@coloseum. However, if another Asic manufacturer creates Asics for Monero and our new proof of work algorithm, would we need to change it again? Is this the downright, best longterm solution to the problem? I reckon, certainly no.

My first question is, what was Satoshi's last post in P2P Foundation's forum before posting the word nour? Was it I am not Dorian? Also, how high is the possibility that his account in the P2P Foundation is hacked?  The Second Coming of Satoshi Nakamoto has finally occurred, and the result is…. unexpected. In a twist worthy of Douglas Adams, the creator of Bitcoin logged into to an obscure web forum to leave a cryptic, one-word epistle:
“Nour”
Several long-term hodlers pointed out that the poster was unlikely to be the “real” Satoshi Nakamoto, whose email provider was hacked in 2014. But those Grinches didn’t stop the internet from donning its tinfoil hat to decipher the secret message.
Some noticed that it’s kind of like “Noor,” which is Arabic for “light” and true believers in Litecoin forums wondered if perhaps the Creator had forgiven Charlie Lee. Others wondered if Satoshi might be plugging the Lightning Network, the elaborate scaling solution built on the software designs of Rube Goldberg.
It’s also possible that Satoshi is offering a clue to his shocking true identity: in which case, Nouriel Roubini – ‘Dr Doom’ – has been engaged in a double-bluff so cunning, you could brush your teeth with it.
The reclusive Bitcoin creator also took the time to make a friend: a heretofore unknown Brazilian marketing specialist by the name of Wagner Tamanaha.Read in full https://cryptobriefing.com/satoshi-reappearance-surprising-candidate/ |

Is the letter published by the Federal Reserve real? The link in the article of the said letter goes to another bitcoinnews.com story about games in the cryptospace that is not related to this article. In any case, is this another example of incomepetent reporting by the bitcoin news media or fud spreading?  In a statement widely overlooked by the Bitcoin community, the Federal Reserve published a letter on its website in May 2018 blaming the launch of Bitcoin futures markets on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) for the decline of Bitcoin’s price.
The Federal Reserve says this sort of market behavior has been observed in other asset classes when futures markets are introduced. Specifically, it mentions how the mortgage industry boom was reversed when futures markets for mortgage securities were launched.
Its reason for this is that when a new asset class is born, there are optimistic investors who buy it up, driving the market upwards. However, pessimistic investors have no voice and no way to bet against an asset’s value, until futures markets are launched. Once futures markets are launched, pessimistic investors can short sell, where they buy futures contracts via a loan, sell them for cash and then buy back the contracts later at a lower price before the contracts expire.
The Federal Reserve implicitly says that Bitcoin would have kept rising past USD 20,000 if CME had not launched Bitcoin futures and explicitly says the CME Bitcoin futures are the exact reason for the beginning of Bitcoin’s price collapse.
Further, the investment opportunity presented by Bitcoin futures diverts investment away from the spot markets. Bitcoin futures on CME are cash settled, meaning no Bitcoins are backing them. Therefore, investment into the futures does not increase spot demand for Bitcoin but in fact, causes Bitcoin’s price to be lower since the money invested into the futures is diverted from the spot market.
The Federal Reserve explains how the combination of short selling and diversion of investment away from the spot markets creates a feedback loop which forces Bitcoin’s price lower.Read in full https://bitcoinnews.com/federal-reserve-cme-bitcoin-futures-prompted-bear-market/ |

However, some people in the Aeon subreddit are already speculating if she is dumping her Aeons in favor of making another investment
So what? If AEON is money. Then everyone is allowed to do with it weather it pleases them. If AEON is not money and there are some people that decide when I should spend it and for what I should spend it, then I personally dont care about AEON anymore and dont want it anymore. No one got any AEON for free. Everyone had to buy them or mine them. When they bought them or pay electricity to mine them, they risked value will decrease. And no central bank would replace their lost value if that would happen. Agreed. However, I also do have my right to speculate and care how valuable Aeon presently is. I am a holder like anyone of you. If an influencial whale might be dumping his or her coins, am I not allowed to speculate why? |

@kkkwww. Those short days are gone. The Aeon community have made the decision to follow Monero and change to another algorithm to kill Asics. Which might be a mistake. We would have the most hashrate if we stayed with the old algorithm and let game theory do its work.

