lol, i know the world is enclosed but in a different way than your fantasy spinning globe. "no-one is more imprisend than the one thinking he is free." I didn't mean to offend you with my post, I'm genuinely just curious about the model. My "belief" is that the earth is round and I have knowledge i...

Can self-moderation for threads be enabled? This seems like a very good question. What do people want regarding this? I'm guessing self-moderation means that a user moderates his/her own threads? I don't think that's a good idea. It could easily be abused to remove all posts arguing against the OP ...

Hasn't this kind of attack been known for ages? Why has it never been fixed? It's not particularly dangerous since no funds are stolen or burned, but still it's an attack that is annoying and causes confusion. I've read a few posts (on reddit) of people being confused because their wallet is shittin...

I jumped around a bit in one video and the guy says something along the lines of "isn't it strange that we can't feel the earth spinning". Seems like he needs to freshen up his knowledge in basic mechanics. With that logic you can come to the conclusion that airplanes are not actually flying, since ...

For these reasons I do not worry about the blocksize debate. It will work itself out, once it becomes a problem there will be consensus. Why should we wait until it becomes a problem? It's not going to work if every single thing has to become a problem before a solution is implemented. The regular ...

Does anyone have any tips for some cheap hardware that can be used to run a full node? Preferably something small and quiet that most people can run 24/7. Obviously Raspberry Pi 2 Model B comes to mind. It has 1 GB RAM and 900 MHz quad-core processor. I have read of some people running it as a full ...

*chilling* ok, chilled. (...) There you go :) My point is that everyone has different backgrounds and might know stuff others don't. What might be common knowledge to you can be completely new to someone else. It's better to take the time and explain (doesn't have to be long) so the other person at...

No, that is not what consensus means (...) Fair enough, seems like I had the wrong definition of consensus in this context. I see now how XT can be seen as threat to the "consensus spirit". However, due to Bitcoin being completely open source I think we will see more and more alternative "implement...

why is everyone here so stupid? i try not to go ad hominem on you guys but wow. get a fucking clue. don't quote prices of electricity in china in dollars and cents you troll. you obviously don't understand that money is worthless. and that the value of the electricity is in of itself. Dude chill. H...

electricity does not cost money. this is where your thinking needs to change. I come with an argument to defend my point, and you reply with "your thinking needs to change". This is an argument that goes nowhere and you won't convince anyone with it. In what way does my thinking need to change? In ...

The moderation occurred on r/bitcoin at a moment where it was literally flooded with big block whiners and core dev haters that promoted a protocol that contained a highly controversial and consensus critical change. That made a lot of people exhausted and uncomfortable. Forums are supposed to be a...

I wrote my seed down on a piece of paper and then I took the 12 words and clumped them into blocks of 3 words. I then thought of an image which these three words described, so in total I had 4 images to remember. It lead to some weird images but it was actually not that hard to remember. After I was...

When only the account that posted the link can see the link, it means that that account has been shadowbanned. The same thing happens with comments. You can post a comment and YOU can see it in the thread, but no one else can. It's a way to ban spammers without them knowing it until they realize tha...

What an amazing story! It sounds so crazy that I'm not even sure that it's all true, but a fun read nonetheless! But Jesus dude, that was a suicide mission going to a deserted Brazilian town when you don't really know anyone there. What were you even thinking? A bit weird that the brother thought it...

You make literally no sense. There is no such thing as "free electricity", someone is going to pay for it. Slave labor doesn't help when mining bitcoin since you can't do it by hand. Neither does it help when designing ASICs since that requires engineering knowledge and not brute force. And I can't...

The country where only fiat is used (country A) would certainly have a medium-term advantage over the country with an intrinsically limited currency (country B) in paying for military costs. If country A can decisively win in that time, then yes, they would win in the long run. There's a couple of ...

I think a more mobile-friendly layout would be great. Right now it works okay, but it's easy to miss-click on the authors name or the time the thread was posted instead of the actual link to the thread. Even better (in my opinion) would be to use an app like Tapatalk or something similar to get an e...

I completely agree. The current block size stops bitcoin from growing and stops companies from considering bitcoin as a payment method. A maximum of 576000 transactions per day is laughable compared to Visa or even Paypal. And what happens when someone wants to send more legitimate transactions than...

First of all I just want to say that I find this very interesting and I really enjoy ideas of how Bitcoin could change the world! money has never stopped war. money has only fueled it and been fueled by it. Sure it has. Because wars are fiercely expensive (both materially and in blood) when they can...

Ledge

is XT an altcoin ;) ? Let the debate begin! I say no: *picture* Agreed. The problem is that no one is right and no one is wrong, because there is no central authority who can define XT as an altcoin. Who detemines what is allowed to be called "bitcoin"? The core devs? The users? In my opinion, what...

Ledge

This is a great initiative! Hopefully this can show others that Bitcoin is so much more than just the "Core" implementation. Nothing good comes from ignoring and hiding other alternatives to Core in the hope that they dissappear. I hope this forum will be a place where we can freely discuss the pros...

I agree with a rank/trust/reputation system. It's very useful, especially for newcomers, to be able to see how trustworthy someone is when they get a reply to their question. This is especially important on this kind of forum since we are dealing with money and newcomers needs to be assured that wha...
