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

[HairyMaclairy]

Yes kindly fuck off.  Everyone here has been through all the issues you are raising a hundred times. This isn’t a transaction cost observer thread. Please feel free to start your own.

I've been warning people about Kraken on here for months.

Thieves...avoid.

How is it that we can have all this, deeply embarrassing, charlatanism going on...and Bitcoin just keeps chillin' over $16K?

It's proof that bitcoin is serious business now. Like the hardest possible proof.

 I was assimilated when they took over CAVirtex.

BTW, AMD has the same kind of shit in its processors since 2015 or something.

We'll need open source processors from now on ...

RISC-V seems to be coming along nicely. https://hardware.slashdot.org/story/17/10/09/0019212/linux-now-has-its-first-open-source-risc-v-processor

Sideways for days - means we will go south soon... Watching this pattern for years now. Only one guy needs to start a dump and well be at 4 digits....

You mean we will be... OVER 9000?!1!?

The bears are itching their fingers? I would reconsider. CME will open in four days, some money might flow in, as the funds need to hold bitcoin themselves, in case someone need it delivered in futures.

Honey badger is just taking a nap.

142k Unconfirmed transactions and 380 sats/byte recommended fee.
Nothing to see here, Bitcoin is working well.

In r / bitcoin the problem is being discussed. It is becoming harder and harder to ignore the situation and pretend that nothing happens here.

My first bitcoin I bought around 15 dollars, today I could not start with an investment like that. And there are perhaps hundreds, or thousands of people who are preferring other currencies for that very reason.

Gab0:  we agreed less than three days ago that you weren’t going to come here and pretend to be concerned about block size.  How about you fuck off and take your concerns back to r/BTC

It is a fucking concern. Even if you, personally, are not concerned. We are rapidly approaching a limit to how many people can even use bitcoin, regardless of fee size.

Ibian:  if your solution is to give your own money to Roger Ver, may I suggest you reconsider.

We need to get Segwitting. I'm faintly appalled that it wasn't ready to roll from minute one in the Core wallet, let alone anywhere third party.

Lukejr is on record saying we ought not to be Segwitting until LN is ready. I'm not sure why, but there it is.

I was responding to a post, since deleted, that I neglected to quote bemoaning the unusability of the Kraken UI.

I have reiterated my personal experience numerous times, but will do so again.  If it saves one person it is worth being tiresome to those that are paying attention.

Kraken very suddenly suspended operations in my jurisdiction, A major and tech heavy US state.  I don't check foundation email addresses every day, or indeed always every week, and the suspension of support was rolled out with very short notice.  I found myself trapped on the wrong (fiat) side of a trade during a robust run up unable to stop loss as account privileges had been suspended.

Customer "support" was laughable.  I kept getting handed between teams, and the right hand clearly did not know what the left hand was doing, further, no one seemed to much care.

Kraken's business model is to pull the rug out from under selected customers and stonewall and feign helplessness until it doesn't matter.  Their obvious lack of investment in basic infrastructure should tell investors all they need to know.

My solution is to increase the block size. Aside from whatever else has been or will be done to it. It is necessary.

 Heh!  Yeah I deleted my post because it came between HairyMac telling Gab0 to fuck off or something to that effect.
...anyway, I said I couldn't access kraken and if I do manage to get logged in, once I try to do anything else, it chokes again.  It's totally unusable.
