Your way of handling it is the way of losing everything. Remember the british guy winning 60 million euro? He now works for mcdonalds again.

Dreams of spending it is not the same as securing the future.

And investing... that is the way to go. Live from the earnings of your investment first. But be careful, many invested on this forum and lost huge amounts of coins.

Money itself is not needed. Though it can provide the things needed. Food, living room, clothes, medicin, everything needed to life.

It's a pity but there is no way around working to get some.

Ask me as escrow... and I would say dishonesty is deadly.

In real life living with other persons... you don't need to tell something that you don't want to tell so speaking around it is fine.

What do you want to proof with this graph? It only shows the total amount of fees. Which does not make much sense to compare with times where the blocks were not full nor mit times where the bitcoin price was very different. Besides that... there is clearly a rising from 2015.

Ah, so when you post something you can't proof with a link then it is fine, though not when I do the same. I know already you life with double standards alot. So I won't spend time on climbing up your wall of anger and naming.

You can't force people to adopt something they don't have a usecase for. That's nonsense argumentation. And if the only force to force people to use it will be the limited blocksize then you can be very sure that people will find another way to avoid that extortion. Doesn't matter if we like it or not.

You know how payment channels are established? Then as long as you can't tell me that there will be the possibility to send to more than one received through such a payment channel then my point is valid.

Sure there is no fixed fee. Though there are times you need to pay more than at other times. And the days of transactions going through instantly with minimum fee are over. So it really does not need much intelligence to see the trend going on. The reason is clear.

So you say I'm not sure but you post numbers where you are not sure too.

Anyway... segwit first needs adoption to have an effect. This takes time. And the best effect it would have on multisig transactions. Which is not something that is spread as far as was assumed in this claim for the future.

Right, I chose the wrong word. I meant I don't really see a lot of usecases for LN, not for segwit.

Sure I keep bitcoins in my wallet. But to send it wherever I want. I would not bind them into a payment channel to some exchange only because I might send some bitcoins there in the future. Why should I when I could freely decide about it? So no, I don't really see usecases for myself nor for most users.

And receive coins possibly coming from a scam. Which would not be funny if someone would try to claim these are his coins that were stolen. There is no case yet but someone might try this.

Why would you believe him? He would have had access to ALOT of bitcoins when his friend would have been satoshi and gave him access to the privkeys.

So no, surely he is not satoshi.

It's the same for me. I don't have a clue about his intentions. And this way of backing out, trying to sow doubts that he might still be satoshi but only lost the courage to proof it... no surely a hoax. He would have contacted core devs to fix it first otherwise.

So OP would you explain where the failure of blockchain wallet was? They are automated so it is very unlikely that they accidentally used that fee. Ok, they have a lot of code problems but if they had then you would not be the only one complaining. So it looks like it was your error. On what reasons could you sue them then. For not disallowing you a free choice?

I think it's their own fault. Stating that he is satoshi without a verifyable proof, not being allowed about a possibly invented proof... no, it's their own fault. Too bad gavin made it too easy for others to discredit him.

No, that was what we believed at the start. But it proved to be a valid attack vector to attack bitcoin through it's client. Regardless of what the protocol will look like that will change the ways bitcoin goes. You could attack bitcoin through core devs or through alternative forking clients. It's best to do it both.

Yes, bitcoiners could chose, but be honest... most bitcoiners will use what is presented. Only a core of them will chose with some checking before.

Sure... a newbie claiming that we are wrong in being sceptic... man, this it bitcoin world. We learned it the hard way to be sceptic. And no, there is no proof yet. So you are nothing more than a believer.

Sometimes there are offers in the trading section where people sell freshly mined coins. Of course for an upprice. Though that would be how it goes.

I often enough had to send with 0.20$, which is less than half of the minimum paypal fee and clearly it goes in this direction.

I'm really not sure about the effect of segwit since the effects that are hoped on are mostly calculated with a way higher amount of multisig transactions, as far as I remind correctly. I'm really not sure that we can build on this. Of course even when it not brings nearly to 50$, every 10% is a nice thing. Only the big question is if it really will help avoiding full blocks.

And segwit... as far as I learned about it... I don't see a usecase for me and I doubt many other users have. If one has as much coins to block it in some payment channel then ok, possible LN user. But most users have the amount for one payment, that's it. So the LN effect won't be high too. Besides that... LN is not really a loved thing.

When they don't want to pay back then could this do enough harm for them? At least they are big so this amount is not so very huge for them like it would be for a small pool. So it's likely they really will pay back.

It is really strange that no one asked to get it back yet. It's not that someone can say that it's fine to lose it...

Sure, I can proceed with being escrow once there is a way to do it without me installing another wallet.

Great that the coins could be taken out of novaexchange...

You were lucky that you sent at a time without overload though there are times at a day when it does not work except you pay fees that more and more look like paypal fees.

I welcome segwit but it surely can't bring the huge effect as fast as needed. Well, maybe it will surprise.

The gpu coins should be on the way. At least I confirmed the withdrawal. Hope it goes through...

I did not experience the same thing though there are less woman in the space that are interested in it or are big in the scene. I think the reason simply is the way bitcoin came to live. A dry topic... mathematics... and what's the men-women-ratio in that areas? The big heads in there are mostly men too.

So I think it is plain stupid to demand equality where one should judge from knowledge and experience only. If a woman did not sit there even if she would have been better suited there than one of the mens then fine. That would be unequalitity. But taking taking in persons, regardless of some outer appearence, that are less experienced... why? To make it more colorful?

Imagine having a brain tumor and you want to have the best treatment. Though you get a way less capable doctor to do the task than you would have gotten. Simply because that doctor has some meaningless different appearence.

It probably is a coin that is not big enough yet. Luckily it is in the beginning status so the hacker did not care yet. Might have saved the coins.

I'll wait for a gpu coin address from issuer.
