So someone created a shitcoin to get rich, someone (the same someone?) no doubt earned a lot of money, and now they're considering undoing the last few days so they can earn more profit again?
Who's going to lose money in this twice?

I have also heard that Do Kown shorted his luna after selling his reserve BTC in a loss.
I didn't follow the "who's who" in Luna land, but if this is the same guy in charge of "minting" much more Luna, then it's obvious he knew shorting would pay off.

I now wonder how many people will end up in jail for this.
724  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Electrum Transaction Issue: Unconfirmed Parent; Insufficient fee problem on: May 13, 2022, 02:11:43 PM
It's fine, I might just redo transaction 1 and 2 later
For the next time: if possible, using "Pay to many" in Electrum gives you lower total fees. You'll have one transaction with multiple outputs and only one change address.

I think the problem here is the 3 transactions are somehow linked with each other, which creates a chain reaction.
That's how a blockchain works: each transaction uses the output from the previous transaction.

Do you know why this would happen? so I can avoid this situation in future payments
If you have multiple inputs in your own wallet you can use Coin control to avoid this, but you don't need to. It's normal.

I don’t know where you got the idea of a dollar related bitcoin standard; maybe I wasn’t clear about this.
I got the idea from mentioning UST, which is was "backed" by Bitcoin for it's dollar value.

Quote
My idea of the bitcoin standard is precisely what you described with your El Salvo coins
In that case: it turns out we agree all along Wink

Quote
Of course, this ElSalvo token must enable some unique feature To justify its existence and use instead of bitcoin itself.
That's why I used the example of physical banknotes. It's quite unique nowadays already if they're backed by anything, but backing by Bitcoin would be unique for sure.
726  Economy / Economics / Re: Is TERRA/Luna kickstarting a new Bitcoin Standard? on: May 13, 2022, 09:05:24 AM
The whole idea of a Bitcoin Standard is wrong: with the gold standard, a dollar was worth a certain amount of gold. With a Bitcoin Standard, a TerraShitcoin should have been worth a certain amount of Bitcoin. That would make it just another fake wrapped Bitcoin, so there's no point other than earning money for the creator.
You can't use one thing to peg something to something else.
That means the "Bitcoin Standard" is just as buzz word, typical for money grabbing schemes.
Well, I won't be so sure about this.
What is a BTC on the lightning network? Those are satoshi outside the blockchain pegged to Satoshis on the blockchain.
Bitcoin LN is not just pegged, it's pegged by signed transactions. But more importantly: it doesn't make any promise about the value in another currency than it's own. That's a crucial difference.

Quote
Is a bitcoin on the Lightning Network less a bitcoin than the ones on the blockchain? I doubt so.
Some say it's different, most people seem to be okay with LN.
But that's different than pegging UST to BTC's dollar value. The fundamental problem is that the underlying currency (Bitcoin) isn't stable. You can't ever guarantee stability by using something that's not stable. You could say 1 UST is worth a bottle of beer for all I care, and as long as you have enough bottles of beer in stock, you can guarantee a 1 on 1 swap back. But if it's beer you have, you can't guarantee a bottle of Coke per UST.

Taro, for example, will open a lot of possibilities to enable tokens on the BTC technology. How will be this different from a Bitcoin Standard?
I had to look it up: Taro on lightning.engineering:
Quote
We see Taro as an important step in bitcoinizing the dollar, getting the best of both worlds by 1) issuing assets like stablecoins on the most decentralized and secure blockchain, bitcoin and 2) allowing users to transact on the fastest global payments network with the lowest fees, Lightning.
I assume this will use for instance Tether. It sounds like a huge improvement to transfer USDT on LN instead of centralized networks such as Ethereum or Binance. But Tether is pegged to the dollar by keeping a big stash of dollars. That's also debated and doubted: do they really have 79 billion dollars? Let's assume they have: in that case Tether isn't based on a Bitcoin standard, it's based on a dollar standard. Transacting over the LN network doesn't change that, and as long as you trust the company behind Tether, you can use it.

