hey guys, when are we going to the moon?
You missed it. Maybe he is one of those that thinks that landing was faked. Remember the flag moving like there was wind on the Moon. It is interesting to see ZCash gained quite a lot, but BCash and LTC nothing while added to Gemini. Wonder if that is because ZCAsh is less stable ot because it is private focused coin. Or the massive amounts in the Devs hands perhaps? The strategy of hardforking ASICs off of a network is going to lose potency the more it happens, because chip designers do have the ability to make chips that are flexible, anywhere from slightly flexible to highly flexible, with each piece of flexibility costing only a bit of performance. The Monero devs have committed to keeping the same general structure for the PoW algorithm, and because of that commitment we believe that you could make a Monero miner capable of surviving hard forks with less than a 5x hit to performance. I believe I have already stated this and added that is could be done with a fpga calling the asic chip as a simplistic example.

It looks like most people here is over 40? Noone (no matter which age) that didn't start using computers until the nineties? And absolutely no millenials here?
Interesting if that were the case.
No, several old-timers here have mentioned using Macs from 1979 & Commodore 64s from 1984. Anyone else start out on a 166mhz pentium? I used to overclock them to 200, does that count. ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) It looks like most people here is over 40?

Coinbase is stopping all payment services?
And BitPay is shilling for bcash, charging high transaction fees for BTC payments even when the mempool is empty and then not providing a bitcoin address to make a payment.
No more bitcoin payments for Expedia. My hosting service is making impossible to use bitcoin.
Bitcoin use in the US is about to die.
Is anyone using Coinbase after they KYC'd? Bitcoin use in the US is about to die.
Sick FUD, broheim. Also, McAfee is about ~12% below dickline at present. https://dickline.info/Thats awesome, someone made a webpage on it. Lol He probably thought he wouldn't live that long at the time. Hah, he still probably won't. It looks like most people here is over 40?

My first job was a point on the early n86's when chips were sx or dx (internal maths co processor) Ofc years before I had all the same stuff mentioned here. A spectrum that crashed if you touched the keyboard etc. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) First game experience was a thing like big mac at an uncles house, it was a text driven game. Did all those gaming sessions turn me brainy? its problem solving. I was trying to keep my kids away from gaming too early, but now I have seen how quick they learnt to solve the puzzles. I am changing my mind. Hand eye coordination, trying things that might work? all good eh? 386 the sx designation was for 16bit IIRC DX was 32bit. What your talking about was 486. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Is this thread still about btc or should it be moved somewhere else?
Here's a speculation question for you. Why do people use data from pre Institution futures markets expecting that to forecast a completely different market? And with that I give up trying to keep up with this thread again. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

hey guys, when are we going to the moon?
You missed it. So let's make a new prediction: We'll break 0.0043 this year.
I think that understates just how undervalued XMR is, and just how powerful Monero's position is in regards to securing an increasingly invincible marketcap. A lot of cryptocurrency speculators are still very much naive in respect of Monero's extraordinary backstory, the cryptography, and the demonstrable power of it's industrial community. But there has been a shift - a tangible sense that we are now in a prime position to occupy a space than can only really be matched by Bitcoin itself. The recent StackExchange victory proves that whatever the size of one's marketcap, it is the power of community, the egalitarian nature of the genesis, and the skill of the underlying codebase which are the real qualities that will carry projects forward without decline. Resistance at the 0.004-0.005 level may well be inevitable, but the speed and ferocity at which it is finally broken shouldn't be of any objective surprise. Thus, I wouldn't be surprised if we were toying with 0.0160 by years end. Either way, Monero now only has to double in value for it to be one place behind Dash on the marketcap. Consequently, and in conjunction with a perceived "Monero vs ZCash" conversation that will make Dash increasingly irrelevant, speculative and community leakage will pour massively into the Monero ecosystem and the levees will break. Without knowing it, suddenly Monero has a marketcap in excess of $100 million. Awesome neurolinguistics. Very clever. Food for thought.

can you gpu mine with them connected to a laptop or is a desktop needed for mining?
Do you mean use the internal gpu of the laptop or running external gpus on the laptop? either way the answer is yes but most internal GPU's on laptops are very weak.

