Pawn to e5 please, it directly threatens the knight.
Thank you.
After you play e5 black will probably play Nd5 (which is a good square) attacking our bishop on f4. If we trade knights with Nxd5 then he can play Bxd5 and our pawn on d3 will become a long term weakness. Black also may be able to attack us along the a8 to h1 diagonal (with both bishop and queen) and his c8 knight will eventually get to b4 or d4. Quoted in full for relevance... Pawn to e5 please, it directly threatens the knight.
The Bishop isn't going to make a move on the other knight at b8 (perish the thought)
Either that of pawn to d4 if you're suddenly concerned the white bishop will move across to the knight at f3
Thank you.
I recon he'd move his Horsey to h5 and then that would enable him to move his bishop to h4, so your Horse play wouldn't happen. |

Hi, long time no post I know...
I've just been reading up about BitCoin's XT or some such name being different to BitCoin Core while both are being used for transactions.
I've also read another dev has ported 42's wallet and forked it so they have a common point of origin, but am I interpreting correctly that (in this example) if a third person were to create a rival wallet to the current 42 wallet, then that wallet (if it gained 50.01 % of the wallets on the network) would become the default wallet?
If so, how is that determined? Is there code in the wallet which makes an assertion that is broadcast? Or is it, "well duh, there's 50.01 % on the network using it, therefore it must be the default wallet..."?
Thanks for reading,
good question ... anyone know? ... #crysx What determines if you are using the "proper chain" is that the receiver of payment accepts your coin. That's all there is to it. If you can pay with the coin, then that makes it valid coin. The question is thus put on the seller: what coin shall we accept? Probably the seller wants to accept coin that will continue to be valuable, that they can then use to purchase other goods and services. It's determined by markets.. by economics if you will. See e.g. http://economicmajority.xyz/ for further discussion. In other news, the owner of the github repo "fourtytwo42" has made an interesting commit: https://github.com/fourtytwo42/42/commit/10247d029446163dfe3fa896b0747d5e21d8037c !!! I fired up the wallet and don't see any blocks mined on this chain which is limited to 42 coins, in two months. Somebody throw some scrypt hash on this please!! For the lulz!! Or just for the 42 BTC millies I offered for any amount of 42coin fees mined in block 990382. I'm not sure you understood the question and you seem to have gone off on a tangent... Thanks anyway people. |

 It's late because I fell asleep. Sue me I saw a lot of discussion leaning towards b3 but you have it behind, can you tell me who voted for which in the above graph please? |

I can't really add anything to what people here have already said, except to say in the old days you'd have one or two negative trust hits against your good name for simply suggesting a reversible payment method.
Good luck with your venture.
"The old days" aren't really that far back. I would not be surprised if the OP was tagged with some negative trust by Vod or some other DT member; I think some members still do. Nope, just checked, just a password recently reset no negative trust tags at all... The standard " Buyer Beware" and " avoid reversible payment methods" mantra still applies. |

I'm lost, when did Cryptsy remove Sex Coin from their list? |

If your idea is to eventually play d4 (or dxc4 after c4) opening the queen and then e5 hoping the f6 knight will move so you can play Qxh7 check, it wont work. If it does work it will prove we are not really playing a GM.
I don't think that such kind an attack is a bad idea. Look at beautiful king's gambit in Morozevich-Anand http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1018654, for example, both of them are GMs.) Now there is only 1 black figure at the king side. So if we could manage to place or direct 3-4 our figures to that side and could not afraid to spend 1-2 figures for the pawns during an attack, it could be nice game.) That's why I like h3, when we will open b1-h7 with e5, we will simultaniously force black knight to move out of the kingside.) But I'm afraid it will be difficult to force community to try the attack with sacrifices and without clear perspective. How true that is. |

How about f4e3? Pin that pawn. I like that better.
Fit's in with my plans, I change my vote for this round to f4e3. I was going to use the Queen to take that pawn, but the Bishop is good too. Use your queen to take what pawn? We are discussing the pawn on c5 that would be pinned by the bishop after Be3. Have you decided to give up your Nxb5 sacrifice idea now in favor of sacrificing your Queen or Bishop for a pawn on c5? What are you trying to accomplish? It seems like you want to give away our pieces on purpose This is me shrugging my shoulders... ...and reminding you I changed my vote... f4e3 please. |

This is also another reason the Scammer's and Spamers are beating a path to your door. Sometimes it doesn't pay to advertise. |

I DONT HAVE SKYPE stop spamming my inbox asking for it. SUGGESTION: Edit your first post to say you don't have Skype. (ps, I knew what you were meaning - Scammer's and Spamers hide behind different names, but they all want to eyeball you so they can see the "real" person they are trying to scam which is why they are desperate to Skype you). |

Thank you Sir, may I have another one.
You may. Actually, your argument is based on bullying, not logic of the game.
No, my insults are based on bullying. My arguments are based on the logic of the game, specifically the logic that a knight is worth more than a pawn (especially at this stage of the game), and a rook and knight combined are worth far more than a bishop. Do you really not see that? Irregardless, nobody else thinks your plan is sensible, and the majority vote is all that matters. We have five votes for h3 (Taras, scruffy scruffington, ErisDiscordia, boolberry, and myself), four votes for b3 (languagehasmeaning, dre1982, actmyname, and XMRpromotions), one vote for Nd2 (gotmilk_), one vote for e5 (abacus), one vote for Ng5 (jjacob), and one vote for Nxb5 (Timelord2067). By your own counting, the four single votes are tied in second place so not a very clear majority... ...and there seems to be a flurry of late b3 votes voting you down.  |

I can confirm that Nxb5 will lose the knight for one pawn (along with the game).
No, no, no. You're not "thinking ahead". 16. Nxb5 axb5 is a cunning sacrifice to allow 17. a6 Bxa6 18. Rxa6 Qxa6. Losing the rook and knight for a bishop is a good idea because it "leaves the queen exposed on her own".  Timelord2067 is either a troll or doesn't know actually how to play chess. Thank you Sir, may I have another one. Actually, your argument is based on bullying, not logic of the game. Knight takes pawn on b5 thank you.

Next move is pawn to a6 threatening both the Bishop and the Queen.
The bishop will just take the pawn. The rook can't recapture because then the queen will take it. ...and don't be so condescending.
No can do. This is the second time in the row you've voted for a move that loses material on the spot (third if you count a6). Oh dear, you're counting backwards... anyways, on to answer you... Three pieces take three pieces, leaving the Queen exposed on her own with the nearest black pieces on the c column. Knight takes pawn on b5 thank you.
Then pawn takes knight on b5. Please try to think at least one move ahead. I was; you just couldn't see the three moves ahead. |

Do try to keep up.
...and don't be so condescending.
Seriously? One whole square?
Follow your own advice, please. b3 is fine for a move - it prevents c4 from being played. I'm not quite sure why you would want to play b5 as it just loses the pawn and forces you to give up your knight It opens up the left hand side especially for the Rooks to come out and exposes his Queen and Bishop on that side. |

The Bishop through take and the Queen by the Rook Do try to keep up. ...and don't be so condescending. and if he doesn't take the Knight, he's got to move his Queen most likely to a8 in which case the Knight returns to his former position. |
