@Jbreher
I'm dissapointed in you spreading outright lies, obviously I have misjudged you. Dash is a distributed decentralised blockchain secured with proof of work. Just like bitcoin.  

Er... 'masternodes' - just like Bitcoin?

Lol


Whats your point?

Dash is a shitcoin. In fact, it's one of the quintessential shitcoins.

You always wonder why I delete your shill posts. Well, there it is.

Ok!

It is now *obvious* that there's some PRIVILEGED miners who have access to ASIC machinery still unreleased and unannounced, which allows them to mine a bitcoin at a much lower price and thus making them eager to sell in the low 6000s still at a profit.

Good volume means it is a good bottom..

(‿ˠ‿)

The price is crashing because infofront isn't posting enough bottom pix to hold it up. INFO I BLAME YOU!



Local bottom is in

Ok, my version of the story.
If Bart does not make a huge leg up soon, well, bart's dead.

My regular monthly buy come at the beginning of July: I'm tempted to buy now. Roll Eyes

Bart can't die. He's been 12 years old for like 30 years now.

Was looking like $6000 would hold.

Whales pushing hard now, this is going under $6000 in the next hour Sad

Looks like Doug Polk just lost his bet a few minutes ago.    Shocked


Confirmed. Below $6,000 on the 5 largest exchanges. The other ones are soon to follow.

I can't believe how fast this happened (OK, yes I can). We were sitting pretty around $6,700-$6,800 just hours ago.

Well, silver lining, at least I don't have to worry about jello now.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I was kind of looking forward to that  Wink

I just wired some money to Kraken. How long does that usually take, for a domestic wire transfer?
This will be my largest purchase since 2015. Hopefully there's more blood soon.

Bored..so hang on.

Public safety notice. *Please make sure tin foil hat is firmly attached*

Ready Player One?

There is quite the flurry going around the twitterverse today. It has to do with a hash with was produced on June 19th. "00000000000000000021e800c1e8df51b22c1588e5a624bea17e9faa34b2dc4a"

https://www.coindesk.com/21e800-bitcoin-satoshi-mystery-twitter-obsessing/

Quote
Some background: There is a theory in physics that attempts to explain the interactions and dynamics of all forces, including gravity, in the universe with one simple mathematical structure known as the E8. Presented in a paper titled, "An Exceptionally Simple Theory of Everything" by Garrett Lisi in 2007, it still remains unproven.

Couple the unsolved status of the E8 theory with the equally unsolved mystery of the exact identity of the person(s) who brought bitcoin – with its supply cap of 21 million coins – into existence, and you get the hypothesis that "21e800" isn't just some random string of numbers and value. In fact, the theory seems to suggest, it is a "vanity hash" purposefully placed by the creator of bitcoin himself/herself/themselves, Satoshi Nakamoto.

Starting to get goosebumps yet?

This is a deep rabbit hole. The further you dive into it the more challenging the mysteries. What interests me is the dates these "theories" were published..a little over 10 years ago..just before bitcoin was launched.

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/mathematicians-team-up-wi/
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/garrett-lisi-e8-theory/

Latest article on arxiv relating to e8 published this year. Pure goobly gook for most..but it shows the big brains are still working on it.
https://arxiv.org/pdf/1802.09626.pdf

Was something discovered around 2008? Did a mathematician or group of them find a message from the future? Was it the root cause of the global financial "crisis"?

Fast forward to this year..   Quantum block chains and temporal paradoxes..

As discussed below, all the subsystems of this design have already been shown to be experimentally realized. Furthermore, if such a quantum blockchain were to be constructed, we will show that it could be viewed as a quantum networked time machine.

Coupling these together makes for some interesting speculation imho. Is Satoshi from the future? Was he contacted from the future by a benevolent AI to develop an alternative timeline? Is time travel possible? Maybe..

Odd that I made this post just over a week before this was published..  The entanglement deepens..

Deep dive beyond bitcoin and what I think might be the greatest gift of this technology.

   The long term benefits of this technology might be this...for the first time when we look backwards in time, at history if you will. We will have cryptographic proof that the information contained is not tampered with. This is such a simple statement that I hope you all take the time to truly understand the profound impact of what it is that I am insinuating. True wisdom comes with understanding the space that you are observing, by accurately "mapping" a space..you gain more understanding of it. Having a map that stays consistent over time is a game changer on so many levels I have a hard time wrapping my thoughts around it.

This is how conspiracy theories are hatched..through sheer boredom.

