It never gets "easier to mine", actually it gets harder, difficulty increases with the network hashing power, faster, better hardware leads to difficulty increase. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Difficulty |

But this is not new news? When did EBAY ever allow listings where the seller was willing to take btc as a payment. Im sure they have been taking down those listing for the better part of the last 3 years.
No this is not new news, I had a listing taken down 2 years ago for saying I wouold accept btc. Obviously they know people are looking to use btc, but why would they allow listing to be hosted on their website, only to have people complete tranactions in btc and avoid their listing fees. Similarly if they knew you were going to say send a check and avoid the fees, they wouldnt allow that. Will be interesting to see if they try to put all this effort into actually allowing btc to be used as payment, rather than wasting all this effort banning its use. They could really open up a HUGE potential for btc use as tey are already worldwide and the largest place to sell stuff online. The simple option here is to allow Paypal accounts to be funded with bitcoin, I think they have much to gain with this, probably it's even better for them than current system only allowing credit and debit cards. This is the easiest solution to the problem. If you could fund and withdraw from your PayPal account with Bitcoin. That way buyers can buy with and sellers can receive Bitcoin, but the actual transaction could be backed in case of fraud, as it is now. When it comes down to it, PayPal is their escrow service. But the thing is there isn't need for Paypal anymore.. there is better escrow technology availible these days, but they are still being developed and in experimental phase, but soon it will be decentralized peer to peer escrowing, paypal will be useless in a decade or two compared to BTC. Merchants don't want and shouldn't be exposed to bitcoin volatility, it's not that they don't want to be paid with an irreversible, 0% percent fees payment system, it's about the value variation. For the vast majority of merchants bitcoin is useless. |

Sure, you're a moron.
Bitcoin technology is free and open source, people can use it to whatever they want or need, if banks are able to use it to cut costs and improve their systems good for them.
what do you mean? I mean your logic is nonsense, bitcoin technology is free and open source and can be used to whatever end it is needed or suitable, people don't have to be restricted to the bitcoin network or a simple copy/paste of the code. |

No Coin--> No Reward--> No Miner--> No Dezentralized Blockchain --> Nonsense Any thoughts??  Sure, you're a moron. Bitcoin technology is free and open source, people can use it to whatever they want or need, if banks are able to use it to cut costs and improve their systems good for them. |

I was under the impression it was the Chinese currency, not only for bitcoin but also litecoin, and probably for a bunch of other altcoins also.

All we need to do in order to fix every Bitcoin problem is this? Why not ask the creator them self? "Satoshi Nakamoto" clearly mined the first block called 'the genesis block" if we could get Satoshi Nakamoto to send Bitcoin from the genesis block with a public note addressing different Bitcoin dilemmas. This would be proof for the solution, Therefore all Bitcoin problems would be solved. For if you ask, you shall receive...
All we need to do is get Satoshi Nakamotos attention because Satoshi Nakamoto is still here watching their beautiful creation...
The rest is up to you's...?

What is more significant price wise? Bill Gates buying more BTC for his foundation (a guy from the technology area investing) or Mike Tyson opening his own ATM (a more mainstream celeb investing)?
I'd definitely say Bill Gates. They both have a large amount of followers, however Bill Gates has more influence over people with more of a tech and investment background. I'd imagine most people that follow Mike Tyson are not techies or investors. Since bitcoin makes sense to more people with a tech or financial background I'd say Bill Gates is a more significant supporter. With that rationale Mike Tyson is widening bitcoin awareness, people in tech industry already now about bitcoin, specially investors. |

The original post of this thread seems vaguely to hint that it might be possible to mine this coin, but since no algorithm/miner is specified how is anyone able to actually mine it?
What do you do, try every mining software and hardware out there in each configuration/algo until you get lucky and happen upon one that seems to work?
Why is the mining method/algo such a secret???

It's in OP: http://worldcoin.global/mining/Download the latest cgminer or Scrypt version of GUIMiner and load it up. |

FWIW the website is © Copyright 2015 Bitcoin Direct, LLC ... So it's marketing for using a big celebrities name. But it's always encouraging to see high-profile be aware and share Bitcoin.
True! And he tweeted to 4.9 million followers.  |

Like previously said, they do have a clean history and I do have them in high regard because all my dealings in their sites.
This behavior seems quite erratic and it's theft, hope you got back what is owned to you.

Se continuas a fazer as contas sem subida da dificuldade aqui fica um pouco do que se passa na mineração: the company was planning to invest AU$18 million of the funds raised into Bitcoin mining hardware and facilities, http://cointelegraph.com/news/114961/australian-regulator-blocks-ipo-bitcoin-mining-companyComo esta empresa existem mais... A mineração caseira já morreu prái em 2012, desde então comprar bitcoin é sempre mais lucrativo do que comprar equipamento de mineração. |

I'm also getting the connection refused error, it's been hard to surf the forum for the last hour or so I've been online, it comes and goes.

I'm really satisfied with Bitstamp, made quite a few trades there and cashed out 3 or 4 times, they are well funded and could handle latest hack, almost 5 million stolen.
It requires standard KYC for me which is Citizen's Card and an utility bill in my name.
I use SEPA transfers to cash out, and they are always quite fast processing it.

It's probably better for you to use an external service like Blockchain.info, if you just want to accept payments, Bitpay, Coinbase or Gocoin should meet your requirements.It's probably better for you to use an external service like Blockchain.info, if you just want to accept payments, Bitpay, Coinbase or Gocoin should meet your requirements.
