Payments for this week are rolling out in a bit.

Bang on, Twisted is currently not actively following the crypto market due to other occupations and thus can't update the thread.
I'm actively invested in all currencies, so if sufficient demand exists, I could contine providing weekly/monthly data and charts.

Post counts have been done, payments will be rolling out shortly.

You're mixing up two very different things here, gamblingbad.
One thing is me calling something you said (a message, one sentence) racist. That is what happened. You made a statement which I consider to be racist.
A whole different thing would be me calling you (as a person) a racist. I do not think you are a racist and I wouldn't call you one. Frankly, I don't even know you good enough to call you anything.
If you mistook me calling that message racist as me calling you racist, I'm sorry. That wasn't my intention.
People can say things that are racist without automatically being a racist. Sometimes people say racist things without having any bad intentions.
That's not limited to you, btw. I catch myself in these situations from time to time, and regret what I've said shortly after.

Personal opinion.
Hands down, I get an instant deboner whenever I hear german pron dialogue.

You'd need to find ways to classify what the "best automobile" is.
After that, maybe you could conduct a study, which is obviously going to be biased in regards of your previously selected classification.

But...are you comparing human beings with cars right now?

I'm feeling we should stop the off-topic discussion here.
If you want to start a thread in Politics & Society about the topic racism, I'm willing to answer any questions you might have.

Scientific racism

"The term scientific racism is generally used pejoratively as applied to more modern theories, as in The Bell Curve (1994).
Critics argue that such works postulate racist conclusions unsupported by available evidence such as a connection between race and intelligence."

That's wrong, sorry.
"Racism is the belief in the superiority of one race over another"

Nobody claimed that.

To bring this thread back to some important discussion:

Earlier today (or yesterday, depending), BTG announced the launch of their mainnet.
By the looks of it, things are going to start on November 12th, at 19UTC.
Distributions from CG should be available shortly after, you can expect more details in an upcoming update to the contingency plan.

A few key factors:
- They've managed to implement 2 way replay protection via Sighash
- The address format was changed to G/A prefixes.

360 minutes are not 3 hours, but I'll leave you to figure that out on your own.

It's Lutpin. You might wanna write that down somewhere.
What we were having is called a discussion. A common thing to occur in a chatroom.

It's still Lutpin.

No, there is no multiplayer poker as of now, there's videopoker which has similar rules, but works a bit different.

It might have been meant as a humoristic post.
"You're a fucking pussy" for insulting other people.
I can see the irony in that, and it actually made me giggle a little bit.

Spelling, son. Spelling.

*you're

Actually, I'm none.

Wanna point out where the insult exactly is?

And he now knows that segwit transactions are smaller than non-segwit transactions.

<TheRedBaron> I kind of knew that segwit and LN existed, and I know what LN is, but segwit was a bit unclear
<TheRedBaron> True Lutpin, true

There's no forum rule about anything like this.
In fact, there's almost no forum rule about anything in regards to signature campaigns.
Most rules have formed over the years and are community enforced, not forum enforced.

Everyone's free to speak their opinion. That includes aTriz.

This is a weekly, fixed campaign, meaning the decision about enrollments will be made on Saturday.

You left out an important part of the rule.

How so?

Let's take a look, currently the following pools have stopped signaling for 2x:
ViaBTC (11%), 58Coin (7.5%), F2P (8.75%), Kano (1%), Slush (7%), combining for 35.25% of the global hashrate.
With Bitmain (or rather Jihan) being cosigner of the initial email, we can expect another ~18% to be added soon (Antpool),
bringing to total to 53.25%, meaning 2x has less than 50% mining support/signaling at that point.

I do admit I might have exaggerated there a tiny little bit.
Between you and me, I'm pretty excited about Lightning and the possibilities it will bring.

Yet I do know that most clients have hardly reached beta status right now, and it can take a decent while before anything is ready for release, even then, LN won't have its full impact rigth from the beginning.
On the other hand, the eclair testnet version seemed very promising when I had tested it a while back.

There's been two updates to improve the overall user experience with bitcoin withdrawals.

First: Withdrawal fees are now based on 500 byte transaction size instead of 1000 byte transaction size, meaning effectively a 50% cut in costs for users compared to the previous system.
This goes in line with current average transaction sizes (reference: https://tradeblock.com/bitcoin/historical/1d-f-tsize_per_avg-01101), which range between 450 and 600 byte.
As a result, fees charged by the site should much better represent fees paid for transactions.

Second: The blogpost was updated with a better explanation of how the withdrawal fees a user pays and the transaction fees the site pays are corelated.
This should help to avoid any misunderstandings about how much fees a user is charged. You can take a look at it here: http://blog.crypto-games.net/2017/02/withdrawals-q.html

Example: I was charged 0.0005 BTC fees for my withdrawal, but the bitcoin transaction sent used a lower fee, why does this happen?
The withdrawal fee charged to a user issuing a withdrawal is the fee for a transaction with the size of 500 bytes (which is the current median transaction size according to tradeblock), in this exemplary case, 0.0005 BTC. The actual transaction sent uses a per kB fee that’s twice the size of your charged withdrawal fee (in this example, 0.0005 BTC are charged, and 0.001 BTC per kB are used). However, if the transaction is smaller than the average, the total fee will be lower accordingly. Likewise, if the transaction is bigger than the average, the total fee will be higher accordingly. In either case, the fee charged to the user will be the same, 0.0005 BTC, as it’s not possible to estimate the size a withdrawal transaction will have before the withdrawal is requested. In any way, the fee you are being charged is always the fee that is shown on the slider (“withdrawal fee”), where you select the fees, and the amount you receive is always the amount shown in the withdrawal popup (“Withdrawal amount after fees”).

Unchanged, but notably mentions:

The withdrawal fee charged to a user was always and will always be the one shown above the slider ("withdrawal fee"), whatever you set the slider to will be what you will pay for your withdrawal.
In no case will a user be charged more than what they set the slider on.

The amount sent in a withdrawal was always and will always be the one shown on the bottom right of the withdrawal window ("withdrawal amount after fees").
In no case will a user receive less than what they are shown in this area.


Let me know if you have any further questions about the way withdrawals and fees are handled.

quoted for reference.

For god's sake, stop assuming what I will say or claiming I did say things that I did not.

I think this section in the blog post is badly worded, however without any malicious intent.
It's not meant to be confusing, but maybe you can misunderstand it due to that.
I've proposed an update for this specific part to make it more clearly and better understandable for users.

I didn't call them stupid, do not put words in my mouth.
Also, please learn how to spell my name, if you have to address me.

Think I've taken my time to explain certain aspects, haven't I?

I'd rather wait for a stable release than compiling from a mid-development commit.
It's likely to be included in the next stable version, so you can expect base32 support shortly after.

BIP173 base32/bech32 is still very new and not commonly used yet, AFAIK the only wallet currently able to send Coins to base32/bech32 addresses is Electrum itself.
If base32/bech32 happens to become the standard for segwit addresses (which imo is likely, opposing to current p2sh), or even just becomes commonly used besides p2sh,
it's going to be integrated and you'll be able to withdraw to a base32/bech32 address.

As to when this option will be available, I can't really make a prediction yet.
