501  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What would you do if it became reversible like paypal? on: October 02, 2015, 09:24:10 PM
I would sell it all before it crashes. Also I laughed at "satoshi dealing with the disputes". This makes no sense. The point of Bitcoin is that it doesn't rely on a central authority to operate. Therefore such thing would be the end of Bitcoin, just like it would be the end if nodes became centralized with XT and so on.
502  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Recent upsurge in BIP101 blocks! on: October 02, 2015, 09:19:25 PM
There you go, another one of those threads! And we really haven't had one in a while!

Anyways, I thought Bitcoin XT is dead, what is this upsurge now about all of the sudden? Smiley

The thing is, XT will never die unless Core scales properly.

XT = death of Bitcoin because nodes become centralized.
Therefore Core will need to scale with blockstream, it's our only hope. Yes, it sucks that we cannot have a global blockchain with massive transaction volume including micropayments within the chain but nothing is perfect, so we'll need blockstream or something like that, it's better than having centralized nodes, we already got centralized mining so we don't want that.
503  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hearn Banned from #Bitcoin-dev on: October 02, 2015, 09:15:14 PM
Im no 8mber let alone 20mber but im still not convinced over blockstream to be honest. So all transactions that don't go through the blockchain will go throught a private company that is basically paypal 2.0? what's the point then? isn't this centralization again? how does this work like, there will be servers of blockstream that process payments? I don't fully understand the mechanism.
504  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin in 2100 of year on: October 02, 2015, 08:58:49 PM
Surely in 2100 bitcoin will be gone but as for now bitcoin will be
Rising to the top and slowly going down but before that bitcoin will leave
a legacy as a free currency.

I don't see how it will "surely" be gone in 100 years. We have never seen something like this before so its very hard to speculate with, but if older currencies have lasted for centuries, a digital currency that can get improved and updated over time will surely last more than 100 years.
505  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: OpenBazaar - decentralized eBay on: October 02, 2015, 08:57:10 PM
Finally something I have been waiting for, OpenBazaar is pretty much a decentralized ebay based on DarkMarket which is a P2P trading platform.

It sounds really good, but in reality it will not work :/. I hope im wrong, i really am. It would be huge for bitcoin, but i don't see it for many reasons.

I'm pretty sure a decentralized marketplace with no fees and no restrictions will work big time. Hopefully you will at least give it a try  Smiley

I don't get it, so OpenBazaar will get no fees? Then where does the guy that runs the business get any profit from? from advertisement somehow? There must be a way in which they are making profit to bother enough to develop this thing imo.
506  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: What would happen if suddenly a revolutionary mining technology was found? on: October 02, 2015, 08:55:34 PM
That's not going to happen, so it's not really worth worrying about. If something that made SHA256 easily hashed appeared then a lot of stuff would be jeopardized because it would mean brute force attacks would be possible (it would need to be this powerful to disturb bitcoin mining market in a meaningful way).

coinut is exchanger based on bitcoin not altcoin so that's why I ignored most of your post

BTW , where is the rules that you will ignore altcoin post?

510  Economy / Economics / Re: What happens to the price of gold if 300 tons are dumped on the market? on: September 27, 2015, 02:34:37 PM
The supply of gold is way bigger than a lot of suspected to be, so this means 2 things:
1) The impact on gold's price will not be that much of a catastrophe
2) Bitcoin is waaaay more scarce than Gold, there fore is hundreds of times more valuable than it (considering it's better money in every single aspect to boot).
511  Economy / Economics / Re: Minimum wage. on: September 27, 2015, 01:40:22 PM
This is what happened when we have income disparity where there is a wide gap between the rich and poor. And no thanks also to the inflation when practically the purchasing power for the wages that we earned every month is getting lesser and lesser. Introduction of minimum is just a desperate short-term solution that doesn't address or solve anything other than delaying the evitable. The far bigger problem on the economic collapse is still there.

Right now in a lot of countries, a lot of young people is stuck on their father's basements because they can't leave due minimum wage being extremely precarious, and what can you do if you can get a better job? exactly that, nothing. Just work and stay living your parents until they die and you get the house for yourself. It's a very sad situation. Without a good wage you just can't a full adult because it's impossible to pay for a place for yourself + expenses.
512  Other / Off-topic / Re: Will you quit your day job to go full time on bitcoin? on: September 27, 2015, 01:34:58 PM
Not inspired by the btc millionaires, i just want to be able to breath again once and a while and stop slaving around to pay taxes and what not here in this overly taxed monkey cuntry.

