I hope they will make a BTC plot on Big Bang Theory that would get to the right people.
Something about Howard using the Universities super computer to mine Bitcoins and Sheldon developing his much superior Alt-Chain only to be 51% attacked would be awesome. (Not going to happen, I know)
THIS. If I knew how to contact the writers of the show, I would ask them about it. |

Fair warning, running the QT client begins to get sluggish after about 15k addresses, and is nearly unusable after 120k or so.

I thought they're saying End of January now?
They're saying all current pre-orders will be delivered by then, not that that is when they will start delivering them. |

There's really only been two delays so far.
First delay brought it from late October to early November. Second delay brought it from early November to late November/early December.
Hopefully there's not a 3rd...

I think mtgox does this for you when you sweep an address. Check it out.
So they'll do it for you if coins are received in the future, as well as coins sitting at the address at the time you submit it to them? |

Assume I have a private key or collection of private keys, and I am afraid they have been compromised by a third party. I am also expecting payments at an unknown time in the future to arrive to one or more of the private keys.
Is there any trustworthy software or website that automatically forwards any bitcoins received at one or more addresses to a new address, as soon as possible? Perhaps even by increasing the fee a bit beyond the normal 0.0005 BTC to have a better chance at pushing through a transaction before someone else did?

My plates have the first bits for one of my addresses. Ok, that was a lie. They're actually just a random DMV-selected alphanumeric string, but there's no harm in pretending, is there?
Now that's something doable with 6 letters..! 18TKN. No one would have a clue what it meant. I kind of meant no one driving on the road would know... |

I'm looking for a handful of 1 BTC Casascious Coins Version 1. Anyone want to sell theirs, or know where some are still available for sale?

My inclination is buy and hold. There's no reason I would sell right now - too much good news lately, including the wordpress acceptance, possible reddit acceptance, Google potentially implementing it into their wallet, etc. Bitcoin is not stopping. I am bull.

Ok so, piglet is funny and all, but am I the only one who has trouble thinking that I'd actually buy a product called a "piglet"? It would be downright embarrassing to own just based on the name itself. It reminds me too much of Disney, cartoons, and kid things. I'm an adult male - I don't want to own something called a piglet...
Lockr is a way better name IMO. I am serious when I say that calling it a piglet would make me reconsider the plan to purchase one.

Solo minining or setup you own pool.
Why not take the advantages a pool have? He will have 127.5Gh/s. You answer suggest all ASIC miners go do solo mining... He will have 1.275 TH/s, actually. |

Do your client's computers have modern dedicated graphics cards installed? ATI 58XX , 6XXX, or 7XXX series? If not, it is not worth your trouble. You'll make pennies a day while your client pays dollars a day for electricity. If so, it may be worth your trouble, but only for a few weeks, until ASICs ship out. Once ASICs are up and running, graphics cards will be just as old and slow as CPU's are now, and you'll again be back to making pennies a day while your client pays dollars a day for electricity.

I'm guilty of posting in it, but this whole thread is asinine. Dozens of hypothesis of why stealing bitcoins wouldn't be illegal based on technicalities of what a bitcoin is by armchair legal scholars.
I think in instances like this, people just need to take a step back and think about the purpose of laws, and what the reasonable thing to do would be. Is it reasonable to allow someone to get away with stealing other people's Bitcoins? No. Therefore, a law will be enacted against such theft, if one does not already exist that can be reasonably applied. Whether a law currently exists or not is largely irrelevant - a law (or at the very least, a new precedent by judgement) will be created if necessary to ensure people's bitcoins are not stolen. |

I'm interested if you can sell it to me for ~$40.
Sorry, you might want to look for counterfeits. Thank for the offer though Not a problem, sorry it's a lowball but it's all we could really spend at this point. |

It's really pretty simple to figure this out IMO.
- BFL wanted to fly people to their plant in late october/early november to see their prototypes.
- Their prototype batch of chips didn't work, but they still wanted to show off pics, so they did.
- They ordered up a new batch of chips, this time enough to do a full production run, with fixes in place to correct the issues from the first prototype.
- They delayed the fly-people-to-their-plant thing until they get the new batch of fixed chips in.
- As they are on a second revision of the chip, in all likelihood, it won't have problems. They will time it so that the two peeps flying in will be able to see a working product running on 2nd-revision chips. They will also begin assembly that week, assembling enough units to ship out the first batch (maybe a hundred units or something?).
To me, all the evidence points to them fully expecting working prototypes to be in-hand at the end of October, but then something unexpected came up. I believe that unexpected thing was a bad run of chips, and I believe that's why the only thing they are waiting on for assembly is the new batch of chips.

I like it!
Another idea is, for those who own or manage vending machines, stock them up with 0.1 BTC paper wallets and charge $2.00 each. If the price of BTC changes to > $20, then break them down into 0.05 BTC paper wallets, etc.
I would so do this if I owned a vending machine. Heck, I'm thinking of buying a vending machine just to do it. Lots of them for sale (even active ones) on craigslist, etc.
