I don't know what would be the difference in confirmation times if you change your client. The transaction confirmation time depends on the miners' side, not on the client that you are using.

Nah, the blockchain bug (the one with the spent Satoshi balance, if that's what you're talking about) isn't the one that caused the delays on the confirmation of your transaction. Honestly, 0.0001 is a fairly nice fee you can put if you want your transactions to be confirmed. Most of the transactions I see now only put 0.0001 as a transaction fee.

Will be paid later in my signature campaign. A little lower than the last week but still I'm thankful to whatever amount I'm going to receive.

-I only participate to topics that I have some knowledge to or topics that I know I can contribute.
-I spend 6 hours on this forum everyday, mostly browsing and part of it replying to threads.
-My posts are based on my knowledge and different other sources that supports my claims. It's difficult to state a thing in which you cannot provide certain evidence to back it up.
-Once. Spammed my way to get a better pay on a signature campaign and bam! Away with the ban hammer for 14 days.

I know how the method works, just still can't understand entropy completely. Isn't entropy some sort of randomness?

Don't worry, once marco returned from where he is right now, the limits would be removed. I don't know, but until now I find it difficult to post with different accounts all at the same time. Isn't that prohibited in this forum especially when in a signature campaign?

Free bitcoin? You don't earn free, you work for it actually. Faucets won't just take the cut to give you reasonable amounts of bitcoins. You are even lucky to earn a dollar within a week. There are different things you can do: sell your services, sell some items that you aren't using anymore, work for someone and ask for bitcoin as a payment. These were the methods I find the easiest when it comes to acquiring free bitcoins.

1. If the whole network consumes more than 2% of the world's power consumption, then you are asking for more demand of resources which is not feasible for the whole world itself. That's why power-efficient yet powerful chips should be invented as difficulty goes up so as to go on par with the current power consumption of the network.

2. Well as to what BurtW already explained on his post way back August 2014, we cannot use that insane amount of power in just a day to mine very few coins.

3. No one knows for certain.

Only those who mined and joined the bitcoin train early could quit their day job now and still be rich. If only I knew what was I doing back in 2010, I would already be rich by now.

Back to the topic, if bitcoin is $10k or more a piece then I'll probably quit my day job and create my own business. In that way I will have a passive income and I will get the privilege to be called as "boss".

Conflicting ideas, I guess? I think bitcoin will be the coin that beats all for years long. If you sold all your coins earlier, then you're very eager to earn profits, which is bad I think, as most of the time it interrupts your potential earning. As for the coin to replace bitcoin in the future, it must surpass what already is within bitcoin's concept, and it must be accepted by a wide audience before we even call it as successful.

I think that is not possible as of this moment. If implemented, this could save time on managing ignore list.


Have you tried Ctrl + F in searching someone on your ignore list? I agree that a separate search feature for the ignore list alone would help save the time of people who have a long list of ignores, though I think it is not necessary in this forum to have one.

Thinks about the profits, not the actual concepts that bitcoin could actually bring. Given that most of the hashing power comes from China, there is no doubt that they only want the profits. If those mining farms formed together and centralize their mining power, I don't know whether I'll stay with bitcoin or not. If ever a big dump happens, then we might have some idea who did what.

Store multiple copies of wallet.dat and private keys on a machine or a flash drive that isn't connected to the internet. That's my solution to your problem.

First bullet: not that appealing. If you say that living entirely in bitcoin without converting to fiat, it would be very, very difficult for the user because it is a case-to-case basis. Also depends on the location whether there will be merchants wherein you can buy your daily needs.
Second bullet: anyone can already search that on Google.
Third bullet: for the economists in us, this could be quite an interesting course. But asking a hundred bucks for that seems to be very expensive.
Fourth bullet: create your own altcoin? Might be appealing to some, but I don't know, maybe it will not be that inviting as most of the people don't want to sweat out their brains trying to create the "next big thing."

Personally I would use Electrum. Been using it for almost a year now and so far I haven't encountered any bugs, not to mention it is very newbie-friendly (at least for me.)

Btw, what kind of "emergency" are we talking about here?

This is normal to the signature campaign spammers to boost up their post count. I do not see the point of creating multiple accounts just for the purpose of doing simultaneous sig campaign when you can just focus on one and join a campaign that has no limits on the posts.


I think you are referring to ban evasion? I'm not quite sure with the ban period though.

As what the LiteCoinGuy already pointed out, https://www.titanbtc.com/ is where you can get solid physical bitcoins. Personally I'd go for Cascacius but I haven't seen much of the Cascacius guys around.

I agree a little bit about the religion part. Remember the times when the Christians are battling against the Muslims in the so-called "Holy Crusade"? They are fighting for their faith, when in reality they can still be living side by side and respect each other's faith. Utter nonsense in today's standards, but it is written in history. Nowadays, faith is almost set aside as being one of the reasons of a war. The most reasons for a war to break are money, territory, and resources. If you want to survive, you need to have territory and resources, and to accommodate a nation's growing population, you must either reduce the supplies you give to your citizens or you find something in which you can gather more resources to cater your citizen's needs, and that's one of the reasons I can think of why nations turn to war.

There are a lot of things that are getting tackled upon within the bitcoin network--from side chains, block size increase, VC money pouring into the economy, smart contracts and so on. Aside from the expected block reward halving next year, 2016 will be an exciting year for bitcoin. Many companies are already turning their heads on to bitcoin, but this time it's for real. Mix the block reward halving and continuous adoption and you'll get what everyone wants to: boom in price.

You better did that back then. blockchain.info was known to have several bugs and security flaws for a time now, and it isn't even advisable to store your coins in an online wallet. The mobile app is fine, but with the recurring bugs and security issues, I don't think people would still be confident on doing business with blockchain.info.
