Thank you SP.

For those not familiar with the word "EDGARizer" it refers to Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval a online public accessible database set up by the US SEC (United States Securities Exchange Commission) set up by the The Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations ("OCIE") to protect investors & future investors through administering the SEC's nationwide examination and inspection that all parties have equal access to information provided by any party related to a "Public Companies" activity.

Figuring out how to store all the blockchain and database files on your large hard drive and not your C: drive is too complicated with Armory

Armory NEEDS a friendly wizard to assist people in moving the gigantic blockchain to their large hard drive.

I actually think the other companies will hit the network hard with a lot of hash at less than 0.12 per GH/s to push out a lot of miners.  It will be rough in the beginning for them but they will ultimately push everyone out.  The chances of them doing this during the winter is not as good as this coming spring.  So, if people are going to continue mining, this winter may be their final opportunity to do it at this low of difficulty.  I can see 90+ billion in difficulty quite easily by spring time with the new rigs about to hit the network.  

As far as my hair color, it has been the same for 20 years. Grey.
And Con artists  I feel far away.

There are others, but as their largest affiliate by quite a way I'm more likely to make noise than someone owed $100 who's forgotten about it. They also pulled the terms changing twice on me and less likely anyone else as I joined from day 0.

Hedgy (hi fella hope you are good !!) is slightly different as he chose the hardware credit initially and wanted to change to cash, I can sort of understand SP's position on that, but it gets murky when they have no stock left to use it on then they really should have settled up in BTC.

Thank you... really... i had to laugh hard when i read that.

But i don't blame you. It became obvious that you have some issue with recognizing these forms of moral behaviour.

Do you know the other side of the story or are you cheerleading ?

We all know that dogie/sp had a heated relationship mainly due the rating in his manufacturers guide, so it appears on the outside to be personal on SP's part.

dogie, If you aren't going the legal route, it at least deserves a post in the scam accusations board.

damn..i had a very good impresion on these spondolies-tech guys...sorry to hear they are in deep shit

Who in their right mind would put Dr. Balle on a crypto currency panel given his obvious lack of ethics and morals in judging someone without any evidence, proof, or a verdict?

Yeah, that seems quite easy. Why didn't I think of that? [/sarcasm]

Estimates of people who own some bitcoin range from 3'000'000 (Coinbase, BCI claims) to 300'000 (me).  The latter is my estimate of how many people own at least 1 BTC; together, those users own 99% of all bitcoins in existence.  

So, how many bitcoiners do you think know enough about the bitcoin protocol to understand how they can get get their transactions executed in one chain only; and know how to do that without messing up their wallet file; and can obtain a few satoshis that were mined after the fork; and are interested in handling split coins; and can find buyers who can also do all of that; and are dumb enough to buy coins that may die in a few days?

Yes, I have observed already that, for the fanatic bitcoiner, *every* detail of bitcoin is a feature; and *everything* that happens is "how the system works".  

Sorry, but it is a bug that the coins on each branch may or may not be moved independently, with most clients being unable ot understand or control what is happening.

Hackery is what you propose to do: move coins independently on the two branches by tainting them with coinbase coins, and sell the version you think will die to anyone fool enough to buy them, or to anyone naive enough to not understand what he is buying.   The 100 block delay was probably meant to discourage that kind of hackery after forks -- soft, hard, or accidental.

Correct.  More precisely, any UTXOs that were created before the fork exist and can be used on both branches.  If you try to move them without tainting, they will be moved on both branches, to UTXOs that are still untainted.  Once you get hold of some satoshis that were mined on one branch (either one), you can first move all your old UTXOs on that branch to new UTXOs, with tainted transactions, and then you can move again the same old UTXOs to still other UTXOs with untainted transactions, that will be executed only on the other branch (because on the first one those outputs are already spent).  

So,Spoondolies is going the way of KnC Imagine that......whoda thunk  

Of course I know that.  But how do you get those few satoshis?

Do you realize that 99.99% of the bitcoin holders will NOT know about that bug feature of the protocol, or would not have the means or interest of exploiting it? 

So how are you going to meet the 0.01% of users who know that, have got some coinbase satoshis from one of the branches, and are interested in trading single-branch bitcoins? 

By the way, there is a minimum delay of 50 blocks (IIRC) before one can use coinbase coins, presumably to discourage this sort of hackery.  On a branch with 25% of the mining power, that means at least 2 days. Wlll that branch survive that long?

Can you say exactly why the transaction would be valid only on that branch?

A fork occurs. There is demand for coins (and mining occurring) on both chains. So, we have two surviving block chains (for whatever period of time).
You will then have 1 XTcoin and 1 traditional bitcoin.
You can then taint one of your coins with coins which only exist on one of the forks. Let's say you get a few satoshis from block reward which occurred in a XT 8mb block (thus is not valid and does not exist on the 1mb chain). You can combine those satoshis with your 1 XTcoin by sending them to a new address under your control. This means your XTcoins can be safely moved separately from your traditional bitcoins.

If you don't taint your coins first, any transaction you make will be valid on both chains, so if you send your coins to an address which is not under your control, the holder of the private keys for that address will be able to get both your XTcoins and traditional bitcoins.
There is no risk for you, until you make the decision to taint your coins on one chain, and then exchange them for something of value. You will hold coins on BOTH chains until you take these actions. Even the tainting itself does not incur any risk for you. It simply allows you to craft transactions on each chain which is no longer valid on the other chain.

Hm, why are people euphoric about BIP100 superseding BIP101?

AFAIK, there is no implementation yet of BIP100, and its details are not even fully specified.  (Is there one?)

Because BIP101 is broken.

Speaking of asshats, Steve Ballmer said in 2007 - "There's no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. No chance. It's a $500 subsidized item. They may make a lot of money. But if you actually take a look at the 1.3 billion phones that get sold, I'd prefer to have our software in 60% or 70% or 80% of them, than I would to have 2% or 3%, which is what Apple might get."

 Imagine if we'd listened to him and not invested in Apple.

Well, can you say more specifically what is wrong with that quote?

but there is no information about releases yet?

Bitcoin XT being DOA is proof enough of their incompetence.

Misleading? Again pulling statements our of your ass because in my view a "misleading" move would be to say that they blocks will grow to 8MB, but instead they grow to 100MB. That is misleading! But good thing that we have the open source and that everyone can check on the code so the misleading statement is impossible!

Dangerous? Who are you to decide what's the best interest of other people?

Dangerous : Bitcoin XT

No they should resign because of sheer incompetence and for misleading Bitcoin users to get behind a potentially dangerous fork for political reasons.
