And that cockr0ach guy talking nonsense obviously on purpose, like ETH dump at the end of DAO, as if some guy will have access to those funds... Go figure..

The bitcoin codebase is very much fungible. That is one of its primary strengths. Hard/soft forks are part of the process of its becoming "perfect" money.

edit: fungible is probably not the best word to describe the codebase. More like it can incorporate changes to suit the need of the people using it.

You can't hardfork cryptonote anonymity in bitcoin.

Has dropped only in comparison to BTC.

Nice article about Supernet:
http://bitcoinmagazine.com/18167/what-is-the-supernet-jl777s-vision/

Many references of BC and BlackHalo in it.

Just wait 24 more hours.

There is no problem with the pool. It seems you're doing something wrong. Your .conf file has nothing to do with mining in a pool. It is relevant only for solo mining (not applicable to BC). Go to account settings in the pool and there you type the wallet address(yours) that payouts will go. I suggest you find a good tutorial and try again.

Everyone will have faith in a truly decentralized blockchain. eGold was nothing like that. It wasn't new technology. The blockchain is and every new technology stays forever and advances.

Hi everybody, this my first post, however, I've been in and out of black since May. Some trades were good, some should have been avoided. I'm long term bullish in here and I consider BC the only asymmetric-risk investment in cryptos apart from BTC. It has shown reasonably stable behaviour during the uninteresting summer months(relative to other coins), giving many opportunities to improve positions.

Lately, I have seen the trend change and many will associate this with the upcoming NightTrader release by dzimbeck or increased trading at BTC38. However, I have one more reason to be bullish mid-term. Reading many bitcoin speculation threads lately, I have come to the conclusion that many bitcoin holders and potential buyers are becoming worried of the increased centralization of mining and the increased ability of large mining farms to dump coins and some of them start  considering alternatives, like POS blockchains. Specifically, secure and proven POS, that means BC.

Is it reasonable to believe that BC adoption will increase rapidly in the future because of the above?

Mayas traded like that, and you now the outcome  Roll Eyes

I believe he means that mining has become a job of a few entities (mining farms). Not exactly Satoshi's idea about decentralized peer-to-peer systems.

I have to agree with you in this. Any coin can succeed, but the more useful it is or the most trust its blockchain applications require, the more valuable it will be. It doesn't have to be bitcoin the one that will succeed (if it is one..).

@NotLambchop

But, your opinion seems to be that the protocol/technology is valuable, therefore the coins should also be. When more applications are developed for the blockchain and adoption increases, the more valuable the protocol becomes, the more expensive the coins become.

You can't compare the internet to Bitcoin. Sure, many people didn't know the use of it 20 years ago. But it was a completely new thing. Bitcoin is money.

Bitcoin is not money just like the internet is not a digital version of USPS... Bitcoin is a protocol/technology. One of its applications is digital cash.

Bitcoin the "protocol/technology" in your analogy would be tcp/ip.  To my knowledge, no one made a fortune buying "shares of internet." 

Bitcoin the "protocol/technology" can't work without itself being a currency (something with value).
Without value attached to its blocks, what is the incentive for miners? Only big miners? Then what's the trust in the protocol?

Decentralization requires the blocks to carry their own value for the miner.

Blackcoin! The only truly innovative POS coin. It is much more than a coin. It can be used any way you like with BlackHalo.
