It would take 36 years to run on the slow C# crappy implementation of scrypt that I have bundled with my app. Simply feeding the same input to a more efficient implementation should chop this figure down by orders of magnitude.
C# generates this code for the inner loop: x4 ^= (x0 << 7) | (x12 >> (32 - 7)); 000002bc mov eax,dword ptr [ebp-28h] 000002bf shl eax,7 000002c2 mov edx,dword ptr [ebp-58h] 000002c5 shr edx,19h 000002c8 or eax,edx 000002ca xor dword ptr [ebp-38h],eax I don't think C++ compiler would do any better |

Since when are human reactions and game theory random?
They are based off of small set of initial conditions and a similar set of possible reacting conditions. Far from random there are like what 5 starting positions and 5 possible ending positions(Same, better, much better, worse, much worse)? It is the very definition of NOT random. It's exactly 25 possible iterations of beginning and ending conditions.
I'm correlating to a specific, similar event from approximately last year to a specific similar event from approximately this coming year. It's not random, it's SIMILAR.
The fallacy here is that there are numerous other CombustibleLemons who follow the same naive logic. Then there are CombustibleOranges who try to predict what CombustibleLemons will be doing. Then there are supercomputers which try to outsmart both oranges and lemons. Asymptotically, it is completely unpredictable mess = random. |

What a pile of nonsense, typical european waffle. Tributes can be paid in many ways besides money - in goats, in military service, in free labor (as in Dmitry's motherland) etc

Seriously, a loan for $10? Or $40?
Isn't it a price of a dose? |

The CEO of a well known company:
1) Buys a shit load of bitcoin.
2) Announces plans to accept bitcoin payments (or something similar). Bitcoin price subsequently rises (hype).
3) Sells a shit load of bitcoin.
4) Gets fired 5) goes to jail |

Honestly, for me, the "nail in the coffin" against DeepBit was about the time SatoshiDice started up
No, the nail was 50btc.com pool and its killer feature: auto top-up your mobile phone account with earned coins. |

I got the answer. Mining gives free bitcoins. And russians love "халява" (freebie).

Sorry 21GB is the largest possible for Dropbox without having to pay them monthly.
even with .edu addresses? |

If we know this is the scammer's address, can't we just all use a version of a client that rejects every transaction that spends btc from this address?

what category the "go .... yourself" argument belongs to?

The prices remain the same even the bitcoin price is decreasing. Because of the speculative trends I think the best price scheme will be in us dollars converted to btc.
Хай! У меня есть 19ГБ аккаунт на гмаейле (купил за биткоины  ), можно его расширить в 2 раза? |

a) random fluctuation (most probable)
b) someone developed ASICs three months before BFL and mining for themselves
c) someone is attempting 51% attack to destroy bitcoin

Me thinks recent rise from 5 to 15 was due to people buying to invest in pirate 7%/week scheme; now it's going back to 5, and probably could dip into 1-2 range because pirate must sell his earnings (which is 500k bitcoins)

but in a much less efficient manner, FED do not need to hash to generate coin anyway
The FED today wastes billions of dollars a year in resources maintaining their system. Bitcoin is orders of magnitude more efficient. I really should not have to continue pointing this out. FED wastes billions of dollars a year maintaining their system, but it is only a small % of USD in circulation. Bitcoin, to be secure, requires to spend 51% of the value of all Bitcoins in circulation on infrastructure. |

(in 1990, millions of kids (eg, ~10yr olds) were using the internet )
In 1990 internet was Gopher, Compuserve and BBS. First web browser - 1993. Millions of kids - 1997. |

The real question is - has pirate already cashed out or is 500k dump about to unleash on the exchange?
|
|
|
|

Don't be delirious, pirate will not return your coins, instead he will sell those 500K coins, which will bring the exchange rate to 0.15-0.20 range, according to MtGox depth table.
