What is the token price on public sale? and where can I find the public sale status? (the number of tokens sold out, fund collected...)
Thanks in advance!
You cannot because there was no ICO/Public Sale. People just started mining with an instamine protection for the first blocks.
By the way instamine is when there are very few miners at the beginning and they instantly mine a lot of blocks in low diff until more people start coming.

I'd say XDNA had a very fair start. The devs are actually being paid with 1% from each block.

Actually, there was an sale of coins for Masternodes in the beginning. However, it only resulted in a few sales because the coin became available on Cryptobridge rather quickly, and was cheaper to get the coins required, there.

In all fairness, anyone with a background in common law will understand that no one wants to be take ownership of being Satoshi Nakamoto.


Indeed.

However, one cannot simply continue to pretend to be someone or something, especially when that very thing allows you to prove otherwise.

This is about cryptography. Financial cryptography at that. Sign and Verify.

I decided I should do this myself recently, it was really hard for me to do, not in practice (that's the really easy bit), but emotionally difficult.

Verifying my (old) zero balance wallet address for blockchain research etc.,
- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4630066.0

Ask yourselves - Why can't CSW login to this forum as Satoshi Nakamoto or just simply sign and verify somewhere? If a three letter agency has his keys or he requires a multi-party signing to do this then he needs to explain this. This is not a joke.

Like me, Craig was clearly around during Bitcoin's inception (even earlier on than myself and many others on this forum) - However, I have no knowledge of him mining. I do know that Dave Kleiman was mining.

If he is Satoshi, it would be best for BTC and BCH that he not verify. That would give him undue influence on how things turn out. Bitcoin is supposed to be based on Nakamoto consensus, which is basically proof of work. Nakamoto consensus should not be proof of who is Satoshi Nakamoto.
Also, Theymos locked the satoshi account. Theymos would need undeniable proof to allow anyone to sign in. This is good, since Bitcointalk was hacked back in 2015, and I believe the e-mails and passwords were compromised along with much more personal data.

I am therefore announcing Cobra Client, a safe and reliable implementation of the scheduled November hard fork. The hard fork implemented by Cobra Client will make no consensus changes or add any new features as it’s clear there is not enough consensus on issues around the new OP CODES and Canonical Transaction Ordering. Instead, Cobra Client will implement replay protection to prevent Bitcoin Cash transactions being replayed across alternative chains. This means users will be unaffected by the forked chains and drama of Bitcoin Cash ABC (BCA) and Bitcoin Cash nChain/Coingeek (BCN) chains and respective tokens.

So they will be 3 BCH ?
Bitcoin Cobra, Bitcoin SV & Bitcoin Cash ?

*popcorns*

There is another one called Bitcoin Stash coming out too. https://bstash.org/ Not too many details at this time, though.

Oh please. This is not going to be very convenient. CSW claims that his side has the most hash by a comfortable margin. However, I wouldn't minimize exactly what Bitmain is capable of when it comes to hash. (I'm not considering Cobra's fork since his fork implements replay protection, so it will be a clean break.)

I got a ups online notification of $182 for import duties for z9 mini.  UPS shipped to california from HongKong.  This upsets me.  Is there anyway to dispute these outragious charges.

Unfortunately, the tariffs are enacted by the Trump administration. UPS isn't going to go against the government at this time. Just hope that in the future, the USA and China can come to some type of agreement.

Does anyone know if your coins are safe in electron wallet in the event of HF/chain split or whatever may happen?

Since you have the keys, your coins will be safe. I just would not move your coins around November 15th until it is clear exactly what is going to happen. If a split does occur, and one side takes measures to protect their minority chain, you may miss out on free minority chain coins.

His calculations for a 56k modem is in bytes when it should be in bits.



OMG it should be "Noob Craig S Wright", not "Dr. Craig S Wright". Too bad I can't troll his tweets anymore as he has blocked me from following him. Roll Eyes

Isn't it possible to create more than one account on Twitter?  Cheesy

What benefit of doubt? The guy has demonstrated countless of times how full of shit he is.

I am fully expecting the day when we can see the thousands of patents he says he has been maniacally submitting during the past few months. Spoiler: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lQ_MjU4QHw

Well, he had Gavin Andresen fooled for a hot minute. I was just liking the flack he's been giving Jihan Wu, lately. I'm hoping Samson Mow is correct, and Bitmain is facing all kinds of trouble. Can't wait for that whale to be thoroughly harpooned by this bear market.

