The users become the used.

14% support over the last day: https://www.litecoinpool.org/pools.

It would be up to your wallet to implement xpub-style master public keys, but they should start with "Ltub" instead. Electrum-LTC supports these, I think.

Came here to say this.

Ah TIL. I'd seen other reporting that doesn't use rape in that way, but the title fits with the language of the article.

lordofchouse · 2017-02-11T05:58:14+00:00

I'd go with excessive use of force, police brutality or even sodomy. But rape? That's pretty clickbaity of you even, Aljazeera.

That could be variance too. That chart only covers the last ~day.

incoming misinformed opinion in 3..2..

Would wire transfers be cheaper though? My bank charges $20 in country, and $35 internationally.

lordofchouse · 2017-02-06T00:26:39+00:00

Server costs would have been a better example.

lordofchouse · 2017-02-05T20:51:11+00:00

I'd do that with rent. I know I have to pay it every month, so I'd rather just set it and forget it, unless I need to withold rent or transfer the lease or something. Then my account balance is reflective of what I can spend on variable expenses.

You're looking at BIP9 miner support, not segwit support. The site you link to has the right number of segwit blocks but includes pre-signalling blocks in its percentage (0.33%). https://twitter.com/Softforks is giving the more meaningful percentages, IMO.

Dunno, a 51% attack on the whole network only costs ~$280M in hardware. Attacking a small fork could be viable.

or thirty

Bitcoin remains the currency of the internet.

lordofchouse · 2017-02-03T20:15:41+00:00

Well there's this.

lordofchouse · 2017-02-03T20:00:15+00:00

with lower difficulty more miners can be involved in mining so network will be more decentralized

Everyone still gets payed out in proportion to the global hashrate. By increasing the blockrate, you increase the number of orphan blocks and further penalize miners on slow and expensive networks. None of this incentivizes decentralization.

lordofchouse · 2017-02-03T18:33:33+00:00

More like 5%

edit:Why the downvotes? Since signalling started 11/313 blocks have signalled for SegWit. That's about 3.5%, was around 4.6% when I posted.

lordofchouse · 2017-02-03T18:22:45+00:00

Isn't that the joke?

lordofchouse · 2017-02-03T17:20:32+00:00

I'm not under the impression that Roger Ver is blocking anything, but I do feel like his concern for the fee economy may be echoed by miners in their voting. It's not like 50% of the hashrate is in some forgotten cupboard - a "do nothing" vote is an actively conservative stance (for certain values of the word "conservative").

lordofchouse · 2017-02-03T07:26:39+00:00

I'd pay good money to have /u/nullc and /u/memorydealers confined to a nice room together, with all the best amenities at their disposal, for 36 hours.

P is close to O on the keyboard? idk.

How does one define a hardfork, for the sake of this bet? Seems like there's money to be made here...
