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

[petemoss2]

02.10.17 for me please. Why? because it's my birthday! And Doyle Brunson won two WSOP hold-em championships with 10 2.

[bitserve]

Ok guys, let's do some recap here.

Miners started signaling even earlier than was expected (21 July). That's why some miners got caught unprepared and there was doubts if it would make it in first activation period or next one. Fortunately it did, and price was rising along the probability of lock-in, as expected.

It has been years of criticism against Bitcoin for its lack of scalability.  This has set the beginning of the solution.

Very soon we will feel the effect of the positive news on this issue, which should start to be posted from now on. Also, in a couple of weeks until Segwit is effectively in place without incidents the remaining fears will also dissipate.

It is also important to note the great consensus achieved with the following rates as of now:

- Segwit2x (intention): 99.3%
- BIP91: 98%

This is exactly what we needed and HOW we needed it.

With those figures there must be no fear of contentious HF and if a 2MB increase via HF is executed some time later with this same support theres nothing to fear. I just hope they work along core to do it safely.

The future of Bitcoin couldn't be brightest than it is now. This will be a great year for Bitcoin

TO DA MOON!!!!

Sounds like you are trying to paint your fantasy about what you think the world is?

These levels of consensus do not signify that there is 99 and 98% agreement pertaining to particulars.

We already know that there  is disagreement that goes pretty high... so we are not out of the woods yet, no matter how you try to paint the situation as some kind of flower power orgy.

!!!!! And guys because i am offering free money and there is no two-sided bet, i wont use this escrow. You are all essentially freerolling with nothing really at stake. I will guaranteed pay out this competition and it will go to someone that did not doubt me and participated in this freeroll. Skeptics after that point will be silent and will only look more foolish. Cant blame people for being distrustful on these forums but im not going to great lengths to prove my sincerity as I feel no obligation to do so. So participate and make a guess or stand by the sidelines and be a skeptic. But dont sow any seeds of doubt, we have enough of that here already when some of the fudsters crawl out again

You can really mean it and you can be sincere about it, but if you are spinning reality rather than recognizing certain important and material facts, then you are likely going to get into trouble from time to time.  Maybe you conclude that the benefits outweigh the costs?    I just think that it is problematic... and surely we have to see how things go in the coming weeks.. but there is no fucking way that there is 98% to 99% consensus regarding underlying scaling issues including the 2mb blocksize limit, whether there should be a hardfork, and governance issues.

You must take into account that what miners are signaling is Segwit2x (which includes the 2MB HF sometime later this year) and they are doing it with a consensus that has just now reached 100%.

Btw, Antminer Antpool  has just started to signal for BIP141. It is very possible that 95% signaling rate is achieved too once more mining pools start doing the same. In fact, it will probably be 100% as non BIP141 blocks will get orphaned.


P.S.: BIP141 58.3% for last 24h and growing FAST.

Seems like ATH for today was close but still failed.

August 20th, new ATH game.

[BitThink]

The bip91 has been locked in. However, miners still need to come to a concensus on the HF part. After SW is activated, there's nothing to prevent the miners switching back to core version with signal 1. Only around 80% signed NYA and nobody knows whether anyone will quit.

Keep monitoring signal 4 may help to check who switched back to core version, but after SW is activated false signal 4 needs only a trivial patch on core version.
