Block size debate will rumble on & on for a while yet. Don't expect it to be resolved quickly. Stability in the price is good, it makes bitcoin more attractive to noob investors.

Let's hope it isn't too long before the next leg up, with or without news on block size.

Think so?
I'm a bit new to all this but it seemed not to be the most complicated evolution of the code. Why should it take lots of time?

Consensus my friend.

Lots of bull shit politics.

Yeah ok but it can go really quick and smooth if everyone reach a consensus.

Which means btc is relatively safe cause if price drops too much and frighten miners, the consensus will be reached much faster I think xD

Good luck to them trying to find a way of enforcing that Grin

Just like in the US they would focus on the exchanges.

What? Btc exchange are forbidden in the US? Then how am I buying and selling my btc?

The EC are concerned about the perceived anonymity of BTC transactions. US exchanges have AML/KYC measures in place - transactions aren't anonymous.

Ah ok.
Well I don't know how they would want to do it. Yes exchanges are not anonymous, but you don't use exchange if you want anonymous. You pays and receive in btc and if you want cash you go through local bitcoin  Grin

Yeah, this is all kinda expected, it's really bringing exchanges in Europe in-line with exchanges in the US. And, as you say, people can still use localbitcoin or exchanges outside the EU (and the US). I suspect, though, that this is just the beginning (in the EU) - localbitcoin is already under attack in the US (Burt W here on BCT, for example) and I imagine it's just a matter of time before the EU clamp down on it because TERRORISM. AND DRUGS. And because the €500 note was feelin unloved.

Bah, we already know that using exchange is not anonymous. Most exchange ask for some ID proof already, at least to exchange significant amounts!
It won't even hurt bitcoin  Grin

don't forget everyone! BITCOIN CANNOT SCALE! until it does then it still doesn't ... its only been EIGHT MONTHS of arguing over it. #GimpedCoin

Technological progress actually ...ensures that bitcoin not only can scale, but will indeed scale. It's not a matter of if, only a matter of when.

1995 = Pentium 75-100MHz / 8-16MB ram / 1-2GB disks / 14.4kbps - 128kbps connections.
2015 = 4-8core CPUs at 4 GHz / 4-16GB ram / 1-4 TB disks / home connections in the mbps to gbps (for fiber).

Everything has gone upwards like 1000x in 20 years. Processing power, memory, storage, network connections etc. And I'm not counting processing breakthroughs in GPU power or storage speedup like SSDs.

If the trend continues, by 2035 the technology will allow >5000tx/sec, without even improving the software. If the software gets improved (and it constantly is getting scaling improvements), we are talking multiple that - so we'll be seeing VISA-like capabilities way before the 2030's.

Bitcoin is ...doomed to scale, except if some catastrophic failure of our civilization destroys the IT industry. And we won't have to wait for 2035 for scaling, that's just a number. There are incremental steps in hardware and network capabilities all the time. We just want too much, too fast. And that's good because scaling solutions will have to be devised faster. Although one thing will never be overcome: The necessity for fees. It is impossible to have near-zero cost txs AND protect the network for abuse at the same time.

Free txs = attack vector possible for free.
Near free txs = attack vector possible for peanuts.


Hmm...
You know it's really putting your faith in technology evolution and respect of the Moore law...

But experience is showing that Moore law is reaching a limit. The base of Moore principle is that the more time passes, the smaller electronic elements become. But we're reaching a point where you cant get any smaller! It becomes harder and harder and we'll eventually reach a physical limit: you can't go small enough to reach the nanometer. At this scale physics as we know no longer exists...

Moore's Law is a straw man - the previous poster was talking about general technological progress, not the much more narrow Moore's Law. A limit to component density didn't prevent technological development in the centuries before Gordon Moore, and there's no reason to suspect it'll stop simply when integrated circuitry reaches a physical limit.

Well I understand your point but I'd say it's totally flawed.
It's not because it had happened that it will actually happen  Cheesy

I wouldn't be incredibly shocked if in 10 years scientists would explain that we reached a point in IT where development can't really go any further. You're still limited to physic, and if you can't make smaller elements... What can you do?

