I'm sorry Atlas but this time i do not agree. Bitcoin really rely on people running the full client. Yes, lightweight clients and online wallets (avoid them please unless you love losing money) exists but bitcoin is p2p, we need as more people as possible acting as nodes

"It seems you don't know very well how bitcoin works"
You must be a fucking prodigy. Why else do people post questions on the nature of bitcoin in this section?
When you two are done blowing eachother let me know. Anyone else see what I am saying here an want to weigh in on it?
Taking the time? You begun your unclear response with an idiotic insult and then fail to see what I am actually asking. Don't answer questions if you aren't qualified/able/willing to do it without a chip on your shoulder.
You should think about the assuming way you responded to my question (in the newbie section) and quit crying about a deserved sharp response.
so much fail. Go read wiki and inform instead of insulting other people |

scourcforge plays politics and puts an embargo on the people of Iran??
Why? Thats wrong.
Sourceforge is forced to do that by the dictatorship, we are not free  |

+1 what tbcoin said Well what happens then, does that address become "created" if it has not been already once I send coins? Seems weird, how would the go codes for that account be set?
It seems you don't know very well how bitcoin works. There are no "accounts". Addresses aren't "created". They just exist. An address is just a private key and it's public key. If you send btc to a key, then only someone with the related private key can use them. If no one has it then coins are lost, unless someone eventually get that address, wich is like almost impossible, even if you check billions of address per second until the universe death |

You are good there then although solo mining BTC is pretty much an iffy proposition with the diff being so high, you may want to give LTC or PPC a try those are lower rate chains where you have good chance to get a block within reasonable amount of time then you could trade them for BTC.
I actually have my two least capable miners pointed at solo mining. One is solo mining LTC and the other is solo mining BTC. I figure since it's pretty much a long shot for me anyway until my first 5870 arrives either Monday or Tuesday I might as well put my two most useless miners (my cell phone is doing solo LTC at about 8 hashes per second (LOL) and I have the cpu on one of my computers soloing BTC at about 50 KH/s (again, LOL)). Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, BUT some day at least one of those two miners will get lucky... Then I have the rest of my miners pointed at OzCoin with liecoinpool.org as my failover... Heh, good luck with that. I tried solomining with CPU (3MH/s) for a week, no luck at all. LOL, thanks... I forgot to mention the CPU died after that week.  Well you were unlucky Thousands of people all around the worlds keep their CPU at 100% with distributed computing projects and CPUs have no problems at all. |

ASIC are not power hungry like GPU's which is part of the appeal!
Then people will buy MORE asics than they did with gpu. So the 1th/s will mine even less  |

Bitcoin should not be anti-government. It should just ignore them. We are here for a free market, not to make governments happy

After a few mins of more thinking...
Perhaps the idea of an "official" group is not wise. Instead, the core dev team could create an organization, with special logo and name. This organization would be the de facto official group, but only so long as it held up its reputation. At all times, other groups can form and compete for "de facto officialness."
In essence then, this would just be a Non-profit, spontaneously organized by individuals. If multiple such organizations sprout up, then each community member can support whomever they wish.
Think of it like a market for competing representatives. No group official by law, but any group official by market sentiment. We would see one group come to dominate the sentiment, but Bitcoin would not be irrevocably tied to it.
No group should be granted an explicit monopoly... but an implicit market-derived monopoly would not bother me.
+1 to this! |

realityenigma, mining is not a get rich quick scheme. If you want bitcoins or litecoins then you have to buy them or invest a lot in mining. But don't expect to become rich just by running a program in your computer... I'm interested in investing in Lite Coin mining equipment, but the looming ASIC release has me timid to do so. I am worries all of the GPUs will switch over making it profitless. Hopefully that is not the case, if so I might jump in!
My assumption is that when difficulty goes up, the price will go up to. Trolling? 0/10 it's like saying smoking is caused by cancer |

Mmh...i'm thinking about your word casascius and yes, you are right. This is a sign that bitcoin is no more only a "nerdy things" but is moving in the real world.

The Foundation is fine for me, it will probably help bitcoin. But i disagree with in order for government officials and executives to take Bitcoin seriously This remember me the scene in the beginning of the movie The Scorpion King when Takmet says to Balthazar "You are king of nothing ... the ruler of a pile of sands and rocks" and then Balthazar grabs his hands and squeezed them and tell him "If I am no king, why are you kneeling before me?" Same apply here. They don't take bitcoin seriously? Then why with bitcoin i can buy everything? |

Pay for the right to vote? Vote what? and this too is lol: to regulators, goverment officials They all agreed that a foundation neds to be in place for Bitcoin to succeed. Yeah well they are the same who said "police will go after bitcoin staff" and then when they told them that there is no one behind bitcoin "then they will go after bitcoin server farms and infrastructure"? My opinion is, do the opposite of what "regulators" and "government officials" say dozens of votes But to vote what? Miners and people who use bitcoin vote. Not the foundation. |

Kim Dotcom has been a scumbag all his life: stealing, scamming and hacking. (If the sources I have read for this are correct) That's why: In normal times, evil would be fought with good. But in times like these, well, it should be fought by another kind of evil |
