Stick to Litecoin if you run a casino site and you want a backup time in case bitcoin's network gets attacked again by Roger Ver's and Bitmain's spam. Litecoin still does the job way better than Bitcoin Cash, which is pretty much centralized by Bitmain and can't even keep up with the blocks. People have to wait a long long time to get them into exchanges. Bad idea to run Bitcoin Cash in a casino.

I do understand everything about the camp and so on,but what about this WWE thing,since it is a scripted story they could put the belt back to Brock Lesnar and does that mean that he will be chicken out from this fight against Jones Jones  Grin That is the only scenario i am seeing right now,Brock is getting old and he could not match up with Jones skill wise but he defeated Mark Hunt after 5 years of absence .

I don't know how far in advance WWE determines its script.  

I would guess the script was not determined at the time Brock Lesnar made those comments.

Jon Jones is known for doing well in sparring with heavyweights at JacksonWink(Greg Jackson / Mike Wineljon's MMA gym).

Only heavyweights I can think of that train there were Travis Browne, Andrei Arlovski and Anthony Hamilton. Those are good heavyweights but none of them bring the wrestling or athleticism that Brock has.

Jones may have the skills that would make him nbr1 pound for pound but i'm not really that confident if a fight with brock pushes through. If it's a slow bloke of a heavyweight he's going to be fighting, then i'd say jones will make it. But broke has shown he can move unbelievably swift for his size and pretty agile as well. Though i'd watch that fight definitely.

The main selling point is seeing Jon Jones perform as a heavyweight. We don't know how much the extra weight will have an impact on his skill. We all know that he is the most skilled MMA guy ever buy we have yet to see him fight at HW.

Brock Lesnar is huge and is really strong but he lacks the skills to be a top MMA competitor.

Jon Jones needs the fight more than Brock. Pretty sure Brock is way richer than Jones. Being a WWE star means you are rich as hell.

Do Jones goes to HW limit when he is on offseason? I think he is still cool at 206 -220 lbs? I think it will not make any difference with regards to speed and skills IMHO.
Brock Lesnar is huge no question about it but Jones will be the more agile of the two. We haven't seen Jones hit directly at LHW to gauge how strong is he's jaw. Although he was hit with accumulation of punches by Gus before. That makes this fight interesting for me. And will probably fight if the right money is on the table for both sides to start talking.

Jon Bones Jones has Bones as his nickname for a reason. He is a natural lanky ectomorph, he is an skinny guy with a fast metabolism. It's only recently that we have seen him get some weight in, to the point some people accused him of steroids.

He said that he couldn't become a football player due weight problems, so he went into wrestling and then into MMA.

What you have to understand is that 1 satoshi is ridiculously small. If it's worth 1 satoshi, it probably means two things:

1) The supply is really, really big
2) The coin is abandoned, a total shitcoin

You have to look at the value of the coin, what it offers, and you have to look at the total supply to establish if the price is or isn't undervalued.

A coin with a low total max supply may be worth 0.001 or something, but that may be really undervalued and could reach 0.1 in the future and that's a nice x100 gain.

Finding a great coin, with a total supply that is not super inflated that is at 1 satoshi is IMO impossible.
925  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: what is core gonna get up to? on: August 04, 2017, 03:44:55 PM


your missing the whole point.

also you revealed your hand. you think bitcoin is useless.. so its time you go play in fiat land because you dont care or understand it


I didn't reveal anything but the truth. These are the 3 main usages nowadays. And how the fuck is being able to store money and move it across borders in a decentralized manner useless?

That is the basic premise, then you build on top of that, unlike having big block sizes when you don't need to, because again, mempool shows we don't need a blocksize increase in 3 damn months. We already saw the BCash disaster. Hardfork in a planned way or not at all.


