You should be asking what influence rising interest rates will have. The real reason for the emergency Fed meetings...I strong suggest clicking to read the entire post: [...]
Thus contrary to popular delusions/expectation, rising interest rates in the USA will kick off a booming stock market that would double or triple by 2018. But before that boom, there will be a bear market trap because most investors think only domestically and will be looking the domestic fundamentals as Mike Maloney is and thus get trapped in a bear market fakeout, which will V bottom and shit to a sling shot as the international capital stampedes into the USA as this rising interest rate scenario will devastate all the economies outside the USA for numerous reasons including the fact that there $10 trillion in corporate bonds abroad denominated in US dollars meaning those borrowers are short the dollar! Also the numerous dollar pegs, such as the Yuan, Hong Kong, etc are going to break for a similar reason, causing a cascade domino contagion effect.
This bear trap is why gold and crypto-currencies have not likely seen their lows yet and I am still expecting a selloff in gold to $850 or below and Bitcoin to below $150. The rising interest rates will break the 35 year Treasury Bond bubble and cause massive cash to seek a home in the stock market. But first it will cause a liquidity crisis bear market fakeout crash because of so many people caught on the wrong side of the trade and needing to sell other liquid assets to cover.
Mike Maloney is observing the correlation of the monetary base diverge from the Whilshire 5000 (USA stock market capitalization) because the international capital inflows are starting to offset the rising interest rates (the market actually sets rates, not the Fed).
The emergency meetings of the Fed is because they are losing control. The market is raising the rates and there is nothing they can do to stop this freight train.

You forgot to quote this: Can't you read between the lines that Charles is distancing himself and his company from the investment securities law implications of ICOs.
Man, you should stop explaining everything as an attempt to stay away of SEC ruling. Your posts are not only racist (because imply superiority of the USA) but are also plain annoying because were repeated too many times.
In this very case Charles explained his intentions pretty clear, no need to create conspiracy theories.Nice try to divert attention away from your money grabbing scams: |

Mike Maloney doesn't understand what is going because he only has a domestic perspective. You need to have a global capital flows analysis to understand what is really happening, which only Martin Armstrong can provide.
Martin Armstrong warned about this meeting and explained what it is really about given his extensive inside sources:https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/north_america/americas-current-economy/federal-reserve-call-expedited-meeting-for-monday-april-11th/The negative interest rates are creating a real crisis. This was the real reason why Yellen met at the White House. We are moving toward the realization that the central banks have created an impossible situation from which there is no escape. Keeping lower interest rates because all levels of government are hopelessly in debt is wiping out the pension funds.
Germany’s Federal Finance Minister Schaeuble is now openly blaming Mario Draghi for the electoral success of the AFD in Germany, which is the Alternative for Germany (In German: Alternative für Deutschland, AfD). The AFD is a right-wing populist party that is also the Eurosceptic political party in Germany. The AFD has risen from 0% to nearly 40% in about 2 years.
Additionally, Schaeuble seems to be rumbling that the ECB is creating a huge problem with negative interest rates. If the ECB does not change its monetary policy radically and soon, Germany will be engulfed in its own major pension crisis. Central banks may be forced to raise rates to try to bail out pension funds. This has nothing to do with the economic trends.
The pension crisis is becoming a real nightmare for federal and state budgets and now depend on exceptionally low interest rates while pension funds are going bankrupt. Raising rates to help the pension funds will wipe out government budgets. This entire idea of Keynesian economics, which says that government is capable of managing the economy by raising and lowering interest rates, is a complete disaster. These people are incapable of forecasting the economy, as former Secretary of the Treasury Larry Summers openly admitted to Bloomberg TV. Those who think they are endowed with magical powers to manipulate society have created a complete mess and they are too brain-dead to realize the consequences. Our computer is extremely bearish on government. The turning point (2015.75) was the PEAK IN GOVERNMENT. Ever since that turning point, we have begun the downhill move that is destined to collapse into January 2020 (2020.05).
Specifically, Mike Maloney is expecting a stock market crash but he is wrong, although he will correct for a short period of time which will trap the bears:Keep in mind that this is the most pessimistic rally in history with the highest short-interest. This is why the market keeps pushing higher, yet slowly. It is eating through the pessimistic analysis and when rates begin to rise, there will be another wave of selling trapping the bears later in the year.
This is Martin Armstrong's Sling Shot scenario.
MA's thesis has been for several years consistently that after 2015.75, we would see all the major economies except the USA begin to collapse due to the global sovereign debt crisis, and that international capital would exit these other economies and buy the US dollar, US stocks, and other safe haven assets such as gold, trophy real estate, collectibles (and I presume crypto-currency). Do note that the Baltic Dry Index rolled over from it's deadcat bounce headed down again precisely on MA's predicted March 13/14 Pi model date.
Thus contrary to popular delusions/expectation, rising interest rates in the USA will kick off a booming stock market that would double or triple by 2018. But before that boom, there will be a bear market trap because most investors think only domestically and will be looking the domestic fundamentals as Mike Maloney is and thus get trapped in a bear market fakeout, which will V bottom and shit to a sling shot as the international capital stampedes into the USA as this rising interest rate scenario will devastate all the economies outside the USA for numerous reasons including the fact that there $10 trillion in corporate bonds abroad denominated in US dollars meaning those borrowers are short the dollar!

