Why giving the info of how much blocks are filled? I don't really understand the impact and the point of such information? And I absolutely don't see the link with bitcoin trading though it's probably because of my ignorance 

Meh, it started out as just the count of blocks until the next halving (which is likely to affect trading) but once you're generating images and hooking into bitcoind with RPC, it becomes easy to add other stuff that's tangentially interesting.

Arguably, if the blocks become full on an ongoing basis, that is likely to affect price also as transactions back up and fail to be confirmed without unknowable and steep increases in fees.

Your "nazi" slur becomes increasingly laughable as higher percentages (42!!!!) 27% of French citizens vote for FN.


Marion is an ass-kicker boot-licker like her grandfather and aunt; your clichéd Spartacist Undergraduate League rhetoric only makes her stronger.

fixed that for you, quisling.

27% translates to how many regional councils?  0.  Null . Zero. Nada.

yeah. democracy.

True one. As much as I hate FN, it doesn't change the fact that if a party is supported by 27% of the population, they should be represented in a proportionnal way. If people are dumb enough to vote FN, let them burn themselves!

The fact that bitcoin only dropped 3.7% is bullish.  Look at the stock markets around the world.

There are already days when the blocks show as almost full and threads complaining about stuck transactions appear. If it gets much worse it's highly likely to affect the price so I'm glad chartbuddy shows that information. The number of transactions a day is increasing and the blocks are getting fuller.

explain to me what you are talking about

A mechanism is built into the Ethereum protocol to make PoW (GPU) mining insanely difficult sometime in mid-2016, which will force miners to switch to Proof of Stake if they hope to stay competitive.

The main developer for the proposed proof-of-stake algorithm (CASPER) is Vlad Zamfir. Radio interview: https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/3t2cph/vlad_zamfir_bringing_ethereum_towards/ Slide deck from DEVCON day 1: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1bV_vXJBko-DmhAgnOFYg8ZNbAvCZCZrlf0KBFPqwVIw (The DEVCON day 1 video was removed by Youtube for some reason.)

macro MIN_DEPOSIT: 1500 * 10**18

macro MAX_DEPOSIT: 60000 * 10**18

Minimum bonding stake size: 1500 ETH.
