It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

Man, and I was hoping to open a margin long at 399.99, oh well. I have a feeling that this was the last dip. Everyone strap in for a pre-halving bubble, beginning within the next 3 months.

The truth hurts. Not really fatal tho, unless you rush into the arms of your captors, repeatedly. Bitcoin crippled, Monero UP! Monero has an adaptive blocksize, so now you know.  |

(then again the lack of a life is why I got into BTC..so hey.....if BTC ever gets back to $1000 usd a coin...I'm pretty sure for some 'unexplained' reason...I'd get a LOT more attractive. Go figure?  ? |

Good thing about the blocksize debate is that node count is increasing.
At 7000 nodes now, compared to about 5000 nodes a month ago.
*6000 nodes, if you don't count multiple nodes on single IP. Node count will drop again when/if debate is over. Good morning  |

The truth hurts. Not really fatal tho, unless you rush into the arms of your captors, repeatedly. Bitcoin crippled, Monero UP! Monero has an adaptive blocksize, so now you know. The adaptive blocksize in itself is a security weakness without substantial fees. A spammer can easily make the system "adapt" to his ever increasing demands to spam it for near-zero cost and destroy it. Plus network propagation and block validation has a certain time required, you cannot go to infinity just because someone is spamming it. So, when the time came for such a spam scenario, "central intervention" by the devs happened and they raised the fees quite higher to make every tx much more expensive. So the solution for Monero, wasn't the adaptive blocksize (it was broken unto itself, if you expected the "market" or the "miners" to determine the fees) => but the centrally imposed fees. Likewise Bitcoin could have 4mb blocks tomorrow morning, if, say, every tx was bumped to something like 10 cents minimum. This, by itself, would probably have us at <500kb block use right away by eliminating dust & spam, with an 8x expansion space up to 4mb. |

Thanks, really interesting insights. What me makes a little bit worried are these stages of his blog post. "The next block reward halving is coming up in July. Let’s say that miners on average are able to mine a coin for $250 (I don’t know the exact number, so this is a guess). After the halving in July their cost to mine a coin will double to $500. If the bitcoin price stays around $425, it will be unprofitable for a number of miners to continue mining. The implication of this is that we could see a reduction of hashing power on the network at the July halving date. Perhaps in the range of 10–50% (I don’t have a good way to estimate this, if anyone does please post it). In a worst case, let’s say that 50% of hashing power turns off at the block halving because it is no longer profitable for those miners. This would mean that we start getting blocks mined every 20 minutes on average instead of 10 minutes. But blocks are already 70% full today. If the average confirmation time goes to 20 minutes, it means that we will be at 140% of capacity on every block, and start accumulating a backlog." Brian Armstrong speaks, and the price retreats. Like clockwork. Every single time. |

Go figure? ? I think so, too. Guys will certainly become much more attractive and interesting to the chiquitas with bitcoins at $1,000; however, I am thinking that the next bitcoin bubble, once we get there, is going to shoot into the $3k to $5k territory.... It's just a matter of when, and if we will all still be alive by then and still able to provide peanut services to each of the chiquitas who become more interested in us (for our various "qualities"). |

Im looking exactly at 3 unmentionable coins that are goin to receive the 10% of my stash. What are you thinking rite now?
Which ones? Maid, monero and eth. I transfered 10% of my holdings to polo, but finally I decided to wait for retracements. Wrong, today all them are between +10 and +24% I keep some moneros from 2014, thought |