Oh maybe in only 3 days someone is going to come with a revolution in science and explain something that will allow us to use a 1000times better internet/PC. But it's not because it has, and it can, that it will  Smiley

Well... you can:
A revolution in 3 days isn't necessary. Technological developments that speed our processing power and increase our bandwidth happen all the time, and are not tightly coupled to component density. They tend not to yield 1000x improvements, but they compound together over time to achieve something pretty spectacular. The shift from CISC to RISC CPUs, for example, reduced the complexity of CPUs (and hence the number of components they required), allowing more powerful computers - it wasn't necessary for component density to increase, because the number of components was *decreasing*. The shift from HDDs to SSDs has increased bandwidth. Wi-fi gets faster with every generation, and that's (broadly) using tech that's familiar to radio engineers from back in the day.

I'm not saying that Moore's Law didn't happen, that it was a bad thing, or anything like that. What I'm saying is that reaching a limit to the number of components we can put on a piece of silicon is not going to bring an end to technological development in general, or to IT in particular. Bitcoin is safe.

I'd say that you're rather right.
But being confident in the increase of IT performances doesn't mean it HAS to happen ^^

Bitcoin SHOULD be safe. But it doesn't need an apocalypse in IT sector to be endangered, just a freezing in evolution Smiley

Oh yeas! We broke the 380 again! So glad to see that!

I know it's not much and doesn't mean a lot but I'm happy to see a small rise. Just because I found the down-only trend a bit depressing.

Hold your fiat.

Quote me.


But I closed my short 2 days ago and went long because we're about to test 430 something.
And then drop to 300 something,.. in may.

So no mayhem soon...

You think we'll drop at 300 in may? Why?

I mean the trends seems rather stable to me. Of course the usual up and down but going down until 300 means there is some serious shit! It's a really risky price and I don't think we'll reach it without a very valid reason!

The facts:
If half a million people wanted to send a single bitcoin to another address the same day, THEY COULD NOT ALL DO IT, NO MATTER HOW HIGH A FEE THEY PAID.

People know this and so we do not buy bitcoin. This is why the price is falling. Price will continue to fall or stagnate until capacity is raised.

What? I was not aware the scaling problem was so high!

Why are most people saying that everything is fine and that scaling will come then? It's really not going to help bitcoin adoption! Especially considering how many transaction are made everyday that are "automatic transactions" like faucets or games that are added to the human exchanges.

wait and see we will comeback to $380 then $390 then stable at $400
keep holding your bitcoin  Cool


Yeah, but the quantity of volume in the past dump makes me wonder if we may drop into the mid to upper $360s before returning upwards?

We have all weekend, no?



Is it true that there is always a drop point in weekends? Never looked at that...

We are nowhere close to "everything will suck soon" tm. You guys have been saying that for a year now btw.

Actually several years. We've been repeatedly pointing at the same stupid, unnecessary hard ceiling, and pointing out that the inexorable trend of increasing transactions has us on a clear intersect.

In the meantime, we have recently gone from things never sucking in regards to capacity, to things sucking for brief flashes of time. The issue is not how much one needs to pay to get a transaction through, the issue is that with the current block size, no more than about 350,000 transactions can be processed in a day. Period. No matter how much money is thrown at the transactions.

Here's what those two non-parallel lines would look like if the bump to 2MB occurs May 1:



Thanks! This is still the best graph.

Yes, this is still the best meaningless graph, Andre#.

You are so "spot on" lately. Grin

I am, indeed.  Cheesy

Wahou wahou wahou!

Thanks for the graph indeed, it's a good way to see things.

But what I get from this graph is that 2mb blocks would be a very temporary solution no? Is it only me?
Cause it seems like even if we go to 2mb it'll last for a few months maybe a year or two before we need another action taken.

You can't win, smallblockers. It doesn't matter who you DDoS or what other dirty tricks you pull, when the market tanks, the miners will switch to big block code.

From the graph Andre pointed at, I don't see the point of going to 2Mb.

It seems like growing at 2Mb won't change anything, it'll grant only a few months/years of time but not much more.

No, you are right, if this is what the consensus is, then thats what it is.

I'm worried that it seems the impetus is to cut it off before it can be established by the means with which it was originally intended to be reached - by running the software of your choice.

