Clearly Jihan Wu, Rojer Ver (and friends) are combining their efforts to bring bitcoin down and pump BCH. They use any gap on the bitfinex bids to hammer the price by spending thousands of bitcoins. I am afraid that the 'free money' from the fork will come with severe attacks from this gang of morons. They will use the time of uncertainty to hammer bitcoin as hard as possible, with the hope to force the users to accept 2X as bitcoin.

Trouble is if your account is hacked you need to come back as a newbie. I am one of many even though i could prove ownership of my original account through bitcoin signing the admins didn’t even rrspond once to my many inquiries.
That is troubling. Had you previously registered a Bitcoin addy with your profile, from which you could sign a statement? And if so, did the mods just ignore ?
Yep. Not a peep from Theymos or Cyrus.
This was the link I sent to them
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.21177226
And the message I sent them was signed with the same BTC address.
Go figure?
welcome to the club.. i´m another ignored hacked account, ex-hero member
ditto.
hacked legendary - edgar account
verified and ignored by both theymos & cyrus.
twice.
the hacker/new owner wants paying upfront to return it but i cant risk losing more money over a pretty much pointless account.

TORQUE!!!
Btw this is unrelated to my going dark, but for years I had heard the rumors of certain Legendary users being approached by other anonymous users with offers to sell their accounts to them. And even rumors that some had taken them up on it.
Well... it's now happened to me too. "Name your price", he said. I find it all amusing. Just know that I am a person of integrity and would never do something like that, no matter what the offer was. Anyone who wants to buy your account intends to impersonate you and do bad things with it. No thanks.
I really don't know why I got so worried. I fully expect that you are well able to fend for yourself, so I apologize for having any doubts.
The $5 wrench has been looming ever larger in my thoughts as the sums involved become ever more motivating.
I think it may be near time for some of us to reevaluate our personal security arrangements.

still, I'm not at all sure what my connectivity provider is going to say about 6GB/hour
and god forbid you get a corrupted sync and have to redownload, takes me like 3 days now

Further, you realize that the 8MB 'limit' is merely a setting, right?
yeah, so y'all flip a bit and all of a sudden I'm building an addition on my house to house the 19" racks to store a 1GB block every 10 minutes...hell, that's only 52.56PB a year, what could possibly go wrong?
That's 52.56 TB, not PB, and it's not that large, considering the advances in technology. Currently it's only six 10 TB HDDs. Soon it will be just a single (and relatively cheap) HDD.

How much do accounts like ours go for, anyway? Surely he has a max price in mind.
I dunno, his PM just said "Name your price." I didn't reply, and don't plan to.

True bitcoiners are not in it for the money, but for the principle
Bullshit. It's both. Principles with no money are impotent, and money with no direction soon leads to not having much money at all, or death.I dumped all my bitcointrash on day 1 and won't regret it even if they go to 1 million each.
Of course you will. Admitting it is another matter. November 03, 2017, 03:44:44 PM
Here's a better version of the "Occupy the Moon" image, where the (BTC) logo is spherically distorted, to match the surface of the Moon.

If you've ever used BCH you'd realize there's nothing to hedge. Personally speaking, it's one of the most problematic altcoins I've ever used - and the only one where its marketcap stood out as insane compared to its inherent qualities.
-There are virtually no nodes to sync - you connect to bitcoin-core of the BTC chain and you get disconnected all the time.
-Blocks can take hours.
-On top of that exchanges require several confirmations, compounding the delay problem.
Anyone taking BCH for a spin cannot reach any other conclusion than "this is so broken it's not even funny".

You mean a stable, flawlessly working, decentralized, secure version of the Bitcoin network that everyone is happy with (i.e., BitcoinTM) is attempting to be subverted and attacked by another version (BCH) that sucks on so many levels it is nearly unusable, and people actually still want to debate which one is "better"?
Funny how Roger Ver et al continues to try and gaslight people into believing that a nearly unusable trainwreck of a fork is somehow "better" than Bitcoin. Yeah, when Satoshi designed Bitcoin he was definitely thinking "It should be slow, flaky, >95% mining centralized, hashrate all over the place, blocks that take hours, no merchant support, no broker support, cannot be purchased directly, >50% of all trading on one shady Korean exchange, etc. etc."
There is no way the BCH camp can in any way, shape, or form spin BCH into anything positive. It sucks badly and it should die a slow, painful death. There are literally shit altcoins that are way better in function than BCH.
