    PSA from a developer: Don't brigade github

    Posted: 30 Dec 2017 08:54 PM PST

    Leaving politics aside:

    This has happened a few times and it's a serious issue. The issue / PR list on github is where the rubber meets the road for developers and it can be incredibly difficult to stay on topic, something that is crucial for github communcation.

    I'm not saying to completely refrain from commenting on repositories that you don't contribute to, I'm saying to treat comments on repositories as highly privileged. Even within teams we treat the discussion on github with great caution--we treat others' repos with even more.

    Reddit is a big place.. if a repo with a few developers suddenly gets dozens or hundreds of non-contributors participating it goes to shit quickly.

    Please and thank you.

    in the light of the recent XRP rally, let me share with you why I focus on investing rather than speculating and why I see Bitcoin Cash as the best contender right now

    Posted: 30 Dec 2017 04:30 PM PST

    Warren Buffet once said :

    Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.

    If you don't care about the characteristics of a coin like its usefulness, community support, decentralization etc, but you buy it because the price has been rising, you are not investing but speculating. Investing is not about following where the money goes each week.

    I am not saying that speculation is bad or should be banned, just that it's similar to going to a casino, it's a very fun game where you hope that you are not too late in the pump&dump so you can sell with a profit before others. I see it as a zero-sum game (there are winners and losers and their results sums to zero).

    Investors understand that most useful coins require people to hold onto it more often. For example btc being the base currency of almost all exchanges require people to hold some btc to be able to buy other alts and to sell alts into btc, which means that btc has to be bought and hold more often. The same can be said for ltc currently as people use it instead of btc to transfer fast and cheap between exchanges.

    This is the fundamental value, this usefulness is the only thing that provides a real support price that makes it a "store of value". On the long term money follows these fundamentals, but on the short term it's all pump&dumps everywhere.

    • BCH now having lowers fees and being listed on exchanges will probably replace the ltc use-case.

    • As BCH is added to exchanges as their base currency like CoinEx, it is going to replace the btc use-case.

    • As BCH adds colored coins it can take some market-share of that use case from ethereum, but ethereum still has a big head start and I don't see it being replaced that easily for now. More info here : https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/7n1po5/okay_folks_we_have_now_4_different_colored_coins/

    • As BCH gets more merchant adoption, like cryptonize.it or keys4coins.com already allowing you to buy anything you want on amazon, starbucks, steam, itunes, etc with BCH, it is starting to replace the fiat use-case as a means of exchange. BitPay adding BCH support soon will also help a lot with this. Replacing fiat is the biggest goal because the market-cap of all fiat currencies is mind blowing, check the biggest circle on this infographic: https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/553/1*ghZH1_xIUDJvVeCeJzqBxw.png

    The best thing is that when you invest intelligently based on fundamentals, you are doing both yourself a favor for assuring your financial future, and the whole world a favor for helping useful projects grow and get the recognition they deserve. It's a win-win situation for yourself and the world, which is I believe the moral goal of any honest man, and as you are getting richer in the process, that's also a reward that money can't buy.

    "La Maison Du Bitcoin" has invited Craig Wright to speak in Paris in 2018

    Posted: 30 Dec 2017 10:58 PM PST

    Hey!

    We need help to reach out to Dr. Craig Wright so that he accepts to speak at the place called "La Maison Du Bitcoin" in Paris. This is also the location of Ledger's offices.

    https://twitter.com/lamaisondubtc/status/947210119317737472

    That would be a really great event for Bitcoin Cash in France! Does anybody knows him?

    Ripple user comes to defend Ripple, gets hundreds of upvotes, but can't answer the most fundamental question: what prevents inflation?

    Posted: 30 Dec 2017 05:18 AM PST

    Edit: the point of this post has nothing whatsoever to do with Ripple's inflation or lack thereof. The point of this post is to shine a really bright light on an obvious bankster astroturfing campaign that just switched gears from "Lightning Network is the Second Coming" to "OMG Ripple is the FUTURE." The discussion below illustrates very clearly a case study in one such pro-bankster-agenda shilling:

    Here you can see /u/AtlaStar defending Ripple with a lot of good words and argumentation strategy - highly upvoted - +533 at this time, which would make this Ripple-apology one of the most upvoted comments ever on this sub.

    He started his reply

    For being so educated on XRP, frankly you don't seem to either not be able to answer your own points

    OK, he's talking like an expert, so fair game.

    So I asked him the most basic question: without Nakamoto consensus holding together Ripple's ruleset, what prevents the trusted authority from releasing more coins?

    His answer?

    not gonna pretend to know for sure but that is a completely valid concern

    Wait what?

    Who states definitively "100 billion coins is the maximum that will ever exist" then when you say, "how can you be sure" the answer is, "well actually, I don't"

    What is happening here?

    Edit: please take a moment to browse the downvoted comments and flag these people in RES as astroturfing apologists

    The ‘Tippening’ Day 9: I tip redditors in other subs to promote Cryptocurrency adoption, here are some of my favourite tips of the day.

    Posted: 30 Dec 2017 11:49 AM PST

    Prologue: Reddit has millions of users per day which in my opinion has great untapped potential for Cryptocurrency. Tip bots such as u/tippr can be used to not only reward users for creating great content, but to also expose peer-to-peer currency to the masses. The best way to push adoption is to show it in action.

    Daily message: Seen some huge tips recently, keep it up guys!

    Here's a few of the best reactions from today:

    • Tip 1 - "really going hard on the spreading the crypto love" ~150 upvotes
    • Tip 2 - "The future is a strange place" ~150 upvotes
    • Tip 3 - "Thank you for the tip!"
    • Tip 4 - Saw some great artwork.
    • Tip 5 - /BTC user u/asicshack tips $500! Wonderful to see!

    Note: A small number subs do not allow tippr to reply to tips. The user will still receive the tip and a notification that they have be credited with Bitcoin cash. If you want to help the cause, I've compiled a list of subreddits in which tippr will respond.

    You can learn more about Bitcoin cash tip bot here.

    Real local bitcoin cash?

    Posted: 30 Dec 2017 06:31 PM PST

    I'm considering making a feature complete bitcoin cash for local transactions, that would be feature-parity with localbitcoin at minimum, would take 2-3 weeks to have a stable beta up, how much support from the community would I get if I do it? seems pretty consistent that many think that because it doesn't really exist any great alternatives bch adoption is being held back.

    will take upvotes to this post as a deciding factor. so lmk.
