Sure you can. Just ask your BCash is Bitcoin friends  = higher fees Actually, it is to be expected that an empty block is mined if it comes within a minute of the last block. The pools cannot grind to a halt when their node is verifying the transactions of the last block. The verification of all the transactions in the previous block needs to be completed before a pool can start including transactions.(They need to basically remove the included transactions from their mempool.) |

You guys dont understand one Think.. Bitcoin its the base of the price If he fails ALL coins Will fail. Maybe you can Get bch to 16k and btc to 2k but If you are investing in any other coin Will be worthless!! Dont sell btc to bch.. put New money in and buy bchz otherwise you are killing your self, more then helpping  That is nonsense. If Bitcoin fails it does not mean at all that all coins will fail. Where did you get that from? Dude Check any coin, the base its BTC allways .. the price of ALL coins are connected with btc.. Just for example imagem that 1 BTC its worth 1000$ and this coin X Its worth 1 BTC that also equals to 1000$, If Btc drops 50% and then its worth 500$, the other coin that Its worth 1 BTC It Will drop the price as well to 500$.. I dont know If you Get It.. but its all connected.. NOPE. The alts have recently decoupled from BTC - look at coinmarketcap any day this week. BTC floating or down all week, every single alt up 20% or more! Oh, except LTC is floating too. Kind of makes you wonder if the /r/Bitcoin Kore troll army is as smart as they think they are... Sheep are easily led to slaughter... Here we talk about hard facts and technology, not pre-censored hype and hysteria. BCH kicked ass in the past month - it exploded in a manner similar to Bitcoin in 2014 with massive press, merchant adoption, software releases, and technical superiority. If you can't see that, I don't know what to tell you. I don't think you want to compare BCH with how BTC was back in 2014. After MtGox, BTC experienced quite the bear market for the rest of 2014 and much of 2015. However, fortunately for BCH, the markets are a bit more decentralized than what Bitcoin was back in early 2014. |

Ok time to start fighting back.
I fucking love creating red candles in Alts in the BTC/Alt pairs. I enjoy it a little too much.
Unfortunately, I don't have many alts right now to dump at all. Just dust here and there. I also did not have any BTC on Coinbase/GDAX during the BCH fork. So no free BCH to dump for me. |

Don't be shocked if Coinbase adds Ripple next. If that doesn't show their true colors, I don't know what will.
I presume Coinbase's ultimate aim is to be bought out by Goldman Sachs et al. They are not anyone's friend and don't have anything's best interest at heart other than their own value. No one should be shocked by this, but I am slightly surprised at the blatantness of this particular move taking place during blockchain spamming, difficulty readjustment, all time high in attention and super high fees. Coinbase merely added Bitcoin Cash as fast as they could...stop acting like there's a conspiracy behind the time of the release. Originally they said Jan 1st, 2018 so I'm glad they are ahead of schedule. It appears the BCH markets on GDAX are not functioning properly, anyway. Hope no one is dumb enough to think that a great arb opportunity cropped up.  |

BULLSHIT!
Going on over 2 weeks and still my .025 is in limbo, sent in tickets and posted on facebook. Still nothing!
I requested the withdraw over 3 weeks ago.. took over a week just to get it into the blockchain and been there ever since.

Bullshit indeed. Can you imagine the people with several BTC dealing with this shit? That's a lot of money to have in limbo like this. If Bitmain actually transmitted the transaction to the network, and you control the private key that you sent to, you can always do a child pays for parent transaction. You basically send the unconfirmed transaction in your wallet to another address, and pay like double the going fee. Quite pricey for us minnows, but if you have several BTC, it may be worth it. |

Wow, if the fee market keeps going up like it has been, it may actually be worth it to go digging in the closet for my old Rockminer 110 GH.  Slush pool shares the fees with the miners, right? |

guys, I asked before but there was no feedback. I found a company https://nuvoo.io/ located in Canada. Their contracts are odd ! I don't know if this is scam or not ! it is number one in www.cryptocompare.comfor example it has life-time contracts like Hashnest but for a Gold plan you pay 2100$ for 6325 GH/s and has a profit calculator that shows a 480$ per month ! what do you think ?! I looked at their FAQ and this makes me think they are a scam. We do not publish a list of the pools we use. Our main criteria for identifying a good pool are: reliability, pricing structure and rejection rate.
Our internal policy is: “to be a good crypto-citizen”. This means that we will use at least two different groups (in some cases we use up to four) for each corner. This is to preserve the decentralized nature of cryptographic networks! If we realize that a pool is getting closer to 50%, we will move away from it and use a backup instead.
If they cannot be transparent about their hash, I wouldn't trust them at all. |

