Bitcoin has no inherent value. Cost for creation and time doesn't matter as long as bitcoiners wouldn't believe bitcoins are worth what they are. Take that believe away and they are worth nothing. So these two answers doesn't matter really.

It's different from other things like bread or something that has a value outside of being a currency.

Wouldn't these spamtransactions be lost after some time when no miner includes them in a block?

I know that this would mean that the miner had to keep all transactions in the RAM but i think it's better to adjus the RAM instead giving in to spam.

Looks like a post spammer who tries to raise his post count in order to level up.

Reporting him now.

@Threadstarter why don't you simply manually back up the blockchain. Create a batchscript that does this for you and you should be safe.

I did not know that poloniex offers margin trading. I imagine this being very risky. Altcoin markets could be moved with low amounts of money so that leveraged trades are successful. I don't see this becoming a success model. Though maybe i'm wrong.

You can leverage on bitfinex.com, btc.sx, btcchina.com (my favorite), 796.com and many others.

Forex can be leveraged on 1broker.com.

I think you need to check things out for yourself since i doubt someone will do all the work for you.

They can steal directly too. The current money restrictions in greece (only 60€ per customer per day) are only a slight steal. Though in cyprus the banks, and the governments, confiscated real money. There were people that took out a loan that freshly was on their bank account. At the end they had to pay back the loan and had no money lent in practise.

I know already what will happen. When one or more of these coins are established then the banks will lobby the governments to forbid the unregulated coins. Reasons might be terrorism, money laundering and so on. Of course they do it in order to gain money.

This happened before with so many things, i don't even want to think about.

Bitcoin did not make this but the rising bitcoin price can come from that. It does not mean that all chinese, who don't want to lose anymore, go into bitcoin. Bitcoin is small so i would await that only some people move there. So a small rise in bitcoin price is still explainable i think.

Besides the nxt marketplace there is a p2p-marketplace named OpenBazaar. The last project received some good funding in the last time and they might be worth being checked out by you. It was hard to use them a year ago but i guess they now are more mainstream.

Thanks for explaining to me Muhammed Zakir. I didn't know that Multibit has unencrypted traffic. :O

But i think electrum is more dangerous. I mean an attacker only would need to set up a server and he would get all the wallet addresses. Im not sure if a wallet needs to connect to him first but the auto connect is enabled by default. And when it's disabled then im still not sure if electrum isn't sometimes connecting to the other servers.

So i think electrum is a mess anonymitywise.

I always only pay the minimum fee to get included. Which often turns out to be zero when it's allowed. And i never had problems. In the rare cases transactions take longer i tested sending another transaction with higher fee and they were not faster.

Maybe some time in the future, when more miners will block zero or low fee transactions, that will be a point. But not now in my experience.

Oh well, that are good news for him. Knowing how the american court system works it might very well be that he comes free. As the poor victim of a conspiracy or similar. Still... this remains a exciting story for a movie.

Oh, right... i don't know how i forgot what it meant.

But Multibit doesn't store the blockchain, so still nobody except the multibit wallet knows all the addresses in that wallet?

It's different to electrum where the servers practically know all the addresses in a electrum wallet?

Sorry for asking you out.

So how much did  hashfast earn in total at all? Is he maybe the real person behind and he wanted to secure the cash?

Surely the victims can argue that paying out this amount of money wasn't a business decision but something different. I seeing the amount of value i think a court will agree.

I think you are right. But it seems Backpage doesn't have a choice. They need to find a way for their payment processes. It will surely be a big hit for them but surely better than giving up.

*lol* Your'e right on that point. It's so hard to explain bitcoin and i often end up explaining things that are too hard to understand. Simply because there is no good way to avoid this since the questions lead to that direction at one point in the conversation.

So where is this node? It's a server isn't it? I know that the server can't spend the coins but still, he knows all addresses in that wallet, right? Its similar to electrum as long as iam not wrong.

So theoretically i see a risk.

Maybe there are other files involved that trigger which addresses are shown or so. Maybe in your old place the transaction and wallet was seeable, then you moved, had other configuration files, and the address including transaction was not shown anymore. Then it was recreated.

Only a guess. I don't know the inner workings of the client so good.

I don't know the case but i hope he didn't sign something in order to get a lower sentence. It could mean a big problem to him then. Imagine him getting asked why he want's a revision when he explained, out of his free will, that he did all things.

Sorry, i mixed that then.

So the problem is you received change on an address that only was created later. Though the address had to exist before in your wallet, otherwise you wouldn't had get the change to it.

I think since you copied the wallet.dat that something was happen on the way. I doubt it's a general problem.

What happens when the 20 posts in a week aren't met? Rollover?

And what are the week timeframes? You know, i applied in the middle of the week so 20 posts won't happen except i post intentionally more.

Edit: I don't understand why beginners & help doesn't count. In my opinion that would be the best place to target new users.

Edit2: And are there boni of any kind, besides that you can add your reflink?
