Is this thread dead? Thats kind of sad if it is.
I would guess no-one wants to give you bad advice so no replies. Fair enough. |

I'm using the core wallet with the trezor model T and I have a different address showing up on the screen of the trezor to the one I'm supposed to be sending to according to the wallet on screen.
Anyone ever seen this?
Anyone have any idea what the heck might be going on here?
I'm not clicking send because thats literally the point of the trezor.

Why is this a more important metric than market cap? Also I sent you a message over on keybase if you didn't see it. |

Hello grinners. Been playing around a bit with grin lately. Thought I would fire up my old BCT account and check out the thread here. I never buy an altcoin early because of that early inflation. I watched grin for a while for a bottom. Finally just bought hoping I caught the bottom. It's a really cool project. Criminally undervalued at rank #500+. I hope the wider crypto community recognizes. this.  But what ever, I'm willing to gamble a little on the hopes that they will. |

I can't believe companies are falling for this fake news HOAX "currency". It's going to be brutal when this all continues it's multi-year collapse. 2021 is going to be brutal. #bitcoinhasfailed

You could argue that bitcoin in its current form IS a fork but that's okay, it has a pretty good consensus. As long as that consensus doesn't fracture too much we can keep this delusion going. IF we could keep this delusion, the one that says "bitcoin is special because we need it to be special", going that would be wonderful for global commerce and wellbeing, and so far we have been able to do it.
About these forking issues, the majority of bitcoin miners have signalled Segwit in 2017. I dont believe they will leave the consensus they agreed upon, and if they do, I believe they will warn it first. Money is based on consensus, without consensus there is no money. Miner signalling isn’t worth shit because it doesn’t represent economic consensus. The users have the real power. BCH is worth bugger all despite Bitmain support because miners have no power. Also Anon136 needs to learn the difference between a hard and soft fork. HairyMclairy needs to learn that both hard and soft forks are a subset of the only word I used in my post relating to any kind of fork, which was the word fork. Then don’t say that it is “arguable” that Bitcoin is a [soft]fork when it is a fact that Bitcoin has soft forked by consensus at least 18 times, and soft forked by orphaned blocks probably thousands of times. Yea okay. You can have consensus problems over soft or hard forks. Dur. But I'll tell you what, you have fun playing in the weeds and ignoring the point of my post. I'll be moving on now. |

buy now @~8k which is still dirt cheap for BTC
On what planet is $8000 "cheap" for an imaginary, valueless timestamp? Even $1 is expensive for a timestamp. Their shtick is that the timestamps are somehow limited and you must act now to get one! But it's artificial scarcity that can be replicated infinitely by just forking or creating a new coin. You are kind of right but you look at the problem from the wrong angle. The world needs good money. It NEEDS it. Fiat is not it. Fiat is awful in every way. Gold and silver are pretty good in some situations but just plain worthless when it comes to digital commerce. If someone could just invent teleporters then gold and silver would be so great, but alas. So that leaves what? Private issuance currencies and decentralized digital currencies. Private issuance currencies have been demonstrated to be too fragile (I'm looking at you liberty dollar). So now we are left with one. Decentralized digital currency. The problem with those are exactly what you pointed out above. But there are no other options. Its all we have left. So what if we could solve that problem with a collective delusion. A collective delusion not dissimilar to what gives fiat money value. What if we could all just agree that bitcoin is special because we need it to be special. Well anyone can fork bitcoin but those forks tend to have no value. You could argue that bitcoin in its current form IS a fork but that's okay, it has a pretty good consensus. As long as that consensus doesn't fracture too much we can keep this delusion going. IF we could keep this delusion, the one that says "bitcoin is special because we need it to be special", going that would be wonderful for global commerce and wellbeing, and so far we have been able to do it. Keep it up lads, we've done it for 10 years so far, here's to another 10 and maybe another 100 after that. |

I don’t understand how basic stuff like not polluting rivers is the craziest thing you have ever witnessed. And not sure why it would lead to the downfall of the USA. But ok.
It really is a shame that communists cloak themselves in these sorts of good intentions because we all want clean air and rivers, obviously, only a psycho wouldn't. It's such an effective trogen horse for them because it's obviously a good thing and it's very difficult to imagine how to accomplish it without empowering the state. So if empowering the state is your aim it makes a lot of sense to ride in the Trojan horse of environmentalism. It's kind of an all communists are environmentalists but not all environmentalists are communists sort of thing... (of course not literally all, just almost all) |

