EDIT: For the record, I don't recommend eating ass. It's terrible.

I must disagree.

OK. Fine.

If you insist on a challenge, I will caveat my position on ass-eating.

"Ass-eating is OK, fresh-out-of-the-shower, as an appetizer. Don't ever eat ass for dessert. I mean, unless that's your thing. In which case, that's OK too. I guess..."

I'm glad we could reach an agreement.

Craig claims Base58 was used by FlickR in 2007 in this tweet after being asked if he invented it.

Didn’t you invent base58check? You should explain why..

.

No, Base58 was used by FlickR in 2007

He states that again here.

It explains the format Flikr introduced in 2007 on their servers...

However this blog post from 2009 contradicts that by saying flickr recently introduced its short URL service which makes use of base58.

Recently, Flickr introduced its short URL service for all photos (and videos) hosted on Flickr. All photos and videos have a corresponding flic.kr URL associated with them, in the format of flic.kr/p/xxxxxx (the last part is the base-58 encoding of the photo-id)

If flickr was using base58 on its servers in 2007 it should show up in short links in the source code of pages archived back then, but it doesn't.

The image on this page was archived in 2007, then again in 2009.

A shortened link to it containing base58 doesn't show in the December 2007 snapshot of it, but does in the 2009 snapshot. Search the source code of these two snapshots for flic.kr/p/ yourself. It only appears in the 2009 snapshot.

I wonder if flickr would confirm it copied base58 from bitcoin and didn't invent the format itself.[/size]

Darn, I was starting to give Craig  S Wright the benefit of the doubt since he is giving Jihan Wu the business.   He also made an error in this tweet. https://twitter.com/ProfFaustus/status/1034476452522156032 His calculations for a 56k modem is in bytes when it should be in bits.

What benefit of doubt? The guy has demonstrated countless of times how full of shit he is.

I am fully expecting the day when we can see the thousands of patents he says he has been maniacally submitting during the past few months. Spoiler: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lQ_MjU4QHw

Well, he had Gavin Andresen fooled for a hot minute. I was just liking the flack he's been giving Jihan Wu, lately. I'm hoping Samson Mow is correct, and Bitmain is facing all kinds of trouble. Can't wait for that whale to be thoroughly harpooned by this bear market.

https://youtu.be/pTzCGV1w-ng Confronting Tech's Titans: Schooling Wall Street on Silicon Valley | Scott Galloway Interview

From accurately predicting the recent price action of Bitcoin to foreseeing Amazon's purchase of Whole Foods, Scott Galloway, NYU Stern Professor and author of "The Four," has proven to be one of Wall Street's most clairvoyant commentators. In this interview with Datatrek's Nicholas Colas, the two discuss which tech titan will topple Apple to become the world's most valuable company, what the future holds for social media and the dangers of cryptocurrencies.

Is there a suggestion right now? Your bullish season course? We are going to be in September but I can still say that there is no light yet. You have to explode after one place.

[droptableguy2]

Ow Where is that ? Ain’t looking like Tomorrowland or So...? 
Have a good time and No its not cause off the crazy pills or booze.... we actually have a pump 

I still do not understand what you mean? What are you writing about? What about a pump?

OMG it should be "Noob Craig S Wright", not "Dr. Craig S Wright". Too bad I can't troll his tweets anymore as he has blocked me from following him.

Isn't it possible to create more than one account on Twitter? 

[El duderino_]

Same night and Same raise = Another good morning to wake up in.... So let iT come and let the pump continue
Buy while there still cheap, 🤞🏻For i hope there Will be No more cheap coins for those who left them instead of buying them.....

Back observer BTC/USD:

I like it, but it would probably be in everyone's best interest for bitcoiners not to come off as elitist jerks.

[marcus_of_augustus]

gonna have to edit this ... 48:65 months gives us 2nd peak around ~may 2019 ... so maybe ramping up again late '18, early '19?, who knows.

IF we repeat the 2013 twin peak pattern after 1st halving, and adjusting for extended peak-to-peak timeline (22months:30months), we could be looking at final 2nd halving bull run blow-off phase beginning soonish and peaking out ~early-Feb 2019 (48months:65months) ... slower but in the same ratio.

Back observer BTC/USD:

Or for them that Just don’t let uppertunities fly by...... or Just those take are willing to take a risk but are not very smart..., or those that Just don’t f****** like the financial systems, or those that Just see iT as a suprême BET with an amazing upside value against only losing what iT costs right now or When they bought iT and soooo Many more reasons .... Just be a part of iT
