The price will go up since that's a more expensive way of getting gold!

You mean the other way around, right?
If everyone has it I would not pay the same amount of time and resources, even though it costs a great deal of energy to create it. The price of production would eventually go down, as it gets cheaper to make it, given enough time and specialized people with the right tools.

How do a user decide what fork to be on?


By using the wallet software that suits your preference.

So, can we go make some gold bullion or stick with the tungsten filling?

1385  Bitcoin / Press / Re: 2012-11-12 American Banker: The Plot Thickens in the Bizarre Bitcoin Blackmail C on: November 13, 2012, 12:16:57 PM
I think it highlights the susceptibility to vindictively planted circumstantial evidence by unscrupulous individuals.

Like ... did the Secret Service just remove 3.5% of the supply of all bitcoins held in existence?

Sure, it being known that those coins get locked up for a few years would definitely increase the value of the remaining bitcoins.

And then ,... can the Secret Service actually protect those coins?

Or, is KnightMB really a good chess player and he's really just playing the USG?   OK, so assuming the Secret Service has seized the fat wallet, then now consider the scenario where KnightMB spends the funds (using another copy of the wallet but sent to an address under his control).

So now the USG is on the hook for losing a citizen's private property (to the tune of several million dollars).   So KnightMB ends up with his original 3.5% of the supply of all bitcoins held in existance plus a few million dollars of fiat from the lawsuit for the missing property (I mean, how could he lose such a suit ... they left him penniless after the raid and now they lost his stash of bitcoins too?)

Wouldn't that be quite a story if that's what happens?

[Hopefully, if the USG has a wallet of his with any funds in it that they are transferring those funds to an address under their control so as to keep the funds secure.]

This story would make a good movie.

+1 but what if someones brain cells are worth a few millions... ?

By using Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR), Nickel transmutes into copper producing large amounts of heat. Although the physics behind this phenomena is not yet understood completely there is a lot of information on the web.

Here is some:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxeKeuh_2Bw
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_Catalyzer
http://www.defkalion-energy.com/

What if LENR is used for creating precious metals like gold, silver or platinum with low cost?

http://www.drjoechampion.com/Procedure.htm

Then bitcoin would be the only medium of exchange that has a limited supply.



What do you think?


Thanks for sharing, and yes, bitcoin would probably be the only resource scarce enough for trading in the future.

Bah.  I smell bullshit.

Send me a private message with your theory, or write your theory and SHA-256 hash it, then when your theory is fulfilled you'll post the text and instructions to hash it and verify the authenticity.

+1 http://brainwallet.org, paste the text in the passphrase field and it will generate a bitcoin address, then post it here so someone can time-stamp it with some coins.
1390  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Special paper wallets for use with CueCat (linear barcodes) on: November 12, 2012, 02:40:38 AM
You can scan a QR code with a webcam.  It's not $10, but it's pretty close.  And PS/2 CueCats are pretty useless these days.

How does the average user go about using their webcam as keyboard input (as opposed to being limited to applications with this functionality explicitly included)?

With an android phone and this custom keyboard app, I use it all the time for my paper wallets and all kinds off other stuff.

Edit: Or use the phone as a bluetooth barcode reader

scanning a QR code and paying in seconds still amazes me.

Year, that the really awesome thing about bitcoin. When I purchased something for the first time. I was like "What, wait. I have already paid yet!"

The first purchase that goes as fast and easy as this it what gets you really hooked at Bitcoin, because in this moment you realise how superior it is.

Yup.

Yep, a mirror of the site with every merchant would come in handy to prevent this kind of annoyances.

I was gonna buy a year of Mullvad, but didn't know I had to dl the client first. Now I cannot do that, because I will be at Room77, selling coins, eating burgers and promoting my business(es).

Nice, btw you can connect through PPTP with their servers if you don't want to use the client. https://mullvad.net/en/pptp_conf.php
