It seems the "old ones" doesn't understand what bitcoin is or the whole cryptocurrency. The so called experts are also old and calling all fud against bitcoin. Yet almost all crypto enthusiasts are the younger generation, mid 30's and below. There is the barrier. The technological gap between old and young. Give it a few years when we "young" are the old, then we'll see it flourish. Early 30's here.  Steady. You will find in this august thread many fine gentlemen of the older persuasion. That said, you're right, it is hard for someone in their fifties or more to change their mental and personal financial model utterly to suit the demands of bitcoin. late 50's here. and when i heard of btc in 2011 i took to the concept like a dog to a bone. dont forget us old farts have seen how the government and banks play with money "for our own good" and many of us trust the government/banks even less than the younger generation. but maybe im an exception. lot of my friends around my age just dont get btc and wont get into it. Yeah no that's right, 'hard' but not impossible. We are few but strong. |

It is all very well being 'enthusiastic' and talking of 'whole cryptocurrency' as if that were a thing. If you could just stop all your meddling and blathering on until you are actually 50, you would be doing bitcoin a great service. There are many more pressing concerns than you seem to be aware of. |

Meh I was wrong about one thing. I should have described him as 'Passingly entertaining'. As for the rest, the evidence is ^.
Anyway, I leave you to get on with your topic.

Bisq does p2p matching much like localbitcoins. They use their app to match people and one or two guys act as arbitrators in case of dispute. The idea is that there will be many arbitrators but when you look closer, it's basically the two guys that created the software. That's how they make money on it. Certainly a step in the right direction. lol not a great model then |

That sound like very good news but... I have never really understood what Bitfury really does.... Everyone and their mother have a Bitmain miner, but... anyone does have a Bitfury miner? What are the specs? No for a long time now they've only sold to corporates, or rather in bulk. By the container load. Sometimes their other projects are a bit mysterious - maybe it's comms problems - like they made the cops some chain analysis stuff. edit: looking around, there were a few smaller projects using their chips recently edit link added https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1651958.msg17187794#msg17187794, but basically they haven't dealt with little sods like us for a while now. v. sensible Ok, but.. are their chips for real? Where can i find an analisys/review of any of them? I find it very suspecting the lack of information about their operations. Don't get me wrong, I consider Bifury one of the good "actors" here. I just would like to know more about them. more mystery yes. they're real. (wasn't ghash.io originally powered by aging bitfury gear?) We invite you to watch our video of the new 16nm chip! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zPpj1JYw38This is first out of 3 videos in series about our new 16nm Bitcoin Mining ASIC where we demonstrate the low power performance of the chip. Notice that there is no heat sink attached. In the next videos we will demonstrate high power performance and higher hash rate that can be achieved by using a heat sink. We expect mining devices with the 16nm chip to start appearing on the market as soon as by the end of March 2016. Please beware of scammers and check our website for listing of confirmed integrator and reseller partners. We will be listing them in the coming weeks. You vill vatch our wideos. Specially for you. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1360038.0 funny thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1072425.0 light bulb mining |

Eth could use this as an excuse to change the al-gore-rhythm
only allowing 10gb gpus to work ie the 1080ti, titan xp +volta.
thus tossing the entire bitmain f3 into the shitter
puts off pos for years. Huge boost to nvidia.
We had to do this to break the bitmain "stranglehold" on coins .
a sic joke right there he is the inventor of the internet https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=7&v=BnFJ8cHAlcolol i had no idea he was a CIA asset  Over here he's only famous for inventing polar bears. ps do you think Barry Silbert might be in on this ethhash asic for his ETC? |
