..............

Westin.  Landon.  Cox.

Is Landon Cox a new age version of Bart Simpson calling Moe's bar and asking for Ben Dover?

Troll account?

 Huh

if you listen to what Szabo says, you'll realise you are not correct to characterise him as a small blocker.

That's a good point.

His name is "Landon Cox".  Its possible he's just trolling.

If you look on the letstalkbitcoin.com episode page there is almost 9,000 views already.

Proving most bitcoin afictionados are illiterates who read headlines but never look at the fine print?

 Huh

Discussion about block sizes is like people arguing over Y2K or IPv4 vs IPv6.

Its not rocket science.  Potential for dire consequences are vastly exaggerated.  And the majority of those talking about it don't know enough about basic crypto currency fundamentals to understand its not an important topic due to bitcoin's framework being designed from the ground up to be scalable and extensible if necessary.

Might as well argue over what color the sky is, it makes about as much sense.

Nick Szabo was interviewed for Let's Talk Bitcoin Ep. 246 (released yesterday). At the end they discussed the block size debate and the Bitcoin XT fork. Here's a short video with excerpts where he talked about the Bitcoin XT fork:

Youtube clip only has 39 views?!

I guess only 39 people use bitcoin these days.   Cheesy

I'm getting quite sick of the power that is given to the miners in these cases... Shouldn't we be one big family? They should not be the only ones to make deciscions, because it will always be in their interest...

If miners simply did what was in their own best interests, they would opt for bitcoin-XT.  They would make more money using XT than they do using core due to XT having higher transaction fees.  The fact that miners disavow XT despite the fact that their profits will shrink via them doing so, illustrates the fact that XT has major problems and issues that overshadow any potential gains.  

So no.  Miners don't simply think about themselves when making these decisions.  If they did they would opt for XT and the larger transaction profits they would gain using it.

For those not in the know, Bram Cohem is one of the best (if not the best) network architects and engineers on planet earth.  When people discuss Bitcoin-XT and topics like lightning networks and block sizes--issues relating to network software engineering, they're essentially entering Bram Cohen's world.  Its entertaining and ironic that people can claim they know about as much about lightning networks and block sizes than someone who just happens to be one of the best at implementing, designing and analyzing those algorithmic based solutions in the whole wide world.

"Yeah, brah.  Bram Cohen.  He doesn't know more about this bitcoin-XT networking stuff than the average poster on reddit."
"Who the hell does this Bram Cohen guy think he is!?  He doesn't know shit about lightning networks!  Certainly no more than the average reddit poster!"

 Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

What would the wagering requirements look like for a deposit of say 1 btc?

You can buy Virtual Credit card through Bitcoins, some people already selling on digital goods market.

Is it legit / does anyone have experience with it?

I've read many reviews where people claimed entropay and other virtual credit card providers were scams.

I listed it mostly as a *last resort / desperation* option.

Prepaid or paysafe card would be preferred.

Hello, I have a question.

I can still see the boxing page at: http://www.bitcoinsports.eu/sportsbook/boxing

But the link to the page was removed from the menu.

Is it still valid & can bets still be placed on those events?

Most people want to pay the lowest fees, have their cash as fast as possible, and have the most options in terms of where they can have their funds transferred.

  • lowest fees
  • fast transfer
  • most options

What is the best method of achieving the above?

 Grin

If all three cannot be accomplished simultaneously.

Which are the best methods in terms of lowest fees and most cashout options?

The boxing was removed?

Was wondering on that.

The page is still up:
