Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion
This lack of price movement has given rise to dread in my bullheart, but holding a price this high is damn good
Normally when there's a lack of price movement for a long time there's nobody posting in this thread. This time's different, there's people posting who haven't posted for months. That's bullish, if people haven't lost interest after a long period of stagnation it's a good sign.
Its hard enough to get me off my ass to catch pokemon, and thats fun, kinda, for now..
This type of distribution is just stupid. No one is going to get off their asses to collect coins that are worth no more than a fraction of a cent. Its a complete waste of time and it will die, like GEOcoin did.

You think that it's stupid to distribute the coins?
At Geocoin I don't see a mobile app...
How will it work? Will the Android wallet be connected to a centralised server, or will it be a standalone wallet running on each phone? Electrum's semi-centralised in that it contacts one of a number of servers to get access to the bitcoin blockchain. If your Android wallet's any more centralised than that I don't think it will be successful.
There's only five days left to get Nxt before the Ardor snapshots start. The price has stabilized for the last week but it won't last after the snapshots start. Nobody will be selling afterwards, and the buying will increase the price.
Nobody can say Ardor's distribution isn't fair, anyone can get a stake after buying Nxt before the snapshots end.

WAVES is also by the NXT team right? I think i heard something like that.
Not really by the NXT team. Waves is created by a few members of the Nxt Community (Coinomat).
for real? buhahaha
Waves copies a project called scorex that's not stable enough to be used as a coin. It's for devs to try new ideas out on. The scorex announcement thread warns cloners are selling it in ICOs and advises not to buy into them.
Scorex can switch between the Nxt consensus algo and the Qora consensus algo by changing one line of code. It's only for experiments, and intentionally not production-ready.
Is that why the waves "network" was shut down for over five hours today for "maintenance"?
Scorex is less than _4K lines of Scala code_. Transactions layer is as simple as just tokens transfers. Consensus algo could be switched easily(with two consensus algos out of the box, one could be replaced with an another with just one line of code edited!)
* Major coins forks are trying to make IPO immediately, often having just one or two pretty controversial features introduced. **Scorex is intentionally not production-ready**, so please participate in any non-commercial experiments built on top of it, but don't buy tokens unless you are 100+% sure what are you doing.
Features
* Two 100% Proof-of-Stake consensus algos out of the box, Nxt-like and Qora-like. One algo could be replaced with an another with just one line of code edited (in Constants.scala)

Bitcoin Core source code contains more 100K lines of code(80K of C++ only), Nxt is more than 45K line of Java code. All parts of the design(network/transactional/consensus protocols) are mixed in a hard way. So researchers and developers are not in good start positions to make experiments.
You must be kidding
This is from the scorex announcement thread OP. It says not to buy any ICOs based on it because it's intentionally not production-ready, and any clones (like waves) are identical apart from one or two controversial features.
Scorex comes with two consensus algos from Nxt and Qora that can be switched with a change to one line of code.
Scorex was made for devs to experiment on, it's not stable enough for use as a proper coin, and was never intended to be. That could be why the waves "network" was shut down for over five hours today for "maintenance".

There is currently a node maintenance. Will be back up in few hours at maximum

Quoting this so people can see the images as fushh is still a newbie, and newbie posted images don't show on bitcointalk.
I thought waves was decentralised, but if fushh is providing legit information it sounds like it's centralised. You can't switch off the bitcoin network for maintenance.
Your university campus probably uses a system called network address translation (NAT) to connect your computer to the internet. That makes up an internal network IP for each computer on the campus, and directs any traffic from the wider internet through a single IP address. Once the traffic hits the internal university campus network the NAT system redirects it to the internal network IPs for each computer on the campus.
I have not yet found a way to sync an altcoin wallet through any network using NAT, but if there is a way I would love to hear about it.

