Ps: i recently moved my blockchain files from my 128GB SSD to an HDD, and was shocked how much longer loading bitcoin-qt took. It went from being about 40-60 second loadtime to 3-4 minutes. SSD drives are the future, and will make read/write/storage of the blockchain quick and simple
But most of the blockchain is static, unused data, making it a poor candidate for SSD. And I wonder it Bitcoin is SSD friendly. Does it do a lot of read/writes or is that mostly when a block comes in? I wonder if it would make sense to have the client split the blockchain to use the appropriate device for the appropriate use case. Maybe this could be done with symlinks on *nix.
Regardless I would choose SSD over HDD for any application. You simply can't go back after using them. Plus you get hardware level drive encryption.

What he's referring to is the startup where blocks are verified during the splash screen, in this situation an SSD is massively massively faster. I did exactly the same thing a while back during the 0.9.x-era and noticed the same.

Long on margin with an exit strategy @ 355.00 USD with 5% of my btc holdings. Anyone else?
February 27, 2015, 03:40:25 PM
Should I expect the price to go up to $300 by the end of this week or not?
if you want to be a millionaire next week dont buy, otherwise it is a great time to enter the market

We've seen a bottom, nothing is stopping this train now.
A slow climb back upto 1000 USD before the next halving.

When has Bitcoin exerienced slow climbs? Slow declines appear to be common but the rises never seem to be very slow.
They don't last as long as the slow declines have, but they certainly happen:

Here's a good example of the slow climb that preceded the November 2013 ATH.
Edit: Not saying we will see the same of either again, as the market is much different now - but we have seen it before. I definitely do not think it would remain slow up to/past $1000... - if it goes that high, it will be on the back of a much more violent honeybadger.

just fyi … sensing some truly breakthrough developments in the wind. On the order of sidechain significance.
The great unknown about BitCoin is it is just the beginning in the intellectual pursuit of programmable money. No one can predict where this will lead with any certainty at all. But you can almost be sure that with over 30,000 bright energetic minds now turned on to crypto concepts and programmable money there are going to be unpredictable upside developments.
… it may be that block chain TX are comparatively rare yet we still all use bitcoin.
Everybody is saying Bitcoin is the like TCP/IP layer protocol for internet money, what if the blockchain tech. is more analogous to the firmware level (assembly, microcode, etc) and we haven't even imagined the eventual value transport routing protocol layer developments yet??
Blockchain is a very fundamental concept, some would say simple, obvious in retrospect, yes, but so is the transistor.

i want to sell off some of this margin position to lock in/hope for lower to rebuy
but usd swap is becoming hard to get at decent rates :/
yo troll/bears. go lend your USD >14% interest a year!

bitcoin can rises 10 usd in just few minute, im sure its possible to can reach 50 usd in 48 hours.
Possible, but that won't happen probably... Still, a 275 would be seen, that's what I am personally expecting...

agree that, i think we will see 300 before march ?
By mid March certainly.
March 1st is like 2 days away so maybe 280 by March 1st?
It is pay weekend now though so lots of fresh fiat will be loaded into the exchanges.

It's funny how these bullish chart patterns are painting themselves in the middle of the Chinese night on the CNY side of OKCoin while all the other exchanges look like they are asleep. I guess this will keep going up in an automated fashion until someone pushes a button.
It's also funny how you cannot even really see the walls of the CNY side of OKCoin on charting sites.

Appearance from thread creator, Adam!
Bullish
On top of that it's a bullish Adam. Who knows what that could mean for Bitcoin
