I know I know, just this internet thing and all these on demand services have given the population the patience of a 3 year old

Its all these crazies I tell ye, in all honesty we know its going to $2000 so these people should just hurry up and get us there

Weekend rallys and week dumps/flat. Its the new paradigm!

Is it important though ? The market doesn't seem to think so.

Well the assertion is that not everybody may want to continue with sig campaigns at all. A couple of members have also said that they will keep their Ritz sigs for a few days for 'free' as a thanks. Im sure the landscape will be more obvious in the next week or two but I expect a lot of people re joining PD.

lol, all that and it could have been sorted out months ago. Ah well, shame your leaving us still Ritz ur posts look way better without red splattered on them

He's misunderstanding what the poster was saying. Obviously 1 in 20 means 5% adoption but Adrian was saying if 5% ends up using it we are at 0.5-1% now.

There are several Monero pools under operation. See the first page of the ann thread.

Yeah and you know what things are like on social media. If a video with a cat can be seen by 20 million through Facebook shares etc then any form of tipping on Facebook can only be a good thing!

RIP DRK bagholders...

People pay what they are willing to pay for something. Regardless of the fact willy accounted for 10% of the 20% gox had as a measure of global volume plus we all remember China was leading right , I fail to see how that effects the price today. The only thing that gives bitcoin is value is what somebody is willing to pay for it. You may be willing to pay less based on a belief the last bubble was soley to do with one bot but someone also has to be willing to sell to you on that reason alone. The fact that many knew something like this was 1) likely to be happening and 2) if you were around for the last 4 ish months of Gox' life people were speculating that this was going on even coining the 'bot' willy at the time was happening, means in general its not that huge of a deal.

 Add into that its still only speculation, none of this can be proved. It could easily be high value customers who didn't have accounts so as to not leave millions sitting in an account to be hacked. Instead they wired money direct to gox and in return Mark had programmed a 'bot' to execute trades at certain times. Given Marks track record it stands to reason he may also 'accidently' co-ordinate that to oppurtune moments.

Further to that as well the database leak while containing customers info, some have stated they dont show all their trades for that period. Is it not possible that someone doctored the database wrote this story and waited for an oppurtune moment to release it. Far fetched but just as speculative as the report.

While I agree, the self-interested coalition of miners errs on the side of caution in regard to centralization imo

Is it not expensive to get money in as well? I seem to remember hearing being charged 1% both ways?

I can post it in IRC if you post a link here when its up

Bad example, try torrents or something closer in anology to decentralization

The very best will likely be used in some situatioins as well. But network effect, first mover effect etc
Also if a country decides to print more money does that devalue my currency in my country?


Isn't that logical due to most the thefts, scams etc being because of 0 regulation rather than the bare minimum at least.


This is agree with you more on, thats why I have my coins already, first movers advantage etc.


How many people do you think who mined in 2009,20010, 2011 even 2012 still have all the coins they mined/bought now? Satoshis mined 1 million don't foget.

You wouldn't put it in your batch file. You would type minerd --help in a command prompt.

eg. open command prompt

change to the correct directory

eg. cd c:\users\desktop\miner

then type minerd --help

Jesus fucking christ I'd rather read about China banning bitcoin and be inundated with bear fud than read 5 pages all about our resident academic.

Can we move on... Please ?!

Just   t- <number of threads>

Precisely, if there wasn't enough fiat or people willing to pay whatever price then arb just wouldn't be possible at any real volume.

Please read the trolls last several posts and kindly not quote him again. ta
