[Antminer L3+]

Hey guys,

Don't know if these kind of posts are still kosher around here, but I have used (100% working) Bitmain Antminer L3+ I would like to sell for Litecoin or DigiByte. Will ship continental US. Price will be based on the current CoinMarketCap price of each before-mentioned crypto (as of this post now around 1.9 LTC or 6999 DGB including shipping). It has also been listed on eBay here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Bitmain-Antminer-L3-504M-scrypt-miner-for-Litecoin-Digibyte-Dogecoin-etc/303881193644

Let me know if anyone is interested - first paid, first served kind of a thing.

Thanks

Am I being paranoid or Roger Ver and Craig Wright dumping BTC to support their projects? BCH (ABC) and BCH (SV) are up on rather impressive volumes lately.

...and it's starting to irritate me.

I agree, this can be irritating... Shout out to one of our own: "RawDog". Love this dude!

First block mined...

Quote from another post which actually made me come the f..k down a bit, think, and have a sympathy for the opposite side of this whole block size debate. I honestly thought this particular bitcoiner was just a rigid ideologue, but I was wrong - this scaling issue is as real to him and  thousands of other bitcoiners as it gets. Instead of fighting our personal believes / ideology / philosophy may be we should start with that.

I'm a relatively small Bitcoin investor but I also actually pay my employees in Bitcoin.  It saves me thousands of dollars a year vs Paypal.  The recent network congestion was a firsthand exposure of the dangers of failing utility as transactions started getting stuck and fees became dangerously uncompetitive.

Personally, I have always viewed Bitcoin as a precious commodity and a store of value first. As any other working stiff who has to wake up early in the morning, go to work, come back after dark completely exhausted, I wanted to find a monetary system where my sweat, my time and my energy were exchanged for honest form of money... Form of money which does not get diluted, does not split in two or three, and does not loose it's value over time. Outside more traditional precious metals Bitcoin was an obvious choice for me (despite being a risky one). That's why I wanted to see at least 90% consensus (not 51, 60 or 75) before any Bitcoin hard fork could be seriously considered. That said I do not have any valid arguments against larger blocks, faster transaction confirmations and lower fees, if solution is graceful, does not destroy Bitcoin brand, rarity and trust of over half of it's users.

Can anybody explain to me how close we are to "inevitable" hard fork? I see core nodes still dominate at over 82% with BU below 12% after all this contention and arguing. Are we exaggerating the problem or am I missing something?

It looks like even CNBC is getting alarmed: http://www.cnbc.com/2017/03/20/op-ed-the-feds-stealthy-qe-267-billion-of-fresh-liquidity-injected-since-mid-january.html

Bitcoin was not an accident!

[Warning:]

Even though I'm somewhat repulsed by cavalier attitude towards forking the most stable and conservative cryptocurrency system, I can't dismiss Roger Ver logic and rational thinking.

May I suggest to those of you who want to buy a cup of coffee with bitcoin to purchase damn coffee shop instead... This way you can enjoy your own coffee all day long, and stop chasing fantasies of making this world more fair and better place to live. Buying a few pizzas with Bitcoin proven to be very expensive proposition back in 2010, and it looks like we just refusing to let this idea go.

Bitcoin is prohibitive for a reason: it's valuable (according to free and heavily manipulated markets), it rides vast and expensive to maintain blockchain (Go BitFury and Bitmain!), it has high fees not only to prevent spam, but to reward miners in exchange for diminishing block rewards moving forward (Greedy Bastards!). Looks perfect to me, but then again - I'm an idiot so do not take this personally.

[Both sites are low traffic]

Don't know if this is a right venue for this post so my apology in advance if it's not.

I'm looking for sponsors for my Bitcoin Classifieds www.hashswap.com and Historical Bitcoin data www.btcregistry.com
Both sites are low traffic (under 1000 unique visitors per month). Both sites have two large banners available for a sponsor (can accommodate different custom size banners as well). Would prefer ecosystem related advertisers.

I understand each site commercial value is pretty low so I do not expect much in terms of offers. If you are interested to make an offer let me know how many banners you want on each site and timespan you would like to reserve. Naturally I will be leaning towards more banners / longest timespan and higher offers. Snapshots of both sites here: http://imgur.com/a/w9pcY

Thank you in advance for your consideration.

“Valve reached out to us because they were looking for a fast, international payment method for Steam users in emerging gaming markets in countries like India, China, and Brazil,” Rory Desmond, Bitpay’s director of business development for North America and APAC, wrote in a blog post. “While more users are coming online in in these countries, traditional payment options like credit cards often aren’t available.”

Supposedly you can connect your Coinbase account and start earning interest (currently 3.6%) on your stagnant bitcoins... I'm scared like hell to even attempt it. If anybody uses them already post your experience please.

Did you know?


At the moment one bitcoin worth close to 250 the most trusted and stable reserve currency units in the world (USD). *
It's 41 times more valuable than Seborga luigino - artificially pegged worlds highest valued currency.
Currently, one bitcoin can absorb complete index of over 160 world's currencies (including IMF conversion notes), and do this four times.

It's done so without any support of a single private financial institution, sovereign central bank, government mint or treasury... It's done so during massive fraud and abuse, rampant hacking and scam, and dismissive (at best) media coverage. If this is not a testament to longevity and bright future of the currency backed purely by trust of it's users, I do not know what will convince you.
