I'm happy with Bitcoin as it is. And if something is hard to change that usually means the change is not justified.
Yeah but the 1MB limit was always going to be a temporary measure from the start. You knew that. So you not happy with Bitcoin the way it is then are you? This also begs the question why you stayed involved in bitcoin for years when you knew eventually the limit would be removed as the original plan which you didn't like? |

So why are you here posting… and watching and reading/being involved with the bitcoin space?
Because the fact that if he had done a little more buying and a little less talking years ago, he would be a lot more wealthier. He knows that and we know that, it's ripping him apart inside. He wants it to fail, it's the only way his pain can stop. |

Look! ISIS can (and/or will) use Bitcoin to facilitate terrorism!
Look! ISIS can (and/or will) use a suitcase of dollars to facilitate terrorism!
Look! ISIS can (and/or will) use Litecoin to facilitate terrorism!
Look! ISIS can (and/or will) use Darkcoin to facilitate terrorism!
Look! ISIS can (and/or will) use Doge to facilitate terrorism!
Look! ISIS can (and/or will) use PGP/GPG to facilitate terrorism!
etc..etc..etc
It's the digital age, gentlemen. If a terrorist can use YouTube he can use a digital wallet. Why blame it on the Bitcoin?
That's what I think also. They use computers, cars, socks, etc. Are we going to throw out our socks now? Let's not forget they also breath air which is keeping them alive. Let's ban air. |

I've always believed the current 1MB cap was temporary anyway, so I'm fine with increasing it.
If I had a problem with it increasing, I would of walked away from bitcoin years ago.

If anyone should have become an overnight millionaire it should have been me.
Still can't get over this comment. Is this what some youngsters today truly believe? That somehow they've got inside their head that world owes them something? |

This forum is indeed very pathetic. I assume not many of you here are seasoned traders. This is purely an amateur hour, I left this shyte coin in the dust months ago and went back to equities and forex. This instrument will continue in a downtrend, this behavior is all too familiar. Getting coins at sub 200 was a nice move yes... whoever locked it in god job. At this point I would suggest only profiting from temporary volatility be it in upward or downward momentum. It will never reach its previous point of 800+...As of now it seems to be still moving in a strong downward momentum. It might break out to lets see 260 level then possibly 280 before another drop. People who bought their coins at 400 or 600.. and were 'hodling'. Well, I suggest you get better jobs my friends.
Why you need to start a new account to tell us that? Why not use your real account? |

I am getting much more behind ZFS RAID. It is very impressive. It is software RAID run by the OS. This is no longer a bad thing. The CPU and OS has hundreds of times more processing and RAM than RAID cards. There is a journal written that can be replayed upon power loss and commits are made to the disk in a way that data will never be corrupted. Everything on the disks is self-healing with error-correction checksummed. The OS can talk directly to the drives and their SMART status to understand drive state. You can run RAID on standard SATA controllers, and when your motherboard burns up, mount the drives in any other motherboard and on any other controller. You don't need to have hot-spares and lengthy rebuilds, you can have RAIDZ3 - three extra drives of parity - so it would take three drive failures to take out your disk array.
Then mirror the whole machine automatically with High-Availibility storage (HAST) and CARP in BSD. Backups are now just for when the whole place burns to the ground.
With an operation like BitcoinTalk, or any other well-funded operation, this might be doable. But can the little guy (gal) afford this for their home computer? What exists for the little people?  If something was mission critical, it wouldn't be running on a home computer in the first place. The whole internet is important to me. My home computer is important to me. Without my home computer, I wouldn't be able to access the Internet as easily. I use my home computer for other things. I empathize with people in their love/hate relationships with their own computers. Yet mine is mission critical to me. Backup software. Plenty about. |

Good work getting site back up.
I still prefer the old magnetic drives. I know they are slower, but they don't have all this cell wear problem. Also extra precautions need to be taken with SSDs if using as an encrypted drive, such as not using the TRIM command.

The very next day I walked into my garage and accidentally stepped onto a rake which flew up and hit me in the head and was knocked out cold and remained in a coma for 5 years.
Was the rake damaged? That's the main thing. |

I thought Windows XP was obsolete. Is it still safe to connect one of those machines to the internet?
What makes you think that newer versions of Windows are safer? Bit of a strawman reply here. I never mentioned anything about newer versions of Windows being safer. |
