Good luck finding bitcoins at 15€ when their price is 17.4...

No one advocating Deepbit? I admit I haven't done much research for choosing pool, but why not Deepbit?
Because it has high fees. Avoid deepbit. Just wondering, besides all the other factors (such as payout types), would it not be more advisable to join the pool with the largest collective hash rate?
No. Why?

Tons of nice suggestions.
I'll add mine: if they want to try bitcoin do not tell them to use the qt client. Otherwise they will have to face a software wich takes 3 days to download almost 6GB of stuff with a fail interface. Give the Multibit, or electrum or blockchain.info

i tried for hours and hours and it just seems to take forever to get up to speed, thank god you don't have to do this every time
Or use multibit.

Because it would be wasted transistors for 99.99% of users, wich would only slow down the card
|
|
|
The forum is separated from the website because otherwise it would look like this is "the official bitcoin forum"
|
|

because I could not bear watch them go into debt from your stupidity He didn't took anyone's money, how is that possible? That's an interesting question. Wich is why i do not consider him a scammer.

I think mintchip has a chance. But there is no real competition at the moment.
But mintchip isn't a cryptocurrency, it is just a canada digital fiat

It is a centralized thing, and it requires trust. You must trust that the "joule dollar" you have is really backed by a joule. The instant the "private firm" disappear, you are left with a piece of paper, worthless.
Bitcoin is totally different, it is meaningless to compare bitcoin with this "joule dollar". When you own 1 bitcoin, you own it, you don't have to trust anyone, it is like having a ingot of gold, it is your.

Nah, the dollar has been hacked, everyone, sell sell sell, it is not safe!!! (it is like how the press keep saying that bitcoin was hacked when in real it was only an exchange getting hacked )

To start there is no "BTC account". So "hacking" the wallet is meaningless, there are just private keys, you already know them, since they are your keys.
What stop him to send more transactions with this coin? Oh, nothing. He can send that coin to other addresses. But if you wait for at least 1 confirmation, then ONLY ONE of these transactions will be confirmed. The others will be happily rejected. So, he send you a coin and instantly make another transaction to send that coin to another address. The net receive the transactions and accept only the first one. A miner will find a block and confirm the transactions by putting them in the block, he will of course put only 1 transaction in the block. So, the instant 1 confirmation happen, you can be sure if you received the coin (and then it is your forever) or not.

It works.
And, great article!

I think they don't want something like bitcoin, they want something wich can be printed at will

or even just to see that the btc is there Nonono. You can see how many btc there are by using the PUBLIC address! Yes, there is a command to have the qt client tell you the keys, but i don't know it. As for ubuntu, i don't know. Probably not

so the fact that it's hard to exchange BTC for fiat... doesn't that hamper BTC's usefulness? Converting btc with fiat is hard, that's true and is exactly why we need BTC, because it will finally allow us to buy something in an easy way. If buying or selling BTC was easy, then well, we would not even need it!

With qt client you have to download all the blocks, or, at least, get to the block where the transaction happened (wich means, today)
To check the transaction on blockchain.info you can just put the public address, no need to use the private key.
Of course you will have to get the private key in the blockchain.info wallet if you want to use it to move the coins right now.

And does this poll do anything positive for those who have yet to choose a bitcoin client? Would a solid majority vote be a reliable endorsement for that particular client?
No. Especially when in this subforum most people know only the qt client.
