I've seen dynamic scaling proposed on some places. A quick search reveals this:

I've also seen it on reddit, but I'm not finding it right now...
2802  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Canadian Government Decides -- Bitcoin is Hands Off -- No Real Regulation on: June 22, 2015, 12:23:33 PM
Well... That was a master kick, sort to say... It was a masterpiece publishing it on the blockchain, good call!

And they don't want to regulate anything apparently... Perfect. Too perfect to be true Smiley
2803  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: What kind of miners do you have now on: June 21, 2015, 07:37:31 PM
Only kept 1 Gridseed 5 chip I bought locally in my early script mining days, just for the lulz Grin Mining at 0,22 $/kW/h, obviously not profitable, but I like the little thing Smiley It's a bit like a token, a reminder, it was the first one I had.
2804  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2015-06-18] Metro: Could Greece take bitcoin as its official currency? on: June 21, 2015, 07:33:02 PM
They better stay off Bitcoin. It won't do them any good and if they adopted Bitcoin news outlets would probably label it as "the debt currency" Roll Eyes

The Greeks could already be adopting Bitcoin in large numbers. You never know when their country will be hit by capital controls.
Bitcoin can't help the Greek government though.

If citizens adopt Bitcoin, that's amazing, but not the government... That would definitely make people label it "the debt coin"

The Greeks could already be adopting Bitcoin in large numbers. You never know when their country will be hit by capital controls.
Bitcoin can't help the Greek government though.

None of the major Bitcoin exchanges (including Localbitcoins) have reported a surge in trade volumes from Greece. On the other hand, the trade volumes have been lower than the average for the last 6-7 months. So it seems that for the Greeks right now, Bitcoin doesn't looks like one of the primary methods to escape from capital controls.

Exactly, and it seems they really have no local exchanges... A surge of money from Greece would definitely be noticeable. I wonder if they either don't have any fear of capital control or they're getting out to other things like gold.

Can't blockchain load through Safari?
 -snip-

Yes.

Well, then there's this solution, blockchain via web interface on iOS 6's Safari...

Apple is discouraging updates for iOS 6 apps and is enforcing iOS 7 minimum on all apps. And I wouldn't be surprised if they enforced iOS 8 minimum by then end of the year...
Heavy downer.... I got my kids some IPhone 3Ses on sale many many years ago.  Seing grade school kids spending $1000 / yr on cell phone devices, service, and plan upgrades was just too insane (spelled C-O-S-T-L-Y) for me.  Since Apple has effectively made used IPhones worthless, I'll junk them for Android come Christmas

Thx Apple.

PS. I'll try safari, hope it has PW memory.

I don't know for how much you got them, but if you did so a bit after their release, you also spent quite a bit of money, as there are no "free lunches" in what concerns Apple devices. Apple enforces updates because they want all their users to be secure. If that's the best policy or not... I'm not sure Smiley But it works for them (they're not winning any money if you keep their old devices, so might as well make you buy a newer one or switch). As for kids with expensive devices, I also don't think it makes much sense, but whatever...

If you're looking for devices with long term support from their maker, switching to Android will make everything worse for you Wink If you value and don't mind using community updates, then awesome choice.

Anyways, back on topic Cheesy I don't think Safari on iOS 6 had PW memory.
2806  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: BIP-47: Reusable payment codes on: June 21, 2015, 05:46:39 PM
This looks really interesting, and I think it could be used, for example, as a donation address (or donation payment code, in this case). But there's something I'm not sure I understand (and forgive me if this is simple, but I'm not a very technical person Bitcoin-wise): if a payment code was given for donation, would each transaction to this code "redirect" the funds to different addresses? Will these codes make a lot of addresses via the same seed and use each address for each transaction?

2808  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Block Size Conflict Ends With Latest Update on: June 21, 2015, 05:34:18 PM
Conflict is far from over... We can all breath a sigh of relief when/if the changes go ahead (which I hope they do).

Things are looking good, people are now actually coding solutions, instead of just discussing them, and progress is being amde... Let's see where we're at January next year Smiley
2809  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Bitcoin XT code enabling bigger blocks on: June 21, 2015, 02:03:23 PM
Second, it is possible to use a soft fork to reduce the rate at which blocks double.