Have you guys seen this? https://itmattershowyoustand.com/2019/02/chase-bank-shuts-down-proud-boys-leaders-personal-bank-account-blp/Chase Bank Shuts Down Proud Boys Leader’s Personal Bank Account – BLP By Waldo Crane Feb 8, 2019 Enrique Tarrio, who is the Chairman of the Proud Boys fraternal organization, had his personal Chase bank account shut down abruptly earlier this week. In a letter obtained exclusively by Big League Politics, the bank informs him that he must shut down all of his accounts by April 1st, 2019, without giving a reason.  This comes just days after Chase Bank’s payment processor, Chase Paymentech, de-platformed him on a website he runs that allows groups and charities to sell merchandise, and raise money for causes. The website, 1776.shop, is most known for selling the famous “Roger Stone Did Nothing Wrong” shirts which Stone was spotted in during the late-night arrest at his home. Tarrio has been facing months of backlash for his affiliation with the Proud Boys, first getting onto the radar in an article published on The Daily Beast, which asserts that people of color are joining white supremacist organizations. Tarrio is both Cuban, and black, and was profiled in that article. The Proud Boys, despite simply being a fraternal organization that believes in Western culture, have been smeared as a hate group. Gavin McInnes, the group’s founder, is currently suing the SPLC over their hate group label. Since the Daily Beast article, Tarrio has been facing an onslaught of targeting by both tech companies, and financial services. He tells Big League Politics he has been banned from the following services, among others: - Facebook
- Twitter
- Instagram
- Airbnb
- FirstData
- Square
- Stripe
- PayPal
Speaking to Big League Politics, Tarrio questions why so many major companies feel the need to target him. “My political views pretty much mirror those of President Donald Trump,” Tarrio says. “But the media, and groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center, smear me trying to tie me, an Afro-Cuban, to ideologies that would force me out of my own country if they went into effect. It’s completely asinine and based completely outside of reality.” Now that he has lost his bank account, his own life will become much more difficult, as Tarrio explains. “How am I supposed to get food to feed my family? Are taking the directions of the Governor of Virginia and trying to abort me 34 years after birth,” Tarrio questions. “They are essentially denying my existence, and trying to force me into homelessness, and ultimately death.” Tarrio believes that unless President Donald Trump steps in, the de-platforming and dehumanizing of conservatives will continue. “He needs to step in, not only because if he doesn’t he will lose in 2020 with all of his supporters being kicked off social media, but because it’s the right thing to do,” Tarrio finishes. Literally this guy would be facing a death sentence or homelessness at best if it weren't for the existence of bitcoin. And he is just the beginning. Never has there been more need or a stronger case for cryptocurrency and yet the price is falling... It makes zero sense. I mean these are the kids of things that inform my investment decision making. This is how I approach and think about investing. And I'm patient and trust my reasoning and so far it has worked out well enough for me. But in this climate, the price SHOULD NOT be falling. There is an asset out there that people are on the cusp of being forced into adopting whether they like it or not, and the price of that asset is falling. How long can that continue? |

Does anyone even know the current odds for a block on a 1080ti?
At current diff it's ~1:300000 with AR29 and slightly better with AT31. Or ~7 months for a block on average. The diff is not going to stay "current" obviously. I'll give it a week. I have fond memories of CPU mining a Bitcoin block back in the day, and would be nice to think I could solo mine at least 1 block with this stuff, before the difficulty truly goes parabolic. I've never really followed an altcoin launch before, and am absolutely blown away with how much and quickly, the difficulty is increasing for this project. It has really taken off in an amazing way. At first you have catastrophic inflation that no amount of hype can overcome, 100% per day on the second day. Then it settles down at least a little, maybe 10% per day, now the early days hype can overcome it. But hype is transitory, inflation is like the tide. Inflation will break the back of the hype machine and we will see a long price decline for 6 months to a year minimum. Difficulty tracks the price so it should be easy to mine again during that lull. I plan to be mining a lot during that time. |

Meanwhile in the other bro WO thread, Grin goes ballistics and again I watch the train leaving. Just sit tight. You are fine. No amount of hype in the universe can overcome the early inflation of a fairly released crypto. I don't think it ever has happened and I doubt it ever will. After this initial burst there will be a long cold winter. Spring can only come after that. Here are the early days of monero.  |

"trust minimalized"
lol im laughing
i think more people really need to actually research LN. its getting obvious who has actually used it and who is just repeating the propaganda promotion material
I've yet to hear complaints from those who have used it that the experience was like dealing with banks. I've yet to hear complaints from those who have used it that it is a utopian fantasy. I've yet to hear complaints from those who have used it that their consensus was bypassed. I've yet to hear complaints from those who have used it that it is a separate network that supports more than once blockchain. All that repeated propaganda material is coming from you. But as long as we agree on the part where people should try using Lightning before forming their own conclusions, rather than simply take your word or mine for it, then that's okay. However, much like Bitcoin itself, it's only responsible to point out that Lightning is still not at the stage where it is ready for mainstream adoption. It may be best for most users to wait a while before taking the plunge. It's also important for users to learn about the differences between sending transactions via LN compared to the standard way of transacting before getting involved. The security model is different. Lightning is still beta software. Users should experiment with only small amounts of BTC, or other compatible cryptocurrency, until LN is more mature. Honestly, for all it's flaws, it's amazing that someone managed to figure out a way to leverage bitcoins distributed consensus model and create a scaled up product that conserves many if not all of the fundamental aims all while leaving the genuine artifact entirely unmolested. Oh and do it all without bifurcating the currency supply! It's mind boggling. Just...  |
