Looking at the latest 1001 blocks, I'm already seeing 200+ v4 blocks.

I'm using the latest one. The problem seemed to be related to the Ubuntu upgrade to 15.10.

I tried to run another pyqt to see if the same error happen. It didn't. However, when I tried run electrum after that, it worked! Weird. But it's ok now.

I got this error when I tried to open on Ubuntu 15.10:

$ electrum

Any ideas?

No, they don't.

The code is available so anyone can modify as they like. XT is a great example of how anyone can just fork, release a new code and (if the majority of miners like it) be the code that rules the network.

Only because some one wrote the code that the majority uses now, doesn't give any absolute power over what might happen next. Of course their saying has some influence, but the choice is still for the miners (individually) to make.

advchash.com works well for me.

Hello,

I've wrote this script [1] to help tracking the latest 1000 blocks in order to find how many of them are BitcoinXT blocks.

I know there is already websites like xtnodes.com or blocktrail.com which show in a pretty (with graphs) the (kind of) same information.

But sometimes those sites are off (due to DDoS attacks or whatever) and this script keeps a local database (sqlite) with all the latest 1000 blocks which makes easy to count how many XT blocks have been mined.

Tthe first time the script run, it will load the database with information about the latest 1000 blocks (takes some minutes), and from then on it will update with only the newer blocks, showing a summary using only the latest 1000 blocks.

Hope it helps those who prefer command line scripts!

Yeah. The future looks like the past...

And don't need to be that big... 3.7k coins to hit $372 from $347

Months? It would be a huge guess.

Weeks? Yes, looks like it.

At least the Year profit seems heading down.

I hope it raises 1M++

In theory yes. Nobody would use gold, but gold certificate instead. However, it would be difficult to get your gold back for very little amounts

I'd like to see that happen...

I don't think the same apply. We are much more global now. The effects could be better or worse.

Thank you for this. Very helpfull.

What if it does not happen?

I'd like the views from a economic point of view.

Does anyone have an idea on what happen if a country decide to go back to a Gold standard?

Imagine that there is no threat to this country come from the others. It's a middle sized economy.

Its economy would become strong. It would not be able to inflate there currency for obvious reason.

What are the pros and cons? A fly solo like this is even possible/imaginable?

I'm just curious to know what you guys think it might happens.

I see it as a way to create a ring of trust. You only "friend" someone you really trust! So friends of friends you trust should be trustworthy. It's a great way to create a decentralized network for trading. 

I believe the models receive in fiat (in the credit card, I suppose). But it wont take long to bitcoin become and option for withdrawal
