Interesting. I've read not long ago on the new steps forward made by the sister company "Virgin Galactic".

Clearly the airline businesses are going bad now and if they are not helped the Americans (especially) may have problems when the things get back to normal.
But I think that Virgin Whatever made quite a lot of money in their history and it's not fair for the average Joe to use his money just to help some rich company owners remain rich.

Yeah! 'Stablecoin' is spelled incorrectly in the newer avatar. For the meantime, I have switched to the older one. Hope to see updated new one soon. Smiley

Good find. But although you are right, I will wait for official "command" in order to do any changes.
After all, it would not take me too much time to fix the image myself  Wink

"MORE COLORS & SHADES TO BE ADDED"
I don't want to be mean, but you should do something more useful than adding more entries. What would be the use of having "nice name" for all 65535 colors we usually have on the computers?! And how big you expect the post will get?!

From my opinion the only real good thing of this thread is that people could post links to websites giving proper hex codes for the colors they choose. I prefer this post.

Damn that Twitter thread is full of shitcoin shills and bitcoin bears...  Grin

Don't pay too much attention to crypto twitter. You can get easily 100 people post there whatever you want for some pennies (or even for free if you make a token first).
8645  Other / Meta / Re: Is this considered a death threat? on: August 05, 2020, 07:33:19 AM
Is this a death threat?

This is a "light" threat and can be easily interpreted. I find this a very good explanation:

It certainly is not polite, but not a death threat. Don't want to take sides but this is a seldom used curse phrase in Romanian.

The problem is that @andulolika has an older and clearer death threat "i would slit his throat for this if i could" and he kinda got away with it (it has "only" some negative trust for it). So while I would not take serious his "death threats", he should watch his tongue because sooner or later this way of talking will cause him trouble. (Of course, I mean anything that can be considered death threat, not the "usual" cursing).


So yeah, reporting is fine, the mods' "job" is to decide.
On the other hand, I also feel like OP makes a bit too much fuzz about this.  Wink
8646  Other / Meta / Re: Help me understand on: August 05, 2020, 07:14:47 AM
i remember seeing an image of a mobile near to some replies. Iunderstood this as a sign that the user is using his mobile to create the reply, but when i use my mobile, i don't see that icone near to my post.

I think that you may have misunderstood a feature.
I'd say it may be one of the social media icons you are referring to, are sure it looked like a mobile phone? I mean, the green globe means that the user has (or advertises) a website.
There's also the icon/link for sending personal message, which looks a little different if the user is online or offline.
But at least on a computer you can hover over the icons and what are they about.
8647  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Liqui ??? on: August 05, 2020, 06:05:25 AM
why don't you log in for more than a year if you are a trader there? Is the exchange dead? or did you lose your password when logging in? I don't really know about sone coins and it doesn't seem like that's coins are not very popular in the market.

You are asking this about something written in January by someone who stopped loging in in February. So it's not relevant.

You are also wrong, since OP has stated he was trading, meaning that for whatever reasons he stopped at some point. A good guess would be that the funds lost were not too big and he was lazy enough to not withdraw.

However, as already stated, liqui is gone, the site is gone and since OP failed to comply and withdraw within the time frame of the warning mail, his funds are lost (liqui probably made use of them).
8648  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: A new only CPU mineable coin - Hacash (HAC) on: August 04, 2020, 04:56:58 PM
Two questions:
1. what's the use of this coin? Only for existing... there are plenty of coins.
2. is it sold at any exchange so people can calculate if it's better to mine this instead of Monero?
8649  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do you miss in block explorers on: August 04, 2020, 03:49:01 PM
anything you miss in current block explorers

There could be one "to bind them all":
1. with nicely formatted transaction info like Bitcoin.info (yes, the older version, which had simple or advanced view, which had the price now and at transaction time.. and which had graphical view/explorer to track the source of the money)
2. with automatic "refresh" of the confirmation count so one doesn't have to keep refreshing
3. with proper fee graphics and estimators like https://btc.com/stats/unconfirmed-tx (with better granularity and more reliable), maybe with the charts like https://jochen-hoenicke.de/ instead of the very last "Mempool Size K Line"
4. with something similar to mempool.space for even better understanding


But it's not nice to blatantly copy others' designs/ideas, so it won't be easy to do all this.
8650  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Based on my PC, are these mining stats right? on: August 04, 2020, 03:24:11 PM
Is it really that huge or I have done a mistake?

Even if you would have done a mistake, you are not far from the truth.
I ran your numbers with Poolin hashrate (as shown at https://btc.com/)

time = 16847561611550 * 2**32 / (19522 * 10**15) = 3706 seconds, which is just a bit more than one hour.

Which doesn't look that bad on average, although I feel like Poolin may do a tiny bit better than that.
8651  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Mining PrOn - did you ever build a mining rig for beauty / aesthetics on: August 03, 2020, 03:43:22 PM
There are quite some older threads on this subject, so if you want to take a look, OP, just search a little:
mining rig porn site:bitcointalk.org

The more older posts may be missing images, but some pretty cool ones are still there.
8652  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: August 03, 2020, 03:26:28 PM
To be honest, I would rather use it because it has good privacy futures, regardless of what the price is lol

It's not bad to do it for both. It's nice to have something valuable in your pockets, something with value increasing day by day and nobody knows (unless you really want to show them) how much you actually HOLD.
8653  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: August 03, 2020, 01:39:11 PM
edit: just some measly $100mio mistake.

