3day chart seems to be drawing the perfect bubble...

In what way? Looks exactly like December 26th-28th, almost exactly where it is today except a bit higher. So, breaking bubbling upwards... again?

_{edit: further thoughts/ramblings, and grammar}

In the way the perfect anatomy of a bubble is described. Doesn't certainly mean we are going to crash. But currently it's not looking to bright.

Are these Mexico prices, brother. Are you still hitting the bricks soonish?

No. Just regular USD/CAD quotes from the usual sources.

I'm not going to Mexico until Thursday. That's why my presence here has been spotty lately. Busy making preps.

I hate selling any Bitcoin but I wanted some extra travel cash so I sold a little on Saturday. Not only did I luck out on catching a peak, but I got a great fee. Not only was it my first negative sell fee, it did it all in one transaction for one transaction fee.

Explain why you think that statement is true, and I will explain why you are wrong.

The graphic showed nodes which would be represented by the likes of Amazon, Bitcoin Exchanges and Banks as 'Massively connected Hubs'. Opening a channel with a massivly connected hub like Amazon, a bitcoin Exchange or a bank is more like depositing money with a bank than sending some bitcoin to another wallet, (a hot wallet if you like). I don't know how to explain it more clearly than that. Feel free to show me why I'm wrong. I'm often wrong about a great many things

Opening a channel is not the same as depositing money in a bank.
Depositing money implies you are trusting someone with your coins.
This is not the case, a channel is completely trustless.
In the entirety of a Lightning transaction there is no point at which an attacker can steal you coins. The worst that can happen, if they behave maliciously, is they force you to wait for a timeout, but at the end of the timeout you get all that is owed.
During the lifetime of a transaction and a channel, there is no point at which you need to trust any 3rd party.
If a 3rd party acts maliciously, they will effectively perform a denial of service attack upon you.
This DOS attack will damage the nodes/recipients reputation and so will probably not be a desirable course of action for them.
In the very rare instance where one is performed, you can simply make the transaction via a different route.

So I don't see how an comparison with a bank is valid.

Everyone needs to connect to the network via at least 1 node, possibly more, you are obviously going to connect to nodes with good onward connections, so the idea of hubs developing may well be valid, but the network topolgy claimed by Jonald Fyookball is completly unproven and the recent network diagrams from the Lightning testnet do not support it.


The big blockers have attacked Lightning at every turn, mostly without evidence and understanding, I suggest you retain an open mind until the network is up and running then we can judge it in reality.

Elaborate. There are multiple phases of a bubble, which do you see/think we are in? First sell off? Return to the mean? Both of those are right before great increases => bullish.

So far it does not compile unless you install libsodium.
Once it's compiling, it doesn't not run unless you find and install the very latest libsodium.so lib.
Once it's running, it doesn't download the blockchain, because I guess i am the only one on Earth to run this, or something.

That is all.

If you use Bither and bitpie you can get your BTW that way although they seem completely useless for the moment since there is no working Exchange to dump them.

thank you for this. I just don't trust Android or Iphones for that matter.

I wonder how bitpie managed to get connected to that blockchain without any source for a full node;

Do you guys remember SatoshiDice? It was all on-chain.

Then came PrimeDice, Rolling-Something, and Just-Dice. They are all off-chain. PD and JD are still around, and there are a dozen other off-chain casinos.

You buy your "poker chips" with 1 on-chain transaction. You play hundreds, or even thousands of times (or in my case, I actually did 1.3 million rolls). When you've finally lost it all, you can top up again with 1 on-chain transaction.

If you manage to win more than you began with, or you just want to stop, you can withdraw to "cold storage" with 1 on-chain transaction.

Except with LN, you can now fund/play any casino even if you first "deposited" with any other casino.


That's how I see it. Replace casino with purse.io / amazon / starblocks / coffee / walmart / microsoft / sony ps4 / bitpay / coinbase / steam / battlenet / etc.

There's also Bitcoin Candy, a new Bitcoin Cash fork.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2715832.0

It says this exchange will support it.

https://www.coinex.com/

However it sounds dubious as it somehow has a 1% premine, and I don't understand how a legit fork can have a premine.

Awesome info thanks! Fyi to any US people here, you can also use gate.io to get rid of your SBTC. Okex doesn't  allow anyone with a US cell phone to register.

Ahh..SD...1.3 mio rolls    You got it bad Dabs. Miss it terribly...another one I miss is SwC.  One of my fav dives from the way back machine.  Is that bitcoin tx bubble thingy still going? Used to stare at it for hours while listening to music and doing paperwork.

And regarding legacy accounts at bittrex..I went thru the same thing last year. But you can contact support via slack or email and establish a deposit/withdrawal limit that fits your portfolio.

*edit*

Found it..looks like it has evolved some...still fun.

cannot find a link for the bitcoin cash whitepaper. anyone?

Bleh..seems this is just Satoshi's.  Looking further..

AFAICT...BTC and BCH share the original Satoshi white paper. Which makes sense since BCH is just a clone. I have zero information as to what their roadmap looks like nor do I care tbh.

17% buyers fee ? -2% sellers fee ? That's outrageous !

You're getting fucked both ways !

Thanx, but Im trying to report the forks ready to be sold, complete wallet and working exchange.

It would never come to my mind to even use a hardware wallet. It seems like an unncessary excess. A bitcoin wallet is just a private key which consists of ~50 digits. Just write it down, remember it, or some combination of these. A hardware wallet just exposes you to more liability - what if the device is lost, stolen, fried, stops working, is hacked like this, etc. How do you even know the manufacturer doesn't have their own back doors for law enforcement or one day they wont just decide to take everyone's coins.

Oh, TERA2 you´ll have to read up, nobody can help you better, than yourself. Hardware wallets are a wonderfull thing, Just never, and i repeat: ever, buy a used one, can you do that ?
It´s not that difficult.

Exactly!!!!


And, don't buy a pre-set up one, either.  That will really have potential of screwing you.  On the other hand, if you had bought one that was "pre-set" up, it might still work to reset it, but it might not be worth the gamble in the event that the device had been tampered with in other ways, too.
