ETH has already 2600 nodes (growth is 60%/last month)

This might hurt.

Fire up a classic node. Let your voice be heard.

$10 up and the entire network is clogged up.

go bitcoin


Edit: You know what to do. Appreciate!: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1305286.msg13368792#msg13368792

Has something happened with Ether or why people would be jumping from there to bitcoin suddenly? Sorry for the question, not really interested investing in other cryptos so I have no idea.

Closed his massive short at a loss. :p

interesting thought. we'll see, i suppose.

You go first. Or was that it? 

I don't remember any TA and graphs in this thread. All I remember is either rocket pictures with MOOOON  written on them, or pictures of sinking ships with BITCOIN IS DEAD written on them.

I like this:

But there are others as well.

The beauty about bitcoin is that everyone gets cleaned out.  Market makers ensure short / long you get f#ed

could you imagine some internet token being actually worth more than 400$?

either the dollar has deeply depreciate, or people have just gone mad.

anyway, much more profit to be made on the downside of a market.

200$ would be easier to get than 800$ at this point.

and tibane knows it.

I swear to god that if I can't get profit with my short I stop trading :p

if this dont work ill send it with a 5cent fee.

current block height 399867

That's not true.

Can't explain. Number of fucks given rapidly approaching zero.

Will people get their heads out of their asses and stop talking about VISA and coffee cups. You can't buy anything with Bitcoin, so neither should be a problem.

It's about making sure the darn thing works. NOW!

That is not how fee markets work , there are upper limits to how much spammers and users will spend on fees. My wallets adjust just fine and insure I always get in the next block. There is never a moment where I have to worry that my tx will time out within the new 72 hour mempool window.

Monero (+12%), Ethereum (+21%) and maidsafe consistently eating the cap cake.

Seem something could be changing in the ecosystem, stay tuned, biches

Appears that the evidence supported our suspicions . This was indeed a spam/ddos attack upon bitcoin and the perpetrators ran out of cash. The unconfirmed backlog is clearing up

https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactions

Bitcoin is certainly resilient.

Yes, the link reflects the live unconfirmed tx amount reflecting that the attack is over (at least temporarily ) and why you are starting to see unfilled blocks-

https://blockchain.info/blocks

Regardless of the evidence we had beforehand there is always some amount of doubt that it could have just been a natural growth of the network creating a transaction fee event. The fact that this ddos has ended supports the previous evidence that this was indeed an attack that was curiously timed to coincide with several "predictions"

Of course the attack wasn't natural growth. It started way too sudden on 28 February to be natural. More likely, it seemed to me that it was a counter attack of extremist bigblockers after the DDoS attack on Classic nodes by extremist smallblockers.

It could also be a pretentious conflict by third parties (banks, government agencies etc) who prefer division in the btc world.

Classic nodes don't play any meaningful role in order to get attacked. What counts for activating a 2mb HF are the miners, not the nodes. And since the miners are smart enough to understand the destructive consequences of contentious hard forks and splitting the currency in two, which would forever destroy the trust in bitcoin as a currency, they chose not to go down that destructive split. In other words classic is dead. And you know what they say about beating the dead horse. That's what DDOSing an "xt" or "classic" node is.

My definition of spam is when someone doesn't transact because they want to make an economic transaction, but rather to do something else, like filling blocks with crap or bloating the blockchain.

Alex, have you ever written any code? It's a wonderful thing to try, even if you never plan to do it for fun or profit. It's, in a way of speaking, explaining complex things to a machine, a machine which, though capable of being quick and consistent, doesn't know its ass from its elbow without you telling it, procedurally, how to do it. Step by step.
This will prepare you for future interhuman interactions, like the one I'm having with you.
Bitcoin is not sentient, it makes no value judgements beyond truth values of variable, so telling Bitcoin "spam is the stuff we don't want, get rid of it" will only result in "Brrp! bleep bloop X=42."
Please tell me you understand, and that I don't need to resort to lower, register-level explanations.