This bear trap is why gold and crypto-currencies have not likely seen their lows yet and I am still expecting a selloff in gold to $850 or below and Bitcoin to below $150. The rising interest rates will break the 35 year Treasury Bond bubble and cause massive cash to seek a home in the stock market. But first it will cause a liquidity crisis bear market fakeout crash because of so many people caught on the wrong side of the trade and needing to sell other liquid assets to cover.
Mike Maloney is observing the correlation of the monetary base diverge from the Whilshire 5000 (USA stock market capitalization) because the international capital inflows are starting to offset the rising interest rates (the market actually sets rates, not the Fed).
The emergency meetings of the Fed is because they are losing control. The market is raising the rates and there is nothing they can do to stop this freight train.The United States of America is emerging as a top tax haven after beating Switzerland, the Cayman Islands, and Panama. You can have secrecy in the USA and states such as Delaware, Nevada, South Dakota, and Wyoming are now competing with each other to provide foreigners with the secrecy they need. However, many are now just migrating to the States. Some 3,000 millionaires from Greece; 10,000 millionaires from France; 6,000 millionaires from Italy; 2,000 millionaires from Spain, and about 2,000 millionaires from Russia have all migrated to the USA. The trend is picking up momentum as tensions between Muslims and Christians rise throughout Europe. After the revelation of the Panama Papers, in which Americans were named the least, the trend is now picking up speed.
We also warned that only a closing above the 17750 reversal would see little follow-through into the next week. Why would we say such a thing? April is a turning point and so is June, and then when we get to August we have the Republican Convention, so it does not appear that we are in a runaway trend to the upside yet. We are preparing to breakout but not quite ready for prime time.
Moreover, the weekly array also shows a choppy trend for the weeks of the 11th and 25th and volatility begins to rise in May. So once again, a clear-sailing trend does not appear to be emerging just yet.
Nevertheless, even technically, the Dow is penetrating resistance and attempting to muscle its way ahead, despite those yelling there will be a huge crash once again.
It does not appear that we are ready for complete liftoff until the first quarter of 2017. It appears that we are looking at a collapse in public confidence and that is what we need for liftoff in this shift from public to private confidence. The Panama Papers will help with time. All governments are corrupt. That is a foregone conclusion. The question remains, when will the general public reach the reality that government is not there to protect their future? Politicians only fill their own pockets and are no different than the communist leaders before 1989.
So support now lies at 17434 and 17120. Daily closings below these numbers will signal a near-term correction. Holding 17434 on a closing basis in any retest of support signals a revisit of the resistance. Only a weekly closing above 17846 will signal a retest of the major high. Do not expect a breakout until 2017.
The Dow Jones took out the Weekly Bullish but not the key one at 17846. This is why we are basing without immediate follow-through. Nonetheless, our primary technical targets for the year at 17345, 18791 and 18880. Holding the 17345 level warns that we are still move to the upside. A weekly closing above 17846 will signal a retest of the major highs and the potential to make a new high even yet. We can see that from the chart above that the technical support on the weekly level rests at the 17619 area. Holding this is warning that further upside is likely. Keep in mind that BECAUSE we made the new lows in the NASDAQ and in the S&P500 but not the Dow, demonstrates what we have been warning about that this is still a capital inflow for the USA.
From a timing perspective, we still see the key weeks ahead as 04/25 and 05/09 with volatility picking up in May and then we have a Directional Change cluster in June near the BREXIT vote. Keep in mind that may in Europe and praying Britain votes to exit for they see this as the catalyst for the demise of the EU.
The timing clearly is showing June and August as key targets for now. This is centered around the BREXIT vote in June and the Republican Convention at the end of July. Directional changes are warning of a choppy affair until the first quarter next year.
Keep in mind that this is the most pessimistic rally in history with the highest short-interest. This is why the market keeps pushing higher, yet slowly. It is eating through the pessimistic analysis and when rates begin to rise, there will be another wave a selling trapping the bears latter in the year.

