It appears to be rebroadcasted again. Even if you don't open the client but the client behaviour is to rebroadcast after the transaction falls out of the mempool, it will still automatically broadcast. In this case, even though no node is relaying it right now due to its low fee ( https://blockchain.info/inv/f24ff339fc651b0b28cdfc0e67bb4c2f91b46cbd39935ff4d70c95bb5c33b0e9) the transaction appeared to have been stored in Blockchain.info's mempool again. The only way now is to either doublespend it or just wait for it to confirm, it will confirm eventually but it takes a long time. Here's a question that's not too far off-topic: what if you suggest an amount *greater than* the 0.0001 or so BTC that's recommended? Does it mean instead of waiting say 1 hour you would wait a lot less, if your reward for confirm is greater? And how much faster would the confirm be? Double the amount means half the time to confirm? Or I guess it varies on the network congestion at any give time? |

Nice but I don't believe it. The definition of "Ebola free" is the lack of a reported Ebola case for three weeks. But I bet some people are not reporting their illness (or it would not surprise me). |

Any use of Bitcoin is good for Bitcoin, because transcation volume increases. Bitcoin is just neutral technology without political strings attached. So there is no moral justification to blame Bitcoin for anything "illegal" happening.
Also Bitcoin works on a global scale across various jurisdictions. So even if some people try to blame Bitcoin for illegal activities, their ability to damage Bitcoin is very limited.
True, I believe. But when I asked some mild-mannered family members in the USA about Bitcoin, much to my surprise they were very harsh in their judgement and thought it should be banned. Normally they are indifferent about things. Why? I think it's because Bitcoin has a 'dark' image with dark markets. If you can buy illegal weapons and drugs with it, it must be bad say many (see also here: http://www.forbes.com/pictures/edej45fflfd/murder-3/). It would not shock me if a few years from now either BTC goes mainstream, or, it is banned in the USA, the same way the Chinese seem to be trying to ban it or regulate it. |

We are still looking for more developers to join help build the P2P network.
I am curious if you have tried advertising in some of the other forums for developers (sourceforge.net, etc)? I'm not sure this forum gets volume or would be responsive to your challenge as largely people here are your competition. Second, though I've played around with a simple peer-to-peer network using C#, I would not be the person you're looking for, as it seems to me peer-to-peer networks are programmed by specialists. What is a typical person in this field that you are interested in? What language do they use, and how many years of experience? Just for my own curiosity. |

Here's a private key with 0.00001 BTC on it, no fee required to import it, but also not enough money to send it anywhere.
addr: 19bjqNiSWxMuCcbzcszS37BJfNMKLA7vh1
priv: L3Upbvtaij1xMmG2iXTokSgguAPy3c4fnR81xFcUKc2263hapovb
It seems to have been cleared out as soon as you posted it.  Be very careful in dealing things like this. Why be careful? I speculate here (I am a BTC newbie): maybe if you import a private key, then add money to the same private key, the first person who sent you the private key can then "spend" your BTC money before you do? I am not saying that's what is happening here, I'm just trying to figure out why one should be careful. |

bitcointalk.org forum uses the Simple Machines Forum software. Does SMF support a +1 button so that if you agree with a poster, you can click this button and it adds to the total? That way you don't have to reply "Right on" or something similar to indicate your approval of an opinion. Maybe even a -1 button would be nice.

Please examine the two links below from October 2014 and then take the poll: are dark markets good or bad for BTC? Note these markets have actually grown in the last year. I say they are good for bitcoin (and I don't buy from these markets, but I do use BTC for commercial goods and services). TonyT [1] http://www.coindesk.com/ross-ulbricht-hero-villain/ - A spokesperson from the Bitcoin Foundation cited the prompt increase in the price of bitcoin following the closure of Silk Road as a signal that the bitcoin community regarded the site as a “liability” [2] http://www.coindesk.com/dark-markets-grow-bigger-bolder-year-since-silk-road-bust/ - According to academics and researchers studying dark web markets – which transact almost exclusively in bitcoin – listings for illicit goods and services have actually grown in the aftermath of the Silk Road bust. The rising popularity of such markets among drug vendors and customers means that illicit trade is set to expand even more, one researcher believes. |

You just have to wait. It'll get confirmed in due time. Always best to include a fee to keep things moving along.
What happens if a node continuously pumps dust into the blockchain? Like a server farm of 100s of PCs that do nothing but pump dust into the BTC blockchain, in an attempt to cripple it like a DOS attack? Does that node get somehow cut off? |

