I don't think any discussion of Bitcoin development should be based on assumptions that it's important to listen to those with 56.6kbps modems. Bitcoin should not be designed around the lowest common denominator of technology, just to dictate that "everyone can run it."
It should be usable by most people, but there's no reason to get hung up about fringe use cases like 56.6 modems.
56.6 is a fringe case? You people want Bitcoin to replace all world currencies. Do you even know what the world looks like? How over 20% of the world live on less than a dollar per day? How 15% of the world do not even have access to running water? And you want them to employ bitcoin? Funny enough, I totally understand Hazek. Ultra-Randian as he is, he only cares about bitcoin benefiting his own mores. And that's good and fine, at least he's honest about it. But if you follow that route, know you're only just rebuilding exactly the same system as we already have, only the faces have changed. And then bitcoin becomes not so much about freeing the people from the restraints current economic and political structures forces upon them. It is about becoming the new arbiter of constraints oneself. It's about abolishing "dictatorship" to become the new dictator instead. It's about Iznogoud becoming "Calife A La Place Du Calife". It's about people being butt-hurt they can't succeed in the current environment wanting to become the God-Emperor of Dune. |

Hmm would it help prolong the life of my cards if I underclocked or throttled them? As I said I'm not looking to make a living out of this. if I can mine 1 bitcoin a month out of the two of them working together it will be good enough for me.
Yeah, no. Those two cards together get you like 400 Megahash/s IF they're perfectly configured and running overclocked. With ASICS coming online, tbcoins scenario is rather likely. So you'd be lucky getting 0,0001 coins a months. |

So you're a pimp. Do you have pimp cups and those cool purple hats?

How are you gonna run an upscale restaurant and bar if no one comes by to show off?  |

First of all, I have never said people should give their coins after they had them, I said that originally it should be equal share.
This is not the case here, the work is invented in purpose and could be avoided. In any case lets say that only 5 people willing to participate.the 1000 coins should be distributed between the 5 people that wanted to participate, each gets 200 coins. How will they decide the value of each coin? I think they will have to experiment with it until it's stabilized. later comes another one that wants to join, they can create him another 200 coins.
So how do you stop person #6 coming by and joining another time and another time and another time and a 50000th time in a pseudonymous environment? |

There's always Bulgaria. They don't have a government right now. You could go waltz right in there and declare it the Fiscal Republic of Bitcoinistan.

What about North Korea? They're decidedly anti-western. Well except for their leader's private entertainment, but otherwise? Decidedly anti-western.

You sound slightly uncivil. Wait riling up your nerves? Have a coke, relax. There's nothing to worry about. Everything's cool. No reasons to get all up in arms. It's not like, say, moderators are deleting posts of BFL customers asking where their ordered product is and... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=145479.0.... oh.... oh dear...  |

-we've got "pure bitcoin-based" multi-million dollar businesses (silkroad, satoshiDICE, mtGox,...)
Ah, yes, the multi-million dollar businesses: a black market and a casino. Yeah, that historically always went well. No really, it did, except for those that got their brains bashed in or got sunk in the Hudson or gunned down in the street. But: there's always new blood to take up the slack. |

The client in it's current state is not a viable option for most people to run as a node in the not too far future. Both bandwidth and space issues will only intensify with further acceptance of Bitcoin. Thus either the client has to change with all that entails (such as developer decided rules changes) or more and more people will have to stop running a full node, when it's no longer viable for them.
The sky is falling! Hard drive capacities are only 4TB and falling! Total internet bandwidth can only go down from here!  Congratulations on being part of the 1%. |

How so? I have a laptop with 1TB space, and the block size limit means there's max 55GB that can be added in a year on avg, so how could I not run a full node for at least 5 more years when I'm sure I'm going to upgrade my laptop by then and have even more disk space available? You're priviledged in your space and bandwith capacity. What about those not so lucky? Those on volume capped lines? What about Africa, where most people outside of major cities still connect via 56k dial-up if even? |

But my flux capacitor produced 1.2jiggawatts of bitcoin extrapolation data saying that bitcoin would hit $100USD at 2:17PM Central Time tomorrow!!!!
Captain, the engines won't make it! |

This, right here, is 'Service Announcement'. I don't think discussing the service belongs here.
Sounds like something a scammer would say.  |

Appreciation, good thoughts through the internets, and sunshine lollipops!
What flavor are these sunshine lollipops and in what quantity will we receive them? |

Hello Mike Mike from South Africa and welcome to the bitcointalking forums.
Just wanted to let you know of a small error with your site.
Your site says "Mycardshop 2009-2013 All Rights Reserved"
But GoDaddy says your domain was only registered a month ago...
I wonder what happened to GoDaddys database that they would list such an obviously wrong registration date?
Also your telephone number 123456789 does not seem to work. Do I need to dial something beforehand?
