Other than the slightly misleading title (these aren't exciting bitcoin projects, rather they are significant events in cryptocurrency) I think it is a great starter's post for newbies like me.

One very important event for me was the closure of faucetbox and ongoing attempts to find a successor. Yes, I know it isn't an event of huge impact but it is one of significance. Faucetbox was a big player in bitcoin and alt faucets. I got all my first btc/ltc/doge from it.

What is wrong with you people?

Looks like SW is not the 'no-brainer' solution some wanted it to be


Or


It needs more time with proper maketing


Or


More brutal pressure and chilling


Or


Compromise with BU


Or


 HF into 2 separate Bitcoins

It seems like Segwit just doesnt want to activate.

Yes we have 25.8%, seems like the consensus if futile.


It's like when a political party wins on 50.01% majority, whereas only 20% of the voting age population went to vote, so the party only has like 10% support.


This is why democracy doesn't work, most people don't care or don't want to vote. The consensus system is crap in my opinion.

I'm not sure why I have not seen this. But here it is I guess ^^ I feel the same way. The more backing the better. I like the new market places I am seeing popping up and the new acceptable of bitcoin as a payment for payment processors. It adds diversity to our payment options.

About that lending site though. Does anyone habe any clue to its usefulness as an investor looking to loan money ? It is safe ?

That is why I run this thread, so that people can discover these things, i'm happy that i can help you discover these.

New Openbazaar: 1.1.9

Quote
Full release for general use.

The following significant changes have been made in this release:

Functionality Changes

*   On the About tab of the User Page, the user's website URL is now truncated, and doesn't show extra text like parameters, so that it looks more appearling (thanks to contributor Reed Rosenbluth).

*   The server version is now visible in the About modal.

Behind the Scenes Changes

*   the client has been updated to the latest version of Electron.
*   an editorConfig file has been added, to apply common standards to editors that use editorConfig (thanks to contributor Richard Schneider).
*   various code has been updated to match our code formatting standards (thanks to contributor Richard Schneider).

Bugs Fixed

*   the issue where a listing route without a listing code would result in a bad state was fixed.
*   the bug where the code for opening external links used the old method of loading shell, which no longer works with the latest Electron code, was fixed.
*   the issue where the up and down number buttons in the quantity when ordering something didn't work if the item didn't have a max_quantity value has been fixed.
*   fixes issue with Mac OS controls overlapping the client controls
*   some rare issues with ports being blocked have been fixed.
*   a rare bug in Electron that causes a JavaScript error has been fixed by the Electron team.
*   the store categories not working after scrolling has been fixed.

Joystream seems to be one of the most awaited file sharing. And I'm thinking about the megaupload but I don't know if which of those both will stand out when this project is already done and good to go. So when this is already good enough, I will try to upload my videos that I've store in my very own hard disk drive.

For me Rootstock stands out presently, solid team behind the project and it adds more to Bitcoin than most people would gives it credit for. The smart contract and sidechain idea it huge news for Bitcoin enthusiasts

But I believe they provided software and tools for bitcoin nodes. I am not sure what that computer was but, if not for anything , atleast developers can test their ideas on that, and in the future many great apps and ideas can grow from it.

That is still a big maybe. Also for a company that is one of the highest funded by the VC's, it is a disappointment that all they could come yp with were software and tools for nodes and a Raspberry PI Bitcoin node. That is far from the innovative tech the declared they are developing. It will not be surprising if they run out of funding and decide to shut down the company.

Well you are right , what's important is that it is currently being discussed. Honestly i have no idea of  21 INc can you give me some links for that so i can have some updates on it thanks.

https://21.co/

I cant believe you didnt heard of them, one of the biggest companies in bitcoin, with all sorts of good tools.

There was an article somewhere that said that 21 Inc. will pivot from a hardware maker to software. I googled to search for the article but I could not find it. Maybe it was posted on /r/bitcoin or in this forum.

What sort of "good tools" did they create? I remember the Bitcoin computer was only a raspberry PI with a node and a bootstrapped blockchain. It was a big let down.

There are so many projects where Bitcoin could be used and more and more ideas are poping up each day.
New technologies including Bitcoin are very practical to be used and experimented especialy by younger people and gives them opportunity to start something new, proof themselves and make the success.

Im looking forward for that embedded mining, i think that it is very innovative. I just hope that it would be availabe in our country  and there is no need for me to purchase it outside

If it becomes very successful, it will eventually get to all countries, that is how entrepreneurship works.

I am looking forward to it as well.


I really just hope so.  Who are currently doing this by now tho? Are they posting the possible features of this project? Or some sort of helpful informations like price, or the hardware specifications?

It's 21 INC, but i havent heard anything concrete about it yet, it was just an announcement, but nothing concrete information provided. I guess it's still theoretical, or in research.

I guess it will take a few more years until it comes out, creating microchips is not easy.

Well you are right , what's important is that it is currently being discussed. Honestly i have no idea of  21 INc can you give me some links for that so i can have some updates on it thanks.


I'm also interested in this so I'm calling some brave warriors out there who are willing to try the beta version of this embedded mining.  It is available in their site 21.co.  Please tell us your experience if possible.

The site says that it will recommended to use your olf devices
