Romania Reverses Decision to Weaken Corruption Law: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/04/world/europe/romania-protests-corruption.html?_r=0

"No believe 'em! Buy mes throwing apples."

Romania was on the brink of a full-blown revolution this coming week so I'm not surprised they pulled back. That said, I don't believe this is the end I it. I'm curious to see what happens next.

"Throwing pumpkins! Be prepared for the next revolt. Get your throwing pumpkins! They'll keep for weeks unlike apples."

L.M.A.O., Vlad. I have read this whole thread — from the very beginning — for about 2 hours now, and to be honest, I respect you for all that in–depth thinking. I love riddles myself, and if I had been here back in 2013, I would have looked into that riddle (unfortunately, I didn't even have an internet connection back then Undecided

).

I know bitcointalk members can be frustrating sometimes. (They probably never search for anything; they love easy, spammy threads. But not all, of course.) Most of your based–on–facts predictions are reasonably rational, and make sense. But I can't imagine what's in your head Huh

, all that thinking Roll Eyes

, DAMN!!

Thanks man, I appreciate it. It's not always thinking, sometimes I just go to bed, wake up, and oh, there it is. Wink

It's actually fun - nobody can do something for too long, for free, unless they enjoy it. Trolls and all, I've never blocked anyone. If you dish it out like I do, then you gotta also take it.

Interesting message on your avatar: "Life doesn't always give you what you want."

So true.

As always, you are so correct, Vlad. I now have Cezar cleaning up the place for Satoshi's imminent arrival:

Apples or more pics of Cezar? Your call.

That's a fake Romanian. These are real Romanian peasants. The one who's goat happy and can't stop laughing is probably the crazy one in the family. haha.

Don't you mean 12Teen? lol, that's so disgusting. Can't you see things are getting serious around here? I mean, Satoshi is about to come visit and you aren't even house broken yet. We gotta clean this place up before our guest of honor arrives.

First BTC.TOP now Gavin. So much for Bitcoin being the people's coin, so much for letting markets decide which chain they want. They clearly think they can be the long chain which would mean they can get the big Chinese miners to turn on Core. I wonder how they're gonna pull that off. I mean, *cough* they would need Satoshi on their side and of course that can't happen. Wink

Very smart and an extreme introvert, most happy sitting in a corner alone oppose to interacting publically, especially with more than one person at a time. He does better interacting via the Web.

I seriously don't have an issue with him in spite of continually sticking it up his ass for that BFL stunt he pulled on April Fools Day back in the day.

Most highly analytical guys are like that. I'm an introvert/extrovert hybrid thingie, a different kind of odd.

He seems to come up with some of the most creative stuff at Core. And he's outspoken, professional and incredibly articulate. That's valuable.

How do I ~~fool~~, err, convince these devs that Bitcoin is the devil and IXcoin is the hero saving crypto from its villains?

FYI, I've personally met Luke.

Really? I've never met a single person, something always came up.

What was your opinion of him?

#fklukejr!!

Leave it to a devoted Christian to stifle the meek seeking to enrich the Earth's populace.

I don't think it's that simple. Luke could be like most devs, keep his mouth closed and go along while getting rich. I appreciate anyone who puts it all on the line out of conviction for the greater good. And I have read his arguments and I agree with him, it is better, long term, to go with small blocks.

IXC would be lucky to get someone like Luke. A miracle.

Segwit Softfork dead in the water - the tide against Core is turning quickly!

---

[CryptoCoinsNews] - Luke-Jr has threatened a PoW hardfork if maxblocksize is increased. It appears to play some role in the hesitancy of other miners, but Zhuoer [BTC.TOP POOL OPERATOR] thinks he has a solution. He says:

“We have prepared $100 million USD to kill the small fork of CoreCoin, no matter what POW algorithm, sha256 or scrypt or X11 or any other GPU algorithm. Show me your money. We very much welcome a CoreCoin change to POS.”

Any blockchain can be made inoperational by what is called a 51% attack. If someone controls the majority of the hashrate, they can fork or orphan blocks, preventing transactions. Luke-Jr has shown this in practice when he successfully attacked an altcoin while controlling the Eligius mining pool.

Enter Satoshi...
