Legal tender is not what you think. Legal tender means that everyone is forced by law to accept it. it is bad law. It is used for junk currencies and should not be needed for bitcoin. All you need is for one federal judge to overrule this "opinion" and a legal precedent will be set that others will look toward for guidance. They can make anything a rule. But a good legal argument will turn that rule into a useless unenforceable document. Problem is, getting a solid enough legal argument. Property definition is a beginning. At least they recognize the existence. Now, the burden is shifted into making Bitcoin a legal tender. This is the conundrum (and raising the bar from property considerably). This is a hell of a start if you ask my slightly informed opinion.

Consuming trading signals requires trust (quality + no front running) it has to be run by an entity with a lot to lose.

Maybe they see it as payback for witch trials?

Is this market research for Blockchain.info's new bitcoin bloomberg-like terminal?
I don't think they will take dollars, just crypto.

I doubt the US will ever recognise it as legal tender, but it's not going to stop them from trying to take their cut.
Legal tender law means that other people are forced to accept it. Such laws are made for worthless unbacked paper currencies, that you would otherwise not want, but are forced by law to take. If legal tender law were to apply to bitcoin, that would be an epic fail for bitcoin. It should never need force to pay, it should be taken eagerly by those that understand it. |

The hope it goes down for you is so strong, that the line curves back in time. |

If I want to send XCP from my blockchain.info PoB account to my real BTC address, do I need to download the private key from blockchain.info and run counterpartyd? Is there any other way?
no other way until web-wallet launch as soon as these web wallets are done (both for xcp and mastercoin), i want to go and start setting up satoshis square events for large cities who wants to help me? i can cover europe, need people world wide, and da moon of course no pay for this, this is to teach people how to do p2p commerce so they can teach others. no one? sad... skyping while doing europe square so the rest of the map can see how it goes There are regular Satoshi Squares in Los Angeles. Lots of Mastercoiners in LA already, so I could step up for this if there's not someone more eager. |

Le Bump.
BTW, sorry the custom products are taking so long to launch, just too many things to do in life… and in cryptocurrency-land.
I'm looking to take delivery of a CNC next week. Hopefully we can make some interesting new gizmos and widgets. |

Hey Adam and boys,
whats happening in BTCland?
Saw Gox bit the bullet but didn't expect to see this much carnage.
Someone give me a quick update. China has been banning Bitcoin for the last four months. Current deadline is 15th April. Also, every long-term technical indicator is going down: daily 200 sma, weekly 21 ema... Fundamental indicators? number of transactions has turned south for the first time since December. The only things holding us are the $400 double (december and february) bottom, that there is not much selling from BIT, and the fact that volume is high though inconspicuous due to exchange market fragmentation. And eBay now has a category for "virtual currency". Best daily updates: http://www.moneyandtech.com/Every day. Start there, then ask about specifics. |

Why fight against choice, diversity and new businesses?
They bought the bitcoin, so who am I to say that they shouldn't do what they want with them?
Lots of folks don't like what they are doing, lots do.
I don't think it should be "THE pricing mechanism", ever, but still think what they are doing is a great thing, and they are going after it in a big way with a lot of energy and resources. I wish them every success. Just because we aren't their market doesn't mean that there isn't one.

Both use the bitcoin block chain so confirm times are the same.
There are no new coins of either. There are more Mastercoin than Counterparty
Since they are on the bitcoin block chain, they use the same algorithms of bitcoin, they are not separately mined, or merge mined, they use the bitcoin protocol as the fundamental layer.
The feature sets are fairly similar, the implementations have significant differences. Both of these change rapidly though as they are under heavy development.
Mistake here, there are approx 4.27 times more XCP than MSC Thank you, I need my delsexia meds. There are: 619478.6 MSC 2648755 XCP |

So where do mastercoins come from? How are they made and why can't unlimited be made. I don't understand how you get mastercoins if you can't mine them. For me Mastercoin looks like another ripple with unfair distribution and no mining.
I think I like the philosophy behind Counterparty better than mastercoin. So my personal choice would be Counterparty.
- Now I am just looking to have technical questions answered. What are the differences between the technical protocols of Mastercoin vs. Counterparty.
- What are the confirm times of blocks on both of these coins?
- How many coins will there ever be on both of the coins?
- What algorithm do they use that is comparable to mining?
- What features does one offer that the other can't offer?

greenaddress.it is more secure than your suggested method.
