Buy an egg poaching pan. It's like a normal pan with a metal plate on top. The plate's got holes in it to fit little cups into. You crack an egg into each little cup, fill the pan with water, then boil it.

Now that the market has started to make a big adjustment, bitcoin is down nearly 100% from $20,000.
Other altcoins have fallen even more, and if the bear market comes, I think most of them will die.

That's the gamble you take buying altcoins. If you buy now and bitcoin recovers you could get big wins, but it's risky. Altcoins are cheaper because nobody knows which way bitcoin's going to go. I daren't guess if the correction will continue.

I hope that this will work. And now it is time to chose the right delegates. I still only know one delegate i will vote for.


What is the forging do? and how can it have any impact on the price of LSK which honestly is kind of a disappointment it used to be much higher than this, I don't know if Iconomi and other ETH contracts made it useless or what.

If Lisk's like NXT then forging is like mining, but the forger only gets any transaction fees in a block. No new coins ever get generated, all the coins that will ever exist are made in the genesis block. However, NXT doesn't have delegates, that idea came from BitShares. With delegates a small number of addresses take it in turns to mine each block, and whales get to vote on who is a delegate, with each of their coins counting as a vote.

I doubt forging will affect the price of Lisk, it offers nothing new that hasn't already been done.

The China rumors are not confirmed anywhere, and at the same time zerohedge started them a huge spam attack started all over this forum. There's a thread about it in meta.

Big spam attack in the main section

A day later and the forum is still being spammed by newbie accounts repeatedly posting the same FUD thread. Manipulators are putting massive efforts into fudding the price down when it was overdue a retrace anyway. There would have been a retrace without the FUD, but the FUD probably made it bigger by panicking traders.

The trend continues.
5  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Petition for sites to accept Bitcoin? on: October 17, 2016, 12:50:55 AM
I often see sites requesting donations/tips through paypal,and I often feel like contacting them to suggest adding a Bitcoin tips address to their site. Sadly I never found the motivation to make that suggestion yet. However, I might contact a few sites after reading this thread. Some popular open source software developers have paypal donation buttons, but no Bitcoin addresses. Adding addresses could make the developers money and spread awareness of Bitcoin to the software users.
6  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Price Hits 11-Week High as Market Looks Past High-Profile Cyber Attacks on: October 17, 2016, 12:40:27 AM
It might be a 11-week high, but we have been in this range ($630-$640) for quite a while now.
Nothing has fundamentally changed. I guess we have to break $650 now for some directional indication.

We were at $660-$650 before the Bitfinex hack, then there was a dump down to $600, then Bitfinex was hacked and there was a heavy crash below $600. Getting back above $600 was directional indication enough for me. That's above the price immediately before the Bitfinex hack. Going above $650 will confirm the direction, not give an indication of it.

This is the Home of Satoshi and something none of the other forums can claim. This is also the most active Bitcoin community on the internet.. so



That's my primary reason for being here. Satoshi invented Bitcoin, and created this forum to discuss it. All his posts are still available to read here, and they are often quoted to demonstrate what Satoshi thought about various issues. That makes this forum is the center of the Bitcoin community.

OP, you are so full of shit that you should be holding your head in shame!

If anybody had followed your advice when you posted this thread, they would have either:
a) Sold everything they had and cried when the price went up or
b) Held off on buying any bitcoins as they would still be waiting for your imaginary price drop that never came.

You are a FUDder...end of story.

I also will do agree with you this is nothing more than FUD, it will never in real world only just into imagination of OP, although at the moment it's bearish but it doesn't make any sense it could drop like this,

@OP look at this thread what they are talking about $2000 in next few months,
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1576150.0

The OP probably intended to buy on a small price dip created by this and a hundred other FUD threads he started with newbie accounts. I hope nobody fell for his scammy advice and lost money because of it.
9  Economy / Speculation / Re: BITFINEX crashed, bitcoin price falls. Will it recover? on: August 03, 2016, 11:38:32 AM
A month after Bitstamp was hacked the price shot back up to its pre-hack price. A day after the crash it had shot back over 30% from its lowest price. The best time to buy is during the panic dump, which was down to $465 this time. The price will probably have recovered from the Bitfinex hack within a month.
10  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: July 31, 2016, 08:26:56 PM
before the drop about 1.7Million$ in longs covered.
~6hours later... CRASH! shorts went from ~18K to ~21.7K BTC during those 30min, now shorts continue to rise.
and then ~1million in new longs were taken after the drop.



not sure wtf shorters are expecting to accomplish...

The walls on finex look like there's little to stop a pump to $679. There's only about 2.5k Bitcoins for sale up to that price, then a wall. A whale going long might be waiting to pump the price back up.

11  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is the only trusted cryptocurrency on: July 13, 2016, 03:06:45 PM
At this case, I will presume that the only trusted coin is bitcoin. What are your thoughts on this? Do you agree with me?

Trusted by whom? Altcoins are trusted by (at least part of) their supporters as well. The main difference compared to Bitcoin is the much smaller number of people that trust in these altcoins.

