The weird transaction cost in ripple is that you always have to leave 20 XRP to the account. LOL.

What do you think about bitcoin debit card providers, xapo, coinsbank etc? Do you consider them as "paying with bitcoin"? As I understand they are quite popular nowadays.

So this kind of defines value = able to raise lots of money. That just doesn't make sense to me. Also the idea that you should be paid more because you have kids is same logic that communists used "to everyone according to their n

"Once the wallet is charged, payments on websites take only one click, are never falsely rejected by fraud detection and do not pose any risk of phishing or identity theft." Pretty bold claims. Anyone can give ELI5 how it works? M

Why not just go straight to the ICO? Most projects seem to do that and they still manage to raise those millions.

I used to made iPhone apps which cost few dollars back in the days. Worked great for me the time being, now I have moved to other stuff. Not everything needs to work indefinitely, software or business can have a lifespan, and I think that&#

I guess the only difference between these services is pricing... It is very nice concept because of the simplicity. Hope we'll see more competition in this field.

Why exactly is spoofing illegal? How do you differentiate legitimate order canceling from spoofing? Trading is very emotional process. You place order, 5 minutes later you decide to cancel it, 10 minutes later you decide to place another or

An instrument can be a useful tool for value transfer and storage, without being that useful for pricing. There are however some people that price their "services" in BTC, most notably ransomware criminals. I think also bets are q

The use-cases for smart contracts seem to be quite low, so I wonder if it really is worth the investment to learn to develop smart contracts. Additionally, even the smart contracts written by the experienced ethereum developers have contain

The question is, do they use or plan to use this technology in production? I very much doubt that, at least anytime soon. However great opportunity to pump the price :)

Credit card loads are the best to me as a consumer, since there is 0% interest for 1,5 month on average.

That agreement seems very general, doesn't indicate that the participants will run specific code. Segwit2x client didn't even exist at that time, first release was yesterday. People are just making this bullshit up.

Well certainly it will be interesting if this trick gets miners to signal segwit, as currently the segwit signaling is only around 45%.

If miners would do a hard fork with different protocol rules, that would be called something other than bitcoin, maybe "segwit2x-bitcoin" or something.

by jerguismi 9y ago
Bitcoin protocol is defined by bitcoin core client, and I would guess more than 99% percent of the services that process bitcoin transactions use that client. The services don't follow actively the hash rate and they won't change

Miners can mine segwit2x blocks all they wish, but since services/exchanges are running core client, they are just mining invalid blocks from their viewpoint, and those blocks are ignored. That means miners can't sell their mined

All those claiming that coinbase is planning to run segwit2x, please link to a statement provided by a representative of that company. I think you are just talking bullshit.
