Just don’t update your client LFC, it will remain working just fine.

Has anyone thought about the fact that there will probably be no network fees when you buy something with bitcoin using PayPal?
Bueller?
As in PayPal is acting as a second layer on top of Bitcoin? Guess that Hal Finney was right, slowly but surely moving to bitcoin banks: Post from Finney, handsomely merited by ... yourself https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2500.msg34211#msg34211(and 10 merits by Mindrust, reality is better than fiction)

The Great decoupling TM(Gold, S&P 500, Bitcoin and eth, 12 Oct - 20 Oct)

https://twitter.com/filbfilb/status/1318181034169683968Bitcoin's cyclical behaviour is difficult to escape from. Same week 4 years ago, Bitcoin was trying to finally break the 50% bear market fib retracement. It never looked back after that & tested ATH by January. This time it's different?
[...]
From this point in the last cycle, Bitcoin did a 30x in a little over a year. Going from $700 to $20k in 12 months was pretty much unthinkable. Happened though!

[...] Also, does anyone have a list of reliable nodes? it's already complaining about a lack of such.... :|
https://monero.fail/Need to use a remote node in the interim? Point your wallet to one of the nodes at monero.fail. Just make sure you understand the privacy limitations of using a remote node (they know your IP, what blocks you request, and what transactions you send with their node).

^ A premium is paid for newly mined bitcoins purchased directly from miners. Same for the ones auctioned by the US Marshals. This means all bitcoins are already selling for a discount because of having transaction history, and some more than others.

Well, then the DEV's and the monero community have to release 17.2.0 for GUI and CLI quite urgently in my opinion I can connect my wallet to my private node without any problems, but on my personal PC i am stuck at block 2210720 following message being delivered all the time 2020-10-18 14:13:51.983 I [51.79.173.165:18080 OUT] Sync data returned a new top block candidate: 2210720 -> 2211044 [Your node is 324 blocks (10.8 hours) behind] 2020-10-18 14:13:51.983 I SYNCHRONIZATION started 2020-10-18 14:13:53.827 W monerod is now disconnected from the network
Release binaries that include the fix will follow shortly. Some more background information on the cause of the issue: A small unofficial post-mortem from me: at block 2210000 CLSAG should've started and MLSAG transactions (old ones) shouldn't have been allowed to enter the mempool anymore. Whatever old transactions were left there should've been mined in the next few blocks, way before block 2210720. But due to an oversight, they kept appearing in the mempool and eventually 2 old MLSAG transactions were mined in block 2210720. Here comes the second oversight: once a transaction is in the mempool and verified, it's not verified again when it's included in a new mined block. Old transactions were verified with v13 rules, but then were added without verification to block 2210720 which used v14 rules. All nodes that were online didn't "see" the problem and kept working. All nodes that synced later refused to sync that specific block. The patch just adds 2 rogue transactions as exceptions to v14 rules.
The simple fix to this kind of bug is to re-check all transactions in the mempool once consensus rules change, i.e. at the fork height.

Thanks for the link dEBRUYNE. Not good, fortunately the already online nodes are not affected.

Lord Jesus... judging from the type and size of the scale (that's like a deli scale) I would think thats at least 50k worth of gold, lol. Do you think they decided to rubber glove him because of the way he was waddling around... and how the hell do you sit? You have a golden eye cAPSLOCK. From the article: “and discovered he had about 2 pounds in bullion shoved into his rectum”. Which is currently about $55k (29+ ounces), ouch!

Speculating, but the hashrate dropped from 1.924 to 1.502 GH/s after yesterday’s fork. Which is about a 22% decline. Might be that a botnet was not able to update their ‘remote miners’. Can we somewhere see the hashrate on the minority chain, it might be that it is still going at about a quarter of the hashrate.