As a famous (asoiaf) quote tells "If I look back, I am lost."
People often make poor decisions. Some make good decisions that eclipse the bad ones, some just go forward and some live with regrets (maybe it was closed because of the 3rd group, maybe because of getting spammy, I don't know).
Especially before 2017 it came easy to sell cheap. Many didn't think Bitcoin can get this high (or higher!); now we've seen that 20k is easily possible.

Just think on those who didn't sell. Those who didn't sell altcoins that looked great until they crumbled to dust.


The best option may be somewhere in the middle. Then you can say something like "I won some and I've lost some".
Actually one of the known advises is to not hold the whole bag and also don't sell in all in one step (maybe with different words).
But this means that those are 100% money one "affords to lose" (doesn't have to touch for decade/s). Not possible everywhere.
8654  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] GOLD - First 100% Liquid Stablecoin Backed by Gold on: August 03, 2020, 11:22:50 AM
Are there any contacts of support except this topic?

If you go onto their official page https://gold.storage you will see on the bottom right:
* a phone number
* a chat balloon (!)
* telegram link...

I think that the chat would be a good and pretty fast option.
8655  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Investing in Etherium will now be the right decision? on: August 03, 2020, 09:58:07 AM
would be the right decision for me to invest in Etherium now?

I will be against the huge majority and say no. Don't invest.
You have to read first. You have to find out what is this. You have to see that the update may be postponed, making the price fall (maybe shortly, maybe not). You have to see if the rise against Bitcoin is sustainable (else why not just invest into Bitcoin?). And ultimately you have to learn how the name if this coin is spelled.
8656  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why People Call Bitcoin Blockchain? on: August 03, 2020, 09:29:23 AM
The problem here is more complicated than any other example like the ones you mentioned. This is a new technology and such a confusion would surely disrupt spreading the right info about it.
I moderate a local facebook group where users buy/sell bitcoin for local currency, and i ensure you that 90% of them use blockchain.com wallet and coinbase account as their main wallets. All my efforts to abstract the confusion about the difference between the three concepts bitcoin/blockchain/wallet lost with the fact that most of those users are not familiar with contents made in English and i found it harder to explain everything in my local language[arabic].

Indeed, in some languages it can be tough, especially with newbies.
And it's also not easy to always write clearly "Bitcoin's blockchain" or "blockchain.com (the company/wallet!)" since one doesn't know what's in the other party's mind when discussing.

I clearly understand your problem, since the Bitcoin Support subforum gets its share of confused/tricked people.
8657  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why did we experience an overshoot in the price of Bitcoins ? on: August 03, 2020, 09:06:03 AM
After the halving Bitcoin is expected to go up and up; after investing into stocks and gold, the institutional investors also getting Bitcoin.
Of course "Money printer go brrr" may act as a catalyst.

What will you do when Bitcoin reach$20k?

I will wait it to reach 20k EUR! (j/k)

As @pooya87 said: 20k $ is just a number like any other.
Yes, for the most unlucky (who bought at ATH) this would mean finally profit. But most are already on profit at this price and if you stop to listen you can hear the party.

Some will sell (more or less), some will hold (more or less), some may just start buying (FOMO WTG!).
I don't know what will I do. I tend to believe that 20k USD is only a small stop to something much higher. Although I sell now and then tiny amounts, I may wait a little longer, so maybe I can make the bigger part of my stash actually worth something.
8659  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: August 03, 2020, 07:44:18 AM
Why would they do that? Selling this sharply means losing money.

Volatility always means profit for the exchange, despite of the direction. I am not accusing Kraken to be responsible for the dump. It is just weird that € has any relevance in this game when everybody thinks it doesn’t.

I'm not sure Kraken would gain enough from the fees to cover the loss of such sell. But yeah, who knows?
Although I am European and I care more about the EUR price than USD price, I don't use Kraken. For example Bitstamp also has EUR pair.

And no, EUR is far from irrelevant. Europe do have money, Europe does invest and trade Bitcoin. But for day trade, for example, if one just buys and sells and repeats, the currency doesn't mean anything (so it can be USD, where the volumes are higher).
Keep in mind that Europe is also more than Eurozone and most have to convert the earnings anyway into their local currency. This doesn't mean the orders cannot be calculated in Euro and converted afterwards to the equivalent USD price.

...Or maybe I just over-complicate everything  Grin


This is a very bearish candle.

Isn't just wishful thinking by chance? I mean that you have that specific candle only on the 3-day chart and it looks wonderful in all other charts, including the more usual 1-day ..  Wink

Trump is preparing to ban TikTok

Maybe he didn't like the videos like this: https://twitter.com/BlakePavey/status/1288818865846120449   Grin

On the serious side, Trump is getting annoyed by this and that and he just thinks he will ban and everything will be OK.
TikTok (Chinese surveillance) is just a response to Facebook (American surveillance). So why just don't ban both?

All the news tell that Microsoft (yet another American surveillance giant) wants to buy at least the US operations of TikTok. Will Trump also ban Microsoft? Or he's just trying to help lower the price?
