I'm having trouble connecting to mining.bitcoin.cz:80, chrome tells me ""
This has been the case for about 10 hours now, my ip is/was: 85.176.112.67
Weirdly enough, I can connect through tor (using exit 46.19.138.242)
Any explanation?

congrats on your miner: insane speed!
One question: I'm using phoenix to mine solo on one GPU, on slush's pool on the other. The slush one report "working on block #" when switching to a new block. The miner connected to my local bitcoin (solo) doesn't do that. Why not?
This message is only displayed when the RPC server sends X-Blocknum in the header. A local bitcoin or bitcoind instance doesn't provide it. Aaawright. Thanks for clearing that up for me. |

I'm having trouble connecting with more then 1 worker. I have four instances using the same worker on one computer - they are all working fine. A worker on a different computer won't connect. If I turn off the other worker it will.
This just started last night.
Last I checked you had to create a worker account for each worker. Maybe slush recently made a change to not allow connections to worker account if one is already "connected"? |

It hit already 2 $ in bitcoinmarket.com in past 24 hrs.
New poll is needed.
I don't think this counts  The trade was for 20btc on a low volume market. If I traded 10btc to a friend for $3/btc would that count as the price hitting $3? I think it would, if you can convince us that this trade really happened and that you and your friend didn't fake it. I don't think it would: I gave a friend 1 BTC for nothing, so bitcoins are officially worthless? |

As I've stated elsewhere on this forum, I'm about to sell most of my 7 million coins so you all better get out now before bitcoin loses most of its value. You have been warned.
If it was intentional (which I assume), I congratulate you for making a very good joke. |

Let me know what you think.
First: great article! thanks. There are two common inaccuracies, though: - "all transactions are completely free"
- "transactions are instantaneous"
I would love if someone came up with something sounding just as positive while being true. "transactions _can_ be free, but if the amount is small and the transaction's inputs are not old, you might have to pay a small fee to get it through fast enough" just doesn't cut it marketing-wise  If someone could come up with a nice way to put it without being inaccurate I would be happy. Hi there- I'm not sure I said either of those things in the article. Do you think you may be looking at another article? I can't find those phrases using Google, though. -JB argh, you're totally right and I am sorry. I was looking at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSLByqTusaQ before (or after?) I read your article and must've gotten confused. |

After reading this thread, I like this idea best:
1 milliBitcoin (mBTC, "milli") = 0.001 BTC
1 microBitcoin (uBTC, "mike") = 0.000001 BTC
1 satoshi = 0.01 uBTC = 0.00000001 BTC
suggestion for transition
now we use #.## BTC
next we use #.### BTC
then we use #.## mBTC
then we use #.### mBTC
then we use #.## uBTC
then we're old and soon dead

How many of you REAL MEN would put 95% of your entire life, solemnly and nearly absolutely swear on Bitcoin and its success? How many of you?
As for me, I do.
Who else?
no REAL MEN would , what you are offering is boys playground. If it is not immediately obvious why, just wait a few decades... What do you mean? |

there are quite some easily imaginable ways in which it could fail.
such as? - critical mass might not be reached (bitcoin only used by criminals and webdesigners)
- attacks (like smear campaign, making bitcoin illegal, >51% attack with computing power...) from governments/banks/amazon/...

I tried using tesseract OCR to convert the images into text, but it failed miserably.
wouldn't "bitcoind listtransactions" help? Ah, yes! Dishwara, can you run bitcoind instead and capture the transactions to a text file? ./bitcoind listtransactions > transactions.txt You don't have to run bitcoind. The gui version also offers the rpc interface if you put rpcuser=xxx, rpcpassword=yyy and maybe rpcport=8332 and rpcallowip=x.y.z.* into your bitcoin.conf (on linux ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf) |

And as Grondilu sad, if bitcoin value rises, then bitrich ones probably sell a lot of them and buy some willas and airplains or spaceships in that time true, and why did I read "bitrich" as "bitches"?  also: can you please edit your post, you screwed up my quote so it looks like you said it yourself. |

Bitcoin is generaly cool idea, but isn't it unfair?
I calculated that if almost everybody in the world would want to use a bitcoin as a main currency, then one bitcoin would cost about 1 million dollars!
As I understand it isn't technical problem, but people dont like unfair systems and this is why bitcoin can't spread freely I think. It is unfair because some of you already have a lot of bitcoins and the onese who are late will haveto pay too much for what the "rich" onese got for almost free.
I bought 10 bitcoins today and payed about 10 dollars. But first ones who used a bitcoin client did get same amaound almoust for free. If I think about that - I don't want to buy more bitcoins.
What do you think about that?
I actually thought about that quite a lot. Assuming bitcoin takes off and 1 USD of today equivalates to 0.000001 BTC, then, as you say, some people are extremely rich (about 1000 people?). My thought is: "So what, what will they do?". Who are these people? Should we envy them? I tend to think they are "good" people. So maybe these people will act as a kind of "Free Private Reserve", selflessly using some of their Bitcoins to do (maybe necessary) regulation of the money "supply" that is currently done by the central banks. Maybe these people are the Central Banks of the future (the FED is a private bank, too)... after all, they don't have to worry about their personal well-being and some of them own such humongous amounts of money that they can easily inject some into the world if needed. What do you think about that? |

dude, what? you bought 10,000 uBTC for $10??? I wish I would've bought that early. look at date of quote from molecular (quote from the future) |

A native client, among other things, is essential for mainstream acceptance. I'm looking forward to seeing it in the market.
+1 "Bitcoin Wallet (for testnet)" by Andreas Schildbach look promising, no? |

I'd have to be quite drunk. But seriously, bitcoin is brilliant and the world needs it, yet there are quite some easily imaginable ways in which it could fail. |

*carries his bitcoins in a man bag.

I like it, too. It's well done. It tells 3 very common inaccuracies, though: - "all transactions are completely free"
- "transactions are instantaneous"
- "there's much higher security than with traditional online banking"
True, apart from your point #3 (I really think bitcoin is much more secure than traditional online banking). Still, it is a good exposé. D'accord with point #3 being true. But the argument ("256 bits must be more secure than 128") that is often used is fail. |
