Lightning Network breaches the 700 BTC mark in terms of network capacity... and it's all thanks to pizza of course !

https://ambcrypto.com/bitcoins-btc-lightning-network-breaches-the-700-btc-mark-in-terms-of-network-capacity/

"The total capacity of the LN has increased to an all-time high of ~703 BTC, worth a huge $2.75 million. This all-time high comes from a total of 28,105 channels [at the time of writing].

The number of channels for the LN has seen a 35.2% increase within a span of a month, while the number of nodes on the LN has gone up by 15.32% and is currently at 6,400 nodes. The number of active nodes was 3,312, almost half the total number of nodes.


The number of active nodes for the LN has also seen an increase of 20.17% in the last 30 days. However, the number of new nodes added within a span of 24 hours has decreased by 7.32% and is currently at 37.

Additionally, a node on the LN for pizza delivery has been gaining a lot of traction and growing rapidly. About  150 people bought pizza using the Lightning Network nodes [called Lightning Network Pizza/LN.Pizza] and the number keeps growing without any sign of stopping. However, the facility to order pizza using LN is currently restricted to the United States alone."

Going to break 4k, are we?

Didn't we already do that a month or so ago?
I fail to see the wow factor in that, just normal volatility.

It's because we're showing more evidence of it reversing.

Nah, it's too early for that, we have several more months sideways to look forward to.
I'll be glad if I'm wrong, but I'm probably not.

I would say you are both right and wrong

We have bottomed and yes we have several more months of sideways.

pish tosh

I would say you are both right and wrong.

You are right about the sideways.

But there's plenty of room yet for a stab down to the dark side.

I'd even prefer it that way.

I'll bet you a litecoin?

I will take it if Hairy won't.

I will wager 1 LTC we have already seen the bottom of this bear market.  That is, it will not go lower than 3122.

Suggest period of wager is until Dec 31 2019, or we go over 7500 on Stamp in USD (or under 3122) - whichever is sooner?

Edited for clarity.

I will take the bet of 1 LTC that the bottom was $3122 on above terms or whatever else makes sense!

Then I should stand aside, as it was offered to you.  Unless V8 wants to offer it to me, too...   I don't mind, of course.

[kurious]

Stamp touched $4,000.

Briefly...

[Hueristic]

This is the highest I have ever seen since I first saw Hairy post this thing.

just do it. every WO hat should run a lightning node.

I was seriously considering proposing a "WO Lightning Channel Crew" thread - discuss making public and private channels between ourselves. Discuss game theory, etc.

Ultimately recognized it would not be possible to do so without breaking OpSec due to needing to expose an IP. Not willing to risk that, at this time.

I don't use TOR for performance reasons.

If you become a "trusted (LOL)" Guard Node then I think your performance will be just fine on the tor network.

Trading volume for the last 24 hours is the highest in the last 10 months : more than 10 Billions.

Is this the start of a bull run to $100k or a fake one?

It is probably the latter but who knows... this is bitcoin. Anything can happen.

Always supportive for an instant 100K run

Very wrong dude to Ask that complex question to......

I’m just a modest Hodler that only accumulate and try to increase when possible

Only have the long term market outcome @my mind

[jojo69]

I'm only having 2 short windows/day for WO keepup on weekdays right now.

I want 4200 when I get home people, make it so.

I knew this, but I am curious to know your mood about reaching the price of an BTC in 4000 dollars.

I'd go for the realistic 10k even by next month or forward. I guess we are long way to go for a $100k, but supportive to see that in my life and get rich yeah!!!

I'll remain it steady on my purse and see the highest vote in the poll.

[JimboToronto]

Good morning Bitcoinland.

I see the mini-rally of the last couple of days is continuing... currently $3975USD/$5270CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

We even briefly went over $4k. How long will we battle over $4k before we finally leave it behind for good?

This sub-$4k crap is getting really tedious.

Go Bitcoin go.

Warm southerly winds have brought a mid-winter heat wave to the Maya Jungle. Had to keep the fan on all night.

Once the new wiring is completed in a week or so, I'll be getting air conditioning. Slowly but surely I'm bringing modern comforts to my jungle retreat.

Yep.
People that know what they do are buying.
People that do not know what they do are selling.
Déjà-vu. A fool and his bitcoins are soon parted.

Why the fuck do people still buy Ethereum? I don't understand.
,
It is proven it doesn't have any magical solution to its L1 scalability and also nobody's using its dapps neither. So why would anybody want that piece of shit?

$5b worth of eth is traded in the last 24h. What the fuck...

*at least they are not buying bcash, that's a relief.

[GHCoins45]

Probably because ETH is moving from a POW (proof of work) to a PoS (proof of stake) consensus algorithm with a minimum of 32 ETH required to stake, and a lot of people are buying it at these low prices so that they can start staking soon
