What are the developers expecting by making the supply infinite and without having any block reward halving schedule? Was there an economic theory it was based on? Is Grin trying to catch up on bitcoin's distribution?

Yes, similar to bitcoin. When a mining pool is close to having 51% of the hashrate, the community and the miners themselves call on some of them to mine in another mining pool.
Also, a similar situation can happen today without Asics.
By chance, sometimes I saw coins which had dominant hashrates (more than 60% or even higher) concentrated on one pool. Of course, it's rarely scenario when all hashrates of the pool controlled by one address/ group / farm, but it is always a very bad signal of potential serious Replay Attacks. This can also occur in GPU mined cryptocoins, however. 51% attacks are not exclusive incidents for Asic mined coins. Low hashrate coins are also easier to attack, that was why Aeon staying with the Asics might have been better. Also, replay attacks? I reckon you do not know what it means. Replay attacks only occur when there is a fork in the blockchain, where transactions in the original chain can be replayed in the forked chain. |

@jibberwok. Are you from the Grin development team? For the benefit of the people who do not know the project, I would suggest that you create an ANN thread showing what the cryptocoin's technical features are, philosophy and the roadmap.

We all know that Pacquiao is deserving to have a rematch against Floyd Mayweather the only problem is Mayweather isn't done hyping it up so there's that big money coming in, his fight against Tenshin Nasukawa didn't really add up to his fame anymore and the only thing makes him happy is the money behind it. The rematch may not be a reality anymore as I have seen news that Mikey Garcia is showing an interest against fighting Pacman himself and this will also be an interesting match to see if this happens.
I disagree, we do not know that. This is the fight where we can estimate if Manny is indeed deserving for a money fight against Floyd Mayweather. Floyd is undefeated, he is also considered to be greatest pound for pound boxer. He makes the decisions, not Manny. Manny does not deserve anything from Floyd unless he defeats Adrien Broner unanimously. Well we don't know that for sure. But remember way back 2015 Floyd Mayweather denied Pacquiao for years before the fight even officially happen, I won't be surprised if he is doing this confirming and denying just to get a lot of media attention to smoke up the fight. Yes Mayweather is the one who he will be fighting next but so as Manny Pacquiao, all boxers at the same time need to agree about the fight and its really not solely on Mayweather's decision whether a fight will happen or not, like I said earlier there are a lot of fighters lining up just to fight Pacquiao. Agreed. I was only implying that if negotiations for the fight begins, I reckon Floyd will have much more terms for Manny than Manny for Floyd because Floyd won the 1st fight and he is pound for pound the best fighter. However if Manny wins impressively on Saturday, it might change and they might level on even terms. |

Agreed and this is also true for bitcoin. However, you know more hashrate is better. The blockchain clearly is more secure and not as vulnerable to attackers who go from coin to coin using their GPU mining farms or rent hash power from Nicehash to attack altcoins.
More hashrates will only be better if they are spreaded around diversified mining pools. Dominant hashrates concentrate on one or two pools are always a risk for network healthy condition. Yes, similar to bitcoin. When a mining pool is close to having 51% of the hashrate, the community and the miners themselves call on some of them to mine in another mining pool. Also, a similar situation can happen today without Asics. |

@StarkInternational. Bad for the miners. The developers have the miners' income decreased by 33%. I reckon changes such as monetary policy must have consensus within the community and not imposed by developers.
@Dragonrage201. The hardfork will begin on January 17, only a 1 day delay.
i think its will great in longterm, becouse : price is marketcap / circulation suply. for example : 100 BLN $ in 5 year : price per ethereum will big after constantinople, becouse after now new ETH numbers will only 2 in block. and in future per eth price will big. i think so. after this, mining will hard, but i think : if i want secret transactions, i will use for transactions ETH and not DASH. its oportunity for ETHereum. An advice for you and everyone reading this. If you want secret transactions you should use Monero not Ethereum. Ethereum is not private. You can also use Aeon hehehe. |

Holding bitcoin in these countries is a reasonable solution, I reckon, which also might make it a better investment outside of those countries.
It depends on how you look at it. It's easy to say for an outsider that Bitcoin is a reasonable solution and/or hedge, which is true, but the majority of the people there can't do anything with Bitcoin. You can't pay for your daily necessities with Bitcoin, which is what they actually need because they live from day to day not knowing what the next one will bring. News outlets have been fooling people about crypto adoption there. If one local store accepts payments in Bitcoin, they directly refer to it as ' Venezuela Bitcoin adoption growing' where they add tons of gibberish to the story to spice things up. Not cool. However, we should remember that these countries are Venezuela and Zimbabwe. Countries which are suffering or have suffered from hyperinflation. Their people might not use bitcoin as currency for daily necessities, but they can use it to store their wealth unless gold or the US dollar are easier to buy. |

