Amsterdam and The Hague will hear about Bitcoin.
I've seen some enthusiastic bitcoin people there.

I've been asking merchants this for months, but bluntly said, nobody seems to give a shit they are all in the line of "PayPal, Creditcard or gtfo"
Sad though...

Glad i cashed out at 14, i'll buy back at 0.00001 cents

lol u guys are so optimistic
u should all mine hoard and buy solid coin, cause this new scam will last at least 2 more weeks, whereas bitcoin will fall to -2.30 USD before friday! So get your 2 weeks more of profit with solidcoin!

now gtfo.

I thought of this years ago, and for the same reason Bitcoin will fail, this will fail.
People are stupid and ignorant and listen to governments that do not like these things, thus, it will fail naturally or be made illegal.

How much will you sell those for when exchanges trade @ 0.00xxx?

Lol, alternative blockchains are fun to make some quick proffit, but to take any next scamcoin seriously on any big bitcoin exchange will only hurt the image of bitcoin in the end i think.

The hell guys...
I had to stop mining when it dropped under 15 USD...
You guys have free electricity or what? :S

This is the one big crash we will see, in about 1-2 weeks bitcoin is dead, no miners, no traders.
Sell while you can.

Just received an email from 'info@mtgox.com' with the news of 11-08-2011, a link in the message has the text of the mtgox newsletter link but truely links to:

carefull if you got this email too.

Miners take it seriously only as a 'get rich quick' scheme.

Afaik they use AES-256 standard so it should be safe for a while, maybe there's a bug in the implementation though... check the source if you don't trust it.

First, bitcoin will fall, people will jump and hype SolidCoin, because it's sooo much *cough* better...
Then, people will say, well this is retarded and useless, SolidCoin crashes and dies out.
Then they all have a laugh about how stupid ecurrencies were and how we left so many people holding the bag.
Then the economy crashes and we whish we had put any serious effort into bitcoin instead of making it a personal profit sceme.

Just what my crystal ball tells me.

Guys calm down, SC value isn't exploding, since the BTC you're trading them for are dropping like a rock.. xD
Wonder if it's because of SC...

Thats not how the blockchain works. Thats how the transaction 'order' gets processed.
It just spreads like a virus thru all the nodes, the one node that manages to put it into the next block sends out this block to the nodes it's connected to, adding to their blockchain, those nodes will forward the new block to their connected nodes aswell etc etc, again, like a virus.

However, this process has nothing to do with confirmations.

confirmations = blocks.

The block that contains your transaction gets 'burried' under new blocks, every new block on top is another confirmation.

The difficulty changes at first made me pretty enthusiastic about solidcoin, however, thinking it over it doesn't make much of a difference at all. (still some though)
If the value would crash and stay down this dramaticaly that most miners call quits i think Bitcoin failed as a whole. Most of the time the value will just recover and the few miners that quit will either stay out or jump back in again.

SC can easily be pump and dump all that is required is a few bitcoiners with a few bitcoins to spare.
- Keep buying SC for the first period of it's existence, price rises because of you pumping in bitcoins.
- People think this is the next big thing, they start buying in, price rises even more.
- Wait...
- Sell your shitload of SC at crazy prices.

I believe this is whats going on...

Better sell them fast and cheap before it's too late then, send me a pm with prices

I expect the community to have died out because of trolls and flamewars.
Bitcoin will see it's biggest depression and biggest rise aswell in the meantime,
in about a year i expect the value to be about 300-500 USD, not all because bitcoin went up so much but also because the dollar is tanking, as is the euro And we're just getting started!

Hope your stolen resources make you feel proud of your earned bitcoins...

I don't think people are yelling 'scam'  because SC is a threat to BC.
It is because SC doesn't offer anything really new.
Main points for SC as far as i understand are FAST and SECURE transactions.
As i've said earlier, the security of a transaction in terms of a double spend doesn't have to do with the time it takes to create a block, it has to do with the amount of work over a certain period of time at a given difficulty. For bitcoin that's generally one hour of work, meaning avg of 6 blocks, for SC it's still an hour of work so; 20 blocks.
One plus for fast blocks is that the statistic variation for somebody to find a block is distributed a bit more nicely...
In the end, blockchain method won't work for any instant transactions, we need and have other solutions for that.

Other thing that simply annoys the shit out of me is the 'no early adopters with huge loads of SC' argument.
The early adopters of bitcoin have/had potential to become rich, many have sold their stash at insanely low prices. Everybody jumping in at this moment is still an early adopter.
People who farm SC for the first months will be early adopters too, having insane amounts, just because it's 1000 early adopters instead of 100 doesn't make any difference.
In my opinion the BC early adopters deserve it for establishing all that we have now, whereas SC early adopters are just pathetic speculators or jealous people who can't stand anyone else getting rich for being first.

I do like the GUI improvements, sucks that BC dev's don't work on that. Wallet encryption is nice too.
This version crashes for me on exit by the way on Win7.
