it's crazy and could harm BTC's reputation. Nobody ever talks about what could harm Gold's reputation, or Silver's reputation. It's Bitcoin's job to be resilient against all attacks, including infinite cloning. And it has proved to be very resilient against such events this year. |

The only altcoins I can see that could serve a genuine purpose, or offer something different to Bitcoin would be Litecoin and Peercoin, and potentially primecoin. Why Litecoin? When introduced, it offered nothing to the cryptocurrency world that had not been done before. (My point is, look how Litecoin has succeeded, even though it was just a repeat of what had been done before. Think about what that could mean for the current coins out there now.) |

I made a sale last week and expected an ACH deposit to complete this Monday. It didn't complete until Tuesday.
During the time the deposit was pending, there was a "tracking number" available to me - does anyone know where and how to use this?

Thanks for the great race, DrH, and all my fellow bitminters. Hopefully next time I'll have some more hashing power.
Although I'm sure the rest of you all will as well. Sob!

Thanks, Silver. It's a pleasure to interact with such liberated minds here and get a glimpse into the future.

The race is not always to the swift, my good doctor.
Hehe, you are right about that  I hope I'm right in spades. But unless I can beat 000000000000000001480bf37765db8beb84651395cc36e76e2c4e36fbb51026, I doubt it. |

Mine faster!  The race is not always to the swift, my good doctor. |

Add the ability to mark an account as sold
That way, people willingly selling their accounts can make it clear
What if you need to know that an account has been sold a second time? What if people lie? |

I take credit for the current Bitcoin rally - I sold a bit of my meager holdings yesterday. I knew it was bound to go up.

Thanks, Walter; that's very illuminating. Do you think the collapse of the dollar and the temporary breakage of the world economy will lead people closer to libertarianism, or closer to authority leading to totalitarianism? I'm not sure there's any way to tell. I would hope that Bitcoin means there is now a very great method for people to make a big dent in the level of control that the state can have. It is true that crises before have led people to pick other tyrants - there are a number of people who even view the American Revolution in that light. But maybe with the new protection afforded by Bitcoin, people can protect themselves from the next round of tyrants as well. Maybe more of us will make that choice. You're also right that there's now a much better dispersal of libertarian ideals - more people are informed about liberty than they have been in a long time. Unfortunately a lot of times tyrants are able to capitalize on that with rhetoric about freedom. I know I was duped this way by the Republican Party for years.  I fear that such a message hasn't spread far enough fast enough OTOH, and we'll have to fight through another 30-something year round of irrationality before the monetary system flops yet again and provides another opportunity for a critical shift in our methods of governance. Maybe with Bitcoin, they will have a lot less wealth to bring into their new system. |

I stand corrected. I think there's another one where the first page says the giveaway is over, or else I am just mixed up! |

Why soda?
Soda is unhealty. Let's break corporate greed.
I'm not sure the connection between your second and third sentences. "Greed" is just a disrespectful label anyway. |

The act of buying and selling domain names should also be disallowed. It makes it harder for me to trust people.
Stuff that makes it hard for me to trust people should be disallowed. We should have a trustworthy society.

I made a kind of simulation online and I should get 751 for a day, which is not so much but enough to test all that
I have to test before buying my next rig into it
I found that definition for PPLNS: "PPLNS - Pay Per Last N Shares. Similar to proportional, but instead of looking at the number of shares in the round, instead looks at the last N shares, regardless of round boundaries."
I am paid with that system with my LTC pool but it seems to grow faster
I think that my simulation is wrong but I really need a real simulator for that coin
Do the math! |

I want to manage all my users bitcoin account. Only button will never solve it.
It sounds like you want your users to maintain bitcoin balances on your server and then they'll use these balances to pay for things. Unless you are very very experienced in computer security and system design, I'd advise against this. It's only a matter of time before you'll be hacked. I really don't know why you'd want to do this anyway. If you sold items in fiat currency, you wouldn't require users to store fiat currency on your site, would you? They'd just use credit cards or something. Please explain further. He doesn't want to sell stuff - he wants to run a marketplace where other people sell stuff, and where he escrows the money. He wants to run a Silk Road. |

what you say doesn't change the fact that there'd be more civil wars/fighting in an anarchistic society. I don't believe this would be the case. Most of the wars of the past century, at least, would have been eliminated if the subjects could secede. One reason I am pro-anarchy is that I am anti-war. i'm not sure how that changes things. if you are suggesting that the entire world should transition to anarchist systems, which we have no example of, then there would absolutely be power vaccums, which would lead to war. Is there some reason people can't defend themselves against oppressors without having to oppress others to do it? |

Fantastic work. I wonder how long it will be till the guy who runs the local ice house in my town would be willing to use this.

Read carefully how PPLNS works, and do the math to find out how much you are earning based on shares you are submitting. PPLNS seems to confuse a lot of people - it is very fair, both to the miners and the pool operators, but for some reason a lot of people come to it and think they are getting gypped. Basically, you can't just mine for a couple of hours and take your earnings and multiply to figure out what your daily income will be on that pool. If you do, you will get a major underestimate.
