Bids are still growing while asks have remained relatively stable. Someone wave to Bob as we go by please...

Worried about cowboys chasing you?

The myopic diatribe that comes from the minds of some of these children bugs me.


OT

I for one hope we can all wave to Bob soon. He seems too stressed for someone on the brink of early retirement with a bag full of BTC. The man deserves some relaxation.

He does. And I think he will be all right very soon.
But I was slightly and nastily suggesting that Toxic might have a problem with the "some relaxation" issue while Bob's on horseback and his bf is away ;-)

By the way, I don't think calling the races of dark skinned people monkies will win many friends either. Knock that on the head my friend. .  

well apparently he won you as one , eh?

Implying I share the same attitude?

Huh?

Confusing because I didn't write </sarc> ?

Or maybe I really think black people are like monkies and was giving a subtle hint?

Or you just a bit too pedantic?

Such a minefield

no worries dude.
probably should've ended my post with    .
my bad

@mfort312   extrapolating those doubling floor dates and time periods could be quite interesting.  Instead of 90 what would 183(or any of the other previous numbers)days look like. Looking the exact dates is probably also worth investigation.

Well a quick slice and dice aligned by calendar year might reveal some trends. But I doubt calendar numerology will get you too far.

With the exception of 2014, every year ended higher than it started. The lowest prices of the year were in Jan/Feb and highest in Dec, but this has already been pointed out.

2014 is the only year that ended lower than it started. This was following 2013 which achieved three doubling floors prior to Mt Gox rise and fall.

2017 achieved four doublings floors if $10k holds... Let's hope 2018 doesn't follow 2014's trend!

Wouldnt you be?  I mean ffs..the man said no lube.

Zero problem. He is generous enough to share what he is experiencing with all of us. I think that is wonderful. Lol..Bob and I both know that I only wish the best for him. I take shots at him for probably the opposite of what you think. Because he is one of the best here able to take such repartee.

right?  and frankly, he looks terrifying in those chaps

What is your timeline for getting the LN node up Bob?

[iCEBREAKER]

Why does reading this thread today make me think of Hannah Arendt at the Eichmann trial?

I mean, if Eichman would have also been boastful and a goldbug, in addition to being an anti-semitic psychopath.

That's some superb virtue signaling you did there.  Abe Foxman couldn't have done a better job.

So are you a super cuckold or part of the monkey tribes entering my civilization to take/ruin our nice things and our beautiful women?

You intend to become a LN-bounty-hunter or there is another way of pulling coins from that thing ?

It's a good strategy when you have groups of people attempting to act as "white people stalkers" to follow them around and act as parasites on them.  Whites and asians seem to build the best civilizations, while most people regard white women as looking the best.  So the monkeys try to get into the white civilization to displace the white inhabitants and take their stuff + women.  You would need to be a super cuckold to want that to happen, so it seems like a good idea calling them monkeys to let them know they're not wanted to keep them out.  

Keep posting - it's actually refreshing to see comments like yours, since they are removed from facebook or twitter for being "hate speech", while the radical left advocates for violence against groups they don't like by playing victim.

I can't agree with your statement, since in the US, blacks were brought as slaves against their will, but I find it still more truthful (migrant crisis and forced multiculturalism, as examples) than the radical left's insanity.

By next weekend, with any luck. Hard drives arrived today. Expecting the server and RAM to arrive on Monday. End of second week in February at the latest before I'm live on mainnet.

right on, looking forward to hearing about that

I did want to urge you to not hook your channels up to the major nodes forming up; sleepyarc, spock, #reckless, etc but to small nodes.  If it is truly going to be a mesh and not a hub and spoke it is up to all of us to manifest it that way.

[realr0ach]

Are you trying to claim this statement isn't true?  It's probably the most factually accurate statement ever written:

It's a good strategy when you have groups of people attempting to act as "white people stalkers" to follow them around and act as parasites on them.  Whites and asians seem to build the best civilizations, while most people regard white women as looking the best.  So the monkeys try to get into the white civilization to displace the white inhabitants and take their stuff + women.  You would need to be a super cuckold to want that to happen, so it seems like a good idea calling them monkeys to let them know they're not wanted to keep them out.  

Well, it appears in the 17th and 18th centuries, they were more than wanted in the Americas. There was even a market set up to import them into the new colonies for labor.