Wait, get back here, for I got here late for the party. I, too, have a scam in mind that would easily net ten grand per shot, and I'll sell it to you for only five grand, and if it doesn't work as outlined, then I'll double your money back.
The beauty of my scam is that it involves nothing technical, for only a bitcoin (even any alt would work) wallet address is needed. I'll give you a hint: It involves a service for hire, one that's not delivered after payment is paid, and the person paying for said service would be a foul to turn you in even if they knew who you are, which they wouldn't. Hint number two: A many persons going through a divorce may consider such a service, same true for somebody close to somebody who was done wrong by some other. No more hints, for I'm calling it a night because I'm dead tired.
A hitman for hire through Bitcoin? Only the very gullible would fall for such a thing, but then again the reason you get some many scam emails from Nigeria is that once in a million people there are some very gullible. |

To the economists - Can we sustain in a deflationary economy?
So when I lend money, what kind of interest should I get since I know after some time any it is gonna depreciate? Would that give rise to a scenario where I'm asked to pay interest for giving loans?
Already, in Europe, the EU member country central banks have to give interest every time they loan money to the central EU bank, so your last sentence is already true in Europe with central banks. |

He conveys a simple message, sorry if you're simple mind cannot comprehend the message. I don't think you picked on his subtle sarcasm, you SCAMMER.
Hey, there's an "Ignore" link next to each poster... I think I'll use it now for the first time! :-) |

Your man Geoffrey West below. He did discuss a good rule though, the 15% rule, for every doubling of a city's population. TonyT "Now these are my comrades in arms. This work has been done with an extraordinary group of people, and they've done all the work, and I'm the great bullshitter that tries to bring it all together. " - Geoffrey West in his TED talk on cities. |

This bighearted feller gave me a free office 2013 professional key when I asked him if I could pay through paypal. Since paypal has caused him trouble with his account there, he gave it to me free  +1 for this guy! -1 from the evil Microsoft shareholders though! LOL. It's all good, since you will use the free Office 2013 to write up good stuff that will benefit the world. BTW I thought Office 2013 requires annual subscription, but I could be wrong. The last "good" Office I know of was 2007, which never needed confirmation once it was successfully installed. |

Posting a private key is like giving the ability to spend the money away to anybody. Addresses should not be reused anyway, so it doesn't matter as long as you know what you are doing.
I did not follow what you said since I'm just a noob. Put your creative mind to it: is there any way we can use such "dust" to confuse the blockchain and/or double spend? If so, it's a security breach that the BTC community must be made aware of! |

The real question though, is why on earth would you even consider, jokingly or not, trying to do something that would scam people out of their money?
Maybe I'm a white hat scammer? Somebody who calls out potential scams so that you don't fall into them? :-) I doubt it, I think your a pretend white hat scammer that wants attention to see if your scam is legit or not to persue the opportunity to scam people because you dont know the technology well enough to assess yourself... well you already got your answer Dang it! I've been outed then... I'm outta here. |

It's sad because I thought Bitstamp was originally one of the trustworthy ones, but it looks like the U.S has finally caught up with them and started making demands.
BitStamp were great, till last year and their disgusting KYC/AML. Since then I have not used them. You do realize that KYC (Know Your Customer, where a bank will --secretly if it wants--report you to the Feds in Detroit if they suspect you may be laundering money) does not have to be disclosed to the customer by the bank? Meaning if it wants to, a bank can make a secret report about you to the Feds? (I have read the regulations) So BitStamp did you a favor by telling you up front they were going to comply with KYC, giving you time to withdraw. In fact in the real world several times I realized my bank was asking me questions--at a different branch where I normally bank--for KYC purposes, without of course telling me why. It's similar to the reason the airport security guard sometimes engages you in light-hearted "banter": they are not trying to be friendly or waste your time, but are trying to see if your responses sound normal or if you seem nervous. |

Activity limit increases by 14 every two weeks. My current activity limit is 168. I have been active for around 24 weeks already. You seem to be confused about the activity. Activity can only be increased if you are active for 2 weeks. My post count is currently 1126, a few months ago I posted around 14 per day and stopped recently (1 month ago).
I see. So activity would increase by 14 if you posted every day for two weeks? OK. And indeed i confused post count with activity. Let me see if I can find my post count. Name: TonyT Posts: 129 Activity: 124 Position: Full Member Wow, I have not posted as much as I thought, "only" 129 posts! Good, good, like an SSD drive with read/writes, I still have more posts to go before somebody deems my posts excessive and bans me? ;-( BTW, I think I know why excessive posts is considered bad by some people: apparently people use this forum for 'business related' bitcoin transactions, and the theory is that if you are a hero or legendary member, you are considered by newbies as 'trustworthy' (I don't think smart newbies would make that conclusion, but that's another point). So the moderators don't want somebody just posting a lot to get a high Activity / Posts count. |
