Well, from a protocol aspect, SV does have more in common with the original Bitcoin protocol than does BTC.

Maybe it was intended to be, so that you can have that exact argument. and the corollary is: Adapt or die. |

Bit worried about the Mayor and Quadrigacx
Oh yeah... hadn't thought about that possible connection. By the way, it is funny that we have not had many members of this thread asserting that they lost money in Quadrigacx. Never even heard of it until the other week. |

I made parmigiana di melanzane for dinner today. It's not pretty enough to take a picture of. However, these arrived:  via Imgflip |

Hmmm what you recommend I try to get my wife to watch? Something like Game of Thrones would be good.
the list of what i recommend for TV watching is endless bro I have PM's with kylapoiss about movies and serie's going back and for all the time but its to much to spam the WO with (i'm a BIG BIG movie/serie's and sh*t collector....) and thats an area where i do have some knowledge about  of-course if not seen.... i will always recommend the big lebowski (even for the GF's)  I've heard 'The Wire' is quite good. And 'The West Wing' But I'm not quite up to date. |

Regarding the patent talk:
Patents don't have to be proven to work, just have to be unique.
CSW could hold a bunch of bullshit patents in techno babble, which patent clerks don't understand, which perform no valuable or even viable function.
Then CSW can sue anyone who infringes on his (bullshit) patent.
Cue years of legal back and forth, where no-one wins, while it's established that what CSW holds a patent for isn't what the counter party is infringing on. Meanwhile, the innovative counter party is left destitute and out of business due to defending their case and no-one gains from the truly ground-breaking technology they developed.
Awesome.

4 genuine (as in not generate by me) relayed transactions on my Lightning Node yesterday  I have now earned the princely sum of 0.2 satoshis! Woah, bunch more, nearly up to a whole satoshi! Just 5000x more and i'll almost have enough to cover the costs of the initial BTC transfers! |

it's much more about the mesh network stuff, keeping the chain size down. the fee market problems are way off
i agree it's early even for that former though
I have yet to see a convincing argument that the current system is broken. It’s all pie in the sky stuff. Lighting will keep the chain size down. Just give it a chance. I don’t think we need to worry too much about this at this point either. I appreciate the forward thinking but believe that we need to allow BTC to mature before we look at doing anything with block sizes which might further jeopardise BTC’s adoption. Give LN a chance to get further established and see where we are at a bit further down the road. Who knows, someone might come up with a better idea than reducing block size to incentivise miners? If miners go out of business due to block reward reduction, then that's down to their poor planning. It's not like the reductions and the timing of them hasn't been clearly laid out 10 years ago. |

^This brief time span in history will be known as the period where women erroneously thought they were more intelligent and more important than men simply because they spent orders of magnitude more time and money on physical appearance, clothes, and putting on makeup. Everything is presentation and no substance.
You're just a little grumpy because you'll never have kids. aren't you? Kids doesn’t come from wrestling the snake............... 'Snake' might be being somewhat overly generous, tho. |

I heard SolidCoin was making a come back too.
Isn't tether just solidcoin with a new name? It matches DeathAndTaxes description of solidcoin.
ScamCoin requires implicit trust in a single semi-anonymous person, it isn't peer to peer and is completely centralized.
Well, yeah. That and about 60 other 'coins' which sprouted up around then. |

Ummm.... Dwolla never left.
washed their hands of crypto though And also, I got a bunch of emails a while ago telling me to remove any funds I might have had on there (not for a loooooong time). So yeah, dead. |

Hahaha anyone stupid enough to fall for Brock Pierce’s bullshit deserves what they get I'm holding out for pirateat40. Got some BTC burning a hole in my pocket for a sound, suspiciously high-return investment. I heard SolidCoin was making a come back too. |

Unless they're also bringing back dwolla, I ain't interested. |

In other news, my Lightning Node relayed it's first transaction! Yay!
That it was my transaction is COMPLETELY beside the point.

Something that bothers me about hyper inflating currencies being exchanged for bitcoin... well yes, great for the person buying bitcoin, but who the hell's on the other side of that exchange? Who's going to sell bitcoin for Bolivar!?
Arbitrage trading is reasonable. Surely still, somewhere down the line, someone ends up with a hyper-inflating currency? Also, would arbitrage handle the volume? |

Yeah I hear similar stories almost every day. One guy from the UK I met last week had invested in Litecoin mining biz. He had some 10-15 Antminers. Had t shut them down and sell as the couldn't afford to pay the electricity bills and with today's LTC prices it wasn't paying off. His wife left him he's in the process of getting a divorce right now because of his financial situation. If this isn't freaking 'blood in the streets" then what is? HODL brethren, HODL till the end!  See now that's just not being very smart and forward thinking at all. Why would you hold on to them when they're unprofitable? I sold my miners a few weeks before they became unprofitable to me. Made some good money on their sale too. I think they probably sold for more then they would have earned over the remaining profitable time. |
