Funding rates to borrow $BTC on Bitfinex hitting 100%+ annualized. This funding has rippled to Bitmex as well. At these rates, it takes a little over one month for a 10x short to get liquidated even if BTC doesn't move. A 50x short gets liquidated in under a week. https://twitter.com/zhusu/status/1122527945094905856

Bitcoin increases blocksize and shows it was indeed needing to have larger blocks (which then are filled with nonsense and can push nodes off)
Larger blocks are inanimate. Regardless of size, blocks do not have the power to 'push (so-called) nodes off' of anything. Bitcoin does not owe you a position in its network. Either expend the resources required, or drop to the side in your inability to keep up. Decision is fully yours. Own it.

I'd say "fuck it" and make some very high risk margin trades, figuring that I've prolly lost my money anyways. On the slim chance that Bitfinex gets through this and stays solvent, I could potentially come out with a huge windfall on funds that I had already written off. With the above thinking, it does not surprise me that there is a huge demand for margin on that platform at this moment.

BTC will not be able to increase the block size because in this case it will have to cancel the Seqwit, which will not allow the signed transactions from Satoshi's wallets to work in January 2020

a race to the bottom? just how big a datacenter and monthly cost will eventually be needed to run bsv with its "everything including the kitchen sink" philosophy? to the point only billionaires and humongous companies etc can afford it? is there any upper limit? i am genuinely curious.

Keeping blocks small shifts the balance in favor of Type 1, preventively.
By what mechanism? By pissing off the spammers. Not sure if serious. I don't quite see how raising the ire of The Bad Guys is any sort of basis for network security. If anything, it would seem counterproductive.

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) Mining Dominated by ‘Satoshi Nakamoto’ Around a week ago an unknown miner calling themselves Satoshi Nakamoto began hogging more than 35% of the BCH hashrate. By Monday morning their mining dominance on the Bitcoin Cash blockchain peaked as high as 44%. When a miner acquires 51% of a blockchain’s hashrate, they can launch double-spend attacks – essentially stealing Bitcoin Cash coins. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FeHneTuh.png&t=665&c=fpPBu3r20qJUCA) This unknown miner originally appeared a week ago under the name ‘BoomBoomBoom’, as detailed in this reddit post. There’s no way to prove that ‘BoomBoomBoom’ and ‘Satoshi Nakamoto’ are one and the same, however one disappeared when the other appeared, and the likelihood of two unknown miners suddenly hogging the hashrate within days of each other seems unlikely.

I know of no technical limitation that makes SegWit incompatible with a future block size increase.

Sorry for quoting the Roach, guys, but this may be worth a laugh. I was (passive-aggressively) amused. I feel left out.

I admit there is no easy criterion to tell one from the other onchain, after the fact.
QFT. If someone was moving funds back and forth repeatedly then that would be an obvious criterion for a spam transaction. Surely other metrics could identify other "easy criteria" for spam transactions. Given a random isolated transaction things look different though.
