If Core development can be hijacked by a for profit corporation then I might as well be all in PayPal. Bloody humbug.

bye!

Go suck a Blockstream. I'm not finished yet.

I wonder how you'll feel when you use your first sidechain or make your first SegWit transaction  

No matter how benevolent it thinks it is a corporation is still a sociopath. You don't think it's dangerous on principle to cede control of development like this?

The sociopaths are over there : bitco.in

Would you rather we cede development to Mike Hearn & the bankers?

I don't know how to answer that. Are these really the only options?

>It was not so obvious
Sure it was.

>and it is not really funny to suggest so, after the fact.
50 coins donated to Magic: The Gathering? Meh, I chuckled.

Yes, after the fact anything is obvious.


Possibly, you chuckled because, you feel better about yourself if you see someone else suffer, and you outrightly highlight the point more because you get some kind of pleasure in taking advantage of internet anonymity.. and getting in little troll-like digs... a kind of immaturity within yourself, if you happen to be able to understand a world beyond the walls of mommie's basement, it seems from my vantage point.

Hearn left, so you're stuck with the guy who made Bitcoin what it is today or Leeches Inc.

@BlindMayorBitcorn: Which part of "A warring two-party system backed by major financial interests is the natural outcome of Freedoms^TM" don't you get?

I should have stayed out of politics.  

Edit: vote Gavin.

^^No prob, buddy. Did Cavirtex sort out its banking difficulties, or did you use an ATM?

After being Goxed for 50 coins I prefer to avoid exchanges and keep all my coins offline.

The anonymity is just a bonus.

LOL...

It was hilarious....

The denial coming from DumboToronto when as it became patently obvious that Gox was going down the shitter.

It was not so obvious.... and it is not really funny to suggest so, after the fact.

It was obvious enough to me that I was trying to get my 50 BTC out of Gox in August 2013, almost half a year before they went down.

Of course I opened a ticket but they stopped answering my emails in September.

Thanks for quoting MatTheTwat. I never would have seen his bullshit post otherwise. He and the original NLC are the only people I ever put on ignore.

I may have used the wrong words, but part of the point that I was attempting to make was that we cannot necessarily blame the various Gox account holders for their losses, either whether they were actively attempting to remove their funds or if they were sending money to Gox...

Surely, there were a lot of variety individual situations, and surely some of the account holders knowingly were putting themselves in more risk by sending more money and BTC to Gox during the varying shenanigans (hoping to make more money because of apparent arbitrage opportunities), and many of the risk-takers did not have enough information to understand the peril and/or did not expect the level of fraud/deception that we later discovered should have provided signs that the whole Gox operation was going to vanish from active BTC space.

Its a new weekend and as usual the price is going down.
But this time it is moving roughly. Is there any news that caused this movement?

It's probably caused by the Chinese dumping to pay for their New Year celebrations. There was a dump before Christmas, probably a result of people dumping to pay for Christmas. Everyone needs money to buy presents, alcohol, and food. I had to dump some of my stack to pay for Christmas.

Chinese New year is 6 weeks from now. What are you talking about?!

That doesn't mean they don't celebrate the usual new year
Also chinese new year is not 6 weeks, it was on March if i memorize the dates correctly

You memorized the dates incorrectly, it seems. This time, it will be February 8.

Which one would that be? Surely not USGavin?

I'm sorry for anyone who was ravaged by gox but when I first got interested in buying coins it was still the go to place. After a few minutes of googling my thoughts consisted of 'fuck. That. Shit.' And I never considered it again.

I remember reading the phrase 'too big to fail' repeatedly which just brought home how unworldly some people are. It was surprising to see it die but not a shock.

What do you call those tremors that presage the Big Quake? I was never much of a JJGeeologist.

You can be a little more direct, if you are trying to get in digs in at me.


Yet, There seems to be no predictive value or "I told you so" value taking place at the moment, because i do not engage in any real specific or absolute attempts to predict the short-term price direction of BTC... furthermore your various posts predicting the ultimate downfall of BTC and its various deficiencies are also not really short-term predictions (and do not seem to be at play with the current downturn in BTC prices.

Anyhow, I stand by my earlier comments relating to your seemingly disingenuous tendencies.

Why am I the issue at all? It shouldn't matter if my arguments are sincere or not. It should only matter if they are valid.  Smallblockers think making blockspace more expensive makes them more valuable, when usually things become expensive because they are already more valuable.

I remember when I used to think that having a large vocabulary was an adequate substitute for good judgment. Most people grow out of that.

i am luck that i do not hold any bitcoins as of now.
bud, if you wanna keep the bitcoin in value, refrain from excessive selling, because you won't know when you will lose once again.
