That's just speculation at this point. Please stop spreading false information. Let's wait for some actual information from Coinbase; a lot of exchanges are having trouble keeping up with this demand.

Reposting again (as predicted earlier):


Volume is through the roof. Coinmarketcap shows almost $450 Million.

You are a vile piece of crap aren't you?
Your life must be really worthless to make you feel so proud and such a big man to disgrace people on a forum. Yes I said man cause you certainly sound like a dyke to me. Cheesy
No, I'm just honest. Don't blame me if someone can't take the truth; in a way that sentence was advice to improve their posting quality.

You could lock this thread later since Lauda already answered your question.
In case that OP doesn't know how, there's a button in the lower left corner while inside of this thread:

9283  Other / Meta / Re: Multiple Accounts? on: January 05, 2017, 12:10:00 PM
Is it okay to create multiple accounts here on bitcointalk? Any official word on that by the board or mods?
Was reading the forum rules so hard? Here it is:

18. Having multiple accounts and account sales are allowed, but account sales are discouraged.
While being allowed by the forum itself, it is frowned upon by a good part of the community.

And can we actually use those multiple accounts to work on different signature campaigns? I mean two accounts for two different signature campaigns(if it is not against the campaign's policy of course)?
Your posting quality is already horrible. I advise you not to do this.
9284  Other / Meta / Re: why to make multiple accounts ?? on: January 05, 2017, 12:00:03 PM
The mods can track the accounts and blacklist them so that they can't join some signature campaigns.
No. Moderators can not see / look for alt accounts via any specific forum tools. The admins are the only ones with access to those.

That is why mods should be the ones managing signature campaigns that don't want multiple alt accounts joining them.
You just need someone who is going to be very strict, i.e. with a strong evaluation and review policy.
9285  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How many TPS would be needed for Planet Earth? on: January 05, 2017, 11:57:49 AM
After reading this.

People need to stop having babies damn ! Most of it is from middle Africa outwards. On the outskirts (north & south Africa) are the least birthrates. What you raise here is interesting. Goes to show how much computing power is behind all those transactions.
No. That's just your uneducated opinion. High birth rate in certain areas does not need to stop, that's just the natural cycle. Demographic transition has 5 steps, i.e. most countries are already in the 4th/5th step while the relatively undeveloped ones are still in the earlier stages. This is what it is in a nutshell:



Where there currently is a high birth rate, there usually is a high death rate that follows. Eventually these balance themselves out, not that this matters for Bitcoin.

now for those that just want a number.. to the OP's question
population= 7bill
tx per month=42(based on real fiat use stats per month as a bases for comparison)
I'd like to see the source for this number as I have not seen it somewhere else. I'll assume that your calculation serves the purpose of an average number of TPS needed.

most will think 29gb(3.5gb) blocks is crazy. but be realistic. no one in reality will see 7billion people jump into bitcoin tomorrow.
Indeed. This thread, and those alike are actually very often just pointless at this time.

What's the purpose of this thread and why would it be any better than just reporting the thread in question via PM or the report function?
9287  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: January 05, 2017, 09:25:53 AM
Holy fuck what happened at finex just now?


Dump? Shorting? Time to run?

9288  Other / Meta / Re: What's your "Report to Moderator" % rate at? on: January 05, 2017, 09:15:46 AM
I've only reported 34 posts with 70% accuracy. Maybe I'll take another look at the rules in order to work out what's best to look out for.
You may be reporting some complex issues wrongly (e.g. trolling). If you want the easiest to increase that number, then reporting backlink spam, referral spam or old bumps it the way to go.

-snip-
 Sounds like it's already on!
Where can we place our bets?  Cool
Feel free to open a thread in games and rounds and PM me a link.
That would be an interesting sight to see. There's a long way till 20k though.

If it is self moderated, you will see the following under the title:

9291  Economy / Speculation / Re: What would you consider a new ATH? on: January 05, 2017, 01:03:57 AM
The Mt.Gox ATH was likely caused solely by that Willy bot that was absurdly pumping the price. The exchange was likely insolvent long before the ATH even occured. I don't see why anyone would use that as the ATH.