What I see (and understand) is that it seems to be a good thing that BTC community reaches a consensus.

I don't really care about the finality simply because I don't understand it. I don't know why btc classic or anything else should be implemented, and as far as I'm trying I still don't see an obvious solution.

But I'm glad to see the community will back one same solution, and not just go in 3 opposites directions.

I look forward to Lightning Network if it works as we all hope it does. Hopefully it only requires soft forks to implement.

I'd love to run a lightning node and charge a few bit cents for running it to have a small income from my holdings.

I was not aware of that!
It means you could get rewarded for running a node?
That would help decentralization of nodes no doubt. But I don't think I get it right, does it cost anything to run a node? i mean you do that on an average normal computer no?

An argument like that will never be presented "we want more coins and high inflation for the lolz".

It will be presented as "we want cheap txs".... Arguments like "People want cheap txs, who are you to stop that".... Populist bullshit like "bigger blocks" and the "dangers" of "fullblockalypse".

There is no comparison between a hard fork to raise the blocksize and a hard fork to increase the 21 milion cap on supply. The former is a minor property that almost everyone agrees will need to be changed at some point. I owned Bitcoins for years before I even know there was a max blocksize.  I knew of the 21 MM limit before I bought my first coin.  

A slippery slope argument is a logical fallacy.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slippery_slope

Dude increasing the 21 M limit and increasing the block size is the same thing.

What? Whaaaaaat?
I'm clearly not aware of that! What are you talking about? What's the link between block size and coins cap?

On the next reward halving hundreds of millions of dollars in obsolete mining hardware will be sold cheaply privately or online. This will open a window of vulnerability giving an attacker the possibility to buy a huge amount of hashing power for very little money and execute a 51% attack.

 Embarrassed

Right, or simply a mega factory mine which hasn't bought into the latest generation gear & is stuck with hangars already built out & running.
Unable to mine by the rules, so no longer invested in BTC, but able to form an axis of evol with other newly-obsoleted factory mines & wreak havoc Shocked

This is a very strange experiment.


If I had the money I’d probably do it just for sport. And I like Bitcoin. Undecided

Good morning Bitcoinland.

I see we're still hovering around $420. At least $400 seems to be holding (for now).

After a week and a half of pretty steady price rise, you'd think we'd see a slight correction but maybe this rise isn't done quite yet.

Come on Bitcoin, let's keep this moving up.

Well we should maybe stop moving up and get some stability on the 415 ^^

When the 415 floor will be strong enough, yeah let's move up again!

nothing is offical but is seems to have played out like we were hoping

we'll get segwit and 2MB later, they should be setting a date for HF as we speak!
so increasing the block limit with a hard fork is actually good? wont it have negative effect on price because of the 2 chains that will be created?

Anything from 0.02$+ confirms fast, as proved, and even 0.01$ confirms in a few hours.

Again: This is ridiculously low fees. The fact that transactions are even included at these rates is a market failure of shorts.

Question of point of view. 1 cent for a 1$ tx is 1%. Not a ridiculous amount.

You can have 250.000 txs per day moving around 1 dollar on avg (daily volume = 250k$), or you could be moving 1000$ (daily volume = 250mn $).

It's a choice.

And scaling can't go 1000x - I mean Gavin can't come up with 1GB blocks to produce 250mn transactions per day of avg 1 dollar.

I see your point. But BTC is not used for massive tx. In fact its reputation is rather the contrary: being able to send small amounts to people. This comes from all the faucets and ponzi shits.

That's it. I'm getting back into altcoins. Thanks Blockstream!!


Yeah.. .thanks Obama.    Angry Angry Angry


By the way, which possible alts are you gonna try out?  I may follow your lead... because this bitcoin governance is just bullshit and seems to be taking way too long in causing bitcoin to become the dominant world currency...

We gotta just figure out to which coyn are we gonna go? 


There are nearly 700 choices, but I am sure any of them would be better than this bitcoin crap.

I was thinking about LIQUID coin... .. At least the name seems to be heading in the right direction.

However, if you have a better choice, I will consider that, too.. I'm flexible like that.     Wink   Cheesy

Don't hesitate to PM me if you've got a good candidate.

Honestly I'm more and more doubtful about btc future.


