'If it goes lower than 10 k, then that's not a correction. That's destruction.' Then all the fancy ASICs will become fishing sinkers. A lot of rich guys will have egg on their faces. Then everyone will, as in the beginning, be able to mine Bitcoin on their laptops. 'It might as well go to...

'Wasn't Litecoin "abandoned"? It's like a rusty ghost ship floating astray...' Tee hee Drifting at nos 21 on the charts. Given a little patience, TreasureHunter, there's a really good conversation to be had here. Are cryptos about merchant adoption? Are they just an arena of scammy...

' but for me it's about utility and a couple of the markets I trade in are predominantly paired with LTC' Because Litecoin was launched so early, it has a fabulous suite of exchanges. So mmm shiney is spot on in this. 'The big question is: which ones should be taken seriously (and bought up)...

Edited: There seems a stubbornness here to delve into a particular thing: Bitcoin et al. almost single handedly sparked an astonishing increase in the types of instruments that are arguably 'money.' And this thread was begun to discuss those nuances. It's years since the shuttle blasted off...

'Any ideas how or if it will tie in with other crypto’s (ethereum/neo/eos etc)? Looks like they’re targeting its use during the 2022 winter olympics.' Two first thoughts: One: you will or will not have to, you will or will not choose to, ante up for KYC/cavity search. Two: beyond that, think...

' correct me if I’m wrong, but I was under the understanding that China is for the most part a digital payment society? Doesn’t everyone use either Alipay or Wechat pay? That’s why I said this new crypto currency is more or less the same as what they are using now.' As willrocks succinctly...

'yawn.... So for all practical purposes, more or less the same as it is now.' Even worse, Leo! We saw hints of this in the 'bail-ins' of the 2013 Cyprus crisis: Gubmint just takes control of your bank account. But at least in this case there is still physical currency changing hands down at...

' . . . a centralized economic governance model designed specifically to allow central-bank-like quantitative easing and quantitative tightening within set tolerances.' https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5249685.0 Is it something the Gubmint puts in our water? Were they not breast-fed as...

Pardon me for being That Guy: it's not a crypto. ' . . . the Chinese government has begun a pilot program for an official digital version of its currency.' ' . . . would also offer China’s authorities a degree of control never possible with physical money.'...

OMG OMG!! I got almost all of it right. Downloaded the SPN wallet. Bought some SPN. Sent it to the wallet. Pulled the wallet.dat file out. Played around with it -- couldn't actually build a new one from a Notepad file -- next time. This included copying the dat file to a usb; deleting the dat...

I have a multi-multi-coin PW generator in my downloads. Done a few practice runs. But not quite ready to put big chunks of coin into pw's.

'you want some help doing this?' Thanks so much for the offer. Let me puddle along. Then I may ask. Also wanna move to a paper-wallet-based storage system for My Fave Coin And why I'm not familiar with this is a long and embarassing story. But the first time I got it r right -- deleted the...

'Anybody know anything about this and how to get hold of it without being scammed?' I feel comfortable to say: Don't! First, you need to do your ABCs of crypto security. You can PM me; I'll help. Or maybe set up a DOGE coin 'Electrum' wallet, and ask me for a few DOGE to play with. But in...

I m a i n l y use (old-school) full-blockchain QTs. Anyone wanna practice 're-building' one from a saved dat file? We'll use an almost-dead coin. And paper wallets? I just want a little more practice with this.
