Kashmir Hill ratchets up the racism again (self.Bitcoin) submitted 2 hours ago by pdtmeiwn https://twitter.com/kashhill/status/467423697423200256 Instead of praising the Blockchain award winners for their contributions to the ecosystem, she chides them for their whiteness and maleness. Instead of appreciating them as individuals who have accomplished great things, all she can see is the color of their skin. Her first instinct is not to praise, nor to explore further, but rather, to categorize and lump. It's a subtle form of dehumanization. We need fewer people like that in the Bitcoin world. Heck, we need fewer bigots anywhere in the world. [–]RuecanOnRails 4 points an hour ago She lost my respect when she applauded the Dorian doxing as great journalism. She still hasn't retracted her support for newsweek and believes it was well done with nothing wrong. [–]AstarJoe 2 points 17 minutes ago It is sad that in today's uber-aware society we have sacrificed our humanity for some form of warped political correctness. The subtle notion that the race of the participants was somehow indicative of exclusion. Kash is just a child of her times. Emphasis on child. Kash. as a thought experiment, I assign you to comment on several photos of awards ceremonies the winners of which are entirely not white male. Then substitute, "I just keep laughing when I look at it. "x" = bunch of "y" "z's"." How would that work out for you and your little cupcake of a career, Kash? Or do you have that brand of journalistic "courage"? [–]Penischopper78 4 points 2 hours ago Sad to see people falling for this white guilt thing. Who cares if they are qualified or not. As long as we have some darker skinned less male people working on Bitcoin, so Kashmir can feel good about herself everything will be great! [–]bitalias 1 point 2 hours ago I am a large cracker.

Another "Why Bitcoin will succeed" post (self.Bitcoin) submitted an hour ago by viper2097 I was booking a flight to Bali to attend a friends wedding, I spent a good hour making sure everything was right, Making sure I got direct flights and at the most convenient times, Making sure my flights were the best price, choosing the best seats and so on. When I got to the end I was glad it was all over and excited to just enter my credit card in and be done with all the logistical stuff, I noticed the site had a "Verified by Visa" logo sitting above the place where you enter in your credit card. I entered in all my details and after I pressed "go" I was told that my payment was denied and I would have to activate internet banking to enable Verified by Visa but the worst part is that after I clicked "ok" I was taken right back to the airlines home page and all of my flight booking details that took so much time to fill in were gone! I already have internet banking so I immediately contacted my bank and after about an hour of sitting on hold, I finally got through to a lady who told me I would just have to log into my internet banking to activate verified by visa, Since I use internet banking all the time, I knew that if that were the case then Verified by Visa should already be working with my account and after arguing with her for a while, I gave up and did what she asked and then said good bye. I went back to the airline's website and spent even more time entering all my information back into the site and as I had suspected, I got the same error message and my payment was declined... AGAIN! Getting more and more frustrated I called the Bank back and started my wait on hold and after a while I finally get through to some lady who seems like she knows her stuff, She makes a call to her back end support team and they find the problem and tell me its fixed. I go back to the airline's site to book my flight one last time and notice that my flight has been sold out and the only other flight I can get will cost 3 times the amount. Awesome! Now because the bank wouldn't let me spend MY OWN MONEY from my own Visa debt card, I now have to spend $600 on my flights instead of $200. God I hate the banks! [–]1000_kisses_deep 2 points an hour ago It's so much better to use a currency that takes 10 days to acquire. [–]coare 1 point 18 minutes ago Yeah I hate those holds the banks put on large deposits. oh wait unless you are talking about the FIRST TIME you buy btc that can take a few days... but that's only one time.. not like banks

Will there be a bank that makes use of the blockchain? (self.Bitcoin) submitted 41 minutes ago by TreeWithInfiniteCats This isn't directly related to btc, but I think most of us would agree the blockchain is really the key part of btc. What's holding them back? Using the blockchain, or a variant, would mean a massive ease on supervision. You could trade 24/7, but also be insured against fraud. It's a win-win for bank and customer. If a blockchain-bank would rise up and ask - say - 25 dollars a year in exchange for which I get a debit card and insurance, I'd be a happy camper. This would aggrevate the libertarians here, but isn't it possible, hell, even likely, that banks will adopt the blockchain in 10-25 years, even if trading in dollars continues?

