My opinion on hard forks hasn't changed much. The difference now is I think we can solve things without necessarily having to go with a hard fork, but I do still think it is a viable option.

Commenting on current events, I don't think we can compare what happened in Ethereum with what's happening with Bitcoin. A hard fork on an altcoin cannot be considered as a kind of "benchmark" or "testbed" for how would Bitcoin handle a fork, as Bitcoin is very distinct from any altcoin and attracts many more users with different use cases for the currencies... So this Ethereum fork doesn't tell us much.


I think this is a very big point of forks... It would eventually develop the coin further. The problem is the collateral damage, would forcefully developing the coin and skipping some corners while at it at the expense of the userbase be worth it? Food for thought, I guess

According to developers, yes, after 0.10 things are handled differently and just syncing is faster.

AOSP and Google Keyboard are slightly different indeed, but I guess that should be flagged as a bug... Although it is possible to download an unsigned version of Google Keyboard and have issues. Post on their thread or send them an email, curious as to what the developers say about that.

So the author is implying that verification systems on Bitcoin are worse than the ones on regular banking? I wonder where on Bitcoin has he seen money evaporating mysteriously...



Not sure of this... The idea isn't bad, but we'd risk going into that country coin craze again...


I don't think Greece's issues were supposed to be bullish on Bitcoin... It's more like "big whales were supposed to be bulish after what's happened on Greece"

This thread made me go and read what's happening with ETH. Does this sum up everything that's happened nicely?

Never really understood the goal of Ethereum or why does it exist and in what basis does it do something that is better than Bitcoin or that Bitcoin isn't capable of doing, or if it has something that drastically improves the usability of the blockchain and monetary tokens. Not really getting why there was a fork either (someone trying to control most of the hashrate, as far as I understood...?)

Despite this, I don't think Ethereum is a good benchmark for evaluating dangers and advantages of hard forking Bitcoin. Bitcoin is more widely known and accepted. I think we can call it the king of cryptocurrencies. You can fork all the altcoins you want. You'd probably only be able to benchmark possible problems in forking when forking Litecoin, and even so...

Why should you care for people who shunned you? Even if you made big they probably wouldn't know... And if suddenly they started to care for you that would be a bit suspicious.

Seems fair

I've been only paying attention to this from time to time and I've already seen more or less what was going on with the campaign, but haven't dedicated any time to this, or to posting/generally being on the forum. I can see now that the bot hasn't been correctly tracking payments and that payments were made on the 24th, 5th and 16th. Do payment between the 24th and the 5th reflect the approximate period of week and a half or just one week? The same goes for the following period. Amounts for these three payments are the same here, which I find odd. When are we getting paid now? How much? Can't even confirm how much should and how much will be paid due to bot outages.

I know it's easy to speak, that a campaign like this is hard to maintain and that it is still pretty good overall and has a more or less decent track record. However, problems are recurrent and some of the escuses for this are "internet outages"... Although I don't doubt the validity of these claims, this is something definitely not desirable for CoinsBank or its customers and definitely something that's quite odd with nowadays connections. If current bot maintainer cannot keep up with this, then there should be another maintainer or someone who can better replace the current one. That would be a great help to marcotheminer (and there were already users with way more positive trust than me offering to hold and distribute funds, which are pretty much always available and could aid the manager in fund distribution in a quick way)

I know this is just "pocket change", so to speak, but we all here are effectively being paid to advertise something, and I consider that payments aren't being carefully considered at the moment.

Adding to this, we need to switch to bi-weekly or monthly payments and do away with weekly confusion.

I think there are really no chances if you lost both...

This is interesting... Have you tried to encrypt an image, print it, scan it and decrypt it? This would be epic if something like this was possible.

This is not your regular wallet app.

As linked before on this thread, apparently you cannot run it on rooted phones. Here's a direct link to that. But this being Android there are probably ways to bypass this and I'm curious if breadwallet circumvents any bypasses.

I guess the Universe had to balance itself, since Karpeles and Shrem are out


He's pirateat40. One of the few who have the "OldScammerTag"...

No. Irreversible transaction are here to prevent scams too. The consequences would be people would cease to use Bitcoin. If transactions were reversible, the currency couldn't even be called Bitcoin anymore.

This was not a sale, it was a robbery, even more when there's Tesla representatives in Finland... You can get a Tesla directly from them for cheaper. I know: it's not for Bitcoin, but come on... Is paying with Bitcoin worth something like a 50k premium?

These aren't really the merchants we need.

If they sold two Tesla's with Bitcoin then this is, if I'm not mistaken, the third Tesla being sold with Bitcoins.

What? Nougat is unreleased, only announced.

OP correctly states Android M on the thread subject...


Thank you. This was to be expected. Good to see breadwallet's pratices on iOS didn't change on Android.

You can use Electrum.

This is great news, the best mobile wallet now on Android too. Unfortunately I have no Android devices with Android M. I'll see if I can update my tablet when I have time...

I wonder if this runs on rooted devices.

This article looks like kind of a clickbait with a catchy title, saying nothing new... Looks like he only wanted to advertise his website. These are not the ways to really destroy Bitcoins. Bitcoin would only be destroyed if we ceased to use it and miners stopped mining

Not sure what's wrong as I've never faced this issue, neither I'm an expert in key generation, but according to DannyHamilton (who has way more knowledge than me) here, you really just need to export from BTC wallet and import private keys on your LTC wallet.


Not sure what to suggest next. Maybe try with another client and see if you can import.