Putin signs Ponzi criminalization Bill: where's Sergey?Up till now, Russia had a pretty laissez faire towards Ponzi and pyramid schemes, but a new law just introduced makes running one a criminal offence in itself for the first time. Maybe not entirely unconnected with the disappearance of Russian Ponzi Superstar Sergey Mavrodi and the abrupt shutdown of MMMGlobal "Republic of Bitcoin", which was mainly administered out of Russia. http://www.rapsinews.com/legislation_news/20160330/275727532.html |

Yeah like Ethereum and Dash and oil companies that pollute, etc...
Things are how they are, however unfortunately.. I am damn glad meritocracy of market value drives nature and not subjective morals. Otherwise we'd be fucked. Maybe one day you'll understand to stop fighting nature for your irrelevant moral desires.
Whose fault is if they don't keep their computer under proper working order. You want to empower the government to do the job that the individual is unwilling to take responsibility for. And precisely what can the powerless government do about botnets. Useless and non-meritocractic morals are despicable, irrelevant noise like the clanging of pots and pans in protest of reality. I had to stop my reading here. Since implicit social contract creation and implementation society has been improving significantly. Important to state here that social contract is against state of nature, in which we would be ultimatly directed to make war against each other (to make stuff simple, like if we were monkeys back in the days). You missed the entire point which is the economic argument is not impacted by the moral one. So the moral one is economically irrelevant. Whether the moral argument is relevant in other contexts was not my point, so please don't construct a strawman to attack with, because I consider that to be either disingenuous or idiotic or both. And definitely disrespectful of my scarce time. I take the time to comment here to help someone then they return the favor by sidestepping my point with a strawman (not you), which drags me into a cesspool of talking past each other. Inefficient. And I entirely disagree with your stated theory (the underlined part), but that is a longer discussion that you could make in the Politics & Society forum. CoinCube is particularly interested in that sort of theoretical discussion. |

jimscarver, that is a good summary and I agree with the technical aspects of your comments based on my reading of the 51 page Synereo white paper. However not all the details are in that white paper, as had been covered in discussion between the Synereo lead dev and myself in the prior discussion (linked upthread).
So there are a few counter points:
1. See my prior post as quoted by fartbags immediately above your post, which argues that any advantage Synereo might have in prioritizing relevance of content, it is very unlikely to spur any adoption. They should not raise funding until after they prove some significant adoption. A release of beta code is not significant adoption.
2. I still argue the AMPs and model of compensating people to share is incorrect and is just to justify selling an ostensibly illegal unregistered investment security ICO.
3. As I said, their specification is not complete and public and thus we can't really evaluate if the technical (technobabble) claims are true. There is no way I will be digging in their source code to try to reverse engineer such DD research.
4. I simply don't believe that sharing is the main problem. Humans work out cleverly how to game Facebook and achieve the sharing they want. Humans are more clever than any static algorithm. IMO, the main problems people need solved in the realm of social network and social distribution are ones that are not even on Synereo's near-term radar afaics.