WHat is worse... DDOS'ing them out of the network would probably create an ugly netsplit/fork potentially catastrophic to Bitcoin reputation. In fact it would sorta force the same result as a 51% attack (them being the longest chain after rejoin) without them being the bad guys.
What the hell, they could just fake being DDOS'ed and carry on with the (covert) attack. OTH, that could severely harm crypto confidence so much that they would also lose much of their investment.
It's the same reason that stops them trying to steal segwit "anyone_can_spend" funds... if sucessfull they would end up with a fork worth next to nothing.
In the end, money works keeping miners from being dishonest... or at least up to some limits of dishonesty.
What we need are some competitors in the asics scene. I have always wondered why the BIG guys like Winklevi, SIlbert and many others haven't invested in that line of business to support their current investment. There must be reasons, though.
Well DragonMint may end up being worthy competion. Jiihan Wu,(or one of his friends,) set up a parody site to malign it and BTC at the same time, soon after their announcement. https://tulipmining.com/ |

I think it may be time for some retaliation attacks against Wu and Antpool who have demonstrably become malicious miners, attacking the bitcoin network. They are withholding blocks, spamming the network to drive up fees and being a general nuisance to the point that if they were excluded from the mining network it would do more good than harm to bitcoin. They are doing everything in their power to subvert the network, without performing the 51% attack which they may actually be capable of. https://tradeblock.com/bitcoin/In short, someone needs to fuck these guys over seriously. It's well past time. Let's hope, projects like DragonMint can outcompete them. Unfortunately, any efforts to DDOS them or orphan their blocks would probably quickly be mitigated by them. |

Why I am sort of kicking myself is that it already occurred to me a month ago with my ISP e-mail that I use for everything is a single point of failure. I had already used Thunderbird on my local computer to download my e-mail and then went to my ISP and deleted all the e-mail. I did this so if someone got access, they couldn't just view my inbox and gather what other sights they can now reset my password with. Naturally, I don't do this everyday; however, so stuff still accumulates in the inbox.I'm still debating whether or not it is worth it to now create upteen different e-mails and assign them to my upteen different accounts. What a hassle.  |

Someone, early this morning, while I was sleeping, hacked into my main e-mail account. They then proceeded to change the password on my Gmail account, which tipped me off, by sending me a text. After I changed the password back on my main e-mail account, it had an e-mail with a code to change the password on my Facebook account too. I then learned that they changed the passwords on my Coinbase, my Bittrex and My Poloniex account. Fortunately, I have 2fa activated on all of them, so they didn't get shit. I guess the lesson learned is that I should use a different e-mail for each and every one of my online accounts. What a fucking pain in the ass.  How did they change your password on coinbase, bittrex and poloniex if you have 2FA enabled? Or you have it only for withdrawls? ANyways, good to hear it didn't have bigger consequences. You can reset the password without doing the 2fa. They just need the e-mail that you use. Just not get into the account afterword. I lost some bitcoins in February due to e-mail hacking and phone porting, and funny that hackers may not know how many coins that you have, and from rumors, here, bones, you have claimed to be pretty poor in your bitcoin holdings - yet hackers do not necessarily know that. So there are a few ways that we can become vulnerable, and the hackers are considering different ways to enter into accounts that have lesser levels of security... needless to say that I had taken several measures to improve my security, and I had some further attempts, but so far, none of the hacking attempts had been successful after February.. and I am not ruling out techniques that could be employed by hackers to break into account, so security continues to be an evolving question and something that we want to keep abreast of, and even while life happens, we do not want to create so much security or to end up losing our own access to our account that might not even had been caused by a hacker. Locking myself out makes me more paranoid than hackers to be honest. Locking myself out used to be a concern of mine too. So I would never do the 2FA. What turned me off to 2FA was way back in the Paycoin scam. I was using Authy and somehow, GAW let something expire so I couldn't get the Authy to work to access their page to collect my meager 5 XPY. I eventually did figure out how to get it to work with Google Authenticator. After that, I never bothered. However, this year, as my meager holdings gained more value, I began to start using the 2FA again. My holdings may not be worth much, but it would be rather difficult to shrug off a theft of them. Even .005 BTC would smart. |

