Big business doesn't give a fuck about your opinions or what you think or how much CSW has hurt your feelings.

Coincidentally, they don't give a fuck about SV. Not one exchange came down on the side of SV during the hash war debacle, which is now over.

Hope you enjoyed your fappening flippening while it lasted.

Wow this address has -10 petros?? That's funny as shit! Hopefully its just a glitch in their block explorer.

You do realize that SV is the only coin pushing for 8k+ TPS and enterprise level use right? Back to the cave you go troll!

Who cares? BCH has bigger blocks and they are largely unfilled. It doesn't matter if SV blocks are 1 GB in size, nobody's going to use a coin controlled by an egomaniac who is a proven liar.

All you flippening fanatics need to calm your boners.

Its evident Wright and Ayres are selling their BCH stashes to prop up the price of SV, thus the crash in BCH and the rise in SV.

Once they are out of ammo SV will go back down. Its not like SV suddenly got an influx of support from the community or interest from the industry.

The thread is still open so I'm gonna guess you were made a merit source.

I just have one question: why'd you give this guy 20 merit for this post? Most of his posts are cold garbage. When I read them the voice in my mind takes on that of a lobotomy patient. He just trudges through words for the sake of filling bounties.

Not saying you can't, just want to know why. You give them away in bunches of 20 I see... Maybe he applied for meritship here, I apologize for not reading the entire thread.

It turned out to be fake. The website originally referred to is now offline, and yes Craig Wright was proven to be an elaborate hoaxer. More recently, the @satoshi on twitter was also discredited, and his P2P Foundation profile is still hacked. Now you're up to date!

I’ve never seen proof of his p2p foundation account being hacked.  Just speculation.  

I don't know how the P2P Foundation login process works exactly but what is known is that his satoshin@gmx.com was hacked (or recycled), and if he used that to sign up then he probably could have requested a password reset.

Even if the creator of the Bitcoin – Satoshi Nakamoto does return, I don’t think it’s going to affect the rate of the cryptocurrency. While the market is expected to grow and stabilize within the next couple of months, it’s probably not a lot to do with the developer. Moreover, I think this news is fake because why would the maker or makers return after such a long time?
I am not sure about this is true or fake but another news which I read someone pretends that he is satoshi nakamto but he proved that he is lying and as you said the returning on satoshi is not going to change anything but may built trust on people again which can increase the more people to enters into the market.

later on this day mic is gonna come home, his GF has read his post during the day, punches him square in the face for continuously crying @ home cause of the drop
and being on the form like a stonecold hodler that doesn't care hahaha LoL Roll Eyes

Was this your alt account mic, but you changed BTC to ETH and GF to wife to cover your tracks?



Worst post I've seen since this one:



And that was a couple of weeks ago... The dude has assuredly offed himself by now. Should probably send him a merit.

Don't suppose the FCA can prosecute CSW for market manipulation, can they?

controlling a billion dollar market by yourself deserves an award not prosecution

LOL. Well when you sell your huge stash of one coin to buy your own, its easier than you may think.
8790  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Segwit or Segregated witness on: December 07, 2018, 09:52:26 AM
I've red from Hodler wallet article that  it changes the way in which information is stored on the blockchain, it allows for a reduced transaction size, and therefore also reduced fee and increased transaction speed. To put it as simple as it gets. This means that wallet such as that which supports SegWit addresses enables bitcoin users to make cheaper and faster transactions which I think the best thing about it.

Bingo. Sounds like you get it. It just shaves off a bit of information from each transaction that was determined to be non-crucial to the continued functioning of the blockchain. While segwit definitely helps bitcoin scale a little bit, its actually pretty limited in this regard, which is why things like mass adoption of the Lightning Network will be required if bitcoin wants to compete with something like Visa.
8791  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I am a loser. My only question now is, how do I tell my wife on: December 07, 2018, 06:19:19 AM

ETH is down by -20% today, by the end of the week it will below your 50.

Take your losses, and get out with some skin, stay to the end and get nothing.

It's going down, ETH was always a over-hyped SHIT-COIN.

I don't have any skin in the game because I use crypto for what it was intended - a currency - not an investment. For that end its served me quite well. Thus my holdings are nonexistent.

I read some of your other posts, looked at your trust history, and I just have to wonder, who gave you a merit??
8792  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I am a loser. My only question now is, how do I tell my wife on: December 07, 2018, 05:19:20 AM
i am not saying ETH is going to die anytime soon so i don't know what you are disagreeing with. all i am saying is that bag holding it while it continues dropping is not a good idea specially since you don't know how long is the dump going to last. it was above $100 and if it goes to $50 it means you lose another half of what you had.

if you truly believe in ETH (which i do not) then buy it back when the dump ended not bag hold all through the dump.

