however i do take exception to the "A hole" that had an issue with you cashing in some CON so you can keep this going obviously there are some DM's who are only interested in lining their own pockets to them i say F off go play with another coin!!

OK, I'll dump all my CON if that's what you're asking me to do.  But then, since my CON wallet is bigger than the entire market at c-cex, I don't think yours will be worth much if I dump all of mine.



Quote
my suggestion is that everyone that is staking  take the next 2 hour of staking profit and send it to the guy who is making this happen  put your coins were your interest is make an effort !! DONATE

I already donated 53,000 CON to the dev, which was worth .3BTC.  How much have you donated?

This is good for babies to play with, because it holds their attention for a short time with its wild movements.  And it's worthless, so it doesn't matter when it eventually breaks.  But then again, it's not exactly safe.

Wow was like you had been saving that a life time even though the coin has only been out 30days lol



I was going to say XPY, but then I thought 10K would be funnier

Are there still only 7 females on this site? I find that hard to believe, seems so high.

Who told you there are woman here ? Undecided

There's no women on the internet, everybody knows that

945  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why was 21 million coins chose as the total number of bitcoins? on: March 03, 2015, 07:04:32 PM
In a slightly earlier version of Satoshi's code (pre-genesis) the limit was 20 million bitcoins.  Blocks were set to arrive every 15 minutes with an initial subsidy of 100 BTC set to halve every 100`000 blocks (about 2 years and 10 months).

Certainly there was some thought put into the magnitude of the limit.  While Satoshi had 63-bits of space to play with (using signed 64-bit integers at the time) it seems possible that he intentionally confined bitcoin amounts to well within 53-bits so that amounts could be handled comfortably by the IEEE 754 binary64 datatype (potentially useful for JSON-RPC).

What we can be reasonably sure of is that the particular figure of 21 million arose simply as part of some last-minute tweaking and carries no deeper meaning.


Sounds reasonable to me

Awesome!  That means the more coins we get for the same amount of work, the less each coin is worth!
947  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why was 21 million coins chose as the total number of bitcoins? on: March 03, 2015, 05:09:33 PM
So instead of 21 million, he ended up deciding to multiply that number of units by 100 million.  That's kind of different.

And if you follow the links, there is even more commentary on the limit of 21 million bitcoins -


Quote
A 32bit signed integer can represent numbers from −2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647

if you wanted to do accounting for modern currencies with pure integers due to denomination factor of 100 (1$ = 100 cents)
then the obvious choice is to work in cents
Code:

       1 -> 1 cent
     100 -> 1 $

in such a system the most you can represent is slight above 21 million $
Code:

   from  −21,474,836.48 $      to       21,474,836.47 $

Note that left of side of the dot there are 8 digit/decimal places (21 xxx xxx).
Lets assume 1BTC worth(represents) 1 $.
To make it symmetric the dynamic logarithmic range has to be [ 10E-8 , 10E8 ]
This range permits exponential growth or decay for 2*8 orders of magnitude!



As for this:


I'll try not to be such an asshole in the future, but for some reason my patience always seems to run out when I'm dealing with you.



Yeah it's just me, and also the entire ignore list you're sharing so that everyone else can also ignore the people you ignore.

I think asking this kind of questions is like asking “Why did you wear green clothes today?”. Yes, there was a decision to be made, but not a very deep one, to be honest.

Except you're wrong, as shown by the above quote regarding the decisions that went into determining the supply of bitcoins.
949  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why was 21 million coins chose as the total number of bitcoins? on: March 03, 2015, 04:50:35 PM
21 million was the intended number, it isn't "derived" in the sense that it's an arbitrary number.  It was coded intentionally to produce 21 million.

Really?

Did you have a conversation with Mr. Nakamoto whereby he explained this to you?


No, Hal Finney and Ray Dillenger did.


Quote
Ray Dillenger recalls:

I remember this discussion, actually.

