Amazing.

Google Alerts. I get a Mail the very moment there is new press with the Word Bitcoin in it.
As I'm not familiar with Forex trading, I hold back from posting comments, but I hope that some others that have some knowledge in this area will post some.
Thanks for your offer, though.

Initially, the Bitcoin was priced at 1,309.03 BTC per dollar, and now, four years later, the price is about 0.070771408 BTC per dollar Well, that's the news. Be prepared for a load of suckers buying in.  (Joking,... or not?) |

Lets say for example we set a Target, that the average Blocksize is always 80% of max. Blocksize and adjust the max. Blocksize by max. +-20% all 2016 Blocks to meet this Target.
This would ensure that Blockchain space always remains scarce, therefore ensuring TX fees for fast transaction, by at the same time ensuring that it will always be possible to make a transaction.
I'm looking forward to learn why this wouldn't work.
The problem with this is that some pools still mine blocks where the only transaction is the one that awards them their subsidy, and that can really poison averages. Than change it to The average of the biggest 50% of all Blocks mined every 2016 Blocks. That would also mean that at least 50% of all miner would have to agree that a increase of the max. blocksize is necessary and also ensuring no minority can keep an increase from happening. So (numbers changed a little): Target: Average Blocksize of the biggest 1008 Blocks is always 90% of max. Blocksize Adjustment: Max. Blocksize, max. +-20% all 2016 Blocks to meet this Target.
As far as using bitcoins in retail on a reasonable timeline goes, a few of the gambling sites have developed very good ways to prevent nasty stuff by identifying the low risk transactions which may as well be accepted immediately. I don't find the interval of time between blocks to be problematic.
Blocktime all 10 minutes is fine by me. And there is no need to change this in any way IMO. I just ment if there would be say 1 Mil transactions a day, that would mean, that ~400 K each day would never be conformed, solely to the 1Mb limit and this would add up day by day. Honestly as far as block size goes, I'm pretty comfortable with Gavin making a decision as benevolent dictator and letting everyone know at what point in the future the blocksize increases to its next finite (or formulaic) step.
I agree, but I would be far more comfortable with a solution that would fix this once and for all and would still work for any unforeseen challenges that might come in 50 Years. |

Ich habe zwar kein ASIC bestellt und habe auch nicht vor mir eins zuzulegen und auch den Punkt mit der Netzwerksicherheit halte ich für zweifelhaft.
Allerdings gibt es 2 Punkte über die ich mich richtig freue:
1. Die erste erfolgreich entwickelte Hardware die ausschließlich für Bitcoin entwickelt wurde. (Auch wenn mir Slushs Hardware Wallet wesentlich besser gefällt)
2. Endlich wird die Difficult so hoch, dass es das aus für diese verdammten Botnets bedeutet. Klar, gratis Coins bleiben gratis, egal wie wenige es sind, ich glaube aber nicht dass es sich dann noch lohnt einen Botnet Miner zu entwickeln und zu verbreiten. Dass finde ich richtig gut.

I always thought two of the benefits of Bitcoin are:
Fast transactions
Low transaction fees
It seems, that thees points are outright Lies
If the blocksize limit isn't lifted and Bitcoin grows it will at one Point be virtually impossible to make transactions unless a ridiculous high transaction fee is paid.
I can't see how we can ask any merchant to accept Bitcoin, if it is clear that, unless Bitcoin remain a sideline payment system, at some point it will be impossible to accept Bitcoin for small payments.
So learning that changing the blocksize limit would require a hardfork gets me very concerned.
Also, I strongly disagree, that the 1MB blocksize limit is one of the principals of Bitcoin.
IMO it's scarcity of transaction space.
Therefore my Proposal:
Make the max blocksize a mathematical Function.
Lets say for example we set a Target, that the average Blocksize is always 80% of max. Blocksize and adjust the max. Blocksize by max. +-20% all 2016 Blocks to meet this Target.
This would ensure that Blockchain space always remains scarce, therefore ensuring TX fees for fast transaction, by at the same time ensuring that it will always be possible to make a transaction.
I'm looking forward to learn why this wouldn't work.

Works fine (so far), thank you very much for upgrading.
Can we expect the forum to lag less in high traffic peaks now?

Hmm, I don't have any knowlege of you issues, but maybe you want to contact Tais46 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=23819He runs Bitcoin-24.com and has successfully implemented Sofortüberweisung (Which is provides by Sofort AG) to his exchange. There where some Problems in the beginning, but it seems all works fine know since several month. |