I don't know if people observe that since the FUD around Tether started the price of BTC has suffered great dip ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Well if there is any correlation there it is because tether has been creating coins out of thin air to pump BTC which helped cause the bubble and if you didn't know, bubbles are bad for monetary units. Stability is key so stop worry about what you can make and look at the big picture, tether is a scam that hurts all crypto. I myself had used once USDT Tether in order to keep safe and save my crypto assets from dropping it's market value especially this year that Bitcoin dropped drastically and every altcoin's are dropping together.
So is there supposed to be a point in there somewhere?

The dumps were absorbed good enough in my opinion. The problem is that right now we have someone (credible enough for me) who is telling that there is some kind of major problem with the blockchain. But he hasnt give enough explanations. So there is great uncertainty right now and it will stay for a while unless we know more about that or we conclude it was bullshit...
Where the link to this "someone (credible enough for me)" and why would I care what you find credible? Who are you that we should trust you? So friday instead of buying into a diving market on the rebound I shorted Stella and just put my profits in XMR at the same price I would have got it at friday. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Wow. Is anyone in this thread younger than the Big Mac?
Probably, although I made my first PC rounds on a ZX81 as well. I understand the Big Mac is from 1967, right? ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fcommons%2Fthumb%2Fe%2Fe3%2FMacintosh_128k_transparency.png%2F300px-Macintosh_128k_transparency.png&t=663&c=RaLsYmvIeMVjkg) Big Mac. January 24, 1984. I'm just barely younger than when the Bic Mac sandwich was introduced and was a sophomore in High School when the computer came out. My first computer was a TI-99/4A.

So what became of those little chain forks? Was that someone making attempts at double spends?
Masari forked for 23 blocks after switching to anti-asic hashes. Looks like a pattern to me. Thanks man so yeah thats good news.

https://weeklyglobalresearch.wordpress.com/2018/05/12/darknet-markets-and-the-shadow-economy/Really good article written about darkmarkets and shadow economy in last 5 years. In this thread there was lots speculations in past two years of how much volume and how much listings darkmarkets have. This guy some who got answers. Yes speculation here went also in how big share Monero have. There is no infor about that in the article, except confirmation that more and more every day pass. Great article which brought me full circle back here to this thread which I think you all should read my comment if your thinking of joining that ICO. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2994969.msg37179092#msg37179092so much different information about this subject is traveling on the market, choosing the ones that are strong among them takes a little effort.
Not really, all you have to do is read the comments in the various threads and check the trust and other posts of those making their opinions known on the subject. It's easy to find scams and on Bytecoin you don't even have to DYOR it's already done for you.

... To participate in this Initial Coin Offering, you need an Ethereum Wallet that supports ERC20-Tokens. We do recommend MEW - MyEtherWallet. A minimum amount of .0012 ETH is required as the smartcontract will reject smaller amounts. The sale will also accept BTC, LTC, XMR
Contact for pre ICO details [/center]
What are you people fucking trying to rope in Morons? I did some reading on your Market and was thinking of investing in you ICO as you've made an economy that seems to be stable but FUCKING ETH!!! Any retard knows ETH is Centralized and MUTABLE!!! You supposed to have OPSEC that hasn't been hacked since what was it 2015 yet you ICO in a fucking chain that is willing to fork away tokens??? What do you think is going to happen when the 3 letter agencies lean on these guys? ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn-images-1.medium.com%2Fmax%2F1200%2F1%2AX_YYl8eAYONWDwJ9lh-Plg.png&t=663&c=_YG1jfa30hL6mQ) They will roll over in a heartbeat and who can blame them? they Forked for a DAO and broke the cardninal rule and you think a ETH token will be fucking safe??? Your either morons (which I doubt) or your fleecing fools. Oh and as far as the bolded, didn't you know MEW is getting peoples funds stolen or do you get kickbacks from referrals?

Anyone know what caused that dump across the board on everything and hour ago? ... Damn, just took a look and it's just ugly right now, but I think it's whale feeding time and all the little guppies are emptying their pockets. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) . If I were to guess it could also be short squeezing time. I would not be surprised if there is a significant XMR short position by our ASIC player. There are some strange moves which may be due to the ASIC fork including a very sudden sharp rise in the price of BCN, which was very likely caused by a single large buyer. This was accompanied by a sharp increase in the BCN hashrate. The ASICs may find BCN to be a more attractive home than XMO. When it comes to squeezing shorts, my strategy is very simple one buys or keeps holding, takes delivery (this is absolutely critical) and waits, Edit: Fish of any size can participate in this strategy. Yeah it looks like BCN is going to be a P$D for awhile, I noticed it was being accumulated the last few months and there were a few revivalists running about. Looks like their Move was nothing more than a fizzle as the blockchain couldn't handle it. Lol I bet the exchanges made some cake on that. So what became of those little chain forks? Was that someone making attempts at double spends?

