This is clear  miss information, you can't double spend something that has 0 confirms.

Rather you have elected to act on zero confirmation.

your confusing proportion of supply with number of coins.

Whatever BTC you buy now is on the 10e-8 ie the satoshi basis, any change of eg 10e -9 etc that that and you keep your current percentage of the whole 21 Million.

Beginning April 24, Walmart will allow someone to send money from one Walmart in the U.S. to another, where it then can be picked up. The transfer takes less than 10 minutes. The fee is $4.50 to transfer up to $50 and $9.50 to send up to $900.


EXPENSIVE and limited v BTC

BTC $900 / $50 for 0.0002 ~ 0.0001 BTC or at 1K per BTC 20 ~ 10 c

[1] Did the open source April NXT have all the crypto traps taken out, or did the NAS guy figure it out.

[2] was the dev who launched NAS the same that launched NXT? and does [1] if not true make this more likely

[3] Also can anyone explain how the POS for NXT avoids the need for checkpointing in its algo

[4] What are the differences between NAS/NXT & NXTL
There is no difference.  They are all a bloody mess.

well that was erudite

Either he is one of the biggest scam artists in history or he is an arrogant, reckless, egomaniac asshole who ridiculously overestimated his skills.

Both ways I agree with bryant.coleman. Never thought that one person could damage Bitcoin that much.

It's quite impressive really 1 MK GOXING >> PBOC imho although PBOC seems to be trying really hard to out GOX MK

however its quite clear, GOX, GOXXED and GOXING are now part of the Lexicon

Tenebrix network is flaking on me presently. Fairbrix seems stable, though. Who's mining these coins?  Huh

now that is the question.....I mine primecoin, for the first few days and it became unprofitable really quick...who mine anything for so long beats the  $%$% out of me....

It was a very impressive bubble. Why would anyone who holds BC ever think it would act differently to every other coin out there?

I'm sure it's lovely. The people who milked it don't really care about that.
BTC was fallen from 30$ to 1$ once even...
BC in this few month went up and down too this are facts.
10x over pump was before.
5m volume - with 10m market cap means something many cheap coins were sold from 500-1000 deepths.
This coins is still under 1$ per each it have big room to rise.
On forex or in crypto you have ups and downs.
People who invest on way up and wanted ride waves can be caught as lat in train unfourtanetly.
When BC risen 10x in 2-3 days it was impossible to hold price all we know that nothing is rising forever up...
anyway that volume brings new people in BC and this is great.
BC to rise needs dumps to more people want join in after selling storm and new price lvl is created every time.
In long run price will go up but such events are allso necessary to new owners to be opportunity to join in.

I didn't sold my BC from beginning i was donating projects and buying new BC's.
(i tried daily trade but i wasn't good at it and decided for long houl i am very happy from my decision now. )
and  from direction which BC has it for sure is making BIG itself.
Value of it gives people and their hard work around a coin.

going on the list of quotables
This coins is still under 1$ per each it have big room to rise.

1551  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: "Merchant acceptance is NEGATIVE for bitcoin" on: April 16, 2014, 10:29:55 AM
There are three stages:

Merchants not accepting bitcoins.
Merchants accepting bitcoins but converting them immediately to fiat.
Merchants accepting them and keeping a bitcoin holding.

This is a progression which must be undergone before Bitcoin can reach a plateau as a widespread and significant currency and payments system. It says a lot that the argument is moving from the inane Bitcoin "scam/ponzi/laugh" to Bitcoin "can't be successful as it is swapped for fiat after use". It means that the detractors are losing ground.


this....I see early adopters cashing out some bitcoins which will push price down a bit....but long term it helps spread the coins, but in any event the real $$$ are not in retail.
1552  Economy / Speculation / Satoshi's speculation on: April 16, 2014, 05:04:40 AM
It seems [to me] that Satoshi was thinking of 1c = 1 satoshi

so 1 BTC = 1 Million.

