"Bitcoin may be doomed to failure as the blockchain struggles to scale up; Professor Ross Anderson from the University of Cambridge explains."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2XHyzPA9ZcI think this Professor Anderson an "expert in the financial word and technology"  needs some more information as it seems he is not up to date. Also read through the comment section when you have some time left. Maybe write yourself a few lines as some clarrifications seem to be needed due to missunderstanding or lack of informations. Thanks guys. Firstly its just an opinion. If bitcoin can not scale it will indeed not become the global currency. Well, maybe it does not need to be the global currency to be successful. Maybe it can scale. The "bitcoin will not be used to pay your coffee" is not an uncommon opinion. I dont recommend anyone wasting their time in the youtube comment section. If someone is interested in bitcoin they will find other means to get good information anyway. |

What can you tell me about those campaigns for newbies? This is little shady and fishy for me? What do you recommend? yellowcat has updated his thread which mentioned that participants should be at least Jr. Member to participate. Btw he got many negative feedbacks. I dont think we will see much from the user anymore. I removed the campaign -> http://pastebin.com/uHswgyU5 |

I'm just thinking of how does blockchain gets delays from took 10-30 minutes or more since blockchain has an automated script.. Do they check each bitcoin transaction manually or something??
Mining (finding block that confirms transactions) is a random process. It takes 10 minutes on average, but it can be faster or take more time. The check whether the transactions are valid or not does not take that long. |

Okay I can't hold myself back if you wanna start a meme war and not deal with this quite professionally.Here's one for you [ img]https://i.imgur.com/Eay4zom.jpg[/img] [ img]https://i.imgur.com/KLyA6.jpg[/img] Another canadian youngster gone bad. Maybe you should have done a OCSP instead of collecting failed domains redirecting to porn for a few redirect cents. |

Coinig is broken I wouldnt recommend using it. If you want to avoid core connecting to another node add the following line to your bitcoin.conf[1] file (create it in your ~/.bitcoin (linux) or %APPDATA%/Bitcoin (windows) folder if needed) connect=127.0.0.1:8333 #forces a single connection to localhost keeping core offline, remove line to connect to other nodes.

Ob ein full node auch eine vollständige Kopie der Blockchain haben muss kann man diskutieren.
Wieso? Ich finde, darüber kann man nicht diskutieren. Ich bin der Meinung, einen full node macht es aus, dass er eine full blockchain vorhält, in der alle Transaktionen (und zwar von ihm selbst veirifiziert) vorliegen. Was sonst macht einen full node aus? Dann ist bitcoin core, mit "pruned=was_auch_immer" kein full node mehr. Es gibt unterschiedliche Definitionen von full node und die einzige die meiner Meinung nach Sinn macht ist: "verifiziert alles selber" (fully verified) man muss sich also nicht auf Auskünfte von verlassen können. Dafür ist es aber nicht nötig alles aufzugeben. Als pruned node kann man entsprechend auch (noch) keine alten Blöcke zum download bereit stellen. Andere wieder sehen nur als Full node was auch externe Verbindungen zulässt. |

Personally I enjoy my bitcoin Trezor and use it to store about 10 BTC, the rest is stored offline in paper wallets. Also have some in my phone as well.
Thing is to keep small amounts in many places to reduce chances of anything to happen, at least to a consistent part of your capital.
Trezor? Is that an online wallet? Its a hardware wallet -> https://www.bitcointrezor.com/Well me I use Electrum. Fast, easy, intuitive. And the most important part: you get your private keys ^^
You can use trezor with electrum so your private keys would be safe even if your computer was infected. Pretty neat things these hardware wallets. |

Wow for the first time I have seen a transaction as double spend.
Anyways what will happen to the bitcoins and what about this transaction?? Will this transaction vanish and it will look like it never happened or something else.
The transaction will likely get rejected and will vanish in time while the satoshi will be returned to the sender's wallet. No, the double spend that was not confirmed is invalid. It is however a double spend because the coins have been used elsewhere so there will be nothing returned. |

Until you establish that synthbot was indeed his alt, don't expect any help from DT members. Might have been a rare coincidence after all, that someone guessed a number and had something to do IRL.
Yes,that's why I made the thread in Reputation and not in Scam accusations.Yes there could be a coincidence but unless the user comes off clean by justifying the giveaway's winner and showing the transactions proof I doubt any of it would makes sense. Smells really bad, tagged. Some archives: https://archive.is/PJwHS (closed thread) https://archive.is/F2Qxh (2nd thread, still running) |