This was the main purpose of this thread, without getting too interest in LUNA's fate. But of course, things in this universe happen often faster than thought.
I'd expect an opposite implementation of the Bitcoin Standard: let's take El Salvador as an example, and let's assume they implement a Bitcoin Standard. Instead of holding 10 tonnes of gold, they hold 19,348 Bitcoin (worth about the same as 10 tonnes of gold). The can now issue banknotes, let's call them ElSalvos, worth 19,348 Bitcoin. If they issue 1 billion ElSalvos, each Elsalvo is worth 0.0193mBTC. At the El Salvador Central Bank, you can exchange your ElSalvos for Bitcoin if you want.

TL;DR: if you want a Bitcoin Standard, forget about dollars Wink

Lazlo didn't pay for his pizzas IRL Wink

The best place for Bitcoin purchases in the Netherlands is Arnhem: about a hundred shops accept it, some of them take Lightning too.
728  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Should we all buy a Bitcoin Pizza? on: May 12, 2022, 07:33:48 PM
I use Bitcoin to pay wherever it's possible. Especially online, IRL isn't possible very often.

https://bitinfocharts.com/bitcoin/address/bc1q9d4ywgfnd8h43da5tpcxcn6ajv590cg6d3tg6axemvljvt2k76zs50tv4q

Did they empty the whole address? Do they have zero coins left?

Profit from price change:   -489,356,486.9 USD
Wtf!!!!!!
I'll admit I didn't care enough to follow this closely, and it feels like adding insult to injury, but did they really have 42,530 Bitcoin to "back" their "stable" "coin"? It just dropped under $0.30!

So let me get this straight again: they had 42,530 Bitcoin to "back" their made-up "stablecoin", and to keep it stable, they have to sell Bitcoin when Bitcoin drops. Selling tens of thousands of Bitcoin means Bitcoin drops further, which means the more they sell, the lower their "stablecoin" gets! That's as dumb as it gets!
Who thought this was a good idea?
732  Economy / Economics / Re: Is Luna kickstarting a new Bitcoin Standard? on: May 10, 2022, 08:57:15 PM
I've heard about it before, and I still don't get it: what's the point of using Bitcoin for a stable coin?
In my no doubt limited understanding it works like this: if Bitcoin goes up, the company makes a profit. If Bitcoin goes down, they're short on money. Who would invest in this if they'll only take the risk but not the profit?
I called it. It didn't take long to actually happen.

Stable coins are not in the interest of Bitcoin users.
733  Economy / Services / Re: [LoyceMobile] Signature available! Accepting Bitcoin Lightning (LN) only on: May 09, 2022, 08:17:13 AM
@WhyFhy: Thanks for your offer. I was however invited to join another campaign, which I had accepted 2 days earlier.

10,000 sats for slot 3 until I'm outbid? or your tired of looking at it?
Best I could do is 1 year:
I can make a deal per post, per day, per week, per month or per year.
Without an end-date, I can't come up with a pro rated refund if someone else overbids your spot. If you're okay with that, I'd gladly add 1SPLiTKEY after my current signature ends. I wasn't planning on adding a commercial signature to LoyceMobile, but icopress asked nicely Wink

I don't know if you've just haven't rented it for a while or what, if it has been 2 years it helps my odds and you can stack sats  but I figured the worst you could say is no , or write a paragraph on why you dont want to advertise my service.
I haven't been very active on this topic, and indeed it has been a while.

Quote
Id ask for 1SPLiTKEY (bct topic) to be advertised.
Might I suggest adding an mouse hover text?

However, my buddy who does BTC has BTC and puts his address and also says 0.00000BTC
He probably has more than one address. Look at change addresses for example.

I will donate any payment received from this campaign in March and April 2022 to icopress. I'm just not telling him yet, because I don't want to create a conflict of interest. I will reveal this signed message on May 1, 2022.

Having an empty Bitcoin address doesn't do you any good. LoyceV will find your address from the screenshot tomorrow and check when you moved your Bitcoin.
