Looking forward to some quality Schnorr FUD from Jbear and crew.  

I don't know why you'd think that. I don't believe I have previously espoused an opinion on Schnorr sigs.

You basically said Schnorr signatures would do nothing to alleviate the scaling issue. That would qualify as an opinion.

Hmm. I guess you know more about my past postings than do I. Link?

Schnorr can obviously reduce the size of txs that have multiple elements. I wouldn't say that is 'nothing'. If this be shown to be a reversal of a previously held opinion, then so be it.

Of course, my final opinion would be driven by an analysis of not merely the benefits of Schnorr, but also its costs.

edit: Oh - I see you've added the link. Thank you. I shall quote:

Currently it would take over 30 years to send each person on earth a single Bitcoin transaction. Think about that.

Lightning does nothing to alleviate that.
Segwit does nothing to alleviate that.
Schnorr sigs does nothing to alleviate that.

True enough. If you wish to send every person on earth a single Bitcoin tx (e.g., perhaps to open an LN channel), it will take on the order of three decades. And Schnorr indeed does nothing to alleviate that. It is a true statement, and it is not identical to "Schnorr signatures would do nothing to alleviate the scaling issue".

Your assertion is shown to be false.

After re-reading your post I stand corrected on my interpretation and agree you were referring to a very extreme theoretical scenario where all the block space is used exclusively for opening channels for every person on earth.

I am glad to hear you agree that Schnorr signatures could have some impact on scaling improvement depending on circumstances.

Oh Fuck me, Bitserve.   You are much more gentlemanly than me or even the member that has such a username.... 

I understand that you were probably being a bit sarcastic, but think about a lot of these fucking troll nutjobs and bitcoin doomsdayers, they often take a scenario that has less than a 1% chance of occurring, and impliedly place it at much greater odds - and furthermore they presume that the development is kind of in a stasis and the evolution will occur in the coming days without tit and tat developments along the way to pretty much negate their pie in the sky supposed scenario from playing out.

The price of BTC is creeping up IMHO on the off chance that the SEC will approve the 'top heavy for the rich' ETF next month

The danger is, if that does NOT go thru...the price, again IMHO, will dump below 6k again

be cautious

stfu basher!! :\ you are such a self serving person i hope you lose your shirt shorting&distorting <<<

yeah right... maybe I should cry instead of laughing?

Certainly Searing is neither a basher, a short player nor a book talker. 

He does have a tendency to dwell on the possible negative outcomes, though.

I imagine that Searing has cupboards that are nicer than the houses of many folks, so you would be in quite nice dwellings, there.

... or is it really BlackRock, as some sources in the MSM say? If they're really checking out Bitcoin, as the rumor goes, we can bet our collective asses that we're due for another plunge. It's Conspiracy 101: they like their coins cheap.

The danger is, if that does NOT go thru...the price, again IMHO, will dump below 6k again

This applies even if it indeed BlackRock. Not that it matters that much.

Did you have to screen shot it to make that?

The daily 200 MA is falling pretty steeply these days. At this rate, it won't be much longer until it encounters the 50 MA for a golden cross.

Assuming the 50 MA flattens out around current prices, this would bring us to mid-September-ish. This is how it played out the last time we had a golden cross in 2015: the 200 MA fell to meet a flat 50 MA.

Following a more aggressive 50 MA trend from the recent bottom, it could even happen as early as mid-August-ish.

1 to 2 months. Right around when we expect some ETF news. Who wants to guess the date?

Straight Outta My Ass (tm) TA


Daily 50/200 MA

It's fine TA. Just a note, a lot of the bots use a 55 MA.



Go to the Golden Cross, have a nice cold pint and wait for this all to blow over

Credit where it's due*. I couldn't Lightning my way out of a paper bag. Maybe I should start.

But my skills are entirely other.
