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

So what have we learned today? The same word can have multiple and rather vastly different meanings depending on your geographic location and historical understanding.

No, "communism" isn't a subjective term. Some people just use it wrong and/or haven't bothered to really find out what it means.

Sorry, I was thinking more along the lines of liberalism, socialism, anarchyism? (is that a word? I don't think so...). Hat tips to the prior discussion involving communism, although I'd probably still try to jump in the ring on stolfi's side as my thinking was similarly misplaced :/

Assume for the record that Bitcoin Classic is a coup d'etat, Assume that it is a Trojan Horse for BIP 101...
Isn't that better than having to deal and negotiate with the likes of Peter Todd and LukeJR?

Fork a multi-billion $$$ currency, shatter confidence in crypto, potentially even destroy lives, because some people don't like some other people - who they don't even know and just read about them in forums, reddit, mailing lists etc? I mean, wtf?

We've gone from the pretense of urgency to ...social disagreements as reasons to destroy bitcoin. Yeah, let's fuck peter todd and lukejr by forking it... that will show them (!) - along with a few million users of BTC. lol?

Peter Todd ‏@petertoddbtc @brianchoffman @matthew_d_green viacoin is the same protcol as Bitcoin. (and I was never worked on it they hired me to work on Bitcoin Core)


Peter Todd - Development Update Dec 25, 2014 2 minute read
CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY
As you may know CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY is now live on Viacoin testnet, and will go live on Viacoin mainnet as of block 598,725, which should occur around January 7th, 2015. I’ve also submitted a pull-req to Bitcoin Core to make it possible to test CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY, although currently there is no schedule for when it’ll be adopted.

I dunno, past and present behavior just doesn't pass the smell test. Especially when  said actions have lead us to where we are today. I'm just happy peter todd keeps rubbing salt in the wounds of miner's. I mean, if they can crash bitcoin maybe their viacoin holdings will finally be worth something meaninful.

Also: Say hi to Bitcoin's BIP 102:

jgarzik commented on Jul 16, 2015
BIP 102 - hard fork increase to 2M on flag day (currently May 5 2016)

Specification summary:

Increase MAX_BLOCK_SIZE to 2,000,000 bytes at trigger point.
Increase max block sigops by similar factor, preserving size/50 formula.
Trigger: (1) Block time 00:00:00 on flag day, AND (2) 95% of the last 1,000 blocks have signaled support via IsSuperMajority (ISM).

I agree the 95% rule. But the voting process should be AFTER the merge of this PR. If 95% cannot be met, nothing happens, if we have 95% in the future, as the code is already there, it is not only running on miners' side, but also on countless users and merchants. It saves us lots of time and could absolutely accelerate the fork process. In fact the switch over of BIP 34/66 was exactly like that.


Get ready for moon... and just in time for halving...

Viral Video Creator Sues Over 'Honey Badger Doesn't Give a Shit' Merchandise

The allegedly infringing greeting cards—apparently manufactured under Papyrus’s “Recycled Greetings” brand—are invariably formulaic and deeply, deeply unfunny.

“It’s Your Birthday!” a honey badger appears to say. Within, the heartbreaking revelation that Honey Badger don’t give a shit.

Ah, got it. You're still only a Jr. Member, why don't you just make another account and fix it? That's a better idea than letting people that don't know the reason call you a cunt when they get pissed at you.

Only down 6%? Doesn't the world know we can't scale yet?

Bitcoin will scale someday. It will take AI miners and developers to take the drama out of the equation. They will solve the engineering issues for us.

I dig your thread, man. I’ve had some similar thoughts.

I think carbon-based life forms will never traverse interstellar space. But intelligent machines might.
Imagine humans make great journeys for two basic reasons: curiosity and scarcity of resources. Even if we assume a super-intelligent silicon-based life form will have satisfied its curiosity in the process of becoming super-intelligent, lack of resources will eventually become something to leave home about. Could it decide to consume whatever we have left to prepare for the trip? Will we get a post card?

AI and money, it's an interesting approach.