1. actually if you check the timing.. the spam events occured when core wanted their bips activated and wanted to scare people into thinking activations are needed to reduce spam
2. actually if you check the code. core have done more to dilute the 'full node' groups to cause more centralisation, down to being a cludge of non full nodes and less actual full nodes
3. even you are trying to promote centralisation. by REKTing diversity

but anyway all you care about is fiat value, so you go play in fiat land. you have missed the subtle points i was making about what core should be concentrating on.. rather then the drama they cause



1. I checked the timming and the price has always crashed when XT, Classic, Unlimited, segwit2x, Bcash camp... etc, made their move. The spam is also obvious Verconomics at work.



2. Nonsense. Conservative blocksize: everyone can run whatever node they want.

3. Nonsense. Conservative blocksize: everyone can run whatever node they want.


I obviously care about the sovereignty of bitcoin, otherwise i wouldn't argue about the blocksize, (and the sovereignty of bitcoin is linked to it's value anyway), as you can see with the price crashes everytime big block camp hits the hardfork drums.
926  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin cash paper wallet on: August 04, 2017, 03:08:54 PM
It's nothing hard to do really. A paper wallet simply have the private key associated with it. Use whatever BitcoinCash wallet you are using, export the private keys from it and copy them into a notepad, then print them and you are fine.

Not so fast. If you copy-pasted your wallet.dat from Bitcoin Core into Bitcoin Cash client, you should move the coins out of there, then do the private key paper wallet (I think).

Just to be sure, you should ask in that big thread that theymos made, you can find it here:

927  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: what is core gonna get up to? on: August 03, 2017, 06:52:40 PM
core need to man up or shut up

1. if they want to cry that others ar forking their code.. then dont cry if there are errors, its just admitting core as errors

There are no errors. There are errors only when amateur coders like everyone involved in BCash and btc1 and Unlimited etc, add their own lines.

2. dont cry that others are forking their code.. accept that any alterations makes it no longer their code.

No one is crying. But you can't hide facts: The real talent is in code. Amateurs are copy-pasting 99.999999999%, adding some lines and fucking shit up.

PS: We don't need 2MB. No one uses BTC beyond speculation, buying drugs, and the most important: Cold storage.

Centralizing the network because Roger Ver spammed the network is a dumb idea.

Let's talk in one year about a blocksize increase, not in 3 months.

Good look to the hard forkers. Once people are allowed to put their BCC in exchanges, you will need it.
928  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bcash (Bitcoin Cash) Speculation Thread on: August 03, 2017, 06:06:00 PM
speculation about Bitcoin Cash is very simple,
DUMP all of your coin when they're enabling deposit or withdrawal process.
and for you who's not yet taking any action about this and don't have it,
just don't buy it right here and now because in a few days many people will dump it and that's the right time for you to buy it and fill your bag.


I would recommend TwSeventh strategy before getting a BCC. Since you may lose if you buy BCC now and not able to sell it high. A lot of investor is waiting until the BCC wallet is up and running then they will dump it and that is the right time to get a BCC.

So can someone confirm if there is a single exchange thus far accepting deposits or withdraws?

What is frozen exactly, BTC and BCC deposits and withdraws are both frozen on all excanges? That's crazy. I guess that's why the price isn't dumping to 5 dollars yet.

So when can we send our BCC and sell?
929  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Mainstream Media: Bitcoin split is good on: August 03, 2017, 04:17:00 PM
https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2017-08-02/bitcoin-s-split-is-good-for-progress

If it was not clear that The Powers That Be are behind every bitcoin hardfork attempt, now they are claiming this is good, of course, because this is the centuries-old technique of "divide and conquer".

Dumb bitcoiners that don't get big blocks are bad buy the cheap-fees-over-everything narrative, a perfect narrative for The Powers That Be to sell into the masses.

Agent Jeff Garzik will be back in november to try to split bitcoin even more. 3 Bitcoins? great, the more bitcoins, the less network effect, the less treat for the Status Quo.