Craig claims Base58 was used by FlickR in 2007 in this tweet after being asked if he invented it.

He states that again here.

It explains the format Flikr introduced in 2007 on their servers...

However this blog post from 2009 contradicts that by saying flickr recently introduced its short URL service which makes use of base58.

Recently, Flickr introduced its short URL service for all photos (and videos) hosted on Flickr. All photos and videos have a corresponding flic.kr URL associated with them, in the format of flic.kr/p/xxxxxx (the last part is the base-58 encoding of the photo-id)




If flickr was using base58 on its servers in 2007 it should show up in short links in the source code of pages archived back then, but it doesn't.

The image on this page was archived in 2007, then again in 2009.

http://www.flickr.com:80/photos/pmorgan/32606683/

A shortened link to it containing base58 doesn't show in the December 2007 snapshot of it, but does in the 2009 snapshot. Search the source code of these two snapshots for flic.kr/p/ yourself. It only appears in the 2009 snapshot.

https://web.archive.org/web/20071011015832/http://www.flickr.com:80/photos/pmorgan/32606683/

https://web.archive.org/web/20090929075056/http://www.flickr.com:80/photos/pmorgan/32606683/

I wonder if flickr would confirm it copied base58 from bitcoin and didn't invent the format itself.[/size]

HDD capacities grow according to moors law. If u move 6000x speed of light and record the precise state of universe at each moment in time during the whole travel then the amount of data collected could be shoved into a 50 gb HDD no questions asked. Now what is 2.6 million tx per second? I myself can do half of that and will still be bottlenecked by the lack of processing speed.

I would hope a mining pool that has a revenue of 50K USD per day should be able to have a system that can handle it. (And as I said before, I think 100 USD per BCH would be an ultraconservative figure if the BCH network was processing that many tx per second. An 18-21 billion dollar market cap for a network that is basically processing the vast majority of transactions on Earth, would probably be going for multiples of that.)

Any news as to why the price jumped today? Was not expecting price to bypass $6740 so strongly.

Anyone know what the shorts vs longs are now? Did many of the shorts decide to cut their losses and bail, or have their stops hit? I'm not certain if this was enough to cause a liquidation on the margin markets that are spot.

The proposed 128MB block size update tops out ~896 transactions per second.
Which if all of the blocks were full would require 6 TB of hard drive space per year.

Even a 1 GB block would only achieve ~7168 transactions per second,
Which if all of the 1 GB blocks were full would require ~53 TB of hard drive space per year.

Exactly what Block Size is supposed to achieve the above 2,600,000 transactions per second?

Or are they also modifying the block speed?


FYI:
For the record, I am also not Satoshi, but I did stay at a holiday inn express last night.  Cheesy

The chart in the link states 2,600,000 tx per seconds would require 360GB blocks. That's ~19 PB per year if all of the blocks were full. If a transaction fee of 1 sat per byte was obtained, the block would yield 3600 BCH in fees. If BCH was only worth $100 USD, that would be 360K USD per block. If a pool only had 10 % of the hash rate and charged a 1% fee, that would be ~50K per day in fees. That would be $18,250,000 per year. That should be enough to cover the cost of 19 PB of storage, and other costs.

 a lots of require blocks. BCH will not  $100 and BCH price will hit $1000 ,

 today BTC price $6900 and  keep going up , i sure when btc price break $10000 , bch price break $800, too.

If BCH was actually handling over 2 million tx per second, it would probably be worth much much more. However, I deliberately used ultraconservative figures. I personally doubt BCH will ever see that kind of transaction volume. But I guess BCH supporters can dream.

If they were the number one threat, then why ally with them to attack Poland?  Then go on to attack Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, France and bomb the crap out of England? Millions of people killed, most not Jewish. Whatever.  Roll Eyes

you took his bait dude....

Sorry, I just tend to believe my grandmother, (god rest her soul), who actually got to live under the Third Reich, rather than what some troll gleaned from the Daily Stormer. When the allies rolled into Frankfurt, it was a sense of relief rather than fear. She even went on to marry an American soldier, like many young German ladies did.

I believe my grandma, who was born in 1930 and got to live under this guy's rule. It was great when he first took power; great for the economy. However, by 1945, most German people were over it. Very stupid on his part to invade the Soviet Union. The winter is a bitch.

Hitler's a genius.