My bad on the date. The feedback will stay until you prove the money was paid. If the user never logs back in to claim it will look very fishy IMO. Pay the contest and feedback will be removed
You are doing nothing but tarnishing your own reputation and more importantly your own word by giving negative reputation based on no evidence. This is one of the most paranoid communities. If you want to be considered reputable you need to make sure there are no open questions with things like these. Currently I see the following unanswered questions (I might have missed the answers though, because I only skimmed the thread): - How did you pick the winning number? - Can you proof in some way that you could not have altered the winning number after you knew the names of the participants for each number? - What is the TX ID for the payout? Yes, I am aware that you have trouble to contact the winner. Oh and... 017
you should probably edit the OP (and title) to state that the giveaway is over. Archive of the current OP: https://archive.is/DZDwQ |

Escrow won't be used, Given the nature of this service i believe escrow would just complicate things too much. On a side note every time a payout is made it will be posted in this thread.
-snip-
Not sure why you think escrow would complicate things. Typically an escrow would just hold a specific amount to make sure participants are not paid. E.g. if you allow a maximum of 20 participants and wanted to cover 2 weeks you would transfer 20*2*0.002567 = 0.10268 + escrow fee (if any) + expected fees to pay participants if needed (44k satoshi - 74k satoshi) to an escrow agent and continue the way you would otherwise. Its pretty unusual that escrow would issue payments unless there is an issue. |

Jet Cash this has more to do with permissions you have on the phone. I had all kinds of garbage wanting to upgrade that where connected to google and did not want. It took a well to cancel them but worth it. Only issue is when you need to use any google product it wants you to upgrade everything.
You know updates are not bad for you, right? Its the way developers close vulnerabilities, among other things. I know but I did not want google hangouts tracking me. Google would not allow me to use any other features till I activated it at first. I never had that problem. I had hangouts disabled for years up until a few months ago when I needed it for someone. I disabled it once I no longer needed it and Im never asked to update it. |

In google chrome the site looks messed up, the menu and header are over lapping, also the links do not seem to work. It is too basic.
I haven't tested it in chrome yet. I am mostly a Firefox person. A simple bit of code can fix that. EDIT:  You're probably using a low resolution monitor btw the picture is here -> http://s29.postimg.org/esehpdct2/tmwdmodern.jpgYou cant use the img tag with a folder or page. Site looks fine, but its one I wouldnt visit unless I absolutly have to because it requires JavaScript enabled to switch pages.  Edit: Menu isnt working with Chrome or FF (JavaScript enabled) either. |

Next time I will not use the App to send bitcoins...it sets automatically 10k satoshi as a fee and it seems that I can't adjust it  You can adjust it by going to custom send and set the fee by yourself. I knew that blockchain.info automatically sets the recommended fee. The only problem you've had is that transaction have too many inputs. Thats exactly the problem. There is no more recommended fee that is independant of the TX size in bytes. |

I know that Theymos changed Mitchell's username to Mitchell, but that was probably because he was promoted to mod and got the chance.
Staff members can change their names as many times (I think) as they want. Just ask Shorena.  Is that an inside joke or something? Shorena isn't a staff member (I think), right? Or am I missing something? XD I may or may not know what Lauda aka LaudaM aka -REDACTED- is refering to. I am pretty sure though that staff has the same privileges as VIP and/or donator and that they can change their name freely without asking for permission from theymos. I also know that neither the userid nor the login name is changed and that the name in question can not be taken by another user. I asked the OP how and why, because I have seen theymos grant small changes (in terms of Hamming distance if you will). |

I had installed bitcoin in c:\bitcoin however C disk has run out of space and I moved blocks to other HDD.
bitcoin core does not load wallet.dat that I have stored in c:\bitcoin
Instead it creates new wallet.dat file in datadir (E:\bitcoin)
Is it possible/how to get bitcoin core to load original wallet.dat ?
I really do not wish to just place wallet.dat in E:\bitcoin (unencripted HDD).
No, the wallet.dat can have a different name with -wallet=mywallethasanicebutlongname.dat, but it must in the same directory as -datadir=here. Bitcoin core wallet files are encrypted (the private keys at least) with your password and offer decent brute force resistance. What exactly are you worried about? |