 Cool  If nothing else this might be a decent script for a movie. Enjoy the read..ymmv.

I'm going to check into that this weekend. Sounds interesting.

More Bcash double spendings  Shocked

https://doublespend.cash/

jbreher the BCash lover wants to go on and on about how Bitcoin fungibility is somehow "compromised" with SegWit.

But on this BCash compromise (ie. complete failure)? Dead silence. Crickets.

Complete failure? Not at all. For those transactions worth waiting for, you can wait for block inclusion. It is an option that BTC does not give you.

You attempt to suggest that bitcoiners are less empowered because bitcoin does not allow for zero confirmations;
I don't suggest anything of the sort. I suggest that BTC'ers are less empowered because BTC actively weakens the ability to profitably accept zero confirmation transactions.

Well, bcash also has to rely on big blocks, which presents further problems. Due to the increased centralization of big blocks, 0-conf-accepting vendors have to increasingly trust an increasingly centralized mining cabal.

I'll take smaller blocks and lightning over that.

Anyone got experience with the stuff Alex Jones sells?

 My brother tried Super Male Vitality but he said it was making him get angry at work so he stopped taking it.  

That would be expected with something like that. Men are the ones who go out and kill stuff, if it actually makes us think in a more masculine way then yeah he's gonna get pissed at all the girly men at work.

It's hard killing things. I deer hunt, and feel bad every time I shoot one. Another one of man's burdens I guess.

Wild animal is likely one of the most nutritious of foods (bang for the buck), of course there is nutrition in the fat too, especially if they are able to eat their natural foods rather than force fed a purposefully fattening diet (referring to omega 3 versus omega 6 fats - and better fed animals would likely have a higher omega 3 to omega 6 ratio).  

Sometimes, I wonder if men could evolve to be vegetarians rather than omnivores when it seems that there is so much nutrition in meat that is much more bio-available, rather than forcing survival through something like a vegetarian diet that tends to take a bit more maintenance to make sure that you don't kill yourself by pursuing such non-meat eating diet?  Do you tend to eat the whole deer or are their some wasted parts?  Might make you feel somewhat better if you engage in some of those kinds of efficiency practices?

My wife grew up in the Philippines, living partly on wild animals. So, she like to cook everything - lungs, stomach, intestines, kidneys, heart, head, etc. I'm not a picky eater, so I'll eat organ meat too.

I suppose that should make me feel better. There's also a good feeling in bringing a dead animal back to your family. It awakens some primordial hunter/provider feelings.

That's a good sign. Respect for life is a K trait. But you still go and do it.

Thanks. I've noticed you like to categorize people into r or K type. I'm curious as to what the significance is to you.
I'm guessing it's that r-types contribute to the downfall of society, and K types do the opposite?

It's funny that.

Last week we lost a chicken.  What pissed me off is that it took the head off and didn't even eat the rest.  A few days later I get a call at work, the racoon is in my yard in broad daylight.  I rush home steaming...it's on motherfucker.  She's got it chased up a tree.  I don welding gloves, leather jacket, goggles...ladder up against tree...grab a chunk of 5/8" ground rod that was handy.

I get up there and young racoon is looking at me like...WTF is this monkey about?

Anyway, long story, I DID stab him and I DID knock him 30' out of the tree and he had a real bad day...but at the critical moment I failed to focus my energy sufficiently on the killing blow.

It is hard killing things.
It took what is mine.

It WASTED what is mine.

It's just a dumb animal doing what it has to to survive.

Makes perfect sense.

Sounds like a good description of many humans.

What really piss me, is that there is still not sufficient despair around this forum. Even me, I still hope for btc to pump again soon, this is totally different from 2014 lows, when I was crying alone and thinking about cutting my losses. We need more desperation for the new lows to be confirmed and for tge crypto winter end. Please everybody turn bearish now, maybe we can shake the weak hands faster that way, this bleeding is killing my hope...(and this is good for btc price)

No, we need everyone to take longs to be ready to dump on the Bitfinex scammers when they try to scam the price up by fraud as usual.

Lead the way.

normal that its boring we are all looking to the WORLD CUP or not ??   Grin

My mate has two tickets for the final of the World Cup 2018 but he is getting married on that day and cannot attend.

If anyone wants to go instead of him, it's at St Andrews Church in Brighton and the bride’s name is Sarah.

Swim suit pics, or it didn't happen.   Tongue
Wink

OK. I'll take his place in the wedding.
