0 fees paid - why am I paying 0.01 fees on a 0.1btc transaction?
The main reason for that is to prevent transaction spam of course they also go to help pay costs. Before the fees people were sending thousands of tiny transactions back and forth to themselves for an unknown reason.

Speaking about high end smartphones, there is the Samsung Galaxy S II with Android that is better than the "iphone"
Some of the hardware is better but most what is sold is not. The OS is clunkier but has more features and options. The quality of the app store for Android is worse then the iPhone.

nah, we may see a little selloff, but the stock wont crash. apple still has the mobile, tablet and mp3 player markets cornered; they have a moat that will be hard to cross, they are highly profitable, and they have a SHITLOAD of reserve cash.
that still says "buy" to me.
besides, investors have known about his failing health and heave expected him to step down for sometime now. Apple has already lost the mobile (and probably the tablet) battle to Android. Really? They make more profit then all of the other smartphone makers combined. The Iphone 4 was the top seller in 2010 and is looking like it will be for 2011 too. How are they loosing?

I also accept flexcoin, but there is no automation for my site. I sold for flexcoin at the convention and it was very fast and easy.

What merchants should use, only they should know! I use https://walletbit.comThey already have some modules done for opensource ecommerce platforms. With walletbit it looks like the customer NEEDS to have walletbit as well as me, the seller. Is this correct? That's correct. For me it suits me well, because i needed the module for a digital downloads shop, and using WalletBit, payments get confirmed instantly. If they accepted payments straight from the bitcoin client that wouldn't be possible at all. I think both walletbit and the opencart module are very nicely done but I can not rely on customers having walletbit. If I keep opencart up, I will put in the walletbit module so those members can pay with it directly.

I do not cash most of my stores sellings. I either keep them, or spend them in the bitcoin economy. My sales have been way down due to the loss of mybitcoin and the fact that still, no one has a merchant plugin for opencart that works for standard bitcoin addresses.
Well if you're a business and have finances, why not step up to the platform and offer to pay someone to do it? Else the "I'll just wait for someone else to do it" will be continued on by everyone and get us nowhere. I have personally talked to no less then three vendors who say they will have it shortly. Some were quoting being finished by this week. If something does not appear soon I will be going to magneto and my own server.

If you have extra bitcoin yourself let's say 200, you can put that in cold storage then only add when the customer storage exceeds that. Add in groupings to minimize trips.
If your business grows and has volume, many customer requests could be accommodated before you need a physical move to occur.

Are all the people that think Amsterdam is a bad location from the US or something?
No, they are trolls from the SA board. I'm from EU and yeah...never heard such crap. Amsterdam is fine, there is nothing wrong with weed or sex, and even if those things were bad it's still a great location, easily reachable from anywhere in Europe and the largest city in the Netherlands...
Seems like some people think the world revolves around America, and everything that their precious government says is correct.
Very few people think that, even from America. Most Americans think our government is crap. The majority of Americans are for the legalization of weed and simply love sex. There is a small (but vocal) minority that do not. I recommend you leave your sheltered pathetic little lives for some time and see the world from outside your little box, you will find that actually the rest of the world thinks the US is a joke and your not the center of the world.
I have traveled all over the world, including Amsterdam. Very few people think the US is a joke, and despite OUR STUPID GOVERNMENT they still want to come here. When in other countries, they complain about very similar things to what we do such as taxes, government waste and corruption, and the price of things.

When the easy prey dies off then we just take our strength, knowledge and numbers and begin hunting elephants. It's not even fun until that point, anyway Nice tusks, btw. Well written and gave me a chucle. But I do not think the anaolgy is correct. You started with the elephants and got em all, did the cows and pigs. Now you are on the sheep and running low. Hoping does make money now, but like mining will become less and less.

Anyone know of a service that you can buy junk silver coins, or 1 oz rounds for BTC?
I've seen one site, and the prices were so inflated (2.5x spot).
At the bitcoin conference, mybitcoinmint.com was selling 1oz for about 4.4 btc. I was told it was about 20% over spot, but looking online it seems to be even less of a markup. I bought. mybitcoinmint.com's website was not finished last time I checked.

I see no problem that forum whiners are on the bottom of Bruce's priority list. His concern is for the participants of the conference and it seems they're happy.
+1 I left very happy and excited for the future of bitcoin. There seems to be some (vocal) people who did not go, and are saying it did not meet their expectations. Ok. Great. You didn't go. You didn't help. You didn't pay. How much does Bruce really owe you?

From the Bitcoin conference site:History in the Making
Already, one of the largest television news networks in the world has told us they will be here broadcasting live. And, of course, OnlyOneTV.com global television network is sponsoring and hosting the event... so you can be sure that we will be broadcasting the entire event live as well.
Wall to Wall Major Global Media
Some of the media outlets who have said they will be here include:
CNN International Al Jazeera English Blomberg Television Wall Street Journal The New York Observer BusinessWeek Wired Magazine SmarterMoney NPR Forbes Fortune CNN / Money The Atlantic Radio Australia Freedomain Radio It's Monday. No coverage of this conference found in Google News or Bing News so far. Zero. Nothing. Not even a mention in major tech blogs. From the pictures of the event, it looks like about fifty people showed up. I think it was actually about 100 people. Pretty good for the first one! As for the news..... there is a big article coming out, should be extremely detailed and well researched.

Ray Kurzweil believes that the human brain is a 15 petaflop computer (though you wouldn't be be to model it with 15 petaflops) - according to bitcoin watch the network is running at about 165 petaflops. Could the bitcoin network ever display consciousness?
Easy answer: No. Long answer: The estimate of 15 petaflops is within the ballpark of what it takes to 'simulate' the human brain. The problem is the human brain is VERY different then a digital computer. In the brain you have billions of processing 'nodes' all running at a few hertz (like .5 to 4) compared to a cpu/gpu/shader running at hundreds of megahertz. The brain has each node DIRECTLY connected to millions of other nodes, where all of the processing nodes of a GPU are not connected directly in such a way. The only thing that the bitcoin network has is speed and size, but it does not have anything close to the right kind of connections. You would need all of the miners connected to some crazy fast local network, all in one room. And then finally, and most importantly, there is a 'special sauce' that consciousness happen. No one on the planet has a clue on that one.
