Rumor Has It - Big News Coming Out Tomorrow at BTC Miami

38PTSWarrior · January 20, 2015, 09:28:06 PM

Thanks xerox, I thought KeyID is something used for account names and that it would also be a KeyID for sending messages later.

Please close this thread. It's idiotic.

'Major Bitcoin news coming very soon. Hope you're long. '

Imo. Major News/Very soon/be Long and just before Miami - meant imminent market moving news.

Deferring to tech coming out and saying lets see how the next three months play out, is completely different to that imo.

A little question: Bytemaster said that it would be very difficult to maintain several KeyIDs. My listener asked me why it is difficult, do you know?

not 100% sure as the DNS features are not discussed alot atm .. assuming keyIDs are "domains" in the BitShares DNS space .. there will be an auctioning style purchase to elaborate the "real" value of a "domain" .. also there was a discussion about if a "domain" can be expanded for a new lease of if it has to go through an auction again after a max-use time ...
not sure if the docs at
https://github.com/BitShares/bitshares/wiki/DNS-.p2p-Auction-Specification
are still valid ..

also read through
http://www.indolering.com/universal-p2p-resolution
.. not sure if it answers your question as I didn't manage to read all of it yet :(

38PTSWarrior · January 19, 2015, 08:51:24 AM

I was writing from the mobile and it scrambles the text after a few words. I didn*t mean Charles with it, maybe he just forwarded someones words but people who have fun by makiing others disappointed.

Xeroc, you no more than me and I believe you because you are stable and not full of s like some people out there.

Yes, he made a video out of it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoUTuM5WC2c&feature=youtu.be
and wanted his followers to know this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=924474.msg10181739#msg10181739

We'll know him when we see him. True to pattern, he'll remind us that HE started and built BitShares, before someone else compromised it. Name dropping ensues, followed by a mention of Etherum's might. And then an opinion or two on what we should do next, which generally has some really abstract, experimental, no-value-added concept attached to it.

Believe it or not, I like him too.

I have to admit I am harder on him than I like to be. But I think Donkeypong is generally on point here.

Yeah, I was watching when he did. Fuzz noticed he deleted his own account minutes after posting his last.

Don't worry. Charles is still frequenting the forums. Just not likely under his name :)

Oh ... that changes the perspective completely ... i trust that guy

From what I've seen of him, I don't think it's psychologically plausible that he'd falsely pump/bluff that there is market moving news coming. My only concern is that he's more technology than market minded so it's possible he could misinterpret the impact 'X' news will have.

So I'm inclined to think there is reasonably significant news coming.

I think it's one of three potential ruses:

- Or maybe he just enjoys watching people freak out?

bluebit · January 16, 2015, 02:42:14 AM

Apparently, this guy has been making predictions that have come true like he knew about the Bitstamp hack before it happened. Bitcoin price could skyrocket tomorrow which means Bitshares will go up as well.
