Good old days

I guess that the "Useless Ethereum Token" was the road opener and ... well, it's a classic.

Since it was not my find, I will post it with the original comment too:

2. Always wash your hand - do not forget to wash your hand or even your arm and faces after going outside.

If you only have one arm and you have more than one face, it's too late - the virus got you already.  :/

but realistically it will not end for months, just as the vaccine will not hit the market before September (at best) after clinical animal and human studies are conducted.

I don't know if the news can be trusted, but it looks like a drug already existing may actually be good against covid19: http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2020-03/17/c_138887971.htm

some whales wanna bring it under 3k as per info from a 500btc holder. Well let's c what will happen, stay healthy n happy ❤

Indeed, let's see what's going to happen.
If there would have not been radio buttons I would have checked all excepting the 2k.  Grin

I am not convinced by such news coming unofficially "from some whales", but for now anything can happen. All we can do now is BTFD as long as we have spare money for investing... or just watch the show.

Another idea would be to help others have a good laugh, else suicide could start soon competing the virus.
And I see that Vod is doing great in that direction  Cheesy
9246  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Nasdaq turns out to be the most correlated asset with BTC this year on: March 17, 2020, 07:50:25 AM
Please tell me your thoughts!

I've seen something interesting in Bitcoin history: as soon as somebody finds a correlation between Bitcoin price movement and something else's price movement (usually stocks, indeed), the market decides to prove it wrong.
Even if some such movements are in sync sometimes, that happens for short periods of time, which proves nothing.
You also started with "this year". It's a good direction for facing the truth  Wink
9247  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How can I restart a dead altcoin and continue the development?? on: March 17, 2020, 07:46:25 AM
Some of the coins were not scam. I remember HeavyCoin, for example.
Such coins may even have full github source code and list of bugs and fixes.

But.. most such coins are from the (dead) era when a coin was considered good only because it had a new mining algorithm.
Those days are imho long gone and never to return. Now a coin has to be better than that. It has to have a good use, a good platform behind it, an idea, a niche; else we can simply use Bitcoin or some established altcoins, which we already do, so your effort will be useless.

So the conclusion is basically the same: you will have to come up with a brilliant idea, not just programming skills.

So, what did i miss? can some one explain to me how big is the max block size please?

One of the things SegWit has introduced is an "increase of capacity". The witness data is not counted in the 1MB.

Since decentralized crypto can't be controlled by the government, it's much harder for them to monitor it than the cash that they're the one providing the community. And with crypto transactions it's also harder to track than paper money. And it won't be that suspicious if you transfer big amount of money with crypto unlike cash.

They don't have to control crypto. They have to properly regulate the businesses that handle crypto.
Of course, it would not be a perfect measure, but money control is also far from perfect.

Being strict on crypto - especially on individuals - will most probably solve nothing and also may restrict human rights. Plus, it's not an easy task, especially as crypto is not physical.

I don't know if I should call this a raffle or directly scam.

The terms: invest into an unknown coin and attempt to pump it. Then expect a newbie with no posts and no strings attached hold a fair raffle (based on what?!) and pick you one of the winners of a quite impressive prize.
No. This is not a raffle. This is fishing for idiots.
9252  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: This is it , it's the end of cryptos on: March 16, 2020, 09:02:41 AM
Well guys this is the end ,it was a great ride

All right. Good bye.
I hope you don't mind if I stay a little longer. Maybe you're right, but I doubt that.
The price looks bad, but the technology is still a marvel and I think that the price will reflect that too at some point again.
9253  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: US Woman Funding ISIS With Bitcoin on: March 15, 2020, 03:50:38 PM
However, it is another reason for the authorities to be strict with cryptocurrency as it is their way to fund and support ISIS.

As said, crypto is just a tool. And with other correct tools bitcoin can be (and is!) tracked, hence she was caught.
I don't know why authorities should be more strict with crypto than with cash, for example. They should actually just treat crypto in the same way as money and the other means of payment.
9254  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Blockchain Wallet Emptied Twice in 1 week - Funds are Still in Thief's Wallet on: March 14, 2020, 05:22:30 PM
OP, I really hope that you know that the coins don't actually stay in your phone and anybody who has access to your private key or seed can spend them, right?
You should have not allowed people send more funds to your wallet when you've seen it's compromised.


The fact you didn't get any info from Blockchain.com that the funds have left may mean that they were spent using a different wallet (which is easily possible as long as somebody else has your seed/private keys)

China seems to be back on track.

Yep, China is getting back to normal. The top problems are in Europe now (+Iran and S.Korea). US seem to be "catching up" too (in a bad way).
9256  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Beginner question on: March 14, 2020, 02:20:49 PM
Bitcoin is "yours" only if it's in a wallet you are controlling.
And you are controlling a wallet only if you have its private key or seed.


There are multiple types of wallets.
If you kept your coins at an exchange, that's not your coins, since you have only an account (the exchange holds the private keys).
If you have your coins at an online wallet, most probably you have, again, just an account.
If you have a local wallet installed by yourself and was told to keep safely a seed, then you have your own wallet and the money is yours (!! as long as you are not careless and allow the private keys get into others' hands too !!)
9257  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2020-03-06] Bitcoin is 'digital gold,' says Finder co-founder on: March 14, 2020, 01:15:32 PM
It changed all to declare money as a chain of SIGNATURES mined by honest miners following the rules set in stone ( as DNA is)

Quite nice that "rules set in stone" part. But you tried to shift the meaning from birth/inheritance to something else and made it work against you. Most coins have nowadays PoW, even many shitcoins, and it's PoW that makes all this possible. So you are not on the right track.

And the "hones miners" part, allow me have a good laugh. Luckily Satoshi was brilliant and made the system in a way the miners are forced to act in a honest manner (to avoid the risk to lose funds), else Bitcoin would have been doomed.

bitcoin - the DNA that did start everything

I don't want by any mean to minimize Bitcoin's place in all this phenomenon, but if you start talking about starting DNA I have to come in.
Bitcoin was not the start. Bitcoin inherited knowledge "and DNA" from its predecessors, like "b-money" and "bit gold".

here is some of the words. ignoramus candlelight cashiered corporately. There's actually 17 total words now that I look at it.

Maybe you had a 17 character password somewhere and you wrote it down as words? Either wallet password, either password for the mining pool?

So you should invest more now, to lower your break even point.

Easy to say, but I won't have funds to invest for at least one more month  Undecided
