    Van Helsing

    I enjoyed season 2, makes more sense when you find out the actress that played Vanessa was 6 months pregnant when they started filming. I'll be interested in seeing where they go from here. And yeah Christopher Heyerdahl did kick ass, he kicks ass in all the creepy type roles that he is in.

    Block size is an issue that needs to be addressed. I just had two transactions go through yesterday that I created on the 3rd. Granted they were low fee but 16 days is a long time to go through.

    I would imagine a lot of the price drop in bitcoin is tied to the futures contracts and people shorting those.

    Probably a lot of panic selling from people that jumped in the last few months or big time traders shorting the futures.

    We had a set back after Christmas.

At the Grandma's they sleep in the same bed with him. He ended up getting a stomach bug...

    My son went through that. I'd have to sit in his room until he fell asleep but then he would wake up in the middle of the night and calling out for me because he expected me to stay in there the whole night. We finally solved it by telling him I had to go do work and I'd be back to check on...

    China leaving bitcoin mining would probably be a good thing, difficulty would go down and I know a lot of Chinese pools flood the mempool with spam transactions and mine blocks with out putting in transactions.

    Payment on kano's pool won't be sent out from the last block until the pool hits another block. Kano puts all the payouts in the pools mempool to keep down fees. Sometimes he'll send out payments with a $1.00 fee to send out. If you are talking about the receive address in coinbase. You'll get...

    Just say an article that dogecoin was up to $.01 and now has a market cap of $1 billion. Dogecoin hasn't had a software update for two years. Sounds like a pump and dump scheme happening there.

    With spectrum I usually just call them up after my bill goes up and say cancel my service which gets me retention and they will lower my bill back down after and little back and forth.

    One thing to be careful of if you have your own wallet is having a lot of small amounts of Bitcoin, if you go to send a larger amount it's going to cost you more in fee. It's not as simple as .1+.5+.3.+.1=1. More inputs will increase the kb size of the transaction, which increases your cost to send.

    There are quite a few analyst that claim Bitcoin will be $40000 by the end of 2018. I've seen a few claim $100k in 2020. Who knows really. As with any investment, you have to know your risk. Lots of people will just tell you to hold and keep holding or hodl as they call it.

    Most nodes have a 72 hour timer on transactions where they will forget about a transaction if it hasn't been confirmed, provided no one is relaying the transaction. I've read where people have sent low or zero fee transactions that are so low it will never confirm and they can run a few start...

    I guess the theory is that people will mine for the transaction fees and that what will keep them mining. It only takes one person mining to confirm a block.

    Transaction fees are suppose to replace mining rewards. That's why the block reward halves. Something really needs to be done about the block size. There are something like 150k unconfirmed transactions right now and fees are pretty high.

    when you used to be able to cpu mine bitcoins, hacks like this would work pretty well. Most pools now ban cpu and gpu mining, so the hacks are worthless now.
