I guess some people missed the point of Anonymous... As do the donators...

They should have made a new video, Saying FLAT money just makes her sound stupid, clueless of what she's talking about, something people will notice.

Why all this new currencies don't have merged mining? It could be an interesting experiment before the namecoin chain changes its protocol. Also they could have the same difficulty as bitcoin in little time !! Or is the purpose of the currency to "steal" computing power from the bitcoin chain?
No, the purpose is to hype it, then cash out and let the project die off. Not in SolidCoin's case, at least that wasn't my intention as the developer. I have only been able to mine 2600 or so coins since the public start using 600MH. So yes if I cashed out now I would make some BTC, but I also would have made BTC mining BTC, so it's nearly a zero sum game there. I have actively tried to get as many individual people holding SolidCoins rather than a few (Ixcoin/iocoin/etc), more so because I want as many people as possible to share that early wealth. Over 15000 SC have gone to bounties, with more to come, all verified. I think with any new coin starting you're always going to have people trying to make some money by being an early adopter or whatever, there's no real way around that. Is it bad? It's up to people to decide, people seem to think it's fine many of the early BTC adopters are apparently rich. But as to whether I will get rich of am trying to hype it to get rich, it's quite ridiculous. I already have enough money to live comfortably but I think the possibilities of being able to transfer funds around the world anonymously without centralization a goal worth my time . I just want a better network. Ok, so the whole bitcoin thing security is based on proof of work, how does your faster processing make it any better? Since more blocks != more work. You still 'need' the 'hour' of work. I don't see how SolidCoin solves anything here. Also, the static fee, how would that hold up if SolidCoin were to gain value? You release a new version with lower fees? Thats the same as BitCoin does now. Only real issue addressed here is lowering the difficulty when masses of miners quit. Very usefull if SC remains very small. BitCoin has a lot of dedicated miners who don't quit just because the exchange price would drop low. If either currency were to drop to zero, both blockchains die.

It would be nice if we had an option to keep it running in the background. I noticed it shuts down whenever the app doesn't have focus anymore.

Walmart is an american only thing mostly, while bitcoin is international
I live in Europe and almost no one know what "walmart" is
Seems it's some kind of giant supermarket where they sell almost everything... Haven't seen something like that in Europe yet.

unfortunately bitcoin is not designed for microtransactions, this would completely choke the bitcoin network

Sad to see bitcoin has died, well i just deleted my wallet and moved on with my life.
|
|

Interesting, honestly i didn't expect they would get downgraded out of self interest.

I had a similar experience. I totally understand why everybody warned me about bitcoins being a scam and i see how it fails.

I'd vote for Mumble aswell, superior quality/bandwith/latency in my experience. And ofcourse open source and encrypted.

I had the same problem in the past, only way i was able to solve it was to make a copy of the wallet.dat, remove everything, blockchain, database. Put back an old backup of the wallet (one that doesn't contain these transactions yet) and let it redownload the full blockchain. Today -rescan might just do the trick, but since the transaction is stored in the current wallet.dat i think it still shows the coins missing.

The idea is to make people think, geez, that's more then all my savings TOGETHER! And then, they watch TV.

Why do you need the blockchain for an offline wallet at all??
|
|
|
Wait, what? They donate over 4K to some game? Yet refuse to take (even partial) responsibility for theft of 20 bitcoins???
