Dood didn't you leave back at the beginning of 2014 pre winter too?

I'm not really following the logic behind the recently presented propaganda - the one portraying that this is some choice between having ads or embedded mining.

It's pretty apparent that both will be utilized concurrently.

Probably a better thread for this, but I'll look later.

Edit: actually upon realizing that the miner stuff may be steganographically embedded, I'd probably expect that the well-to-do ad server would spearhead the efforts to adopt browser mining, and ultimately one technology will simply absorb the other.

This reeks of pseudo ICO fuckery. Guy makes a video then says don't trust him or anything you read on the internet then a couple months later he wants half a million dollars because reasons 'n stuff.

It's been five years and I haven't yet witnessed this aggregate market become largely fragmented. What kind of message would be sent if icos could be successfully targeted, regulated and stopped?

Even with the last decline from 2014 to now the market and it's induced segmentations remained quite unified overall with regards to overall price movements.

Even those cryptocurrencies totally devoid of any unique programming have managed to be dragged along with the rest of the tide.

I am first and foremost all for the prevention of icos becoming hypernormalized but with the sec and other financial regulations bearing down on the market, being put up against a new bound in technology, exactly what could they do currently and what ways would they take in which to get it done?

I mean, specifically, where does the sec derive its power from? If its basically policing the entrances, exits and houses under which regulated trade is conducted then they will necessarily be in for a coming adaption.

This technology has the proven ability to entirely displace existing company share distribution (securities as we know them) and exchange methods currently exercised and its medium isn't necessarily secured by a lawful third party designate or human-tended balance sheets. It's secured by a ledger that isn't exactly under their thumbs as nearly as much as a physical construct in which sheets are exchanged.

While I agree that playing nice with existing financial constructs will enhance diffusion into the psychological and physical norms, there is an even gnarlier gap in existing legislation for this market. Effectively - I'm expecting that it really will be 10-20 years before some even begin to catch up wrt to legislation.

What type of statutes limit them past decades? Does it go as far as social security in basically wrecking intergenerational wealth paradigms? Can they demand reparations from a likely well off progeny if there's nobody else to go after?

Also exactly how does any of this fit in with the debt crisis vs hyperinflating dollar if both crypto legislation and hyperinflation occur in 15-20 years?

Personally I don't think the SEC will be able to keep up, but whatever is formed to regulate the likely coming one world currency will. So how would that play out?

There is a certain art to value distillation and whale flushing, and china seems to be masterful in this craft

They're looking to be a while out there, but there are solid use cases that will absolutely require decentralized storage for progression to continue.

Possibly the most important potential applications, IMO, of decentralized storage can be found browsing the articles on sites like this:

A few in particular:

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of ICO's. For every one good ICO, there are easily 20+ that are just there to ultimately steal money. It's just what's historically happened, and I'm not a big fan of anyone that wants my money.

More importantly are the questions - will the money that was in the ICO business-startup funding market find its way to a new one now? Or will the combination of the afflicted be looking to diversify outside of crypto?

Or will this be like cutting the head off a hydra, ultimately proving the legislation to be ineffective?

Regardless, I would expect that capital outflow from china will continue in some way.

This is possibly the best news I've read in months.

Really the only thing that happened today was the removal of a gangrenous toxic appendage that was beginning to decay the core of crypto.

So many scams are going to wither away now.

Additionally, it allowed the formation of a correction/consolidation phase that was quite sorely needed IMO.

Whether the market is cauterized or allowed to heal, I don't know.

I'm glad to read that this is considered a good intermediate scaling solution, where the end user might not even know what a sia is.

Doubtful.

Who would spike a price 80% in a months time for 5x 100 Monero?

At the time this was about $50 usd each.

Basically you'd be better off pumping some other shitcoin.

Even now at 130 usd, this still barely pays to spend the time on it.

You'd be better off considering that the ethereum narrative has been portraying a move toward pos. Whales aren't just going to let their miners idle into obscurity.

Honeythimble at best.

Lol reminds me of https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=348058

No mystery here, for at least 2.6 more years. I might try to trade some volatility though.

Congratulations on the opening. Someone should update the description of m3 so that it at least doesn't reflect that it's saddams depo

Oh my, excellent allocations

Although I would have given iota at least a .3

All those lucky people being offered reliable access to reasonably priced Monero, I am happy they will have ample opportunity in which to afford themselves a bit of something good and real. If anything else, I hope they get it for a little cheaper (and me too)

One current example that may be relevant:

Do consumers prefer ISP's with plans offering unlimited data or do they settle for a data cap?

I am finding an increasing amount of people can't keep under a few gigabytes a month, where just years ago, the same people could do without.

Obviously a simplification, but being able to pass only 100Gb a month through my ISP seems just as barbaric as being able to pass only ~4.4 Gb a month with bitcoin.

The isp would probably just throttle my connection, maybe charge me overage costs. In bitcoin I would have to pay increasing tx fees, to prevent the speed at which my tx passes to not be throttled. If my isp were to charge too much, I would look at a second ISP. If bitcoin were to charge too much, I would look for a different way to pay, like another blockchain or payment processor.

Apparently of being stuck at that price.

Which is also not really a problem, at least it's not going up today, time is now much more valuable as a consequence.

Apologies, I was having a drink when writing that. I agree, and would in fact love an opportunity to sell a kidney if Monero hit 2.50 ever again. Mostly I was just trying to point out that when it comes to talking down Monero, most people are quite lacking.

Specifically in this latest iteration, I can't imagine a situation where Shelby wasn't capable of linking the facts that there is no zero subsidy in Monero, and there is also an adaptive block size, I give him far more credit than that.

So, I am left with the only thought left, which is that Shelby is once again trying to fleece newbs, like bcx did with his 'monero exploit' two and a half years ago or so.

See correction in bold

lol let's just say i'm a particularly bad mariner

I put up a thread on the forums and will probably join slack soon, and of course I'll be playing with the software next. Pretty sure I've got a wallet file somewhere too.

Thanks for your help!
