NASDAQ: "What Bitcoin Slump?" by ImNotRocketSurgeon in Bitcoin

[–]goldcakes -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

My opinion is that Bitcoin has not suffered a crash. Remember the rally to $1200? That was bought by MtGox. We later found out that MtGox operated a trading bot (that artificially purchased 570,000 BTC)[http://www.coindesk.com/bot-named-willy-did-mt-goxs-automated-trading-pump-bitcoin-price/] and drove up the price of "bitcoin" on Gox.

My opinion is that Bitcoin never hit $1200. When the market manipulation of MtGox's bots stopped, the free market has been correcting the price back to where it should be. You'll notice that before the Willy bot started, Bitcoin was around $200.

You're thinking there will be a "war". There won't be. There's just going to be one guy and his cult members desperately begging for acceptance, while everyone else is on the main chain.

No questions asked refund policy by j_smedley in h1z1

[–]goldcakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're missing the point.

ANY tangible advantage is "pay to win". P2W does not literally mean "you pay and you instantly win the game". P2W means you are able to pay for a gameplay advantage, of any kind. Even +1% bonus damage or something.

Pay to win means money letting you buy ANY tangible advantage. Take a look at DOTA and CSGO. They have a hard line of only purely cosmetic items for sale.

Investigation about theymos by ToTheMercuryGuy in Bitcoin

And how are you going to communicate about it? Theymos removes mentions of any viable third party discussion sites from bitcointalk and reddit.

Seems like another VAC has came, untrusted bans are being given out to hacks with over 2+ years of no detection by Peshmerga in GlobalOffensive

[–]goldcakes -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

AA is still unbanned. We are the ONLY provider with real ring0. Not even rootkit scanners detect us.

Theymos should step down as a moderator of this subreddit. He already has his forum, we need more channels of communication for Bitcoin.

mytrezor.com DOWN AGAIN! UNACCEPTABLE! by joeysupra in TREZOR

If you make another ad hominem comment, I will RES ignore you.

Feel free to respond if you can, however I suspect you are unable to refute my argument.

When you sell a product A, and you direct users to use service B, then you have an obligation to keep service B up.

[–]goldcakes -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The Trezor documentation heavily pushes and only mentions myTrezor.

http://doc.satoshilabs.com/trezor-user/settingup.html

If Satoshi Labs doesn't want this obligation, they should mention other options in the documentation and mention the possibility of downtime, not have a significant amount of users unaware of other options.

[–]goldcakes -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

The trezor mini-manual heavily pushes for mytrezor. MyTrezor is not marked as beta. Satoshi Labs does have an obligation to keep myTrezor up.

Bitstamp back! by Nous322bc in Bitcoin

[–]goldcakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No that's a horrible idea. Trades are all offchain and you cannot expect performance from a trading engine that has to get 2 parties to sign Bitcoin transactions.

Bitstamp back! by Nous322bc in Bitcoin

[–]goldcakes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When you deposit coins to Bitstamp, you already relinquish all control to it. You are not a party to the multisig address.

You already gave up control of your coins when you deposit. Have you ever used an exchange?!?

Too bad ripple is a scammy, pseudo centralised, 100% premined crap coin.

Bitstamp back! by Nous322bc in Bitcoin

[–]goldcakes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Bitstamp has 2 keys, 1 online and 1 cold which they will use if Bitgo refuses to sign

Bitgo has the last key

[–]goldcakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The user doesn't get to sign.

In normal circumstances bitstamp server signs and bitgo signs.

If bitgo loses keys or refuses to sign, bitstamp gets out their 2nd key (in a safe deposit box I hope) and signs both.
