btc price will be positive through the lightning network update.

That thing without a release date, boy I would like to write software on them terms and it's only 6-9 months away according to
some people but are you sure you understand how it works, have you taken time to workout how you can send $2 to someone
on the other side of the world you don't know if that was your only transaction for the month ?

Lots of people here won't buy Ripple because it stinks of banksters so try smelling this one

See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2776719.msg28395400#msg28395400

Bolts of lightning alright, must be the bank of the devil

Nothing out there is magically rising or falling as well as it doesn't on the real Wall Street market!

Nope this is not true and you could had made 262% in the last 24 hours
https://coinmarketcap.com/gainers-losers/

Some slot machine around here will always make a noise because everyone has got to think "It could had been me"
so what coin that no one has ever herd of should we pick tomorrow or should we play dice and pretend that we don't
know that half the winners are in-house web-bots and it must just be our unlucky day  Cheesy

Bankers privileges gives the house 5% on YoBit so maybe that one is not fixed
823  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Good news The market began to rise and return !!! on: January 18, 2018, 08:37:04 PM
The common practise of buying low selling high. Have patience and think twice before making a decision when trading.

Well yes but we never sell because it would break our hearts so all we talk about is "Buy on the Dip" and
then keep playing a game of double or quits

Someone was telling me to buy on the dip here when the price was last at $17,500 and I told them
that transaction fees had killed the golden goose and then I got abuse when I told people to place
stop order at $10,000 as if it could never happen.

I like you because you dare to use the word trading instead of "Investing" but lets be honest here
the word is gambling and I have never seen so many adverts for casino games in my life before than
I see here.

Good job the pros here are all playing for free  
824  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Good news The market began to rise and return !!! on: January 18, 2018, 08:25:23 PM
And you;re saying this based on what?

wot the bit about it going up or the bit about it going down ?

every market in the world does this up and down thing you know and us slot-machine players just
love the flashing lights when we play

surly your not asking for any logic here are you because .... err.... well pass us the pop corn and let
me tell you about the Eliot Wave and head and shoulders
825  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Coinbase issues on: January 18, 2018, 08:14:40 PM
Coinbase scammed me and didn't give me the $10 joining bonus, won't give me access to my Bitcoin gold and ETH account is no good if you
don't get a public ETH address after you buy some from CD so what kind of wallet is that.

CB are doing all they can (so i am told) to stop people using Segwit and seem to be working with the miners
whilst the BTC development team sits on it's hands and does nothing

Maybe the miners own Coinbase and I know the dev team have plans to introduce mini banks into the system
but they call them Hubs in the lightning Network so maybe it's all one big monopoly and we have not worked it
out yet.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2776719.msg28395400#msg28395400

oh yeah you will enjoy the process of getting CB to deposit money back in a bank account
so you can use it.

826  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How does Segwit reduce transaction fees? on: January 18, 2018, 07:59:36 PM
But those two things are not related at all. In fact most people are still not using segwit, and that's the reason why fees are still increasing. We have a solution out there, that would help the current situation, but big exchanges like coinbase/gdax and gemini still don't use it. In fact they do even worse and they don't batch their transactions, which makes them responsible for making a huge number of transaction on the blockchain that could easily be condensed, and lower the fees drastically.

So please don't get confused here. Segwit is a good thing, it's simply not being used yet, and that's why you are not seeing any reduction on the fees yet.

Maybe it's a bit of an inside job and when I've changed a back-end database before now i didn't have to change the Urls or tell people that they need a new browser

from a technical standpoint no one has told me why the addresses needed (1 becomes a 3) to be changed or what else must be needed
from the wallet so that it will fit in to the block-chain as a segwit transaction but I know the miners are loving the income
and I know that we are being mislead about Lightning 

Development team needs to just tell the miners that the maximum fee is $1.50 and if they don't like it then push off  because we have 19,000 more than we
need but i am sure they will have some clap trap reason not to do just that which would involve quantum physics or something stupid
827  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: [BOT]Bittrex - Auto Trading and Order Monitoring Bot on: January 18, 2018, 05:56:52 PM
Says on the site "If you made a profit after you bought an altcoin, It will send you notifications via Telegram"

How would you know if you made a profit unless you sold it ?

The public APIs on these exchanges makes them easy to automate so I think you will have
lots of competition and these apps will become ten a penny if not free over time.

I want something that does HFT on a 0.5% spread and would write something myself
but I don't really have a clue when to press the green or the red button and would need
to team up with a trader who really knows his stuff

Maybe your system has a buy at this number and sell at this number so you can send a message to
the user and you could use SMS to send message if you have not already added it.

Did Bittrex give you a test account you could play with during development ?

Good luck anyway, hope it goes well for you

828  Economy / Speculation / Re: Reasons why Bitcoin is droping: on: January 18, 2018, 05:25:03 PM
Some people are losing interest but it doesn't change the fact that bitcoin is needed in crypto ecosystem

No it's not needed, not a fact at all but ETH is to some degree since so many other alt-coins hang off it and
"Some people are losing interest" in Bitcoin due to the rip-off fees that stops them using it as a currency.

