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

[BitUsher]

The HK CRTA said specifically that we were supposed to get SegWit this month. Where the hell is it? What will happen to the price if it is delayed?

Blocks are full. We need relief now! The TA is suggesting that we could have a huge rally if the network was able to handle the extra traffic.

Now we see your true motivation ... Short term profits instead of concerns for the security or testing within segwit.

To answer your question -
Large blocks are already being created in segnet -
https://segnet.smartbit.com.au/block/0000008dfef05aa2924f65f3423de9875005a9107ff1c963c6c35f929b32ff0e

Segwit will likely be deployed later this month or early may. You have to understand that Core developers care more about testing and security than your short term price rallies.

Also to set your expectations , segwit will be activated with versionbits with a 95% threshold , so don't expect activation before june at the earliest(More likely early july) . This may also be delayed further because many BU and classic supporters are suggesting blocking segwit (against their principles of immediate scaling now) in retribution with 5-6% Classic hashing power.

Deal with it or contribute to development instead of whining incessantly.

P.S... We currently don't have Garzik's fee market event where we have 2 weeks of full blocks. I see plenty of partially filled blocks this past week so your anxiety over having to pay 2-5 more pennies per tx is unwarranted.

OMG!!!

For the median transaction size of 226 bytes, this results in a fee of 6,780 satoshis (0.02$). https://bitcoinfees.21.co/

2 penny tx to get in the next block ! The world must be coming to the end chicken little!

That might explain the last couple of months, what about the three years before that?

Well, Bitcoin is not just your technological plaything. People have real money in this thing, and if you fuck with peoples money they might want to fuck with you back.

EZ, BIP101

That's the solution. Deal with it and stop whining.

Good for Garzik, I guess. Gavin's scenario, however, is unfolding right before our eyes.

It doesn't matter what % of blocks are full you stupid fucks.  All that matters is what the average transaction fee is.  Since there is no minimum transaction fee, the blocks are basically designed to be full at all times eventually even if you set it to 100MB blocks.  Segwit + hard fork in 2017 = 3.2MB blocks.  Then schnorr multisig on top of that should lower transaction sizes and increase TPS further.

Hahahahahaha...



That's a great way of expressing the blocksize limit situation.

I'm gonna have to incorporate some variation of those kinds of talking points into my responses with the seemingly multiple dip wads who are participating in these various forums and striving to suggest that block fullness is some kind of ongoing bitcoin "problem," when in fact block fullness seems to be more of a bitcoin feature rather than a bug.

Maybe bitcoin naysayers have figured out some fool proof strategies to keep complaining no matter what - to constantly complain... hahahahaha

In the past few months, I have made about 30 blockchain transactions varying from $1 to $34k, and in more than 90% of those I included fees for each of between $.02 and $.08.  Most of those fee transactions were completely confirmed in less than an hour.   

Out of those about 30 transactions, I made a few of them with fees of $.01 or less, and those lower fee transactions took longer to confirm, but either way, the transactions went through in less than 10 hours (even with no fees)... I keep wondering about where is this supposed blockfullness "problem" that is bringing down bitcoin beyond the mere ongoing publicity of such supposed "problem"

we been waiting a year. the fix was supposed to be in earlier this year. and it still isn't in... now u say we must wait longer... i calling bullshiat on you.... we'll wait longer and later you will come up with more fud about testing and bullshiat bullshiat bullshiat w more bullshiat piled on top. ... bottomline is bitcoin cannot scale, it still cannot scale today, and all you got is more TALKIN about what you doing or gonna do.. i believe that after a year of hearing the same fud talk that your more TALKIN = more fud.

bud.. the part your missing is that bitcoin is manipulated by Satochia. nothing is going to happen to the price because they are #paralyzed right now. as i stated on feb 17 the price will stay within range below $500 and $350 ..they can't go up cuz if they do we are all in the profits (which may be the reason Satochia is withholding the scaling fix) and they can't go below $350 because if they do we all will buy again. they have a huge amount of infrastructure and development they would have to sacrifice if they decided to end bitcoin. they are going to remain #paralyzed until, at the very least, obama is out of the white house.. are they going to manipulate to discredit me ?? probably not because i might be baiting them to make a move.. i'm good with the fact they are #paralyzed until the next president takes office.. it proves that obama strategies are failures on all fronts.

make a move #GimpedCoin .

Do you even know what FUD means? Fear. Uncertainty. Doubt.

The only fear uncertainty or doubt I see is what you are attempting to spread.

Spreading (possibly undue) positivity about the state of Bitcoin is hardly FUD. Call it shilling if you want.

^^Fiendishly clever, Lambchop. Now no one will ever suspect you're you!

[gentlemand]

Nah. If I remember rightly he underwent some mysterious Bitcoin related trauma and ran around screaming about taking the whole thing down because of some unidentified act carried out by some unidentified people. Good luck with that.

i am aztecminer cuz i used to mine bitcoins. i stopped mining in april 2015 cuz i see no reason to pay irs income tax when can buy bitcoins straight out without having to roi hardware for three months. which, after this tax season, all my mined bitcoins and trading profits will be legal with the irs. i actually have a pile of bitcoins that i mined in cold storage: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.msg14471824#msg14471824 ... is doubtful lambchop owns any bitcoins.

And aluminium. Don't forget aluminium! Years and years of aluminium cookware and drinking beer from aluminium cans... they all have Oldtimers and Assburgers before they're weaned off Nannystate's teat, and goobermint brainwash factories (the so-called "schools") are powerless, alumafloride unsolvable ... insolvable? ...unsulutable... One day my mind was full to bursting. The next day - nothing. Swept away. But I'll show them.

Ever been to Utah? Ra-di-a-tion. Yes, indeed. You hear the most outrageous lies about it. Half-baked gobeldy-gook do-gooders telling everybody it's bad for you. Pernicious nonsense. Everybody could stand a hundred chest X-rays a year. They ought to have them, too.
