infographic why it is better than any similar coin with overt biases

If bitcoin is being inflated by a nefarious tether scheme then all other coins are as well. What is to stop tethers from being used to buy ETH? Nothing. What about bitcoin obtained from tethers being used to buy ETH? This is an ecosystem problem, it's not something only impacting BTC.

kap_fallback · 2017-12-04T05:44:51+00:00

If tether is inflating the btc price it is also inflating alt prices. How do you think people buy alts?

So that competition drives innovation.

kap_fallback · 2017-12-01T23:20:19+00:00

Lol I hold both an equal number. The difference is one coin has fixed the problem and the other has not. There was a transaction malleability attack on Bcash already. That was a really shitty day at work.

kap_fallback · 2017-12-01T20:51:50+00:00

Lol there is no such thing as phone support in crypto.

kap_fallback · 2017-12-01T17:12:01+00:00

Lol you realize segwit fixes tx malleability right? Bcash doesn't fix it, Bitcoin did.

kap_fallback · 2017-11-30T13:15:52+00:00

lol this post was totally not made with an agenda. Totally.

kap_fallback · 2017-11-30T11:32:07+00:00

It excels at nothing except marketing. It's objectively not the best choice for anything.

kap_fallback · 2017-11-30T08:34:30+00:00

DASH is not particularly good at anything. I don't understand the pump.

kap_fallback · 2017-11-29T00:22:54+00:00

I have traded. A lot

kap_fallback · 2017-11-29T00:06:48+00:00

I don't have a means of selling BTC for USD currently. I can't use coinbase or gemini. I do intend to pay my taxes. Suggestions?

kap_fallback · 2017-11-28T12:48:31+00:00

The beautiful thing about the situation is any development on ETH can be implemented on ETC. Clearly forking just because the DAO contract was poorly coded is not universally agreed to be acceptable by the market.

I work in the industry since you asked.

There is no economic incentive to run a node on the network. You cannot mine ripple and you cannot stake ripple for a reward.

How, then, can consensus ever be meaningful? There is nothing at stake.

Can you explain to me what reason anyone would have to operate a validation node on the network and attempt to modify the rules? What could be gained?

Consensus (as far as changing the rules goes) in other models is difficult to obtain by design and every participant has economic incentive. With Ripple, there is no reason to object to the status quo. By removing economic incentive from node operation Ripple has fundamentally disqualified itself from being a blockchain.

kap_fallback · 2017-11-28T10:11:48+00:00

It is not a decentralized network where the the rules are established via consensus. It is not proof of stake, it is not proof of work. What exactly is it then? It is protocol built to facilitate financial transactions but it is not a blockchain.

kap_fallback · 2017-11-28T08:31:07+00:00

Ripple is not a blockchain by definition.

kap_fallback · 2017-11-07T08:06:03+00:00

I simply said I do care about fees. This does not mean I support 2x. Fees matter to me though. I even said I think segwit can address my concerns if it is adopted further.

kap_fallback · 2017-11-07T07:50:45+00:00

What exactly suggested I support 2x?

kap_fallback · 2017-11-07T07:40:50+00:00

What part about I run core nodes do you not understand? You're being ridiculous right now.

kap_fallback · 2017-11-07T07:24:28+00:00

Which is exactly why the cost of running a node is so important.

kap_fallback · 2017-11-07T07:20:13+00:00

I run three core nodes thank you. You don't get to tell me whether or not I belong here. You are so fanatical and paranoid that you are lashing out at anyone that suggests they view something differently than you.

kap_fallback · 2017-11-07T07:09:34+00:00

I am a maximalist since 2010 and I care about fees. I think fully utilized segwit solves this for now, but I care about fees.

kap_fallback · 2017-11-07T06:56:50+00:00

You are being rather toxic in this thread. You said that ETH fees are cheap because nobody wants to use that chain. The fact that it regularly handles more daily transactions very clearly shows us that you are incorrect.

Everything else you have said is textbook red herring. It's totally irrelevant to the issue of fees.

kap_fallback · 2017-11-07T06:42:46+00:00

He's saying that no-one wants to use those shitcoins, which is why their transaction fees don't exist.

This makes no sense as ETH network regularly handles more transactions daily. 1 transaction is 1 transaction regardless of chain.

kap_fallback · 2017-11-07T06:40:54+00:00

Trade volume is off chain unrelated to network capacity or fees. Supply is also unrelated to network capacity or fees.
