Isn't stability what we want for Bitcoin?
Now it's pretty easy to price things in BTC and the price won't change before a sale is completed.
It seems that's pretty good for merchants.
No, we don't want this stability. Stability=bitcoin economy is not growing So this is the ending game of bitcoin? No more expansion? ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif)

People have been predicting this kind of thing for a long time. Society will route around problems. Things might get turbulent, but it's unlikely to get anywhere nears as bad as "the end of finance" or "the end of the world". IOW, chill the fuck out.

Having full nodes easy to setup and run is a good idea, because it would means more people running them

I will try to ignore negative remarks from negative people as much as possible. It's just not worth it. Scam confirmed ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

C'mon guys, the problem is not the download speed
The problem is verifying the blocks. Check how much your hard disk is working, it's checking everything and it is the bottleneck.
On a SSD it would be much more faster

It's not a downloading limit
You have no p2p limit, stay calm
It takes age to get the blockchain cause it verify each block. Check the hard drive usage, it will be using the hard disk like hell while getting the blockchain. The limit is the hard disk speed, not the internet connection. With a SSD it would be much more faster. If you setup a RAM disk it would be muuuuch faster

I run a node when my pc is on, it's easy and fast, dunno why more ppl don't do that.

Nonsense. With the loan you bough REAL things.

Yeah nice stop paying so when something bad happens to you you will be fucked. Or maybe you will do like that father who went in a hospital with a pistol to have help for his son who required medical assistance (but since they were poor and could not pay the insurance, no help for you, you poor, you die)

BitCoin does not offer all the things that some people want. It's not anonymous. It's traceable by design. It's online. It requires authentications, which takes a while.
There's lots of different properties one can want in a currency that BitCoin doesn't provide, and it's probably impossible to make a currency that matches EVERY wish EVERY person on earth has. States try that with fiat currencies and fail.
Yes but the alternative cryptocurrencies are like clones of bitcoin with another name. So they share all the problems of bitcoin and fix nothing Then there is scamcoin, also know as microscam, wich is just a scam.

It's my impression that these alternatives were only introduced by people who would like to be early adopters themselves, hoping to see their stack of virtual coins (which are cheap or free to obtain in the early stages) booming just like BTC. Or am I mistaken? No, you are right.

Nice job! Good luck for the government to limit how much bitcoins someone can have

Isn't the satoshi client portable? I mean, if you put the client and the blockchain on the usb drive it should work without problems. You have to put in the parameters to tell it to use the blockchain on the usb drive but except that it should work...
