just because i think that murder is morally acceptable, does not mean that i have to go around and kill people. because its not the optimal strategy, but why disallow it, and artificially limit ones ability to act?
Good! Then you agree we don't need government for this either  no i think that governements are what are holding people back from total chaos, where people are killing eachother. is a anarchistic world the "cost" of murder/rape/whatever would be significantly lower and people would do it more often. people need governements to functions in larger(1M+) groups. |

do people in this thread realize that regulation can be good for bitcoin?
it moves bitcoin out of this half-way-there state, where its mostly have been used to trade drugs, and make risky investment.
it have have been for about 2 years now in this state.
no matter what ever you think that regulations are bad or good: people trust in regulation, when regulation come it will finally determind what ever bitcoins are illegal or legal, and remove the uncertainty.
regulations are good for bitcoin.

Hashing takes far less work than generating keypairs, and so far the bitcoin network has done something like 270 hashes in 4.5 years.
noob response: oh, we are already half way. |

Guize! It's much simpler than you think.
"Moral," and its slightly stuffier twin, "ethical," are just words used by weak-kneed atheists.
+1! |

i think you got the point.

Taking a look at how Kant defines what is morally permissible... Kant's first formulation of the “Categorical Imperative” states that you are to “ act only in accordance with that maxim through which you can at the same time will that it become a universal law.” (G 4:421) O'Neill (1975, 1989) and Rawls (1989, 1999), among others, take this formulation in effect to summarize a decision procedure for moral reasoning, and I will follow them: First, formulate a maxim that enshrines your reason for acting as you propose. Second, recast that maxim as a universal law of nature governing all rational agents, and so as holding that all must, by natural law, act as you yourself propose to act in these circumstances. Third, consider whether your maxim is even conceivable in a world governed by this law of nature. If it is, then, fourth, ask yourself whether you would, or could, rationally will to act on your maxim in such a world. If you could, then your action is morally permissible.http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/kant-moral/So for the moral question of whether you should steal or not. 1. Your reason is that you want stuff from someone else. First step passes. 2. Should everyone steal? This is where stealing falls apart...if everyone steals then the world decends into chaos. would i live in a world where people did what they liked to do? yes. good, are we done now? |

I answered no to the first question.
Everything that is beneficial to me is morally okay. including stealing, raping, and unprovoked murder.
In most cases its just not beneficial to me as for some odd reason gets pissed at people doing stuff they consider immoral, and thereby forcing their moral views upon others.
How are you still not in jail?  is it good for me doing stuff that could get me in jail? It's not good for you to be doing stuff that will get you harassed, beat up, and shot, either, so it won't really matter what form of government, or lack thereof, you live under. With you specifically, other people will keep you in line, regardless of whether they are police, or just pissed off strangers. i think you got the point. just because i think that murder is morally acceptable, does not mean that i have to go around and kill people. because its not the optimal strategy, but why disallow it, and artificially limit ones ability to act? |

Useless countermeasure.
With such easy captha protection spammers can easily create thousands of accounts, if they want.
cool! then do it!  |

1. Spam. 2. Discourage the same question being asked over and over. 3. They hate me. 4. I am so alone  5. ?? ?? ?? ?? 6. Profit baseball-bat in face |

When one pays a so-called "fee" for a transaction, it's not really a fee at all. It's a bid! It's simply bidding for space in the next available block. So-called miners are the entities auctioning block-space to the highest bidders. I've been wondering why there has been so much confusion surrounding the whole "increasing the block-space" thing, and I think it at least partly boils down to a highly misleading nickname. They're not fees, they're bids! The way I understand it, every time a new block is discovered, an auction occurs and individual kilobytes of that block are auctioned off to the highest bidders. However, at the moment there's a problem because it seems like such a crappy opaque process with very little market transparency. This needs to be improved. Before requesting any transaction, I want to know the "going rate" and the estimated delivery time depending on how much i BID. Agree? Disagree? Please discuss.  Technically: I agree. Otherwise: I disagree, because if you look at the satoshi client as a whole, much of the terminology is based on how the real world used to think about money: Wallet instead of keychain Address instead of publickey(hash) and therefor also fee instead of "bids that the miners accept to get your transactions into the magical blockchain-voodoo stuff *techbabble continues*". I think that its easier to get people to use bitcoin, because the terminology is similar to what people are used to when they talk about cash. maybe its a bit off to call it fees, but it greatly eases the _basic_ understanding of whats its doing. |

Interesting question:
What will they do with this "illegal" currency that they are now in possession of?
|

So the question is if that sha256 is a bijective map between the set of numbers under 2^256 to itself?
i don't know, but my guess would be that its not.

Spam is correct, but theres also another apect to it: Roughly the twenty first questions an average newcomer will ask have allready been answered, several hundred times at worst. For example try to find out how many posts about wallet collision and it's propabilities have been posted on these forums [edit] The proper use of those four hours is to read the forums. tl;rd version: SPAM! either advertisement SPAM, or noobish question SPAM. the latter is worst. (..and the "why noob jail?" question have already been answered lat least 1000 times.) |

its all the data above, but packed in a binary format.
You mean apostrophes, blanks, EOLs, trailing zeroes and long variable names are actualy part of transaction? If that is true, it is horrible deal. do you have a problem reading, sir? go educate yourself: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Protocol_specification |
