With that said, no member, especially default trust members, should be allowed to tag the accounts because they were lost in collateral or because they are being sold.  
Seems that someone does not really understand the trust system. Nobody can disallow you from leaving a certain rating.

Allowing members like him to act on their own for the whole community brings down the value of the community.  
There is no evidence to back up these ludicrous claims.

Here is an idea, prohibit signature campaigns!!  That is the easiest fix.  
Prohibit account sales and account collateral, even simpler.

So I call any high staff member, default trust member or above to give me a legit reason on here why another member can tag an account that is being sold or an account that is being used for collateral, when there are no rules or regulations against it??
Because that's how the system works, i.e. there are no rules. There are actions that are frowned upon, and this account happened to do one of them. FYI trust is not moderated, so calling in 'high staff member' is a waste of bytes.

Ah!  Thank you.  I see it now, we're tabulating the results as if the race is over before it's over and eliminating other candidates until one has a majority.
Correct. Achow even created a script that automatically does tabulation now.

I guess since the voting has tapered off, this is okay but does this lead would-be voters down the proverbial garden path?
Indeed, but that is directly caused by votes being public. Anyone can keep track of the votes and calculate the current preferred candidates (e.g. like Foxpup did).

Is the spreadsheet no longer being updated?

 I see 34 votes for Lauda and 33 votes for Mitchell but the post above shows quite a different outcome.
You're looking at the wrong sheet. The one above are votes after-elimination. This is the sheet that you should be looking at:

The miners better start to fix this problem. They are the ones with expensive equipment that will be worthless if the bitcoin price drops due to this issue
There is no fix and the miners can not do anything. They are not in control of the network.

...ithink its tiime btc went to a 10mb block size, HD space is what 20 x or more than 2009 for the same price
Wrong. Please educate yourself before spreading such nonsense. First of all, that "20x or more" is an arbitrary number unless a source is provided. Secondly, there are plenty of factors that need to be included (not just storage space).
1) Computational power (validation time).
2) Bandwidth.
3) Storage.
4) Orphan rates, et. al.

In addition to that, with sighash operations currently having having exponential time, there is a DOS attack vector present even at 2 MB blocks.

You are the one with the outlandish claim. Proving it is on you.
That is a fallacy. As expected by the BU folk.

Exactly. Now do you see how ludicrous your suggestion seems to someone who supports scaling via emergent consensus of maxblocksize?
That is inherently dangerous; why someone wants to believe otherwise is beyond reason.

No. "Mainstream people should not be trying to decide technical limits though" is not a statement of fact. It is dogma.
Fact.

Except we are not speaking of random people. We are speaking of emergent consensus of the very people who have something at stake.
Random or not random it is likely that those people have no idea about the system capabilities and that turned out to be true.

and show a stupid average over a stupid 24 hours.
wow. the other day it hit 24%, then down to 14%, then upto 25% then down to 16% then upto 19%........ LOL

how about use actual count of 2016 blocks and get a number that actually applies to the rule.
Are you not aware that it has not even been 2016 blocks since Segwit signalling started? Weird.

malleability does nothing for LN.
False.

Stop creating unnecessarily large posts that have nothing to do with what is being discused. I do not think that any sane person bothers with reading them anymore.

Oh, it will have an end all right. If Lauda gets his way it will be an end of Bitcoin as currency and hello bitcoin as SWIFT MKII.
Standard fallacy by misguided and/or delusional people.

The problem is far more complex that what you tend to show. There are currently two (primary) implemented proposals for on chain scaling:
1) Segwit via soft fork (Core).
2) Block size increase via hard fork (maximum 16 MB) (BU).

Okay, so the BU crowd wants to scale via a hard fork. But why this specific proposal? There are other, much more reasonable ones (e.g. the one with 17% yearly growth) that could work. I am in support of a hard fork post-Segwit, but I'm surely not going to support random node operators voting on these limits up to an absurdly large limit (16x higher than what is currently available).

