Does this mean we might finally see some funds returned from Mt Gox?

Some mainstream coverage on 60 minutes focusing mainly on the scam coins (because they make better news): https://www.9news.com.au/national/2018/02/18/21/42/60-minutes-new-cryptocurrency-auscoin

I'm not sure of your definition of "all time low". Bitinfocharts shows more like a month and a half low. Still too high for my business to be able to use, although lightning network might help that. BCash just kicks the can of scaleability down the road a little. It hasn't been pressure tested yet.

Indeed. I recently discovered Google Timeline. It's both scary stalkerish and actually useful for trying to remember, "When did I go to ...?"

Yeah, I was helping a friend sell some bitcoin today and we did a transaction for $1.52. Heaps better than $20. But still too high for commercial use.

That's so Santa can upgrade his technology to know when you are sleeping and know when you're awake.

Anything graphene based: Bitshares, Steem, and at some stage EOS. Bitshares is starting to get a lot of actual businesses starting to or planning to use it.

I don't hold. Missed out on the tokens, but been waiting for a card for ages. I guess I'll have to wait longer.

I believe there were only two of those ever sold and one has been redeemed. I loaned the guy who bought one of them $1000 in BTC back in the day to buy a mining rig. I can't remember the interest rate on the loan, but I think he may have done better than me (although from different deals). I...

Buzz 4x silver cards.

Announcement of the legalisation of cannabis exports. It opens up the market for AU companies to the world.

So competing with Steem's 3-second block intervals by using chains with 10 min blocks (BCH) or 15 seconds and congested with kitties (ETH)? Doesn't sound like much of a threat yet.

The ATO is small fry in all of this. You should be more concerned with the IRS, and they have a different tax year. Returns are due there end of April IIRC. Still a good warning not to spend any more than you can afford to lose. I only allocated 2% of my total portfolio. Crypto now makes up...

I tried a fee of $2 a couple of weeks before Christmas. I got impatient around the 2 week mark and boosted it by spending the change with a higher fee of around $20.

Same problem I had when I was decided whether to mine in 2011. Electricity costs here are too high. Profitability calculations relied on an assumption of increasing bitcoin price and steady-ish difficulty factor. If assuming an increasing bitcoin value, it was always better just to buy bitcoin...

Can the technology be switched over to a different/better platform down the track or are they married to ethereum?

bitcoin.com is also owned by Roger Ver, so by default a BCH shill. Great advertising ploy to get it taken up by the major news agencies, especially with its clickbait-y title.

The lightning network sounds a bit like Ripple, but backed by bitcoin rather than debt, so requires less trust. Edit to add: I just read the date on that article. Two years since the article, so LN has been a long time coming.

You could also look into a VPS at a data centre and let someone else worry about your uptime. You can get some low spec ones for $5/month.
