the VICTIM gets a Kraken account, not the thief
Oh, yeah, lol. |

But.... There are regulated exchanges that do have Monero, ie: KRAKEN.
But wouldn't Kraken require identity verification, thus nullifying Monero's anonymity benefits? |

you guys want an all time high?
I'm thinking of taking one for the team here

Thailand is cheap, is not FUCKING COLD and has some of the best food in the world. Also, bargirls.
Besides the obvious, I'm very curious to see if I can make enough money trading bitcoin with the locals to pay for the stay. If so, why would I not live in a high quality hotel in a great country instead of a far more expensive apartment in a frozen wasteland?
Maybe you'll run into Bruce... http://onlyonetv.wikia.com/wiki/Bruce_Wagner |

At least one major flaw... "Prior to the fork they could not leave. Now they have to be begged and persuaded to stay." There are lots of SHA-256 blockchains that miners can up and leave for at any time. There are even pools that auto-switch between profitable chains. |

I've heard the SEC is going to approve Bitcoin cash ETF this year.
I've heard that the Monero ETF will be right behind it. You each get a facepalm.  |

There's a bit of a wall at 2909 on Bitstamp.

Move your bitcoins to another wallet first
Easier said than done. |

I'll dump the rest when I get through the hassle of moving my coins, installing a BCC wallet, importing my old private key and moving the BCC to an exchange.
I'm too afraid of putting my private keys at risk to touch BCH. |

Then it occurred to me the external hd where I have the blockchain is a very old 640gb Samsung, with a usb 2.0 port. And it occurred to me I would never be able to run a bitcoin node again, if it were to increase block size, since 2mb would be only the beginning of a long centralization process.
Even 5 years from now, with 2MB blocks, you'd still fit the blockchain on that old hard drive. I don't think Bitcoin should be limited by what runs on 15 year old hardware. |

dumping bitcoin for silver (while silver is at the floor) is the best move you can make in the long run right now.
Sure, you might get 2x out of silver. I see 10x out of Bitcoin as far more likely, even without a scaling solution, just with the block reward halvings to come. |

My best guess is that, in 10 years, bitcoin might be around it's absolute peak of 30K
I would be fine with that in 10 years, but I don't see why the peak would be so soon. There's no reason for it to stop growing so soon. |

Therefore come to our main question, in the current state, is 1 confirmation enough to protect and prevent double spend?
You need to assign a probability to the question. 1 confirmation is not a 100% absolute guarantee that a double spend won't happen. |

You guys do realize that the total crypto market hit a high of $116B, and now with even this mega pump we are only back up $92B? Not even back to over $100B, nor do I see that happening within 6 months.
Crypto "market cap" means absolutely nothing. |

20. There is no sin and no hell
I did not expect to hear you say this. |

Must be a showman or maybe he confused 5000 with 500.000  He thinks the real target is 3 million using some special math analysis, so 500k is conservative in his mind. |

I wonder how many people from here have paid 10-50 BTC for an ounce or more. A fair few. I would melt it down in a rage.
I bought 2 silver coins for 60 BTC (which cost $120). Fortunately, they also have bitcoin attached to them, so I'm quite happy with them. |

New Picture :  I am OK with this. The Lambo that cost over 200 btc now costs less than 100 btc. We've got a ways to go before it gets down to 1 btc. |

Absolute nonsense. The hardware used on Steam is an overestimation for the hardware used for nodes. In other words, the situation would actually be worse than what is claimed by this paper.
You may be right, you may be wrong, I'm just asking for actual evidence of running nodes. The paper presented no evidence about the hardware nodes are running on. What's your evidence? |