Verge of a big run? (self.Bitcoin) submitted 2 hours ago by wbredin I have some vested interest, yes, but, i'm wondering if you all feel like we are on the cusp of having the price increase dramatically. I don't want this to be a circle jerk. I'm saying this mostly as a way to harvest concrete facts as to why it may go up. Here are mine, they are very limited, I would love you all to add your own points. I see GOX as an early adoption pitfall that happens with any new system. I'm not phased. Paypal and BTC seem to be talking. That's a good thing Everyone knows what Bitcoin is (media, word of mouth, ect, it's gone cray in the last 6 months) Multiple signature tech (allows for the possibility of a 3rd party becoming involved, insurance anyone?) 3rd world countries are taking notice...(the ability to bypass the moneygram charges seems too appealing) and on and on.. GO! [–]twentyseventy 4 points an hour ago While I feel like we've hit bottom myself, all this speculation about a run up very well may cause a big run up. At some point, it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy (in the short term). I expect June / July to be very profitable in terms of USD

What was the overall feel/emotion like just before the november bubble? (self.Bitcoin) submitted 3 hours ago by kfull Was it like it is now with people making their predictions and wondering as to when the next bubble will occur? Was it more neutral emotion where nobody saw the bubble coming? Or was it bearish emotion thinking that the markets could take a dive? [–]EnglishBulldog 8 points 3 hours ago Chaos, pure chaos. We had every dynamic going on at that time. Some of us were flying high after the April bubble, some had just taken notice and were scrambling to sign up with an exchange to start accumulating and some were cautious and waiting to see what happened. We had our usual trolling too. Like I said, it was all over the place. During the run up, you literally went to bed and woke up richer. Every day I woke up and looked at the charts and just grinned ear-to-ear. [–]bitpotluck 2 points an hour ago Me too. Cant wait for history to repeat.  [–]midoridrops 3 points 3 hours ago It was pretty neutral, but going from $100 to $200.. that's when poo poo started hitting the fan. Let's just say.. I had few charts up, both hands held up high saying "ohhhhhmyyygoooooood" to my parents, right up until $1200. [–]wtfbitcoinwtf 3 points 2 hours ago I remember sitting at work on a computer and watching clarkmoody, telling my client I was watching a historical event in the making. I remember zooming out of that buy / sell depth graph, and seeing what resembled a 1000 foot tsunami buy wave ready to crash down into the sell ocean floor. It was amazing and it was history in the making. Yeah [–]homad 1 point an hour ago hehe. while delivering pizza. a customer asked, "how's it going?" I replied with something like, "you know bitcoin?...it's hitting historic highs right now! Fascinating stuff!" This contrasted by another customer saying, such and such was just found guilty and i was just like huh, who the gently caress is that...who cares lol [–]melacs 1 point an hour ago I got the impression that before the bubble, the price was going up slowly and people got excited by just that. The price hike fed on this initial excitement and people lost their minds. The bubble was actually annoying as well as exciting for me. I had preferred a steady rise over time. I remember people arguing whether it was a bubble or just 'to the moon'. Obviously it was a bubble, but since people didn't know when it would burst it still didn't mean that they shouldn't step in.

Suggestion for fixing centralized mining: "Pool Attendance" - Compensation of mining rewards. (self.Bitcoin) submitted an hour ago by FjornHorn I had an half-baked idea on some possible ways to fix pool flocking of mining power. The reason for miners to point their mining power to larger pools seems to be higher BTC rewards (marginal). This causes a form of Tragedy of the commons - The pool grows dangerously close to 51% and while the community as a whole tries to prevent this, miners will stay put hoping someone else moves away first. I have no mining power, but am willing to invest a small amount of my BTC to keep mining de-centralized - This is important - the stability of the protocol, price and integrity of the network depends on it Proposal Create a "Adopt-a-miner" stash of mBTC (how?) Non-mining bitcoiners can pay pledges to an amount of mining power at a certain (smaller) pool - making those (normally less-rewarding) pools more profitable for a few days/weeks. This causes the miners to spread out to collect this extra reward. Bonus: Get miners to mine on P2P pool Problems There will have to be a way to measure "Proof of Hashing-redirected" - Could pool operators help with this? Numbers & Digits A 540Gh/s miner is about 3000USD. A miner like that mines about 0.934BTC per month. By paying him 0.1BTC for moving to a smaller, less profitable pool (hence helping the network) he will end up in a WinWin situation: a) He's supporting the network, his investment, in a better way b) He ends up with more BTC.

[–]Notapanicseller 1 point 4 hours ago The hype of a bunch of kids who think their 5 dollar investment will make them rich by pretending to be "nice and friendly". [–]Notapanicseller 2 points an hour ago* I have no problem with Dogecoin. I doubt many people here have. What people simply do have a problem with is the non stop and often pathetic Doge spam. And also the "fun and friendly" bs. We ALL know it's nothing but marketing to try to raise the value of an useless alt coin. Please stop acting like it's anything else. And even that is fine. Just do it somewhere else. This is the Bitcoin sub. Just stay in your own sub and stop spamming this one and you will rarely see any hate towards the Doge community.
