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

How many Core devs does it take to change a light bulb?
None. They will just tell everyone that the risk of getting electrocuted while changing the bulb is too high, and that it's much safer to create a market for candles instead.

... green candles all the way bro

adam, they are instead trying to build a more reliable system whereby you can see better in the dark because a larger, brighter lightbulb is a poor solution to the problem.

guys, if you want bigger blocks, run nodes that allow for bigger blocks. what do you want the devs to do? change one line that says "maxblocksize=1" and change it to a 2?

the core devs are working on other shit. and i agree with the advice of many people more technical than me. that simply getting bitcoin to do what it does now but with 20x the blocksize, or 8x is unsafe.

the debate has been done to absolute death and it's probably best not to take it any further than this. i was undecided on the blocksize issue for 6 months, but am happy now with segwit and other solutions.

stop trying to make HTML include everything. let javascript handle the interactive stuff.

offchain solutions please, maintain a health baseline.

You forgot the part where they form a company, take $76 million from VC and legacy finance, issue themselves shares in said company... Soon™ this company will bring to market revolutionary strings of LED christmas lights that screw into the socket of the burned out bulb.

Regarding chart buddy, Richy_T and chartbuddy exited this thread after Adam had been suspended for a short period of time, crying censorship and fullblocalypse  and scale or die.. etc etc etc nonsense.

In other words, he took his marble elsewhere.. to the copy cat wall observer thread on bitco.in   and also there's a dedicated chartbuddy thread too.   Some improvements to chartbuddy as well, even though it would be a much more useful tool, here. 

I think that in the past, there were some suggestions regarding the possibility of a new chartbuddy, a chartbuddy2 or a chartfriend or something for this thread, but someone would need to have enough commitment to program it and set it up and whatever else it takes.  I think such a new chartbuddy could be somewhat self funded on a forum like this if it were to add a signature campaign to its postings (maybe hourly), then such signature campaign could possibly pay for a considerable amount of the time and effort to set it up..

I could code something up, but I don't feel all that comfortable doing this when Richie took his down.

We could pass the hat around ... Richie took his marbles to another playground.

I doubt that anybody would really be ideologically opposed to a new chartbuddy becoming part of a signature campaign .. and possibly could even negotiate its own terms - and would potentially help to offset a bit of the time hassle for whoever puts it together....

but yeah, alternatively passing the hat around would probably result in a whole hell-of-a lot of funds.. or maybe could limit donations to something low, and it would probably still add up to a lot.

Just what the forum needs, more signature campaigns... 

IDK why anyone would feel uncomfortable about copying RichyT's ChartBuddy, the guy was advocating a controversial hard fork to increase Bitcoin's throughput. Translation: Trying to KILL our beloved and immutable status quo BTC.

Segwit in April

I thought that you were working on "ignorning me"?    Maybe there is too much irresistible attraction?


Yeah...  a contentious hardfork (and making the bitcoin protocol easy to change) would have been an irreversible and debilitating disaster for our beloved little potent friend, AKA BTC.

[spooderman]

fuck when did this become r/btc? guys the devs are doing amazing work, rather than spending their time in a fucking speculation thread.

their hard work has made you all millionaires and you sit here mocking them. wow.

[TERA]

The markets trap the mind. It's a cruel and ugly thing. I think we should take down the exchanges in order to free our minds and focus on improving bitcoin.

Richie left in principle because Adam was banned from his own thread because had Adam expressed options contrary to the forum's controller.

His reasons for leaving were noble and respectable.  Richie's own opinions were not rammed down anyone's throat or 'nonsense'.  He certainly posted far less verbosely and more eloquently than (with respect) you.

I only saw this because someone else quoted you, but I object to your attack of someone who is no longer here, but was a part of this forum for years and created Chart Buddy for all of us without asking for a penny.

You are misrepresenting him when he is not here to see it and it's cheap.

[spooderman]

i wasn't arguing against trading/markets/exchanges tera? if that's your only involvement with bitcoin that's cool, but other people do more and i'm grateful not resentful.

[dumbfbrankings]

Nah

Satoshi did the amazing work.

These guys are busy perverting and crippling it to incentivize take up of Blockstream's solutions to the problems they cultivated. They'd make way more from an IPO than from an appreciating BTC. Follow the incentives.

[spooderman]

i suppose a speculation thread isn't where i should expect to debate technical elements of bitcoin intelligently.

my bad

... the big-block camp is now just a hollow shell full of butthurt snowflake egos and whiny ragequit potential, they huff 'n pump ether and Mike Hearn was their role model  ring leader who kicked all that shit-stirring off ffs ...

That's not my only involvement.
-I used to mine
-I use it as a savings account and have used it to buy merchandise
-I have looked at the code and am interested in coding improvements, services, or an alt.

However do to the markets and my OCD/ADD, I can't focus on anything but the markets. The market attention has even wreaked havoc in the rest of my life.

Might I recommend the "ToominCoin aka "Bitcoin_Classic" #R3KT" thread?

Ha, thanks, I wouldn't want anything in return though  - it would be reward enough in itself (and I wouldn't put a sig campaign on it).

[TERA]

I think even the ugliness other people here at showing devs originates from these markets and frustrations with price movements.  Otherwise they wouldn't be in the speculation forum.

justusranvier or cypherdoc is it? ... doesn't matter, just more of the same disingenuous back-stabbing bullshit aimed to divide and power-grab

you guys are pathetic, get something real, constructive to work on

me too, all of the above and nothing more. i really relate to what you've said, the bullruns cause me no end of sleepless nights.

i only objected to adam's mockery of the devs that's all.

[TERA]

The term bullrun is actually bearish