What teams would then be most likely reach or maybe win the Eastern conference finals besides the Raptors and what are those teams' chances in order?
Also, are there good basketball tipsters in the here? hehehe

It would also be preferable to be as close to Monero's codebase as possible [...] I reckon we might have a better project.
How could it possibly be better if it is almost identical? These are our advantages while maintaining our codebase close to Monero. We have a smaller blockchain for an easier initial sync. We also have the Monero developers working for Aeon because smooth and stoffu can copy the code that Aeon needs anytime while doing improvements of their own. But I do not know how advantageous cryptonight light is anymore, with the 1mb scratchpad instead of 2? |

“What investors expect is that trading in that commodity that’s underlying the ETF is free from the risk or significant risk of manipulation,” said Clayton. “Those kinds of safeguards don’t exist in many of the markets where digital currencies trade.”[/i] Read in full https://btcmanager.com/bitcoin-etf-sec-annoucement/ Risk of manipulation? Gold has been proven to be manipulated, and yet they allow gold etfs Most markets are easily manipulated by market movers on a daily basis. Why? It is because gold is manipulated by the monarchs of the banking industry which are the masters of all the world's governments. There will only be an ETF approved for bitcoin once the monarchs have already won enough control of all trading for the bitcoin market. |

Actually had no idea CTelegraph and CIdol were owned by the same person. I suppose it now makes sense, CT's pretty decent when it comes to comparisons, but yeah Idol's quite something else. Want to say the opposite of CT except that they're generally half-heartedly cynical with their illustrations (or clueless, depending on your viewpoint). I actually feel Idol's deliberately tongue in cheek at times, specially with those cartoon Avengers-bordering-on-image-rights characters that are so much more original than their content.
You guys are a tough bunch, but you only need to read the odd Bitcoin-related article from say Economist ro realise the credible guys actually don't know what they're going on about either.
Cointelegraph is as bad as Coinidol and knowing that they are from the same owner is not a surprise anymore hehehe. Also, it cannot be a good reason to compare Cointelegraph's incompetence to mainstream media's incompetence in reporting about bitcoin. They both are incompetent and might also be corrupt. |

@jeremypwr. Will this campaign be extended like Bitcasino's campaign?

I reckon the best strategy for those types of tipsters would be to bet on the opposite side of their tips and post something in their social media accounts saying no 30% cut for you hehehe.
Can anyone share those tipsters' social media accounts? Thank you.

What are some of your impressions on the Toronto Raptors to make it in the eastern conference finals? I reckon they are one of the underdogs that has the better chance to make it hehehe.

Examine what Jay Clayton said. It would only be very good for the SEC to approve an ETF if the manipulators of bitcoin and the whole cryptospace was their monarchs from the banking industry. Our political and financial system is a big scam to enrich the monarchs.  Business Insider reported that the cryptocurrency industry needs to address certain security issues before seeing the approval of a Bitcoin ETF.
“What investors expect is that trading in that commodity that’s underlying the ETF is free from the risk or significant risk of manipulation,” said Clayton. “Those kinds of safeguards don’t exist in many of the markets where digital currencies trade.”Read in full https://btcmanager.com/bitcoin-etf-sec-annoucement/ |

Coinidol is one of the lousiest bitcoin news media outlets in the cryptospace. They make clickbait titles for their articles and take many of the stories out of context, maybe on purpose to hype or to fud.

I am beginning to see the light in Aeon. It might be more appropriate for our 2 - 3 man development team to let the Monero developers do the hard work and copy some of the parts of Monero that we can use.
It would also be preferable to be as close to Monero's codebase as possible while maintaining a smaller blockchain data for easier initial syncing.
I reckon we might have a better project. However, our problem would be the lack of network effects.

Dana's new storyboard for the heavyweight division might be a rematch for Francis Ngannou and Stipe Miocic. I reckon the winner will take him back on the road to fight for a championship.

Bitpay: another nail in the coffin of their incompetence
Isn't only Copay affected and not the Bitpay processor? In any case, this news should be bigger than it is, I reckon. Also, the users should be informed that there are other bitcoin processors available for them to be safe, like Globee and Btcpay. |

@Febo. I am not obsessed with her. However, some people in the Aeon subreddit are already speculating if she is dumping her Aeons in favor of making another investment on a different project. Her reddit account is more active in Grin.
In any case, she is a smart investor and did not become a whale by luck. It is also nothing personal, we cannot hold all our eggs in 1 basket.

Why would Dominic Tarr give publishing rights to someone he does not know? I reckon there might be more to this story. Did anyone question the possibility that right9ctrl is really Dominic?

@gentlemand. I reckon that presents bitcoin as what Lionel wrote in his artice. It was pumped by whales during the ICO mania and the whales dumped on everyone when they were done. Many many people came out poorer after this, many whales came out richer.