Yeah. The blocks have been  like 80% or more full for days, and I did a nearly 3btc transaction today it cost me fricken $.04, and took nearly 2 fucking hours to confirm.

You know I could have used something else that's better. I'm sure there's gotta be something that will give more comfort. We just gotta find it.

Bigger blocks aren't a solution. We'd have to rise the size of the block every 6 months. It wouldn't be sustainable.

Bring up the price to $490 again. I want to see this go as high as it can until it hits the $500 wall like earlier this year.


What are you?  Ridiculous?

There's no $500 wall.  

Now, I know what you are talking about.  On November 4, 2015, the $502 was clearly a fast move upwards in which the total bitcoin community was not able to support such a quick uprising in prices or to sustain such a price at that time.  Such a supposed wall is not existent under the current circumstances.  

Good luck to you and anyone else who expects to find a wall at $500 and to profit by dumping before $500 this time around.
That is what I meant the resistance of getting past n staying above $500.
Not a wall  Lips sealed

Once we clear 480ish we will cut right through 500 without even blinking.  That said, we will probably consolidate for a little while at this level first.

Another one dreaming :3
I keep seeing post saying we gonna break the 500$ since early December.

Watcha be talking about, Jasper?

Inflation, QE (aka theft) and don't get me started on the jobs that were created (and how much harder people are working and getting paid less for it, while working more.)

Yeah but they're all here saying it's normal to work your ass off for a shitty salary cause... You know... you have to...

How many Sell orders will there be after halving. Most will wait for the price to hike then sell their bitcoins right after.

Well the price already hiked in its own way!

How high must it go to expect those sells ?

What's happening guys? To be honest I was not expecting this much of a battering after staying at $660 or so for a fairly long time.




Some down is always happening, it's necessary because some people sell coins from time to time ^^

The only important part is: GOING UP Cheesy

This is today (hours ago) from Kraken.

What is this?

Top price of both candles were 589.30300€

Does this number means anything or is someone just fucking with my head?

A bug maybe?
I don't know. Weirdest things happen ^^

Watching Stamp to see if we have really turned.

The book is pretty thin - 1000 BTC either bought or sold will make a huge price difference, so Stamp (which looks a leader right now) is very vulnerable to whale whims...

Tread carefully. I am looking for a dip to blow the last of my fiat, I put half of what I sold at the high 900s back in at 798 yesterday and then it went below.  Thankfully I am ok now - but I haven't got a clue if I will get one more dip or not for the other half.  Let's see.

EDIT:  Wishing everyone a filthy French Weekend of screen action.

A filthy French Weekend?
You mean you wish us to all raise the white flag together Huh
Doesn't make much sense man

Adjust time:   After 1113 Blocks, About 6.8 days

That is a good good reason NOT sell anything i get from mining.
I am sure many others who mine until now will do the same...
I expect a big impact on the price upwards.
I think in 2 weeks from now the price should be at 900€ about.

Yeah but if everyone is doing like you...
It means price will go up indeed.
But as soon as it goes up enough all the miners will start to sell what they mined!
So price is gonna crash again :/

You're all talking about "ETF" and I don't have a clue on what it is.
And your article isn't better Fakhoury, I bet it's fucking interesting but it only details the effect of ETF approval or refusal and how ETF could change bitcoin worlf and maybe even financial world in a more general way but without ever saying again what ETF means because xD

Here's an old article explaining what a bitcoin ETF is.

http://www.investopedia.com/articles/investing/041114/why-winklevoss-twins-new-bitcoin-etf-matters.asp

Quote
The Winklevoss Bitcoin Trust, currently moving towards regulatory approval, could be approved by the end of 2014 and will be a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF), with each share representing an amount of bitcoin held by the Trust. Currently, such an investment vehicle is only available to wealthy investors, through funds like the Bitcoin Investment Trust. The Winklevoss ETF will allow people with a brokerage account to invest in Bitcoin without having to worry about the challenges of buying, storing, and safekeeping bitcoin.



Thanks for the link but...
I don't see the point.
Bitcoin is one of the easiest things in the world to buy and store no?
Why on earth would it be necessary to through a funds company?

