Mining pool issue

Been using Bitcoin.com mining pool a half year now. Today for no reason all miners went offline. Sent support message, no reply for 6 hours. Looks like miners were working fine but something with their app and api showed they were not.

Eventually moved everything to another pool as I could not wait days for a reply.

I want to support BCH and this pool but it has to work. Since I switched all my miners and they have had no issue since, seems the problem is with bitcoin. Com pool Anyone else have issues today?

BCHN’s contribution was to show that an emergency fork can be done. Now that this has been established it should be disbanded and its resources should be given to other implementations. Change my mind!

I saw the latest protocol development meeting video and it is clear that BCH development is in maintenance mode due to lack of resources. No meaningful development can be done.

The resources are spread to thinly.

BCHN has fulfilled its purpose by showing that an emergency fork can be done. It should be disbanded and its resources should be given to others.

Discuss.

Question (stupid) CashFusion

Fellow BTCers,

Downloaded ElectronCash 4.1.0, got it up and running and deposited a small test amount of bch (.7). CashFusion is working fine, connected via TOR etc. But now just "waiting" and the BCH is frozen.

I was under the (wrong) impression it was a safe & simple "mixer" where you would put BCH in the ElectronCash wallet and when you wanted to send it would get "CashFusioned" along the way. Clearly that is not the case.

Can anyone recommend a TG or Discord Group where I can ask some stupid questions on CashFusion (and maybe even CashShuffle)?

THANK YOU.

Why isn't CoinJoin implemented as part of the Bitcoin software, and mining process?

If I understand correctly CoinJoin/CoinShuffle, it is done by combining and mixing inputs and outputs from several transactions so that it is harder to identify the origin of those transactions.

Could this process be implemented as part of the Bitcoin software itself? So that when a new block is mined all inputs and outputs in all the transactions included in that block are mixed (CoinJoined), thus making Bitcoin more private?

It even sounds like this change could be implemented as a soft fork, backwards compatible with old rules?

Sorry if this is completely stupid and makes no sense at all, or if it is already in some BIP that I could not find.

Every time there is a contentious bitcoin fork only few percent of the community supports it

It's funny every time there is a contentious split in bitcoin, the protest movement has only few % of support

📷

BTC / BCH - 2-3% of community went for the real bitcoin vs the BTC ticker

BCH / BSV - 2-3% of big blockers community went for the crazy BSV coin

BCHABC / BCHBCHN - 3.3% go with the protest movement of BCHN

The probability of BIP39 seed phrase is the same?

Since anyone can download Ian Coleman tool offline and generate a random seed phrase by clicking “generate” button. I wonder what’s the probability that the same seed phrase is generated to two or three people who did it offline and hence one of them can access the fund of the other, because if I understand, there’s no method to say this seed phrase was generated previously and has been used already or reserved for someone.

Appreciate clarifying this to me.

Bitcoin is not a currency, Prof Steve Hanke warns

Bitcoin is not a currency, Prof Steve Hanke warns

Reacting to the recent disappointing performance by Bitcoin in the crypto market, Prof Steve Hanke noted on Twitter that Bitcoin should not be confused as a means of legal tender because it is very speculative in nature.

https://preview.redd.it/oq1jdrjnyz651.png?width=598&format=png&auto=webp&s=fb0b16134832ad34be1022f2b990dddf1ee2040d

This is not the first time an influential figure is criticizing Bitcoin, as far back as 2019, Economist Nouriel Roubini said that he would gladly take the dollar over Bitcoin because he does not believe that it is a real store of value. Giving his take on Bitcoin, the Economist said,

"Maybe Bitcoin is a partial store of value but it’s not a unit of account, it’s not a means of payment, it’s not scalable [...] despite its rally earlier this year, it’s lost 60% in value since its peak, so I don’t see it going anywhere frankly."

Buttressing the point of Roubini, Billionaire, Warren buffet claims that Bitcoin is an illusion because it holds no real store of value.

“If you do something phony by going out and selling yo-yos or something, there’s no money in it — but when you get into Wall Street, there’s huge money," the billionaire said.

Bitcoin Stuck in Negative Zone After Failing to Make Resistance Break

Talking about the recent disappointing performance of the coin, investor and analyst at Panda, Edward Moya said;

“Bitcoin continues to consolidate in what many crypto fans are calling the typical accumulation phase that occurs after a halving event. The coin has struggled “despite an overall resilient appetite for risky assets."

Why I Bought

After following bitcoin for a number of years, I decided to park a substantial amount of money in bitcoin as a hedge against the US dollar. I expect that others will do the same. I paid ~100k for my bitcoin. Full disclosure, I also recently bought $60 in gold. I am keeping most of money assets in cash because I expect / hope for a market crash and it’d be quicker to get into good positions with USD money as compared to BTC or gold. But I am just so disgusted with how the government is printing money endlessly and slowly destroying what I worked so hard to earn. I expect there will be increasingly people like me.