Finney, Satoshi, and I discussed how divisible a Bitcoin ought to be.  Satoshi had already more or less decided on a 50-coin per block payout with halving every so often to add up to a 21M coin supply.  Finney made the point that people should never need any currency division smaller than a US penny, and then somebody (I forget who) consulted some oracle somewhere like maybe Wikipedia and figured out what the entire world’s M1 money supply at that time was.

We debated for a while about which measure of money Bitcoin most closely approximated; but M2, M3, and so on are all for debt-based currencies, so I agreed with Finney that M1 was probably the best measure.

21Million, times 10^8 subdivisions, meant that even if the whole word’s money supply were replaced by the 21 million bitcoins the smallest unit (we weren’t calling them Satoshis yet)  would still be worth a bit less than a penny, so no matter what happened — even if the entire economy of planet earth were measured in Bitcoin — it would never inconvenience people by being too large a unit for convenience.

Danny Hamilton, you're not smart enough or important enough to back up how much of an asshole you are.  Maybe take it down a few notches, especially when you're wrong and making a fool of yourself.

Only thing that's hardcoded is:

1. the initial 50 BTC per block
2. reward halving every 210000 blocks

Just these two factors implicitly determine the 21M limit (or actually: 20999999.9769 BTC).

Yes, but WHY?

The block reward doesn't continue to halve forever.  It stops, instead of going to .5, .25, .12, .06, .03, etc.

The correct answer is that Bitcoin was designed to have enough divisible units (Satoshis) to replace the entire money supply of the world.  Obviously it was a rough estimate, but the intent was that 21 million * 100 million Satoshis = enough units to replace all fiat money.

You're telling me no males have attempted to marry rich women? Men don't try to pressure girls into sex in their teens starting women's journey into sex?


You must have accidentally left out the part about how you believe it's women's fault for letting it happen.

Come on, give yourself some credit.  You instantly changed the price from 600 to 200 without anyone's help.

That's not a very good excuse.  "Well the only reason I don't make any sense is because I thought I was talking to someone else."  Everyone's name is attached to every post.

But even if I was the OP, you would still be contradicting yourself and making no sense.


Yes, women don't pressure boys

women can't put pressure on men

no one can make him feel pressure

you have to believe in pressure

Please try not to sound like an idiot.  The OP was muddyheights2, I am runpaint.

If you believe women pressure men, you have to believe in pressure, and therefore should understand both sexes could be accused of pressuring each other.


I'M the one who just explained that to YOU.

You've already proven that you can't read and you don't know which person you're talking to, but at least you could be aware of your own words before you argue against them.


Men don't try to pressure girls into sex in their teens starting women's journey into sex?

Women don't pressure boys in their teens to work like slaves and spend all their money on women, starting a man's lifelong journey of thankless labor, crippling stress, and deadly occupational hazards?

Yes, women don't pressure boys

women can't put pressure on men

no one can make him feel pressure

So if there's no such thing as pressuring anyone, why did you say men pressure girls?

If you believe women pressure men, you have to believe in pressure, and therefore should understand both sexes could be accused of pressuring each other.


Very good!  You were able to learn the lesson I gave you and then repeat it back to me.  

Unfortunately, you pretended to think of it yourself, and then you tried to lecture me about it when I'm the one who just forced you to admit it.

But if you really understand what I have explained to you, then what is your purpose on this thread?  Your entire point was that woman are unable to pressure men, and now you say the opposite.

That is a real possibility if heaters and all those other products are networked.  Even after I said technology is always advancing, my imagination was still limited to laptops because those already have wi-fi.

We need to keep those buy orders coming in, if it's too low then if people need to sell then they can't without dropping the market.

As if to prove you right, someone just dumped

Why don't we merge mine 10 different coins instead of just 2?  That would allow us to earn 5 times as many different kinds of coins. 
960  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Pointing your own miner towards your own TX ? on: March 02, 2015, 11:52:41 PM
The hard part is pointing your miner to the next block.  If you can find the next block, you should be able to make your transaction more likely to be in the block.

Or you could just pay a higher fee
