but off-chain txs are an admission of failure, security and trust is compromised, it's not blockchain anymore, it's patch-up.

You forked off and we fuck off-chain.
Now spam that if you can.

[bitserve]

And let’s be clear, over 95% of my portfolio is hodl.   This is just fun.  It is a challenge to myself to see if I can beat buy and hold ROI over an extended period.  And I have no confidence in my ability to actually pull it off.

 I've often thought about playing with some "house money" daytarding, but then the whole short-term tax bullshit starts coming into play with the IRS, and after exchange fees and whatnot, I've just told myself to "Shut Up and HODL. It's not worth the aggravation." (Any BTC that I'm selling off right now is taxed as long-term gains.)

 And I must admit, part of me is a bit jealous that you have the time to daytard "for fun".

 If it wasn't for my retirement plans that I've set in motion, I might be convinced to play with 10 BTC 'fo shiggles, on some exchanges, but that shit be too stressful, yo.

 Full disclosure: I'm strongly considering doing the whole arbitrage thing with running a well-funded LN node when the time comes.

You are right that in your case it would not be advisable to trade. It would be a tax nightmare that could even force you to liquidate most of your stash.

Maybe you could do it under your "other half" account though if he isn't already a hodler.

Don't like ripple in any way but at least it is not intentionally malicious like blockstream
Glad they are deplored by everybody with a functioning brain

I am retarded

Yes.

[jojo69]

so guys

I just spent over 2 hours learning about hashgraph.  I am not shilling for anything, in fact I'm not even sure there is a way to "get in" on it.  They DO NOT have an ICO.  It looks like they are doing some really innovative platform/protocol work to build scaleable, secure, fair ledgers.

I seems to me that one of the founding tenets of the small block philosophy is the acceptance that bitcoin can not be all things to all people.  We will need robust real time ledgers for a multitude of uses, economic transactions being just one.

Not even going to link...not shilling...advising that it may be worth a look.

There is no mining.  Which tells me that the network is vulnerable to Sybil attacks because there is no cost to massive spam.  I have an open mind but would like to know how Iota deals with spam attacks.

it's a pretty deep dive

Yes.

Hmm why'd you change your "*sigh*" to a "Yes." Just didn't pack that punch you were looking for?

The paid, organized shilling of blockstream is traitorous to the principles espoused by Satoshi Nakamoto and the values this community was supposed to be founded on.

That's Fact. Historians will know this, plain as can be.

Looks like Chinese are buying ripple like crazy for some weird reason.  Not sure what's up but you can see BTC's market cap going down and Ripples going up. 

[AlcoHoDL]

Oh, how I'm looking forward to 20 years from now... It will be so satisfying to quote all those anti-Bitcoin posts from the recent breed of self-proclaimed prophets announcing Bitcoin's demise. Just like the Internet in the 80s and 90s, when it was all text and command line...

Keep posting anti-Bitcoiners. Verba volant, scripta manent.

Yes. No. We will see.

Look, if you are gonna shill, at least do it with style and with some (even if dubious) arguments like jbreher do. There is absolutely no point in just coming to this thread to vomit your anti-bitcoin statements. There is even less point in me trying to argue anything about your nonsense.

[txtravwill]

Upward sloping head and shoulder could break out here soon it seems, over $15,250 to ?  $15,750 if matches height...

[404Revolution]

I'm not here to argue because we know where the score falls. Those who have comitted to lying will continue. Those deceived by those lies will continue to believe them. And the reality will continue to be true.

Bitcointalk is a censored cesspool of deception and countries are actively seeking to ban such discussion forums.

Peace Out Fuckers

And may the odds ever be in your favor

[JimboToronto]

You can get a free upgrade to Win10 until 12/31 www.microsoft.com/accessibility/windows10upgrade

I had the impression that Jimbo actually wants his new laptop to have Windows 7! And so right he is...

I'm on Windows 7 and extremely satisfied. I'm going nowhere near a version number > 7 unless I absolutely have to.

Absolutely. That's the reason I chose this model. Win8 and Win10 are malware.

I managed to scrape together the cash to buy one of them without selling any coin. The other I'll get in a few days.

Pretty nice machine for the price... HP ProBook 450 G3 Notebook (W0S81UT#ABA)... Core-i5, 8GB DDR4, USB3, HDMI, and best of all, a Win7pro DVD in addition to the usual recovery stuff. Not high-end by any stretch but a serviceable "business class" laptop with a nice 15.6" 1080p display for under $700CAD.

I was surprised to see someone still selling a decent new system with Win7. I thought I might have to get a refurb to avoid Win8/10. It's getting harder to find a decent system with legacy BIOS and my trusty old Win7 (all versions) by the TheThingy doesn't work with EUFI systems.
______

It also includes a Win10 DVD as well but that can go straight into the trash. I hate malware.
