My mempool is typically under 1MB and contains less than 1k transactions. Yes, including during the past few days. In fact, I just checked it again and it's right around half those numbers I just mentioned. My node has damn near 100% uptime and plenty of connections.
Why?
Because my node doesn't forward spam transactions (very low and no fee transactions)!
Bitcoin provides a means for censorship-proof value transfer. If you think the best use case for that is buying some coffee or gambling with a few satoshis, and you aren't willing to pay a decent fee, you can wait a few fucking blocks for your first confirmation, you cheap ass!
If you think requiring every full node to hold exponentially increasing spam transactions forever (increase block size to gain more tps) is a good idea, then you obviously care nothing for decentralization or censorship-proof transactions in the first place.
Bitcoin doesn't need fixed. People need to pick the best tool for the job.
All transactions do not need to be censorship-proof in a world where censorship-proof transactions exist. The possibility of censorship-proof transactions by itself will cut down on censorship because it will be seen as futile.

Future proof and feature rich ETH
Show us a few of your ETH transactions and describe in detail which features they take advantage of and why those features are desirable. |

Since there are sites like this. I thought that the blick halving was unknown but twow sites appear to show the same date and time for the halving which was supposed to be an estimation. Are these the correct times or just an estimation. Also, I put this here but am unsure whether it should be in general bitcoin discussion or mining speculation (please advise). The rate at which blocks are found varies according to how much hashing power is thrown at the network. More hashing power means faster blocks while less hashing power means slower blocks. Every 2016 blocks the network adjusts the difficulty in an attempt to achieve 10 minute blocks on average. Those times are estimations, but as we get closer to the actual halving block, those estimations should get better. I would probably move the thread to Beginners and Help, but it certainly doesn't belong in Dev and Tech Discussion. |

Have you guys seen The Revenant? There was a bear scene there. If you are hunting Big Foot, bring a large knife, because your gun will run out of bullets.
The rifle used in The Revenant was a one shot black powder muzzleloader. You understand that technology has changed a bit since those were the "latest and greatest", right?  |

This is actually very easy. Let's say you need to keep $50K denominated in dollars - but don't want the exposure of the exchange failure risk, just buy Tether. Tether is USD 1:1 and never changes. Trades with BTC in an instant. So, sell some trading pair to get USD, then convert those to Tether. Let them sit around until you think BTC, or LTC price is low against the dollar and convert the Tether (tUSD) back into BTC. Full solution.
Tether is 100% on the bitcoin blockchain - it isn't some wonky bullshit chain. Tether is always 1:1. Very cool. It is like USD is already a cryptocurrency.
Who guarantees that there will always be a counterparty to trade you 1 USD for every 1 Tether that you have? It sounds to me like you are just swapping trust from an exchange to the entity guaranteeing Tether's exchange rate. |

I think if you ask a hunter they will say yes to sport a prize like the trash they are. Hunting for sport and hunting for food are two different things and it's unfair to lump every hunter in the same category. That's like saying everyone who uses Bitcoin is a drug dealing pedophile. |

And a sizeable majority wants government to help them get control back by regulating what online companies are doing with their data.
This pretty much sums up everything that is wrong with the world today. |

How did you determine that Armory under etotheipi was "trusted"?
Either you read the code or you trusted the community to read the code for you or you trusted etotheipi.
You have the same options with Armory under goatpig.

with increasing number of financial institutions showing an interest in the underlying technology of Bitcoin rather than the coin itself, could it be possible Bitcoin becomes irrelevant in the future, most people are confident dealings with banks and if they offer similar technology why the need of Bitcoin.
One of Bitcoin's main advantages is that it allows me to transfer value without the help of a middleman or the permission of an authority. Once I have this freedom, why would I want to give it up? Sure the average debt slave might not see the advantages of monetary freedom, but I certainly do. |

If you aren't the sole controller of your private keys, you don't have any bitcoins.

My capture is CST, while Google cache is most likely GMT. Of course, silly me. Deleting of one's posts doesn't make one a delusional fuck in and of itself, but couple that with his (some have referred to the user to as a her/she) recent postings, and I believe the moniker fits.
I see. Carry on then.  |

Err... why does deleting posts make one a delusional fuck?
More importantly, how did his date registered change?!

HA! Excellence, I found the wallet.dat file thanks to you. Now what do I do with it?
Lol, if this results in bitcoin, I'll send you a tip!
First make a copy of your wallet.dat. Put it in a safe place. The least technical method would probably be to install the latest version of Bitcoin Core. Before installing you could create a folder called "Bitcoin" in user>appdata>roaming (if running windows) and copy the wallet.dat file into that folder. Install Core, start it up, let it sync (may take a while depending on your resources) and see if you have a balance. More technical methods involve pulling the private keys from the wallet.dat and importing them into a light/online client. |

I "know" there are coins on the drive because I "put them on it". I can't remember how much is on it, but I remember I was pissed when I lost the drive during a move. One puts coins in a wallet by sending them to an address represented by a long string of numbers and letters; it has nothing to do with knowing what a "wallet.dat" file is.
The wallet.dat file holds your private keys. Private keys are what you need to access your coins. It has everything to do with knowing what a wallet.dat file is... more importantly where it is. |

in short RELEASE THE CODE and then let users run it... then later pools can start making bigger blocks when and only when they deem the saturation point has been reached that their blocks wont get rejected/orphaned. without having to check a calendar to find out when spring turns into summer.
RELEASE THE CODE AND LET USERS GET PREPARED AND START THE BALL ROLLING TO ALLOW POOLS TO DECIDE WHEN THEY THINK THEIR BLOCKS ARE SAFE TO BE MADE BIGGER
by stopping users from having the code your just delaying any prospect of pools ever growing. RELEASE THE CODE AND GET THE BALL ROLLING
Uhh... didn't Classic already "release the code"? Isn't the point of this thread that no one is using it? LOL? |
