It’s ETH’s night to party.  God knows those buggers deserve to catch a break from $300.

I've posted this before. I wonder how it is possible for anyone who has read the official Bitcoin Cash's "Letter from the CEO" (link below), to keep supporting this joke of a coin...

It's mind-boggling to say the least. But then again, the brain is a complicated organ, that can often fail and make someone do all sort of weird things. "Live your own fantasy" as they say...

Haven’t seen that before.  Doesn’t change my opinion of them though (pack of lunatics).

This is just a risky AI experiment gone out of control ...

The differences are the Bitcoin Core has the advantage as being what the layperson thinks of as "bitcoin" and what most of the infrastructure is currently setup to interface with.  Bitcoin Cash has the advantage of low fees, reliable confirmation times, and the ability to scale to a global payment network.  

Good morning, Peter. Time for weekend thread trolling and BCH shilling? Here's the picture for you regarding Bitcoin fees and confirmation times:



Week after the peak of the attack we are back into 5-10 satoshies/byte territory. Honey badger just don't care.

And one thing for the amusement of the whole Bitcoinland, Jeff Garzik's panic-patch to enable S2X fork after all, these changes are the reason why they couldn't mine forked block:

Boy, what an embarrassment for those "skilled" developers.

Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin Core are equally centralized / decentralized.  Think about it.  How could they not be?  They both draw from the same pool of miners, the same pool of investors, the same pool of users, the same pool of businesses, and the same pool of developers.

Time will tell which version of bitcoin will win.

... come on, friends, do not quarrel. How small children . We wait, we will see. Let´s opinions to live. It's just opinions, not love.

Appeal to emotion. Fuck right off.

with you the emotions beat. Why do not you like me, darling? Not appeal to emotion, only idiom. Opinion variability is valuable.

utter nonsense

[bitserve]

Nobody is for censorship, but if you think you can have "discussion" with jbreher you are welcome to try it yourself. He just spams nonsense based on pulling what is being said out of context. That's reflected in his style of writing where he randomly quotes dozen of posts, and then using that to avoid any reasonable argument. If that kind of "discussion" is forced elsewhere it is not a loss, it's a gain IMHO.

+1 for moderators.

You can be your own moderator using the ignore button.

For the same purpose I use as example a Picasso's painting. It's just some dry paint on a board, total value $30, but it's worth millions. I like it because beside its price the number of picassos's painting is limited exactly like bitcoins, and the total capitalizations are alike.

I can make a digital copy of the Picasso painting and call it Picasso Cash. I even print the piece on an 8 times larger piece of canvas. This certainly reduces the value of the legacy Picasso painting to zero and makes me the true Picasso.

Excellent analogy!

Nice.... But it would have been way better if the monalisa of BCH were "ecce homo restoration" style (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/24/world/europe/botched-restoration-of-ecce-homo-fresco-shocks-spain.html). That's exactly how I do visualize that fork/code

I need something more reliable than kraken. Been trying to get a bog standard market order through for an hour. Is bitstamp a good choice for euros?

It's the best one, yep. The interface and the engine are lighting fast all the time. No margin though if that's what you are into.

... Bitstamp trades in $.

And also in Euro. Bistamp is, in fact, european exchange.

[OdalvHacked]

No and Yes. "We will receive SEPA transfers in EUR and will convert them to USD according to our bank exchange rates."
Bitstamp trades pair BTC/USD. Not pair BTC/EUR.

You can swith to BTC/EUR.

[Ibian]

Sounds perfect. Euros are pegged to my local currency, but dollar is not. Might be able to take advantage of that. Also arb between kraken and stamp.

of course, that is simple math. But the trades are i USD. BTW, we have in Europe not only euro. Euro is miserable currency.

as far as I know you can trade $ AND €. the € market is not really deep and it is hard to get larger orders through. it is separate from the $ marketplace

Yes, you are right.

You will send them the euros, and they will convert them to dollars. It is not trading in euro.

No. Stop spreading disinformation. If you have your account in euros everything goes in euros, deposit, withdrawals, trading...

Look:

Important notice

Your SEPA deposit will be credited in 1 - 3 business days. All funds transferred via this form, will be credited to the selected account balance. If you selected USD balance, your funds will be converted respectively. Check our current exchange rates here.

As my account is in EUR, it is USD what will be converted to EUR, not viceversa.

apparently this spammy posting noob character did not vacate the premises as Bob requested
a few pages back, ho hum........

... I like to see that I'm a popular here

yes it´s better.

I like it here, I will stay here. Are you happy, dear newbie?

I certainly do not intend to buy coffee for bitcoins. What is that nonsense?

... I think, John Trump is good prezident.

... is it Mr Putin?

... I no longer work, I'm a rentier. And you? What´s your profession?

here is a grando-psycho 

I never liked Mona Lisa. Slack hair, big nose, unattractive lips, And looks like her grandmother overall. Very asexual persona.

I am new here, but i have been reader here for long time. Recently i decided to sign up. I have question regarding bitcoin cash , Roger Ver and Jihan Wu and last saturday (1 week ago).

I read people accused those two for neat fall of bitcoin and big rise of bitcoin cash. Like i learn 2 methods were used.
1: mining: a lot of mining force was switched to bitcoin cash
2: big amount of "tiny trades"

Now i am not sure which one was more influental, 1 or 2, but if part 2 (large scale small trades) played big role (such thing happened i think also yesterday)....isnt there danger that a lot bigger guys (then Roger and Jihan) could do a lot more damage to fall of bitcoin (Hedge Funds), by rolling down bitcoin to buy it cheap
