Sounds like just another alt-coin preaching troll to me.
Good spotted. I do preach alt-coin (XRP, specifically). And I make no apologies for that. I tell friends and colleagues (when it comes up in conversation) to be very careful of BTC and to keep a watchful eye on XRP.
The only crypto-currencies I use are XRP and BTC. I'm about 50%/50% in each.
I have an interest in BTC, but remain skeptical about its future and am prepared to leave permanently (but not just yet).
If you wish to continue branding people who want answers to BTC's fundamental flaws as "trolls" (which is neither helpful nor conducive to civilised chat), then I wish you the very best of luck with your business.
Eamorr, will you please close this thread and return to xrptalk.org - and stop wasting everyone time here, you are obviously only here to troll and provoke. |

It would be a shame to split up the 1986 set.
But if you decide to sell some of the coins from the incomplete set's, then will I consider to make offer.

Why are you too proud to admit that the Bitcoin micropayment system is inferior to cash (in terms of time to confirmation of the transaction)?
No absolutely not, I use cash from time to time, and it can be be faster than a bitcoin transaction. I respect that you want this topic to be on a technical level, but since you ask so directly then will I have to state that I do not find cash superior, it has a fundamental flaw, it is a fiat based system, which I am strongly against. I would have no problem making micro payment with somethings else, as long as it has an intrinsic value. |

It's obvious the answer is "No"
Are you trolling? The transaction time is almost instant, as gmaxwell pointed out. |

If the coffee shop worker knows the guy in the coffee shop, everything is fine.
You cannot run a railway station coffee stand when you don't know 95% of your customers.
Consumer to retailer transaction via credit card is not an anonymous transaction so you're not comparing like with like.
I think the answer to question 2 is "No". In the context of transaction time, both cash and plastic are superior to Bitcoin. Though I'm happy to go through the logic of how it could be otherwise.
The cash and credit card is not superior (imo). You have the chance of false bills and credit card fraud. There is no such things as a fake bitcoin. I don't want to get into a trust discussion. The plastic facilitates a trust relationship. The reality is that Bitcoin simply cannot compete with cash or plastic when it comes to transaction time. Maybe you can bolt on a trust/insurance service (i.e. hack the Bitcoin protocol), but even then I don't see how that would work without both parties identifying each other. Cash wins. The answer to your question (2) is "yes", you have unfortunate misunderstood how bitcoin works. Cash has obvious problems, to mention a few: 1. You have to trust the government which issue them. 2. False money in circulations. 3. Personal safety risk when carry cash. 4. Biological hazzard, bacterial and virus. 5. Difficult to use cross border. 6. Not feasible for international trades. 7. Not convenient for large trades. 8. 9. 10. 11. |

That's all very fine. The "transaction" is useless unless it's confirmed by miners.
That is a common misunderstanding. There is no need for confirmation for micro transaction. To buy a cup of coffee or a meal does not need confirmation. Buying a house or a car, then would a couple of confirmations properly be a good idea before the buyer drive away with the car. Pay attentions to gmaxwell analogy with credit cards, then will it be more clear to you how bitcoin works. |

But I am sure you will do well.
Congrats Bitcoininformation.

I initially felt a little bad when I saw this "topic", since I know your are not here for the drama, you are here to help and do business.
Nevertheless, you handled this matter as a true legendary member on the default trust list, professional and calm - like you always do.

I'm already facepalming for you folks in case I'm being 'that guy,' but I noticed the multiple addresses thing today, and now I'm not sure if the address that AMHash has for this very same wallet will receive funds.
AMHash doesn't have an option to change the wallet address.
Will the Mycelium wallet app still get this transaction?
I would hope my cloud mining earnings aren't trapped just because Mycelium changed something.
Thanks for any help.
If your address for the AMHash is a legacy addy (and you have backup of that specific addy) then is there nothing to worry about. I am still using Mycelium HD with one of my legacy addys, it works fine with both receiving and sending. |

Shipping from Washington DC, USA. And for the stupidest question of the year I bet, what does 'TPB' stand for?  Am I having a brain fart at the obvious? - Alex Those ships on the brass bars looks like "pirate ships" *wink* |

OP, what country are you shipping from? America. Use European citizens have a hard time on this forum, don't you agree?  Yes I absolutely agree. The whole concept of VAT on precious metals is outrages. |
