201  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: NO TX FEE PAID <--- HALP PLZ on: January 13, 2014, 01:03:47 AM
Depends on priority. Which in turn depends on number, amount and age of inputs. (Read how exactly here or here).

1) May get confirmed in next block.
2) May get confirmed in a while (2h to a week).
3) May never get confirmed.

You can try to send the same funds again with a fee included, rendering the previous tx a double spend. Don't think that's possible on Blockchain though.

Fungibility. Don't mess with it.
203  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How much bigger can Bitcoin get? on: January 12, 2014, 01:57:14 PM
There is a chance the USD will drop in value 10-fold or more, which could cause BTC/USD to go up maybe squared that.

Awesome to see you go ahead with this.

You can pay less fees on your tx btw, a fifth of that is enough, assuming you don't do this intentionally.

If you have access to free electricity mining can be very profitable. I don't advocate stealing electricity, abusing your uni or work campus or violating fair use policies on rentals, but that's the way it is.

207  Economy / Economics / Re: 2014 Poll: How many bitcoins do you own? on: January 10, 2014, 06:58:55 PM
Awesome poll options when 90% of users are 0-10 and another 9% are 11-100.


Lets see how many 1m+ we can get  Grin
208  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Move Bitcoin's radix point 3 steps to the right to improve BTC acceptance on: January 10, 2014, 03:20:19 PM
I don't think moving the radix will work.

More realistically create a good name for mBTC and start using that as the primary unit of reference.

I think the 6 minute wait is lifted after some level of activity.

Different methods are available, yes



Also



The site is pretty solid.

211  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoins are never in the wallet... on: January 10, 2014, 12:40:12 PM
There are only unspent outputs.
212  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Anti-Bitcoin propaganda in upcoming video game on: January 10, 2014, 04:50:10 AM
I guess just embrace the fact that crypto is making it into collective consciousness. Anti-BTC propaganda.. you should write headlines for the sun.

Airplanes were magical before governments started using them to cluster bomb children.
I lol'ed

Such lines. Very prediction.

True, if I gave you the correct number of first bits and I didn't reverse the sequence of characters in one of the email addresses etc. The permutations of this combination are endless. It's easy to make this your own. The best part is you don't need to rely on anyone or any program and always have your key with you.
In the end you are not getting around storing the necessary bits of entropy, although smart methods may make it seem like less to memorize.
215  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: offline bitcoins + NFC = the end of era of current financial system (?) on: January 09, 2014, 05:13:54 PM
Good. No more dirty bills being passed along while not giving up anonymity like using a card.
216  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How much in % of your savings are in BTC? on: January 09, 2014, 12:45:36 AM
Started at 1%, is at 6% now. Think that's a comfortable spot for me. At 10% I'll start selling.
217  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin's 10000 TH network is extremely vulnerable on: January 08, 2014, 08:51:40 PM
Miners of *any* cryptocurrency would have vested interest in keeping bitcoin alive as it is the posterchild of crypto currency and an attack on bitcoin would cause confidence in all cryptocurrencies to take a HUGE hit, so much in the same way that mining pools and ASIC providers currently limit themselves from taking over too much of the network, the hashing power currently being used to mine alts would flock to bitcoin to try to balance things out.

I couldn't have guessed you meant that Cheesy

It's a fair point, but I don't think the total alt-hashrate is that significant? If there was an attack on BTC of this kind Im sure it wouldn't be 1) obvious and  2) gradual and 3) close in terms of hashrate.

1) If I'm trying to become the 50%+ hast rate owner, I do so by slowly, by adding nodes legitimately. I may buy a mining pool or two, or just gain access to them. Then just wait for the right moment to change the protocol I use.

2) Once I have enough hast rate, I'm not releasing a bit day by day, so people notice empty blocks or a growing orphaned chain that someone keeps building. I suddenly change from normal mining to destructive mining.

3) I won't attack with 51%. I will attack with 55% or 60%, so even if everyone quickly goes to max hash by mining on CPU and switches from alts, I still keep over 50%.

And what is the fear exactly?  That big banks will spend a few tens or hundreds of millions of dollars so they can doublespend on Satoshi Dice?
they make a chain which includes no tx. they will have the longest chain, so your block which has tx in it doesn't get into the chain.
Besides, maybe the mining pools could get together very quickly to balance out the network.
you don't seem to understand the meaning of 51%

market cap is just a measure. it bears no relation to any real life value. saying you can attack a 10 billion market cap with a 10 million investment compares two unrelated values; both are in USD but they are still not comparable. bitcoin has a market cap of 10b, but that does not mean that it is worth 10b.
