Wow. This website's a bit fucked in the middle of a rally. It really IS like the old days.
no man, in the 'good' old day, we'd have trading engine lag measured in HOURS.
lol.
and when you wanted to check btctalk to see what's happening you'd find it's down due to DDOS
isn't that literally what the first guy said?
eh I meant that the forums were down as well but I phrased it not quite clearly.
who still remembers this?

Already down ~$10 from 363 high and selling pressure is continuing. Not sure whose gonna run out of ammo first at this point, the bulls or the bears
Nerve wracking stuff, this one hourly candle is quite the fight

Bulls will win long term. I personally couldn't give a shit about hourly candles.
But I guess the traders care.

Wow this was a nice day...again Bitcoin rose more than $30 
Is it save to say that the bear market is over?
Is it save to say that the bear market is over?
nobody knows... We could very well top out around 400 and start the next wave down...
A lot of people get way too easy freaked out and panic buy here... And somebody has to pay for the profits other made at some point.
But this is the wrong place to talk about rational behavior people have been posting rockets and trains the hole bear-market time ..

Still a long way to go. First we need to break up $400, and then we can call this a victory.

I would say we need a few days above 350 and confirmed. we are just 3 hours above target til now.

I nearly passed out when I checked the price. I've been so busy today I haven't really looked.

I love all you guys. Even you lambie and tarms, wherever you are

After starting buying bitcoin in September 2013 at 130$, all the way up to 1200$. Then accumulating further all the way down .... if it keeps the pace I will finally reach break even in about .... 10 minutes
Same here, bought from $800 all the way down to $200. Now nearly at break-even again. I'm fine with a slow rise, but this is ok too.every parabolic rise is followed by a crash. If you want bitcoin to gain real value you want to have a steady slow growth developing.

If Core can't find a way to scale the network with a reasonable amount of safety and security in TWO YEARS, then they are incompetent and need to make way for better developers.
How much time is a reasonable amount of time for you? I really want to know. Give me an actual number.

That is a pretty bold statement about solving a non-trivial computer science problem. I'm sure your patches will be accepted if you have a solution.
I think the problem is that you assume that increasing the blocksize fixes the problem.
I imagine a future where all manner of services that are currently ad-supported or subscription-based might instead be payed for with bitcoin microtransactions, seamlessly and transparently. There could be millions, or maybe even billions of transactions per day from all these page views/minutes of video/etc. - vastly more than even Visa handles at peak capacity. And add to that all the microtransactions that might be generated by devices on the Internet of Things, that none of us know the extent or nature of yet.
I don't see how increasing blocksize will handle this. Even data-center sized nodes may not be able to handle all those microtransactions.
I don't claim to know what the answer is, but I am pretty sure that block-size alone won't do it - and lurching down that path in a non-judicious way could lead to permanent problems that will be painful to work around in the long term, after a real solution is found.
I'm certain blocksize alone WON'T fix all scaling problems, but it would buy us time. All it would take right now is a doubling of transactions to crash the network. This problem was important, but now it's urgent as well. A doubling is well withing the realm of possibility in mere months and is approaching the probable.
Creating a market for transaction fees needs to happen AFTER we reach mainstream adoption or we will never reach it. Yahoo mail, Facebook, Google all knew not to monetize too early. That's why they're still around. I hope we'll be around when billions of cryto microtransactions becomes an issue.
I don't really think that the people resisting block-size increase are just interested in creating a transaction-fee market.
I don't work for Blockstream, nor am I a Core developer - but even I can see that there is potentially a heavy price to be paid (in terms of Bitcoin decentralization) if we rush head-long down the path of block-size for scaling - and this could turn out to be a mistake that can't be undone, AND one that does not really solve the problem in the long-term.
I don't see the urgency you do for raising blocksize right now. Full blocks are still uncommon (except during "stress-tests").
