Crikey! When will it stop to rise at this pace?

It's been going down for too long, neglected, and all that totally unfair. Now it's catching up. It has to catch up to Litecoin. Either Litecoin steps down or Doge steps up, or something in between.

Please stop with the race against LTC.The last time poeple were chasing litecoin we all know how it ended.

Dogecoin is doge and it doesn't matter what other coins are valued at.
It's a different coin , a different community and much more.

Change your bank.Seriously. I live in the worst country in EU and still transactions between accounts on the same bank are instant.
There are 3 banks with which I tested this Erste Bank , BT and ING.

And about how hard it is to open... want to bet that I will open a usd or euro  account on any bank here in less than 15 minutes?




Your telling me you can open a bank account without proper ID in 15 minutes and you can transfer money to this bank account and also withdraw from this bank account? Doubt it.... And if this is possible,  Then whats all this talk about the Un-banked? Why don't they all just open an account in 15 minutes.

With BTC you dont need ID because ID doesn't matter , its trustless. I can download an app, accept btc from china and then send the same btc to indonesia all within 15minutes... try doing that with a bank lol

And I am with one of the Big 4 Banks of Australia. The instant transfer doesn't matter in my case as everyone already accepts it will take 1 day. I am talking about International money transfers. where it is not possible to have the same bank account.

I received some money back from a friend while I was in town. I had quite a few things to do , and the sum was pretty big so I entered the first bank I opened an account then went to the cashier and deposited the 1500 euros instead of risking to lose or getting robbed.

It was around 15 minutes in all.

About the talk , it's probably most bank haters.
Reminds me how happy those that criticized visa were when they were able to get their money back from the failures such as hashfast.Those that payed with bitcoin....ended up in tears.

And no , you can't send those coins in 15 minutes either. I probably was the unluckiest guy , trying to do a localbitcoin transactions just when one of the infamous >30 minute blocks happened. But shit can happen. Also most merchants use at least 3 confirmations.

The problem with your reasoning is that you claim everybody will be able to use btc directly in the coming years with no more banks needed to transfer the btc into cash but for once don't think that international transfers might be cut down to hours or even minutes.

So you take into account improvements only on one side.

Bitcoin has a lot of advantages but in it's current state has a lot of cons too.
And if you start thinking that the - will go away in time , probably this will happen to other services as well.


PS.
Check threads about paypal from two years ago and the new ones.
You will see how things have changed. If applepay will use bitcoin you're going to be a fan too Smiley.

Lastly, about your same bank claim, actually you might find this interesting -- me and my wife are with the same bank, but separate accounts. Guess what? It is not instant :O YEP that's true... -=Not instant=-, takes 1 business day. UNLESS we are Joint account holders , then any account you open under the account holders is instant to transfer between them.  And one last thing, Do you know how hard it is to open a bank account in most western countries? Lets just say I did not have a bank account but I wanted USD not BTC, I am talking about the dollar, now someone from Berlin wanted to give me money, did you know its actually a lot harder and a longer process to accept USD than it is to accept BTC.

^ So you are saying the math on the feedback loop from the source code is wrong?

Note: Please explain so I can understand where the math goes wrong. I'm not fully understanding what you and Danny are saying? I understand these dates were estimates, if you could show the math for the new estimates.

Adding hashrate continuously means that before the new difficulty adjournment blocks are generated faster and faster under 10 minutes..
With the next difficulty adjustment the blocks tend to be found again at 10 minutes but with new hash added will make them faster again till the next adjustment.

The math is not wrong it just that it doesn't take into account the change in the hashrate.
If for example the adjustment would happen every 10 block we won't see those huge differences.
545  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Power Company Tip Leads to Bitcoin Mining Raid on: September 14, 2014, 03:53:24 PM
I'd be so pissed if they broke into my house with loaded weapons simply because the electric company gave them a "tip".    Those rat bastards got their money for the bill but then ratted him out.  It isn't their job to report electricity use to the police, their not cops, that guy should be suing them and the cops.  Cops are to lazy to do any kind of investigation and just kick in doors from miscellaneous tips.  What did they find computers and some weed, tax dollars well spent I'd say.

I agree they should've collected more evidence before going in, because is a large electricity bill really proof of guilt of anything? In this case, obviously it wasnt.

Some of you need to move out of your mamma's basement.

Having a search warrant doesnt require a "proof of guilt" but only probable cause.

What a bunch of idiots.

Whatever the home owner did, he must have a record for a probable cause.


Before that he should have not any drugs in his house and not have been involved in MJ  in the past.
He is not the innocent guy and stop blaming the cops.

They come in with a mandate , they fund the drugs they arrested the guy.

It's the same when a cops pulls you over for speeding and finds drugs in your car.
Bitcoin is irrelevant.

No Difference - by design in the Bitcoin source code.


False.

As DannyHamilton said previous , yes bitcoins will be generated faster.

Reward-Drop ETA: 2016-08-18 21:30:50 UTC (117 weeks, 3 days, 7 hours)

I think this is about as accurate as we can be, this far out.

That was in May.
Right now :

Reward-Drop ETA: 2016-08-04 06:20:07 UTC (98 weeks, 3 days, 18 hours, 40 minutes)

It means that 14 days worth of coins will be mined before their schedule.

He should be banned from bitcointalk aswell, it seems the altcoin section admin had enough of his useless topics too, since it just got deleted.
I requested his ban from this thread 1-2 weeks ago, but this forum platform doesn't have that capability... so we're stuck. Unless they do ban him from the entire forum which they rarely do...