Please explain how TouchID with a secure password is dependent on DRM?
Apple can't force people to adopt strong security if they have no desire to. Those who have a desire to, will use a secure password and TouchID (or not use Apple device).
I don't see the citations that show me that Apple has forced everyone to accept DRM for their security?
Apple has not forced everyone to accept DRM as their security in the FBI case since a user could use a secure password and not use TouchID. What Apple has done: 1) Discourage the use of strong security by using a numeric password as the default. 2) Give the user a false sense of security by relying on DRM as for security 3) Making the situation far worse by misleading the public during the Apple / FBI case rather than come clean on their security weaknesses TouchID relies on DRM because it relies on Apple's proprietary software and software installation lock to match the fingerprints. If one changes the software then one may be able to defeat this. This is what the FBI did. Apart for the fact that getting someone's fingerprints is really not that difficult especially if one considers a government adversary. I mean in the FBI case the FBI had access to both the terrorist's fingerprints and the terrorist's corpse. By the way Apple is not alone here. There is a lot of security theater being pushed on unsuspecting consumers. Furthermore when the security flaws are exposed companies resort in many cases to litigation rather than address the security problems they have created. This is a perfect example involving major vehicle manufacturers. http://blog.caranddriver.com/hackers-crack-key-fob-encryption-used-by-more-than-25-automakers/Basically if the "security" is proprietary it simply cannot be trusted. Edit: The bold point is critical to understanding the security of a crypto currency. If the security is proprietary or dependent upon proprietary software then it should not be trusted. Not to violate smooth et al's (and my prior acknowledgement) request to stop this line of discussion because it is mostly off topic here, I just want to cap off by saying I agree with ArticMine on every thing, except the reality that consumers won't buy such an honest marketed device that he advocates because as smooth agreed, typing a long password is a PITA and a separate hardware key on a key chain is also considered a PITA (something else to lose) by the masses. If you are part of the 0.001% who want strong security, that option is available to you on the Apple devices. I don't think it is fair for us to tell Apple how to market their devices such that they can maximize sales. Criticize the masses or better yet accept reality. I understand the relevance here to Monero is: 1. That Apple bans crypto-currency (CC) wallets. And is able to enforce the ban with DRM unless your jailbreak your device (which voids the warranty). 2. Perhaps Monero folks think that if Apple teaches the masses to be security conscious then more of them will be attuned to the benefits of private CC such as Monero. 3. General aversion to closed source. My relevant comment to this thread, is this exempifies why Monero can't create JAMBOX. They don't understand marketing. |

question to charles why dont you join
Can't you read between the lines that Charles is distancing himself and his company from the investment securities law implications of ICOs. He is all for collaboration of the technology. So he won't "join" in the sense of being tied into a promotion of an ICO. He will be amiable with those who want to develop the technology around block chains. His actions and the way he has stated it is very professional. Please stop berating Charles. Can we get some clarity why you were listed on the team page please. Also I appreciate the answers.
This is why I got so angry. There is no formal relationship. Waves should have not listed Alex as a team member. Alex nor I were consulted in this decision. Using someone's name or work to raise millions of dollars is a serious concern and should not be taken lightly. Scorex isn't designed to be a full and secure cryptocurrency. It's a great platform for rapid experimentation, which is badly needed in academia and industry. In fact in the announcement of scorex, there was some text criticizing ICOs. It's one of the reasons I loved the project when I found it last year. This is not a debate about open source. Not once has anyone said scorex cannot be used. It's an argument about iohk personnel being represented as employees or partners of another Venture for the purpose of raising millions of dollars. It is something that I cannot permit. I asked privately for it to stop and then had to escalate after the waves project continued to imply via proxies a relationship. I assume it will stop now so I wish the project well and the best of luck. |

