Two days ago in Italy they arrested a person who converted to Islam and was planning an attack on the synagogue of Milan
Then they found a group of people recently converted to Islam that were contacting Al Quaeda and other terrorist organizations and organizing trainings in places like Iraq, Pakistan or Afghanistan

I like the idea that a bitcoin startup got funding but it is a bad idea. 

Making games is all about content.  If they make the next angry birds it will not matter if it is mining in the background or not.  They would make more money from ads or added cost in game content (hopefully paid with bitcoin).  If they make game that sucks, it will not matter that it mines or not.  There is nothing really new here and mining is so hard that the BANDWIDTH alone will make it not worth it on machines without GPU's. 

So it all boils down to... can they make a good game.  At least with this mining in the background business model.


I didn't know Farmville is a good game

But guess what? It has success

We are speaking about $$$, not about game quality. They can add the bitcoin mining to Farmville so players have ingame bonuses and everyone is happy for example.

I don't know what you guys are doing but p2pool is at 401Gh/s right now, and today was like always at 380-390



Keep up the good work!

It's a clever idea, automatic and seamless mining in exchange of ingame advantages.
You want that weapon? Nice, buy it, or pay the premium or... mine for some hours!

The BOINC project Donate@Home is basically bitcoin mining for GPUGRID but the user doesn't have to know what bitcoin is or how to mine, he just treats it like any other BOINC project and it works perfectly.

Interesting.
From the Gandhi quote i suppose we are in "they fight you" situation now, he didn't laugh at bitcoin saying "oh it is just a joke, it will soon disappear". No, he repelled the question at all.

Wow, great news!

Wurm Online is a nice game btw, a huge sandbox where you can build what you want and also "terraform" the world (dig, level etcetc the terrain, make hills, remove hills, plant trees, cut trees...etc)

No backup? Lol, time for us to laugh

People don't backup and then whine when something bad happens  ::)And no, backup is not only for btc, it is for everything so saying "but i tought bitcoin..." is not a valid reason.

Please don't mix "microcash" (=ScamCoin) with Bitcoin and Litecoin. Thank you.

Join p2pool, no fees, you receive transaction fees too, no trust required, no downtime

deepbit=so much fail
p2pool is probably among the last pool i'd join, among others.
You can't hop on p2pool  Cheesy

Inform yourself, read here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=77286.0

Apparently SolidCoin 3.0 is going to introduce a daily fee for each address you own that has a non-zero balance in order to reduce the total number of addresses in use:

Quote from: RealSolid
ne problem I saw with the SolidCoin v2 protocol is the fact that no one actually pays for any resources on the network besides transactions. Why is this a problem? Well every "address" or "account" actually consumes memory, disk space and processing power of all the running nodes. Then when someone does pay for a transaction, all the fees goes to the miner, when the truth is every node on the network has just as much burden when it comes to sending transactions and storing them. It is unfair.

Another problem was the fact that the system itself isn't self cleansing. That is to say, if someone sends 0.0001SC to a new account that account is there for life consuming resources with no purpose in a lot of cases (ie spam). So our solution to this is a decay and interest model. Here is how it works.

1) For every account (ie unique address) on the network, there is a small daily fee. (likely to be around 0.0025 SC or a quarter cent)
2) All the "decay fees" are added up and then given back to every account, depending upon their percentage of SolidCoin holdings. ie there are 2.8 million coins right now, if you have 28000 then you have 1% of all the SolidCoins and will get 1% of the daily account fees. So a certain amount of SC in your account will ensure you pay no daily fees.
3) Transaction fees won't go to the miners anymore but the same decay/interest model. This way everyone who is invested in SolidCoin benefits, including the miners, for including transactions
4) Once an account hits 0 it is removed from nodes memory, saving them CPU and MEMORY usage. It can of course come back if that user decides to later use it.

It's important to realize that you only need a single account now due to our improved transactions, so the only reason you'll want to use more accounts is for anonymity or other personal purposes.

RealSolid is also planning to introduce exponentially increasing fees for accounts that haven't been touched in over 6 months in order to quickly redistribute the funds to active users:

Quote from: RealSolid
We will definitely be implementing a dead account acceleration , currently it's planned that if you don't use an account for 6 months, every month after that the fee doubles and interest stops. So by month 12 of inactivity, the fee is still only 4.8 per month, by month 21 of inactivity, the monthly fee is ~2400 . So even if you go away for 12 months on a large account, you're not going to lose any money, you'll have gained due to the first 6 months interest. Probably even by 18 months you'll still be in positive territory. But after that it quickly recycle any dead accounts and everyone benefits.

So if you stick some SolidCoin savings on a USB stick in a bank vault for a few years, they'll be gone by the time you come to collect them. If my math's right, you could have nearly all the SolidCoins in existence in your account and it'd still only take 36 months of account inactivity for it to be totally emptied through fees.

Another good question. I suppose not, it was just an arab territory, of course not everyone was a religious person.
