Any guesses as to the reason it didn't show up in the pre-0.8 branch? I don't see any reason that the original transaction could be systematically rejected by one branch and not the other. Even transactions that hadn't made it into blocks in the pre-0.7 branch should still be in the nodes' memory pools and double-spends rejected.
Has this been answered? Indeed, this is a good question. Every client should have refused the second transaction, since it was a double spend. So what happened? A miner somehow received it and confirmed it because of the higher fee? |

Based on what you said, WiW, there is a 51% attack everytime a block is orphaned  so dozens of time per month! lol |

Forcing the 0.7 clients to upgrade to 0.8 instead of orphaning the chain would have avoided that... but would require everyone in the bitcoin world to upgrade...

That is why bitcoin is still beta software

Fair enough then! So when are they going to release an external GPU which I can connect to thunderbolt and then daisychain  Seriously buy an asic |

I'm definitely surprised how many people upgraded to 0.8 already.
I was naive enough to think this had been tested thoroughly. Why wasn't this released as 0.7.99 or something? It was clearly not ready for such an even version number. Do you know that the bug was not in 0.8?  problem was with 0.7, not 0.8 |

Nah they will say that bitcoin crashed and is bugged. Incoming cheap coins  |

Most people dont realize this yet. You lose trust, its gone you cant get it back...
Yeah i understand you, you no more trust bitcoin. But you are lucky, i can buy all your bitcoins for 1$ each!!!!!!! Since you no more trust it...  |

Related: When a majority of miners realise that lifting the 1MB block capacity will hit their pocket, they'll never let it happen unless the adjustment is done in such a way as to give them more control (e.g.: direct voting power) over the scarcity. Note: I'm not talking about the database fiasco, but allowing actual "block height" to be bigger than 1MB. tl;dr from earlier thread I started: - Every 1kB of new block space = "my precious"
- so-called 'fees' are really bids for that precious resource
- more block space = less precious.
- therefore, maybe miners should have a voice.
aka: supply and demand. More space=more transactions=more fees. Yes, fees will be lower per transaction, but this will be countered by the increased number of transactions. |

Bitcoin is a free world, everyone can join, contribute, make profit etc, no matter the sex, we don't even know who satoshi is! And, despite that, only 4% are women?

Unless you have an ATI Radeon Today is more like "Unless you have an ASIC" |

Confirmation=block
By running the qt client, you run a full node wich relay the blocks and the unconfirmed transactions to other nodes. Since bitcoin is a p2p network, the more node there are, the better.

This crash from 700 to 450 is not what i would like for bitcoin, so no, i hope we are not like apple |

That you need to backup the blockchain.info wallet
|
|

Bitcoin is still a high risk thing. We do not know what will happen in the next months or years. Yes, probably its price will skyrocket, but maybe not, who know? since BTC can be cashed when needed? Yeah sure, but if you sell BTC when it is worth 1$ and you bought it at 45$, well not a good thing. |

It is important to NOT use an online wallet wich may steal your bitcoin and wich will make your bitcoin disappear if it goes offline forever.
Blockchain.info is safe if you backup your wallet, so incase blockchain.info is attacked/seized/nuked you still have it.
This said, running a full node help the network.
