If that were to happen, the code would change to expand the limit, and everybody would upgrade. But only if the whole network agreed...
Is that even possible without everybody starting over from scratch?

Yeah, that is already happening. Computer crashes and such. Other forget their coins.
|

I would take the coins, due to most of the reasons above. Trying to mine for bitcoins was a real pain (for me at least), and it barely returned. With exponential difficulty and reduced reward (as far as I know), the coins would probably be more useful in the short-term.
Don't forget the energy cost.

Making a custom rig with 10 graphics cards doesn't make it an ASIC rig. ASIC stands for "application-specific integrated circuit" and is in this case only made for hashing Bitcoins. You can by design not use such a machine for anything else. AFAIK no such machine has been shipped.

|
|
AFAIK there aren't any proof that any one has been shipped yet. Butterfly Labs claim they are working on some.

Never speculate with more than you are able and willing to lose. Bitcoin is a very high risk market.

Min lillebror sa igår att han läst om Bitcoins i Metro.

Precis som det sagts innan så tror jag att 0 confirmations kan räcka för mindre summor, precis som att man inte kontrollerar mindre sedlar för förfalskning. Jag tror man man snickra ihop en smidig lösning med NFC, där man eventuellt skulle kunna använda QR-kod som fallback.
Är det ett problem att invänta confirmations? Jag menar, det borde väl vara en baggis att utföra en transaktion om båda parterna har en uppkopplad smartphone.

Hur lagligt är detta egentligen? Detta måste ju konkurrera med Svenska Kronor. Fast ärligt talat känns det som en plojgrej, så jag kan tänka mig att ingen orkar bry sig.

Det vore stort om Komplett kunde ta betalt i BTC! Tråkigt bara att det är så små marginaler, som tidigare nämnt. Jag tror det tar en lång stund (ett par år till) innan det finns ett riktigt värde i att implementera BTC för någon som Komplett.
Mm, en sådan stor spelare som Komplett skulle nog inte tjäna på att bemöda sig med Bitcoin. Jag tvivlar också på att de besitter kompetens för att implementera och hantera en sådan lösning.

Replacement for bitcoins?

When can I set a custom avatar?

Is there anyway to use bitcoins this on amazon?
No, Amazon doesn't accept bitcoins.
|

yea why not use the 6870 for mining i already have a nice gaming machine so i will leave this machine to do bitcoin mining
The people who are earning money on mining have pretty good and sophisticated rigs. I'm pretty sure you will lose more on energy costs than you will earn with such a simple machine.

|
I might be buying a 6870 today
For bitcoin mining? Only?
|
|
|
Use something local. Since I'm from Sweden I'm using Kapiton.se which works well with our banks.
|
|
|
I doubt you will earn enough to justify the energy cost. :/ A single 6670 isn't a fantastic card.

why u guys use online wallets? for what purpose?
Yeah, seems really risky. Especially considering all successful hacks.
