I'm not a coder, but i can see how this is really usefull, now if they would only accept bitcoin pledges...

Hm yea, he mentions bitcoin once and it sounds like 'hey they tried but failed...'

I wonder what he means in specific by bitcoin having it's problems, since it does exactly as he describes 20 seconds later...

As long as the btc value keeps rising steadily to some point, fees will cover just fine for the miners i think. If the use of bitcoin doesnt grow, yea, then we are screwed.

Very happy with my S2, i don't understand the comment above about iPhone having superior battery life?
I can run about 3 days on my S2 (that is if i don't watch youtube movies all day long... xD), just regular calling, messaging, looking up  some stuff on the internet.
When surfing a lot and watching videos, having all kinds of messengers logged on, facebook tumbler stuff like that, yea it's  drained in a day then.

For a while now i've been regularly contacting game companies and platforms like steam and origin asking about if they are or are going to support bitcoin payments. Stating the simple reasons; i want anonymity and security for my payments, and also informing them that it's probably profitable for them because no fees or third party processors are involved. (up for discussion..)

Some have completely ignored my question, and others have replied like "no we don't , please use paypal or your credit card." (even had one reply that bitcoin is used for trading illegal drugs and they didnt want any relation with that... -.- )

I was wondering if any of you also contacted gaming related companies to ask / advertise bitcoin?
It may be a very essential starting area for bitcoin to grow big.

How do you guys write these questions or advertisements and how do they reply? Maybe i'm just doing it all wrong and that makes them turn their heads or something...

forking the blockchain, or starting a new one is not a good idea, if bitcoin is to be banned from the internet the current blockchain could just continue inside i2p, no need to fork or start a new one.

i guess bitcoin is doomed then

a digital currency with all the features and good things of bitcoin, without the bad.

W00t! MD5 encryption! can't get better then that 

one of the biggest online illegal underground drug stores?
never even heard of the place ... either it's not so big, or the concept was just flawed to begin with...

I've noticed a few times that during battlefield i get enormous lag spikes, or just a very high ping in general for a few minutes.
So, i went looking and found that the bitcoin client was the cause, eating away all my upload bandwidth.
I couldn't find a setting to limit the max up/down bandwidth that it should use.

Any chance this will be implemented in the near future??

Hey all

I'm trying to export some keys as a safe backup, i'm using an external drive as my datadir and that usually works fine but now i'm running into some trouble.

i'm running:

./bitcoind -datadir=/media/BTC listreceivedbyaddress

it then returns:
error: couldn't connect to server

Am i doing something wrong or how should i go about this?

Didnt you know? Canadian bitcoins are worth at least twice as much as normal bitcoins! Dafuq is that sht?!

My coins belong on my phone, nowhere else

But nice initiative for new users.

Yay, more false information about bitcoin... -.-
The only link between bitcoin and mintchip is that it's digital as far as i can tell.

Nope, my point exactly, and i think people will already be drooling over the idea... 'oh wow, if only this would be released to the public!'
Also, im just ranting out of frustration by how people react to bitcoin..

Reasons why mintchip will succeed and be massively addopted and bitcoin will not:

- Videos, just look at that one single video they put out, it's better then all the bitcoin videos from over the past 2 years put together. (they know how to market their product)
- ... Hmm... that was it actually...

When talking to strangers and bring up bitcoin, they have never heard of it, none of them... (and yea, then it all starts over again 'ponzi scheme, scam, blabla...').
But this, this is the Royal Canadian Mint, or FED or whoever comes up with it. They have instant trust, specially with these smooth videos.

Will this system allow our site to accept customers to purchase something valued in bitcoin with any of the mtgox-accepted funding methods as well?

Say im selling a 1BTC starbucks map, can a user go to the checkout, pay 3,6 EUR (or whatever current market value is) with SEPA and when processed, we will receive the 1BTC?

Would be cool yes, but the miner software would have to be changed, since it's p2p you can't just use a server/client tunnel.