" Furthermore, secure storage of bitcoins by placing them into cold storage - that is, in wallets that are kept disconnected from the internet - can be technically challenging and investors may not want to take the responsibility of handling this.
"

Like seriously? Challenging? xD
A kid could do that after a couple of tries, don't tell me it's "challenging"!

Good morning Bitcoinland.

I see we're having one of those days.



Current price... $913USD (Bitcoinaverage).

Ho hum.

Ahahah yeah exactly !
All people panicking on the potential "crash" make me laugh.

Aim long term. It would need to lose at least 400 dollars so i lose money!

600 is just as arbitrary a figure as 900. it's worth whatever anyone's willing to sell for and someone else is willing to buy. the price is 95% hot air anyway.

Agreed here.
It's true for pretty much anything but it's REALLY TRUE for bitcoin.
Material things have a clear and defined utility. There is some kind of internal values for objects.
But btc? It's just... An idea. It worth nothing more than what people are willing to pay for this idea.

I do that everytime.

i don't know why anyone here's currently trying to second guess things. with every exchange bursting with new users, the only thing you can be sure of is that the usual traders are not in the driving seat for now.

What we can guess with a great confidence though:
Price will swing and play ping pong between 2000 and 3000 for a good amount of time.

BTC is incredibly versatile in price. There is in fact no reason for it to stabilize anywhere. I don't understand why people panick or FOMO. There is really an incredibly tiny chance that the price skyrockets to 10k$ and never comes back to 2500. Of course it will probably happen a day or another, but the chance that it happens at the moment you buy is low as fuck.

Just consider this as a perpetual movement between two big hands ^^
Price will continue to swing simply because nothing will prevent it from doing so.

It's mostly trolls that get their posts deleted. It's a speculation thread I don't really think they'll ban anyone bearish just because they're bearish.

Same can be said about altcoins right now! Everytime one is down, 5 new ICO are beginning xD
Does anyone have a site or something to follow the big ICO launches by the way? Because when ICO are really good they make the price move. Up if ICO is accepting BTC only!

There is a site here, in Bitcointalk.org:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=159.0

Lol yeah but... This section is pure trash.
I mean everytime someone launches a shitcoin, they hire hundreds of newcommers and launch them on this section to talk and talk and talk of how great the project will be.

I'd like more... Objective informations.
Like about the creators, the code itself, what it's worth etc...

So, im bullish on Ripple, like many other. This doesnt mean i dont have my BTC stash in place, and believe me, my BTC dont get jealous.. so why all the fuzzle?

The fact that the company owns XRP tokens in semi-infinite quantities is a real hindrance to the value of each such token. Their ability to profit off the seignorage works directly against the interest of XRP hodlers.

Sure.
The problem isn't really about how XRP works but how they were created.

Once XRP goes to the top the company will simply sell a part of the stash and that's all.
No way people will ever use this shit.

No. I mean the capitulation of GW Bush administration to Wall Street extortionists. By the end of 2008 US gov was already a division of Wall Street.

Obama was the choice of the financial capital. With Trump's victory the industrial capital managed to gain some ground back but not too much.


becoin, you're very observant. I agree.

Bush and Obama caved to the "club" and became club members themselves, the club being the Deepstate - Fed/Bankers/Megacorp/Wallstreet with their Globalist world financial agenda. That is why the MSM largely gave both of them a pass.

But Trump is pushing back, and that's why the Deepstate controlled MSM is out to hang him on something. They want him out of office now because he's not completely on board with selling out the U.S. citizens and continuing the U.S. demise.



Could we stay on topic gentlemen? ^^

Note that I don't mind discussing politics but there is a part on the forum dedicated for that. Especially as I don't see how Trump is linked to BTC price... He won't do anything to make the dollar stronger: I don't think he wants to, he doesn't care at all about his country or its economy, and even if he wanted to I'm not sure he could do anything.

And on topic: Did you see how the price is on the rise again? Do you think there is a link with the segwit2x increasing support?

where to fish this bottom?

Pretty much anytime is the bottom right now :/

I mean we've reached the 20k... We're at 11k...
So you can buy anytime and hold tight.
If you try to fish the bottom there is statistically a rather low chance that you hit the right point. YOu'll probably miss the bottom and sooner than you think it'll be over 20k again ^^
