I have a VPN service but I worry that if the VPN drops the node would stay online without caring.

Firewall it (default deny all) on your outbound router and only allow packets going to the VPN provider. If the VPN drops, it will simply get disconnected, and that way you also make sure there's no DNS or other type of leakeage going on.

I will look into doing that. My router is the box provided by the ISP, that sounds bad but it's a very innovative ISP (father of the school "42" ), the thing is extremely powerful and has tons of options, I've seen one about VPNs.

Oh snap, gold just forcefully broke through 1300 resistance. Shits going down.

1300 dollars. Don't forget that last part. The dollar is very weak at the moment.

Can somebody recommend me a good router that can only allow packets going to the VPN provider? Also it would be cool to have a firewall in the router. I've  been looking in the Tomato-firmare that can be installed into many cheap routers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomato_(firmware)

BCH is spiralling ever downwards in a nice orderly fashion. I approve of this.

All they do by mining massive numbers of blocks in a short period is create more available coin. more coin+ same demand = price drop.
if price drops, fees drop. fees drop, less chance of miners switching.
another EDA. more coins, same demand, cheaper price. if price drops, fees drop. fees drop, less chance of miners switching.
eventually you reach a point where nobody ever mines bch, no matter how many EDAs they do, because the price has dropped too low relative to BTC to make it worth it, and it screeches to a halt with a wet sounding plop.
You can already see it in the bch chart. People are figuring this out and hedging their bets. The crowd is dwindling.

Can it be written off though? I mean do you not expect some huge manipulated pump later on?

I thought I'd mention I have traded all mine for btc now so I don't care about it anymore.

Of course it will. The people who bought it off the dumpers will mainly be the usual exchange pumpers. Even if miners slowly lose interest, pumpers are not so discerning. Stunning junk has gone through the roof repeatedly. This won't be any different.

In my heart I know you're right.

I doubt the faster mining has that much of an impact on supply. Given the 12.5 BitCH production per block, the new minted coins hardly have any meaningful impact against MILLIONS already existing (forked) coins. If there is any supply they have to worry about, it is the dump of all existing (MILLIONS) forked coins.

Only 7 left. Engage rocket ship

In my heart I know you're right.

Be strong. It'll probably fall a long, long way from here before they ignite the engines. You'll have a grace period of extreme smugness.

How has Coinbase justified not releasing their BCH's yet? The longer the price holds the less inclined people will be to dump when they do. Are they trying to stabilize the market?

(ps I know its silly-and gimmicky- but its attention of the MS variety.. makes me think someone somewhere in BK is a BTC fan - step right up millennials step right up.  I bet we see a lot more gimmick crapcoins like this-which will lead some to burger tokens and some to the mumma BTC.. How long before every MacD and BK and other highstreet companies have millions of newbies asking "whats all  this crypto currency all about then?")

I do not want to not be able to walk down a high street and not see the white and orange B logo on every shop, restaurant , bar, bank, taxi, bus... website...

Notice the gap increase (200 USD then 500 USD then 1000 USD ... and after, rocket time !).
Oh, and ... it's only 1 year, too.

Wonder how long before MSM stop referring to FIAT as "real money" and BTC takes that nomenclature?

The current cost of a Whopper in Russia suggests customers will be able to get a free sandwich for every five or six they buy with REAL MONEY.