Too many MOON expectations, too many longs.
We must go down.
Bitcoin has only two options ,go to the moon or go down deep,as deep as the ocean.We must go down.
If you would to choose ,what would it be? And why..
For me im still hoping that bitcoin will fly into the moon.
There's another option besides going to the moon or going down as deep as the ocean. Going sideways is a third option. if you zoom the charts out sideways has already started. The price could stay in a $100 range for months.
I'd like to hear more of your predictions. I'm somewhat confident I low balled my month prediction since it already broke it.
Who can knows what will really happen? I usually look at facts. My prediction is that if speculation currently rules crypto, sky's the limit
... There is much more money in alts now than 2 years ago. So Nxt could really skyrocket imho!nxt has been a scam since it started, this is just another way to pump and dump it. You and I both know this.
Scam this, scam that. I forget everything is a scam here, NXT will never please that type of person. I didn't like the fact the original ICO deadline was modified with the original NXT launch, I can nit pick any of my investments. NXT 2 addresses one of my number one issues with distribution. If you choose not to get in before snapshots take place weeks from now, I don't know what else to say. I like the idea and support it. I rather see more approaches like this than the amount of ICOs that are bombarding BTT.
NXT 2.0 Ardor is the fairest way to distribute coins I am aware of. Anyone can buy Nxt, wait for the snapshots to start weeks from now, and hold for three months of snapshots. They get NXT 2.0 Ardor for the length of time they hold and the number of Nxt they bought.
If they change their minds they can sell their Nxt, and still be paid some NXT 2.0 Ardor for the time they held for.
If it was an ICO all investors money would be locked into the ICO for months, there would be no opportunities for second thoughts and claiming their money back.
If it was distributed by mining a few whale miners who owned ASICs would get all the coins and dump them on the market.
Well at least it shouldn't have any effect on the EUR currency
It will dont worry. But will take lots time.
Most will suffer London, then UK then EU.
London will for sure, no mater which path UK will take or like Switzerland or like Norway or like, ... , lost economy center of Europe. Most likely Frankfurt will take it over.
Berlin, Paris, and Amsterdam all claim they will take over and become the new European trading centre. They might all get some increased business, but I don't think any will exclusively take London's place. London's too well established, and if there are other exits from the EU business could start flocking back to London.
Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion
Anyone else having issues reaching Poloniex?
same here.....
People scrambling to dump their shitcoins. Polo is great until, it aint... and when volume is high, it aint.
People still margin trade there though
Looking at the markets everything except bitcoin is in a bloodbath. Everyone's dumping whatever they have for bitcoin because its doing its pre-halving warm up before it heads to the moon again. I could only half load the poloniex markets page, the chart wouldn't load for me.
I think the altcoin market was pumped by Chinese whales, and now they are dumping it to make money before their New Year holiday. They pump it every so often, and I don't think the state of bitcoin matters to them when they pump. They completely manipulate some altcoin markets.
Altcoins..pumped by Chinese Whales?
c'mon man...10 BTC worth of trade is enough to pump some of these Alts 1000%. BTC 'whales' aren't pumping Alts.
you need some more for the top altcoin, for the top 10 at least, 10 btc will not do anything
so yeah maybe some small whale is pumping the strongest altcoin, while bitcoin faces some stagnation
remember that money always moves, if you see stagnation in one place is because they are on something else
Ybcoin had over two million dollars pumped into it, and it only had that volume on Yuanbaohui and BTC38 which are both Chinese exchanges. Now the buy orders have built up its being dumped, its already lost half its peak value. Anyone with over two million dollars of bitcoins to pump a coin with is a whale in my book. Those same whales probably also speculate on bitcoin when its volatile. As you say money always moves.
Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion
The blocks are full again. I have been waiting a hell of a long time for a single confirmation. It took an hour to find one block, then the next few blocks afterwards were all full so my transaction's still in limbo. Until somebody fixes this I don't think the price will moon.
There are those who would say this to you:
Pay up or use PayPal.
I had no choice of the fee I paid because I withdrew from an exchange that doesn't let you control the fee. Now I have been waiting almost two hours for the first confirmation, and the last six blocks were all full. I would happily pay a higher fee if I could, but most exchanges don't let you choose your fee.
That percentage of full blocks on ChartBuddy is accurate today, I'd say 97% full is right.

Check if operating your business would classify you as a money transmitter as in American law. If your business would be classified as a money transmitter then it would need a license to operate in each American state it has customers in. if it did business with New York residents it would also need a Bit License. I think getting money transmitter licenses for all American states can cost over a million dollars per year.
Correct. The more fighting and discussion there is the lower the price will go. Hopefully we will not have to see an altcoin taking over Bitcoin's capitalization for a change to happen.
On the other hand you can see the present situation as a good buying opportunity. If a consensus is found and Bitcoin does not fall apart that will be a massive catalyst for a bull run.
Yeah, I doubt that's going to happen. Which one of the hundreds out there would one choose for a bitcoin replacement? Maybe a little bit of all of them? The altcoin market has cooled back down a lot in the past few days, and I'm not sure what was driving it anyway. I really don't think it was "fighting and discussion", I think it was speculation about the fighting and discussion done by people who were doing neither one of those things.On the other hand you can see the present situation as a good buying opportunity.

The OP was posted a month and a half ago when the price went 460+ and this board was full of threads predicting over-optimistic prices. When bitcoin crashes this board is full of threads predicting the death of bitcoin. The same trolls probably start both types of threads to trick us into buying or selling into the trolls orders.
i dont like blockchain.info's depiction of these bitcoin days destroyed..
sure its nice that moving all these coins is possible.. it proves that the system is functioning.
the question to ask is, to what end does this posturing reflect.

It tells us when a lot of old coins that haven't moved in years start moving. Often big timers store their bitcoins in an extra secure address called cold storage, then leave them there for years. When they decide to sell them they have to send them to an exchange, and that coin movement makes a big spike in the bitcoin days destroyed chart.
This one is not too bad either: 1131210 BTC

There were over a million bitcoins moved in that block today.
Someone could be preparing for a giant dump. Since I saw those bitcoins move I'm not sure the price will hold. It could have been an exchange or mining pool moving its funds around, and its not guaranteed they will be dumped, but if they are the price will suffer.
Re: When push comes to shove. How many % of the hash power will run "classic"?
I'm not sure if "Bitcoin Classic" will get 75% of the network processing power. Some big pools have said they will use it, but not enough to get it at 75%. Core has most of the developers behind it, and there will be too many pools that stick with it rather than trust the few developers controlling Classic.
