Why cant it break the $400 finally?

do you have any doubt that it will?

Problem is when everyone thinks that it'll go up they start going full retard on leveraged longs as evidenced on finex. When longs go full retard you gonna have a bad time

yes shorts and longs were one thing I did not look at when I bought earlier today. Tongue

I only have a short time each day to buy or sell.

anyway my response wasn't that helpful as I was talking about eventually and the OP was talking about the present.

Nice wall action on finex :-) 2k bid vs 500ask

I closed my long in it seconds before it was pulled. Cheesy

I looked at too few things before acting and believe you may be correct.  Even though my time frequency is probably a bit longer than yours.

Now you know how long it was possible Smiley

I don't think it's either practical nor feasible nor even desirable to use Bitcoin in the day to day dabble of pizzas, phone credits, hairspray and sneakers. People try to, because of the misguided belief that Bitcoin value is somehow related to or deriving from its crossection in the retail market. This happens to be completely untrue : you can't buy any pizza with SDRs, and yet that doesn't somehow make SDRs worthless. The belief itself may be a case of "everything appears a nail to the man holding a hammer", in the sense that people who have never interracted with any other aspect of economy besides the supermarket counter may genuinely imagine that's what economy is. Still, that makes no difference.
"Interraction" with the economy... like exchanging shares of blogs and gambling sites with other titans?


Peer to Peer Electronic Cash System
vs
Peer to Peer Electronic Wealth Storage System

I think we've distilled it down. I also think it can be both, but the former facilitates the latter.


I'm not even sure if you're trolling or actually stupid... maybe just shortsighted.

There's a time for everything. While Bitcoin is doing the thing called price discovery any attempt to compare it to cash in terms of velocity and ease of exchange is positively retarded and shows an absolute lack of economic aptitude.

"buttt bbbbbuttt buttt Satoshi told me I could send it all over the world NOW"

Oh well.. if spending bitcoins makes you "warm and fuzzy" inside go right ahead...

FWIW the reason I found btc almost 3 years ago was not only because of it's usefulness as a currency that I could send anywhere NOW but especially that I could receive it NOW.  It's not an either or proposition.

hashrate: 0.1579

is that normal?

mining monero on the same machine i'd be getting like 30-40 H/s

Did you try the pruning branch? If you are that close, the savings from pruning should be more than enough make it work.

Is it on your github? I didn't see any links to it on the front page, so I just went with the main source.

My HR for Monero is 35 H/s and for Aeon it's 86 H/s for a modern Pentium dual core non AES-NI

P2P was never standing for being anonymous at all

Although it could be...............satoshi left shortly after the following.

I'm not grasping your idea yet.  Does it hide any information from the public network?  What is the advantage?

If at least 50% of nodes validated transactions enough that old transactions can be discarded, then everyone saw everything and could keep a record of it.

Can public nodes see the values of transactions?  Can they see which previous transaction the value came from?  If they can, then they know everything.  If they can't, then they couldn't verify that the value came from a valid source, so you couldn't take their generated chain as verification of it.

Does it hide the bitcoin addresses?  Is that it?  OK, maybe now I see, if that's it.

Crypto may offer a way to do "key blinding".  I did some research and it was obscure, but there may be something there.  "group signatures" may be related.

There's something here in the general area:
http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hopwood/crypto/rh/

What we need is a way to generate additional blinded variations of a public key.  The blinded variations would have the same properties as the root public key, such that the private key could generate a signature for any one of them.  Others could not tell if a blinded key is related to the root key, or other blinded keys from the same root key.  These are the properties of blinding.  Blinding, in a nutshell, is x = (x * large_random_int) mod m.

When paying to a bitcoin address, you would generate a new blinded key for each use.

Then you need to be able to sign a signature such that you can't tell that two signatures came from the same private key.  I'm not sure if always signing a different blinded public key would already give you this property.  If not, I think that's where group signatures comes in.  With group signatures, it is possible for something to be signed but not know who signed it.

As an example, say some unpopular military attack has to be ordered, but nobody wants to go down in history as the one who ordered it.  If 10 leaders have private keys, one of them could sign the order and you wouldn't know who did it.


There happens to be an implementation of what he is talking about Cool

Squeaky wheel worked, you now have one confirmation Grin

All day the blocks have been quite full and the transactions I looked at, obviously a small sample, looked legit.

No need to change anything guys, it's all OK Tongue

I am struggling to express myself.

None of the gifs on giphy works on this forum any more.

Yea man...you have been struggling for a long time now!  Grin

Well, I am fat.

A good way to store food for the coming apocalypse!

It would take a desktop PC about Infinity years to crack your password


we're not going to use a desktop pc to crack his pw, we're going to use our asic farm.

It would be so funny if he made a SHA-256 based password.

aztecminer must have meant GPU farm.

Is there a target date for release of v0.9 yet? Before or after bitcoin adopts bip101 (jan 16 i think)?

On red it fp said 1-2 weeks 4 weeks ago.  So by my calculation it should be in about 2 weeks from now.

My usual clueless disclaimer applies.

Monkey likes BTC for the next 5 days at least.



5 days Huh  I've liked BTC since the first time I used it Smiley

XMR can only go down. Forever.

The bears get to play until 0.9 is released. After that all bets are off. If one expects 0.9 to never get released then yes XMR will continue to go down forever.

I doubt 0.9 will result in any significant price change. The changes are mostly under the hood from what I understand Maybe if gui was released, it would increase xmr adaptation. But till then, changes to the commandline  interface wont bring influx of new users, in my opinion.

Yes significantly more will use it with a gui compared to only cl.

But right now the official binaries allow very few to run it at all.  0.9 will allow almost anybody to run it.  That is very significant.

What will be the result of the 0.9 release?  I have no clue, what else is new Grin  Though it won't be happening in a vacuum.

Aston Martin is not a watered down brand.

The current look of Aston Martin was developed under Ford ownership. The DB7 is riddled with Ford switches. The DB9 has the same Sat Nav as the Volvo XC90.

~40 years ago RR used a Chevy/GM alternator, what's your point?

My car is 26 years old and I keep it for the kick ass stereo.

Thank you monermooo and fluffypony Smiley

I forgot to take my shoes off.  Make that 13.

I wonder if fluffypony dreams of being a mustang.

Before I could get home and donate this was already funded.

This is only the first step which will analyze what needs to be done.  Let's see what is found.
