Gold collapsing. Bitcoin UP.

[cypherdoc]

don't forget the dictator accusations that were quickly dispensed of.
[doublepost=1455555521][/doublepost]lol, @bitsko terrorizing BitcoinCore Slack channel :

bitsko 8:55 AM] @brg444, im like your conscience, always in the background as you go about with divisive insults. Not so easy to wipe me off the screen. Try brillo, if your soft hands can handle it.
hostfat [8:55 AM] someone has shadowbanned me from r/bitcoin :simple_smile:
8:55] great
bitsko[8:56 AM] Catholic drakseth pope of the avatar bite, meh.
[doublepost=1455555715,1455555063][/doublepost]OMG! funny as hell:


hostfat [8:58 AM] I've found a photo of the r/bitcoin team

[doublepost=1455555842][/doublepost]ok, couldn't resist jumping into the middle of this tweet convo:

 

[Ivanhoe]

Anybody from here going to the d10e (http://www.d10e.org/#amsterdam) event in Amsterdam this Wednesday and/or Thursday? I'm going.

 

[freetrader]

Weird convo, Back in paranoia land assuming /u/n0mdep is Olivier:


Funny thing is /u/n0mdep replied, but his reply does not appear in the original thread. Shadow-banned or CSS magic?


Just par for the course of strange things going on in North Korea today, I guess.

anyone notice 170 of these nodes just got fired up?

https://bitnodes.21.co/nodes/?q=/GMaxSucks:0.11.2/

not even sure what this means but i'm guessing it's probably classic compatible?

That is hilarious.

roflmao.

that's a pretty amazing effort. gotta wonder what those nodes represent; Classic compatibility? what's the pt if they can't be added to the tally?

i get 191 of them...

 

[freetrader]

It would be great if they represented themselves in a clearer way without personally attacking the opposition. Being counted would actually make more of a statement.

As it stands, it could just as well be false flag.

 

[cypherdoc]

so what's currently the fastest and least expensive way to put up a dozen or so legitimate nodes right now?

 

[bracek]

maybe that is the point, to dilute the vote for classic

 

[awemany]

In any case, its just a waiting game now. The Chinese miner deadline will be interesting 17 days to go I think?

Remember the second stalling conference being the deadline?

An ultimatum that isn't followed by action isn't just worthless - it is worse, it is a joke on us.

@awemany

and it's maddening that Adam keeps calling Classic "rushed".

 

[awemany]

@cypherdoc: So Theymos is the one listening to Beethoven then? Or is it Greg?
One should note that the consensifier eventually works against these guys...

 

[bracek]

I have been thinking about this global deflation and came to "conclusion".

Could it be that it is caused by internet ?
That would explain why it is different this time

We have had internet only for the last 10 or so years, (widely spread, easily accessible)
people on average are slow to figure something out ,
and another effect would be inertia to act.

What I am talking about are all the middlemen fees, markups, upward price manipulations,
internet enabled people to get a feeling that "something is not right", that differences in raw materials price and final product price are too big
and it took the above mentioned 10 years for people to stop buying across the board, because markups are everywhere.

I have broader theory what happens with all that skimmed money, but for now, I am sharing only the above thought

 

[cypherdoc]

@bracek

that's a pt i've been making for the several years this thread has existed.

yes, i think the global field will be leveled.

 

[freetrader]

@awemany

and it's maddening that Adam keeps calling Classic "rushed".

It's the new party line, fits nicely with the "Hold up Gavin, let's talk some more" tweet.
The r/bitcoin echo chamber has picked it up and is beating this drum hard.

Another variant is "we do more quality assurance":

 

[tynwald]

All running on AWS. Someone has $$$ to burn on a personal beef, it seems.

 

[cypherdoc]

GMaxSucks:0.11.2/ #247 and counting

as much as i can't stand gmax, this is a waste of time and resources. better if he just ran Classic nodes.

@bracek

yes, i think the global field will be leveled.

and all that skimmed money went to ?

my guess is it was destroyed by military,
the idea is this :
on western world side, taxes are spent to buy bombs, that destroys peoples wealth/work. It literally explodes with that bomb dropped somewhere, it just goes puff. (same idea is behind a cigarette, work goes to smoke in front of ones eyes)

and on the other side, destruction is visible by naked eye, bombs destroy the labor and wealth of the opposing side

the result is that after 200 hundred years, even tho technology is 500 times better,
it is equally hard to get your house now as it ever was, creates social inertia, and people are preoccupied with existential problems first, so they never get to solving other problems

 

[albin]

Those are probably modified Not XT fake nodes, I connected to a few and they do not flag any network services.

Blockstream has $ to burn.
