1 game only gone, don't be fooled. Return to the mean is a thing.

Privacy coins look sick today

You are being a cancer why keep coming here to slate us?

You are likely correct that there is a sliding scale when it comes to fungibility, and I think that most free market types are going to perceive the most value in bitcoin being associated with greater levels of fungibility... so yeah, you are right that lesser fungibility may maintain some value, but the amount of decrease in value may be a lot greater than what you seem to be projecting it to be.  For example if confidence is lost because coins get blacklisted, then surely that seems problematic to me if it is allowed to occur.  So if any 3rd party such as coinbase or fed government tries to label coins, then there would likely be some effort by the bitcoin community to either not use their services or to move coins to other location and clean them of their blacklisting.

I think there is an argument to be made that zero fungibility may cause an increase in value as governments would accept and regulate such a state. I can see a scenario where your address will be issued and monitored. If this becomes a future scenario then TPTB would actually cause an increase in the value as institutional investment would increase exponentially. and Ironically BTC would become the exact opposite of what it was intended yet as a side effect continue to make early adopters rich.

there it is...perfect timing



I almost gave you a congrats merit for this. Tongue

Also glad there was a screenshot as I didn't know you had laughing man avatar that alone is merit worthly. Smiley

I'm with you I didn't have the heart to ruin his moment.

In fact, talking about bitcoin fungibility and taint and worrying about segwit is silly.  Bitcoin is already not very fungible. The fact the ledger is public, transparant and you can view the history of each satoshi brings fungibility down quite a bit.  Businesses have blacklisted coins or customers based onthe history of coin transactions.

This. Blacklisting stuff I might buy then find I cant spent unless I trick the next person.

Interchangeability is fungibilty, serial numbers don't stop 10$ notes being interchangeable. But if a set of serial numbers were invalidated somehow then it could be an argument.

We could all increase the marketing if we wanted, by wearing the logo or creating a signature and by posting relevant content here and there.

Fight the good fight.

There again a lot of skill in the England team.

It drives me mad how we keep passing back all the way then get pressured to make a mistake. Its so stupid when you are at their box.

Brazil had all the skill but they didn't seem that tight on defending.

Swiss clearly worked hard and had their defending locked down. Lots of time saved from attack.

Neymar wouldn't let the ball go and lost it so many times. I might even drop him if I were in charge there.

Faucets didn't give out free coins. They distributed coins from advertisers and sponsors. also from investors due to the house edge business model.

No coins appeared from no where (like in the banking model)

fungible?



Free flowing, identical, mutually interchangeable


People from the Bath office cant work in the London office because they have different network adapters. Is bad for resource fungibility in the company. The cant easily move between offices and work.

If you guys are interested, there is a Monero speculation thread.

For price news and discussions.

Here is a link https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=753252

Have to admit I wasn't expecting much from Spain, but I was wrong. I forgot just how many great players they have.

Why take of costa though and they ended up sitting a bit too back in keepy bally. Always feels dangerous.

Thanks for the thoughts, maybe they even lost control of the botnet by now. Anything is possible.
3356  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: June 16, 2018, 08:03:05 AM
+1 for 2019 and its not so long now. Used to be years away.    Smiley

I always assumed it was like 15%.

https://researchcenter.paloaltonetworks.com/2018/06/unit42-rise-cryptocurrency-miners/

Quote
The total hashrate above represents roughly 2% of the global hashing power mining the Monero network. The total hashrate of roughly 19MH/s would result in approximately $30,443 per day based on today’s current exchange rates and network difficulty.

Heard this news too. I did estimate ~25% botnets/viruses and ~25% ASICs in this year beginning. As we can see since April 6, after anti-ASIC hard fork to CryptoNight variant 1, total hash rate became ~1/2 of the previous one. So, actually I did over-estimate botnets/viruses hashrate and under-estimate ASIC hash rate. Now it is evident, ASIC was THE MOST VIOLENT disaster of Monero's hashrate, ~50% of total one!

Now consider botnets/viruses. Most of them might update their mining algo since April 6, or even find new vulnerabilities to inject new mining algo. But total hashrate does not increase, furthermore it does slightly decrease since last Monero price fall at ~June 13. Note, ~2.5 months have been passed since April 6 hard fork. Enough time to improve/upgrade botnets/viruses! So, we CAN NEGLECT botnets/viruses hashrate at all. And this assertion fits with Josh Grunzweig result ~2% (of total hash rate) from the article you mentioned exactly.

From the other hand, essentially the fact that Monero CAN BE mined by viruses does confirm its superior anonymity and decentralization at once. Smart people don't run suspicious software or run them inside a virtual machine jail. Just said.

Maybe the botnets didn't bother to change over, they would appear to still be running, but against the old fork, wouldn't they?

World cup, Lets Go!

Following this thread for tips, thanks all.

You know the signature campaigners must have taken over the rest of bitcointalk if theymos is finally retreating to this thread too.

I tried to go out there a few times, to spread the merit.

Its a sad world.

I sold bits and pieces. Not enough that I'm not a mountain of regret. TBH

Don't forget at that convenient time everyone could have been rich. Their funds were also all tied up in KYC.
