But people make legitimate mistakes, what if grandma accidentally presses the wrong key because her glasses has a bit of much on it or her hand shakes a little. We do have a social responsibility to make things fair to everyone. I've been in IT for 28 years and I still make mistakes. In trading they have the "Fat finger" when a trader accidentally presses the wrong key, they still can reverse and fix it.  Whatever coin can solve this dilemma will end up the winner.
What if grandma burn her money?  Roll Eyes

There is a nice dogecoin client, why didn't you use it? Online wallets where the website has your private keys are always very dangerous.

Buying an SSD will make BF4 load much faster. And will make your general pc using experience much better. So yes, get an SSD  Cheesy

On a side note, that's why early adopters are rewarded. It is not "luck" because we found out about bitcoin before other people. It is because we aren't the people that believe that removing a sticker stop the pc from working  Cheesy

You underestimate the idiocy of people

Once in class we wrote a paper with the school laptops. The laptop had a intel inside sticker what was curved on one of the corners so it hit my arm arm all the time annoingly. I was taking ut off and the teacher said:"Stop! It is there for a reason. The computer might not work without it. Im pretty sure the principal wont like it if we take it off without asking." Really wanted to take it off. But didnt want detention (yeah she threatened me with detention if i took it off.)

And you expect these people to use bitcoin?  No way they can understand it.

The good thing? We don't need them. Its their fault if they don't want to learn how to use it.

Minimum requirements mean the game run, nothing more, just run.  Cheesy

No one will bother to gain 51%. The argument is simple. the 51% is the self-destruct button. They destroy the bitcoin system and they destroy themselves. Why sink the ship when they are onboard the ship?

Well, unless they are NSA.
Exactly, unless they are NSA, any government, any bank, any company wich don't want bitcoin... They have the perfect self-destruct button to fix the bitcoin problem.

I was wondering what would happen if miners couldn't keep up with the blockchain difficulty.. Does that mean transactions will take longer to get confirmed?  Grin
Please learn what difficulty is before wondering about inexistent things https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Difficulty

Please note that "difficulty" is not a bad thing like your posts are implying. "mining coins" is just a temporary thing to put bitcoins in circulation, mining is there for security purpose. The higher the difficulty=the higher the security wich is a GOOD thing.

The attacker can’t:

    Reverse other people’s transactions
    Send coins that never belonged to him
Actually YES HE CAN. He can rewrite the whole blockchain so
1)He can delete other transactions, it will be like they never existed
2)He can go back in the blockchain and make it that the coins were mined by him. Thus he has these coins, not other people, so yes he can now send these coins to who he want, or just keep them. Oh and yes if you mined that coins/received them you lose them.

A 51% attack is catastrophic. Sure, if used in a such obvious way the bitcoin value will just plummet to 0. But it can be used in a more insidious way, just modify some transactions because someone 'paid' you for that... corruption...

Welcome

I would have to copy-paste the bitcoin wiki to explain that, that's why i linked it. I know, it is not easy, but that's how it works

What matter is that new people reading this thread understand what is right and what is wrong.

But I thought the mining algorithm only kept getting harder due to increasing blockchain size. So if you remove stuff it screws with the system.
False.

This thread: someone who has no idea about how a cryptocurrency work is wasting bits and bandwidth. Lol "the devs" is like "please close the coin servers!"