Yes bitcoin must come with slogan:
ONLY FOR PROS.NOT FOR INCOMPETENT OR NEW USERS.
The same applies for any financial system. Try doing a bank transfer without including the necessary fee and see what happens. In other words, you can't.
9792  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: wow ,almost 30,000 unconfirmed trans on: November 24, 2016, 09:14:33 AM
That means that transactions which paid at least BTC0.0002 in fee are getting confirmed without much delay (provided that their size is more or less equal to the median transaction size). The delay is mostly happening to those who paid a lower tx fee.
Wrong. 0.0002 BTC is equal to 20000 satoshis. For a transaction of the media size (226 bytes) that is still under the recommended, as it is 88.49 bytes/satoshis. That said, due to the incompetence of most users they are likely creating unnecessarily large transactions which require even bigger fees than that. A fixed fee does not guarantee anything. Including a fee of 0.0004 may be inadequate. It has to be measured in satoshis/byte.

"Account Activity Farming" ?? now what is this? something different than account farming? another self made reason and accusation of lauda to blacklist peoples?

I never heard about that before honestly.
Nonsense. Do not appeal to the extremes. I can technically ban you and put you on my blacklist for any particular reason (not that I would do this). Anyone who is on that blacklist is there for a very good reason.

Network is congested as usual, althought it's much worse this time, if you need to transact regularly you should use some other coin.
Stop trolling. You can transact regularly without any problems on the Bitcoin network if you know what you're doing.
9795  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: why my transaction not confirmed some days? on: November 24, 2016, 09:00:06 AM
I use blockchaininfo.
Stop using such a bad wallet. Use something like Electrum if you want a lightweight client.

TX fee: 0.0002057, TX size: 371 bytes. If we divide these numbers we come down to 55.44 satohis/byte. The current recommended is 100 satohis/byte.
9796  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: why my transaction not confirmed some days? on: November 24, 2016, 08:37:15 AM
Your included fee is inadequate and the output is quite small as well. You can't lose Bitcoin this way. Worst case: It does not confirm and the network drops it in a few days. What wallet are you using?
9797  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: wow ,almost 30,000 unconfirmed trans on: November 24, 2016, 07:51:48 AM
Could it be that fees are too low for some of these and they are taking a long time. It could be that it just happens to be happening all at one time by coincidence or that miners are refusing to confirm them collectively.

Yeah, it could be. But probably is not. How close to maximum theoretical capacity do you think is realistic?

I call it a bitcoin fail, it just simply cannot scale to the current usage. Thanks.
*Current usage*? Not really. The combination used in the attack is actually quite smart:
1) Use a good amount of quantity and slowly increase over the course of 2 days.
2) Use unusually large transactions with a lot of input scripts. These transactions tend to be larger e.g. 1kb. The effect that this does is that miners tend to mine more blocks with less transactions (1k or lower). As a result the ever growing backlog becomes much worse than it is.

You can see some dormant addresses that suddenly created over 1 thousand (multisignature transactions) over the course of 2 days each.

9798  Other / Meta / Re: Why do the mods need to know my email when I report a post? on: November 24, 2016, 07:35:06 AM
Bitcointalk may decide to fight a subpoena that they believe is illegal in some way, perhaps a subpoena that requests every users email address or something similar, and rather than deal with that, the government agency could bypass that altogether by subpoena'ing some email provider who will comply immediately.
The second part is an assumption in addition to a generalization which may or may not be true. Anyhow, it seems that you've done your fair amount of research regarding the change required to stop this from happening. Let's see whether theymos wants to remove it sometime soon.

In order to change this in smf 1.19 all that is needed is to edit the file Sources\SendTopic.php and change the following :

Hey Lauda, I'm temporarily leaving the campaign. I don't think that I am able to keep up 50 posts a week to make any decent amount. I might come back in the future when I have more spare time.
I have already noticed this. Bitmixer is not likely going to change their rates or the setup anytime soon. That is fine, good luck with the campaign and your future *leave*.
