    Think Roger was exaggerating when he said Samson and Blockstream's policies of restricting economic freedom across the globe contributes to more deaths? Think again.

    Posted: 04 Apr 2018 01:13 PM PDT

    "It is the principles of economic freedom—free markets, rule of law, protection of private property, and open trade—that boost prosperity and reduce costs so that societies can protect their environments, improve health, and broaden access to education."

    Infant Mortality Rates are Higher in Countries with Less Economic Freedom

    Life Expectancy is Longer in Countries with Higher Economic Freedom

    Economically Freer Nations have Better Access to Cleaner Water and Sanitation

    HIV is More Prevalent in Countries with Less Economic Freedom

    Nations with More Economic Freedom Take Better Care of the Environment

    Roger Ver Destroyed Samson Blockstream - K.O. Version... ���� ✌️

    Posted: 04 Apr 2018 11:45 AM PDT

    I'm Mark Karpelès, ex-CEO of bankrupt MtGox. Ask me anything.

    Posted: 04 Apr 2018 02:40 AM PDT

    Dear community,

    Many of you know or remember me, especially recently since the MtGox bankruptcy has been allegedly linked with Bitcoin price drops in December 2017 to February 2018. Since taking over the most active Bitcoin exchange in 2011, I ran MtGox until filing for civil rehabilitation on February 28th 2014 (which became bankruptcy less than 2 months later) because a large amount of Bitcoins went missing. Since then, four years have passed, and MtGox is still in bankruptcy today. I've been arrested, released under bail after a little less than one year, and am now trying to assist MtGox getting into civil rehabilitation.

    I did my best trying to grow the ecosystem by running the biggest exchange at the time. It had big problems but still managed to hang in there. For a while. A quite long while, even, while the rest of the ecosystem caught up. At the end of the day, the methods I chose to try to get MtGox out of its trouble ended up being insufficient, insufficiently executed, or plain wrong.

    I know I didn't handle the last, stressful days of the outdrawn and painful Gox collapse very well. I can only be humble about that in hindsight. Once again, I'm sorry.

    Japanese bankruptcy law has a particularly nasty outcome here, and I want to address this up front. As creditors claims were registered, those claims were registered in the valuation of Japanese Yen on the bankruptcy date. That's the only way Japanese bankruptcy law can work (most bankruptcy laws around the world operate this way for that matter). This means that the claims can be paid back in full, and there will still be over 160,000 bitcoin and bitcoin cash in assets in the Gox estate. The way bankruptcy law works is that if there are any assets remaining after the creditors have been paid in full, then those assets are distributed to shareholders as part of the liquidation.

    That's the only way any bankruptcy law can reasonably work. And yet, in this case, it produces an egregiously distasteful outcome in that the shareholders of MtGox would walk away with the value of over 160,000 bitcoin as a result of what happened.

    I don't want this. I don't want this billion dollars. From day one I never expected to receive anything from this bankruptcy. The fact that today this is a possibility is an aberration and I believe it is my responsibility to make sure it doesn't happen. One of the ways to do this would be civil rehabilitation, and as it seems most creditors agree with this, I am doing my best to help make it happen. I do not want to become instantly rich. I do not ask for forgiveness. I just want to see this end as soon as possible with everyone receiving their share of what they had on MtGox so everyone, myself included, can get some closure.

    I'm an engineer at heart. I want to build things. I like seeing what I build being useful, and people being happy using what I build. My drive, from day one, has been to push the limits of what is technically possible, and this is the main reason I liked and have been involved with Bitcoin in the first place. When I took over MtGox, I never imagined things would end this way and I am forever sorry for everything that's taken place and all the effect it had on everyone involved.

    Hopefully, I can make what I've learned in this experience useful to the community as a whole, so there can at least be something positive in the end.

    Ask me anything you like.

    EDIT: With this coming to r/all there have been an overwhelming number of messages, questions etc. I will continue responding for a little while but probably won't be able to respond to new questions (it is starting to be late here and I've been spending the last few hours typing). Thank you very much to everyone.

    Samson Mow's big business venture on the Lightning Network. (Until the bugs are worked out he'll accept tabs.)

    Posted: 04 Apr 2018 01:10 PM PDT

    This passionate response by Roger Ver really hits it home for me. BlockStream Core has helped delay and prevent the Economic Liberation of this entire planet. People are literally suffering and DYING right now, while Samson Mow can be seen laughing, he thinks people dying is a joke.

    Stop debating about people, focus on adoption and tech

    Posted: 04 Apr 2018 11:31 AM PDT

    Hi I've seen tons of posts about CSW, Mow, Ver and all the other crypto leaders.

    It's like if Bitcoin is about 3 people debating in a room. Adoption is not going to happen if we are bickering about who is wrong or right.

    We are a tiny community compared to what needs to be achieved. Stop fighting ! Focus on getting new users on board!

    Once I extract the download file to a folder on my desktop using the archive manager, what do I do? What commands do I use? Thanks

    Edit: Solved my own problem:

    Right click the extracted folder, Click "Open in Terminal", then type: ./Bitcoin.com

    BIP44 BCH wallets in react, angular, node and nextjs w/ `bitbox scaffold`

    Posted: 04 Apr 2018 03:31 PM PDT

    BITBOX scaffolds let developers bootstrap a BCH app in popular frameworks in under a minute. Currently react, angular, nextjs and nodejs are supported.

    Today we're updating the scaffolds to include basic BIP44 BCH wallets. Each time you refresh the page a new 256 bit mnemonic will be generated from a random language.

    From that mnemonic we create a root seed, master hdnode, derive the first BIP44 account and first 10 external receive cash addresses.

    There's also the template for a working 1-to-1 transaction.

    It's now easier than ever to bootstrap a $BCH app in popular frameworks in under a minute.

    bitbox scaffold --framework react

    Just watched the Roger vs. Samson debate. Does Samson even have a job after this? That was the most savage annihilation I've ever seen in a Cryptocurrency debate.

    Posted: 04 Apr 2018 05:35 AM PDT

    Completely owned across the board and resorted to acting like a child. The fact that this guy is a C level executive at Blockstream should tell you a lot about Blockstream.