The Bitstamp ATH should be the one that everyone uses for the USD ATH, BTCC for CNY ATH.
9292  Other / Archival / Re: Updated Overview of Bitcointalk Signature-Ad Campaigns on: January 05, 2017, 12:41:03 AM
To be honest, I don't know how this campaign has become full in just a matter of less than 2 hours. I'd say the manager isn't as picky as other managers. It'd be really efficient for both ends (the manager and the users) if they would accept your offer to do escrow. People are doubtful of new ICOs because of the previous campaigns that scammed people especially this campaign is running for 2 weeks before they can confirm payment. 2 weeks of free advertising is more than enough for scammers.
They have probably spent zero (or extremely little amount of) effort in evaluating the candidates. This is the next campaign that is indirectly facilitating spam on this forum.

What do people think about adding a SMAS column as well, i.e. whether the campaign uses the blacklist? The BTCT account price estimator already uses it as well. I'm certain that there are some *cons* to this idea and that spammers / farmers will hate the thought of it, but I figured I'd just throw it out there.
9293  Economy / Reputation / Re: [User Generated] - Known alts of anyone on: January 05, 2017, 12:18:59 AM
I've done some updates; more will come tomorrow.

@Timelord I'm not entirely convinced that QS is master-p (I still need to go through it one more time). However, there may have been a time where two (or more) people were acting as a group behind some of these accounts. You never know.

P.S. Please double check whether a connection has already made before doing your investigation / posting.
9294  Other / Meta / Re: [SMAS] Signature Managers against Spam (light version) on: January 05, 2017, 12:14:53 AM
Yahoo just copies whatever people you add on your list.
If he trusts my judgement, then he may do that. If he wants to double check or doesn't trust my judgement then he will review the users in question. Either way, there was at least 1 manager that had a problem with you 1 point in time.

Cool, even then, I never spewed garbage while participating in a signature campaign.
Take a look at the post above this one.

This shows nothing. There is no indication as to which campaigns use SMAS. That might actually be an useful (additional) column.

When was my bitmixer ban? I would like a review.
You were banned in Round 4, which was in early November. Regarding that review: PM me. Keep in mind that there are several people in queue before you. I plan to finish all of these within the week.

-snip-
That's a nice evaluation right there. Thank you.
9295  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How many TPS would be needed for Planet Earth? on: January 04, 2017, 08:20:53 PM
Well, the VISA network currently runs at about 2000tps. I'd imagine the tps for the whole world would be somewhere around roughly 10x that of VISA. If we were to achieve that all with on-chain scaling we'd have to have +3GB blocks!  Grin
That's a vague estimate for the number of people that are currently have access to a bank + are using Visa in comparison to the number of people that are 'banked' and not using Visa + number of users that are unbanked (variable reports; here's one saying the number is 2 Billion). That 2000 TPS is the average that Visa does, not the peak  nor maximum that it is able to do. 20 000 TPS would not be enough for the whole world, especially not during the holidays.
Let's run some numbers here:
Currently, with a block size maximum of 1 MB, we have 7 TPS in theory and 3 TPS in real world usage. If we extrapolate that to 20k TPS with real world usage patterns, that represents an increase by a factor of ~6667. In order to facilitate this kind of TPS, on-chain, we would need 6.67 GB blocks.

You can easily see why this isn't feasible, especially not anytime soon. I'd also like to point out that the estimates may be very wrong with the lack of an adequate method for a good estimation.
9296  Other / Meta / Re: [SMAS] Signature Managers against Spam (light version) on: January 04, 2017, 05:17:17 PM
Wrong, my posts are good enough, never had a single complain by 0 managers and I have been in endless campaing, but now im blindly rejected on campaings that use the list because of the mere reason of me being on the list.
You're blacklisted by 2 managers, yet you claim that no manager ever complained about you? Roll Eyes

What im saying is that you should not be forced to post in a certain way just because you are wearing a signature campaing.
Tl;dr: I should be allowed to spew out garbage while I'm participating in a signature campaign. How about no?

