I reckon him, Roger Ver and Jihan Wu are out there to sow confusion on the unaware public as bitcoin becomes bigger and more far reaching. They will keep pushing for bitcoin cash as the real bitcoin, and some people who have no understanding of what is happening and the history behind it will believe it us the real bitcoin supported by Satoshi Wright.

I think the Bitcoin Cash window of opportunity has already been and gone. It has no media attention. It's just another alt. No one beyond the BTC echo chamber has any interest in it and they're the ones who'll drive adoption, not the people inside it.

In time Mr Wu and Mr Ver will become historical footnotes.

As long as Jihan Wu supports it and Roger Ver still has his ardent followers, bitcoincash still has a chance to get the center stage. Do I think that it will overthrow bitcoin? No, but it will get enough attention and a fast growing market cap to make us think that a flippening might happen.

I reckon their goal is a threat of a flippening, not the flippening itself.

Chart update. Aeon is still in between the two trend lines, and it indicates that we are still in a good position to go farther up. So for the real holders, there is no need to worry. Also expect some people to start spreading FUD again as Aeon's price goes down. FUD and a drop commonly go together here in the forum.

@cicciobtc. Lewis does not need to put more pressure on himself by wanting to try to win the world championship in this gp. He knows this is his year and nothing can change that. Sebastian however, will need a mountainous measure of luck to turn this around. The real pressure is on him.

@krach. In your article you mentioned that Chael Sonnen and Dan Henderson are probably the strongest wrestlers Michael has faced in the octagon. How does George's wrestling to both of them and what can he do to bring something new in this fight to surprise Michael?

9008  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UFC 217: Bisping vs GSP Info and Betting Thread on: October 20, 2017, 01:19:28 AM
@Jating. George will win this. Michael Bisping is a big talker but George has the skills. Go to all the sportsbooks and look at the odds. There is a good rationale why they think George is the favorite.

If Michael wins, it will be because of luck or an error by George, like in Michael's fight versus Luke Rockhold.

Impossible unless a good portion of the world's money supply is used to pump it to that level. But we also did not anticipate bitcoin to reach beyond $1000 from only a few cents 5 to 6 years ago. Let us leave it to the market to take it where it wants to take it.
9010  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Calvin Ayre Declares Bitcoin Cash “The Only Bitcoin” on: October 20, 2017, 12:52:38 AM
More bribing by Roger Ver and co. He's paying people with twitter following to follow his altcoin, nothing new. We already saw this with McAfee etc.

 I mean look at this picture:

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DMbCwOVVAAEHN1s.jpg

Do I need to add anything more?

Calvin Ayre cannot be bribed. He is also a rich and accomplished business man himself. But what they are really doing is hyping bitcoin cash and try to confuse the community that it is more valuable than it really is.

Roger Ver has become one of the biggest scammers in the cryptospace. Now that he is releasing paid news about it, it is a good sign that it will pump soon.

@Juggy777. But were those leaked scripts confirmed to be real? I reckon many followers of the series said it was fake and that we should not take them seriously. However, they were all very well written and it still did a good job to get our attention.

You are welcome.

Just a tip. You should always look at the post count and the activity count. If they are the same every 2 weeks, there is a high chance that it is a farmed account.

9014  Bitcoin / Press / [2017-10-19] Russian Economic Official Just Said Bitcoin Is 'Worse Than Casinos' on: October 19, 2017, 01:13:51 AM
It is not worse than casinos for the people who know how to trade it. Its volatility is no worse than some securities in the stock market.

But he should not concern himself about the market around bitcoin and other cryptocoins. He should be focused on the technology and how it can help his country and his people. Sometimes arrogance makes a person think he knows everything. He is one of them, it might be the reason why he did not bother to look at the real value behind bitcoin.



In a talk at the World’s Festival of Youth in Sochi on Tuesday, Maksim Oreskin said bitcoin had characteristics that made it worse than casinos, state-backed Russian media outlet RT reported.

“As for bitcoin, if you look at how the value of this asset fluctuates, it’s dozens of percent up, then dozens of a percent down. An asset that can be available for an unqualified investor should not have such characteristics because it’s worse than casinos,” Oreskin said, according to RT. “First, you earn, then you will lose everything and be left with nothing,”

@aTriz. You are doing a good job, but I reckon you made a mistake in accepting this one, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=120945;sa=showPosts

Look at his post count and activity. They are mostly the same every 2 weeks. That is a sign of a farmed account made to be ranked up. His post history is also too gappy.

I used to help rizlarolla look for farmed accounts last year, so I have a small idea what the signs are.

9017  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Beware of Bittrex blocking withdrawals for "security" reasons on: October 18, 2017, 01:51:48 AM
So a friend of mine was trying to withdraw a certain amount of coins from Bittrex (around 1 BTC) and was faced with the need to now become verified on Bittrex to withdraw anything above 0.025BTC (accounts created prior to the 1st of August have a limit of 0.025BTC, newer accounts have 0 (lol)).

I don't know how many of you use Bittrex, if this is old news and just a copycat of another topic, but I felt like it needed to be put out there.

This is what they state:

"Due to the large number of leaked username and password databases, we are making changes to withdrawals to limit the damage of unauthorized access to your account.  This is not a substitute to having strong and unique passwords, protecting your email account, and having 2 factor authentication on your Bittrex account.  Bittrex strongly encourages you to have 2 factor authentication.  "

Ok, I'm all for security, but if people dealing cryptos are stupid enough to put qwertz1234 as their password and not enable 2FA, it's their own fault for being stupid.

