Vlad, you’ve only gotten crazier since you got here some 9 years ago.

Teaser alert!


http://cdn.batstrading.com/resources/press_releases/BATS_DirectEdge_Merger_Close_FINAL.pdf

http://www.marketswiki.com/wiki/ISE_Gemini

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-bitcoin-winklevoss-idUSKCN0ZF2Z2

Bats, a leading US Stock Market operator says it is planning to petition the Commission to try and make the Agency revert its position. Bats operates four stock exchanges in the U.S. – BZX Exchange, BYX Exchange, EDGA Exchange, and EDGX Exchange. The BZX Exchange (originally called Bats Exchange) became a registered national securities exchange in October 2008. The BYX Exchange was launched in October 2010 providing an additional liquidity pool for traders to access. In 2014, Bats merged with Direct Edge, a U.S. equities market operator that operated the EDGX and EDGA Exchanges. The combined Bats Global Markets enterprise is now the largest U.S. equities market operator on any given day.

I'll give you one guess as to who's directly involved in the entity mentioned above. If you guessed Robert Mercer, then you're very warm, but wrong. Please try again. Hint: RM has a married daughter.

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

FINALLY, an easy puzzle:  Sylvain Mirochnikoff.

I really like Rebekah!  Why can't I meet chicks like that?  They must not like the crazies.  Smiley

Randal A. Nardone, co-founder and COO of Fortress Investment Group, and his wife, Melani, sold their apartment at the Heritage at Trump Place at 240 Riverside Boulevard for $9 million to Sylvain Mirochnikoff and his wife, Xena Warrior Princess actress Rebekah Mercer. The “sprawling” open-floor-plan, river-view four-bedroom was listed by Corcoran’s David Chang. Mr. Mirochnikoff, an exotic equity derivatives trader at Morgan Stanley, and Ms. Mercer currently own the apartment above the Nardones’ double-unit condo, which would suggest the couple plan to combine the two floors.

Are you laying down next to your apple, Vlad, cuz here it comes ...

Quote
Fortress Investment Group, which became the first Wall Street company to declare an investment in Bitcoin, is rolling its holdings into a $150m hedge fund that is targeting investments from digital currency enthusiasts.

Fortress is swapping its $13m stash of Bitcoins as part of a deal that will hand it an equity stake in Pantera Capital Management, the manager of the three-month old Pantera Bitcoin Partners fund.

Benchmark, the California-based venture capital firm whose investments include Twitter and Snapchat, and Ribbit Capital are also taking equity stakes, Pantera announced on Tuesday.

Dude, why you giving me a conservative Amazonian's address?  You know I'm not well.

Bob Mercer, 70, is an enigmatic figure who has a reputation for rarely speaking publicly. Nearly everyone spoken to for this story used some variation of the word “brilliant” to describe him. There’s a touch of eccentricity, too; “I know a couple things you can bond with Bob Mercer over is he hates the Federal Reserve and loves model trains,” said one Republican operative who has worked on Mercer-backed initiatives. (Mercer once sued a model train manufacturer, alleging that he was overcharged for a model train set installed in Owl’s Nest, his expansive Long Island estate).

Would it surprise you to learn that the train outfit Mercer sued is directly connected to Satoshi Dorien Nakamoto and his train get-up in California?

Train sets and now Dorian too?  That's 5 pieces which is making me feel all crazy.

choo-choo motherfuckers!!

And what rhymes with train? Check out this building directly in front of Robert Mercer's house: https://www.google.com/maps/place/149+Harbor+Rd,+St+James,+NY+11780/@40.910926,-73.1619176,439m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x89e83eb5409d475f:0x2eadfd1d6da38884!8m2!3d40.911975!4d-73.160032


To recap, Mercer's Owl's Nest home faces south, and that airplane structure faces ... wait for it ... northwest as in North by Northwest, Northwest a now defunct airline.

