Any ETA?

I checked with Google, none exist today. Thanks for introducing me to Google btw.

I was thinking of a scenario. A lil long.

Ok, so Mark Karpeles had nothing bad happen to him for goxxing everyone, right.

So if nothing happened to him, what stops the few BTC devs from working with the top 1 or 2 mining "guilds" and forcing a change onto the miners? All you need is 50.000000001% of all miners to accept a fork is what it sounds like right?

BTC was founded to get away from having centralized control. If you ask me, this is more centralized control than anything I have ever seen. Like 10 people can get together and do whatever they want with 21 million BTC? If the devs went to someone who had control over 50.0000000001% of all mining power, and they convinced them to accept any changes, then there could be infinite BTC correct?

I am asking this seriously and I am not trolling. Can the number of actual total possible BTC get increased or decreased? What is stopping anything from having an increased block reward if it is all open source right?

See, its things like this that make me worry about what BTC will turn into. I really think the majority of mining should be controlled by the smaller people instead of being these big centralized mining "guilds/clans/organizations".

But a few years from now the only major players will hold an oligopoly over BTC and everything will be too expensive to buy your own for the smaller people. So BTC will turn into something more centralized than the current banking system in the U.S.... In the U.S. anyone can make a bank and yeah its dominated by like the top 20 banks or so? But there is a lot of moving/working parts to make it happen. A big change can easily be ignored by the majority, but in BTCs case a big change just needs someone like Cex.io to say Yes and the change gets pushed through.


That is how I understand what BTC is going to turn into. Hopefully there is something in the works to prevent this from happening. But that is why I am basically going to be a bear for now on BTC.


I appreciate any feedback on this.

Is there perhaps a number of help desk?

Well I'm already at Negative 11 (-11) but I'm pretty sure I'm not ever going to come back to positive.
I've made my point about the system...... So yes I'll remove it.
No need in getting my account banned on this "rebellion."

If someone does not agree with the current trust system that does not make he is not trustworthy.
If you do not recognize the problem, it does not mean that there is no problem.

What is Bitcoin Tower?
Bitcoin Tower is an experiment in modern capitalism and conspicuous consumption. The only rule here is the person who pays the most tops the tower. After that, all the previous levels are sorted in descending order. You can even attach a message to say whatever you want or advertise something!

It's a helpful tool, but I don't believe it's meant to be the final authoritative representation of whether or not someone is trust-worthy. Make sure to also do your own research, and don't rely on it entirely.

I much prefer the newbie jail, BUT I personally haven't seen any difference.

If you can't figure out that this means an unreasonably long confirmation time, you shouldn't be in this thread.  I shouldn't have to spell that out for you.




Sundays are common times to spend time with the family instead of at work or at the computer.  You didn't know this?