Oh please, you should know better than trying to pull the slavery card on me.  That only works on delusional liberals that know zero about history.  Slavery isn't even a racial thing.  Every race has had slaves and there were more white slaves in Rome than there ever were black slaves in America.  I guess that means black people need to give whites reparations since whites had more slave relatives?

The blacks that have attempted to do the research claim the slave trade in America was mostly run by Jews, not whites, using the Jews own recordbooks to confirm it:

https://www.amazon.com/Secret-Relationship-Between-Blacks-Jews/dp/0963687700

That would make sense as the majority of Jews in the civil war were...drumroll...in the confederacy.  Who or what was responsible for slavery is irrelevent, though.  That is of no concern for people who were born in the 20th century. We only have the cards we are dealt and have to respond accordingly to wild monkeys roaming the streets trying to rape and murder everything they see like in this video Google attempts to artificially rig the views downwards on:

Black immigrants in France punch white girl in face for not sharing her telephone number
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxGCPuQY8As

The thing you are confused about is that most blacks in America are something like 20% white, so their behavior, IQ, and other features varies dramatically.  The ones they're importing from the Congo into places like France in that video are 100% black and just straight up murder monkeys.  You know, the same kind they have in South Africa where after they hold an election, whoever wins the election then goes from town to town cutting BOTH hands off of people who voted for the other party with a machete, men and women.

Anybody has a link to approximate hardware requirements to run LN?
Do you actually need RAID and lots of memory or reasonable PC is enough?

Another question: they usually say that original channel you establish is between entity A and entity B (Alice and Bob in examples), but could it be your account #1 and your account #2. To me, this would be cleaner.

It appears we are seeing some nice sidewaysish-upish action over the last 24 hours or so.

Gut check says this is a nice coiling going on right now. Hoping to make another move by Monday/Tues at this rate, ahead of a Wednesday meeting with my financial people, to sign paperwork getting the retirement plan started, ahead of schedule.

I'm starting to wrestle with introspective issues now, like, "How do I break it to my employer that I'm leaving, without nuking bridges ?"

Social politics suck.

I love you guys (no homo).

Thanks for being so chill and playfully understanding while I share and "struggle" with these first world problems on the WO thread.

Looking forward to many more years of posts about watching Bitcoin reach astronomical valuations, while aiming to run a "well respected and secured" LN node, and seeing how that works out for increasing my Bitcoin holdings into the future. I thought about naming it something obvious like "BobLawblawsHouseOfPants", but figure that's just asking for trouble.

May just try the whole daytarding thing.

Haven't decided between settling in the outskirts of Houston or Dallas, but looking towards Texas for their tax laws, cost of living, weather, lifestyle, and travel-hubs.

Driving 911's in the snow is just uncivilized.

 Why don't you ease into retirement?  Cut back your work-week gradually and in that way you can possibly ameliorate your resignation as well as acclimatize to the retired life.  Training your replacement might help with employer relations... even the offer of this when you tender your resignation would be positive even if they don't accept.

THE US ended the legal importation of slaves in like 1807. Most of them were brought here against their will when the colonies were under control of the Europeans. Don't try to lessen the European's culpability by blaming it on the damn Yankees. The Arabs and the Africans themselves had a role too.

It seems you are a bit more up on LN things than I am. I heard about an "autopilot" mode. I figure that's good enough to start ?

I believe the defaults are indeed set up to hook you to smaller nodes, yes.  Not sure I'm more up on it...just read some superficial stuff.

A raspberry pi is enough. Seriously!

Hardware Requirements

The following components are necessary:

    Raspberry Pi: version 2 or 3
    Micro SD card: 8 GB or more, incl. adapter to your regular computer
    USB power adapter: 5V/1.2A (more ampere is fine) + Micro USB cable
    External hard disk: 500 GB or more with dedicated power supply

Is there a guide to hardware/software setup somewhere?
I have some spare server hardware kicking around that I might use to set one up too.

Edit: lol Kart beat me to it.

A heads up on the airdrop situation. You can now sell a bunch of these fork directly through the latest Bitpie wallet on Android (must download the .apk).

You have to first move the coins to the "Pie Bank". Once they've received enough confirmations (schedule here) they'll be available on the exchange. To access said exchange, you have to select your coin from the main screen then tap the button along the bottom that looks like the refresh or recycling symbol. The orderbook takes a minute to load. You may then proceed to dump for BTC. You can withdraw to your wallet from the bank without ID verification.

At the moment, the only one worth dumping is BTP imho, which, at BTC0.0003 and a 1:10 ratio is fetching around 0.3% per BTC.
