What would happen?
Speculators would jump in and soon favours would be traded for BTC. Increasing the actual costs of favours to a amount where there couldn't be used for there once intended purpose anymore. Soon after that [Enter Very Nice Guy] comes along and crashes the price buy selling Millions of favours. |

Sollte so laufen.
Wenn sich noch 2 Freiwillige finden können wir ja mal versuchen 0.1 USD oder so im Kreis zu schicken, ob sich das dann auch wieder auflöst.

Soweit ich das verstehe (kann da durchaus falsch liegen) ist Der Zweck der XRP, das System vor Spam zu schützten, damit es nicht überlastet wird.
So muss man 200 XRP haben um einen Account zu öffnen und 50 um jemanden Vertrauen zu geben.
Jeder Transaktion kostet dann ein paar mXRP.
Soll also einfach verhindern, dass jemand 1000de Accounts öffnet untereinander verlinkt und wild IOUs rumschickt.
Falls ich das falsch verstanden habe korrigiert mich.

Habe 40k XRP in 0.8 Bitcoins umgesetzt, erschien mir die logischere Entscheidung.
Wärst du so nett zu beschreiben, wie genau du das angestellt hast?  Aber echt. Ist echt faszinierend, dass Leute gleich anfangen diese XRPs zu kaufen. Sinn und Zweck von den Dingern schön missverstanden. |

If you understood markets regulated strictly by consumption i.e. free markets you'd know that if there is no barrier to entry ... and there are huge profits to be had it is impossible to arrive at a monopoly service provider
I'd love to learn. How about an example? Basically everything almost everyone can do. Opening a bar / cafe / restaurant / online shop. No monopolies there. Some big players (MC Donalds, Starbucks, Amazon etc.) yes. But only because they are more efficient (cheaper). As soon as they try to exploit this position to increase their profits, new big players would step in. And you can see this companies are really trying hard to build artificial barriers to make competition harder, but haven't succeeded yet. An example where there is some success with artificial Barriers are ERP systems for companies, though. Basically it would be possible for a decent programmer with some business skills to make such a program and the possible profits are enormous, but the big players (Microsoft, SAP, etc.) are working together to make their products more compatible across their platforms to make new competition harder. Well with mining there is no better, all miner deliver the same quality so a monopoly is out of the question. And if more profits are to be had in mining more miners, small and big will eventually come online.
If we are to regress to a similar example, Apple is well known for having the most flexible, adaptive, highest capacity and most cost efficient smartphone manufacturing capabilities. For the most part, much of this ability is attributed thanks to simply them being the biggest (now second biggest) player in the market. No factories would do the things they do for other smartphone manufacturers like they do for Apple, because everybody wants to be part of Apple's business. The only player able to dethrone Apple happens to be another huge manufacturer with years of experience and having in advance all the in-house capabilities to run such an operation (Samsung). No other competitor ever managed to just "come online". You and I cannot make smartphones - we won't even cover the initial capital investment because everyone is buying Apple and Samsung. Apple has no production (to speak of) of its own. They are basically only doing design (and I mean design not development) and software (and in some rage the end manufacturing). Everything else is done by EMS providers. And no one is doing business with apple because he wants to be part of Apple's business. They are doing it because there is money to be made. Also, the entry barrier to make phones is not very high. Apple hat a bit of a innovator advantage in this sector, but this is already crumbling. The Hardware for a smartphone is not high tech anymore and Android as OS takes away the software advantage. The rest that remains are artificial barriers (I-Tunes, App Store, Coolness Factor, Patent-Bullsh***). But these can be very efficient. |

Your problem is your lack of knowledge in economics. If you understood markets regulated strictly by consumption i.e. free markets you'd know that if there is no barrier to entry (and there isn't one in Bitcoin, all you need is a capital investment to be a miner, no laws or regulations that would stop anyone to become a miner) and there are huge profits to be had it is impossible to arrive at a monopoly service provider unless that service provider does the job better and cheaper than anyone else. Well with mining there is no better, all miner deliver the same quality so a monopoly is out of the question. And if more profits are to be had in mining more miners, small and big will eventually come online.
So throwing money at the problem of security is precisely what you want to do in this situation if your goal is more miners more decentralized.
I absolutely agree here, despite one point. A marked with no (or very low) entry barriers can't be very profitable. In such a marked new players enter constantly until the profit margin becomes very low. As soon as this point is reached, big players that are more efficient sort out the competition. Therefore monopolies, or at least a marked with very few players can and will form. The only point is, as soon as this players try to exploit their position in this marked, they immediately open space for new players to enter again. |

The current upgrading tendencies are not really an accurate prediction of how it will be with the fork. The fork, when and if it's decided, is a super high profile thing. It would also likely be something that's already felt by the users (higher fees perhaps?), so they would most likely upgrade significantly faster than with regular patches. That being said, they would likely not upgrade super fast regardless, so months are needed at least.
Could it not be simply introduced, that miners with the patch "mark" their blocks somehow and as soon as say at least 80% of all blocks are "marked" a countdown activates (maybe 20,000 Blocks) to give the remaining 20% some time. |

Du hast eine .dat datei gespeicher, oder?
Diese in Wallet.dat umbenennen und dann damit die Wallet.dat unter Eigene Dateien\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin überschreiben.
Nicht vergessen vorher diese Wallet auch zu sichern.

How about a tin foil Guy Fawkes mask?
We are sorry, but in order for our products to deliver sufficient protection, it is necessary that they fully cover your Parietal lobe. Therefore we are unable to deliver masks. Rest assured that our R&D is working on a solution for that problem and we believe we are close to a breakthrough that may change the world of Tinfoil hats. |

I have tested this. Aluminum just is not effective.
Personal opinion may differ, but extensive Tests in our Lab have clearly proven that Aluminium increases protective abilities, by reducing weight at the same time, compared to Tin.  |
|

Seems like a scam. The hats are clearly aluminum. If they are in fact tin i am intetested.
Our R&D department was working hard to develop a hat that delvers improved protective capabilities to tin by increasing the comfort of wearing them at the same time. We can insure you that our hats will serve all you mind protective needs. During the research to deliver optimized protective hats our product name hasn't changed. We are sorry if this has led to confusion. For slightly increased costs we are still able to supply you with materials to manufacture a 1900 model of our hats.  |

Do you sell tinfoil hats for pets by any chance? My dog is in need of protection against MKULTRA!!!
Of course! Our company follows a strict non speciesism policy. Therefore we try hard to offer protective hats for all earthlings (and beyond). But due to low demand we are currently only able to offer hats for cats, dogs and mutant space rats.    |
