What a cop out response.
The email address it was sent from is the same email used when Satoshi first wrote about bitcoin.

So instead of speculation, we can look at these facts:

1) It is Satoshi's email address
2) Either Satoshi wrote this email or a someone that gained access to his account did
3) A signed PGP message would have proven it was Satoshi
4) An unsigned PGP message doesn't prove OR DISPROVE that it was Satoshi

XT is not the only solution to larger blocks. Core could support larger blocks as well once there is a consensus and an actual need to increase the block size. Blocks aren't filing up yet, except during the 'stress tests'. A fork will be required either way to support larger blocks but the way this fork is being done with XT, I cannot get behind.

Agreed. But if Gavin and Mike are going rogue then I'm glad Satoshi said something about his disapproval.


What if he destroyed those keys? It's possible he got rid of them.


If it wasn't him then someone has access to a very powerful email address, and they haven't used it for anything else nefarious except that one email. It seems strange to me that a thief would show such restraint.


NP, we're all on the same team, team crypto

Exactly.
Take a screwdriver for example, just a normal tool in the hand of a non-criminal. Give it to a criminal and they use it to bust open the ignition when stealing a car. All depends on how it is used.

So you agree the only reason you posted on this thread was to spam a coin that only exists because the person "who may or may not" exist laid the blueprint and did all the work for Charlie Lee?
Let's stay on topic here, shall we? And keep altcoin discussion in the altcoin section.

Did you really not read a single post in this thread just so you could spam an altcoin that everyone is already aware of?  This thread is about the alleged email from Satoshi scolding the XT fork not who he is or if he exists.

Excellent twist on a faucet. Your graphics are really nice and creative. I get a little lost trying to play the game 

As much as I am against the XT fork, the above is not true. There are several with commit access to XT including:

- Hearn (obviously)
- Gavin Andresen
- Jeff Garzik
- Jonas Schnelli
- Wladimir J Van Der Laan
- Jorge Timon
- Cory Fields
- Suhas Daftuar
- Pieter Wuille

I can go further back, but this should give you an idea. The above people have made a commit to bitcoinXT since May 12th 2015. Since July 2015 the only person making commits has been Hearn.

Hahaha, I very much enjoyed this line. It's funny because it's true. Kwuckduck is such a legendary bear troll, he's one of the very few accounts on my ignore list.

The next bubble will come when we all least expect it. We've all been looking at graphs, drawing lines, looking for patterns. BTC doesn't give a hoot about that stuff. There will be another amazing rise, it's just a matter of when.

I guess it's opinion but people usually take into consideration:
- Design
- Payout amount
- Payout frequency (how long to wait in between claims)
- Too many ads? Are they annoying? Is there malware?
- Do I have to sign up?
- Extras

Not necessarily in that order but those things are important, and if you want to drive traffic a referral program is a MUST.
The site I created recently I focused heavily on design and user experience. Very few non-obtrusive ads with 200 satoshi every 3 minutes. I made a dice game as well so the users could play dice while waiting between claim. The downside to my site is I require the users to create a username and PW due to the dice game which some users just don't want to do for a faucet. So far things have been going well, just mainly debugging. I find myself re-writing the dice code almost weekly when I notice a bug.

There are a lot of depending factors. If you are making it yourself, you don't have to pay for development.
There's hosting costs and then you get to the payouts vs ad revenue. Most faucets try to find a daily average income from ads vs average payouts to users and set their claim amounts based on that. So some days you profit, some days you lose. Most of it is initial investment and you can do it with less than 1 BTC. It's not like running a dice site where you need a large bank roll.

Alex is ... well... a business man. He creates sensational stories, some true, and some not so much. He has a very wide viewership and sponsors pay A LOT to get their plugs in on his shows. He will say he has a leak that some event will happen (usually about a year in the future), and it keeps viewers coming back for more.

Is there an elite? Yes.
9-11 inside job? Probably, there's a lot of evidence and inconsistencies to point to that.
Fake an alien invasion to enact martial law and oppressive laws? I'd say no, that would create panic. People would stop going to work and the country would make no money. People would revolt if they are treated like a slave. If you want a happy slave, just make them think they are free.

I missed out on the cheap cheap coins yesterday, since I haven't been following the price as frequently as I used to.
It might get lower again, so I'm not in a hurry to buy a grip of coins right now. I think I'll just stick to my monthly buys and maybe I'll get lucky.

Sorry you missed out. I did one last Wednesday too, I think I'll do it again next Wednesday.

I posted a few days ago that these XT nodes are likely "fake" and they will likely drop off in a short time. They are not veteran nodes switching over to XT but newcomers launching XT nodes because it's popular right now. XT supporters launched fake transaction volume to fill the blocks and they launch fake nodes. The real bitcoin will prevail.

Alright happy hour has now ended. Hope some of you were able to pick up some extra coins over the last 60 minutes! See you all next time 

Happy hour starts now!

Not until 5 pm PST or 12 am GMT

Happy Hour has ended

Hey all we will be having happy hour tonight. About 8 hours from now.
Clakms will be doubled during this period! That means average claim will be 400 satoshi every 3 minutes! Then try your luck with our unique dice feature.
See you then! !

I hope that wasn't his "brilliant" plan. He's putting himself out as an outcast. He left core and is now an XT developer. If XT falls apart, he'll be lucky that anyone in the bitcoin space ever trusts him again. Gavin will make a suggestion and the response will be "I don't know Gavin, remember that time you got upset, started your own fork and almost ripped bitcoin in two?".  He'll be the Karpeles of BTC development.
