Slap fight in 3...
His head is gonna pop.  i wasn't watching, but at these comments, tuned in. what a clusterfuck of idiocy. please tell me neither of those arguing are actually important devs or something? because if so, and i mean this with all seriousness, we're more fucked then the US government under trump. Nope. They're nobodies.  oh thank god. ...i say as i take the word of a... husk of corn... *shifty eyes* |

it would be interesting if someone could do some maths to see about how much money it would take to pump bitcoin to 32,000$
32,000$ implies a market cap of ~488,160,000,000$
but obviously it wouldn't require 400Billion to pump it that high.
no way to know what kind of bid walls would go up along the way, seems impossible to predict as a result. would be one hell of a show, though. |

heh. i'd be fine with 400 million.
heck, 400,000...
400? ...yea, i'd take it.

someone remind me why p2pool hasn't been built into core as a BIP yet? i know, hard fork. but, really. why not? this assumes a reliably working implementation, of course. i know it's struggled in the past.
Agreed with the sentiment , but these are complex and difficult problems to solve....Keep in mind that many ideas and solutions have been discussed for 5-6 years but finding the right balance and doing the appropriate testing takes time. ZKCPs is a really old concept that just recently been demonstrated for the first time within Bitcoin today. as someone who considered helping test bitcoin core at one point, that is strongly understood... |

One large disadvantage for a solominer is variance... especially if you are less than petahashes, and those mines are not hidden.
We are working on making p2pool better. someone remind me why p2pool hasn't been built into core as a BIP yet? i know, hard fork. but, really. why not? this assumes a reliably working implementation, of course. i know it's struggled in the past. |

nice little launch this evening.
think it'll hold past monday?
i'll bet my entire btc supply that it won't!
(that's 5,242 WHOLE satoshi's!)
wtf you have no more coins? O_o? why why why would you have no more coins? sold most around $100 due to unemployment. since 2008, i've only had a job last more then 6 months twice. last gig was going well, but got laid off dec. 9, day after my birthday... it's been a rough patch. got married in sept 2015 though, which is nice. oh i c. well congratulations, hope you get back to work soon, best wishes. as for your "this price increase won't stick" comment i'd disagree short of a full on war breaking out ( >51% >33% hashing power switching to classic = full on war going on ) i don't see wtf is going to kill price, so much FUD the past few days and price was flat. what's it going to take to kill price??? WAR, thats what. make no mistake, i have no logical reason to think it'll drop. just seems so stuck here, ya know? |

The large man with numbers after his name got me thinking more about decentralization and nodes.
All we need to protect ourselves from this cataclysmic event [drop in full nodes] is to have some slightly above average dedicated Bitcoin nutters. A quick look at the WO thread tells me we're safe for now.
BitUsher is clearly one. (No offence.) How many nutters are enough? Srs question.
full node here. i got a terabyte of space and a 60 mb connection. *shrug* why not. |

I have spent hours catching up on this thread. Bypassed the posts from JJG and AM.
The only reason btc is going up is because I found out yesterday (Tues) that I am getting a payment in btc tomorrow (Thurs) that is of an exact amount of USD. So btc going up means I will receive less btc. Then the btc price will go down. Never fails. Never mind all the other reasons you can come up with for the price movements. Price when I found out I was getting paid, 420 and price now 435. Will post the price when I receive the btc. I know you are all waiting with baited breath.
but, it's friday. |

Core Power Rangers have been given an ultimatum It's not about votes granted by breathing... it's about votes granted by quadrillions of hashes...  You honestly expect Honey Badger to respond to ultimatums (ie threats)? If X gives a shit about ultimatums and threats, X is not Honey Badger. As for the [impressively large number of] hashes, their function is to act as well-paid security guards, not executives. If the security guards start demanding a vote in the boardroom they protect, the board will simply fire and replace them with new rent-a-cops. There is nothing indispensable about sha256, and if the centralized miner tail tries to wag the distributed socioeconomic majority dog we will simply change to another PoW. Are you really that stupid? You think you can take our chain, render the entire mining industry incompatible and everyone will just dogpile onto your fork with microhash security? *snip* like i said, "simply." i am honestly shocked this has taken this long to work out. the original intent was crystal clear. unfortunately that wasn't implemented and now will be rather painful to do so. but the status quo is untenable, and we all know it. the time to fix this is long past, it seems to me. shame we can't agree HOW to fix it... |
