What's the reason for raiding his private space? They're looking for more bitcoins to sell?
Even if he's Satoshi (Which I highly doubt), they have no right to invade into his house. He did nothing wrong.
Related to tax evasion and fraud with public granted funds to his businesses, I read somewhere. the timming after he has had a very public piece published is highly embaressing he should sue in my opinion, I don't think the police spends the night looking at bitcoin related articles, this operation had to be scheduled at least a few days ago. And they may had found what they were looking for, I assume, evidence of a crime... |

Probably not, but at least this guy is involved with bitcoin, like a lot, Dorian Nakamoto doesn't even knew what bitcoin was.

Is he selling the "How to survive the incoming economic collapse" formula?
I know he is big on gold and has a pretty good system based on that...

Blockstream is doing a great work in trying to scale Bitcoin to global levels without the tradeoff of big blocks that would make Bitcoin extremely centralized as the nodes wouldn't be able to ran by everyday people. Scum are the ones that want big blocks so Bitcoin becomes controlled by Google and other datacenters.
“At first, most users would run network nodes, but as the network grows beyond a certain point, it would be left more and more to specialists with server farms of specialized hardware.” http://satoshi.nakamotoinstitute.org/emails/cryptography/2/The design outlines a lightweight client that does not need the full block chain. In the design PDF it's called Simplified Payment Verification. The lightweight client can send and receive transactions, it just can't generate blocks. It does not need to trust a node to verify payments, it can still verify them itself.
The lightweight client is not implemented yet, but the plan is to implement it when it's needed. For now, everyone just runs a full network node.
I anticipate there will never be more than 100K nodes, probably less. It will reach an equilibrium where it's not worth it for more nodes to join in. The rest will be lightweight clients, which could be millions.
At equilibrium size, many nodes will be server farms with one or two network nodes that feed the rest of the farm over a LAN. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=286.msg2947#msg2947The current system where every user is a network node is not the intended configuration for large scale. That would be like every Usenet user runs their own NNTP server. The design supports letting users just be users. The more burden it is to run a node, the fewer nodes there will be. Those few nodes will be big server farms. The rest will be client nodes that only do transactions and don't generate. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=532.msg6306#msg6306 |

With blockchain.info you have the private keys, mtgox was the one with the private keys.
Blockchain.info you own the coins, with mtgox it was mtgox who owned the coins, cryptographically speaking...
Yes, its a better system for users because of this. Of course you are still needing to trust the functionality of the website and that it has close to 100% uptime. Correct, assuming Blockchain.info claims are true. If you have your keys you don't need 100% uptime, has you'll be able to move your coins if blockchain.info isn't available. |

I don't think that's a good audience to inform about bitcoin, probably a waste of time and energy.

BIP 101 only becomes active if broadly accepted by the Bitcoin community, 75% or more...
So I guess they are ok with it.

Não é criar medo é simplesmente a constatação da realidade, neste momento existem 7.5 mb de transacções por confirmar, é fácil fazer as contas.
Se reparares o tamanho médio dos blocos nunca poderá ser 1 mb, alguns blocos só incluem 1 ou duas transacções...

From start of Virtapay i was a member, but after the moment they changed to Virtacoin, i never heard anything evermore nor did they ever write my old account over to Virtacoin. Until now whatever i ask or whomever i write to, i never get an answer about what happened to my old account income, which imho implicates they deliberately took what was mine and left me standing outside in the cold. So much for honesty in the virtual money reality.  You balance was converted int virtacoins, you'll find a private key in your virtapay account with your coins, you'll need to import the private key into a wallet in order to spend the balance. |

i get frustrated with this myself but there is obviously a problem somewhere if you are only sending the minimum fee then that might be the issue and also check in the settings of what ever software you are using sometimes there fees are lower than the network fee. you know that transactions are actually very fact its the confirmations that are sometimes slow, if you can trust the other party then you are sorted already....
all the best

Even if everyone paid 1 BTC/kb the problem is still there, not enough room for transactions. I don't think bitcoin is in a position to start restricting it's use, adoption isn't nearly enough to this kind of thing, and it's certainly damaging adoption. |

There's also BTCJam.com, it seems risky, if people default I don't think there's anything you can do. And also https://loanbase.com/ |

Isn't Satoshi Dice responsible for like 50% of all time miner's fees?
Using bitcoin for gambling is not spam, using bitcoin is actually a good thing and it's what makes bitcoin valuable.
The network is congested and there seems to be no way to get it fixed, transactions take a lot of time or they're expensive, two major bitcoin's sales pitch no longer exist.

Bitcoin cannot even handle these transactions?  or the blockchain.info If this, then most of the transactions might gets struck not only the OP's transaction. IMO, OP might have some other problem. Bitcoin network can't handle current transaction volume. You can check stats in other websites: https://www.blocktrail.com/BTChttps://blockr.io/charts |

Poker sites and betting sites never had a problem with that.
I know a lot of people who don't know shit about computers and they are registered in several poker and betting sites, so it must be really simple.
The problem with adoption is bitcoin doesn't bring any benefit to average people, it's much more complex and slower than other payment methods.

Just like last time, nothing special will happen.
There's always much speculation when halvings happen but the reality is nothing special happens.
