Not asking for too much but a little bit of a drop would be nice right about now. See if I can score a good deal before the pressure is too high.

I believe that the current pump has to do with MtGox withdrawal process. Here's more info: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=179586.msg11161910#msg11161910

Holy schmokes! The ungoxxing is happening  Shocked  So Sept 9th when people receive their funds, is everyone going to cash out, or will they do the free tradining? Should be interesting to see how this plays out.

Love Kraken. Do they even know what they're getting into? J/k they'll use it all as marketing.

Looks like they're (Gavin and Co.) going to go the BIP route, which I personally think is a good idea. There's discussion around the BIP happening right now (mainly on the mailinglist and on this github repo).

Are we gonna dip?  Huh

The stress test tomorrow might make us dip. They didn't have enough servers to run it properly last Monday and abandoned it after spending a few Bitcoins on transaction fees. They say they will be using more servers tomorrow which will let them do the full stress test.

Again, huh? I guess that's a sign a to send any transactions before the test. Last time the transaction mempool got pretty big and it took transactions quite some time to confirm.

Quoting myself from another thread:

-I was trying to buy something online (costing just 2-3$) with my greek visa, and the charge was getting rejected.
-Gas stations take only cash.
-Suppliers of stuff, take only cash as they are afraid of the consequences of accepting digital payments, and with that I include bank payments (they are afraid they will not be able to withdraw it, or their money could be bailed-in / converted to drachma etc etc).

There is in a sense a fungibility issue with the euro in Greece right now. Digital euros / bank euros "suck" as they are useless to transact. Cash euro is what counts for most people, even companies.

Times like these, you *realize*, not theoretically, but by living it, that you wouldn't trade your crypto for fiat and that crypto is immensely more useful (ie you can actually transact, when with digital cash / banks / cards etc you can't).

The sense of value increases in a way that is unexpected: I wouldn't trade a single BTC even if I was offered >1000 euro in the bank in these conditions. The euros in the bank are useless.


Thanks for that. In Spain the government is more likely to suck up to the EU and bend over for them, but it's still a possibility we could go this way.

Or they call them bits instead

Bits is the most ambiguous, confusing and useless monetary unit ever. Please. What's wrong with mBTC and uBTC - at least they make mathematical sense.

Spread is actually much bigger now almost $9, think the consensus is that when it happened few days before, someone was cashing out BTC for LTC pump

The rise was pretty steep over the weekend. A correction is not a bad thing. I don't think we will go below $270 though (totally gut-based prediction).

Bitfinex is showing positive percentages in 24h change.

But the price is not reflecting that increase.

I think something is off.

For example "Change 24h" showed  .5% increase when Bitcoin was at 279 and now it shows 1.5% at 277

Litcoin similarly showed a 6% increase at 3.87, and now at 3.84 it's showing a over 8% increase

What is going on here?

It's a moving range. It is possible to have a % increase even at a lower price depending on where the beginning of the range is. Is that what you mean?

Would be great to climb above $280 but for now it doesn't seem (to me) we have enough momentum for it. Very short term, I would not be surprised by a slight dip but I also don't think $270 will give. Flat-lining for now, hopefully we're just catching air for a more active Monday.

How much mike tyson will pump bitcoin ?

(i hope he will not make bitcoin KO  Grin )

He's got 4.9 million followers. All positive publicity & exposure is good right? Lets hope Mike's tweet gets people researching bitcoin & investing. Lord knows we need something to give us a push up.

My twitter stream is exploding with retweets, wtf.
Maybe it's just good to have a 'guy from the street' doing something with bitcoin.
It'll convince people that bitcoin is good, and dollar is bad.

Maybe 50 Cent could promote Bitcoin too - with a smirky grin on his face as he's claiming "bankruptcy".

Edit: He already accepted Bitcoin on his website for his last album.

Just watched Patrick Byrne's announcement.  Basically he announced "t0.com" (tee-zero), a registry for asset ownership that uses ~~the~~ a blockchain to record actual ownership of stocks and similar things.  He claims it will give shareholders actual ownership of the shares, and contrasted it with the current system, under which a shareholder does not actually own a share of the company, but only has an IOU from a privileged company that actually owns all the shares.