For being part of Team Satoshi Nakamoto, I think Robert Mercer needs a bigger boat: http://www.boatinternational.com/yachts/editorial-features/sea-owl-the-personal-and-enchanting-62m-feadship--325 (if a genuis could have a boat built with no anchor, he surely could create something like Bitcoin, especially with having a hatred for the Federal Reserve)

I see what he did there. 

He left the same fingerprints all over the place in crypto!  But not on bitcoin.  If Mercer launched any coins I can guess which ones.

Zmuppets!

Zcash enters top 10 currencies by market-cap. 

Right.  Just like Dash and Monero, totally predictable.

Logic:  6 *cough* anonymous Zcash douches you never met are in charge of a *cough* super duper secret tumbler which hides your criminal bits and they [oh, totally] pinky swear to go to prison for you before giving the Feds any info on your true identity.

Common sense:  Are you that stupid to actually think this is even a remote possibility?

Conclusion:  I will feel no guilt when I ruin all of you for your blatant ignorance and reckless chasing after the wind.

I always felt iXcoin would be on one side and BTC on the other but I couldn't figure out which one China and Russia would choose.

The west are the colonists or colonies so that means the US and Europe will choose iXcoin and Russia and China will choose BTC.

The latter is eager to launch a new currency so I'd expect them to make the first move on Bitcoin leaving the U.S. little chance but to find an alternative, a twin.

That was my initial theory nearly 4 years ago.  And it's looking like the Chinese miners are ready to pounce.

Here's the same white paper on Adam Back's site: http://www.hashcash.org/papers/cuckoo.pdf

Here's John Tromp: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=207304

I'd employ a different proof-of-work that doesn't provide much benefit to GPUs/ASICs,
but rather depends on many gigabytes of memory (just for generating, not for verifying)

Well, that's what I'm trying to design right now:)

-John

Wanna take a guess on how many times John posted during normal working hours in NY while employed at Renaissance Technologies?

Are you ready for the Adam Back connection besides Hashcash et al.?

Meanwhile, some facts:

John Mercer hates the Fed.
Bitcoin is just an experiment.

Any questions?

Oh, and here's the NDA them crypto dudes would've had to abide my by [edit; see timestamp as to when]:

If asked if you're Satoshi Nakamoto, honestly reply with a no if alluded to being a singe entity.
If asked if you're part of Team Satoshi Nakamoto, reply with a lie - NO!

Teacher: Any questions?
Crypto Dude: Hey, when do I stop posting as SN?
Teacher: When we introduce WikiLeaks being a hornets nest.
Crypto Dude: What's a WikiLeaks?
Teacher: Just something we created to control the signals of which we here at RenTec profit from.

I just design the PoW. It's up to other people to launch new coins that use it:-)

They should go with a relatively long block interval though (10min), so they can increase the
memory requirement to 4GB or more (where running a single instance takes over a minute).

I'm also a proponent of fixed rewards, since the rate of lost coins is a probably a few percent,
so even a fixed reward coin can't remain inflationary for long.


Translated: Here's the results of what my employer, RenTec, allows me to do on my spare time - created a new algo for the crypto space and give it to them for free so that they can use my new algo in creating new coins where ... wait for it ... my employer with their super-duper signal machine thingy will trade said coins once they hit the exchanges that they may or may not control themselves. BRB, for I got to go and check how my Medallion Fund is doing. Back, as in Adam. It's doing swell. Thanks for asking.

WTF dude, you got any proof of this?  If these guys were for real you think they'd let Dr. Wright and the Chinese miners take over and destroy their plans?  I call BS.  Their yearly bonus alone could sink the Chinese miners yet I see no opposition. 

I think this is Bitcoin Core propaganda preparing to hire these guys are a credible plausible replacement/stand-in for Satoshi in an attempt to shut down Dr. Wright.

At least leave Mercer out of it; I don't like hunting down like minded spirits.
