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

[Torque]

This gif made me lol so hard.  Bitcoin market in 2014, and the Oil market and Chinese stock market now.

Of course I'm now more bullish on the Bitcoin market for 2 reasons, and the second one is a pretty sad but true reason:  

1. We've bottomed out.

2. Hi net worth traders absolutely LOVE volatility, and they've basically exhausted all other markets for now (U.S. stock market, European market, Chinese market, commodities market, gold market, etc.).  

There's really no where else for them to run to get that fix, and the Bitcoin market hasn't seen a real rally in a long time.  And they know that public sentiment is down for all those other markets right now.

So IMO, it's just a matter of time before they come back to the Bitcoin market again.

XT'ers shouldn't be lobbying miners directly. They should first lobby the node operators, then the exchanges and payment processors. If they win those two battles the miners will follow.

Many mining pools have already indicated they want bigger blocks. That doesn't necessarily mean we'll see a switch to XT but if we start seeing the higher block version numbers increasing in number, it could start a rush to XT.

Or a half decent solution come out of the core team that addresses the need for bigger blocks but doesn't fork the network, raise the block size so large the spam bloat on the chain will render it humongous  or move us from a team of core devs to two mavericks.

I think XT won't be happening given the market uncertainty it caused.

Currently zero percent of the miner vote.

Grab those those coins boys!

XT supporting nodes have more than doubled in a few days though (810 Bitcoin XT nodes today vs 3xx late Sunday)

I don't think we've bottomed out yet with more core and XT split discussions to come.

Bitcoin offers a discount and nobody shows up. Sounds like a bottom to me.

So if i start mining on XT, will the blocks be easier to find?

No.

Where can i see XT hash??

Nice new poll, Adam!
May I suggest to change to CIA / NSA joint venture?

That's why BTC price is falling. Blockchain is FORKED...they are stamping btc's like a factory....this will bring down BTC to 10 dollars.... SAD....SELL ALL now!

BitcoinXT is like Bitcoin but now with added free NSA support. After this crash XT altcoin is basically dead.

I think we might be approaching Full Retard.







Bullish!

I'm not sure that block is really an XT block.  It was mined by Slush pool, which is still creating all version 3 blocks.  That particular block has a bizarre version field for some reason.

That's true. It could be a BIP 101 block...

I don't really think it's either - the version in that block is "536870919", where the version field in a normal block (up to now) has been 1, 2, or 3.  I don't think any of the current BIP proposals or XT client creates weird versions like that, do they?  I would have expected maybe "4".  I confess that I have not looked at the XT code to see what it puts in the version field, but I would not expect what appears to be a large random number.

I think maybe the version field just got corrupted in that block somehow.

234 on Stamp now. Did we see the bottom a number of hours ago? I think the day opened at 224 so have we found the bottom? I'd really like it if we didn't go any lower than 220. Anybody got an opinion? Could we go any lower than 220?

It is an XT block. Sadly. Slush confirmed it, saying they allowing miners to choose and using v3 for core blocks and 536870919 for XT blocks.

Version: 536870919(10) = 0x20000007 (hex)

Edit: Sorry, someone on reddit said that, not Slush. https://www.reddit.com/r/bitcoinxt/comments/3hhbm5/first_mined_xt_block_370434/