Bitcoin is a bit of a old steam-engine these days and the miners put up the price of coal but ETH could not take
up all the slack because it too is based on a flawed design that won't allow it to scale.

Seven transactions a second from BTC is not going to be missed and before you reply with "Lightning Network"
to the rescue then maybe you should read this.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2776719.msg28395400#msg28395400

We like a public block-chain so why on earth would we see "off-block" as being a step forwards
and what they are not telling you is we can have speed and keep the BC so if they cannot fix
it or resist allowing the miners to rip us off then Bitcoin will become a museum attraction and that is a fact!
 



829  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How does Segwit reduce transaction fees? on: January 18, 2018, 05:04:52 PM
As they have planed, after the Segwit, size of a block will be reduced. In blockchain architecture, when the block size is reduced, verification time will be less and required resources may reduce. With these consideration transaction fees may reduce.

They are selling us seats on a bumpy old dirty bus and limiting the number of seats available and the only resource here is the size of
the block, seats on the bus that are selling for silly prices and they love it

Segwit is now running on the nodes but they have done it in such a way that your BTC public address needs changing
(Bingo another $30 for miners) and the wallets and exchanges need a redesign too because it buys our miners more time

Instead of waiting for Segwit the bus company could add one line of code to stop the rip-off fees

public static money MaxFee =1.50 //20,000 miners is 19,000 too many so they are free to leave

The Bitcoin cartel can learn that we have to queue up at bus stops, rich bastards jumping the queue will lead to riots at these rate

830  Economy / Speculation / Re: Reasons why Bitcoin is droping: on: January 18, 2018, 04:50:27 PM
In my opinion, I think one of the reasons responsible for drop in the value of bitcoin is interference by government of nations. The policies they are trying to put in place to regulate bitcoin trade is actually posing threat which brings about FUD among the masses thereby leading to drop in price.

I would agree with you and yes all these coins seem to be cross linked but the one that should profit from more
government meddling is Ripple and it's fell as hard as the rest of them.

The South Korea story is what we are being feed but i know as fact that someone controls the mejia when it
comes to crypto-coins so my best guess is that just maybe USDT acts like a relay to pump new money into the
system but it's fake new money and is not held in reserve by anyone as real $USD

Huge fees when it comes to BTC is the elephant in the room so pick your slot machine and notice how other
slot machines that no one is playing suddenly make lots of noise to catch you attention without any logic
behind it
831  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Difference between Segwit and BitcoinSegwit2x? on: January 18, 2018, 04:35:24 PM
Its very simple really. Segwit2x its bitcoin network with segwit protocol and blocksize 2mb, when segwit is meaning only segwit protocol with block size 1mb.
Segwit protocol gives increasing transaction numbers to 50% with excluding transaction sign from block's of bitcoin network to side store

I came across something like your saying here and it sounded like the signatures got removed from the block
and written to a separate file (blk001.dat, ext001.dat) and this put the equivalent block size using Segwit at
just under 4mb but then he went on to talk about how they calculate what size a byte is when coming up
with this 1mb block number which seemed like cooking the books to me.

See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzBAG2Jp4bg at about 2:11

Maybe if you explain why a conversion of a old transaction cannot be converted to a new segwit type transaction
in the nodes then the penny will drop for me. I think Segwit uses a new type of address but much of what hanging
around the internet is out of date and is inconsistent so it's not easy to see whats really is going on here.
832  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Where to find Developers? on: January 18, 2018, 04:08:30 PM
I'm new. But I understand that:

2. We need an architect. And it is better if he becomes a co-owner of the project.

I am old and during the Dot.CON boom I was getting these types of proposals all the time from
people that needed free programs because they thought they had a world beating master plan.

Sure I could clone someones existing project and get something working in a few months
but you are looking at years and years of work with a team of good developers to get something
started from scratch.

Maybe on year two the tulip mania comes to an end and then what would you do even if you had
the money to gamble on such a large development
833  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Browser games like ogame and cryptos on: January 18, 2018, 03:53:03 PM
methods, eg. Credit cards. I would like these game developers to bypass these expensive payment methods and to accept Bitcoin directly.

Are you having a laugh  Cheesy or did you not get the memo that Bitcoin fees have been as high as $55 ?

Lots of software developers will be cutting code so that other alt-coins can be used instead of BTC
that has priced itself out of the market and my guess is they won't come back because no one likes having
a knife held to their throats.

Just now the only coin I know that's cheap to send and can scale to anything near whats needed is
Ripple and even IOTA is not up for the job, Lightning on BTC is not in the race and the horse only has
three legs anyway.

834  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Lightning Network is a banker scam part one on: January 18, 2018, 03:26:30 PM
In this story it doesn’t sound like the transaction fees ended up any lower than they are now. I sure hope the lightning network wont be as useless as stories like this imply.

