I didn't think Richard was all that keen on bitcoin. Maybe I'm thinking of someone else?

Might as well just write China off and move on. I did that last year before Christmas. Chinese government don't want bitcoin, it is very obvious indeed. The Chinese government will get what they want, you can be certain of that.

Maybe the author would like to publish an article with a list of the best investments over the last 5 years. Cheesy

Miners have no obligation to include transactions in their found block.


Interesting. So does that imply that if some corporation had enough hash power they could mine blocks and just bottleneck all the transactions looking to be confirmed on the network?

This is of course assuming said corporation could constantly hog 99.99% of the blocks?

Yes, that would be an 51% attack.

The reason is that people who buy on overstock or tigerdirect are just buying more bitcoin to replace what they spent.  They originally bought the bitcoin as an investment, they are excited to be able to use it for something, but they don't want to exit their position.

I always buy back the same or exceeding the amount I just spent. It's a rule I've always stuck to over the years.

Today is the last day you will see BTC >500$ this year.

What about next year?

I talked to Satoshi and he said the bitcoin code expires at the end of the year. Every computer with a client on it will explode on 1/1/2015

Nasty for anyone with a brainwallet.

@Buffer Overflow have you seen that before, except for block #1 and in the early days?

Yes lots of times.

1810  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 65535 highest port? (p2pool) on: April 01, 2014, 09:23:40 AM
Here is a good list of the ports.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_TCP_and_UDP_port_numbers

You shouldn't pick a port from 0 to 1023 because you will need to have root privileges to use those.

Satoshi did, so clearly you are wrong.

I'm sick and tired of seen how bots ruin my Maxcoin trades all the time.

Realsolid, you know what ethics mean? Your bots make you money, but they ruin my trading experience. I think I'll move my trading elsewhere.

I suggest you invest a little time researching Realsolid's colourful history.

1815  Economy / Speculation / Re: Just moved half of my funds off Bitstamp back into nice safe and warm Bank Konto on: March 18, 2014, 11:15:18 AM
I have just decided to shift half my USD from Bitstamp back to the safety of my EUR bank account.

It's safer, but certainly very very far from safe. Bank bail-ins are just around the corner.


If the banking system collapses, then btc price will collapse too. Btc demand is fueled mostly by wires of fiat from bank accounts from speculators.

The actual bail-in should prevent the system collapse, at the expense of depositors.

The only question left is "which country is next?"

Humans are actually a very violent species. It's programmed into all of us. Most of the time it's quiet, latent and hidden deep down inside. Some people even deny it. But it's there all right.

Wars will always happen. You can't fight millions of years of evolution.

But I can't for the life of me figure out why she seems so negative on the idea.  It's like she is searching and searching for reasons why it won't work, rather than ever asking how it could work and make the world a better place too.
Quite a few econ journalists have reacted the same way.  Militant Keynesians, I guess, offended by something that calls into question their entire life's work and beliefs.

Here's an excellent article why many economists are acting the way they are.

http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-changing-everything/

By their old-school economic mindset, bitcoin cannot exist. Should not exist. Must not exist.

But it does.... and it's growing.

I fail to see how this bet proves bitcoin is or isn't a mirage?

I can sense CCMF coming on Crimea situation, sunday night. If tensions keeps increasing, we might go to the moon sooner than most expect..

I think the last thing on peoples minds in Crimea is buying bitcoins.
