considering both I and satoshi has posted on this forum, I would say I have a satoshi number of 1.
Has Satoshi replied to you? Who knows. For all I know, satoshi is my father. Or cousin. Or... well, you get the point. So I'm going to be optimistic and tentatively put myself at a satoshi number of 1  That's not the way it works. |

If theymo has a Satoshi numer of 1 because of direct comunication wih him and theymos answered one of my post in the past, what Satoshi number would i have, 2?
If you in turn reply to my post would that not change my Satoshi number again?
For this number, your nearest relationship with Satoshi is the one that counts. If you're already 2, then you remain 2 until you get 1 (by talking to Satoshi by yourself). |

This is rude. Either reply with an answer or don't reply at all. |

I just want to know why we would like to have bitcoin day when we don't even have something like Dollar day or Euro day anyway?
Because we're trying to raise awareness of Bitcoin, not of Euro or Dollar, which everyone already know. |

Plus Op is no offering any sort of compensation payment for this 'job' either.
But they're millionaires! How much more money do they need? |

Dam it! I've been working on a similar project, which i was calling the 10,000 node project. www.10000nodes.comBeen interested in seeing how this product does. Have you made an announcement on your own? So that I don't go off topic here. |

if you wear that shirt, 100% will be puzzled if you're not holding a crackpipe
How often do you see someone with a dollar bill on their shirt? I'd be more baffled if he had "buy government bonds, support your country!" written there.  Not very often, but dollar shirts certainly do exist: http://www.cafepress.com/+dollar-bill+t-shirts |

Those are tongue-twisters for me :S

You are essentially asking to find someone who would not accept money despite them finding it ethical for them to receive it for what they are providing.
What if there are people who don't find it ethical? |

Supposing the blockchain is 30-ish GB; how many copies of the blockchain are in existence, and need to be in existance, in order to make sure the transactions in the block chain are secure?
I don't know. I personally think the current nodes are more than enough, but I don't have any basis for that claim. Is this the most redundant system ever built?
Yes, I believe so. Or at least it aims to be. |

What type of transaction is this?
- snip -
Just a regular bitcoin transaction. There is nothing special or unusual about it. I would say there is something odd. Why are there two outputs to the same address? |

I feel like inventions that take away jobs are bad,
Then you sure hate everything that came from the Industrial Revolution, even if you benefit from it right now. |

This thread is in the “New forum software” section, right? Then, why don't we pick the IMs to include from scratch, rather than depend on choices made for a years old software?

If its not about Stellar, can you make sure to remove the Bright Red Text marked "Stellar" Seems like your advertising that consensus protocol over Bitcoins.
I emphasized it intentionally so readers won't be confused by thinking that it's about Bitcoin. So it's NOT about Bitcoin. It doesn't belong in the Bitcoin Discussion subforum. |

What happens if I'm a new node that just finished syncing, and receive a 20-min block with reduced difficulty? I have no way to know an agreement has happened, and will reject the block.
So? You'd be one node of the thousands... you're rejection should have no bearing on what the other nodes do... That means that if your proposal was accepted right now, there would only ever be 7118 nodes for ever and ever. No new node will be able to join because they see an invalid blockchain. once the other nodes confirm the block and a subsequent one, would your node not then accept it as being part of the chain and move on? Seems highly illogical and a major flaw in the design if it wouldn't.
Highly illogical? It's the other way round. A node shouldn't care what the other nodes do, it should be able to validate the blockchain on its own. If not, then we start to add trust to the system, which is precisely what Bitcoin is designed not to need. |

I understand how mining supports the network. Each device hashing away incrementally adds to the total number of hashes executed per second.
But how does a node such as this support the network. Especially when it runs on such underpowered hardware?
It supports the network by storing and broadcasting the blockchain, making it even more difficult for it to be tampered or lost. |

Don't get me wrong, it's certainly a potentially useful device for power users who know Linux if it's fully user-controllable, but I'd disagree with anyone stating that it's a great way for Joe-Schmoe to contribute to the network.
Yeah, but who's stating that average Joe will be using these things? The fact that somebody would like to support the Bitcoin network already means they are a Bitcoin fanatic, and therefore will know at least the basics of what owning this device implies. |

What should happen is if a block takes more than 15 minutes to find, the difficulty should temporarily plunge.
Also, how can that be implemented without a central time server? Does each node not have the time of the last block? When the clock on each node is over 15 minutes from the last block, send out a request to other nodes to confirm that they too agree it's been over 15 minutes, if there is a consensus among say 60% of the nodes that the time since the last block was over 15 minutes, then temporarily reduce the difficulty until the next block is found; then it goes back up to where it was. What happens if I'm a new node that just finished syncing, and receive a 20-min block with reduced difficulty? I have no way to know an agreement has happened, and will reject the block. |