My main disagreement is I don't think he should sell right now. I think the turnaround time will be pretty quick before it starts to go back up (within 1 month) but that's just my personal guess. Wouldn't make sense to get out and then get in again.
8793  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Segwit or Segregated witness on: December 07, 2018, 04:47:54 AM
in short because it helps with bitcoin's scaling.

but it doesnt

But it already did.

Transactions per block = increasing
Median confirmation time = decreasing
Average tx fee = decreasing
8794  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I am a loser. My only question now is, how do I tell my wife on: December 07, 2018, 04:30:45 AM

right now your only option is to cut your losses and possibly even dump ETH that you have been hag holding all this time down to below $100 and next time try to educate yourself and use this bad experience to not repeat it again.

Having 12% of your original investment is pretty close to nothing. I am going to take the bold stance of disagreeing with you here -- ETH might go down to $50 but the fact is there is a huge ecosystem of projects built upon it, some of which have a lot of future potential, and it will never die out completely.

In all likelihood he probably won't be in a position to make this bad of a decision again for quite some time, but even if he was, I'm sure the lesson he learned is engrained pretty deep.

I never noticed Quagmire was left handed before.

Total market cap below $100 billion imminent.

Knife, falling.

All the sudden Tether looks attractive, appears to have its relative shit together.

You forgot to update your signature to reflect your turn-on-a-dime regarding your attitude to BCH.

Y'all are acting like this is the first time you've ever seen a pump.
8797  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: [PRE-SALE][ICO] Petro $PTR - Oil backed crypto currency launched by Venezuela on: December 07, 2018, 03:46:31 AM
Based on there being entries in the block explorer, it would appear they have a real coin now, though there's no downloadable wallet and you have to upload ID to them to see purchase options (no way in hell I'm doing that).

The coin has a premine of 100 million, which is based on the oil reserves, so I assume block rewards (for mining or for staking, both unachievable at present) will come from a pool set aside out of this 100 million.


Since the client code is inauditable I would say this is a really bad idea. First of all, they couldn't sell trading partners on this idea before -- what makes them think they're going to now? Unless their development team holds the hands of everybody willing to do this through the entire process (to make sure they do not lose their petros), I would think most countries are just going to avoid doing business with Venezuela altogether. Its kind of like a self-imposed embargo at this point.
8798  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: December 06, 2018, 04:01:09 AM

None. Of. Those. Zero. Money. Making. Experimental. Projects. Justify. Ethereum's. Exchange. Price.

The price justifies itself as the market is always right. Doesn't really matter how you believe things _should_ be, the market firmly believes otherwise. And if ETH falls to $50 a coin, then that's the way it was meant to be.

It doesn't matter how 'interesting' they are, if they don't make money they are worthless, and people that buy ETH just to put money into worthless projects are supporting garbage. And in turn are supporting ETH, which has no reason to exist outside of supporting garbage.

Again, the market disagrees with you. You're entitled to your personal opinion but that doesn't change the reality of the situation.

This isn’t a beginner thread so not the place to discuss the virtues of POW but you need to go listen to some Nick Szabo lectures on the topic

Far less relevant things are discussed here every hour of every day. Bitcoin requiring the power consumed by 5 million US households is nothing to sneeze at. Yet the market and capitalism dictates it to exist because it still remains profitable (though just barely). Hash rate has been falling recently so that's a start. It will obviously remain feasible until it isn't. Just saying PoW isn't winning over the hearts and minds of many environmentalists.

ETH now manfully engaged in the fight to become a double digit shitcoin.

Will it pull it off?

With aplomb.

I don't understand all this hate for ETH... It supports this gigantic, flourishing ecosystem of projects -- yes, many of them are shit but some of them are pretty interesting and legitimate. I think things like Maker, Augur and 0x are at the very least entertaining experiments that push the bounds of what can be done with the blockchain. Decentraland is also interesting as well.

Then you have stuff like Cryptokitties which is pretty effing pointless. I dunno, I just think even if the price sinks to $50 a coin it will never go away completely as too many other projects are dependent on it.

I also don't know how they can shift the whole thing to PoS... PoW is probably also the biggest downfall of BTC. The amount of energy that goes into mining is simply retarded.

It's just inevitable that they will pay for it.

How so?
