היו בעיות לקבל את זה במכס?
מע"מ?

Well, maybe satoshi is back and he is fed up with the volatility so even though there is huge demand, he sales bitcoins around 100$ a bitcoin to keep it from climbing... He could go at it for ages...
23  Bitcoin / Legal / Supreme Court rulings on: July 01, 2013, 08:02:18 AM
hi,
i am not american and i don't know the system, so help me understand:

as i understand Liberty Reserve is under legal Attack of the FinCen.
this attack will produce many rulings that will be the base of the court's attitude towards Digital/Virtual currency.
this might go all the way to supreme court and force the supreme court to decide important decisions regarding the balance between freedom and the dangers of AML and such.
but i dare guess that the case of Liberty Reserve is not very compelling to rule towards freedom... so in a few years there will be precedents that the FinCen and the regulator will be able to use to make things harder on bitcoin?

interesting.
i think soon we can find ways to create tradable physical coins  Wink

nice title.
so what you are saying is that you don't want to be a member of the club if you can't be a millioner?
26  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: combined mining vs decentralized mining on: June 06, 2013, 01:01:02 PM
thanks Hullabaloo for clarifying and also thank you Death&Taxes for the detailed answer.
now I understand why on general the system is not in favor of bigger miners.

but i do wish to observe that THERE IS a minor statistical difference

a miner which can complete 2^32 possible nonce options before block/tx/timestamp changes is in a disadvantage because assembling a new block header takes time and is not entirely dependent on the miner thus you might have some 'dead time'.
so in a sense it is not profitable to create a machine which runs all 2^32 nonces faster then timestamp changes?
27  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: combined mining vs decentralized mining on: June 04, 2013, 08:14:36 AM
No a large miner is not more efficient than a small miner.

If you have 1% of the network hashing power in the long run you will solve 1% of the blocks.  If you have 0.1% of total network hashing power in the long run you will solve 0.1% of the blocks.

thanx for the reply, but i think i am still not convinced. i am not talking about pool vs solo mining,
there is allot of overlap in the work being done by separate miners. all of them are trying to find a hash that would fit the difficulty, they all run all the possible nonce options until they get the hash that would give them the right proof of work...
but when one machine with multiple processors does the work it divides the possible nonce options between the processors, saying: you run 00000000000000000000000000000000 till 99999999999999999999999999999999 and you run 9999999999999999999999999999999a till ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff [just illustrating, i don't know the values] , this way there is no overlap in the work being done. does that not make the machine more efficient then two machines that don't divide the work and both run 00000000000000000000000000000000 till ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff.
28  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / combined mining vs decentralized mining on: June 04, 2013, 06:48:52 AM
hi, i don't understand much about mining, but i wanted to understand this:
if one has a big farm [mining facility], can one use it more efficiently to mine more bitcoins with the same hash rate?
could the work of calculating the nonce [with same bitcoin address] be divided by the available cpu/gpu/fpga/asic and allow less overlay [meaning less chips doing the same work but actually more chips working together] is there a limit to how more efficient a combined mining facility can be over decentralized mining?

bitcoin is a protocol we share because we believe it will create a better future.

+1
i believe the market should be allowed to grow in it's own organic pace. bitcoin economy is more important then psychological adoption at this stage.
nevertheless, this is a good idea to add names to smaller fractions of bitcoin, and i am well for it.

why does the title say 'to buy bitcoins'? , it says in the article they want to invest in bitcoin related startups.

נחמד, תמיד נעים שיש מקורות מידע גם בעברית.
התרשמתי לטובה גם מכך שהמידע שם לא מגמתי.
לצערי לא הצלחתי להוריד את 'המדריך המלא' ב-pdf, אבל נראה לי שזה בגלל שאני עובד על מק
