Hey folks... it's me, yeah I'm back after vanishing so long ago LOL Just wanted to pop in and make a post today on the bitcoin white paper's official 10th Birthday... posting in this thread just because overall this thread has always been the place I posted the most in the last several years (hopefully mods won't delete it as off topic?) Wanted to say also that seems to me today at ten years into this great experiment, and guessing it might take something like twenty years for crypto to really take over as the real new global currency, a little perspective we are about half way to it being all said and done, either total failure or global dominance. I myself got into this stuff only about 5-ish years ago so I guess I'm personally "halfway thru the halfway", seems like a million years ago LOL But... yeah... well... that's about it. Hope y'all doin' well out there. I'm kinda laying low "out" of day to day worry on all the cryptoshit these days but still hangin' in there for this stuff to have all been actually worthwhile, in the end. Ciao for Now, bitches! LOL  P.S. Wow... COOL!!! Looks like my post triggered the top post on the 2000th page!!!  Good to see you back - and well done for being top of page 2000. Surely that's a good omen - stick around, the bear market should be over before too long. |

Ten years old, eh - many happy returns. I didn't meet the little bugger until it was a toddler, but it's looking fine and strong. A prodigy for sure, but just think what it will be when it's grown up.

You should also know the TV license has always been entirely to fund the BBC, through all of its outlets online, on TV and on radio which are free and carry no advertising or sponsorship. Most people in the UK rather like the BBC. Even if they do moan about it, they would not see it gone by any stretch of the imagination, nor do they prefer endless ad breaks, as some countries seem to love.
Personally, I'd be fine without the BBC, but then I don't watch Bake Off, Strictly, or whatever. In fact, my aerial hasn't been plugged in for eight or nine years now. I don't watch either, haven't had a TV since the 1990's - but I am a Radio 4 fan. It's UK PLCs soft power, the radio stuff is pretty much worldwide, which is funded buy the Foreign Office (ex-UK), not the license fee. IMHO the BBC is generally a huge asset that would be cut to ribbons if HMG paid for it directly. I know that is not why it is popular, but since we stopped actually making stuff as much as we used to, it matters in terms of its almost ubiquitous reach globally in reminding people we're here. |

there are quite a few Brits here and we have enough arguments on our own turf, without any ill-informed help, I can assure you.
that works the other way around when it comes to our firearms mate cheers from the colonies Point taken, Jojo. We all have our arguments within our borders, but take umbrage similarly to outsiders who slur us. There are some hateful fuckers in here, though. I will try to ignore 'em, not be part of lowering the tone. Promise. |

The United Kuckdom has been going down the drain for years now... Nothing new. Completely ruined by modern radical leftism. Better not watch tv without a license or buy a butterknife under 18.I am glad you know the UK so well. However, you obviously are not quite well-informed enough to know that the Tories (in power since 2010) are hardly what most people would call radical left, unless you think Margaret Thatcher was a socialist. You should also know the TV license has always been entirely to fund the BBC, through all of its outlets online, on TV and on radio which are free and carry no advertising or sponsorship. Most people in the UK rather like the BBC. Even if they do moan about it, they would not see it gone by any stretch of the imagination, nor do they prefer endless ad breaks, as some countries seem to love. OK, maybe the UK should let kids buy knives and stab each other (which has been an issue) or maybe you think less of them would be stabbed if they were armed? The thing is the UK worries about knives as it really doesn't have anything like a fine popular tradition of mass shootings to worry about, is it doing that wrong too? Well the UK has what the population of 66 million? That's just the population of California and Texas, we have plenty of States we could combine (that have plenty of guns) that haven't had a mass shooting and have more of a population. We're fucking massive here and we just pay for our advertisementless tv, I sure enjoy The Grand tour over the recent top gear. Honestly each nation has their issues, people like to talk shit on the US but it's because we're massive and information is open here. I'm sure plenty of wild crimes happen in India and China but just aren't wildly reported on. The UK can do the what the UK wants, just as any country can for all I care just don't push your countries views and don't mock ours. I have no desire to attack - I was defending the UK (see bolded nonsense above). For the record I have no personal hatred of Americans or the USA, I lived in Manhattan for a few years, on 2nd St. and C, where 2nd meets Houston. Loved it. I dislike ignorance, but I have no personal beef with most on here (excepting the obvious critters who spoil this place with the stench of hatred). One thing that is sadly apparent is Americans seem to understand the UK (and Brexit in particular) no better than British people understand calculating baseball batting averages. I do wish they realised it; there are quite a few Brits here and we have enough arguments on our own turf, without any ill-informed help, I can assure you. |

Applying for a xhomerx10 original :
Long day at work today... nice to do something to take my mind off it when I got home! Hope it fits  Avatar-sized  Looks supersweet. Love the background ! Unfortunately it seems like this new account of mine is too nooby for pictures, so I guess I'll have to be less of a lurker. probably for a hat as cool as this one ..... would gain some merit....  indeed its a very awesome creation, gonna collect it in my NEXT HAT update pity your old account is gone (how did you lose it?) It got hacked by some scammer. There were a whole bunch of accounts hacked around the same time then. I didn't use a very strong password as I felt a forum wasn't a particularly critical website, but still sucked. There but for the grace of god... Chucked you a bunch of merits, if you stick around and post a little more often you will reach a level you can wear the hat before too long. |

