I don't know my bank account number by heart, so it's the same thing. But if I really wanted to receive money, I would just open my phone wallet and generate a new address.

Also, as others have already said, using the same address all the time is not advised.

How much would have been lost due to transaction fees?

The way you state it, it's a problem entirely unrelated to the one OP is trying to solve, so your comments on this are kind of irrelevant.

If the soul is not proven to exist using the scientific method, then I have no reasons to believe it exists. (And no, religion doctrines don't follow the scientific method)

Bitcoin is used to buy many things. If the articles don't mention any relationship between Bitcoin and genetics, or Bitcoin and 3D printers, then it's definitely off-topic.

EDIT: Sorry, I didn't see we're actually in the Off-Topic section.

The problem I see is that you can't guarantee that people will honor this agreement. You may start at first: 1 Euro = 1 Coin, but as time passes, people will start selling them cheaper of more expensive, because that's how the free market works.

On the other hand, if you actually try to enforce the value, then you no longer hold the original idea of Bitcoin, and most people won't continue using it.

Mi neniam sciis pri ĝi. Sed mi konsentas kun dree12. Bitcoin sufiĉas nun.

This is false. As long as you keep your mulitibit.wallet file, you won't lose any money.

Where did you read such a claim?

I didn't know this. Sorry.

You can use the previous version (0.5.17) to import the keys. Just be extremely careful about having backups before attempting to import them.


As far as I know, Jim decided to remove the import feature because it caused more troubles, and that people who really knew what they're doing should use Armory or other advanced software.

I don't see how. If I wanted to get some of such currency, I would first have to buy gold with fiat and then the coins with gold.

It's easier to identify them in a sigle thread. At least for me, seeing colored patterns is faster than reading the usernames.

Now I'm more confused. maok's post seem to take that BIP seriously...

Clearly I'm missing something, because it was my understanding that Bitcoin's supply was finite and deflationary by design.

Disqus include downvotes, but as far as I understand, the total sum of downvotes is not shown to users. It's just used for sorting comments by relevance and such (which I don't think would be a great idea in a forum).

This sounds like an interesting idea. I personally would like the price to remain stable at least for a year (be it high or low). However, I also wouldn't commit to a price for the whole 21M bitcoins.

What should be done is a few options for BTC amount (e.g. 1, 100, and 1000). I feel that commiting to a bigger value is unrealistic.

Your poll options are very confusing and misleading. They seem to imply that either your proposal will work and “save” Bitcoin, or that it will fail and an altcoin will take its place.

For it to be a fair poll, you should just include the options “I agree” / “I disagree”.

OK, I just did

Trying it on Windows Phone. It just shows a blue screen with a hexagon. I can't tell if it's loading or not :/

Everything in life has a risk. Even if someone secures their bitcoins in the most effective way, they can't rule out that they might have an accident tomorrow, leaving the coins unspendable if only they know about how to retrieve them (passwords, cold storage location, etc).

The problem with online wallets is when they actually know your private keys. They could one day just decide to spend them without your consent. As far as I know, Blockchain.info encrypts the keys so that they are only known in the browser at the time the user logs in, and never by Blockchain.info themselves.