rangedriver wins the crowdsourcing of the cure to my illness for suggesting Oregano oil. Well I don't want to make a sure conclusion, because I've had relapses in the past every time I thought I was improving. But the changes I am observing to myself over the past several days are extremely encouraging.
The breakthrough seemed to come a few days ago when I decided to start taking the Oregano oil sublingually instead of digesting it. Also I had increased to taking it 5 - 6 times per day. I also increased the Bentonite clay doses to 3 - 4 times per day between meals. The other significant change I had made in the past few days was starting to eat 5 eggs per day instead of only small tuna (no mercury risk). Also I was craving dark greens as I started to heal, so I started to eat a huge plate of cooked down "collard greens" per day. And thus I was able to reduce my oatmeal intake slightly, since I had increased my carbos and fiber from vegetables. When I first started this change, I immediately got sinus and throat effects as if I was getting more sick and my eyes got so irritated I could hardly see. That lasted for about 2 - 3 days, but now suddenly I am starting to feel really, really good.
The reason I decided to radically increase the dosage and go sublingual to increase absorption into the blood stream, was because I was pissed off that nothing was working. I threw all caution to the wind and decided I had nothing to lose.
1. The "75 year old skin" effect I had obtain on my shoulders and upper back during my illness (especially past year) is clearing. The pigment had turned to brown splotches with pink areas in a very rapid change which didn't seem to make sense to me as a sudden shift around age 50 and I had thought it might be caused by my illness. This has cleared up significantly and my skin is miraculously looking more normal again.
2. My voice has returned to deeper, more masculine. My gf said to me today, "are you sick, what happened to your voice?". She had never heard me with my normal, male testosterone voice.
3. I am no longer getting pimples on my face and tongue nor red irritated splotches on my face that would ooze clear liquid when I would scratch them (at least not past days since I made the above changes).
4. My thought process has been less arduous and fighting fatigue back to way it should be where I am exploding with thoughts with ease.
5. My gf noticed I am talking non-stop changed from when I refused to talk most of the time (to conserve energy).
6. My sleep is easy and I can sleep anytime I want to. The insomnia had become so bad with my illness that I could barely sleep 5 hours and only after I had stayed awake for so long that I would collapse. Now I can just decide to go lay down and get sleepy like a normal human being can.
7. The pain in my stomach/abdomen is for the most of the time non-existent!
8. I was able to get and hold an erection.
I don't know if this is permanent. But it is uber encouraging! After suffering for years and trying every sort of experimental cure, I am so excited maybe I can work and live normally again!
Note I have not yet really pushed myself athletically yet, so that will be a real test of whether this is a cure. And I do still have lingering symptoms, including my eyes still getting slightly irritated, some slight peripheral neuropathy effects, and slight MS-like symptoms at the back of the skull, but all very slight and improving.
I think it was important to share this given I may try to lead/join some open source and commercial projects now.
And especially to give rangedriver the credit he is due (which is not really enough to show the value this means to me, if it is really the cure).
I should mention that Jason Hommel suggested Oregano oil to me in the past years ago, but I thought he meant topically only. And this process of learning about which homeopathic treatments are bullshit and which are really powerful has been a very deep learning curve for me. I went in with an open mind and didn't favor one or the other and tried to climb down the rabbit hole.
Also I can't be sure it is only the Oregano oil and not also the Bentonite clay and dietary changes as well.
Edit: I had mentioned upthread that I had cut out all vegetable oils from my diet within the past month, as these are poisons. And also my only grain has been oatmeal lately.

