need to decentralise mining pools. right fucking now

[important links]

Damn, V8s, important message posted while I was writing long thing.

The deeper problem is ASICs.  Special-purpose hardware can be controlled on the supply side.  What happens if mining hardware requires a licence to purchase?  What, you think they won’t go that far to prevent terrorist laundering and money financing?


I am in Bitcoin because it is more or less our last hope.

I intended to write of this recently...  I actually don’t believe in much of the maximalist economic stuff.  Yes, Bitcoin has long-term fundamentals and will increase in value.  No, I don’t buy that it will become a “world reserve currency”; that’s a terribly naïve proposition, whereas it will never be allowed by bankers who can’t control it—bankers who control tens of trillions of dollars in assets, own governments and thus militaries, tanks, ICBMs, and nuclear weapons, start wars at the drop of a hat, topple governments like toys and kill millions of people...  Do you really suppose that their lunch can be eaten by some software on the Internet, which, by the way, they also own and could shut down at any time?

If Bitcoin fails, there is really nothing else to shield us from being crushed into total, inescapable enslavement through the lethal combination of scam fractional-reserve “money”, total financial surveillance, and KYC-everything permission systems.

Bitcoin gives us some freedom of action to strive to obtain more freedom—if we choose to do so.

All other freedoms depend on financial freedom.  For only one example, just try to exercise the freedom of speech if financial censorship and financial surveillance can be used to ensure that you cannot buy even a crust of bread without permission, and you can be physically located at any time.  For only one example.

Trading is for gamblers, it’s like betting on sports. The only way to guarantee profits in bitcoin is to HODL. Nobody loses if they can afford to HODL for 5+ years.

Stop gambling & have some patience. U less you’re a whale you can not control the market. Even then you could get REKT.

HODL.....

The decentralization of bitcoin is a myth like the fair election of US presidents. Who has a button from the Internet - he rules the bitcoin

Good morning WO!

Snip

I am afraid there will always be two bitcoin economies: a regulated and dark one. Probably the in between will not be possible. It's either one will transact on the bitcoin protocol following its rules (coin control, coinjoin, LN etc.) or, on the other hand, he will stay in the KYC/AML/FATF bitcoin world. Surely we need some privacy adjustments for everyone. The average newbie is not able to protect himself and does not even know what this is all about.

@nullius you can indeed become rich but after around 200k contracts slippage and stophunting absolutely wreck my strategy so its gonna slow down from there, so i would be in no place to accept anyones money either way lmao.

Ah, Sway, now you are just being coy.  Admit it:  You are tickled by the idea that, depending on whose opinion you believe, either the forum’s most eloquent sesquipedalian genius or the forum’s most arrogant jerk wanted to send all of his money to you—if but only you could achieve the impossible!  (“Focus on the IF.”)

By the way, I hope you don’t mind if, at this juncture, I kindly request that you apply at least a modicum of correct grammar to your posts.  This is not to be rude, much less to make a grammar flame.  Your posts are actually difficult to read; you would be a more effective communicator, if you at least formed proper sentences and used apostrophes where appropriate.  This isn’t Twitter.  I am trying to help, if only so that I can better understand your financial insights.

For you see, I am all about peace, harmony, and cute kittens.  Really.  Ask anyone here.

Don’t get me started.

I think the correct choice is neither.

This is why I say:  Don’t vote.  By voting, you grant your moral and practical political endorsements to a corrupt system:  An ochlocracy manipulated by a plutocracy.  The result is kakocracy:  Rule of the worst.

Stop gambling

Thanks; I’m not actually trading.  I am only discussing with SwayStar whether or not she wants to take all of my money and gamble with it.

Good luck brother!

There is a reason if Stamp is the WO reference exchange: they are leading the pack:

Bitstamp Integrates Nasdaq’s Matching Engine for Faster Order Executions

Cryptocurrency exchange Bitstamp has implemented a new matching engine from Nasdaq’s technology vendor that it says greatly speeds up trading.

On a casual Virtual meetup with Paolo Ardoino, your fellow Fillippone asked the Bitfinex CTO how the "traditional exchanges" could help heat-up  the crypto exchange competition. Ardoino mentioned their expertise on matching engine expertise citing the NASDAQ engine being one order of magnitude faster than their current one (yes, 10x faster is no joke).

I know this is impossible, but I would like to know what Hal Finney would think of the overall Bitcoin situation, exchanges, forks, asics farms, long shorts, bets

You can activate auto generated English subtitles, these are not perfect, but you can get an idea. No subtitle machine can keep par on Giacomo Zucco!

Its not sideways... its upwards!

[savetherainforest]

But what happens if you lose 1 or the order of them?

You add the index number, possibly obfuscated (reversed order, as a simpler example)
get creative

Same question to you OOM (ditto) - as I had raised above for homerx (except substitute "creative" for "cool").

I think I've figured it out if you mix the order of them. ... Basically you make 1, 2 and 3 dents in each of them. And then you put them in a specific order based on the dent.
For example : 3 > 2 > 1 < 2 < 3 > 2 > 1 > 2 > 3  (considering you have just 9 pieces). And then if u mix the 2 / 3 or 1... u can just mix them till u find perfect combination. Or you can put them in another order of your liking.


Edit: Forgot "0 dents" ... cuz you know... less work doing the dents in the first place.

Anybody got the feeling we’re coiling, ready to explode upwards in the short to medium term future?
Bears tried to take us (and keep us) below $10,000 numerous times now & they’ve failed every time. The halving SHOULD start to show in the price soon. Think about it, miners now only have half the amount of coins to dump on the market. They should be out of the coins they had previously now so the reduced supply SHOULD show in the price soon.

The US election is imminent, it seemed to be a catalyst for bullish movement last time. What do you think guys?
It feels like the calm before a storm, I think we’re going to get a Q4 bullish rally.

[Cryptotourist]

Ha, ha, you got a short circuit in your brain, Hero,  incoming, congrats

Hey thank you VB.
That goes for all my merit donators, could not have done this without your valuable help. <especially the Dude's>
No idea why you guys still merit me, but it's nice to feel the love.

I just pray to Loki that SwingStar is OK with all this.

Don't worry, we're only pulling your legs dear, hoping we don't find a third one.

I do miss those prediction games.
So here is mine:

Are you blind? You can see the credits in the image.

No that watermark is the only reason i even found the original link, but most people wouldnt notice it, especially when the image is so small on bitcointalk and the watermark is very light

you blame your own eyesight and monitor size/resolution for your failure instead of your lack of attention to details?

before accusing someone of plagiarism, please pay a bit more attention.

I was the one who found the original twitter link by paying attention to details tho?

also i didnt even accuse him of plagiarism, i was just asking if that counts as plagiarism, and i was able to see the watermark on my screen because i zoomed in, just saying that an average user will probably not care to inspect that much and will just assume that the poster is the one who has made it
