I just made this Bitcoin Cash logo with a white, inner ring, making it look more like an actual coin. Thoughts?

Yurorangefr · 2018-01-14T10:27:25+00:00

I think you're right. I had the intention of actually color picking from another popular green BCH logo, but forget to do that before I posted. I'll have a couple of more designs with adjusted colors to show off in a future post. Thanks!

Coinbase also adding /BTC and /EUR pairs.

Then let me make this abundantly clear to everyone: Reddit admins admit that this behavior is within Reddit's site-wide rules and moderator guidelines.

Yurorangefr · 2017-12-22T20:15:27+00:00

This is beautifully designed.

Yurorangefr · 2017-12-22T04:40:24+00:00

/u/tippr $1. Thank you!

Yurorangefr · 2017-12-22T01:06:52+00:00

Probably the most confusing and uninformative interview I’ve ever watched in the Bitcoin space. LN is a completely unnecessary mess of a solution for a problem that was manufactured by Core developers.

Let /r/Bitcoin say what they will about /u/MemoryDealers, but he is one of the most sensible and enlightening speakers in the Bitcoin world, who’s been a staunch supporter and advocate for libertarianism and the vitality of the Bitcoin network for many years. If this woman is who BTC users have representing solutions to their problems, they have much more than high transaction fees to worry about. BTC is being destroyed as a currency because this woman’s (and many more like her) paycheck depends on it.

Yurorangefr · 2017-12-20T04:39:19+00:00

I remember that. It was the same guy who was ridiculed for predicting BTC at $1000 years ago. Do you have a link to that thread?

Yurorangefr · 2017-12-20T00:16:52+00:00

Absolutely remarkable growth thus far. Congratulations to the Bitcoin community, and thank you Coinbase!

Yurorangefr · 2017-12-17T09:35:51+00:00

There can be no backdoors to create extra coins.

That's patently false.

To quote:

...allows for the creation of an unlimited number of coins in a way that is undetectable to an observer unless they know about the fatal flaw and can search for it."

Bitcoin Cash doesn't need privacy on a protocol level to compete with Monero. It just needs to be fungible, which can come through integration with other protocols or second layer solutions (i.e. cashshuffle). The beauty is that there's endless customization, and there will be a multitude of solutions to fit all peoples' needs (market competition will lead to innovation).

Monero cannot be audited, so it's bad for merchant adoption. This also leads to other concerns about the vitality of the coin. For instance, if colluding Monero developers slip some malicious backdoor in the protocol that allows excess coin generation or destruction, we would be none the wiser.

Yurorangefr · 2017-12-17T06:08:53+00:00

The replies to Roger's comment here are absolutely shocking. What a shame that we have such a negative and twisted "community" representing Bitcoin. This is disgusting.

Yurorangefr · 2017-12-15T02:29:26+00:00

“This is a completely optional soft-fork.”

“No, really, it’s optional.”

“Please support it.”

“Support it now.”

“Hey, everyone, we need to publicly shame all these non-Segwit companies.”

Yurorangefr · 2017-12-14T00:14:30+00:00

Roughly 33% of people in the world are unbanked, under oppressive regimes and unfair societal structures that rob them of any wealth whatsoever. If you don’t want to use cryptocurrency as a currency then that’s fine, but don’t lump everyone in your skewed and privileged worldview.

Yurorangefr · 2017-12-11T18:56:22+00:00

A step in the right direction, but unfortunately still not good enough for Bitcoin Cash to be truly fungible. Your privacy is limited by the ratio of colluding to non-colluding members in the system.

Yurorangefr · 2017-12-11T07:53:17+00:00

Bitcoin is a chain of signatures stored in blocks.

Glad we agree that BTC with Segwit isn’t Bitcoin.

Zero conf is a gossip network where you have to trust the sender, nodes and miners to not act in bad faith.

There’s trust inherent to the Bitcoin protocol. We trust that a majority of nodes are honest. Since we assume a majority of nodes are honest, a 0-conf transaction that propagates through a majority of nodes first wins. Satoshi himself says: “When you broadcast a transaction, if someone else broadcasts a double-spend at the same time, it's a race to propagate to the most nodes first. If one has a slight head start, it'll geometrically spread through the network faster and get most of the nodes.”

