My word, what a mess.

Well, I've railed on people enough for trusting these folks in the first place. I'll just say I sincerely hope all works out for the best for all of you still waiting on this. For those of you in the northern hemisphere anyway, it's summer, go float down some rivers on inner-tubes, have some bbq's and drink heavily with friends while you're waiting this out. Good luck. 

look go to Google
type in "never ending bull run"
click images
the very first image is me cheering

i am not kidding, do it

Get out of my head!

Have'n a beer watching the game  

10$ will either appear next week, or in 4 months

I think its very likely we will be seeing a short term down trend from here. much like 7.20 to 5, this time the 9.50 high will stabilize at 7$ 8$

but in the long term and mid term  bitcoin is defiantly going for a never ending bull run.

Its not unreasonable to think an EXTREME price correction on the up side will happen in the next few years, it really wouldn't take much to set off the bomb that is bitcoin

someone call mtgox, to put it back in a loop 

solid coin can't die! i still have popcorn!

Where is Brad Pitt now?! ahahaha!

This thread is so in denial. More for me.

I make more btc by mining litecoins.

Also a currency doesn't need monopoly status. And its intrinsic value is not how many people use it, but rather this:
intrinsic value = how many people use it * (how quickly they use it * how much they expect for it) / (avg duration between purchase and delivery / avg item value)

Litecoiners are not in denial about the coming collapse.
Bitcoiners are already done building their bunkers.
Early adopters have no pedestrian needs.
Newcomer's skills are not in demand with those who have the money.

If anything will bring down a currency it's the community becoming brittle and stagnant.
Litecoin isn't quite there yet.

You guys are retarded to assume pirate is the only player.  You're also way off topic.  There are already enough pirate FUD threads, can we keep this one for screenshots, or am I just going to have to give up on this subforum?

You guys are right, thank you! I have edited my post.
The total losses from those trades described, based on a 44k BTC investment amount to ~4500 BTC.

That is a technical impossibility.

I answered my own question in the android miner thread. even running the optimized neon code from pooler an a9 isn't power competitive.

still, settings for scrypt using 32-128mb would have been better I think -- gpus have faster ram than most any other consumer or industry device.

edit: okay, sorry to be OT but if you wanted to make it CPU mining only, why wouldn't you just set the memory requirement to be 1 gigabyte per thread?  Most computers right now have 4-16GB of RAM --> 4-16 threads, which would be terrible on a GPU with only 1-2GB of RAM.  You could make the blockchain halving occur every 18 months and then with the blockchain halving increase the amount of RAM required by 2 eg (1GB -> 2GB).  In accordance with Moore's law, that would keep the quantity of RAM being used on target for a CPU and most likely always above that provided for by a GPU.

So why didn't artforz do this in the first place?

later in headlines: After huge outage of major bitcoin exchange, bitcoin rate seems surprisingly stable and on track with rallying without a diminished demand.
