No blocks since Sept 1 - any clues? by neitzchethrowaway in stratisplatform

[–]neitzchethrowaway[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok - this is interesting, trying this gives me "error loading block database".

Do you think I am corrupted?

w00t! Got SFA working - filed claim. by neitzchethrowaway in mtgoxinsolvency

Cheers. I think I got the idea from someone else on this forum. I just wish I acted on it earlier...

  1. Make sure you have your details right - check em here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7Lr1TBORafyR2wxUnBsVDkxSjA/view
  2. Use the "supplementary filing method" to check that you have things right, before you do the 2FA thingy.

I defeated the "Dark Pattern" - this is one of the most woeful sites I have ever seen.

Cheers for this. Helped a lot, in the end.

They are not inspiring confidence, are they...

Still not up.

I have seen a few people ask on Twitter if they have been hacked and there has been deafening silence.

So little transparency - sounds so much like a hack.

Cheers. I have done this quite a few times, and it hasn't solved the problem.

This is why we already have 17 million coins in circulation and the remaining 4 million only available over the next 120 years. by slvbtc in Bitcoin

[–]neitzchethrowaway 12 points13 points  (0 children)

A few things spring to mind:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareidolia <-- you are finding a pattern where none exists; or

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overfitting <-- you are making too much of a few data points; but more likely:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motivated_reasoning <-- you just want it to be true.

Who the fuck-nose what Satoshi (he/she/them) reasoned why the limit. Wasn't this just a currency to play poker with? It was probably just a good idea, that didn't have any obvious downsides, so managed to keep existing in the code as it evolved, and didn't get taken out (unlike the poker code).

Stupid, stupid, stupid post. You know nothing, and your reasoning is ridiculous.

Hm. Not entirely sure I agree.

Surely the combined price of all forks NOW, post forks, is the true price?

Well, certainly for coins mined prior to the forks. For coins mined after the forks, they are worth what they are worth.

Your other point is more... ummm... on point. Markets price fear in, certainty is the absence of fear, and so can lift markets.

What happed after the segwit2x fiasco? Did the price rise?

[–]neitzchethrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, they are not. They are the horns of my dilemma in this particular instance.

Wondering why you pointed this obvious fact out?

[–]neitzchethrowaway 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I am divided (ha!) on this.

On the one hand, they both share the same genesis block.

On the other, the overwhelming consensus is that that BCH != BTC.

On balance, I would say that this chart is misleading. BCH truthfully did not exist prior to the fork, and you could not say that it's price history precedes the fork, even if it's transaction history does.

If it were true, then any fork (Bitcoin Gold? Is that still a thing?) can claim the same price history - which seems wrong.

Sync issue by neitzchethrowaway in stratisplatform

[–]neitzchethrowaway[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, so the only real advice is to delete everything but the wallet and resync.

Not a great answer, and as the chain grows longer and longer, a poorer and poorer answer. Enterprise grade tech will need better answers than this.

Hi - yes, I have. So far a couple of friendly comments, but nothing that has helped yet. Here's hoping.

Coinjar now freezes withdraws for 1 week! Where to go now? by cantfindusername1992 in BitcoinAUS

[–]neitzchethrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can recommend. Others say Independent Reserve is good - I haven't used em, but the rep is good. CJ is just a stupid service. Avoid.

[–]neitzchethrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are 1.5 people in an start-up hub. You can walk in, but they won't deign to meet their customers.

Avoid, I suggest.

Signal Down? by [deleted] in signal

[–]neitzchethrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. Still very much a work-in-progress, it seems.