930  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Mayweather Vs McGregor: Info and prediction thread on: August 03, 2017, 02:06:29 PM
both men Floyd Mayweather and Connor Mcgregor are good in each own discipline but the victory depends on which ring will they fight. but this fight favors on the ring of Mayweather's expertise - the boxing ring. There's no doubt that Mayweather would win unanimously and not even a close fight. Mcgregor has no chance to beat Mayweather in the boxing unless otherwise they fight in the octagon.

The only way an mma fighter can defeat a boxer is by putting him to sleep. Connor has power in his punches but floyd's defense is quite at a level unlike any other boxer. He's been against a lot of heavy punchers already yet he hasn't been knocked out. I'm quite curious as to how mcgregors camp would try to do this and if they can do it but unless floyd gets ko'd, its a running and hugging win for money.
I heard people are saying in the past as well that Manny should hit Mayweather hard to win, I guess it will be a hard job for Connor to put Mayweather to sleep because he is an active boxer who knows the right timing to hit and run. I would not deny that I believe Floyd is the smartest man in boxing history although I am not a fan of him but he clearly shows what boxing is.
Expect it from Mayweather since that is his style. Punch then step back and cover. Floyd maybe the smartest man but among those legendary boxer, he is the most boring fighter because of his style.

I'd like Conor to win this fight. His fighting spirit to face Mayweather eventhough he's an MMA fighter, every haters of Floyd love that. I wanted to really see Floyd loss. Hope Conor can beat him.

You have to be on the shoes of Mayweather. He is taking the biggest risk, by putting his entire legacy on the line with this fight. He is now 40+, and he could be retired, but he did this to break the 49-0 record. He can't take too many risks. In a fight people can always get a lucky punch, he must guarantee Conor McGregor doesn't get lucky, so I expect him to be defensive as always. He will throw some good punches on Conor tho... don't forget Mayweather's skill and accuracy is one of the best ever.
931  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Mayweather Vs McGregor: Info and prediction thread on: August 02, 2017, 06:48:40 PM
Mayweather yesterday posted on his Instagram and said that if Conor McGregor wants to fight in 8oz globes, then he will agree and they will fight in 8oz gloves. He also said to not believe what the media said, and that he wants to give the fans what they want to see. I wonder if we will see a fight with 8oz gloves now?

No way Jon Jones is going to fight Brock Lesnar anytime soon. He has 6 more months of USADA supervention, then he has another 6 months at least of training camp. That's 1+ year away. Jon Jones will have to fight someone else before the Jones-Lesnar clash happens. He senses the money, he knows that is a massive deal and he wants to pull a Mayweather-McGregor, but he cannot stay inactive for 1+ year waiting for that.
933  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Can I import the whole blockchain from Bitcoin Core into Bitcoin ABC? on: August 02, 2017, 04:00:59 PM
I would like to use Bitcoin ABC. However I'd like to avoid it that ABC has to download the whole blockchain again. The last time I did this with core it took almost a week.

Can I just import or copy the current chain from a bitcoin core instance which I have running? Note that my core instance has already caught up past Aug. 1st. Would this be a problem?

Thanks!

I think you can. That is what I was planning to do. As long as you running a Bitcoin Core full node, I think any version would do, at the end of the day it's the same blockchain, the format of the files have been always the same, but ideally you want to export it from the most recent Bitcoin Core version.

Just copy paste the block files on Bitcoin ABC client, when you open it, you will have to validate the entire chain, but without having to download it. I still didn't try but im afraid it will be insanely slow on my computer, you will need a strong CPU to validate in a reasoanble amount of time.

I couldn't find my ledger nano until about 20 min ago and 90% of my holdings were in altcoins... Is there anything I can do?

I assume not, but figured if I was going to ask, I'd ask here



The coins you had on your ledger will be on the BCC chain, so you have these coins. You will have every BTC you have in the BCC chain assuming you control the private keys.

