Re: [PRE-ANN] deCLOUDs - The Precious Metals-Backed Crypto-Platform on BlockChain
i have asked several times several questions that need to be answered before investors adopt this coin.
and as normal the Dev is ignoring my questions. that is not good for investors of a new coin to get directly ignored simply because the question im asking is uncomfortable to answer.
as this coin is trying to merge into the crypto world and it is advertising it is backed by precious metals.
looking for proof of the backing is normal or it is simply backed by a picture of precious metals and the devs idea of precious metal backing is a picture on a webpage.
proof of backing is required

sorry but we need always some time in order to answer any question.
1. after sucesfull ICO well be registering a UK company with financial license
2. the nessesary amount of metals will be stored by UBS Bank (SWITZERLAND)
first you need to have a successful ICO ?
so i can presume that with the funds of that ICO you would be buying the Precious metals?
if the ICO is not fully successful the the metals are not going to be bought correct?
yes, correct the first we need to have successful ICO, if not the funds will be refunded to users.
Practically your launch is for the other people to buy at a higher then reasonable price your self invented crypto currency
your actual backing by precious metals are= you have none on any of those precisou metals
the picture on your OP represents 4 main precious metals that you do not have
selling your coin in a so called ICO and using some of the profits or proceeds to buy a small amount of precious metals
putting those metals "if you actually buy them and if you actually put them in a bank and all of this only if your ICO goes well.
in plain words your only backing is for others to send you cash so you can hold their money and do what you think is best ,when and where and how you want to.!
starting a OP with full deception is not a good idea
I assumed deCLOUDs would be backed by precious metals from day one after reading the thread's title. The dev should change the title to something that makes it clear no precious metals may be bought if the ICO doesn't raise enough. Otherwise more people might wrongly assume precious metals will be bought regardless of what the ICO raises.
Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion
short term looks bullish to me.
$700 on Bitfinex
Now $702, now $703
Short term is certainly bullish, the walls are being eaten fast and this is only the warm up for after the halving.
I believe NXT has all it need to surpass its ATH. In any case, there is a great future ahead for NXT 2.0.
I speculate that nxt might surpass its ATH by the middle of the month when the snapshots start. Buyers are starting to move the price up again, and by the middle of the month sellers will be drying up. Sellers after that will lose their chance to get nxt 2.0 ardor, and most of them won't want to miss out.
Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion
Higher lows? Last one went down to $702
made a higher high too so sounds about right.It all depends on what way ethereum is going. There is more volume in the eth/btc markets than the fiat/btc markets today. If ethereum goes down, bitcoin goes up, and vice versa. I went out when eth was at $15, when I got back it was at $10 and bitcoin was hitting a high of $790 on finex. When eth went back to $12 bitcoin crashed to $740, but it's going back up now eth is going back down.
Where did you hear the news from? Also, what is (s)he being charged with? Post a link or it's just a made up rumor.
Ironically in another thread there were people saying the attacker was planning to sue the ethereum and DAO devs if they try to change the code to stop him claiming the coins he has. The DAO rules say the code is the final decider in a legal dispute, and the code's rules allowed him to attack the DAO, so it could be argued the hack was legal.
===== BEGIN SIGNED MESSAGE =====
To the DAO and the Ethereum community,
I have carefully examined the code of The DAO and decided to participate after finding the feature where splitting is rewarded with additional ether. I have made use of this feature and have rightfully claimed 3,641,694 ether, and would like to thank the DAO for this reward. It is my understanding that the DAO code contains this feature to promote decentralization and encourage the creation of "child DAOs".
I am disappointed by those who are characterizing the use of this intentional feature as "theft". I am making use of this explicitly coded feature as per the smart contract terms and my law firm has advised me that my action is fully compliant with United States criminal and tort law. For reference please review the terms of the DAO:
"The terms of The DAO Creation are set forth in the smart contract code existing on the Ethereum blockchain at 0xbb9bc244d798123fde783fcc1c72d3bb8c189413. Nothing in this explanation of terms or in any other document or communication may modify or add any additional obligations or guarantees beyond those set forth in The DAOs code. Any and all explanatory terms or descriptions are merely offered for educational purposes and do not supercede or modify the express terms of The DAOs code set forth on the blockchain; to the extent you believe there to be any conflict or discrepancy between the descriptions offered here and the functionality of The DAOs code at 0xbb9bc244d798123fde783fcc1c72d3bb8c189413, The DAOs code controls and sets forth all terms of The DAO Creation."
A soft or hard fork would amount to seizure of my legitimate and rightful ether, claimed legally through the terms of a smart contract. Such fork would permanently and irrevocably ruin all confidence in not only Ethereum but also the in the field of smart contracts and blockchain technology. Many large Ethereum holders will dump their ether, and developers, researchers, and companies will leave Ethereum. Make no mistake: any fork, soft or hard, will further damage Ethereum and destroy its reputation and appeal.
I reserve all rights to take any and all legal action against any accomplices of illegitimate theft, freezing, or seizure of my legitimate ether, and am actively working with my law firm. Those accomplices will be receiving Cease and Desist notices in the mail shortly.
I hope this event becomes an valuable learning experience for the Ethereum community and wish you all the best of luck.
Yours truly,
"The Attacker"

Re: [ANN][LSK] Lisk | Blockchain Application Platform for JavaScript Developers
Lisk literally does whatever ETH does.
Look at the 24-graph of LISK and ETH.
They are the same, this is very creepy.
Yeh I noticed that as well it is strange. I would have thought the dollar would have left ETH and hedged to LSK but it doesn't seemed to have when the drama happened all support for LSK was pulled. Games are being played and it is cool to observe and stock up more as I go.
It's not only lisk, most alts crash when bitcoin goes up. There was a sea of red for most alts on the charts earlier, but they start recovering after bitcoin goes sideways for a while. A number of alts I'm holding have halved in price over the last few days, but they will go back to normal in time and that includes lisk.
It must be rumour because a majority of miners have to agree to any changes to the software. There is a plan to blacklist the hackers address and make the DAO a withdraw only contract in about 27 days. However, the majority of miners must agree to upgrade to new software that blacklists the hackers address first, and they might not agree to it as it sets a bad precedent.

