Because as I said in my post, "if you have a good reputation, your fee is reduced, and also you occasionally get paid by the system for making such good posts (using the fees received by the system). "

So even though there is a tiny fee, you could potentially make money if you post high quality posts. I have seen a lot of people will spend their time online doing these type of things, like promotional twitting, or making blog posts, for pennies in pay. This will be something similar.

High quality posts attract more readers/participants, vast majority of people are consumers of high quality posts, so they might be willing to pay a fee to read some posts, it's pretty common for forum posts to have a "forum currency" attached to it, and to view the post, you have to buy it (I have bought and sold these forum currencies previously, for real money). Also many forums, like private trackers, will charge a fee to even register for their forum. This decentralized forum will be perfect for such purpose, it'll avoid any legal enforcement concern over hosting an illegal private tracker forum etc...

I think the fee can be reputation based. It start out very tiny, something like 100 satoshi per post, anyone can afford to make a lot of posts. BUT the quality of your posts (determined by upvote/downvotes) will affect your "reputation", if you have a bad reputation, then the system raises your fee to much higher. Also if you have a good reputation, your fee is reduced, and also you occasionally get paid by the system for making such good posts (using the fees received by the system).

Also I believe there needs to be a registration fee plus annual fee for an account on the system, to prevent spamming accounts. (basically if you don't pay a tiny annual fee, your account is disabled for posting).

So the system will hopefully go into a positive cycle. All these high quality posts will attract people to join the system and pay the fee.

It should also be easy to make "light web clients", so it can function as a regular web forum. The difference is anyone can host it at any domain, and everyone will still be on the same forum.

All fees need to be very tiny like 100 satoshi, but add up if you spam or troll.

Is there any altcoin that is building a decentralized discussion forum? something like reddit, but decentralized.

He could have made the same amount of money if he just kept running the site honestly for the next 20 years. I guess fast money is too tempting, and he thought he could get away with it.

use blockchain.info wallet, they let you set a fee of 0

You can get away with it only if your coins are old, because the main purpose of the fee is to defeat spam. So if you rarely move your coins, you are good.

oh yes, 144 accounts own 76% of all nxt, that sounds much better? and I'm sure you could guarantee all these accounts are all unique, surely it's not possible for one person to own multiple accounts in nxt?

Not really, in BTC early days, no one knew cryptocurrency would work.

Also, NXT distribution is beyond insane, even today, 15 people hold 80% of all NXT. Bitcoin distribution today is much more fair.

2014年6月30日入侵Linode账号，然后修改了密码，你们竟然没发觉？你们自己进去不自己的账号，难道感觉不奇怪？

At the moment of the hack, it was a hot wallet. They brought their cold wallet online, to refill another hot wallet, so both were hot wallets at the time. The hacker was patiently waiting for them to do this, because he had already compromised their system, and just waiting for BTER to bring their cold wallet online for funding the hot wallet.

Nice, but I need a web based script instead, preferably in PHP. Anyone have such a script?

The exchanges can easily change the rule to wait for number of confirmations according to the value transferred. For 1000 BTC, they can require 15 confirmations for example. And for 10000 BTC, maybe 30 confirmation

Then you only mine in winter? good luck with ROI on your hardware.

That's because Nubits pay anonymous people to run trading bots to provide fake volume and liquidity, also nubits require external exchanges to even work.

BitUSD does not need trading bots, and also it trades on a decentralized internal exchange, in addition to external exchanges.

All of these doesn't matter as long as Bitcoin has "Proof of Waste" mining, price can only go down without new money inflow.

No it actually helps their profit to include very few transactions, since they get less orphaned blocks this way. For example, Discus Fish pool used to only include no more than 42kb worth of transactions in every block they mine. Then the Bitcoin community threatened with action, and Discus fish bowed to the community pressure, and now includes more transactions.

Or just switch to a Proof of Stake system, where no such non-sense exists.

Nubits is a train wreck waiting to happen.

Again, if my city's subway system is bad, I don't go ahead and build a new subway system in the city. There's a vast amount of existing supporting infrastructure, it's not simple as "go build your own". Unless you could build your own city subway.

No, it needs to be a Bitcoin stake weighted vote, since the "No" votes are probably mostly PoW miners who hold no Bitcoins.

It could be implemented as a feature in the protocol, ie. "vote with your Bitcoin". All the exchanges can provide api access for easy voting, or just install qt client and vote with it.

Good job missing the point.

GHash had 51% yes?
Ghash is mostly cloud mining yes?

It has already happened in the past, there's absolutely nothing to stop it from happening again in the future. PoW is centralized and insecure, with the additional drawback of causing Bitcoin value loss and energy+hardware waste.