1553  Economy / Speculation / Re: High buyers @700,800,900,1000,1200, what will you do with your coins? on: April 16, 2014, 03:48:15 AM
what makes you believe that the same thing will happen again with this high prices? A raise from $68 to $200 seems way more easy than an raise from $700 to $2000.

Percentage-wise, they're about the same. A year ago you could have said that a rise from $1 to $32 (as in spring 2011) seems way more easy than a rise from $13 to $266 (winter 2013) or a rise from $50 to $1100 (last autumn) but that's exactly what happened.

We're still all early adopters, even the Johnny-come-lately noobs who've only been on board since the price hit triple digits. Wait until adoption starts to go mainstream.


Its easier for BTC to go UP than down below saturation point...why?

the stronger it gets the stronger its gets. There is far more buying power on the table and so more attraction.

consider it to a long time to get to $1, now it does $1 change every minute / 10 seconds or less
same for $10 and $100.

Now BTC goes up and down $50 ~ $100 no worries in a day.

At 10K BTC will go up and down $500 easily in a day.

I only expect this to stop or become less as the 100K+ approaches simply because far less people / organizations will have money to pump it around at 100K, and all the weak hands will be well and truly flushed out.

At say 500K a coin, buying 100 will cost you $50 Million. Not so many people have a $50 Million ready to go or even transfer on to the market to do this. Normal capital controls in money Alpha (FIAT) does not allow it. To do a reasonable pump dump takes 1K coins, and that 1/2 a billion to throw around even less people have that.

Also its good to see the "tulipers" have finally shut up.

The next bunch of people to shut up will be the PONZI crowd, then that stupid graph you know the one, the econmoists, the central banks, the govs' and finally everyone will just use crypto's

Fiat will end up a curiosity within a generation or two. There will be youtube video's kids react to FIAT

"what is this, where the qr code?"
"do I hold it up to the screen?"
"are those numbers at the bottom private keys (serial number)"
"I can see it says in GOD we trust....is "GOD" a type of crypto...was there a GOD coin?"
"A bank? you mean I have to go into a building far away just to get MY money?"

1556  Economy / Economics / Retail NOT= BTC price improveing much. Amazon, etc not that important on: April 15, 2014, 10:38:26 PM
The real value is not in retail. Essentially you buy depreciating good from retails outlets, of small value that are thrown away.

As a sector, retail is worth around about 6% of US GDP.

This angst over Amazon, Walmart, <insert retailer of angst here> is misplaced.

In fact I would be careful what you wish for.

The Real value is in appreciating asset purchase, backbone currency.


I do however add I think the "recognition factor" of retail outlets is > than 6% GDP.
1557  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin as property; btc to usd is a refund, why money transmitter licenses? on: April 15, 2014, 10:20:19 PM
I was thinking about this, if Bitcoin is treated as property in the USA, then why the need for money transmitter licenses for exchanges based/operating in the US?

If you think about it.. as an exchange you're taking back a product "Bitcoin" (property) and "refunding" for USD. Wouldn't every store, which has a refund policy, need a money transmitter license?

this "contradiction" has been touched on here

1558  Economy / Speculation / Re: The Ceiling Is 10k on: April 15, 2014, 09:15:01 AM
10k is a stopping point on the way to 100K

It will go something like this

10 K --> 14K,

FUD FUD FUD
BAN
Arrest
HACK
FUD
ALT?Huh?


3K
2K

insert the silly graph, you know the one.

any bulls left

whale temple thread

rinse repeat on to 100K

and so on.

What I really love is how some many economists will be left looking realllly stupid

Alt coins are about to become obsolete...
Some Alt coins will still exist.
Hopefully we will see less new crap.
Actually more pos coins are being made now than before. People are finally twigging to the PeerCoin model.

PeerCoin may replace BTC, or at least BTC may have to adopt POS+POW.
