Take a look at the DAO, eg. At least $50 million USD worth of cryptocurrency was "stolen." There are no programmers making enough to take on that kind of risk.
Apparently there are people entrusting those programmers with a couple hundred million USD. The DAO showed smart contracts won't work, as people don't understand them. It also showed Ethereum can't be trusted to be "code is law" when the founder's money is at stake. You got the love the irony that the one person who understood the contract is called "The Attacker". I cannot ever see trusting code as law, because there can always be unintended consequences The obvious solution would be to only use very simple smart contracts. Say: "if address A holds more than X amount on May 1, 2017, send it to address B. If else, send to address C". The thing with lawyers is that most people still don't understand the contract they sign. Take something simple: do you understand the details of your mortgate agreement? Your car finance? Or just your local laws? Most people only know the basics, not the details. That means you either have to trust a lawyer or a programmer to do the right thing. Adding legal complications to a smart contract makes it just a classic "dumb" contract again. So far I haven't seen any real applications of smart contracts. Many theoretical possibilities have been mentioned, like a car rental company, but nothing real. I doubt it will happen, for the above reasons. |

The UK wouldn't have to go to war, if Spain wouldn't lay a claim on Gibraltar.
War is probably the quickest way to get out of EU :O I'm pretty sure that won't happen though, it's just some tough language to show power. Or an April fools joke.

I haven't been here for ages, and miss you all. Have there been any major changes to gameplay, anti-cheating and development in general since 6 months+?
I still fear your name Propagandalf! I haven't played Chopcoin much anymore, unfortunately. My agar-addiction moved to bubble.am. To get back on topic: recently bubble.am introduced a no-team-setting: if you feed mass into eachother, you both get smaller. Unfortunately, it's not enough to stop teaming: you can still help team members by shooting virusses, and if you feed your small bubbles into an opponent so that you can split up and eat him, that is considered teaming too, so the no-teaming-setting interferes with normal game play. |

Why would miners be buying Bitcoins? They buy hardware, then mine and sell Bitcoins.
You may be confused with traders.

They want full blocks and a fee market because the block subsidies are diminishing.
We'll only be mining 112.5 new bitcoins a day in the year 2036, so obviously that's more
important than making sure the network runs smoothly today.
We don't want to attract as many users as possible so that by the time fees become
important, there will be massive transaction volume. Instead, its surely better to just make fees expensive now
(doesn't matter if the competition has cheap fees).. because we need to establish
this fee market, you see... and get people used to high bitcoin fees.
in the future we'll be able to get more users or just jack up the fees even more.
</sarcasm>
Mining hardware doesn't last long, it's hash rate gets outdated quickly, depending on energy cost. I don't know the exact numbers, but I guess it's less than 2 years. That means miners don't look ahead much further, their financial interests are only short-term. I doubt Satoshi ever expected mining to become so centralized that miners can dictate block size. |

 These types of bets are a very rare treat to see. Congrats ProGame! That's incredible Does this mean the faq is outdated? It says: "Our maximum payout is 30 BTC per individual bet." |

Bitcoin still has potential because it is the first mover, but it is quickly losing ground to competitors. I feel a lot of people here are in deep denial about what is really happening, but I am still hopeful.
I see threads like this every day now. Partially it's FUD (with a hidden agenda?), why else would FAFKINGS create a new account just to post this? No way someone new to Bitcoin starts with this thought! In the Speculation-section newbies spread FUD on a daily basis. This one got lost in "Discussion" where people aren't used to the FUD yet. I'm still hopeful too, but Bitcoin can only grow if the number of transactions grows. This has been taking too long already, and there's still no hard increase scheduled. |

I'll add to the list  You must be login to make a bet Typo: Remove one word. User stats tab
Shouldn't this update realtime when I place another Bet? Without realizing it, I was playing "Free" instead of "Bitcoin" while looking at Stats. It's confusing:  Maybe you can use your own logo for "Free":  |

Why are you using all inputs for this transaction? You'll get 3.59414 BTC change in 1 address after this, which is very nice, because you won't spend that much on fees the next time. But there's no reason to do that now (do it on a Sunday when mempool is almost empty and much lower fees (5-10% of your current fee) still get confirmed).
I'm not sure what the options are in Electrum, but try to find how to use only the required inputs. Say that 0.00628313 BTC from the top of your screenshot, and about 30 of the addresses that hold about 0.00399756 BTC.
That way you'll have 31 instead of 812 inputs, which will reduce your transaction to a few kB only. Then, as NeuroticFish noted, a lower fee per byte is enough, say 1 or 2 mBTC.