Obviously the altcoins have nothing to do with any of this. Also why are you keeping 90% on alts? that is insane unless you don't have that much money and you are taking big risks.
935  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What as they don't find a block above 1mb this week? on: August 01, 2017, 05:01:31 PM
What's next? Any idea's about it?
Any timeframe for that?
Just wondering

As far as I know (and please someone correct me if im wrong) there is no timeline threshold or some sort of limit that says "if >1MB block is not found in X time, then cancel the whole thing".

So I guess it's going to be on some sort of "stand by" until >1MB block is found. In any case, this does not look good for the hardforker camp, it's basically the definition of Dead on Arrival. The more time that goes by without no activity, the harder to gain any traction.
936  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bitmain Cash was stillborn. (ITS DEAD!) on: August 01, 2017, 03:15:33 PM
People are saying there's a DDoS attack happening on BCC with thousands of bad acting nodes spinning up on AWS in the

last hour. Can anyone acknowledge that this is the case? This is definitely not going to be a solution to stop BCC from gaining

momentum. If people want to use it, let them do that.... The market will decide what they want. No need for this.. if it is true.

I was just reading about this on "the other reddit":

https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/6qw73e/my_abc_full_node_client_just_crashed/

Looks like a similar situation with Bitcoin Unlimited nodes. Maybe there's some kind of exploit in the code? Anyway these losers are already blaming "Core/Blockstream" for their incompetence. It seems they still don't get that this is the standard in open source code development: you have to assume you are going to get attacked.

Hardforkers are the epitome of pathetic.

It was amazing to see that Fernando Alonso got the fastest lap last week, it shows that he is still the best racer right now, but has an unlucky car.

I hope next year he is in a competitive team. It's not a real tournament if you have the best racer in a car that is terribly bad. I want to see Alonso in Mercedes or Ferrari again.
938  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / How high will BTC go before big blockers crash the price again with the 2x crap? on: July 31, 2017, 09:56:02 PM
Now that the Bitcoin Cash scam is going to happen, we'll get that weight off our shoulders. It will be a non event, because no one wants to hardfork into this nonsense.

Once segwit goes live in mid august, the price will start a great uptrend, that will last until the hardforking drums come back, to, as always, kill the uptrend.

How high will the price go until dumb big blockers crash the price again because they cry like babies about some "promise" to get the unneeded, rushed hardfork into inferior code developed by Jeff Garzik, the blockchain analyst? I say by about september the propaganda machine will start pushing segwit2x and the downtrend will begin all across october and november. And ONCE again, big blockers will ruin the price. Until then, let's enjoy another ATH.
939  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling with altcoins on: July 31, 2017, 05:43:27 PM
I don't gamble much, so I voted for that, but I have done some gambling with Litecoin in the past, when Bitcoin was being spammed by Roger Ver and the big blockers, I was not able to make successful small amount of coin transactions into the casino deposit wallet, so on that time I didnt have any other options but to go with the best altcoin out there, and that's Litecoin. It's fast, a clone of BTC, easy to use. Some casinos support it.

I recommend all casinos in cryptoworld to get Litecoin running because it's the perfect coin during spam attacks on the BTC network.
940  Economy / Economics / Re: Implications of SEC announcements re ICO. on: July 31, 2017, 05:00:55 PM
https://www.coindesk.com/legal-experts-warn-of-coming-crackdown-on-token-exchanges/

Basically, no one can't prevents ICO's from happening, i.e. sending Bitcoins and getting altcoins in exchange directly from ICO runners. But what regulators can do is to crackdown on exchanges that list ICO tokens, since they are effectively violating new laws that say that tokens are now securities and must be regulated. Storing coins on exchange was always a bad idea, but now it seems even worse.
This also brings a new question - what will regulators do to decentralized exchanges that can't be taken down so easily?

They can't do nothing about it. They are just going to try to get the US based ICOs, which means, everyone hosting ICOs that are doing under US jurisdiction will go to another country and run their ICOs (possibly scams) on other countries, then the US will have a hard time doing anything about it, unless they of course pretend to keep running the world just like they are demonstrating with the BTC-E incident.
