Meet Shoshi Krieger -> http://chicagobluesdance.com/CUBE/2010/aboutus.html

And we already know that the owner of House of Blues owns silkroad.com.

Shoshi is the daughter of Andrew Krieger who was a student of James Orlin Grabbe who worked alongside Sonny Vleisides of BFL during the bygone days of LFC in Costa Rica where both of the latter had moneys transferred to them via e-gold created less than a year after the creation of LFC who later created their own virtual currency with Grabbe at the helm.

so you are saying Jim Morrison is satoshi? :-D wowzers ===>

Wasn't Jim Morrison in a band with John Bonham? Something I once overheard by Kashmir Hill.

Meanwhile, I just learnt that somebody stole my idea: https://www.amazon.com/Book-Satoshi-Collected-Writings-Nakamoto/dp/0996061304/ref=tmm_hrd_title_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=

Secret Decoder ring time which will make you rich!

In Nov 2013 when BTC was at ~130 how did I know it would match gold price writhing 90 days, which it did?

How did I know about BTX at $2 [which will move to a top 3 coin]?

IXC is still a sleeper so we’ll drop that.

How did I know when Dash was at $10MM that it would hit $1 billion?

How did I know ETH was a huge buy at $.25 to become a billion dollar coin?


This is what’s next:

BTC will die.

BCH will be next Bitcoin and become BTC/XBT.

Blockstream will move to BTX once BTC dies.  I can even tell you the Blockstream dream team that will move to BTX.

BTX will move to top 3 valuations from like $19 now.

ETH will die just like BTC.  It was always a dog.

Both these main chains will need a sidechain to lower txs Times/Costs.

BCH, XBT, the new Bitcoin will use IXcoin.  BTX which will probably be called XTB will probably use use (spoiler alert) I0coin.  More details on that later.

This is your last chance to be millionaires from a mere few hundreds of dollars.

Take advantage of a piece of shit loser lying to me at Christmas time, otherwise you wouldn’t get this info.


Yeah, I’m kamikaze!  Wink

It seems like only yesterday where we saw swings in the tens of dollars. It was literally ONLY last month where we saw swings in the hundreds of dollars. Today, we're acclimating ourselves to seeing swings in thousands of dollars per bitcoin. At this rate, sometime next year we could see swings in the tens-of-thousand-dollar range.

Ten years from now ...

Dear all member!
Demand for ownership ECH and lending is too great. So we will sell another 2 million ECH.

ETHBlockNet CRYPTOCURRENCY


ETHBlockNet SPECIFICATIONS


Token name : ECS
Token standard : ERC20
Blockchain Platform : Ethereum
Total Supply: 2,000,000
Future Supply: POS/POW
Smart Contract : On the Ethereum Blockchain soon to be transformed to normal coin x11


ECS Lending
This is a very interesting concept for passive investors and extremely suitable with those who are looking for investment opportunities without calculating profit collected from their investment.

ECS Trading
This option is also rather potential for investors although the profit margin is not equal to lending. But with a stable development trend, this is still a profitable investment opportunity.

ECS Staking
If you are a person who is really busy, consider this option. It will bring you considerable profit from hoarding ETHBlockNet (ECS).
ECS Mining
This is the final way out of the above methods to be able to earn profit by mining. We provide POW algorithms so people can mine with the amount of coin we permit.

Dude, don't you want the surprise first? His email address was gleaned from https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=253701.msg2702979#msg2702979 (rex@lfcity.com) Why was he using Rex at the time when that moniker was contributed to James Ray Houston, Sonny's real dad?

I'm shocked, shocked I tell you that Bruno is penning a post on-topic.

Having been born on June 1st, my astrologic sign is Gemini. The Twins constellation suggests a dual personality. Happy and sad, strong and weak, intelligent and passionate.

Look at the email address of the person who penned it, then look at my recent post history. (haha, made you do some work  Tongue)

I worked on the web-based version of DMT around 1999-2001.  Great group of people down there.  I was friends with Orlin before LFC and DMT, visionary guy.  There's a lot of negative commentary on this thread about LFC and DMT.  I didn't see that.  Knowing Orlin, and what I saw in CR, they were a committed group with strong convictions working to do good.  No one was trying to rip anyone off.  The whole concept was ahead of its time.  Definitely a precursor to BTC, perhaps a direct connection through some of the team members, not sure.  I was not part of the core team, more of a mercenary to bang out code and get parts of the system built.

I'd really like to reconnect with any of the CR team from the old Nicaraguan embassy. Especially haxaw - if you get this, please ping me.



Hello, Sonny Vleisides, how you've been?

If you're not Sonny, then call me at 702-981-5600.

