Bitfinex Bitstamp Just testing. Does look better. I agree. Side by side looks better and takes up less vertical space so less scrolling required

Am I seeing a huge influx of new accounts dedicated to trolling fud or is this just more of the same from this site?
More of the same unfortunately. Every time there is a significant price movement (usually on the downward movements) there is an influx of noob trolls. It has got me wondering if there is a limit to the number of users you can have on your ignore list...

Shut up scum. Bitstamp was not hacked.
Posting untrustworthy references from reddshit.
Given that the front page of Bitstamp's web site states that "one of Bitstamp’s operational wallets was compromised on January 4th, 2015." it isn't hard to assume some sort of hack was involved, surely.

Ok, I give in. I have to let Lambie, the ripple guy, shroomie and a couple of others go. I don't have time to go through all this drivel.
Not to mention the benefits to your mental health. Let the healing begin Thank you. With that logo/avatar you're like a Kiwi-zen master. Well like you, I don't have time to wade through endless pages of drivel trying to catch up each day. And I hate stress in my life

It seems safe to assume Tor is broken now. erm did I miss something? I second this question. The article merely explains how the paper explains how bitcoin nodes can be pushed from tor and forced to connect through clearnet by triggering DOS protection against the tor gateway IPs. Doesn't imply tor is broken at all. btw: there's still a simple way to hide your IP when making a transaction: Hide in the mass of people using the same electrum (or obelisk, or ...) server. Yes, you have to trust the server operator to not store your IP or to not give it out. If you can't bring yourself to do that, just run your own server and get other to use it. And isn't it possible to mask a wallets IP, by having one wallet with open connections and a second hidden wallet that only connects to the open wallet using connect=<ip> in the conf file? The first wallet is used to supply the up-to-date block chain to the hidden wallet, which will only connect to one specific IP (the IP of the open wallet) making the hidden wallet completely invisible to all other wallets apart from the one it's configured to connect to. This is clever. You will end up with two copies of the blockchain but I guess storage is cheap. But isn't the transaction untlmately broadcast from the same ip?

Ripple is definitely the future of money. Internet of value is Ripple. Bitcoin is its ancestor.
Can't you work out a deal with your sponsor, so that you get paid the same if each month you put out 1 totally non-informative post with 100 lines, instead of 100 one-line posts? would it be enough for you to see the reality ? It would have about the same effect as 100 posts that just say "ripple is great", except it would be much less of a nuisance. In fact, wonder whether you even know what ripple is. I asked a simple factual question a while ago, and it went without answer. Most Bitcoiners here really have no clue about Ripple. You can read it in how they tend to attack it: 'it's a scamcoin' (first of all, define what a scam is, then tell me if Ripple actually is a scamcoin? You will fail, given how long it has been in existence, given that the founders are bound to lock up agreements and simply because Ripple Labs is a business that has hired a lot of people by now). It is also easily noticable how emotional some of them get when something else than Bitcoin, so not specifically Ripple, is being talked about here. Because Bitcoin MUST succeed, and it WILL get to the moon. That is what they promises to themselves, and it must come true otherwise a lot of people here will be in financial ruin. They all like to babble about the great 'fundamentals' behind Bitcoin, but I know for sure that at least 80 percent of the people responding here is in it for the money. The naive idealists will stay behind in the long grind downwards, ultimately holding the bag. There may well be some good arguments to be had over the pros and cons of ripple. Unfortunately the Wall Observer BTC/USD thread is not the place for it as this is for discussion of Bitcoin. Trolling the thread with ripple comments is going to annoy people and result in getting yourself on ignore lists. I had actually unignored Walsoraj until he became a ripple troll. As for mah87, he obviously has nothing of value to add to the thread. I don't know why these guys don't take their thoughts over to the Alternate Cryptocurrency thread which was created for that very purpose
