Peter - you really are talking your book on a 3:1 ratio, assuming you hold any bitcoin at all.
This is a Bitcoin thread. Surely you can fuck off and do something else. Roger Ver is spruiking Naga. Perhaps you could go off to Reddit and help bring “the first blockchain based universe” to those who don’t know any better.
Or maybe just go for a nice walk outside.

I've never understood this argument about "talking your book." Bob: "X is a great investment!" Alice: "Do you own any?" Bob: "No, of course not. So you can trust me because I'm not talking my book." Alice: "Well, if you really thought it was such a great investment, then why don't you buy some?"

critical vulnerability in electrum?
Thank God that I have not had any BTC stored in Electrum Wallet for months. I read the git on the issue. Amazing, they knew about it since November and poo poo'ed it back then. https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/3374I updated anyway and created a new wallet to use. Just in case that I ever want to use it in the future. I retained the old wallet just in case I need to verify anything with the old keys for an airdrop or something. Has the vulnerability been exploited yet? There must be a reason they poo poo'ed it since November and are rushing out a fix now. The reason is because someone gave them a demo on just how serious this was. Thank God the demo was by a white/gray hat rather than a black hat. That reassures me. If the vulnerability had already been exploited by a black hat we would probably have heard news of it by now. Hopefully only the white/gray hat figured out how to use it until now. Google Security Guy claims it on Twitter: https://twitter.com/taviso/status/949804775473737728

“Talking your book” means you are a spruiker or common shill. They can be recognized by coming to threads like this and going on endlessly about altcoins. I am sure r/BTC is a much better home for you.

The truth of the matter is that bitcoin is good.
Since when is non-fungible currency a good thing? Anything non-fungible is a permissioned ledger by default, especially when mining is designed to centralize and transactions are not blinded. Then you're just someone's bitch that has to beg the govt if you're allowed to use your own money or not. Generally everyone who isn't a good slave will be branded a "terrorist" and the answer will be no. So no, bitcoin is not "good", it's inherently bad if anything. Silver and gold are money. Bitcoin will be a govt tracking and slavery system. I see JayJuanGee is pedaling fake news. Oy vey! Remember the 7 trillion! I see u'r still spreading fake news R0ach! I advise you to sell all your gold for crypto. If not, I will take my boys and come into your home and take it all just for fun, and them come here on the forum to make fun of you. What you have is just worthless rocks. And compared to cryptos they will remain worthless. Keep in mind that there is much more gold & silver that can be dug out of the depths of the Earth, + other planets, but there will not be more bitcoin or other limited supply cryptos. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

The borg queen has noticed the propagation of alt coins in the alpha quadrant which will soon reach and influence the delta quadrant. The borg queen has decided to create her own hive borg coin. This coin would be scrypt based and would then be used by all borg assimilated planets in the sector and all throughout the delta quadrant. Borg coin has 500,000,000 coins to be minted. 500 million being based on the mass ton of the borg trans warp ship with a maximum rated speed of 29.968 warp factor with advanced trans warp drive. The fastest trans warp drive ship ever to exist. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FzoSRvSc.jpg&t=665&c=bLEqsycykPjNIw)

No, a shill is someone who is paid to entice people to take a position that may be contrary to what the shill believe, so that the shill's master benefits. Adam Back at Blockstream employs a large team of PR people to "correct misinformation" about large blocks. These people are shills because they are paid to promote a position that they may not believe in, a position that is hurtful for BTC (high fees / unreliable confirms), but one that benefits the employer Blockstream (by creating demand for their layer-2 solutions).

It would not surprise me in the slightest if you were being paid in Bcash. You are awfully much pals with Roger. Edit: Roach - don’t waste your time with 500 million coin issues. It will be over 20 cents per coin by the time it hits top 40 on Coinmarket cap. It’s a lot harder to pump over 10 cents.

I work on what I'm interested in and on what I think will help Bitcoin grow into a global peer-to-peer electronic cash system that's as useful to someone making $2 per day as to someone making $2,000 per day.

Sure you are. You are so pure of heart you hang around with Craig Wright who has fled Australia on fraud charges, with Roger who has a prior criminal conviction and presumably with Calvin who was on the FBI most wanted list.
You can judge a man by the company he keeps, and the company you keep indicates that you are mostly like a fraud and shill yourself.

It does if the reason for being crosswise is the commission of fraud.
Edit: or the mishandling of explosives / flammable substances in aircraft holds...

I think all cryptos are garbage because they're designed to centralize, and silver and gold are far better, but calling Roger Ver a "felon" for mailing fireworks is about as desperate as it gets for propaganda.

If he doesn’t give a fuck about putting unmarked flammable substance in aircraft holds, it means that he is not an upstanding member of the communit, mkay? If it was your job to handle explosives, you would also educate yourself about hazmat. Then again, maybe you wouldn’t because safety regulations are a Jewish conspiracy.

Both. Tax fraud and financial fraud. Much like our pal Mark Karpeles had prior issues with financial fraud and fled France to Japan. Maybe Craig could set up an exchange. He could call it Satoshi’s.

Sorry, I've never interacted with Calvin. Craig Wright threw a temper-tantrum on social media and later blocked me on Twitter after I pointed out errors in a paper he wrote. So we're not exactly "friends." ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Fuiqv3GZ.png&t=665&c=UnXTl38UIayf9g) I've met Roger in person exactly one time. But I do like Roger; I think his heart is in the right place and I believe he has done more for Bitcoin than almost anyone else.

It's not a sophism. The key word here is "liberty". Are you willing to compromise Bitcoin's decentralization by HARD-FORKING it to a bigger block size, so that you can buy your coffee at Starbucks and keep a permanent record of it in the blockchain? Bitcoin's enemies will still exist, and will still spam the network. Then what? Increase the block size even more, to accumulate more garbage? Another hard fork? Where does it end?
[ ... ]
I have yet to see anyone explain how increasing the blocksize increases centralization. It seems to be some idea that just took hold and that everyone believes in, because they believe in it. And it doesn't end. There will always be a need for improvements because there will always be competitors ready to take over if we stagnate. stagnation is death. [ ... ] Of course it doesn't end. The "it" in my "Where does it end?" rhetorical question refers to the endless hard-forking, not to progress in general. I don't think there's any point in analysing it any further. Some of us are conservative and choose the slow, scientific approach. Others are more impatient and want a solution "right here, right now". We can agree to disagree.