I need some help guys, On December 7th, I sent .015 btc to a circle wallet from my hashnest wallet. It is still unconfirmed. I tried to re-broadcast and still unconfirmed. What happens if the network drops it? Will I lose my btc? This really sucks. HEre is the txid: 3a4a6a7bb9e038969fa9b34c2cd3387c78840bc6c160985bf4a542625233db89
I appreciate any advice.
If the BTC mempools end up dropping it, you will probably have to contact Hashnest support to try and get them to credit back your account. Edit: Bitmain may not be willing to do this, however. There is never a guarantee that every single node is going to drop your transaction from their mempools. It doesn't matter how much time has passed. As long as at least one node still retains your transaction, there is a chance that it could still get confirmed. Also, I researched this today, and there is an option to do a child pays for parent transaction. It would involved sending the unconfirmed input in your wallet. However, since you are using Circle, you have no control over their hot wallet. Therefore, this method will not work. |

If a 1MB block takes 30 seconds to verify and validate, with the current code, wouldn't a 1GB block take 50 minutes to verify? Or is it not linear like that? I don't know, 1 block with transactions in it followed by 5 empty blocks seems inefficient. However, it appears the BCH team is working on this bottleneck, so why are we debating about my original concerns? The concern is no longer valid.
With Current Cable Bandwidth of 100 Mbits , 1 MB block can be transmitted in less than 1 second 100Mbits/8 = 12.5 megabytes per second Even 8 MB blocks are nothing at modern internet speeds.
Correction: Original Node Verification was squared after every time interval , The Correct Verification is a Doubling with every increase in time interval 1 second= 2 Nodes Verified 2 second= 4 Nodes Verified 3 second= 8 Nodes Verified 4 second= 16 Nodes Verified 5 second= 32 Nodes Verified 6 second= 64 Nodes Verified 7 second=128 Nodes Verified 8 second=256 Nodes Verified 9 second=512 Nodes Verified 10 second=1024 Nodes Verified 11 second=2048 Nodes Verified 12 second=4096 Nodes Verified 13 second=8192 Nodes Verified 14 second=16384 Nodes Verified 15 second=32728 Nodes Verified 16 second=65456 Nodes Verified 17 second=130912 Nodes Verified *Neither Bitcoin has over 20000 Full Nodes at the present time*Once the normal is 1 Gbps 1 Gbps/8 = 125 megabytes per second Once the normal is 10 Gbps 10 Gbps/8 = 1.25 gigabytes per second (This can easily support 1 Gigabyte Blocks and some providers are running at this speed today.)
(Within 17 seconds the 1 Gigabyte block could propagate through ~130912 Nodes.)Once the normal is 100 Gbs 100 Gbs/8 =12.5 Gigabytes per second ╥Aztek The current bottleneck has nothing to do with the bandwidth of the internet connection. The current bottleneck has to do with the way the present BCH software, (and all other coins that derive from the BTC codebase) handles the mempool. In order for a miner to start including new transactions, they have to verify and validate the transactions in the most recently mined block. During this process, the miner's software must verify which transactions in the current mempool have already been included in a block, and those transactions are removed from the mempool. That way they don't include them in the current block they are mining, and end up mining an invalid block with duplicated transactions. However, it appears the BCH coding team, specifically nChain, is working on removing this bottleneck. |

I guess the lesson learned is that I should use a different e-mail for each and every one of my online accounts. What a fucking pain in the ass. I think the lesson learned is that you should have used 2FA on your Gmail account. And how did they manage to hack your Gmail anyway? Were you using a weak password? Or leaked it somewhere? Always use 2FA everywhere you can, and use a different, random password for each site (with the help of a password manager perhaps). And never write down or disclose your passwords to anyone (not even your parents, spouse, children, etc.). Not meaning to offend you, but I've found that in most cases it's the user's lack of good security practices that's at fault. Well, at least they didn't cause any serious damage. I really don't use the g-mail account. It was the main e-mail account through my ISP that they got into and were resetting my passwords. MY ISP e-mail doesn't have 2FA. I do use an different password randomly generated by a password manager for each site. I guess the weak link is the main ISP e-mail account that I use. Edit: The ISP does have 2FA that I activated but it's weak. Only does it when it detects a new device and will only send code through text and e-mail. No Google Authenticator. |

looking back at the last 10 days we can clearly see the bubble popping and the first good attempt at catching the resulting knife.
you can see that when the bubble popped at ~266$ their was a big dip in price without much volume ( everyone let the knife fall )
but now at 80-50$ rang we are seeing HUGE volume spikes when their is any kind of movement up or down.
I think if we are not already at bottom, its not too far down...
What currency are you talking in? 266? 80-50? Wait... 266...why do I feel like that's a familiar number? I'm confused as well?  A 65-80% drop would put us in the 4k to 7k range. 18k would be nowhere near the bottom. |
