 Normal scale  Log scale This shows how many connected nodes there are to Bitcoin since December. The first date displayed is December 18, 2010, and the last date displayed here is July 12, 2011. I used the data from http://dump.bitcoin.it/misc, and counted the number of occurrences for Status:"Up" for each day. As you can see, Bitcoin is not dying. To clarify the above quote, a node is someone running the Bitcoin client. |

I'm waiting for it to bottom at $0.10 so that I can buy 50k Bitcoins.

I don't think it is necessary for Bitcoin to be trademarked. Just my 2 cents.

I keep my entire library on shuffle, it's a lot of random stuff.

Shouldn't the thread title be changed, at least until we have more than a suspicion ?
I already changed it once per request here, and I'm not a moderator, I don't feel like changing things back and forth. I'm not here to work.' edit: fine |

Just to stop all the FUD spreading. Namecoins are not unlimited supply, in fact they are in MORE limited supply than bitcoins.
They have the same 21 million coin issuance algorithm AND some coins are spent out of existence (63,000) in the early days to prevent name squatting and hoarding by early adopters.
tl;dr Namecoins are more scarce than bitcoins.
Indeed. pblock->vtx[0].vout[0].nValue = GetBlockValue(pindexPrev->nHeight+1, nFees); line 1092 : int64 GetBlockValue(int nHeight, int64 nFees)
{
int64 nSubsidy = 50 * COIN;
// Subsidy is cut in half every 4 years
nSubsidy >>= (nHeight / 210000);
return nSubsidy + nFees;
}

I know namecoins are only "meant" for registering domain names... but what if people start to use them like bitcoins? Or is that impossible since there is an unlimited supply of namecoins? iirc
Who says they're meant only for registering domain names? There's even a poker site to gamble them. Namecoin is everything Bitcoin is, but with additional features. Even if those features never take off it's still at least equal to Bitcoin. |

Question: what would happen if Tycho temporarily turned the entirety of Deepbit to the Namecoin blockchain (for 20 minutes, say)
There could be a problem. The issue is that difficulty would go up, but once difficulty goes up too much, it never comes back down. Because it's not worth it to mine, and difficulty only resets after ~2000 blocks. It might be better if the difficulty were to adjust every N days or M blocks whichever comes first, but that's not the case now (with BTC or namecoin). I haven't think about that problem before. A supercomputer could slow the bitcoin chain by mining a lot one week and then stop doing it. Your solution should work though. Are developers aware of this? Difficulty can increase 4x at most per 2016 blocks. This is in the code. |

Someone should start correlating the Bitcoin hash rate to his post count.

It's the Moore's law of Bitcoin. I don't think price matters, nothing will stop this law.

What's your uptime? I've wasted Total time logged in: 3 days, 13 hours and 41 minutes. of my life here. Let's see. Total time logged in: 9 days, 21 hours and 9 minutes. And I joined June 2nd or June 3rd. I have no life.  |

I keep my client connected all the time with a wallet that has 0 coins. This way if I put my true wallet on it, I don't have to wait for the block chain to download. Also there is no reason to turn it off.

Be easy on him though. He didn't make the thread entitled "My account got hacked, 20k BTC stolen".

My guess is that it ran out of hdd space, but the file is only 30kb. my backup is 120kb, but i suspect its out of date, i was only doing weekly backups. it doesnt load anything on my 3 machines when i try to use it.
How did your computer run out of space? Typical hard drives are hundreds of gigabytes. |
