Sorry to ask but where to read more about BU and Segwit? there is not much info here... and even a big nothing in the mining section.

It is very difficult to find anyone that will discuss BU or Segwit. I wish there was more discussion about it but nobody has an opinion for one or the other.

Isn't that the truth. I think most of the people bitching about it really don't fully understand either of the options. (me included lol)

Both hope to solve the same issue however. Just BU at some point could trigger the hard fork. Segwit would only be a soft fork. Just the sounds of a hard fork spooks people as it probably should lol

Wow, such wrong. How can you live with yourself? And why are you so concerned with other people's action in whether they sold or bought?

I admit I got over emotional. Probably because I have almost all my net worth invested in bitcoin and was living the dream because of the high prices we got lately. Dream is ruined at this time. Tongue

If we pass $1200 again, pack your space suits.

I think we correct to between $1080 and $1160 now

People think that a fork is imminent. First of all, none of the big pools are going to switch to producing bigger blocks until they have at least 51% of the hash. Probably a lot more. The way BU works is that it will eventually go for the longest chain. If any of the big pools start mining bigger blocks with less than 51% of the hash, they'll end up mining a lot of orphans. You think they are that stupid?
All the core team needs to do is introduce a block increase as well as Segwit and everyone will kiss and make up.

Finally someone is talking sense on this hard fork issue.

This question might sound stupid but I have been an investor never a miner .

If the fork would damage the price that much why would the miners go massively to it ? Wouldn't it affect their revenue? Or does people like Vinny Ligham overreact to the effects of an eventual HF?

It's a power play by the pools. From what I understand, the big pools made an agreement some time ago to accept segwit if the core team also made serious efforts to also increase the block size. They are just trying to force the Core team's hand to do what was agreed to.

Imposition of ORder = Escalation of Chaos

Ridiculously oversold...I think it will bounce back now. Already over 1000$ at stamp as I write this. Question is if this was all of it. We might be drawing a proper handle for our 3 year cup now after all.

Actually lost money when i was buying at $1090 cause I thought that was the bottom.
Bought more this morning at $1020 then got f'd again when it dropped literally 5 minutes after buying to below $990. Roll Eyes

A total of $93.97 lost just for trying to buy bitcoin at the drop with in a 12 hour period is very sad for me right now. Cry

Your talking about 90 dollars ?? are you serious ? In my opinion if 90 dollars is a hard hit for you better just stick with your day job and not dabble in this sort of something

Ya really, I've lost more than that in the last 24 hours on ZEC,, sold coins at 45 thinking it was near top, and this morning its been hitting at 72.00 ish....

If we only had a crystal ball Grin

We will. You can buy in triple digits this weekend! BTC will drop 100 EUR more. I hope its cheap enough then.

You want to make a bet? This will not happen imo.

So, did you get it this time Adam? Bought the bottom?

Quote from: Ted E. Bare on March 17, 2017, 04:26:50 PM

From the looks of it you have to be extremely fast to buy at under 1100.

Quote from: Ted E. Bare on March 16, 2017, 02:39:11 PM

Who sold at the bottom? Cheesy

Quote from: Ted E. Bare on March 16, 2017, 11:17:24 AM

Bottom at $1210 because of maximum FUD? Not bad. Even BTC-e is above Finex.

Quote from: Ted E. Bare on March 11, 2017, 02:39:49 AM

Anywhere below 1150 was way oversold. If I understand things correctly everyone tried selling at the exact same time pushing the price tremendously down, but only briefly. Now that the sellers are done it is only natural for the price to come back up.

Wow, such wrong. How can you live with yourself? And why are you so concerned with other people's action in whether they sold or bought?
