    Send $10,000 for 1 Cent: Bitcoin Transaction Fees Hit 'Unfairly Cheap' Levels

    Posted: 25 Mar 2018 09:51 PM PDT

    I sent 0.3 BTC with a fee of 0.00005 BTC, got confirmed within 4 minutes. (Both Segwit Wallets).

    Posted: 25 Mar 2018 08:15 PM PDT

    I think $0.4 fee for a $2580 transaction is pretty cheap. Can't wait for Lightning Network to go mainstream. Or if it is mainstream, can someone link me to the proper sources. Thanks!

    Peter Theil on why the growth of cyptocurrencies is not the same as the dotcom bubble

    Posted: 25 Mar 2018 07:02 PM PDT

    Pretty interesting. He says that since institutions are still not involved its growth so far is very different than when we had the huge growth in the dotcom bubble. Seems to me he is saying its much more organic ie pushed by the people than by people trying to make money from you. What do you guys think?

    BTC.COM has 31% of Hashrate on the network right now

    Posted: 25 Mar 2018 10:30 PM PDT

    As I am writing this BTC.com has 31% of Hashrate https://coin.dance/blocks/today (screenshot: https://imgur.com/mNHeTnv)

    Why is this centralisation not concerning anyone? I saw so many people propose PoW change and get attacked by community leaders.

    Is anyone at least considering the option? I'd love to hear what alternatives we have in case if we must do it and what effect it could have on security.

    I agree that Bitcoin is now really secure, but such centralisation concerns me.

    EDIT: Combined with viaBTC and Antpool (allegedly ran by the same individuals) they currently have 50,7%

    Posted: 25 Mar 2018 08:32 PM PDT

    Bitcoin is digital gold and the LightningNetwork uses cryptographically secured and trustless “IOU’s” as a medium of exchange backed by bitcoin, for efficiency. Like when paper money was backed by gold in 1844. But this time no one can suddenly take the gold away.

    Posted: 25 Mar 2018 05:21 AM PDT

    Edit:

    Yikes, this blew up a little and I'm being hit from all angles about why I'm wrong.

    I probably shouldn't have used the term "IOU" cause it insinuates debt, as well as there being counter party risk. My point is that it's like having the most trusted and secure IOU in the world, because it's not backed by promise of the other person, it's backed by cryptography, so you can claim your money at any time, or you can continue to pass it on to the next person without any risk. So in that sense, it is similar to an IOU, but it's trustless.

    I really liked this analogy and I was hoping this would just be an easy way for people to understand but I was wrong.

    Edit 2: I think a better word would have been "promise". LN is like exchanging trustless and secure promises of funds, which carry no risk, unlike when paper money was a promise to the equivalent value in gold and the promise was broken. I hope that clears up my thinking a little.

    8 months after enforcing segwit by UASF, every third trx is segwit now. Well done!

    Bitcoin transaction fees are at the lowest levels since May 2017.

    Posted: 25 Mar 2018 11:41 PM PDT

    It goes without saying SegWit scaling is beginning to stabilise prices and reduce confirmation times. All major exchanges for the most part have adopted SegWit, which has helped dramatically.

    Coinbase traffic is down 49% in February. Kraken is reportedly down 56%.

    Opinion: Despite Recent Woes, Bitcoin Could Hit $30,000 This Year

    Lightning network usability - Being always online ?

    Posted: 26 Mar 2018 01:13 AM PDT

    In lightning network, if you are not online to defend your funds, you can lose your money. Reference:

    How are common users supposed to transact funds without trusting a third party ? Even something like SPV wallets in bitcoin would be good (without sharing private keys) !

    I don't want to send money/private keys to lightning node owned by an exchange and spawn a centralized system. Are there ways to have a mobile/desktop wallet than isn't always online ?
