Massive battle of the bears

both BTC and altcoins, it will just not go down

Best parts about this notebook are the fanlessness and the great dolby atmos audio system. Big recommendation from me.

For me fans aren't an issue (I do not hear them). Sound is not an issue either: I watch 99% of my content without sound. If I do want sound, I do not rely on note book audio but simply plug in a $10+ headphone. So all my money goes to other features.

Personally, I am very interested in the 835 Snapdragon laptops from HP and Asus because of battery life. But in practice, I travel from wall plug to wall plug so battery life is no issue for me in real life. Biggest issue with notebooks is and remains to be: HDD storage is always too small in the end

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

Thieves...avoid.

 I was assimilated when they took over CAVirtex.

Been trying to get my coins off but it has been impossible to login today.  

edit:  and Hitbtc is also down for more than 24 hrs..   

 Finally was able to make a Bitcoin withdraw and the tx shows up on the network.  I'm done with Kraken.

Hey HairyMaclairy (from Donaldson's Dairy) thats interesting about the transaction volumes of the  coins.

I agree with some previous comments about segwit not delivering. Why implement and not use? It makes no sense. Are they really worried segwit isn't secure perhaps?

I'm done with kraken as soon as i manage to withdraw funds. Haven't prooved ID so can only withdraw tiny bits, after refreshing the withdraw page 20 times, once per day

Who stores pr0n anyway? 

Meanwhile, Bitcoin seems to form that particular stabilisation flag, waiting for the next leg higher. This thing simply does not want to go down.

Coinbase has not implemented Segwit.

Coinbase is withholding Bcash until 1 Jan. 

Both of those actions serve to support the price of Bcash.  Draw your own conclusions.

Another day of BTC doing almost 500K tx as per Blockchain.info.  This means that we are going to see another 20% spike in difficulty in a few days.  Even that Cryptokitties chain is doing almost 1 mio tx today.  Now even Bitmain's own BTC.com is rolling out Segwit wallet to pack more tx into blocks.  I have seen a few 4K+ tx blocks and lots of 3K+ tx blocks.

Given the nominal tx volume in fiat terms, our BTC is averaging out to about $60K fiat per tx vs Cryptokitties chain's less than $4K fiat per tx.  So despite what exchange volume might tell you, e.g. that pump-and-dump XRP's 6 billion+ trading volume.  BTC is actually seeing serious uses and moving lots of value around on the internet, as it is designed to.  

Edit.  Uhm..  by the way, that XRP has passed BCH in marketcap from the current pump....

The new year can't come soon enough.

I gave up trying to log in a loong time ago (last transaction was around the $600/btc range lol).  Honestly don't even remember what I have left there.  It's not much It wasn't much, but could be as much as 1 btc and a few hundred bucks.   Probably not that much, but I think I will wait for a new multi-slice toaster before I exercise that frustration again.

Is this the calm before the storm? I can feel an epic pump in my waters -we will talk about it for years to come....

If they planned on remaining in business you would think they would invest in scaling their service.

They got a huge boost by being named the US GOX claim clearinghouse...and squandered it.

Try again. Really.

[...] moving lots of value around on the internet, as it is designed to.  

Getting back to the core proposition of cryptocurrencies still makes me bullish like hell.

Just install a 1 TB SSD and carry a 4 TB external 2.5 inch HDD in your backpack. At the moment, this should be sufficent to store several blockchains. Most people will have less storage inside their PCs/home "networks".

[lightfoot]

reading the blocksize observer and watching bitcoin going sideways is boring.

Meanwhile I got me a new notebook. A fanless Huawei MateBook X. After like 10 years with a macbook pro I switched to a windows notebook.

Nice! I just picked up a pair of X1 Carbons myself for work. Damn near indestructible and I love the little nipple/trackpoint.

Hilarious.  From one shit coin to another.  Even funnier was the immediate pump to put Bcash back in third place. See that guys? Good coin control from Team Ver.

there is the candle I was looking for