What are your thoughts?
slightly impossible in my opinion It has way too much supply and imo, it's tech wouldn't really scale up well compare to the new generation blockchain project like Zilliqa, Cardano So, impossible in this year It simply won't make 100x. Well, it should go down. Last week, bcn was added to Binance and they made a deposit game inside. There was a huge arbitrage difference between Binance and Poloniex but it was not possible to send bcn from one to another. I don't trust it. Anyone that didn't know this coin was a scam from day one is an idiot and deserved to get squeezed. There are so many threads about it being a scam that you literally have to ignore them not to know it is a scam.

So gross, I've been overpaying every week. My bid is now in at .020.... Fuk I'm so torn, hate see it lose value even though i'm still trying to buy. Lol seriously bi-polar on this. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Don't be that guy who ended up hating himself later on after refusing to give in and buy at .0025 when the AlphaBay stories were swirling around back in the day. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) cruel mention ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) I hate you guys! ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

The problem for tether is lack of transparency. We all know Tether is completely centralized, and Bitfinex said it's backed by the real USD value but we didn't know how the way it's exactly works. I love to hear more about the scheme of it. But personally, I'm will stay away from Tether.

Any update on the XMR payment processor project? they been about a good few months now.
Was there any more take up? How is the business progressing?
Did they sell a lot of rock t shirts?
Bump, in case this got lost Do you have a reddit account? I doubt your going to get an answer on this here as those are the guys that ran over to reddit (full tilt Mod powers there). If you post it there drop a link in here so I can break out some popcorn. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) It'll probably get mob ruled anyway.

Sad to say that Bill Gates is officially past it, he may have been one of the worlds biggest movers and shakers in the 80s and 90s but he is well removed from the cutting edge of technology nowadays and his opinions are irrelevant as far as I am concerned. There are some very easy ways to short Bitcoin as 30 seconds on Google will show, and the fact he doesn't know this emphasises how out of touch he is.
He was not a mover nor a shaker, he was a global industry stifler, copy write infringer and technology stifler that slowed global innovation down by destroying any company he could not take over. He gets the moniker as a great business man but great businessmen steal from the good of all for the benefit of themselves and that is what he did. He was gifted with the foreknowledge to understand ruling the tech that controlled our information ruled us. BTW he stole Windows from Gates who had stolen it from Xerox. Never expected Bill Gates to say stuff like this. I thought he already learnt his lessons from the naughty past of windows monopolies and now trying with his wife Melinda to do good for a better world with his foundation, but you cannot remove the dark parts of his heart I guess. He maybe feels people forgot all about him and so he makes these types of statements,,, so the world remembers oh he was a genius. He should go buy futures contracts and prove himself wrong.
When you steal a bank, handing out bread on a corner does not make you a philanthropist. He never cared about humanity as a whole and still doesn't because if he did he would not be mudding about with his foundation wasting resources and then whining that he tried. I would not be surprised that he is fudding to buy in,as he is a master manipulator. First of all I appreciate that Bill Gates is supporting block chain but I don’t know why he is not supporting bitcoin. I think he is afraid of bitcoins progress that why he did this kind of comment. Many big investors had already invested in bitcoin and they are happy and hopeful for it. I think he should do study on current market situation then he will understand weather bitcoin is good or not.
Because he cannot control it, research him. He steals any tech he likes and has to have control. It's a massive personality flaw of his, he can't comprehend that others can guide and control the direction of an idea better than he can. I wonder if in his mind his failed foundation is just validated that opinion in his mind. I think it's low self esteem like people that get their Jollys when other people fail because they cannot excel.

Lol, glad I checked on the site, I was like "shit it's really happening". Lol Fake fucking news site... As soon as I read this I was WAT??, no fucking way! In its response, the government said it agreed with or supported the majority of the recommendations, including potentially requiring wages to be paid into bank accounts, effectively outlawing cash-in-hand payments. Workers in the “gig economy” will also face greater scrutiny.
