I was in Toronto at the beginning of the month. Had a great meal at Hy's downtown. Don't know why I didn't think to look any of y'all up.
Nice. Hy's is a classic. When I used to live in TO (Yonge and St. Clair area), I would not have had the money to eat there. Well, I might have but I would have had to forgo a few necessities... such as rent money  I guess I'll be dating myself but I paid $50 a week for a room with a private bath and shared cooking facilities; needless to say, I ate out frequently. If I splurged, it would have been at The Old Spaghetti Factory, The Pickle Barrel or Mr. GreenJeans (Eaton's center). The one time I went to a steakhouse in Toronto, I took a girl (before we went to the Queen/Billy Squier concert), and the maître D' looked at us and said (after looking down at my running shoes) "This is a dining room you know!" to which I replied "Yes, I know." In hindsight, I wish he had said, "You really can't afford this, my friend", because I had to spend my souvenir t-shirt money on dinner. It was a good steak but the bill and tip was nearly two weeks rent money - I ate a lot of peanut butter sandwiches over the next couple of weeks. It would be difficult for me to get downtown on a whim since I'm in the GTA, I work a weird continental shift and my wife has enrolled my daughter into every extracurricular activity known to man (and possibly some unknown to man) but I could try. I think it would be cool to meet some of the faces behind the names.

I like to have at least 3 points touching the lines I draw and if I zoom out on a 3 day trend, I see this:  Which looks like a 4th of July fireworks in conjunction with a Carolina Country Music Festival followed by the New Moon on July 6th! ymmv edit: shrinking the quoted image edit2: removing extra space

Good morning all. Bitcoin has been trading in a increasingly narrow range over the last 24 hours as volume has fallen. This is usually a indication of approaching higher volatility, however with market sentiment down I am unsure how much upside potential there is going to be. A key resistance point is still at $6.95k and Bulls have been unable or unwilling to challenge this area. On the flip side..Bears appear to have run out of steam to push prices down past a key support level of $6.25k, leaving traders stuck in a fairly shallow channel. 1h Sideways in the short term until late Sunday, early Monday morning.  4h Still clinging to the tenkan-sen but well below cloud cover, there was a downward breakout from a pennant this morning. Again, bears seem to be low on ammo to drive the price down farther.  D In what I would call the short to mid-range time frame, bitcoin's price appears to be heading for a slight uptick over the next couple of weeks. Indicating that at or around the beginning of July will most likely be our summer time high.  #dyor

Edit: I'm adding this quote from Eric Meltzer of INBlockchain because its a slow day here: As a jew, I find the existence of basically unseizable money outside of state control massively comforting. To jews, the state is an unpredictable monster that flips out every century or so. Having the ability to leave without leaving everything behind is key.” What a joke of a quote. The Jews always attempt to form a state within a state of their host nation (5th column) and enslave the native inhabitants through usury. This is why the Jews have been kicked out of every single country they've ever attempted to infilitrate. They're not like Italian, Irish, Asian, or any other type of immigrant. Their goal is not to integrate, it's an evil cult whose imaginary, made up beliefs claim it's their divine right to rule over and enslave all other humans. Allowing Jews in is the same thing as allowing termites to walk into your house on purpose. They must always be expelled from wherever they attempt to infest. For the same reason you do not invite the Charles Manson cult into your house, you do not allow the evil Jewish cult in either. The scumbag Jew in your quote is pulling the typical Jew lie claiming it's IMPOSSIBLE for Jews ever to be in the wrong and if anyone ever does or says anything against them, the Jew is always the victim and it's never possible the Jews is just receiving blowback for his heinous crimes. There's no such thing as a Jewish "man". They do not act like men whatsoever. They all pull this wretched, extremely female-like 'woe is me, I'm a SJW victim' scam while always being the aggresor against everyone else. Besides, even if you are a religious nutjob who follows everything from scripture, then if Jesus was legit, that makes Christians the real Jews, and these evil Ashkenazi cult members claiming to be Jews but not the anti-christ. That's why they're referred to as "the synagogue of satan" in religious texts. It would make sense from a religious point of view since many Satanists and feminists claim Satan is actually a woman representing matriarchy and the Jew displays nothing but the worst of female traits (being weak, pathetic, lying, manipulative) with disdain for anything resembling patriarchy. Amen. Unfortunately they are already in every country. There were three left. North Korea seems infiltrated, Syria is destroyed. Last none jewish country is Iran.