well, i'm selfimployed, so quiting isn't an option in my country, instead i merged the 2
besides my private btc thingies, me and my buisness are accepting btc as payment, not sure about dogecoin or any other coin tough..
so since the start of august i had already 9 clients that payed me in btc next to all my other clients and i'm happy with it Smiley
the btc i earn with it, i plan to invest in passive income to lighten up my workload

in belgium working in the private sector it's so easy to get on wellfare, even if you just worked for 1 day in your whole carrier.
as a selfemployed person, it's like almost impossible to go on wellfare, it's like the day you start being your own boss you excluded yourself from all rights. altough a boss pays everything for his employers, we got to pay it all ourselfs, it's disgusting.
Not that i want to go on welfare, just explaining how it can be between the 2 status when interacting with btc.  

i wonder about you all in other countries, just curious, that's all, since btc is a global thing Smiley



edit: i forgot a piece in my explanation grr..

Well you are still going to be in problems if you buy something considerable with BTC. What are you going to invest into to get passive income?
You can't get real state with BTC because they will wonder where the hell the money came from, so they will ask and you will need to get the Bitcoins taxed. Just like untaxed cash you can only do small purchases over time otherwise you'll raise alarms.
513  Economy / Economics / Re: Spain : if Catalonia choose independance, what currency will they use ? on: September 27, 2015, 01:17:51 PM
Not sure how this works but from what i've researched they will be out of the Euro, so expect very thought times if they leave. So they will be left with basically no currency for a while, no one knows how much time it will take to be re-accepted into the Euro. It's a really weird situation. As far as I know they haven't said anything about what currency they will use if they are out of the Euro. They are probably too ignorant to know what Bitcoin is and even if they weren't im not sure it would deal with all the transactions without blockstream/bigger block size.
514  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: You can get ~ the same BTC transfer time with standart fee 0.0001 BTC on: September 27, 2015, 01:09:42 PM
BTC transfer time with 0.0001 BTC fee is 58 minutes, but with 0.0002 BTC 42 minutes, so it is not necessary to pay more, if you can get practically the same transfer time with standart fee 0.0001 BTC. What you think ?  Huh

You got something terribly mixed up here mate! When everything is normal in the network(no stress tests, etc) your transaction should confirm in the same time with both fees, 0.0001 and 0.0002. You must be talking about block times and number of confirmations with those 42 and 58 minutes! When will block be found and how long it will take for this has nothing to do with how much you paid to send your transaction.

There should be a way to calculate how much the transaction is going to take given X parameters such as current difficulty and network load + your fee, because it seems like a gamble. Sometimes it goes faster and sometimes it's almost the same as standard fee.
515  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Now & After 6 years , what the worst case scenario ? on: September 27, 2015, 01:00:15 PM
I guess my worst case scenario would be, if a competing technology comes from the financial industry, that solve all of the troubles Bitcoins is struggling with now and the

incentive to use Bitcoin decline. This is not unrealistic, because they already started development of their own "Private" Blockchain technologies. At this stage Bitcoin is

still in front when it comes to innovation, but they stole the idea, and they have loads of our money to fund proper development.  Angry

There's nothing under the sun that would solve the fundamental Bitcoin problems (that cannot be solved within the Bitcoin technological framework).
The main problems of Bitcoin are basically technological progress one. Namely, technology is not advanced enough to run worldwide transactions on-chain.
516  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: dot.bitcoin or dot.btc TLD on: September 27, 2015, 12:55:31 PM
.BTC is the most aesthetically pleasing option by far because it complies with the 3 letter standard. I don't get why a lot of people are using .io specifically, they are so expensive so register even more than .com. I hope .btc doesn't become incredibly expensive for some reason and we see tons of .btc sites in the future.
517  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What's next for Gavin?? on: September 27, 2015, 12:53:27 PM
Gavin should probably take a vacation after the XT incident and reevaluate the situation. He should drop Mike and work on his own to improve Bitcoin in form of BIPs and not trying to hard fork it. If a BIP is good and tons of people want it it will get accepted eventually, we don't need hard forks.
518  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Naughty America CEO: Millenials Want to Pay in Bitcoin on: September 27, 2015, 12:51:07 PM
Looks like they just want people's money. They don't seem to understand the technology as you currently have to pay more if you pay with bitcoin (instead of less!). I can't be too excited about this yet.

Well as a business speaking you can bet they want your money, everyone wants your money, but it's specially annoying when they don't understand the tech properly. Anyway I agree that the millenials want to pay in Bitcoin specially porn related stuff which is more anonymous.

I already enrolled but it was full, trying again.
Also, it says nothing about Politics being ignored, so it's not fair. It should say it clearly in the OP what is being ignored, and what constitutes a good post or doesn't because this is a such grey area that some campaign hosts like to exploit to discount posts arbitrarily and pay less to people.