I wonder how many others got the chill when they saw the ice coming, I definitely felt it and if this is the teaser I can’t wait for the show to begin. I also believe the feather which was first seen in season one, and season five has significant relevance to Jon’s parentage, and normally when we saw thes faces on these statues, those people die so does it mean three of my favourite characters already dead. I would not feel sad cause I’m feeling super excited for this premier, and once this ends I can’t wait for the spinoff and I’m sure you’ll be the one creating an odds thread for that too. Jon Snow will not die, again hehehe. He is the favorite to rule after the series ends. Similar to the Miss Universe type of betting, the oddsmakers are savvy enough to have an almost correct prediction of the outcome. @swogerino. Are you religious? hehehe |

or better yet, just don't pirate material. go to safe streaming sites if you want to keep malware away from your device.
Nothing beats free however hehehe. There are also no safe streaming sites except the paid sites similar to Netflix. In any case, you might have missed what bittorrent mainly is. It is a peer to peer file sharing network for anything. Its use for good must be encouraged. |

I cannot give any plausible reason except that I am using Tom Lee's prediction on the S&P as a counter indicator basing it on his failed predictions on bitcoin last year. I also started the thread as another joke on Tom Lee hehehe.
Also, giving it more thought, stock market crashes have always caused investors to hold safer investments like gold and bonds. I am not certain if this will change and make all of them invest in bitcoin, however there are big investors who understand the technology enough to be confident on its potential. Those big investors might also be the reason why the ETF is a possibility.
Are we talking about a stock market correction or a larger economic crash? I don't think it's possible to see a real crash in stocks (like 1929) without triggering a severe recession or depression. So it's an important question to keep in mind. In an economic crash, all markets will generally suffer. Just look at 2008. Gold fell hard like everything else. It just didn't fall quite as hard as stocks. I was talking about the larger economic crashes that might last for 5 or more years. Also, it does not have to be only in America, there are other countries like Venezuela or Zimbabwe that have there economies agonizing or have agonized from hyperinflation. Holding bitcoin in these countries is a reasonable solution, I reckon, which also might make it a better investment outside of those countries. |

Continuing on the link Kemarit shared, Pacquiao, Mayweather come face to face at Clippers game. Read the comments about the news. https://www.boxingscene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=803493The posters there are into boxing more than the average fan, I reckon. But a greater part of their comments do not want Floyd versus Manny 2. Does that imply that such an event is not ready? Not everything are published in the internet, those are inside talks that we do not know and with a big money involve, I doubt both parties are not interested to make this fight happen again. I'm pretty sure that there will be a Pacquaio vs Mayweather 2 and it's going to be realize soon, most likely this year and I have already thought of putting my money on Pacquaio despite the fact that he is an underdog for this fight. We all know that Pacquiao is deserving to have a rematch against Floyd Mayweather the only problem is Mayweather isn't done hyping it up so there's that big money coming in, his fight against Tenshin Nasukawa didn't really add up to his fame anymore and the only thing makes him happy is the money behind it.

Everyone who likes downloading their movies from torrent websites should be very careful. The article mentions Windows users, however, I reckon everyone should be careful. Also, stop using your personal computer for cryptocoins to download movies or tv series for crying out loud.  A malicious Windows shortcut file posing as a movie via The Pirate Bay torrent tracker can trigger a chain of mischievous activities on your computer, like injecting content from the attacker into high-profile web sites such as Wikipedia, Google and Yandex Search or by stealing cryptocurrency.
If the victim goes to Wikipedia, the malware's injection mechanism inserts a fake donation banner that states Wikipedia now accepts cryptocurrency donations and provides two cryptocurrency addresses to send "donate" to.
One wallet is for Bitcoin and at the time of writing had $70 worth of cryptocurrency. The other is for Ethereum and had a balance of almost ETH 4.6, or about $600.
A third bitcoin wallet address was found in the scripts downloaded by the malware, with a balance of $13. This does not appear to be included in the Wikipedia donation scam.
All three wallets are part of another malicious task, meant to replace a Bitcoin and Ethereum addresses found on web pages. This tactic does not show any sign that could alert the user of the trick. Because the wallets are a large string of random characters, most users will likely not notice the difference between what they expected to copy and the pasted result.Read in full https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/fake-movie-file-infects-pc-to-steal-cryptocurrency-poison-google-results/ |

I cannot stop laughing.
I reckon a major crash on the S&P might be good for bitcoin however. It might make institutions look for alternative investments that might also rush bitcoin ETF applications to quick approval
Can you give even a single plausible reason why it might? Truth be told, I hope you turn out to be right (if it comes to that), but if your train of thought is anywhere close to what I think it is, then there's a lot of ifs and buts in respect to your reasoning. Basically, you may think that if the American stock market continues to spiral down in ever widening circles, with the economy stagnating in recession, people will be looking for safe havens (the point with which I agree) and one such safe haven will be Bitcoin (the point which I doubt). So what are your convincing reasons as to why that might be true indeed? I cannot give any plausible reason except that I am using Tom Lee's prediction on the S&P as a counter indicator basing it on his failed predictions on bitcoin last year. I also started the thread as another joke on Tom Lee hehehe. Also, giving it more thought, stock market crashes have always caused investors to hold safer investments like gold and bonds.

What are the latest updates on this news?
In any case, Kakmakr, I reckon it would be the exchanges which might classify Monero as a crime coin and that some of them might take extreme measures to delist it, by order of the government or to avoid any pressure from the government.
It is not impossible, the Japanese government had already done this on exchanges in their country.

@peter0425. It is politics. Also, it is known that Dana hates Tyron. Perhaps Dana thinks Kamaru Usman has the higher possibility to beat the champion than Colby hehe.