The most interesting thing is that this is not a classic pyramid - there is no need to pay dividends to anyone. So all this bit of crap can stay afloat (with a big course) for quite a long time.
Well the first part of this (at least) is copied: The most interesting thing is that this is not a classic pyramid - there is no need to pay dividends to anyone. Therefore, all this bitcoin crap can stay afloat (with a large rate) for a long time.
Will report this as shitpost - hopefully it will be deleted - and for plagiarism (even from a fellow shill in your sig campaign) you might get banned. |

My goal is to retire before age 40. If bitcoin keeps fucking around, I may be running out of time too. Besides, I can't stand another 3 years of hat bickering.
In my early 30’s, will be pretty upset if I’m not rich by 2022 tbh Early 40's here. Not sure I really *deserve* to retire yet.... but wtf, gimme another 5-10x and I will... or sorta. Even if you don't retire, it's nice to have some "fuck you" money. Agreed. That's my goal. Not retiring per se. Just *being able* to. Yep, agreed - having nothing to do would be grim. Let's face it, it might just end up in drinking all day. |

I recently sold my Monroe because I no longer see prospects. Even if Monero grows to the last peak, it will be a twofold increase. I think these tools are more accessible to scroll to another coin that can give us x5
Been a rollercoaster in your opinions in just a week, I see: I believe that this project can wait for a huge success, you just need to wait for ToTheMoon, I think it will be only in 2019. How to endure to this point.
What changed your opinion, since this wonderful addition to the debate. Nice to see such a long-term, man-of-steel strategist in our midst. |

Why are you prepared to risk your manuro coins on these contraptions but not your proper bitcoins?
I own a Ledger Nano S and use it with BTC and Monero. And have a Trezor One and keep some BTC on it. I meant a Trezor Model T in my earlier post... I think these contraptions offer a nice gobetween for cold storage and a usable wallet. Maybe that's how I should look at them, shame the Trezor possibility is just for the 'next one'. Maybe I'll actually open up one of the Nano S boxes |

Funny you ask - you're spot on. I am dubious about any decent amount of coin value being on a device. I got two Ledgers and a Trezor late last year and I have used none of 'em. It was around all the BTC forks that I was tempted - I found having to move coins and re-make all the wallets was such a pain. After Bitcoin Gold I gave up. It's been a year now - feel I ought to at least try with a bit - some people swear by hardware wallets, but I am probably too old school. Paper wallets feel simple and secure enough. |

Yeah baby it's fluffypwny time Careful you'll get JJG all twisted up bringing up that shitcoin in here. He's liable to write a wall of text. That said, This Might just put the Trezor One on my wish list. New Trezor Model T (old ones don't support it). More's the pity, I bought the Trezor one to be ready. Grrr... |

Why does nobody want to send me hats  HairyMaclairy is the only one I can trust when it comes to market speculation and hats brief survey of the #stateofthehats Update 16 May 2018
Since we began exploring HATCoin, much has happened in the HAT and blockchain communities. It has now been decided that HATCoin will be postponed until the community size is large enough to revisit this initiative.
However, we still believe that the HAT Community should be stakeholders and shareholders of the HATDeX platform. As such, we will be launching a crowd-funding initiative instead.
Please visit our crowd-funding site here. The First Real-Time P2P
Crypto-Fiat Exchange for Everyone
HAT.Exchange allows users complete control over their crypto assets
and offers the opportunity to purchase crypto with regular currencies.
Please be aware of other sites and scammers attempting to represent HAT.Exchange.
Do not share your private keys with anyone, even HAT.Exchange personnel.
You can also download the manual which offers step-by-step
instructions on using the app.  https://twitter.com/Excellion/status/863222697735540736Bah. There is only one true hatchain™ No pre-millinery, original mining, following the xhomerx10 white paper hat starting from the Hairy genesis hat. And only those who wear the true HAT™ follow the truth. |

XMR was added on exchange Tokens.net, same founders as Bitstamp. https://twitter.com/TokensNet/status/1055077358141689857Not really a big volume, but still better then nothing. Somewhere out there it went like this:
T Leader: XMR looking cheap, but let's get it cheaper. In this volume, it looks simple enough.
2nd in C: We're going in?
T Leader: We'll dump it first, find the bottom. I doubt we can drop it under $100, but let's see.
2nd in C: Understood.
T Leader: Tell the trolls
2nd in C: After the dump?
T Leader: You know the drill, wait a few days
2nd in C: I'll get them ready.
T Leader: Only pay them until 24 hours before we go in, that'll do it. Just while we accumulate a little after the dump, to keep morale low on the threads, irritate a little. Throw in a little fud if you can find any.
2nd in C: Sure, I will sort it. Those scum will do anything for a few sats a post.
(maybe..)
I was not terribly serious, BUT they do seem to have suddenly disappeared. You have to wonder... |

itcoin had to be accepted as a different form of payment at the official level. The next step is for German banks to buy Bitcoins as a reserve currency in exchange for the same gold and dollar.
Shit post. Will report. Edit: Thanks to Mod for acting. |
