Lol @ luke jr and his 51% attack attempts.

Change ISP now.

And consider suing them 

Who the hell voted fpga?

No need for a survey, ASIC is best.

(yeah well, ASICs still have to be released, i know)

Lightweight clients do exist! Electrum for example. It's NOT an online wallet, but it doesn't have to download the blocks.

Nah. I say that bitcoin is digital gold. Is gold money? No. 

Oh don't worry, they can put people in jail if they want. Laws? They make the laws lol.

2)Yes, it's correct. The worker can do nothing with his proof of work, he can only send it to the pool

3)Nothing. All normal pool rely on trust, you must trust the admin to not scam you.

Except for p2pool, where you cannot be scammed, because it's an automated pool, a bit like how bitcoin itself work. p2pool, no one can scam you.

Good luck shutting down bitcoin 

Better than to wait 2 days for all the blocks when you only run the client for like ten minutes, also you can't lose money with it.

Get a lightweight client like Electrum

Size is not a problem, the blockchain currently is only few GB big. It does not justify taking hours to verify it. It take hours and hours because the verify system used is slooooooooooooooooow

Because it verify every single block it download (and more recent blocks have more transactions than older ones, since more ppl use bitcoin) and because the system used do to that is slooooow. They are working on new client with a much much much faster synchronizing system.

On a side note, you do not have to use the standard client with the full blockchain. There are lightweight clients wich do not have to download all the blocks, and thus have no sync problem!

USA
they decide what is counterfeiting and what not, and you must obey. 

I linked the electrum client too. If you know other clients, link them please, i know only these 2 lightweight clients.

That's a nice explanation http://evoorhees.blogspot.it/

clients to use

http://electrum-desktop.com/ or
http://bitcoinarmory.com/

Please avoid the standard client unless you want to have it download blocks for a day 

Smack, you have TONS of things to learn. You are totally disoriented 

People sell you bitcoins, your money go to who sells you them.

It doesn't exist

Bitcoin IS the money. You have dollars right? A 5$ banknote is money right? Nice, same apply for bitcoins, they are money (well, more similar to digital gold)

Your money go to who sell you bitcoins and you have the bitcoins.

You need a client and you just send them to the address you want to send them to (like if you buy something online)

Please do a bit of research to avoid losing bitcoins/not understanding how it works


There is no "official" website, there is a main one but it's not the only one. Do a "official website" of gold exist? No, gold is just gold, no matter whatelse. Same apply for bitcoins, they exist.

It doesn't exist (yeah well there are some online wallets where you can send your bitcoins and manage them from there. It's like putting your money in paypal or in a bank and then manage it from there. But your money exist before you put it there! Same for bitcoin )

Here we go in the technical part
Technical part too
No.


You can buy them, it's not hard, just, you can't buy them with paypal or with a credit card (that's due to chargeback, ppl buying bitcoins with paypal and then reverting the transaction... so they have both bitcoin and their money back... that's why almost no one sells bitcoins for paypal/credit card) 

Nice article!

illegal for WHO? 

what a fail article

And some millions of $ to make the masks and to invest to start producing the chips.

It's not like with FPGA where you run a program in your computer, code the bitstream, buy a fpga for 500$ and then copy-paste the bitstream in it.

To make an ASIC you must do the blueprints of the chip and then pay to produce the masks to produce the chips. Millions of $!