He won't get a permaban here for his posts, I can almost bet on this.

But then again , his posts might be useful for medical research.
Spend 15 minutes reading his posts or his blog , if you don't get a brain tumor then you might have some genes that might cure cancer.
Cheesy Cheesy

he's a proven scammer but I won't take your bet, I agree he won't be banned...

PG  was banned for posting 9 times in row in the same thread. That was the lest drop.
Seems like DI is trying it's best to do the same/

The NAF is now leveling every square inch of the Donetsk Airport using Grad rockets. Earlier, there were artillery attacks towards the Donetsk city residential areas from the Airport. Casualties were reported in that attack, and the NAF seems to be pretty pissed off with it. Eyewitness reports indicate that the whole area is burning as a result of the attack.

Peace loving pro russian forces in action.
Also I am happy to see you as a supporter of destruction and conflict.

I'll drink some champagne when a bomb hits your hut ,let's see then if you're so eager to see rockets flying.

The Ukrainian troops at the Donetsk airport have been shelling the citizens of Donetsk for weeks. They are responsible for dozens, if not hundreds of civilian casualties amongst the Donetsk population.

But I guess you don't care about that?

All of the Ukie troops at the airport deserve to burn. Every last one. May they rest in peace.

The rockets from the NAS that hit the airport are coming from inside the city.
Why are the launchers located there?

I remember Putin wanted Ukrainian troops away from the towns and cities but the rebels can stay there and use human shields with no problem Wink.

Typical double standards.
550  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2014-09-14]The 5 Most Popular US States for Bitcoin on: September 14, 2014, 02:21:48 PM
The author is either smoking weed or have no idea about the Bitcoin sector in the United States. IMO, Ohio must be in the top 3, as they have a Bitcoin boulevard in addition to other Bitcoin-based ventures. Also, none of the states in the Pacific Northwest feature in this article. The Bitcoin sector is really booming in states such as Washington and Oregon, but the author completely ignores them.

Have you ever been in those cities and states?
But I remember you said you never set foot in the US and you don't plan to go into this rotten country.

So , how the hell do you know this better than people living there?
551  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Honoring Hal Finney on: September 14, 2014, 02:11:17 PM
Ethereum already decided to use "finney" (before Hal passed away):

from whitepaper:


Quote
Currency And Issuance
The Ethereum network includes its own built-in currency, ether, which serves the dual purpose of providing a
primary liquidity layer to allow for efficient exchange between various types of digital assets and, more
importantly, of providing a mechanism for paying transaction fees. For convenience and to avoid future
argument (see the current mBTC/uBTC/satoshi debate in Bitcoin), the denominations will be pre-labelled:
● 1: wei
● 10^12: szabo
● 10^15: finney
● 10^18: ether

So the name is taken.

Can you please send me one finney from your crapthereum wallet?

555  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Apple pay will make bitcoin (even more) useless. Let's deal with it. on: September 14, 2014, 01:29:27 PM

And you totally missed all my points, If you read my first post I said in a world where most people accept BTC,  meaning once you receive the BTC you do not need to change it back into $... And you said you need to make an account for BTC? No you don't, all you need to do is simply download a wallet and give the sender your wallet address, done! and you can now spend BTC. Literally within 15 minutes of not having anything to do with bitcoin, you can install and app and receive btc and start spending it anywhere there is internet.

Flawed logic , you can't receive bitcoins out of the blue , you have to pay for them. Meaning that there is a process far longer than 15 minutes involved.
Also what about a world where everybody uses the same bank so bank transfers are instant?



Curious though, if you do not believe in BTC why do you like roaming a BTC forum, seems like everything you say about it is negative.  

Again you're wrong.
I am tired of people saying bitcoin is the solution for everything , it is safer , it is faster it is bla bla bla but no , they are lead by dreams without seeing the actual stage bitcoin is right now.

While I'm actually bullish on btc I can't stop laughing at people claiming that there are no alternatives and that bitcoin is the best always.
You also use the argument of fees without thinking about progress in the other payments systems also.

How expensive was to make a phone call 10 years ago... how expensive is now?
Why shouldn't that happen to phone payments also?
Disregarding the improvements of other payments solutions and is a bad idea  when evaluating bitcoin.


ps,
Stop with that ,"if you don't share our opinion you're against us"  communist way of thinking.

Digital Industry has access to the OP.
No I don't think he does. Why would Max share the password for the announcement thread ? It doesn't make much sense.

maybe becasue someone clued him in to your useless fools parade of; "pretend to do things" for "the community".

but oh ,dam , always seem to hate any real news or innovation ha ha.

where did they find you guys?

really?

Even Max himself admitted you are a nutjob in the chat. I think it's time for you to make a new account since everyone knows digitalindustry aka kolin evans is a conspiracy nutjob scammer. Banned from /r/Quarkcoin permanently with the community being glad it happened.

Now i see Quark having a bright future without this tard.


http://www.reddit.com/r/QuarkCoin/comments/2g023x/kolin_evans_has_finally_been_banned_from/

Posting the link again so everyone here gets why he was banned , even new users.

Also , posting  it because I feel so good reading the discussion again and again

Let's wait and see the real world application.
Apple will certainly publish some numbers in terms of transactions volume in a few months.

The interesting thing is that the picture uses the term "possible" when it comes to bitcoin...
From possible 7 billions to the 60k daily transaction...that is one hell of  gap that needs to be filled.