It is correct that altcoins are generally viewed with more skepticism, because there have been a large number of premine and other scams related to them. However there are also serious contenders among them. The reason that even these coins fail to gain prominence is not related to trust issues. The primary reason is that Bitcoin is simply too dominant to allow for the existence of equally important altcoins. The network effect of Bitcoin as a first mover draws in all resources in terms of developer talent, liquidity, and market acceptance. Even for perfectly sincere new altcoins it is extremely difficult to withstand this effect and grow longer term.

ya.ya.yo!

There are people who haven't even heard of Bitcoin who wouldn't trust it because it's an unknown to them. Other people have heard of Bitcoin but know nothing about it, and don't know that altcoins exist.

In this community Bitcoin generally has the most trust, and the altcoins have progressively less trust as their market caps get progressively smaller.
12  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin will reach $1000 again or not ? on: July 13, 2016, 02:56:26 PM
Not. Bitcoin is in a down trend. And all the bugs and problems are now well known and not solvable. It will take some time, but eventually value will approach zero. See clear evidence of this by doing an analysis.



isn't  $200 a support and then the $400 was also the next support level and this time its the $600. I think $800 will be the next support.
This is just how i see it though.

Half a year ago it was struggling to stay above $400 and today it's $660. Half a year ago people were saying it would crash to $300 but it went up. In another half a year it will probably go above $800 but it won't happen overnight. Eventually it will go above $1000 in the long term.

BTC & ETH ATH INCOMING

It was a foregone conclusion earlier, but the final votes have now been counted. It's 52% in favour of leaving. Bitcoin's back up to the $670s today and will probably be in the $800s soon as the implications of a brexit vote spread across the markets.

Leave's won, the bbc website shows its reached the threshold number of votes to win no matter how the remaining votes are cast. It's 52% leave 48% stay.

EU referendum: UK votes to leave in historic referendum
15  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: June 24, 2016, 04:16:05 AM
What are the standings??

Leave 52% (12.1 million) Remain 48% (11.5 million).  Not finished counting yet though.

You can see the proportions of votes as they are counted here. At the moment it's the opposite of the predictions the financial market traders were betting on, there is about 52% in favour of leaving.

A brexit could start chaos in the currency markets and make Bitcoin a safer option.

I just heard Amanpour interview someone warning against a meltdown of the financial markets. "The Pound might even go 20% down!", he said. So yeah, bitcoin, that may go down 25% overnight without any reason whatsoever, is a safer option.  Huh

Yes but your Bitcoin bank can't go bankrupt like your fiat bank. People won't like having their money in the bank taken to bail it out if it goes bankrupt because of chaos in the currency markets.

Brexit is coming.
New YouGov poll: 52% remain http://news.sky.com/watch-live

Doesnt look like bitcoin cares tough.

You can check the results as they come out here.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/politics/eu_referendum/results

There are no results in yet but they have started counting, and that page will give live updates. The first results are expected in another hour and a half. It should be another ten hours until we get an idea of the final result unless there is a landslide one way or the other.

A brexit could start chaos in the currency markets and make Bitcoin a safer option.
18  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: origin of bitcoin on: June 23, 2016, 07:52:29 PM
hey guys. when did they dig up the first block and how much bitcoins was it worth.

The first block was the genesis block its hardcoded into the Bitcoin platform.

There is a wiki that explains Bitcoin for anyone who wants to learn about it.

https://bitcoin.org/en/faq

It has a page that explains what the genesis block is, and how it contains the message "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks". That's a Times newspaper headline, and that day's newspaper is now a rare collector's item.

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Genesis_block

Quote
The coinbase parameter (seen above in hex) contains, along with the normal data, the following text:[2]

The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks[1]
This was probably intended as proof that the block was created on or after January 3, 2009, as well as a comment on the instability caused by fractional-reserve banking. Additionally, it suggests that Satoshi Nakamoto may have lived in the United Kingdom.

The original newspaper from which this title was taken has become a collector's item, and very few copies have been identified.

It went up $55 in ten minutes. That's a fast unexpected pump. okcoin's leading this pump in China. The Chinese whales must have decided to start buying before they go to bed in case the west buys all the cheap coins while they sleep.
20  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Quotes from Satoshi - Early stages of bitcoin development on: June 10, 2016, 04:52:11 PM
You can get t-shirts with Satoshi quotes on them now. This one's got a famous Satoshi quote on, and I prefer it to some of the rubbish t-shirts you can buy from high street shops. The only thing I don't like about it is the creator should have put Satoshi's name on it to let newbies know who it's quoting.



Thanks for the reply,

It's awesome to see t-shirts with Satoshi's quotes on it.

Is there a website, or other styles (with light, background design), available?

Yes, they do a grey one too, and you can pay in Bitcoins.

http://www.satoshigallery.com/product/satoshi-nakamoto-quote-grey/

There is also a white one at this link. Sadly that quote seems to be the only one they print onto t-shirts. They might start printing more Satoshi quotes after the next rally.
