trolls have killed off the positive vibe this thread used to generate ... mission accomplished?

grey, dead hand of the state killing everything it touches.

Bulls & HODLER's still exist, we just don't post in this thread very often, especially in times of low volatility.
I have no doubt that moon, train, rocket gifs sill be out in force in the near future

Edit - Just realised I stopped a ChartBuddy x 4 kill streak

Marcus just thinks anyone who disagrees with him must be a NSA-shill/agent/provocateur. He'll lighten up when the choo choo is ready.

Luke-Jr predicts death of bitcoin in 2016

 

(Because he sees that miners will never agree to reducing the block size to 500 kB.)

He's run out of the HD floppies and started in on the DDs.

How Open Source Projects Survive Poisonous People

I'll be blunt:  I think Luke Dashjr fits the definition of a poisonous person, and I think Bitcoin would be better without him. At the very least, we wouldn't be creating two BIPs for every technical issue, one for Luke and one for the rest of us (see BIP 16/17, and now we have BIP 20/21, too).

Do these folks realise that there's an actual world out there filled with real people actually using it these days? I often wonder this.

If I'd been Satoshi I would've left the development in the tentacles of genetically engineered squid or a secret AI. These humans shit all over everything.

1st coin ive been buying for my basket...ETH, for many reasons,  the contracts, IOT is here..samsung fridge and many more household devices going on the web. Then the ETH  pos stage in sep. With btc mining going 1/2 (fud time) it could become too centralised ( this could affect most pow coins ) and miners/users will look to get coins another way...this could b the year pos goes mainstream.
$10+ for 1 eth by sep ....defo
if eth is added to one of the big exchanges...$20+ by sep

I haven't seen any such timeline on Casper (PoS). Links?

cant find links, but do watch the videos for the info, theres soo much stuff going on this yr.

DeMartino: You mentioned that at the end of 2016 is the time where you can last with the current funding when you get the cost down, what do you see is the most critical task for the Foundation to get done during that time?

VB- "This is one of the things that I want to listen to the community to. What people in the community are basically saying [so far]. The top priority is making sure the protocol keeps getting developed and getting things like proof-of-stake and scalability and zero-knowledge proof upgrades out the door."

The furor on reddit over whether Peter Todd has broken laws with his double spend through RBF, and the calls for Coinbase to pursue a legal case against him are hilarious.

Which is the better approach for a cutting edge digital currency -

• Fraud (double spend) protected by the existing legal structure (no different from laws trying to prevent various forms of credit card fraud, or)
• Accepting that zero-conf transactions on main bitcoin layer have risk, and working on technical workarounds to truly solve that issue for people who want to accept zero-conf without risk

A mechanism is built into the Ethereum protocol to make PoW (GPU) mining insanely difficult sometime in mid-2016, which will force miners to switch to Proof of Stake if they hope to stay competitive.

The main developer for the proposed proof-of-stake algorithm (CASPER) is Vlad Zamfir.
