Gold collapsing. Bitcoin UP.

@Christoph Bergman

There's something strange going on with unreddit. That or reddit have stopped censoring.

@Christoph Bergmann most of us "don't limit bitcoin blockchain growth" proponents are banned from posting there. So nothing to delete.

I couldn't be bothered to head over there anymore. I occasionally visit when I am in the mood for Bitcoin cat videos though.

Hmm, I'd prefer to do the same, but at the end of the day on r/btc everybody knows what to do and r/bitcoin stays the place where you get in touch with the manipulators and the manipulated.

time to update your red zone tx graph and post it here. i want to tweet it to Ver.
[doublepost=1456352425][/doublepost]oh heavens. these guys are full of it:

Before the final copy was released officially Adam Back asked for that title to be changed to individual after consulting with others, including other Blockstream employees, as well non-Blockstream Bitcoin devs such as myself, both at the meeting and on IRC.

KnC DDoS'd or just bad luck? Only 2 blocks found the last 24 hours.

Funnily enough, the PoW switch is being contemplated at both sides:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=700411.msg13999162#msg13999162

It would be a riot if both camps ended up selecting the same algo at the same time...

[freetrader]

@YarkoL: i have hypothesis which i'd like to put up here for debate:

As long as a project remains open-source, it cannot easily "break away" through POW without the blessing of its origin, since the origin can "follow the POW change" quite easily.

Like a divorce cannot be clean unless both parties are willing.

This could result in a dragged out, messy divorce "POW fight" until resources on one side are exhausted.

Addendum: whoever closes his source first is out of the race anyway -> unclean exit scam

Looks like F2Pool are testing Classic:

https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/47f0b0/f2pool_testing_classic/

 

[Peter R]

@cypherdoc:

Is F2Pool saying that they can run Classic and still meet the round-table 'agreement' since it's compatible with Core for the "foreseeable future"?

Haha, if that's the case, it would certainly give Blockstream/Core a taste of their own semantic-trickery medicine.

F2Pool macbook-air


Flip flop flip flop

just on cue before the Chinese wake up and see the community reaction to the lack of consensus.

-ck suggests deleting the post and non other than Greg pipes up to say sure go ahead it's just a little whitewash in their favor if you remove the last few pages. What altruism!

I for one think the posts are an example unprofessional practices on the part of F2Pool, and are of topical interest to miners considering using the pool. I hope history isn't whitewashed through their removal.

another classic from slush

[cypherdoc]

@Peter R

yep, that's my reading.

"since Classic is not 'foreseeable' we can do whatever the hell we want!"

tradeblock says they got the last two.

you gotta love the news flow in the Bitcoin world, its ebbs and flows are better than the price chart.

Just received an email from kraken (BS customer, see Liquid) that among other things just informs me that:

You may have noticed something extraordinary recently: there has been an explosion of interest and activity around ether. In fact, we’ve just seen a 100% week-on-week increase in ether price. Ethereum’s market cap sits today at 8% of Bitcoin’s, and exceeds that of both Ripple and Litecoin combined. If you’re interested in trading, Kraken offers ether (ETH) against USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, JPY and XBT.

unfortunately one of them is a version 4 block :/

And then KNC mined a Classic block immediately after. If that second Slush block had been a vote for Classic too, we'd have had three in a row!
