The majority of bots that's being used in bitcoin trading, use kindergarten level trading algorithms.
The only people that would benefit from a ban is their owners...

Many believe in the next rally but few do something for that rally to happen. Some believe that they help bitcoin by simply holding on their coins.
You should invest your coins in people and businesses that will make bitcoin user friendly.

Bitcoin as it is now exists for geeks and geeks only. Unless that changes noone will invest more money in bitcoin. The geek adoption phase is over.

Who made money during the $100 --> $1200 BTC spike, it was too easy which makes me think exchanges robbed people that listened and invested at $100 to get a return of at the least over $500. I was a victim of this selective scamming by BTC-E. How many people do you think made millions in profits off the BTC bubble?

Bitcoin isn't an investment, it's a currency.

Bitcoin isn't a currency. It's a protocol.

You're confusing the blockchain with bitcoins.  Bitcoins, millibits, microbits, and satoshis are currency units.

How can someone confuse blockchain with bitcoin?  Roll Eyes What you said doesn't even make sense.  Lips sealed
Bitcoin is a protocol. One of its applications has the characteristics of a currency. You welcome.

That's a good question and one that you'll have to answer.  There's no way I can do that for you.  If you reread the original post it's very clear that the OP is referring to a currency, not a protocol.  According to your logic, the blockchain will never have more than 21 million protocols?  Huh

Obviously the problem here is that you are not familiar with the word "protocol". Google it before posting more nonsense.

You don't get it. Bitcoin it's like the internet. It's a protocol. It needs to mature.
You don't have to rush things. And frankly you can't.

It's their coins and they can do as they like. They are not killing anything because they just can't.

NXT is a social experiment as its founders like to say, devs give forgers a choice, so that forgers can exercise their right to vote with their forging power. That's the reason for this patched release. This goes to show the spirit of forgers and what they stand for. If they weren't offered a choice, it would be unknown what forgers stand for, and whether they truely support ideas of crypto currency. NXT forgers proved they do. You can keep trying to twist it as if it's not in NXT favor, but for all unbiased people it's clear to see what it's all about. But trolls gonna troll, it's their life.

So why don't they introduce this as a permanent feature? Give forgers the option to whitelist or blacklist every single transaction at will.
Maybe with a nice thumbs up button.   Lips sealed
Do you know why? Because this would be the shittiest of all alt-coins...

Actually forgers can do that on their own, NXT is open source, just like in Bitcoin miners can do that.
They can modify the software to include or not include txs.
If 51% (or 90% soon when Transparent Forging is enabled) of forging/mining power agrees to use the same modified software, then an alternative longer chain can be formed. That's the beauty of crypto currencies Smiley and that's basics of crypto currencies too Smiley

I agree. That's why the community turned down that unacceptable patch.
Still i have some news that might shock you. Even in open source programs you need developers. Developers to make them and maintain them.
And the fate of crypto-currencies is pretty much tied with the reputation and the actions of its developers.

If the hacker does not get to keep his NXT then the dev team has fucked up bad and NXT is doomed.
It already had a bad enough reputation and it's had TONS of drama in the past so this will just seal it's fate.

I never liked these NXT guys anyway so please do your rollback.. fuck em !
This latest news just proves their greedy morons..

what kind of centralized dipshits decide who gets to keep their coins ?
so the dev team decided that the hacker does not deserve his coins so they are deleting them ? WOW !
in other words NXT is dead.
that shit won't fly with the public LOL

and you could tell they were dead set on doing a rollback from the start anyway and
have been dancing around it because they can tell 80% of guys don't like the idea !

After 17 pages this is the best post i have read so far.
Kids are allowed to argue about rollback or not.
Idiots may compare the current situation with rollbacks happened in btc because of bugs.
Forgers can actually decide if they will rollback or not. (And luckily for nxt they have decided wisely)

But the developers reaction was unacceptable. To provide a patch for users to decide if they want to rollback a single transaction? Are they for real?
Imo this was the biggest blow to nxt.

I remember feeling a similar sentiment in June of last year.

I think march this year is a more recent example...

The margin and leverage change on bitfinex is more likely reacting to the systemic risk they have.

Sold off for the last 2 weeks is mainly due to Ethereum cash out.

What's that link supposed to mean?

Showing where ethereum's coins are going. Here is the english version:

https://blockchain.info/en/address/36PrZ1KHYMpqSyAQXSG8VwbUiq2EogxLo2?filter=1

I got that. But are they going to confirmed exchange addresses? Otherwise i can't see a connection with the price drop.

Faking trading volume is one thing and "virtual bitcoins" being bought by actual users is another. I hope.

So what exactly is braintree? Never heard of it before.
From a quick look it looks like yet another payment process. Why paypal has a subsidiary like this in the first place?
98  Local / India / Re: BTC 513-Reason for current fall of price? on: August 15, 2014, 06:07:02 AM
Do you seriously believe that people sold their coins because there was a report saying bitcoin is the wild west?