I don't have a problem with introducing minimal fees, and no problem with defining spam as "any tx with less than X sat/kb." I'm good with that, though neither Classic or Core have this option on the table.
Can you guess why?
Once we define spam, we have a starting point, we can discuss why/why not the definition is acceptable to us & likely consequences of filtering those tx. Instead of being stuck in this lockgroove.

for hours now i have been trying to figure out which way its going
then it hit me.
UP!
 

A pump will be possible tomorrow morning, but I'm not happy about the amplitudes seen so far. I will wake up very early anyway to try to catch it.

For long term investors, the spike above $1000 wasn't earned properly.

You shouldn't get too excited about a short term spike, because it'll never hold. Get excited when we drift over $1000 and it becomes the new firm support. May take most of the year to get there, but we'll get there.

I think we're at the new bottom now

The ETF is targeted at extremely rich people and investment funds. They have to consider the scenario below if they have invested in millions of dollars worth of coins. The ETF will be insured against theft.

is it december all over again? wtf?


edit:
i promised myself to be humble when there is another rise. not to flip out. not to laugh about bears. not to brag about my virtual gains.

but ... but ...

hard to humble.

Huobi used to have a higher price during the run to 1100+ too, and with a bigger gap than now

Maybe it is just things getting back to usual

Something big is about to happen... I can tell because Kraken keeps timing out 

Bitcoin price is getting scary right now.
Rising too fast too soon.
Ready for a drop from dump soon maybe?
PBoC will be giving their statements tomorrow if they found anything from these investigations they performed?

Looks like a "cliché" dump!        (word of advice: don't hope for too much! Be happy with a $20-30$ dip then buyback in)

This is getting rediculous. I'm starting to feel that selling a good part of my stash a while ago wasn't the great idea I thought it was at the time

I don't know what's happenning with KRAKEN... It's the third time (that I have NOTICED) that I had limit orders placed from days before that ARE NOT EXECUTED when the price cross and pass my limit price.

In this case, the price reached 2082€, yet I had some sell limit orders in the 19XX€ and 2XXX€ range that were NOT EXECUTED.

I always leave low and high orders to take advantage of this spikes... but it looks like someone else (maybe KRAKEN itself) is taking advantage of it and not me?

WTF is this shit? It is costing me MONEY.

And I am still waiting on the last ticket I opened about this issue past month.

Anyone else on the same boat?

What this leads me to believe that maybe some people are being liquidated, at least at a worst price than would happen if orders on the way were executed.

No, that's not how the order book (should) works. If someone goes to sell (or be liquidated) all the way to 2082€ it means all sell orders before that price have been honored.

The only case that could be a bit confussing is if the rise stops at exactly the price you had your limit orders set. Then, if there are more coins from other traders that were placed before yours AND are enough to cover the demand, no single coin from you will be reached. But the price can't rise any single penny above while there are sell limit orders pending at that price.

I haven't had any single problem with Bitstamp but I have never used leverage there, not sure if they already offer it.

For leveraging your alternatives are not much and not good either.

I just discovered that I can get some free CLAMS for each of my funded BTC address on MAY 2016 2014 (edited). I am in the process of syncing the wallet to do it. Free money!

ANyone else knows about some other coins that have some value and can get for free the same way?

I love the smell of free money in the morning

It's something like this: http://clam.makejar.com/

There are other sites but I have found out that all those take a percentage and it is better to download the wallet and do it yourself. I have not yet finished the proccess, so no garantees on my part!

Also, it seems that you need to provide the private key of addresses that WERE funded on MAY 2014 (but aren't anymore, so you don't risk your BTC).

If I am wrong on my understanding, someone please correct me on this. And if anyone knows more coins that do this, please also share

Nice. I just moved to Korea. Now I just need a Korean bank account.

How many people on here lead dual lives between Europe and Korea? Probably not all that many. If it carries on then we'll all chip in to send you there if you split the profit.

That's really strange, bearstamp's at $2235 and bitfinex is at $2211. Since when was bearstamp's price higher than bitfinex's?

$2400 polo is short on BTC!lololol===>burn shorty burnnnn polo   weeeeeeeeeeee

It's pretty inevitable that there will be a huge dump soon, but which side of $3000 will it be is the question?

Back at the same price we were at 48 hours ago.

Gentlemen, it has been a privilege playing with you.