That's quite interesting Smiley

I already patched my client, xtnodes.com shows a few more nodes today.

Awesome! Every vote counts Smiley

Finally some movement! Can't wait to see this out on Bitcoin XT's production release!!
2812  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Banks are 'very excited' said Bitpay on: June 20, 2015, 07:23:37 PM
Of course they are very excited: BitPay needs banking partners to turn all that Bitcoin from companies that immediately convert them, and this is a new business opportunity for banks to profit.

I hope everyone using BitPay switches to 100% Bitcoin, or at least the vast majority of funds to Bitcoin only (the only exceptions being funds in fiat to pay whatever they cannot pay in Bitcoin, yet).

Can't blockchain load through Safari? I don't think there are iOS 6 wallets... Unfortunately you'll have to upgrade your device to have apps.
2814  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2015-06-20]DMT - Browser Plug-in AdBlock Now Supports Bitcoin Donations on: June 20, 2015, 05:36:25 PM
Unfortunately I can't seem to find the Bitcoin option... Other are having the same issue on Reddit. Too bad. I was going to give them a few bits.

I am more amazed that they opted for Stripe to be their Bitcoin payment processor, rather than BitPay or Coinbase.

It's got a huge user base, so it would grab some attention, I am just not sure it would make a huge difference.

When big anti-virus companies like Kaspersky / Norton / McAfee start accepting Bitcoin, I would be more impressed. I hate to pay for renewals with the non-Bitcoin methods.

It's a good start, but it has little impact.  Wink

What an epic idea! I'd surely go back to Kaspersky if they accepted Bitcoin.
2815  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: blockchain private key on: June 20, 2015, 05:28:59 PM
When i add a new wallet to my blockchain, they just give me an address, they just give me another address, they dont give me the private key for it, if i lose my identifier and i cant login to blockchain,how do I get back my money? can i use the private key of the original address and import the details to another client?

Yes, the private key can be used to import funds on another client.
2816  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [POLL] Bitcoin is just like as a Swiss Bank Acc for holding black money ?? on: June 20, 2015, 05:27:08 PM
2nd and fifth option. I voted the second. Bitcoin is obviously more secure than any offering a bank can have. But the same applied for "white" money. It's not because it's black that it's going to be more secure...

When customer data is leaking out of swiss banks, Bitcoin is obviously more secure, no question about that. It's also a much better and much different option to conventional banking.
2817  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Ultimate Bitcoin Stress Test - Monday June 22nd - 13:00 GMT on: June 20, 2015, 05:23:54 PM
This is an interesting test, and I'll be waiting for numbers if you actually do it... But I question myself if the chaos that this test will, in theory, provoke will justify the results obtained!
2818  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Executive Says 21 Million Cap Increase Inevitable on: June 20, 2015, 05:19:55 PM
I stopped reading at "Bitcoin Foundation". They can say whatever they want about Bitcoin, as they have nothing to lose... If he thinks the coin cap will be raised, he's out of his mind.
2819  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: address is gone on: June 19, 2015, 10:31:05 PM
OP, have you scanned you computer for possible exploits? Have you confirmed that the address wasn't changed during copy+paste?
2820  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Has the Darkwallet project stopped? on: June 19, 2015, 10:27:49 PM
Their absence has been discussed around here a few weeks ago. As far as I could gather there is a mix of lack of interest and short funding for the project... which probably led to a lack of motivation.

They'll probably be back soon anyways, or someone will take it from where they left Smiley
I don't understand why there would be a lack of interest. If Bitcoin needs something before hitting mainstream is privacy. If people took privacy more serious when they were designing the TCP/IP protocols we wouldn't be in the NSA type mess we are at today and all those big problems could have been avoided. We need more than pseudoanonimity before Bitcoin makes it beyond the geek/VC money circles.

Partly agree. More privacy would be cool, but not a necessity for many people, me included Smiley More privacy sometimes means extra means to achieve it, and some people aren't willing to go further than their current privacy procedures.

I don't mind if people search all my addresses, they won't find anything compromising Cheesy Definitely not using a different wallet just to be more hidden from public eye. That's why there is a lack of interest... from the 100% of Bitcoin users, the interest is only huge in 10%... The rest doesn't has such a big interest or they simply don't want/need DarkWallet.
