Is this the biggest mempool backlog ever recorded? It's gotten to the point that core devs started suggesting that node owners should set spam filters...

Of cource this particular piece of advice came from no one else rather than Luke-jr

You should judge advice on merit. Not on preconceived ideas about the person delivering it. Spam filter could simply mean adjusting your mintxrelayfee, whilst I don't like the precedent that sets I would grudgingly agree that its a necessary evil until such time as the block size limit is increased to the point where attempting to DDoS is no longer cost effective.

I am sure other, more sophisticated methods for deciding on what constitutes spam will emerge as the need dictates. Free market at work.

I was joking when 'judging' this idea. I think that filtering transactions sounds good in theory to be honest, it's usefulness would mostly benefit the individual using the filter unless it was widely adobted. I could think of arguements agest it being used as default though.

Now wait for the halvening and see how mining could change forever. If the price keeps declining, I'd expect that big mining would gradually start becoming a thing of the past. Or maybe more efficient asics will be released to the public  Tongue so profitable mining can still be a thing.

Why do people think it is a good idea to do stress tests?

It seems like a waste of time and money.

I can think of groups that could benefit from such a thing. Whales and supporters of bigger blocks for example.

First coinwallet.eu, then malleability and now a powerful stress test from an unknown source comes in creating a growing backlog of ~360Mb

correlation does not imply causation



This post could serve as a textbook example of this.

The action happens off-exchange. It'd be interesting to see what price it reached but it's unlikely that such information will be disclosed. IMO it's likely that if the highest bid is lower than the bitcoin trading price we'll see a dump. People from outside of the US are allowed to bid, so it's safe to assume that someone somewhere will try to get discounted bitcoins. Surely though, this isn't going to be the easiest thing unless there's not enough interest.

I hope you know that this URL is broken/going to the wrong URL.

Well, duh.

BitVegas was shut down after a hack and the creator going AWOL. I hope that was clear enough in my necrobump :p

Take a look at this and this. Are applications using APIs from those block explorers affected?

The place of purchase matters, care to clarify OP? My advice is that you shouldn't buy one from Greece as they're 'region locked' to only Greek stores, stores registered with paysafe in Greece etc. This excludes most mainstream stores accepting paysafe.

Oh wow, you're right. Visiting timecube.com without an ad blocker redirects to a web page riddled with ads. You really need an ad blocker notbatman.  Roll Eyes

Guess I'll add a warnin in the original post.

BitVegas was quite an interesting and unique implementation of how bitcoin could be used in games. I know the creator has been AWOL for quite some time but there was an attempt to re-create the project. But it was transferred and shut down in the same year.

The topic of creating bitcoin applications in minecraft is trending on reddit bitcoin communities right now yet not many there seems to remember bitvegas.

Has anyone kept the code? Any chance of releasing it publicly so the legacy can live on?

Used a bitcoin ATM for first time. Was longest, most invasive, and ultimately failed experience ever.


https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3nj2zb/used_a_bitcoin_atm_for_first_time_was_longest/



Some shady bitcoin operators are demanding users to input too much personal info according to this poster. Maybe ATM installations aren't the best way to increase adoption.

The difficulty jumped from ~1.5 to ~5 after the cryptocoinsnews article. Good job on the new users and participants.

Are we nearing one thousand yet?

I just seen that 1,00,000 gold = 10,000 satoshies

100 gold is 10 satoshi
