A move of claiming only the top 20 segwit addresses alone right now would exceed the number of bitcoin stolen from Mt Gox. (>850,000 BTC). Now you made me even more sure it’s going to happen. 😈 I'm

and i have been very careful to keep them away from any segwit contamination... If that's the case, anyone can taint your legacy coin simply by sending you a donation from a segwit address. See this one

Wow! Much clearer to me now. Thanks. I did read this: Contrary to conventional and popular thought, the taking of the SegWit donations and kicking off the idiot snowflakes who believe cryptocurrency is

Call me paranoid, but Google has too much power. Bitcoin will be a wrecking ball to the centralized world's economy as it exceeds Tim Draper's predictions (as well as McAfee's). The stock to flow ratio

BTC that isn’t stored in legacy Satoshi v0.5.3 address which begin with a 1 and instead are stored in the “soft-forked” altcoin Bitco[i]n Core protocol addresses (aka SegWit) which begin with a 3, will

That's pretty interesting about May 27th, 2013. I had a friend in Las Vegas who got married on May 24th, 2013 (Giacomo Calabrese). He subsequently left astrology behind and became a minister. Happy

So this is a situation similar to what happened with Ethereum when it split into Eth Classic and Eth? So in the case of segwit (with the transaction headers off chain in a separate database) the soft fork

Do you know of any easy way I can read your message? You should just be able to see it unencrypted by using the memo private key or simply opening your wallet as if you were doing a Steem transfer. The

Evaporation prevention?

There's much to digest here. Brings back some things that I haven't thought about in years (secondary intentionality that Robert Schmidt used to talk about) and Bacon's insistence that nature had to be

Refer to my prior blog about the capital controls and “proof of source of funds” confiscations that are coming to kick people off of their BTC. Any other attacks other than the $5 wrench attack that I

The issue is Schelling points and game theory. Are you not clicking the links? Sorry. Lack of time. I'll try to get through all of this before asking more questions.

The immutability is a feature, not a bug. As Andreas Antonopoulos says... but even he admits that without privacy enhancements, the fungibility of bitcoin will suffer increasingly in the future. He's said

@anonymint has a very interesting take on the issue of transaction fees skyrocketing due to the stock to flow model...

I'm unclear as to why this is dystopian (unless transaction fees skyrocket to compensate for the successive loss of block reward every 4 years). If bitcoin value skyrockets, wouldn't the transaction fees

If you see someone doing something that you think infringes your right to enjoy your home, or the community you live in etc... In the USA the most likely culprit would be the police themselves.

I have a really hard time believing that Satoshi is a statist, which Craig Wright obviously is. He's stated that he doesn't approve of people using bitcoin to evade the legal system and wants censorable

I know for a fact that it was FB that distributed a credit card that I got in early 2016 when I was using that platform for advertising. The reason I know, is because they were the only company that had

I filed a copyright form TX if I remember right back in 2001 for my software and Philip Frankel (my copyright lawyer) said that I only needed the first 50 lines of code and the last 50 lines. I told him,

Socialization is no guarantee that they will accept each other. I've had pairs that stayed separate their entire lives even after weeks of split cages. After some point, you just have to accept that some