Hi Gleb,  I'm not Sonny.  I was a friend of Orlin's before LFC.  He and I worked on systems for capital markets together and he brought me into a project at LFC to build a web-based client for DMT.  I visited the Costa Rica campus for about a week, I think back in '99 or thereabouts.  

Met a bunch of folks down there and stayed with a guy known as haxaw -- had a lot of late nights drinking rusty nails.  LOL  My team and I worked on the project remotely after that, our codenames were Mr. Black (me), Mr. White, Mr. Blue.  I'm trying to see if I can reconnect with haxaw, but I never knew his real name.  He's probably in his 50s or 60s now, and all I know is that he worked on the Linux kernel with Linus in the early days, and he also patented data networking over electrical power infrastructure in the UK. You'd think I could find him with that info, but it's been a while and the scent is fading.  

Did I meet you down there in CR?  You probably wouldn't recall me, was just there for a brief time.  I remember a girl down there who went by the codename Nova.  She came to pick me up at the airport.  You remember her?  I guess I'm just trying to piece together recollections and reconnect with folks and see if there's a connection between DMT and the early concepts of bitcoin.  There's some mythology building that some of the DMT team are actually Satoshi.  Who knows.  Could be a good movie in there somewhere.



No, I wasn't down there. Do you recall a dude named Jeff Ownby while you were there? I believe I can give you a lead on Nova. At one time I leaned toward her being one of Sonny's girlfriends.

Here's a weird question: Do you think that Orlin is really dead? I'll PM you my Nova lead. I'm hunting it now.

EDIT: Does this person ring a bell? https://twitter.com/wwestmiller

EDIT: May be a dead end on Nova. Mixed her up with Gino but still looking.

EDIT: And fuck you for bringing down this rabbit hole again after once spending hundreds of hours researching LFC et al.  Tongue

Haha, yeah - a deep rabbit hole it is.  

A bunch of us conjecture on whether Orlin is still alive, or not.  We had a wake for Orlin in NYC, can't recall exactly when, sometime in the '00s.  There was about a dozen of us, having drinks in the east village, sharing memories of Orlin.  But no one knew if he was actually dead.  No one saw a body or any proof.  So when bitcoin spun up, and all the questions about who really is Satoshi, we would joke that Orlin is Satoshi.  I dunno, man - it's possible.

Hey, that's it!  Westmiller, that's the guy!  I'll have to ping him on LI.  At least to thank him for intro'ing me to Rusty Nails. LOL  Thanks man!


Wait, Westmiller is the guy you were looking for? haxaw? Boy, do I have a surprise for you if he is.

I wonder how much of an impact of last week's episode of The Big Bang Theory contributed to the recent congestion since said episode was entirely based on Bitcoin.
754  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 220k unconfirmed transactions on: December 09, 2017, 04:36:39 PM
Hey everyone,

It's crazy how many transactions are stuck at the moment I just saw some transactions worth $250 with a fee of almost $40!!
My transactions from 2 days ago with a fee of $5 still haven't confirmed it's pretty messed up, isn't bitcoin known for the almost instant transactions? right now the network is as slow as a snail.  Undecided

https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactions

I hope the bitcoin hype will settle down soon so our normal bitcoin users can continue their business, right now it's very expensive to send transactions.

Have any of you guys have stuck transactions aswell or paid insane amounts fee? let me know i'm interested.

~yaking

LOL, we haven't had "almost instant transactions" since this thing started. Much faster confirmation times with this, but never as quick as certain other major alts that typically confirm in 30 seconds or less Wink

This is people chasing the price, moving coins around to liquidate and ultimately, congesting the network. It's temporary, but is fueled when we give in to these high fees and raise them to use a coin. Don't do this! Would you pay extra to use a grid locked toll road? Or would you just take a different route?

FWIW, at least the US doesn't sell it toll roads to foreign nation states. Oh, wait ...

I will tell you my friend what is going on.

You clearly have not read through the last 5, 10, 50 or 100 pages of this thread. If you had you would not have deposited BTC into Ethconnect.



Wait, what! They said that like math, there won't be any reading after high school, hence exiting the system in 8th or 10th grade, whichever one comes first, for I don't knows cuz by math teecher waz a dick.

I cant answer OP's question, but I recently saw on television that a guy (forgot his name) wants to launch his self built rocket to proove that the earth is flat. I hope he does not die on his mission.

Yep, he's gonna launch himself 1,800 feet into the air, look at the window of his non-rotating rocket, then snap a pic of the horizon.

Personally, I would've rented a helicopter and go two miles up to take the same pic with a 99.9999999999% better chance of landing safely after the experiment. Why nobody has never taken a pic of the horizon high up in an air balloon, we'll never know.

Rumor has it that the same rocketman dude is gonna sail to the South Pole to prove that the Earth is flat ...
