Damn. It looks like a great service. I would like to be able to pay for food with bitcoin where I'm from. There's only one online food ordering service here and they don't accept bitcoin.

Personally, I think the block size limit should be removed, and the block size should be allowed to grow organically.

Bitcoin definitely has a big future ahead. Adoption will definitely grow and the price will rise. However, most people are currently holding, expecting the price to go up, so not a lot of use as a currency at the moment.

You don't "need" to switch to Bitcoin XT. It is a voluntary action taken by users who want to show support for increasing the block size limit.

They're very excited about building their own version for control. Or perhaps, Bitpay may be looking to be acquired or bought out.

It'll be interesting to see how the Greece situation plays out. Some people are speculating that they may pull a Cyprus, where the government took a cut out of accounts with balances above a particular threshold.

Empty blocks are normal. This usually happens when a block is quickly found after a previous one, and there were no transaction in the space of time between when they were found.

Bitcoin can be used for anything, good or bad. Same with fiat. Bitcoin is not responsible for what the users choose to do with it.

One of the main problems with bitcoin adoption is still the ability to buy bitcoin in a lot of places without having a bank account, which isn't possible.

Casualties? Some of the companies in the list were clearly scams. I wouldn't call them casualties.

Good to see that the number of XT nodes is increasing. I plan to spin a few in the coming weeks. How soon till it hits 1000?

Are there any colocation hosting services for hardware miners? I've been trying to find information for this, but haven't made much progress. I'm fed up with the cloud mining scams that keep popping up.
