I also regard Litecoin as old school serving the purpose of having useful differences such as faster transactions, using bcrypt instead of SHA256, etc., but sure, Bitcoin maxis are welcome to disagree.

-1 WO for that.
-2 WO for that one..
nope it has already been established that WOsMerit's are completely fungible...there will be no demeriting you are of course free to burn any awarded WOsMerit's thereby reducing the amounts in circulation and potentially increasing their value wait.. theres a BURN ADDY (or forum account number perhaps) that we can send merits to and be burnt? like if i want to merit JJG but am in a bad mood i can send a merit meant for him to a NULL type account? maybe we need a user named "merit burn" (or whatever) setup by theymos and its has but one post labeled BURN MERITS HERE in some section. you merit that post to burn them and explain why in thje thread. so. theres my totally stupid thought for the day. more to come of course.

Anyway solving a real-world problem and claiming to solve it are two different things. Until now we haven't seen any single such claim going through yet. I guess he was meaning real world problems, but you can put this to bitcoin as well. At least at aspects like transactional speed, usability on (many, small) endpoint devices with little computing power. There are some projects out there trying different approaches, i won't name any, so they can at least be called "serious" attempts of incorporating usage value. Several IOT solutions out there, in their early stages but with promising outlook. (EDIT: IF the developers don't mess up the security or code as itself) But it's true, Bitcoin can't solve every problem, as well as no other coin can, so that's why we have lightning, liquid and all the other little helpers coded around the original bitcoin standard (which fucktards like Roger V. and CSW claim to behold by upsizing blocksize - which is a retarded linear approach, imho), which makes sense to some extent (for me at least), while BTC, at its core is still "digital gold" for me. Doge is an exception, though, because the inventors always made no secret that it's a token-for-fun thing. But most "usecases" of various tokens are plain bullshit, imo. EDIT: And i didn't even mention the real scams in the cryptosphere! Well... right, at least two of them...

It is rare I will agree with whiney Cobra, but I do, in this case. His namecoin example is a good one. I have exactly one other coin that I believe offers something BTC cannot natively.
Just about all the rest of it??? ETH for example. All that functionality can be built atop BTC. Will it be? Or will ETH (or one of it's killers) continue to exist? Dunno.

Hello gentlemen. How have things been going?
A country accepts bitcoin as legal tender yet the price barely moves. I would have thought this would be a rocket launching event. The problem is that the market is figuring out how bad of an investment bitcoin is and how it's is definitely and indefinitely crashing. So lots of countries might make it legal tender, but the down trend will remain. In fact, we know that as more countries adopt bitcoin the lower the price will go.

You know I've heard about that for as long as I can remember "Anything ETH does can be built on top of BTC", why has this not happened yet if that is the case? Millionaires being born out of ETH on a weekly basis it feels like sometimes and I would imagine some or a lot of devs would just move to BTC if it were to be possible. Idk, just asking, don't care about this coin or that coin as long as I have daddy bitcoin

It's a little tired and repetitive now, just sayin. You might end up frightening the noobs away too, who might actually take you at your word. We won't hold it against you if you want to change tack and allow your true colors to shine through, though.

I just don't see that. Banks don't need small blocks to remain necessary.
FYI, small block force a side chain solution which is centralized and there in lies the problem. I just don't understand why dynamic blocks are just not discussed, it smells of agenda.

And Satoshi had not anticipated ASICS (who knows if that later Satoshi email is real where "he" talks about exactly that) and that changed EVERYTHING. It made the idea of the "validation node" important. Vitally important. We discovered by this tech that between hashing, and consensus validation the latter *might* be more important, though they go deeply hand in hand.
Maybe you should provide a link, cAPSLOCK, if you believe that either there is something important and relevant that satoshi supposedly said.. From what I recall, Satoshi disappeared around late 2010, but a lot of the BIG blocker disingenuine nonsense started to get worked up in late 2015 so it increasingly ramped up in the next couple of years without really going away completely even though it should have been clear that not ONLY was the issue resolved in such a way to show the BIG BLOCKERs as largely disingenuine retards, but also current BTC development is ongoingly finding balance in onchain and offchain transactions including having goals of having some of the fee market to develop around this matter to help to inform if there might be needs for tweaks that go above and beyond ongoing tweaks that are happening. Actually I believe it has been proven that Satoshi mined on custom fpga's. sorry no link this proves I sometimes wade through your massive posts JJG.

nope it has already been established that WOsMerit's are completely fungible...there will be no demeriting you are of course free to burn any awarded WOsMerit's thereby reducing the amounts in circulation and potentially increasing their value that is all Who died and left you as the WO consensus identifier? I'm gonna have to give you a -1 WO for that level of boldness, and might even have to amp it up to -1.5 WO for your horrible gif creation talents (if we might be so bold as to label as that?)... Since yesterday many people have told me... sent me pms, just saying.that's all. Hello gentlemen. How have things been going?
A country accepts bitcoin as legal tender yet the price barely moves. I would have thought this would be a rocket launching event. While we already know that fast moves upward don't usually sustain higher level prices. My sense was that we took the stairs up and the elevator down... and sure perceptions can vary. -1 WO for that.
-2 WO for that one..

so. theres my totally stupid thought for the day. more to come of course.
I agree. That is a pretty stupid thought... I am speculating that it could be in the top 50 of all time, at minimum. this proves I sometimes wade through your massive posts JJG.[/size]
You are braver than most, including yours truly. +1 WO for that one, to offset part of the -1.5 WO total tentatively pending re: toxicmoxic.

IIRC LTC was in responce to asic adoption as scrypt was thought to be asic resistant. but apparently they gave up on that fight and became another shit coin (still good to move funds between exchanges though: only real world usecase I know of). But there are still those that fight for decentralization, its just a harder battle than NGU peops are willing to fight. Namecoin got a death blow when there was a bug that allowed total takeover of the domain by a simple hack. I think it was fixed but I really didn't follow what has become since then. I think their uphill battle would have been to have ICANN acceptance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ckMG9mAd7s

this proves I sometimes wade through your massive posts JJG.
i believe he did know that gpus could hash, in fact i think he requested that programmers hold off on GPU hashing until the network got more established. i dont recall him mentioning anything about ASICSs, at least as we know them today.
