Topic: @RogerVer lets make a deal. At least 60k, my BTU for your BTC. - page 6. (Read 64943 times)

i don´t get the part where theymos gets bashed because loaded did not contact you. are they one person?

I'm also bumping this to call Loaded the lying scumbag that he is.
I contacted him multiple times,  provided him with all of my personal contact details including personal cell phone number so we could move ahead, and he never contacted me, and never even logged into the forum again.
I'm sick of the dishonest lying, cheating, and censorship tactics being employed by some (not all) of the Blockstream supporters.
It is disgusting, and you should be ashamed of yourselves.  (Especially Theymos)

BUMP!  Time to bring this up again, this time for BCC!

Loaded - You around buddy? Roger's supporting the sad BCC altcoin now that will fork off of bitcoin on Aug 1.

Batter up!

Ver, why that smile on your face? https://medium.com/@rextar4444/wright-has-satoshi-key-s-and-ver-has-your-mt-gox-coins-5ec0cf80a358

Haha, BTC for BTU
Who cares about BTU?lol

 

Hi,

Um, what? You drunk bro? BU isn't a real coin/altcoin/fork at this point. So they have 0 volume. They don't exist. Maybe you're looking at futures which OBVIOUSLY would have almost 0 volume because they probably will never even exist! Throw your penny into the wishing well and hope it turns into a grand. It's not going to happen though.

The BU might not be activated this year, but bitcoin will have bigger block in the future.

Welp. Lots of whales starting fights... I really hope that if we make a move to BU, they don't try and force a split. That would be horrible, jeez.

Turns out Bitcoin is more than a small community of people with lots of power. It's a community of people that will use this power to hurt themselves and others.

I would have expected this very vocal minority to attempt their fork by now. Maybe the recent price increase has people thinking twice about making huge gambles with their wealth in exchange for a relatively tiny feature request.

This is the most intelligent post in this thread to date.

If the fork happens then all your bitcoins recorded in pre-fork blocks will exist in both blockchains, i.e. all of a sudden you will own the same amount of BTU as you have BTC (that is, as long as you hold your private keys so that you can import them into the BTU wallet).

Now if Loaded says that he doesn't care for BTU then it makes perfect sense for him to take all those 60k-130k free BTU that will magically appear out of nowhere in his BTU wallet and sell them asap for BTC. It might seem a bit risky that he wants to make the deal so much in advance before anybody can possibly know what the actual value of BTC vs BTU will turn out to be, but given his strong sentiment it's understandable and after all he won't be losing any of his (and his clients') BTC anyway.

On the other hand, Roger Ver's behavior, who allegedly owns 300k BTC and thus may also out of a thin air become the owner of 300k BTU totally free of change, is not that clear. Why would he even bother thinking about changing his 300k BTC + 300k BTU into 240k BTC + 360 BTU? It's merely a 20% shift. It seems more likely that the kid (a convicted felon who has been to federal prison, btw) either doesn't know how fork actually works or he doesn't own his private keys. Either way, an amusing example of self-ridicule.

Maybe he got cold feet. 40k BTC is not a small chunk.

It's been more than a month now and still no reply. Roger on the other hand is still here and true to his word.

I would like to avoid any sort of split and see segwit activated with miner consensus just like LTC and other coins, but im afraid Jihad will keep avoiding it in order to keep his ASICBOOST scam running. He doesn't care about LTC because he can't use ASICBOOST there, he was just avoiding it because he couldn't be able to explain why he suddenly decided to signal for it while blocking it on bitcoin (as disclosed by the chat leaks) but he finally accepted. Now LTC is mooning and will scale to trillions of transactions per second. BTC is mooning too but let's see how long it lasts.

No, the users will follow whatever is the logical course of action.*

The previous Bitcoin is likely to activate SegWit if there's a low-consensus split, which pretty much will definitely happen.  Regardless of any attacks on the minority chain, SegWit will probably come out on top for economic support.


*except for online wallet users and other bank supporters

Loaded already made his proposition, and Ver has accepted it. What else does Ver need? BU hasn't forked yet, BTC-U don't exist yet. So why does he wait for Loaded's response? Goddamn troll. Fork BU and come again.

He is trolling this thread into a fake win.

You guys let Ver troll the shit out of you.

Plain and simple....

You look like guppies, being strung around behind the curtain.

Who cares about BTU...

Like 2 BTC in VOL?

Wasting your time here don't you think?

Lames.

They're not miners so they don't count. The users will of course do what their mining overlords tell them to do and pile in to a system that breaks every few hours.