Das ganze Bitcoin Thema ist viel zu komplex um es mal kurz bei Wikipedia nachzulesen, vielleicht hab ich es sogar schon gelesen, aber aufgrund der Komplexität einfach nicht sofort in den richtigen Zusammenhang gebracht.
Nur mal kurz zwichenreinfunken Der Bitcoin Artikel bei Wikipedia war garnicht gemeint, sondern das Bitcoin Wiki. Dirt solltest du Antworten auf die meisten deiner Fragen finden. Wenn nicht, dann kanst du nach etwas lesen wenigsten spezifische Fragen stellen, die dir dann sicher viele hier gerne beantworten. Das hier: das minen ist ja beispielsweise von der Rechenpower abhängig, mit meinem Laptop brauch ich erst gar nicht anzufangen, aber
was ist wenn sich morgen Google einen Spaß erlaubt und die vorhandene Rechenpower mal nicht für Suchanfragen etc. verwendet?
Ich weiß die Bitcoin Menge ist begrenzt, aber zu welchem Zeitraum? So und so viele bis 31.12. oder auf Tagesbasis, Stunde, Minute?
ist einfach wie: "Erklärt mir doch bitte mal wie Bitcoin funktioniert und was es ist und zwar ganz von vorne". Du musst schon verstehen, dass viele (alle?) hier keine Zeit und Lust haben jedem 2. Noob alles ganz von vorne zu erklären. Das deutsche Wiki ist leider noch nicht sehr detailliert, aber im Englischen Teil sollten alle Fragen beantwortet werden. |

There is no law in Place (that I now off), that forces to give you a business account (or any account). Many smaller Banks even State that they may disallow you to open an account for any given reason. However many Banks have a voluntary commitment in place to allow everyone to have at least on account (asset based only). The so called "Jedermann-Konto". But precedent cases have shown, that they are allowed to close even this account for basically any given reason: Die Klage ist jedoch unbegründet, da das von der Klägerin behauptete Rechtsverhältnis nicht besteht. Die Beklagte ist unter keinem rechtlichen Gesichtspunkt verpflichtet, der Klägerin ein Konto auf Guthabenbasis nebst der Möglichkeit zum Onlinebanking zur Verfügung zu stellen. The lawsuit is unfounded, because the the legal relationship does not exist. The defendant is not on any legal obligation to make an account on a prepaid basis, together with the opportunity for online banking. So, I'm Sorry. |

I've decided to withdraw my support of bitcoin due to unfriendly forum community and widespread public opinion which i now support that bitcoin is a virtual currency used for the most part by pedophiles and other criminals, i sincerely hope DOJ will take swift action against this illegal enterprise, fuck you board idiots!!!
Don't let the door hit you. |

NFA Looks Into Banning Credit Card Deposits – The Impact
Earlier this month, the NFA sent its members a ‘Request for Comments’ letter are about the prohibiting of credit card payments. The NFA’s Compliance & Risk Committee (CRC) is concerned that these payment solutions promote depositing with borrowed funds and small sized deposits which barely cover minimum margin requirements. In their words “The CRC is concerned that retail customers may be opening accounts with funds that are not risk capital and are using credit cards as a source for borrowing funds to invest. The CRC’s overall concerns with this practice are compounded by the fact that many FDMs that offer this funding mechanism also permit retail customers to open an account with a very low deposit amount (e.g., $100) that merely covers the intended transaction’s initial margin requirement. Any slight movement in a customer’s forex position causes the customer to quickly fall below the margin requirement for the transaction.” Single Mention of Bitcoin: Therefore, while credit cards are an essential part of the US FX industry, it is safe to assume that alternate forms of payments won’t take long to fill the gap. On this point, Oanda’s CEO K Duker answered in a Reddit AMA that he expects digital currencies like bitcoin to play a bigger part of payment solutions for firms in the future. Full Article: http://forexmagnates.com/nfa-looks-into-banning-credit-card-deposits-the-impact/For all who don't know it NFA stands for National Futures Association. Today there is also a second article with Bitcoin on Forex Magnates, about the Reddit AMA mentioned above: Oanda’s CEO K Duker Hosts Reddit AMA
Oanda’s CEO K Duker hosted a Reddit AMA yesterday....
There was a question about bitcoin which Duker answered that “I wouldn’t expect to see (bitcoin) right away, but I definitely think alternative methods, like bitcoin, that focus on digitized exchange will become more prominent in the future.”...

Gibt es eigentlich irgendeine plausible Begründung warum der Bitcoinkurs so stark im moment steigt oder ist das alles wirklich nur reine Spekulation?
Es gab ein paar News in letzter Zeit die etwas bewirkt haben könnten. Auch gibt es Anzeichen, dass die Gesamtmenge an Bitcoinern steigt. Blockchain Full Nodes seen in past 48 hours ist von ~ 5600 auf ~6200 gestiegen, seit Dezember (schaue da als mal drauf). Und die Anzahl der Blockchain Wallets steigt exponentiell, knapp 100.000 mittlerweile. Dieses Forum hatte diesen Monat die höchste Anzahl an Besuchern seit 1 1/2 Jahren (Juni 2011). Wenn man einen Oktober 2012 hoch nicht mit zählt, dann haben wir auch diesen Monat die höchste Anzahl an neuen Membern im Forum seit Aug. 2011. Das alles sind aber nur Anzeichen, daraus kann man nicht wirklich definitive Schlüsse ziehen. Ich denke, die Bitcoin Adoption nimmt zwar zu, dass meiste ist aber reine Spekulation. |

No, I refuse to use any currency used for Evil purposes. that why I have gone back to use cowry shells only! ... In western Africa, shell money was usual legal tender up until the mid 19th century. Before the abolition of the slave trade, large shipments of cowry shells were sent to some of the English ports for reshipment to the slave coast. Ohh, damn it. |
