Many thanks to everyone who replied to my above post. I also don't believe such an attack will happen, and if it does, it will fail miserably, just like all the others before it. Bitcoin is growing fast and getting bigger and stronger day by day, and FUD is expected to intensify, especially around the time before/after the 2020 Halving. Business as usual.

@nutildah: I know there's currently one chain, but during the attack there will be a fork and two chains will exist at that time, the SegWit one (current) and the Legacy one. Those who keep their coins in Legacy addresses will end up with the same coins in the Legacy chain, plus the same amount of coins in the SegWit chain (like the BCH airdrop). Those who keep their coins in SegWit addresses will end up with the same coins in the SegWit chain, plus the same amount of coins in the Legacy chain, but those coins (in the Legacy chain) will be "free-to-spend" and will be taken from us and given as a reward to the mines for switching their mining operations over to the Legacy chain. So, those with coins in SegWit addresses will eventually end up with only those SegWit coins (in the SegWit chain), whose value will drop to near-zero due to the majority of the miners mining for the Legacy chain and enjoying the riches of their rewards.

Sorry for the spaghetti paragraph above, but that's how I understand it. It looks like total FUD to me, and it's not at all my intention to spread it, but I think it's worth discussing the different possibilities and the plausibility of different scenarios. More info = more security. Better safe than sorry.

BTC seems in the mood of touching sub-$8000 numbers today.

Nothing much to comment. Big blockers FUD. Halvening is getting closer and closer and bitcoin shorts will be rekt big time!

My sentiments are more or less same as you when comparing UE4 to Frostbite. But i wouldn't say Frostbite is light years ahead. if you want to do case study then forget Dragon Age : Inquisition and check out "Anthem", visually spectacular game but performance wise not so. This discussion going on for quite some time now and i don't see any change in status quo for next decade or so. Frostbite's engine is tough nut to crack for their devs, even experienced devs finds its difficult to work with, Plus they don't get much help from community as compared to UE4 when it comes to bugs etc.

Now read this: "heaven" and "hell" are nothing more than metaphoric synonyms for states of mind.
"heaven" for nirvana, enlightment and so on, while "hell" refers to suffering, misery, dystopia.
The original message of Jesus was distorted by the church, they just put in their own interpretations while translating the bible sources.
Over and over again.
Also, the name of god (JHW) was translated wrongly as "he, who is" (jehowa). Instead it was (jahwe) "all that is".
Otherwise, how could god be in all things, even inside us (#nohomo) and everywhere else?

Nietzsche (philosopher and writer) once came to the conclusion, that heaven and hell are not places we go to after death, but states of mind in a human life.
Take some sermons of Jesus, put them in contrast to this information and they finally start to make sense.

Is this blasphemy?
NO, in fact it's the opposite!

Short version: GET REAL  
Religion is a good thing, once it's not used to control people.
Only buddhism, which is not a religion, comes close to that, and the original christian movement was very alike.

I could go on and on about this, but i don't have the time to convince you and all...

Also, why does nobody in this stupid impeachment hearing ask to be shown where in the god damned constitution does it allow American citizens to have money stolen from them and sent to Ukranian Nazis?  Funding Nazis is great and everything, but I'm pretty sure the founding fathers did not create a system to physically steal money from you, put it on a truck, and send it to other countries 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  The government is stealing from you and sending trucks full of money to Iran, to the evil Jews in Israel, and to Ukranian Nazis all at the same time.  How does that possibly make sense?

Well, if we're getting into some fundamentalist shit:

Rush, It is also a good movie.

Or she has a really basic af face.

Its complete bullshit.


What do you mean "Legacy chain?" There's only 1 chain. SegWit addresses are just addresses displayed in a different format. They both are derived from the same type of private key.


No. There is only 1 chain: the Bitcoin Blockchain.


Your SegWit coins are not in any danger.


There are no bad questions, so yes.


Yes. In short, a 51% attack would have to be carried out in order for the "anyone can spend" ruse to come to fruition. So they are just as safe as any other bitcoins in any other type of address.

Any time Shelby writes anything he's basically just saying "PAY ATTENTION TO ME!!!" Each and every time.

Correct answer bother i appreciate it.

Best not do that.

...

Re Shelby Moore's theory of forced SegWit donations, I would suggest that there might be a way to see as the next months go by.

On the Long range advance notice! thread, I mentioned several block winners (pools) and listed the first six alphanumerics of their receiving wallets.   I examined 100 recent blocks to see who won, and their receiving addresses.  I chose 100 to get a reasonable sample to examine (blocks 604143 - 604242).  Of the 17 unique addresses (winners), seven were SegWit (3....) or Native SegWit addresses (bc1q....).  The "3" and the "bc1q" addresses won 33 of those 100 blocks.

My data is here:

I submit that the miners (who we presume are not dummies) will not allow their BTC from 3s to be stolen, so soon before we should expect that those SW receiving addresses would be changed to Legacy addresses (1....).

Perhaps all the advance notice we need is to observe if/when the above miners using SW addresses to switch them over to Legacy addresses in the run-up to (or perhaps just after) the May 2020 Halvening.

If they suddenly start switching..., then they would probably have a very good reason.

Your comments encouraged!

You are quoting the ideas of a banned user who had been spouting off such nonsense for the last two years.  If everyone moved their segwit address coins to legacy addresses then such behavior would make such an attack more likely and more plausible... just what they
FUDDingly wished that all of us would do.  Fuck them.  Keep using Segwit.  It's a superior product.

Oh LOL, it's OK.

That guy looks like Dorian Nakamoto as far as I can guess.

Reasonably respected personal finance author Robert Kiyosaki mentions in his recent book Fake three kinds of money:

-- "God's Money" (gold and silver)
-- "People's Money" (Bitcoin)
-- "Government Money" (fiat = FRNs, taxes must be paid in $/FRNs)

He's good with two of the above three, I'll leave it to you guys to guess which one he does not like...

Do you know why god created a devil or the sub-sistem?  So that your mindset goes out from the paradise. Do you know why it's not good to be in paradise? Because you don't evolve. Because you don't need to. So there is a negative force pushing you to think, to evolve and to find a solution. To get some experience before your consciousness evolves. We will reincarnate until we evolve enough to reach the next levels. So the president does not have to be picked from the god directly because there are sub-sistems created to manage  the lower areas.

Tried Terminator Resistance.  Not very good gameplay.  It uses Unreal Engine 4 - a laggy as shit, high overhead, low performance engine.  Going to try Borderlands 3 next which uses the same engine.  I have a theory all Unreal Engine 4 games are crap.  The engine doesn't even really feel suitable for real-time video games.  The UE4 render pipeline is just too convoluted with bullshit more suitable for rendering a movie than a game.  

Unreal Engine 3 was also bad, and most of it's games were crap as well, but there were a few decent ones like Borderlands 1-2.  Having said that, even it's good games had a total lack of physics, which is pretty inexcusable considering HL2 engine had amazing, perfect physics YEARS ago near the same era utilizing barely any overhead at all.  Now I'm seeing Unreal Engine 4 games with the same bullshit total lack of physics in 2019 - totally insane. EA's Frostbite engine was considered 'not optimal' for making games like Dragon Age: Inquisition, yet it's lightyears ahead of Unreal Engine 4 in performance, input lag, and everything else you can imagine.
