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

[BitUsher]

people not upgrading would not want their coin transvestites by whatever some random dev manages to push down the Protocol's throat.

"Some random dev" doesn't have commit access, just to name the first problem with your false characterization that comes to mind.

"Some random dev" isn't an accurate way to describe the widespread, albeit not universal nor harmonious, consensus behind segwit.

Do you have a better plan to fix tx malleability and accrue the other benefits segwit brings to the table?

Besides the excruciatingly nuanced 'better as a hard fork' critique, I've yet to hear a good reason to eschew segwit, much less a plausible way to prevent other people from using that soft fork.  Ranting about transvestites and vague threats involving gold purity metaphors won't cut it.

You know you can't force unwilling miners to keep tx and sigs desegregated (and malleable), right?

Well Said. hdbuck has already let the public know he doesn't have a clue about how Bitcoin operates , especially segwit. He may be better off sticking with gold being mailed through the post office by the manner he thinks.

There's no way the Gavinistas will admit segwit is a good idea, precisely because it was proposed by Evil Blockstream People.

You're an idiot.

Well. I just don't understand it.

Surely fungibility is very important to maintain into the future for bitcoin, but I doubt that fungibility summarizes my ONLY points.


I recall that there is some case law regarding attempts to mark dollars and to make recipients responsible for looking for blacklisted bills.

Ultimately and luckily, those kinds of responsibilities did not fall upon dollar recipients because it would have likely crippled the dollar's fungibility and devalued the dollar worse than it already is... hahahahhaha


Surely, there are some responsibilities on people not to accept counterfeit bills and things like that, and we are still learning in the crypto-space the extent to which fungibility is going to remain a value and built into the custom and practices.

When I buy bitcoins on local bitcoins, I do not make any meaningful attempt to figure out from where someone is getting their coins; however, if the behavior of someone is strange and they seem to have a lot of bitcoins that they are discarding for under market price, I worry about getting involved with them and taking their bitcoins (because I don't really want to be a target of any law enforcement efforts).

When I am selling bitcoins on local bitcoins, I make a simple disclaimer that I will not sell to persons who inform me directly or indirectly that they are purchasing bitcoins for any illegal or arguably illegal activities.

I am not sure whether I am completely protecting myself in regard to such practices, but ultimately, I am taking certain measures to attempt to protect myself and also assuming a considerable amount of fungibility remains in the bitcoin space (at least for the time being).

Even though the above-linked article is from about 2 months ago, I believe that a lot of people on both sides of the blocksize argument have conceded that seg wit is likely going to come first and be implemented prior to any attempts at a hard fork.

In that regard, there is a pretty clear path forward for bitcoin, except for the ongoing posturing and attempts at FUD spreading.

After seg wit and maybe other currently unknown developments begin to unravel, we are going to again begin to go down the road of considering whether an outright blocksize increase is needed or a schedule of blocksize increases may be warranted.


Some of the public voices of the various blocksize camps do talk out of both sides of their mouth and sometimes change their position and sometimes seem to contradict their earlier statements, but really it seems that seg wit implemented at 1mb is the likely next phase of bitcoin... and coming soon to a(the) blockchain nearest you.

Carnival and the jazz fest are much better. Mardi Gras is more for alchoholics and immature boys who are impressed by a set of tits.

For that reason alone I will support Classic, just to make sure I'm on a different fork to you and your JazzCoin.  /s

LOL -- that article doesn't even mention segwit. iCEBREAKER is so freakin' stupid!

Comes a time when you know a poster's response is so goddamn predictable no matter what happens or is presented to them that you can blissfully ignore them and still know exactly what they're gonna say. I appreciate the time such people save me by not having to read them. All this block shit is certainly reducing the length of my webpages nicely.

NSA Switches To Quantum-Resistant Cryptography

According the NSA, the following isn’t safe to use:

    ECDH and ECDSA with NIST P-256
    SHA-256
    AES-128
    RSA with 2048-bit keys
    Diffie-Hellman with 2048-bit keys