They are ging to use the Bitcoin blockchain at first, but he said something like "It is ledger agnostic - it can work on Bitcoin, on Ripple, and on another one we are working with but can't tell you yet".

Sounds pretty cool. It's sorta what I imagined after hearing the announcement of a "surprise" on Twitter. Good news!

Meanwhile, price dropping. My node tells me the mempool is 30k. Blockchain.info says 6k and Tradeblock (after a few refreshes) says 50k.

Okcoin is at 1693 CNY/BTC, which at the current rate of 6.43 CNY/USD comes to 263.3 USD. Maybe Bitcoinwisdom hasn't caught on that the Yuan has been devalued twice in two days.

Edit: What are you  referring to actually? Bitcoinwisdom is showing Huobi's price as 263 USD

It was showing at ~$274 a few hours ago. I guess they have updated it since then. I was pointing it out as the gap between them and Bitfinex seemed too big. All back to normal now.

So how do we know which exchanges and merchants are on which chain?

I support larger block sizes but this is a shitshow

Two chains can't co-exist for very long. If >75% have already chosen XT then the others will have to jump chain. Basically.

I personally lean towards XT because I find it a better solution than devs' deadlock, but I would have preferred BIP100 or some other solution.

I'm not sure that block is really an XT block.  It was mined by Slush pool, which is still creating all version 3 blocks.  That particular block has a bizarre version field for some reason.



It is an XT block. Sadly. Slush confirmed it, saying they allowing miners to choose and using v3 for core blocks and 536870919 for XT blocks.

No doubt the XT stuff is crashing the price, but could the worries that Agora has pulled an exit scam also be contributing to the price crash? It's been offline for a while now and some reddit threads are full of posts saying it's an exit scam. Agora must have a shit load of Bitcoins under its control.

That really sucks. I had some coins there a while back, I didn't purchase anything so I sent them back to myself. Was recently thinking of maybe sending some funds over that way. Glad I didn't. Still, I hope it's not an exit scam. Sad

Bitcoin XT is the only viable implementation of BIP 101

It is not.  Any miner can make a copy of XT and remove the patches that he objects to.  Or make a copy of Core and add only those XT patches that implement vote-triggered 8MB limit.

If you are not a miner, you (or any programmer you trust) can make a copy of Core, simply raise the size limit to 8 MB,  and start running that version any time before the fork actually happens.

I'm not sure the masses of adopters are gonna do this / or even know-care about the possibility. Vanilla XT is the intended norm.

there pretty much consensus about this, XT is a flop

XT has reached is goal imo to put more pressure. It has also brought out the worst in some people and pointed to some related problems (centralization of control over the places the community uses to communicate, for example).

I ran XT on my node for a while for exactly this reason. I never intended to blindly follow Hearns changes in the future and I think I'm not alone.



i really dont think gavin goal was simply put pressure, but it has worked out that way.

i wonder what will happen to him... not sure if the Core devs will take him back, if he can't dev bitcoin, what will he do?? GavinCoin is becoming a real possibility  Cheesy

So, how long do you guys think we'll last below $250? Do you think we can hold on to somewhere between $240 and $260 until sometime October? This range does definitely seem great for buying and HOLDING purposes.

I expect we will break out (up or down) of that range during September. I think lots of things could happen this month - mainly (1) some Bitcoin conferences/roundtables that could potentially advance the blocking debates and (2) stock market actions pending on political decisions.

Yep. Is there any way to just send that dust to the miners by making the full transaction the fee? Would that cancel out the size of the transaction?

Not sure. I guess that there has to be at least one output. But I'm pretty sure the transaction will still be huge regardless.

No matter how much proof Satoshi gives you guys, you'll still nitpick and find fault. No wonder he withdrew from this poisonous community.

Yeah, basically no amount of proof will ever be enough. But you must provide at least some proof for someone to be considered a candidate. We haven't seen any yet. We're told that he seems to control at least 1 (one) private key directly associated to Satoshi. But even this doesn't discard a real Satoshi having handed these keys to CW for whatever reason (eg. money). In fact, if I were Satoshi, I would have probably done something just like that a long time ago.