The Alice and Bob story with the Coffee shop is the fob off story the lightning team are using here and clearly
it won't work in reality for the reasons that I have listed and documented but in part two I will
cover the real deal of how it will work once people see the hubs for what they are, Banks and then
yes it could save you money but only if you open a bank account.............. err...... sorry........channel
and deposit you own coins by having locks placed on you BTC coins at the central banks .... err...... I mean
Bitcoin block-chain

Forget any talk about Bitcoin then being able to process 596 or a billion transactions per second even if we
ignore the hubs being banks and fees grandly increasing (Miner will run the banks) because the best this
"Lightning Network" will achieve in terms of performance increase is something like a factor of ten unless we
all significantly change our behavior and start acting like Bob the Builder because inter bank, sorry Hub settlement
will also add extra transactions to the Bitcoin main block-chain that can only process seven transactions per second.

oh yes anyone can close a channel (well for now anyway  Cheesy) so if your in credit with a banking hub and you force the bank to send you $1 that
is owed back to you so they get hit with the main block-chain $30 transaction fee then they are not going to be very happy so do read
the terms and conditions before signing any contract with bankers and watch out for credit agency checks.

So far I have assumed that locking coins on the main block-chain is free but the poor old miners not
getting $30 per transaction might well have other plans about that little free service
835  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Difference between Segwit and BitcoinSegwit2x? on: January 18, 2018, 02:03:51 PM
Segwit is alive, and S2X is dead.

I think you mean B2X that is being sold as Segwit2x is dead but it's trading therefore is not dead but lets go back in time
and see if we can agree

Segwit was proposed, miners didn't like it so it got stopped and they were going to fork but didn't
Segwit2x from Bitcoin dev team was proposed, no one liked it so it got robbed by a new team and they forked (B2X)
Original Segwit then because excepted and has now been activated on 95% of nodes
Some one off wallets will now work with Segwit
No major wallet like Exodus has been converted to work with it
Segwit/BTC coins are not a sub-type of Bitcoins, it's one and the same thing

What seems strange is that Segwit changes the format of the block so did we have a
switch over date and if so on what date and which block because it seems to me that
hidden away we might now be operating with two types of blocks within the same
block-chain because they cannot be mixed on old nodes.

Segwit seems to require a new address format so will need changes to both wallets and exchanges
to work but surly old nodes cannot process any blocks if they contain Segwit addresses or read/write
"extended block" needed for segwit to work

See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3T-WTZMbNo

Maybe Segwit transactions are cached until a Segwit node can create a full block or something
since very few people are using it yet and the conversion needed for the address should be free
since it's not our cock-up that has lead to the move









836  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Dips Are good For Crypto on: January 18, 2018, 01:35:49 PM
bitcoin is regaining its momentum and ready to take the ride towards to uptrend once again.

How would you know this or is it just a gut feeling and have you seen BTC recover before now when the fees
have gone to the moon and are still 100 X too high

Yes it sure is different today and dropping 50% when the coin cost $0.50 is not the same market that is
being played today so just how do you know that the party is not over because unless you can answer
these questions then your puling it out of thin air.

Tulips kept going up until one day they didn't and i can see cracks in this theory of yours even if we ignore
miner fees and that is the network won't scale with a mere 7 transactions per second so you must be relying
on the lightning network to come to the rescue.

See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2776719.0

Don't read if it upsets your religious believes that Bitcoin can only ever go upwards or take it that
I am just trying to help you and saw some hope in something you said.
837  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Dips Are good For Crypto on: January 18, 2018, 01:04:56 PM
It brings awareness to the market, growing the potential investors

You mean buying in at say $17,000 and being washed out at $12,000 like lots of new "Investors"
have seen this month is good for the currency  Cheesy

Good job that i was not "Buying on the dip" when Dot.CON went bust in 2000 and back in them
days no one would had paid $30 just to process 250 bytes of data like we are having to pay
miners today so any "potential investors" are going to run for the hills when they learn that hidden
secret.

Sure the "Lightning Network" is going to save us and make us rich again
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2776719.0
but competition from other alt-coins won't wait six to nine months and even if we ourselves wait
then we are going to be in for a disappointment and shock
838  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do not be subjective on: January 18, 2018, 12:54:15 PM
People in the crypto currency markets are the same that play in forex markets, oil markets

No they are not and unless something is flying up like Tulips or Alt-Coins then they would not be investing/gambling at
all so 90% of people here just use things like ShapeShift and brokers like Coinbase and only 10% would dare have
a flutter on GDAX or Yobit because they are slot-machine players or developers like myself who is the first to confess to
not being an expert.

Do not confuse professions with training with someone who's easily parted with there money as soon as they
have had a bit of luck because luck is running out here due to crazy high Bitcoin mining fees and the Lightning network
is not going to save anyone when it comes to fees like they are trying to make out.

Massively multiplayer online browser games are doing very good, when you monetize them and when you keep it free to play.

Wot like earning CoD points and then being able to sell them on !

Soon all the free stuff on the internet will become VIP content and you will end up
sending micro-payments from you browser to download .pdf files and stuff

Google you can bet is already expanding chrome API to expose wallet functions
to the DOM to allow custom wallets to be used with a number off alt-coins

See the "Brave" browser for whats in stall for us but this one is hard coded to use BAT

Google is not to be trusted and I wrote a chrome extension that blocks URLs but for some
address belonging to google the API does not call my code so you cannot block them and
google sends out a ClientID but hides it in the User-Agent and they told everyone that
they had stopped doing this.