Then comes the fun part (all from their support section):
-----------
"Withdraw Limits

1. If your password has been changed, you cannot make a withdrawal for 24 hours
2. If your account does not have 2FA, you are limited to withdrawing up to 1 BTC (or equivalent) per day ==> wtf, I had 2FA enabled forever yet my limit is 0.025? So with less security you have a bigger limit. Wow. Much sence. Very secure.

3. Please check below to see what limit your account falls under.
Unverified Accounts created before 08/01/17: 0.025 BTC (or equivalent) per day ==> Hey, I mister miseeks, look at meee
Unverified Accounts created on or after 08/01/17: 0 BTC (or equivalent) per day
Basic Accounts: 3 BTC (or equivalent) per day with two-factor enabled. ==> I'm fine with that
Enhanced Accounts: 100 (or equivalent) BTC per day with two-factor enabled"

-----------

So I go ahead and enter some bogus name and address in their basic validation form. Hey, you can't blame a guy for trying: no official document is required for a basic account and nothing on their page states you have to input correct information (or I missed it). I click on the apply button and it says "verifying public records" or some other shit. Obviously, their results turn up empty. But oh wow, I can't even re-apply for a basic account with "correct" information. The only thing you can do from there is get an enhanced account where you need to take a selfie of yourself etc. Which is exactly what I, and any person involved into cryptos, don't want. I don't know the people at Bittrex.

Trying not to cringe...

Now, ok, I probably fucked myself I guess. But still, this poses a number of questions:

1. For one, I have never received notification from Bittrex that at some point in time, I would have to upgrade my account or be limited to 0.025 BTC a day
2. What public records are they looking up to check your info? What if I'm not in the public records they query? Imagine you have 2-3 BTCs on there that you can no longer withdraw
3. What happens if you unintentionally misspell your name or address?
4. Even if I get verified, take a nice smiling picture of myself and send over all my info, what guarantee do I have they won't use my information for other purposes? I tell you: not a single one! I don't know the people at Bittrex, and if a company I deal with starts to just change their T&C like that, stopping me from having access to my funds, you sure as fuck can't trust them.

I already knew you couldn't trust exchanges, but I thought this should be pointed out (again). Everyone should leave Bittrex (or any exchange for that matter) and stash their coins in their own wallets at home.

I know some or a lot of you will go ahead and say "big deal, just get verified and be done with it". Fuck no! This is not what the cryptos where made for. And at the very least, Bittrex should have communicated, which they haven't, and they should have made their due diligence and let people withdraw their fund before implementing all this BS. I'm sorry but this looks like a hostage situation or a play to identify everyone. Call me paranoid if you want, but their leverage is very simple and efficient: either you give them all your info or say bye bye to your coins and deal with the pain of withdrawing small amounts every day, for which you will of course pay the fees every time :-).

Lucky me, I only have like 0.06 BTC on Bittrex. I have opened a support ticket on their support page, no reply in 24 hours...

First, I am quoting your post as proof and to put a timestamp on it.

Second, I would like to know why there is a repeating pattern in all or most of the recent complaints on Bittex. I have noticed that the problem is always with the poster and his friend, or with just his friend. It would help if you tell us what country you are from, when you and your friends made your accounts and what coins are used in the exchange.

I speculate that there is a money laundering ring that has started using Bittrex.

@Kemarit. I reckon Michael Bisping's big mouth and his charisma will get some casual fans and gamblers to take his side. So if you are betting for Michael, you have to do it now before the odds start falling.

For George St Pierre fans like me, it is better to wait until the odds reach +100 or more. He has not fought in the octagon for almost 4 years, therefore betting on -120 would not really be that smart.
9019  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Game of Thrones - Who will rule? Odds and betting discussion on: October 18, 2017, 01:08:34 AM
Some post worthy betting updates for Game of Thrones season 8! I have discovered that Bovada has their betting odds available right now, and I reckon some of them look very profitable and fun to bet.

As fans of the series, we know that there is a big possibility that Cersei will be killed by Euron. We also know that there is a possibility that all of Daenerys' dragons will die, and look at their odds for Who will rule at the end of season 8?

I know a sportsbook that still gives +400 for Jon Snow.

Bovada GOT season 8 odds below.

WHO WILL BE KILLED OR DESTROYED FIRST IN THE "CLEGANE BOWL?"

Sandor "The Hound" Clegane +300
Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane -500

HOW MANY VIEWERS WILL TUNE IN FOR THE SEASON 8 PREMIERE?

OVER 11.5 million -120
UNDER 11.5 million -120

WHO WILL KILL CERSEI LANNISTER?

Jaime Lannister -200
Arya Stark +750
Tyrion Lannister +750
Someone/something else +250

WILL ANOTHER ONE OF DAENERYS' DRAGONS DIE IN SEASON 8?

YES +450
NO -800

WHO WILL RULE WESTEROS AT THE END OF SEASON 8?

Jon Snow/Aegon Targaryen -150
Daenerys Targaryen +200
Jaime Lannister +1000
Tyrion Lannister +2000
Cersei Lannister +2500
Sansa Stark +2500
Arya Stark +5000
Bran Stark +5000
Night King +5000
Varys +5000
Euron Greyjoy +10000
