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

[Hueristic]

I just don't get why peops link pdf files here.
Make sure you know what your doing when opening them, they can contain executables.

Maybe the pdf that was linked contained no exe?
Additionally, I suppose people reading these pages would know what to do when the system asks them if it's OK to execute stuff they just downloaded without knowing.

(No flame intended.)

More the point, their opsec is good enough that it doesn’t matter if the computer they use to browse the web is compromised.

The point I was making is if you did not already know this then you do now. BTW d_eddie, "maybe" your system is now compromised is a bad way to learn opsec.

This deserves a repost.

There is nothing worse than a warm gin and tonic.

Funny you mentioned it, I just had a T&T.

Segwit transactions are valid under the old rules.

Yes, for some value of 'valid'. As but one example...

It would take a hard fork to make Segwit transactions invalid.  

...but it would not take any fork to interpret segwit txs as anyonecanspend.

LTC and ETH bubbling up relative to BTC

I have been watching these ratios for a while with my ladders, in the past this has often been an indicator for coming strength in BTC.

...but it would not take any fork for legacy software to interpret segwit txs as anyonecanspend which any attempt to spend would immediately be rejected by full nodes as a hard fork.

FTFY

Of course the concern you raise would be valid in the BCH context where there are no full nodes to patrol the actions of the miners.  

As Roger loves to say, full nodes only get in the way. Darn tooting they get in the way of fraudulent miners.

Trezor Legacy accounts activated, tested, complete.

Full implementation required.


Prepare for the BOOM!

the return of Taaki one of bitcoins lead developers

http://www.wired.co.uk/article/amir-taaki-dark-wallet-cryptocurrency-bitcoin-revolution-catalonia

Amir has been tied up in some dodgy stuff in the past.

As I write this, Taaki is in the process of recruiting the first five members of his academy: they will have to relinquish any other responsibility or commitment, undergo a period of “ideology training”, and live an ascetic life in the property Taaki will rent. There will be no salary other than “participation in historic action”.

This sounds as much the makings of a cult as Bitcoin development.

I wonder how long until some Bitcoin Liberation Front emerges out all this shit and starts kidnapping banksters.... hmmm no, we don't need that shit. It's sad how all nice things end up being politicized for all sort of random purposes.

That's what bitcoin is built for, to use against the Central Banks

But it is the wrong way to carry the "fight". Bitcoin needs to be adopted, that's all it needs to achieve its purpose.

Maybe not... But still don't see how it would help increasing adoption instead of the contrary.

When I hear the words 'Widespread Adoption', I want to reach for my revolver.

yes agree. these words are from the snake's mouth trying to sell us an agenda.

Bitcoin is too far from "Widespread" adoption yet, many years far away, but... you don't think it is important? For me, it is adoption (even if very limited yet) what gave Bitcoin value (not necessarily price). The more people that "adopts" Bitcoin for whatever reason, the better.

It was just a quote mildly relevant to the conversation.
Adoption is a very old chestnut, and I'm scarcely qualified to comment.

Bitcoin has the potential to change the entire global economy. It was never not going to become political.

This is probably what the bots see.
But if we break up instead from fomo, it's hella (short-term) bullish.