Seems we haven't quite yet left the triple digits behind for good.
and it seems it might still take a while longer before we will.
Aaand we are on 4 digits again.. It starts to be quite exhausting to say good bye and hello to the triple digits all the time again and again.  But seriously, there will still be probably some kind of oscillation around 1k btc before the new bottom will move above that level. Good thing is that we could see, that even when there was a thread of hard fork or ETF approval, we didn't get very deep and we can say that $900 is a reall bottom right now. If you compare it with 2014, bitcoin is much more stable than it used to be back in the times.  Some price fluctuation is good for traders. I don't mind it as long as we trend upward. In fact, a slow rise with fluctuation is probably the best scenario. The recent pumps and dumps of bitcoin it's heaven for experienced traders, because (without no offence to anyone) current market is full of noobs driven by emotions which panic sell with every little price change. And those pro traders, who then buy low are laughing hard.  I have been HODLing my bitcoins for forever, and I never sold, not even when the price dropped to $250ish after having reached $1300. I don't give a damn, I don't sell for price swings up or down. But just recently I did sell 25% of my coins and exchanged them for altcoins, because I am getting sick and tired of this blocksize debate, and it's hurting bitcoin. If this debate isn't resolved soon, bitcoin will die from it. And the worst thing is, is that bitcoin core had the responsibility to avoid this debate, and they failed. Yet they still have support of many people, even though they failed the one job they had. I fully agree, they are ruining bitcoin and letting altcoins getting their marketcap as a result of pour leadership lol. have you seen bitcoin price history so far! it has been always like this, the current trend of price going down and having (seemingly) trouble to go back up has been a common thing. the FUD subject changes but the principle stays the same the same goes for altcoins, they have always used this opportunity to pump themselves and that is not new either. I've been in here longer then you kid, I don't need to look at the history of bitcoin, I was there. This is different though. This isn't some FUD about an exchange being hacked, or the president of China farting on chinese miners. This is a serious issue that is caused by poor leadership and politics. An issue that could have been prevented, and could be fixed easily. But so far it has taken years and it's still not fixed, and there's no sign that it would be fixed at all. The technical side of the problem is trivial, but the political side is difficult. And most of the altcoins don't have the same problem, because they have nothing to lose, so their leadership isn't fighting for control (yet, at least). Due to this infighting, the user experience for bitcoin users is noticeably getting worse. Or at best stagnating (and in revolutionary technology, stagnation is identical to deterioration). While at the same time altcoins keep innovating and increasing user experience. How long do you think bitcoin can ride of their network effect alone? Because truth is, bitcoin has offered nothing to their users other then being the big guy in town for the last 2 years or so. Do you really think this fact alone will be enough to carry bitcoin for another 2 years? think again. Bitcoin is still young, most investors are innovators and early adopters. Early adoption and innovation is in your blood, you're either an early adopter or you're not. Early adopters constantly look for revolutionary technology. And right now, bitcoin has became stale. So most of the whales in bitcoin have already started to look for promising new ideas. Some may have already diversified a bit to test the waters. It won't be long before they dive in completely. You can't keep innovators and early adopters satisfied for very long with a stale product. It depend on the price, fully. If the price stagnates and other cryptocurrencies will outperform bitcoin then we have a big problem because it occcurs at the same time when bitcoin has his big issues. I agree that this problem isnt like the others. This isnt a temporary problem that bitcoin can overcome easily. The price reflects the situation perfectly. The block size problem can be fixed very easily! This has been going on for way too long though. I can only imagine the positive effect on Bitcoin if the scaling problem ever gets fixed. Bitcoin already has thousands of transactions every 10 minutes. It is a good thing to have that many transactions, it shows the need to transfer money and actually use Bitcoin. Increase the limits and Bitcoin can grow. One way or another. I don't care how. Or, wait until some unimportant pre-mined or centrally controlled alt-coin takes over. |

Does anyone know any method to send BTC to users with less fees.
Do it on Sundays! Last Sunday, even fees under 10,000 Satoshi per byte got confirmed within 30 minutes, according to https://btc.com/stats/unconfirmed-tx . I've seen the number of unconfirmed transactions as low as 800. Meanwhile, most people even then used much higher fees. I think most wallet software by now by default takes a fee high enough to compete with other users, but since almost everybody does that, the end-result is we all pay more without getting the priority we want. If you have received many small payments in the past, a Sunday with few unconfirmed transactions is the best moment to send them all together to one new address. Bitcoin Core lets me choose exactly what fee I want for this. Note the risk though, your low-fee-transactions can quite suddenly be overtaken by higher fee transactions, which means you'll be waiting for a very long time. |