If you don't want 1/50K bruteforceability (i.e. you want strong end-to-end security) you have to turn off TouchID.
And then again my point remains, that open source or not, a long secure password is a PITA and Apple makes that option available. Sorry I think religion got the better of your judgement. |

Since security is only as secure as its weakest point, you can choose to increase the security of a 4 or 6-digit passcode by using a complex alphanumeric passcode. You can do this when creating a passcode by tapping ‘Passcode Options’ and selecting Custom Alphanumeric Code.
Yeah it is getting way off topic and your citations adds more holes to ArticMine's points. Bottom line is it is very difficult to secure a mass market mobile device. |

Why would a phone reset lose my fingerprint hash  Ask apple. Are you saying that is a fact? Any citation on that? |

But that is because the user didn't wipe their fingerprint off the phone. That doesn't prove that TouchID has an insecure DRM.
Precisely what sort of access would you recommend for a mobile device? Uses will not memorize a secure password.
A separate key they carry on their keychain?
Be honest with the end user rather than try to mislead in order to market. Giving the end user a false sense of security is far worse than no security at all. The key here is that the end user makes an informed choice. The user then makes a trade off between security and convenience. 1) A secure password. 2) A separate key that can be inserted into the device. 3) No security. Rely only on physical possession. User does not keep sensitive data on the device. 4) Weak security / DRM. Useful only if one wants to delay rather than prevent access. This can be effective where time is of the essence to an attacker. Please explain how TouchID with a secure password is dependent on DRM? Apple can't force people to adopt strong security if they have no desire to. Those who have a desire to, will use a secure password and TouchID (or not use Apple device). I don't see the citations that show me that Apple has forced everyone to accept DRM for their security? |

But wouldn't the TouchID be creating a secure password that only the user knows (by hashing the fingerprint data)?
I am thinking Apple recommends the 6 digit only because they know most users can't remember a long secure password. That is why Apple created TouchID.
Thus I am sorry, but I think you are incorrect on this issue.
I do think Apple uses a separate password to control which s/w you can install, which I detest, but that is an orthogonal issue.
TouchID. has already been long since being cracked. https://www.ccc.de/en/updates/2013/ccc-breaks-apple-touchid I mean seriously someone's phone is not going to have their fingerprints on it? Giving people a false sense of security in order to sell security theater is detestable. But that is because the user didn't wipe their fingerprint off the phone. That doesn't prove that TouchID has an insecure DRM. Precisely what sort of access would you recommend for a mobile device? Uses will not memorize a secure password. A separate key they carry on their keychain? P.S. this is important to me because my former colleague and boss if a top researcher at Apple. And I have his ear. So I don't want to present an argument to him that is flawed. TouchID is, at present, a convenience feature that allows fast unlocking functions instead of typing in a passcode. It is never required and the passcode is always required. Thus it can't possibly add any additional security beyond what the passphrase already provides. What they have planned for the future I have no idea. But if you can access with TouchID, then you can justify typing a secure passcode if you want one because you won't lose access if you forget your passcode (or only have it written down at an inconvenient location). If you are traveling away from the inconvenient location, and your phone resets for whatever reason (including an OS bug/crash, dead battery, etc.), you will lose access to it. Also some other operations you might want to perform such as upgrades require that actual passcode, not touchID. So this is, at present, impractical. Also, you will lose access entirely if you forget the strong password and don't even have it written down in an inconvenient location. I am asking for proof that doing that, will still rely on DRM which can be used to decode your private files. If you use a strong password, you wouldn't be following Apple's recommendations, which was what ArticMine's said earlier. Sorry I am not seeing it the way you are trying to spin it. What I see is that there is no solution for a long password in any case where you wouldn't leave it an inconvenient location. Open source or not. Apple has done the best they can, by allowing you to have a very secure password with a fingerprint access where you don't need the secure password. Why would a phone reset lose my fingerprint hash Citations please. And also citation that Apple recommends 6 letter passcode when using TouchID and makes no mention of the option to set a secure password when using TouchID? |
