What would something like this mean to Mt. Gox?
It would be a good start. Probably not noticeable at first but everything has to start somewhere. |

There will be a corporate reserve accept/reject node that will sign all blocks and return them back to the network.
I don't get this part. What is the point of miners if every block needs to go through a centralized authority node? Indeed, just do with CH did and just ditch the mining part if you are just gonna be controlling every block in the end anyway. |

Correct me if I wrong, but that ain't no pussy magnet. That ass has a big cat, that cat has a big ass. Goatse, the feline version. |

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=statsWell you can get exact numbers here, (most online at a time) 230 in Feb/2011, 580 in Feb/2012. But that's only two days into February so far, January was 739 (up from 303 in 2011). So February will likely be 800-900+. The other stats look pretty encouraging too. You can definitely see the trend following the exchange rate as well, bottoming in Nov/Dec with a steady increase since.

My understanding is that those BIPs can lead to miners accidentally making blocks that won't be accepted. Users don't need to get a new version.
Even once multisig transactions are getting put into blocks??? I'm confused because you are sorta telling me it goes both ways, users can reject blocks found under invalid rules but they also wont reject blocks with multisig transactions even if they aren't updated.. It's called backwards compatibility. |

Depending on what rule changes you are talking about it doesn't matter if 95% of miners choose to switch to say 50BTC reward forever. The power is with the merchants to reject the false coins. Please explain to me how they can do that? They just keep running the code they've been running. It will reject the 'bad' blockchain being produced by 95% of the miners, and accept the 'good' chain being produced by the other 5%. I thought the merchants only sent and received transactions and had nothing to do with the blockchain unless they were miners themselves? EDIT: Also my initial argument was that due to how the system is designed it will eventually lead to a really small minority control 100% of miners and when the switch happens it would be 100% of miners not 95%, what then? Obviously your own non-mining client can tell what is and isn't an actual Bitcoin transaction, that's how you know you've been paid even before a tx gets in a block. The tx has to have a history that leads back to a valid generation, has to be signed correctly etc. Yes I understand. They check the blockchain.. But how can they tell which blocks in the chain are legitimate? If the small minority of miners changes to new rules unanimously, there wont be a fork and everyone will be forced to use the same longest blockchain now being generated under new rules. So how then does a client reject a transaction that is in the blockchain it uses I ask? They can tell its legitimate because its in the blockchain in the first place, that means a miner produced it according to the rules of the bitcoin network. If whatever percentage of miners decided to change the rules, they are NO LONGER recognized by the blockchain, they simply dont exist as far as the bitcoin network is concerned. |

If you want weapons in USA you just go in a shop and buy whatever you want...
Then the question is: who needs overpriced guns from SR when normal people can buy guns in the US freely? Felons and people who don't want paper trails. If you want weapons in USA you just go in a shop and buy whatever you want...
Yep, we got that part right at least. |

Females will start being more "into" Bitcoin, when they are worth a bit more lol.
Or, if they started receiving them as gifts. Valentine's Day is coming up. Yeah, if I wanted to get stabbed in my sleep. |

I think you need to go ahead with what you got. Postponing won't be helpful I think, may even make your mag seem like old news before it even comes out. Besides it may give you some more experience before you hit the brick and mortar stores.
"Oh that mag I heard about so long ago? Gosh nobody has even talked about it, bet it was terrible. Or canceled."
"Or Matthew is locked in a basement in Texas by an unremorseful fanatic."
