Just checked mine. Mine is worth 0.19880000 BTC.  NOT FOR SALE!
@Torque They probably want your legendary account to either scam people, launch a shitcoin, or get paid a premium with signature campaigns.

Certainly, I personally believe there is a very good chance that BCH becomes the victor of the enforkenating. I assume you merely cast this off as implausible?

But really, if S2X emerges the victor, is that really a 'worst case' for you Core acolytes? Seems to me that there ain't more than a RCH difference between S1X and S2X. Sure, a handful of overly-entitled neckbeards either whiny-ragequit or have their bluffs exposed. Other than that, what?

But first! Be prepared to be stunned and amazed!

Elliott died 60 years before bitcoin arrived.,
his wave principles dont fit for cryptos.
Bitcoin has its own waves. Wave 5 finished? so what.
Lets proceed to another rally wave 6 closely followed by 7  

After wave 5 does it cruise along sideways nicely? I'm hoping that's what happens.

What the fuck?   NOW I am getting ANGRY!!!! - (a little dramatic effect should not hurt, here)...


You mean that after all of this discussion of "wave 5", we have not even arrived at it yet?


 

I am really ANGRY, if you cannot tell...


And it is not a "gay" type of mad, either.   

What if none of them is victor? it may be some altcoin as well, at least temporarily.

I will still support BTC, but i don't see it rallying right after the fork. it may take very long time to get to new ATH after that, so there should be enough time for re-entry.

Sure sometimes taking risks like these can pay off... but they could also go very badly, too.

So yeah, I recall that he did this major purchase of BTC right around the time of a subsequent crash (might have been the bitfinex matter?), but there was a bit of uncertainty for a while and even thought that he may have risked too much..

But sure, even with the Bitfinex matter, there still did remain considerable bullishness in the air that subsequently played out.. so in that regards good move.

As Elwar also states, he subsequently cashed out about half of his acquired BTC stash for some kind of annuity.. which might have been a bit too conservative.. so yeah, he seemed to have moved from some action that was a bit too risky and then into one that was a bit too conservative - yet it still could be the case that half of a stash is good enough, especially if we get some more decent bullish performance....   And, yeah nothing is really guaranteed in bitcoin, and it is surely possible that this could be the top.. but I am thinking that even if we get a bit of a correction now, that we are going to have at least one more pump before the mid-November fork.. then from there we have to see how the fork plays out... In spite of seemingly credible disruption threats, I am lacking a certain amount of confidence that the small renegaders are really going to be able to garner over much network to their side and to kill the golden goose, as they seem to want to do (or at least making such an appearance).. so anyhow, I am thinking that there are decent chances that this whole nutjob forkening matter will resolve in favor of the real bitcoin.. which is our current legacy chain that is currently composed of 1x and segwit.. .as our consensus mechanisms that will go on to conquer the day... which will be bullish.. but it could take a bit of time (a few days and perhaps in a worse case scenario several weeks) to be clear about that being the outcome. 

A very very worse case scenario would be that 2x garners network support and becomes the new bitcoin, but in spite of a bunch of threatening propaganda, it remains my view (at least as I type) that that outcome seems less than 5% of being what happens post forkening (that is even if the fork happens, which seems decently likely - currently in about the 85% plus territory that the proposed segwit2x fork will actually happen).

I doubt Satoshi was thinking that. Yes, I realize you were /s-ing. However, that which you list cannot properly be ascribed to BCH.


Good on ya, mate. We've had our disagreements, but I never have had cause to question your principles.

Whatevs, it'll be less of a problem tomorrow than it was yesterday.

Nevermind the fact that each addtional 264 bytes is another actual usage of Bitcoin.


No.

I prefer BCH to S2X. And I prefer S2X to S1X. But quite frankly, I don't know how the forkathon will conclude. While I believe in BCH's long term prospects, it may be a bumpy ride. Then again, its the only one of the three that can make it through a sudden hashrate drop.



And Bitcoin Gold/GPU can fuck right off.

And miss out on the victor skyrocketing?

Oh well, it's your money, man.

As I see it now, I will have to dump both, just in case

I don't know about "general consensus"

To get at my keys I'd have to travel to Antarctica, dig down through 40M of ice, disarm the traps (non trivial undertaking even knowing how they are set up) cut open the welded shut vault and then defrost the Pentium 3 inside.

Just too much trouble.

So is the general consensus that everyone's going to dump their s2x coins asap?

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.

What are they asking?

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.

Money is really not as dangerous as a lot of people think.

ooooh, my bad, yeah 52,560GB

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

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.

Guy wanted to buy him, not rent him.

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.
