f1ec30f5b25ca8e3bd0fd938838f197bc5a7f624bcd40ccd97c820184bd85015
Thx Adam
I can confirm that this transaction was not processed and it was because of the downtime we had during this time. We are manually processing this transaction later today, sorry about the delay. Good for OP Guess they do check now and then although the onus is on the user to report it by the looks of it. |

No campaign yet? I think primedice does not need any campaign because it is very popular already.
Popularity changes almost over night, other dice games can outrun PD if they play their cards right. The same way PD did when it started True but Satoshidice killed it's IPO and got bought out, Evorhees had his fair share of problems, and their was the whole issue of blockchain spam to deal with, a new competitor needs to make it more addicting while still attracting users aka faucet/promo programs But as you said it is possible if the right cards are played. |

Very enlightening, thank you for sharing.
Indeed, although by the numbers it still beats the relative wealth of a heck of a lot of other countries That said there were better times that is for sure #5 After adjusting for inflation, “the median wealth figure for middle-income families” fell from $78,000 in 1983 to $63,800 in 2013. (Appreciate they did inflation adjusted value on it) How does it get turned around Structural Changes in job training and education to cater to a new world. |

Not surprisingly, Bush isn’t the only political figure to attract factual controversy. The Wikipedia entry on Barack Obama has been revised 23,514 times — just slightly ahead of Adolf Hitler (23,499 revisions). Ronald Reagan, Abraham Lincoln and Bill Clinton all make it into the top 100 (Sarah Palin falls just short, in 104th place). Articles on religion, including Jehovah’s Witnesses and Muhammed, or about specific countries, such as the United States and Israel, attract plenty of revisions. More surprising, however, is that World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) features in more revised articles than any other single body — seven — and is responsible for the second-most-revised article: list of WWE personnel. Does all this reflect how controversial some topics are in society at large, or merely which topics are most contested by the people who edit Wikipedia? I had a strong suspicion it was mostly the latter (although I didn’t think the typical Wikipedia volunteer would also be a big WWE enthusiast), but it’s difficult to know. http://fivethirtyeight.com/datalab/the-100-most-edited-wikipedia-articlesInteresting topic I find it kind of amusing that the Old US president has that many edits while Obama just beat Hitler in edits even though he has been dead for so long, as for why those pages are edited the most they tend to represent the most controversial aspects of society Well with some exceptions not sure on the WWE personnel and the List of Omnitrix Aliens? Surprised Ben 10 made that listing. |

Article 68 of the Constitution, however, stipulates: “The use of firearms and toxic substances to control peaceful demonstrations is prohibited.”
I guess if there is a riot-like situation, you would want the army to deal with it effectively. It does say it is to be used as a last resort considering its Military based with a Charismatic leadership not too far out of the way to say that the military could enforce it, makes me curious how strong they are at present in Venezeula. The last resort to “prevent disorder, support the legitimately constituted authority, and counter all aggression, immediately confronting it with the necessary measures.” Else Coup and then a military controlled state and what constitution lol. (Anyways reading their comments suspicious of article) Counter Argument U.S. media is increasing its systematic negative coverage of Venezuela. http://www.telesurtv.net/english/opinion/Venezuela-Coup-in-Real-Time-20150201-0015.html |

I purchased. If you want to crush my bitcoin to 12 cents then go for it, I dont care, Its not going to kill me. However the upside is pretty huge and spending less time here is what I really need. Good luck all.
Best of luck to you as well Holding for a while at this point might be a good bet in the long run when some significant movement starts up |

One world government is fine as long as its a good one permanently right, 1 error somewhere in the future and we could wipe out billions.
I think that the predictions of armageddon and doom that comes with one world government is legit A world language would be useful kind of what english is Anyways kind of strange Bill wants to make the NWO wouldn't get to see much of it lol. |

I don't see the big deal in this other than having the Winkelvi name attached. Don't get me wrong I'm glad they're getting involved and are promoting bitcoin but I'm more concerned about decentralized exchanges. I'm sure this is just a ploy for them to scoop up massive amounts of bitcoins easily through taking their cut of fees.
Dude this is literally the only way to have all these clueless old wealthy guys getting involved with Bitcoin. They wouldn't invest any other way unless there is a regulated certified serious exchange. Yes, exactly. This is a really big deal. The Winklevii are trying to get old money/Wall Street money to pour in more dough into Bitcoin. Trade it up, down, sideways, long, short, etc... Only way you can do that is with fully licensed and regulated exchanges. They don't/won't put their old bank money into a Slovenian exchange like BitStamp or a Bulgarian exchange like BTC-E. But you launch a legit/licensed suit and tie exchange based in the financial capital of the world New York, and basically make the "Nasdaq" of Bitcoin, you best believe they will line the fuck up. You know what happens when those bigtime hedge funds get involved....  Man I cant wait to see that image again in one of the exchanges. Remember in MT Gox the moon man when we reach 1k? I hope winklevii put a moon man too in gemini when we hit 10k :p I like the waving Bitcoin flag you choose there I agree that big money will come when players are seen as more trustworthy as far as I can see the old capital will likely wait for the Winkevelli to have something running before putting in more investment into Bitcoin as a financial instrument R@D is seperate but once we have nice hedge funds it should be good for price |
