BTCayyy DEATH!
weeee
what is dead?
Could possibly be a reason why Bitcoin's price is going down right now. Chaos is ensuing right now as other anonymous markets are shut down as well or closed their doors to new registrants as people flood to find alternatives.
NAILED IT AB SELLOFF KEEP CALM
Intersting - didn't hear that until now - thanks for the info =)
Just as a side note: do you have any idea what he´s talking about ?
Because i don´t
you are either shit at reading or 'pretending' to be dim...
ALPHABAY - GOOGLE IT - has shut down 'temporarily' for over a week with LOTS of users BTC, ETH, XMR....
clear enough??
i thought i did in the post you quoted.. by breaking the new, new ath
please explain how you can answer the question without answering the question AND asking a new one..?
fork it - 18/8 ftw
because iambatman stole 8/8... numerology
20th August...
Elwar, hold me!
I bet all those chumps who paid half a bitcoin for some bud from
Alpha Bay last year are kicking themselves about now...
I am.
except i used xmr.
but still...
Trouble is if your account is hacked you need to come back as a newbie. I am one of many even though i could prove ownership of my original account through bitcoin signing the admins didn’t even rrspond once to my many inquiries.
That is troubling. Had you previously registered a Bitcoin addy with your profile, from which you could sign a statement? And if so, did the mods just ignore ?
Yep. Not a peep from Theymos or Cyrus.
This was the link I sent to them
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=996318.msg21177226#msg21177226And the message I sent them was signed with the same BTC address.
Go figure?
welcome to the club.. i´m another ignored hacked account, ex-hero member
ditto.
hacked legendary - edgar account
verified and ignored by both theymos & cyrus.
twice.
the hacker/new owner wants paying upfront to return it but i cant risk losing more money over a pretty much pointless account.
Network protocols are not a democracy. They need near universal agreement in order to work.
The reason is simple:
If for every contentious choice, there was a 52% group that said "yes I like that" and a 48% group that said "I don't like that", then you have two protocols. In the second contentious choice for each fork, of similar dynamics (52-48), you have four protocols. In the third, you have eight protocols - which all do not recognize each other. If there were, say, 8 DNS protocols, your router wouldn't even know where to begin with in order to convert a name to an IP address...
Bitcoin is trying to compete with assets like Gold. You can't "fork" Gold or redefine what Gold is and that has value. Bitcoin's resistance to re-definition, likewise has value. Some people are trying hard to damage this resistance in order to say "see? Bitcoin is crap, it can be forked, it can be inflated through forks, uncertainty can be introduced on what fork will be the "right" one, etc etc... gold doesn't have all this bullshit, I'll stick with gold / stocks / fiat".
This is why all the forkers are cancer. They are undermining bitcoin, or are actively trying to control it, under any narrative like "bigger blocks". Even when they had their "big blocks" with BCH and the 8mb fork, now they are trying to take BTC to 8mb as well with S2X. Why don't they simply stick to BCH? It's simple: Because it was never about big blocks, it was about CONTROL.
Very well said!
... it's totally pathetic and beyond any reasonable or technical discussion. The infants didn't get their way, got their bottoms smacked and now want to pretend to play nice again.
(((who))) could be so pathetic & anti-humanity???
Hum. Didn't dump all my clonecoins, but still made what could be considered a pretty penny on the ones I did.
If shitcoins pump then I can sell them later. And if not, then bitcoin is going to keep winning and clonecoins will be there as an insurance. Either way, the future is bright.
That said, something still feels off to me. If this was all that the biggest attack on bitcoin to date could do, then... well we will see what we will see.
What happened on the weekend was Wave 1.
The BCH/BTC battle will play out over several more waves through the coming months.
sounds like an admission of intent.
how about focusing on your own affairs and not 'not' spamming our network...?
would your bcash look even more shitty if you stopped the mempool assault??
would it?
it would, wouldn't it...
in fact it does, doesn't it!
I heard a great quote the other day on a podcast, made me laugh.
The speaker said that the world current social events unfolding was "You know, like in that movie 'They Live'.... but instead of just the protagonist having the sunglasses, suddenly everyone has a pair."
Lest We Forget...
'Rowdy' Roddy Piper
He Showed Us The Way
Whales
I've never seen a Casascius in the flesh
I cut my teeth on doge coins with the groupies
And don't have no vanity address, in this Bitcoin boomtown,
no QR code envy
But every post's like Wall Street, futures, roller coaster to the moon,
blockchains, fake news, hashin' the mining boom,
We don't care, we're driving Teslas in our dreams.
But everybody's like bubble, black hat, shapeshift on your press release.
Jet planes, islands, Tethers are a conspiracy.
We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love of bears.
And we'll never be whales (Whales).
It don't run in our FUD,
That kind of bucks just ain't for us.
We crave a different kind of buzz.
Let me be your Bcash drooler (drooler),
You can call me a Ponzi
And baby I'll drool, I'll drool, I'll drool, I'll drool.
Let me live that fantasy.
My friends and I—we've cracked the code.
We count our satoshis on the train to the party.
And everyone who knows us knows that we're fine with this,
We didn't come from crypto
nice
now do glory and gore
So we're talking about transactions of $0.0015 each (tops). I wonder where they come from...
How can anyone support a coin whose team uses such methods?
how much does it work out that theyre spending on these attacks?
presumably they could get much much worse if they spent more...
