LOL

This guy is mad because of what?
Bitfinex is doing with their tethers exactly the same what Fed is doing with their Fed Reserve notes. Both are backed by thin air...

The real question is, the minimum fee we can pay is 1 sat, there is nothing less than 1 sat, right?

No one answered this question. The minimum fee that is less than 1 sat is zero.

That doesn't help much unless the scaling issue has been fixed at that point where zero fees ends up confirming within a day or two and people only pay fees for faster transactions.

The current minimum relay fee is 0.0001 for any transaction.

I used to send zero fee transactions, but that was 5 years ago.

Zero cost is the lowest transaction fee for bitcoin, there is a choice of transactions fees for bitcoin determining on how you want your transaction processed.



remember bitcoin works, maybe slow, may take a long time but it works and is the most transparent currency there is, it is up to us to apply the right software to get the right outcome

you want faster transactions - build on top of the blockchain something that can do that

many developers are doing this now

time will tell if this new software can turn, a trial currency that bitcoin is, into being adopted as a viable financial service




For example:
http://www.rsk.co/

RSK is the first open-source smart contract platform with a 2-way peg to Bitcoin that also rewards the Bitcoin miners via merge-mining, allowing them to actively participate in the Smart Contract revolution. RSK goal is to add value and functionality to the Bitcoin ecosystem by enabling smart-contracts, near instant payments and higher-scalability.

You have no idea how hard it is trying to work today, with this giant throbbing erection I have right now.

Wish I had time to Photoshop today

You have fucktons of money, why are you still working? Spend your time productively, by making shops for us!

It is perfectly possible to add more decimals so that 1 sat is not the minimun fraction of BTC. No problem there.

This question was answered few years ago when Lightning Network was proposed. If 1 sat is too expensive for you just cooperate with others to pay 1 sat when LN channel is opened and closed.

Can someone let me know if BCH's difficulty is scheduled to reduce any time soon?

I'm trying to target a date that might happen to be on the alert for a new pump/dump in case we get a round 2 of what we experienced this past weekend.

https://www.cnbc.com/2017/11/15/thomas-peterffy-keep-bitcoin-away-from-the-real-economy.html

The chairman of Interactive Brokers is saying that futures trading of Bitcoin through CME could be the cause of the next financial collapse. He took out a full page ad in the Wall Street Journal to warn about it.

What's he, the father of high freq trading, really concerned about? That the 'real economy' is just a sham of made up numbers on trader's screens? The whole thing sounds very fragile if it cannot handle being linked to bitcoin through cash-settled futures trading.

I'm not exactly sure how Lightning is going to work, but I am almost certain that most people or entities that will open channels will close them within the day, probably a few times a day, or twice a day. So settle twice a day.

If it were like one of my transactions, that's maybe $1m "settled" paid with $100 fee. Even if it were $1000 fee because of more inputs.

as a multi-coiner...with over 100k in networth in coins...

let me enlighten you.

Who here isn't a multi-coiner with over 100k (USD I presume) in networth in coins ... even if unrealized. All I did was join a half dozen ICOs last year and now I have 100k. (again, unrealized, but who cares, just HODL right...)


noobs. hehehehe.

Yes, zero fee is a valid transaction, but very few nodes will relay the transaction, and very few miners will include it in their blocks, so you almost never see them these days.

I get the total opposite impression myself. Mechanisms will evolve that mean once you're in you can stay in for good if you wish. But what do any of us know at this point?

[drbrockcoin]

Indeed. Hopefully there will be a less anti Western / pro China / pro North Korea leader in charge soon..

Really? You mean Zims will be better if colonial status is reestablished in this country?

Of course not.
Trade doesn't mean we go back to the British rule / pillaging / apartheid days.

Surely it would be at least fruitful for the people of Zimbabwe and the Zimbabweans over here if the British prime minister made a statement about the situation in Zimbabwe and to at least state that Britain is open to have a conversation with whomever is in charge next to see if we can help.
The British government has already stated many times that foreign aid will not be cut. I don't see why a Zimbabwe without a dictator could not benefit from that.
There is life in the world outside of the EU and we should be keen to help considering the historical (mostly I agree negative) and language ties.

BUT BUT by help do you mean send in the economic hitmen with globalization? IMF Trojan loans etc? Or by help do you mean covertly funding a coup and/or economic sanctions against the population aka IRAQ/IRAN/N.KOREA/VENEZUELA/CUBA etc

Communist much?

I dont know how to respond to this.

American much?

both, with some resource extraction sweetheart deals thrown in to grease the wheels a bit

Ahh I see the good old double penetration  

[drbrockcoin]

Woke up to news of a military coup underway in Zimbabwe.

Crazy times we live in. But it's overdue, those poor people have suffered enough..

Indeed. Hopefully there will be a less anti Western / pro China / pro North Korea leader in charge soon.
It would be good for the citizens if trade links with Britain and direct flights to Harare would be reestablished. Many Zims over here in the UK.

YOU ARE JOKING RIGHT???

Its not like the West (UK/Europe/USA) have a track record of raping, enslaving and pillaging in the African continent right?

Why dont those damn Africans and Middle Easterns hate us? Hmmmm let me think.... CHUMP

Your response sounds quite chumpish. My comment was simply a desire of hoping the best for the people if Zimbabwe. With your chumpish attitude one could justify it is ok to destroy all Germans today for the atrocities committed in the second world war and so on until not a single human being is left on the face of this earth. Good luck selling your Bitcoins or paying with them then.

If you think Zimbabwe is better of trading with asia that's fine.

From a practical stand point I don't see this improving the situation for ordinary Zims quickly. Beyond South Africa, the diaspora has mostly been to western countries from what I know.

Lets face it dont you think AFRICOM has something to do with this? You know China is doing deals with African countries where instead of dropping bombs or covert ops and supporting dictators USA style they are actively trying to do economic trade deals, infrastructure investments etc that can benefit the African countries.
The US answer to countering China (good old anti-communism mindset) is to fund and direct military coups. hence why AFRICOM was setup by good old Change You Can Believe In Obama

[jbreher]

...Lightning ... So settle twice a day.

Lightning atop Bitcoin Segwit? With everyone settling twice a day? Great - you've just set the max number of users at less than quarter-million.

Is that what you wanted? If not, perhaps you need to devote more thought.

I am no way political but use these fundamentals for trading and find out serious market players

Here is how it effects current markets





To follow change follow the banking empire

Where certain banks or heavily invested industry backed banks do not have a strangle hold there is a take over

Now this is where it gets interesting

Lets use puppet governments to enforce the bank use or trade

How many puppet governments are there, most backed by BIS, IMF, and central banks

What governments are not puppet governments or were Iraq, Libya, Russia etc etc etc

What governments are not real - North Korea Manchurian candidate run by the CIA

Follow the careers of Preston Bush and his sons and the links to Saudi Arabia and Banking

Now who else could be a Manchurian candidate - Mugabe

Who is verbally Attacking North Korea and who has been arrested - 11 Saudi princes and who just got overthrown Zimbabwe

Do you think someone is cleaning house

Well, you could settle your channels as frequently as you want if willing to pay the fee... but what I would do (or expect to do in the future) is opening a LN channel with one of the main hubs (call it coinbase/bitpay/blockstream/whatever) that have channels open with other main hubs and major retailers (ie starbucks). I mean, I won't open a channel directly to starbucks, I don't see the point.

The hub will probably settle the channel with Starbucks with a high frequency depending on volume and then share the fees+costs+profit between the multiple LN users.

Also, LN is not for those BIG transactions you mention, for those you use regular "blockchain" tx.
