Also, you can bet your $1,700 PC would go in the shitter sooner than later, mining.
When you mine, you're basically overclocking the shit out of GPU, so the whole system would produce ridiculous amounts of heat, causing thermal damage to your investment in the long run. Without proper cooling, you could possibly burn out your video cards, CPU, motherboard if you don't have proper cooling, so it'll be quite risky.
You burn out your rig, and no more Witcher 3 to play...

Voted for Everyone, you're already seeing signs of this happening across the globe. You're seeing it with Bitpesa: https://www.bitpesa.co/You're seeing it with Rebit.ph: https://rebit.ph/These are some of the poorest nations in the world, so to just say it's an Elite thing or 1% thing isn't actually close to true. |

I don't know if Fiat users are mentall ill, maybe institutionalized is a better politically correct term. Institutionalized is just a clever euphemism for indoctrinated. This is abusing language to avoid facing the obvious ethical horror of socially engineering children during formative years. You have been lied to your whole life, by people who have been lied to their entire lives, and so on, generation after generation, because of a continued failing of basic ethics. Yes, that could be a better term for it, Indoctrination. Generations upon generations being told what is "money" and trust the central authorities in place. If you're not a self thinker, and believe everything that's written and spoken on the boob tube, then sure this can be dangerous and unexpected when something like Greece happens. If you can form your ideas, and see the big picture, then nothing that will occur soon should come as a shock, when the mighty Fiat finally succumbs... |

Unfortunately, this is all a part of the learning curve for these exchanges of this new 6 year old technology. Mistakes and lesson learned for both the providers and the end users.
Seems there weren't any thefts or losses of the scope and scale of Gox or Stamp even, just privacy and personal info leaked, which although bad, aren't quite the losses in the millions we continue to hear with those other exchanges.
Short term it's bad, but long term it's necessary to weed out the weak and incompetent players, so Bitcoin exchanges as a whole can step forward.

Why are people still paying money for porn in the age of Xhamster, youporn, and redtube?
You forgot xvideos  Exactly, in this day and age, anyone paying for Porn out of pocket or by credit card is kinda demented, no? Pretty much everything is streaming too all in HD, no need to download torrents or videos from Vuze or the old school Kazaa, Morpheus, or Limewire anymore. Pornhub, Spankwire, Youjizz, Spankbang, Beeg  Can you download that to an android? Sure, you should be able to play it on your mobile phone's browser. Just be wary, you can still get viruses on a phone, just like any PC. Also, speed may be an issue if you're not on Wifi, depending on your provider and coverage area. |

i was wondering why there is only one internet protocol vs 500+bitcoin protocol? is it open source? if not who has the code? surveillance on the internet is massive now so why hasn't someone created a different internet protocol? is tor an internet protocol ? what do you think about kim dotcom's meganet?will this project use the internet source code and be modified?
You are mistaken. There is only 1 Bitcoin protocol just like there is only 1 tcp/ip protocol. There are many altcoin protocols just like there are many network protocols. what are those network protocols? Well if you want to get old school, TCP/IP, Appletalk, NWLink IPX/SPX were all competitors before TCP/IP eventually won out and became "THE Internet Protocol". I'm sure there were others, but after the 90's it was these 3, and now there's pretty much just 1 standard, well 2 if you count TCP/IP version 6. ok is freenet a protocol too? do you know if internet protocol has similarities with bitcoin protocol? someone above said internet protocol is not just a code correct? Believe freenet is more of an anonymous proxy service. Bitcoin and TCP/IP share alot of similarites since they're both protocol implementations that have many different layers to it. TCP/IP has 7 layers in the OSI model and 4 in the TCP/IP model, and Bitcoin has it's own protocol stack:  Bitcoin is open source and anyone with the technical know how can write to it, and build on top of it, applications that anyone can freely use. |

Is this another centralized service that users are willingly trusting their private keys to?
Not saying it's right that they lose their stash, but I mean COME ON MAN!!!
If you leave your keys in the hands of the 3rd party centralized entity with no laws or recourse in place, you kinda deserve whatever happens...
I have seen the same warning since GOX and it is still true to this day, if you don't have the keys you don't have the coins. Bitcoin gives you the possibility to be your own bank, don't get greedy and trust others with all your money for an interest you know is from a ponzi. It's kinda why I don't mind the Bitlicense, regulation, and AML/KYC coming to Bitcoin exchanges even though some of it goes against the tenets of what Bitcoin stands for. At this point, scammers, hackers, ponzis, and bad actors/players continue to tarnish whatever good will and potential Bitcoin provides. Not that there isn't in Fiat based economies, but could you imagine if the NYSE or NASDAQ ever got hacked. There'd be blood on the streets, and alot of people would be unemployed. I mean even after the Target or JP Morgan Chase hacks, there's recourse, and all funds are pretty much insured at least. No such recourse with Bitcoin exchanges or wallet services yet... |

Well I tried this last night around 7:30PM EST and it's still going until now.
Knew it was too good to be true, to hear the reported faster indexing, 3 hours total, yada yada.
Not poopoo-ing on the devs, because they do what they can to support and improve and optimize the software, just keeping it real.
I now see the Torrent link on the top of the page, but wonder if that's any faster than just downloading the entire Blockchain from the new client.
I know this software is meant for advanced users that want to serve as nodes etc, but to take over 12-13 hours before you can even use the client...unacceptable.
Color me disapppointed. By the way, I have a laptop with core i7 cpu, running Win 7 64 bit, 6 GB DDR 3 RAM on a Verizon FIOS symmetric 50MB internet connection, no SSD harddrive. Even with no SSD, that shouldn't account half a whole days worth of downloading the blockchain. I did have Bitcoin Core 0.9.1 shutdown, and then downloaded and installed 0.10.0 over it, then an error message popped, which gave me little choice but to download the entire blockchain. Pretty much a cancel and not use Bitcoin Core, or download 34 GB worth of data to use the software.
There should an option to download locally or cache the chain in the cloud, just give the users options especially as "the wallet" promoted and developed by the Bitcoin Foundation.
Just ranting, but expecting much better. This is my 3rd upgrade in 3 years, guess just venting because I didn't have to re-download the entire blockchain in previous installations.
Just my experience, take it for what it's worth.

I'm ready and willing provided I don't have to wait 6 confirmations for a larger purchase to go through. I know for smaller ones, the payment processors can set it to zero, since there's less risk, but if I'm buying something substantial, I need to know it went through sooner.
Otherwise, I'll have to look into Gyft, Purse.io, and Brawker to act as a middleware of sorts, since direct purchases are still not quite ready for primetime.

Once the internet blew up and Porn websites and technology along with it, I have never once paid or provided a credit card for Porn. Not with fiat, not with credit cards, and certainly not with Bitcoin. I do remember back in the day buying a ton of VHS tapes from those adult novelty stores, but that's a whole other discussion.  |