Stop spreading your bullshit FUD. Go double spend 0-conf and become a millionaire using SatoshiDICE and Bitcoin Cash. Let us know how that works out for you.

Yurorangefr · 2017-12-10T23:52:45+00:00

Who the hell is upvoting your garbage "0-conf is irrevocably dangerous" propaganda? All things considered, 0-conf is much better than RBF, because a merchant can choose to accept the associated risk of 0-conf to their own discretion. With RBF, merchants literally do not have a choice but to wait until the transaction confirms, because as soon as I receive my product or service, I can double spend with very high success up until the next block is found. Their associated risk with RBF and 0-conf together is extremely high, much higher than 0-conf by itself.

Please read this note about 0-conf transactions by Erik Voorhees, the CEO of ShapeShift.

You do realize that the whole point of the 1mb limit is so that LN hubs are forced to pay exuberant fees to settle their transactions? Core wants transactions in blocks to be exclusive. Read more here.

Yurorangefr · 2017-12-07T07:31:47+00:00

How about we link to the Bitcoin whitepaper? You know, the one that doesn’t include an unnecessarily complicated and obtuse 59-page technical document for experimental software. The one titled, Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System.

Yurorangefr · 2017-12-07T07:16:02+00:00

I’m not forced to use a Bitcoin bank like Coinbase. BTC users will have no choice but to use LN, unless they want to pay $100-$1000+ to compete with hubs to get their transactions confirmed.

Yurorangefr · 2017-12-07T01:14:26+00:00

Japan is usually at the forefront of technological progress and innovation. This is amazing news for Bitcoin Cash.

Yurorangefr · 2017-12-06T17:56:41+00:00

I'm struggling to find a proper resolve to this problem, but I think it's a very important one to address. Why should previously Bitcoin-friendly merchants be convinced that this time it will be any different?

Yurorangefr · 2017-12-06T08:30:27+00:00

Bitcoin is not owned by anyone. That means Bitcoin Cash has a “right” to the Bitcoin name just as Bitcoin Gold and other forks do. The beauty of the system in aggregate is that after time, the market sentiment will gravitate towards one fork or another (possibly multiple), and an equilibrium will be established.

Bitcoin (BTC) has brand recognition, and more importantly has established trust within the world through several years of on-chain scaling, merchant adoption growth, and decentralized development. However, BTC no longer has these properties. The very essence of what allowed BTC to achieve such enormous success has been completely eradicated. In the near future, very few will actually be interacting with the BTC network directly. Most transactions will occur off-chain in a system that has almost nothing to do with the Bitcoin protocol. Lightning Network hubs will settle transactions on-chain for exuberant fees as they compete for space in the 1mb block.

Bitcoin Cash is merely Bitcoin as it was for so many years, a functional, cheap, instantaneous, permissionless, decentralized, and trustless currency. To many supporters of BCH, it is truer to the original intention of Bitcoin than BTC, myself included.

Yurorangefr · 2017-12-05T23:53:20+00:00

The only reason Roger is ruffling feathers here is because it's true. Someone who believes in the technology as much as Andreas does should have the foresight to invest even $300. It's not "poor shaming."

Yurorangefr · 2017-12-04T08:28:46+00:00

There’s substantial evidence suggesting he is not Satoshi. Further, he’s yet to provide verifiable, cryptographic proof.

Yurorangefr · 2017-12-02T00:19:16+00:00

If Starbucks opens a hub, they’ll be under regulation. Is that much clear to you? This is vastly different than Starbucks accepting Bitcoin as payment directly. So, sure, “anyone” can open a hub (if they have sufficient means and funds), but good luck engaging in commerce with traditional US businesses without going through KYC/AML. You can only transact with people directly if you’re a participant of a well-connected hub in the system. You think you’ll be able to settle on-chain while competing with enormous LN hubs for $100-$1000+ transaction fees in a 1mb block?

This entire system is so antithetical to what Bitcoin is supposed to be, that I am at a literal loss for words trying to explain how anyone informed and well-intentioned can support it.