It 's that time again : holding up the bottom. (Now, I think the previous one, from Infofront, was a bit too heavy, so the upholder would get crushed under it... . What of course, under the right circomstances could be a rather pleasant experience).

As I posted between there and here, Segwit creates three classes of Bitcoins. Each with distinctly different exposure to security vulnerabilities. 1) Those that are completely free of any Segwit taint all the way back to their constituent coinbase transactions; 2) Those that are not currently output from a Segwit transaction, but have Segwit taint between here and their constituent coinbase transactions; and 3) Those that are the output of a Segwit transaction.
now trying to pervert the concept of fungibility. Just because a coin is being used in a specific way that does not make such coin more or less fungible than if such coin is used in another way. Geeze, JJG - you need to look up the definition of 'fungible'. Within the three posts preceding yours, 2/3 of them stated that they were cautious of accepting Segwit transactions until they gained some confidence in it. That is definitively a lack of fungibility. A lack of fungibility is in no way limited to some sort of centralized blacklisting. Sure some BIG BLOCKER nutjobs are going to continue to exaggerate negative speculation, like you seem to be doing, and to spread disinformation about supposed catastrophes of lightning network in order to pump their stupid-ass and largely non-substantiated negative talking points.
If you want to argue the facts of the matter, step up. I made some assertions of fact. Pony up some counter-arguments. If what I said is 'disinformation', then it should be a simple matter for you to put forth proof that they are false. And I am in no way exaggerating nor claiming catastrophe. I made no value judgement on the matter, and even pointed out that the current debate is how significant these flaws are. All you are doing is bloviating. Buck up or shut up.

(quotes snipped and cherry-picked for manipulation) /s ... I would have liked to include some quote with "nutjob" or "ratt's ass". Maybe next time. You still get the picture  So you cede that these issues exist. Great. This branch of the thread started with someone asking me to name some specific attack vectors which led to me being a Segwit skeptic. You don't seem to think they are significant. I think they may very well be fatal at some future date. Now we understand each other. Peace out. (I wonder if we can unroll that stack back to the speculation about paid shillery that prompted my claim of Bitcoin* believer / Segwit skeptic? Thread kind of veered off-course from that)

Well, you got a nice story out of it anyhow.  I think it would be cool to meet some of the faces behind the names.
If I have cause for a return visit in the near future, I'll ping you via PM.

Speaking of relevance little bear.. Is this really about bitcoin and bitcoin cash fighting it out? or is this about a community that stands together against the status quo of fiat and centralized banking? Seems to me there is much effort wasted in this dialogue worrying about "future problems" when we are surrounded on all sides.

Meanwhile, Bitmain is launching it's brand new Antminer S11 miner.  Those into mining might be interested as it's a presale period atm with the first 1000 rigs going to be shipped on June 20-28.

I can't think of 51% where an attacker can to extract a large amount of real value. All they end up doing is destroying/severely damaging Bitcoin. Now you could profit by shorting BTC, but there is no difference, whether its Segwit or Non-Segwit the outcome is the same. Can you give me a scenario where a Segwit 51% attack actually allows the attacker to profit. A 51% attack will require a >=6 block re-org, and if there is ever an unexpected >=5 block re-org, BTC (& fiat on exchanges) will basically freeze until an agreement on how to handle the attack.

If it says Bitmain on it, skip. Always buy from its competitors as long as there isn't much more than %5 difference price/efficiency-wise. You don't wanna feed the company which is working to destroy the chain you want to mine. GMO, Halong or Canaan will come up with an answer to S11 hopefully. Price is 6.5k again btw. I hope you are loading up from here.
