Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

[bitserve]

This is some shitty volatility. It's not what I signed for.

Some guys jumped the gun. This probably isn't even the beginning as the order books are so thin the price could drop like a stone if it is allowed to.

It has way less resistance on the upside.

5 more regular blocks and then 1 ABC block with a size > 1MB to go until the HF happens.

Code:

Current median time: 1501585575
HF needed median time: 1501590000

I chose waiting tactics. Im reluctant to believe there will be fast free money drop on every bitcoin holder.
It just can't work like that.

This is Bitcoin! In Bitcoin it works just like that!
Since 2009 every bitcoin holder has free money drop.

Ver and Wu are willing to advertise their ego upon us. And they are willing to pay. As far as they pay high enough they'll have part of my attention.

Lets see how deep are their pockets and bank accounts

Is this the forked block? https://blockchain.info/block/00000000000000000018b9fcd7833e3bdadd6f0ea790a507457f47abac051da6

When median time reaches 12:20 UTC (a little while, wait) and a block bigger than 1MB is formed, the fork begins. Neither of those things have happened yet. Keep in mind the network median time always lags behind so it is technically not 12:20 yet.

I don't get the median time stuff, the countdowns are over, the bitcointalk time is now 12:39, why isn't the average time also 12:20?
I expected the split already, looking at the alts markets, others did too!  I guess some jumped the gun as the fork hasn't happened yet.

I wonder how many other people are frantically hitting f5 a lot today!

Median time is like Network Time- It is never usually the same as the time that we are on for many reasons. Give it ~30 minutes and we will be on our way. Traders always sell early, not much of a surprise to me. It will likely go down more as the real traders start to dump.

Well according to the Bitcoin Fork Monitor, it will be an hour until the median time is 12:20, then they will have to find a large block and mine one, so it could well be 14:00 real UTC before the split actually happens.

People could have done very well buying alts low, selling them now for BTC and getting BTC and BCC at a higher rate in an hour or so when it forks!  I considered piling into alts, but didn't want to have so much money on exchanges at this time.

Next hour could be last chance to buy under $3k ...

You mean a measly 5% volatility from peak to peak?

[micky123]

BCC available on Bittrex, but i cannot do anything with it atm!

Edit: Does this mean the fork has happened?

Does any one know how to export private keys from blockchain.info wallet to a wallet that supports BCC?

Oh I remember bitfury.

What do you mean?

they finally found a block cos hashrate is so low

They are regularly finding blocks. Hashrate is anything but LOW

i´m a permabull but i dont agree with you this time. (of course i see btc > 4k by dec)

But i think Ver and the clan will dump BTC like mad, to create FUD.  Popcorn ready... fasten your seatbelts!!

quite logical...

[drbrockcoin]

BCC credited on Bittrex but NO TRADING
Nothing on Kraken yet

[Wexlike]

Can they start finding blocks again ? This takes ages.

[drbrockcoin]

Anyone know if all BTC in paper/brain wallets can be moved with the BCC already there or is it not "official" yet

[leowonderful]

Regular block found less than a minute ago. We're getting there, just get a snack and keep your eyes peeled. Wonder if any of the big pools plan on going the Cash route...

[ohrenbaer]

very low hashrate on mainnet right now... Is it posible that lots of miners have switched to BCC and are just waiting for the fork to happen?

[marcus_of_augustus]

I think some of the miners may have gone offline since now is a good chance they will waste power on an orphan block, get ddosed by Wu or some other such crap ... who needs all that crap. Just go down to the winchester, have a pint and wait for it all to blow over. This could take a while ...