All campaings that pay decently use SMAS except betcoin.ag which actually take the time to select members for themselves.
I was not aware of this, source?

Inactivity might be construed as account farming, especially if care is taken to ensure that potential activity points aren't lost. Even if it were not so, campaign managers may be reluctant to block a slot for a person who might not make sufficient posts.
Correct. That is also likely going to get you banned depending on your posting quality. This is why we give people a chance for review, 1 month after your ban. (@oblivi).

You are going to raise standards so high that you'll end up banning like 99% of people from campaigns.
~18% of the total users (normal list + special list + banned list) are currently enrolled in Bitmixer. I've actually had a small *spike* of very constructive users lately, thus your argument is invalid.
9297  Other / Meta / Re: [SMAS] Signature Managers against Spam (light version) on: January 04, 2017, 05:02:06 PM
My account got added on that list for no reason, since my posts are good enough.
People don't get added for 'no reason', and your own assessment (which is obviously cognitively biased) of yourself is pointless.

Honestly this forum is becoming a chore to use. You can't no longer have fun. You are always paranoid about how your account will be trashed because you posted a reply that was too short, or you posted a couple of messages in a row... ridiculous. Let's just hope there are still sig managers willing to select members for themselves instead of blindly trusting a list made by other people.
If you are here to genuinely just have fun, or contribute in one way or another, you wouldn't care whether you could get into some signature campaign or not. You can do whatever you want (as long as you follow the forum rules) without being a signature campaign participant.

Now it's pretty much useless since most sig campaings are using the stupid centralized lists instead of taking the time to look for good members for themselves.
What campaigns are you talking about? Most of the campaigns that use the SMAS list are run by the members of SMAS anyways.
9298  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Are jr members ever offered Signature campaigns ? on: January 04, 2017, 04:19:45 PM
I made 50+ posts over the last one week and you choose to pick those two particular posts to defend your claim and go to the extent of talking about a ban ? I'm disappointed. Those two posts would make a lot of sense if you've read them in the context rather than picking them out of context. Not every post has to be purposeful and full of quality.
I'm not going to analyze your whole post history. I'm not exactly sure why you are 'disappointed' with criticism. If you choose to ignore it, then you are more likely to run into trouble down the road later. You should also read this in case that you haven't done that already: Signature Campaign Guidelines.

This is a "forum" and you "discuss" on a forum.
FYI you can "discuss" without participating in a signature campaign. At least in that case you aren't financially incentivized to spew out low quality posts.

I read and I write where it's necessary. I guess it's up to the signature campaigners to decide if I'm spamming. It's ok if they choose to exclude me. I'm here to share bitcoin experiences and knowledge. Signature campaign is only an add on, not the main purpose of this forum.
Take this as friendly advice. As a campaign manager: Had you joined Bitmixer, I would have most likely already banned you.

Anyhow, if this is resolved you should lock your thread. You can find the option to do so in the lower left corner of the screen:

9299  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Are jr members ever offered Signature campaigns ? on: January 04, 2017, 04:09:01 PM
Horrible post quality ? care to explain ?
Most of your posts are one liners with faulty English. Only a few of these could be actually considered *worth* reading. 2 examples:

The guy is on an amazing run. witnessed it myself.
so, Arsenal fucked everyone today ? hard luck guys! bet on Chelsea and win tomorrow.
The time between some of your posts also shows that you don't tend to put much thought nor effort behind them.

I highly recommend spending more time reading than replying, in addition to putting a lot more effort into every single post before you continue to participate in signature campaigns.
9300  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Are jr members ever offered Signature campaigns ? on: January 04, 2017, 03:54:34 PM
I'm not even sure why you bother attempting to join signature campaigns with that horrible posting quality. It's pretty obvious that you're either a blatant spammer or part of some account farming / alt ring.

You're likely not only going to get banned from the campaign but also from the forum.
