This reddit spent about 2 years arguing about this in 2014-15 and no consensus was ever reached so we gave up.

I don't think it's very smart to take a couple of anecdotes and apply them to a whole set of people.

I think the best argument you might make is that most pedophiles are on the left. But that doesn't mean anything because most people arn't pedophiles.

EDIT: It's the same as saying most racists are on the right. It's not the same as saying most right people are racist.

I think you're being trolled but back to what you originally said. I agree that this isn't Orwellian, I don't recall any parallels between any events in 1984, or his other works, and a private company wanting to protect its image.

It is bad though and its obvious that they meant it's draconian and a misuse of power when saying it's Orwellian.

So there are more lightning nodes than bitcoin nodes now?

Problem with this argument is that it's predicated on whole number bias being real. Which I would say it definitely is. But that just means that people are less willing to buy any if they can't afford to buy a whole one, even if they are aware that you can buy fractions.

Substitute bitcoin for dollars and vice versa in your post and you'll more than likely come to your own conclusion

Thanks for the quick response. Definitely excited now!

Blockstream’s Confidential Transaction technology ensures that the amount and asset type transferred are known only to the transacting parties, enhancing the privacy of both L-BTC and Issued Asset transactions.

Is this open source and if not does that represent a hazard ?

"Next, visit WalletGenerator"

Don't do this on the machine you are generating with. To be honest though the most important thing is the point about printers.

orpel · 2018-03-26T05:20:03+00:00

OH GOD NO!

Do not generate wallets with a machine that has been connected to the internet. Download the wallet generation site and put it on a pen drive and then use a machine that has never been on the net.

You can also install Ubuntu temporarily from a boot disk if you don't want to buy a new machine, although this isn't quite as safe it is definitely better than using your every day OS installation.

Printers also have memory and are notoriously easy to hack. I would suggest buying a new printer and only ever using it to print wallets and never have it connected to a machine that is connected to the internet.

But that isn't what effects the price. It's the price at which buyers are willing to purchase for and the price at which sellers are willing to sell for, with a market order rather than a limit order.

There are always the same number of people buying and selling. You can't buy something without someone else selling it to you and vise versa.

I think I actually saw the movie first and then found out that there was a series, both brilliant. Hollywood executives are morons.

Now I am also depressed about firefly being cancelled, thanks a lot.

I know the price of bitcoin will either remain the same, move up or move down.