He presents an interesting take. I didn't watch it all, but two early points.
He notes that the DAO *is* dead which is, of course, a pretty epic f-up.
He notes that there are only so many people who could have done this, 500 approx, meaning the hacker is not an outsider. I find this bit more worrying than anything else.
I'm an Ether holder btw so for me it is important this attacker is revealed pretty soon.

There was a thread with a post saying some ethereum miners were annoyed about the future switch to POS. There was speculation that had motivated an insider to hack the DAO for revenge. Some of the miners must have been earning giant returns and the threat of losing their source of income would horrify them.
Re: [ANN][LISK] Lisk | ICO | Decentralized Application & Sidechain Platform
Say, what is the Lisk coin design icon to go on http://coinmarketcap.com/?
Can you please put a link to the media image package in the original post?

I couldn't find a signature in the OP so I'm using one I copied from someone else.
Similarly, I couldn't find a link to the Lisk coin design icon in the OP, but i found a whole page fullof them in the Github.
https://github.com/LiskHQ/lisk-ui/tree/development/images
Would this image be appropriate for use on coinmarketcap? It's roughly the same size as the other design icons used for other coins on it.
The Signature is in the OP. For CoinMarketCap we specifically made a small icon. Here it is.
Edit: Seems like it is the same you linked. Your linked image didn't load for me before.
The first image URL I used was from Github and it didn't load on bitcointalk. I had to download it, then upload it to an image upload service to get a URL that worked. Bitcointalk doesn't like Github image links, which is strange as the whole forum's about crypto software.

Re: What happen if i change my password and my btc address on my account
The forum was hacked before last summer, and everyone with passwords below a specific strength was advised to change them. Most of the forum must have changed their passwords then, so nobody will care if you have changed yours. Everyone else has, including me.
While looking through the Bitcoin Github I stumbled across this page about Bitcoin Quality Assurance.
https://github.com/bitcoin/QA/
After some Googling I discovered that as part of Quality Assurance Bitcoin has Unit testing conducted on its code, and Edge cases are considered.
In simple terms what is Unit testing, and what are Edge cases?
Some other terms I don't understand concern writing test plans, writing test scenarios, and critical path testcases?
What do those terms mean, and what are they used for?

Re: Transactions taking very long time to Confirm on Weekends and Friday nights
The last six blocks were mined within 38 minutes, so the OP is partly wrong about transactions taking a long time to confirm on weekends. He was probably waiting a long time for his own transactions to confirm, then stopped watching confirmation times after his transactions were confirmed. Block times are always random, sometimes they are fast, and sometimes they are slow.
So when will this Xmas bubble start? Soon I hope 
Isn't it already in motion? Bitcoin price is more than $460 right now, 2 months ago it couldn't pierce the ceiling of $300 isn't it a bubble?But if you look at bitcoin price charts, year by year you will see certain similarities - around December EVERY year bitcoin price is rising in similar fashion.
And in January we have huge drop. Coincidence?
It's not a coincidence. Everyone's spent all their money by January, and they have to wait until the end of the month for their wages. Their only recourse is to sell some bitcoins to pay their bills till the end of the month. Hence we get a dump in January every year.
Dang, great infographic man.
What program did you use? The standard photoshop?
It's very well illustrated. Props to you.

I'm not sure it was the OP who produced this infographic (it could have been I don't know). It was featured in a recent Bitcoin Magazine article (and the cover of another magazine I forgot the name of): https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/bitcoin-is-growing-up-an-infographic-of-the-bitcoin-ecosystem-1447865097
I think the guy who runs this blog created it.

If you click the image link I posted and magnify it, then look at the bottom right corner you find this credit for the image.

This is the bottom of the image with the credit in the bottom right corner. If you check out the blog you can see the image's style matches the other work there.
And here's the original ecosystem image link from the bitpay site I posted earlier.

very well done, but can you reduce the size a bit and put the thing in a more compact way, buy using the right side?
it's a pain in the ass to even enter in this thread

The copy of it in the bitpay website uses this link which opens the image much smaller, zoomed out to the height of your browser window,

You have to click the magnify icon to make it the width of your browser window and use the right side scroll bar to view the full length, but I find easier to digest the information that way.
Lightning network will get coded now.
I listened the last bitcoin knowledge podcast where Joseph Poon said, they believe that around march 2016
it will be ready for testing.

Have they started coding the lightning network, and is there a github for it? I have read a lot about how great it will be but I have not read any references to the code written for it. If it's going to be ready for testing in march 2016 they must have started coding, but they might have kept the github secret.
Bitcoin is quite different from cash. It is traceable. So the authority will know the flow of bitcoin transaction.
the movements are traceable not the owner, cash is also traceable if you take it from atm, so unless you counterfeit it i can't see how cash is not traceable nowadays
If you buy something with cash from an ATM the change you get is untraceable. If you wanted to launder money from an ATM you could buy a small value thing with each bill separately until you had none of your original bills remaining. The change in smaller value blls would be untraceable.
i dont think we will see the launch of the Bitcoin ETF in jan2016. more like mid/end 2016.
I don't think we will see it before gemini is fully licensed in all American states, and that could take another half a year. Ideally gemini needs to be allowed to accept customers from any country before the ETF launches. Restricting their user base to only Americans will leave a gap in the market that some other business could fill.
