I sent with 31sat/byte the other day, low priority showed up after a few hours I think.    I'd state more precisely but the exchange doesnt deign to give me minor details like time.
That should be normal, 9 cents would be more like it Smiley   I hope we see BTC go for volume growth not absolute fees as it excludes too many normal people from normal usage


As it relates to equity market cap, traditional market cap is simply outstanding shares x market price... what you are referring to is float-adjusted market cap. Generally speaking, indexes are float-adjusted, example, the S&P 500, whereas individual company market caps aren't. This obviously depends on the data provider but in most cases you are simply seeing OS x MP.


Actually this is an important point made against Bitcoin and crypto in general.   A criticism with slightly more finesse then Ponzi scheme, but of inflated value.

Painting the tape or fake bidding in a price, the kind of trick that can happen most easily in penny stocks perhaps.   But as said above they take measures to exclude iilliquid stock value from indices.   I also thought they would exclude 'family' holdings of stock, like the family behind BMW for example but maybe Im remembering wrongly there - http://fortune.com/2015/08/06/johanna-quandt-the-billionaire-widow-behind-bmw-dies-aged-89/

Jim Rickards keeps getting asked to call out or argue against crypto in general, he recently mentioned this alot.    He is a former attorney for LTCM, one of the most wide reaching FIAT trading companies failures to occur.   At which point he became bearish on the dollar backed world reserve system.   I rate him overall, theres a few of these big bears who miss out the utility of bitcoin.   Iam also bearish on high fees in bitcoin for that reason, its choking natural growth which is a central requirement not secondary to asset speculation.

Someone do a chart for dollar, how overweighted are we to Federal Reserve or even worse for the YEN and BOJ


[Sent 0.0002btc with 4 sat/byte fee to exchange which acknowledges the attempt quite fast & Mycelium says unable to broadcast.   App suggested 4 sat itself]

My transaction was verified or confirmed in 17 minutes.

*Edit* I did another one again. $0.09 or 0.00001 BTC fee. It confirmed in 1 minute. Must be a lucky transaction.

Confirmed Transactions Per Day is very low like August 2017:

I just tried sending a transaction with $0.09 fee. I'll check how long it takes to confirm. It's 2.95 sat/B, specifically it's 0.00001 BTC for a 339 byte transaction, 2 inputs, 1 output.

my tx has 4 sat/byte and entered the very next block without pain.  Smiley

One must factor in that neither F2Pool nor Antpool verify transactions are less than 5 sats/byte. Bitcoin.com won't verify a transaction less than 10 sats/byte.

Edit: Looks like Antpool now verifies transactions less than 5 bytes/sat too.

7500 unconfirmed transactions... who could think we would be there now, it was 200k two months ago.

wow nice! I'll try a tx without fees.  Grin

https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactions

good old days!




Sure?


When BTC had 95% of both market cap AND txs flow?

There are over 250 million alt coins out there. If the average of each is $1 then they will have 65% of the crypto market cap.

I started thinking that maybe there would be a limit on alt coins at some point to one per person then I started thinking that maybe people will start creating alt coins for their pets too.

The latest Monero fork has 250 million coins (10% off the top to the 'devs' of course!).  We're talking mega billions in total.

And you know that this a one of the weakest excuses if it should work as such anyway.

There is reason and cause to be put into correct order and you ll get it.   

Or later.

Um . Is this latest bounce just part of this downward channel??. Thoughts?




look at the big green volume candle below - then see it in the 3 day chart

an indicator to buy?

6000 also where jpmorgan clients got in last time - coincidence



Think about it.

Always ahead of the curve, Elwar.

Saw it has 1 petahash plus now - merge mining on Slush iirc

In the vid above Barry says ETC will be the smart contract winner...
