'The right to privacy matters'

Quote from: alh on August 09, 2017, 10:02:04 AM

As my Dad would have said:

Close, but no cigar!

Funny I was going to write that.

I am changing prize to 1 black factory sealed trezor.

This trezor is provided by trezor they made an error on my order sent me black ones and not white ones.

This generously fixed the order by send me whites ones on their dime.

I told them I would do the next promo and give away a black one.

While mentioning their generosity in fixing an error.

I also must mention when btc added bcc trezor did a good job of allowing access to the bcc.

New contest to start at block 1116.

Don't want to make this all speculation, but there's likely a correction down the road sometime. It always happens with such large increases and I wouldn't be surprised to go sub 3000 again.

Seems like BTC hashrate is still increasing like nromal this time. I guess I overestimated the power of BCC, was some good free $ converted to BTC though.

Can't knock free money.

You said it.

I traded all my BCC/BCH for BTC as soon as I could get it from my Trezor into a reputable exchange. Missed out on some of the early excitement, but I was playing it safe. Also those 20 confirmations to Bittrex when BCH had slow block times was a bitch.

Could have done better if I took more risk (like leaving my BTC on an exchange before the fork, or using a lesser known exchange with a lower confirmation requirement), but I'm happy with what I got. Especially at BTC's price today.

over 3400 damn this is good

We got as high as 3335 on coinbase the other day.

and BCC is about 209 so with BTC at 3293 on BITTREX that adds to 3503 which is past 3500.

I can see a lot of shifting happening for the next few months to come.

On july 31 12:01 btc was 2731 and bcc did not exist

So this is a jump from 2731 to 3503 if you kept your coins in a good place.

Some did better if they had coins on Bittrex
Some did worse if they had coins on Coinbase
Some did okay if they had their coins in a core wallet.

https://coinmarketcap.com/

is back over 110 billion dollars for all coins

Yes, it has been for a few days. No graphs to indicate a trend to help you (or me). Phillip suggested : https://bitcoincharts.com/ buried in the message above for basic info.

Network total   7493822.680 Thash/s

to find current diff estimate

91082/86022 = 1.0588 or about 5.88%

56 blocks to pick and we are near 5.88%

we stop picks in 42 blocks.

we are still around 5.88%

so picks like
5.7
5.8
5.9

6.1

Bitcoin FTW!

Apparently the network hashrate has dropped due to BCH making mining a little more tempting for some- I will personally continue to mine BTC and BTC only but this could change. One big motivator for BCH going up is that you can't even deposit on most exchanges, so price just continues to go up. This will probably be over in a week or two and price will just settle around $200-300.

So, do BCC discussions fall into the Alt-Coin area, or are they welcome here?

I am woefully ignorant about anything related to "the fork". Does anybody actually mine specifically on the fork?

Someone does, but apparently not a lot of folks.

They were reported to have found their first block early today.

Bitcoin network hashrate on the other hand didn't even noticeably blip - the current "flat" seems to be that Bitmain got all of their "July" miners shipped and they're now up and running....

Yep, BIP148 just locked in and Bitcoin Cash is on its way. I'm curious as to if the Cash split will make total hashrate decrease or if we will continue to see a hashrate increase on the Bitcoin network. I think it'll stagnate somewhat personally.

Not seeing any significant effect so far - seems like BIP148 isn't very popular among miners, but it's early hours yet, that could change over the next few days.

Miners naturally won't like it as BIP148 was made to keep the miners in track in the first place by orphaning non-SW signalling blocks. It won't really have an impact until a block is orphaned because it didn't signal SW, which is very unlikely.

Seems like BIP148 is a resounding NONevent - which I seem to recall predicting in a thread or two somewhere 2-3 weeks back or so.
