Of course, far more illicit goods dealers prefer dollar bills.

Just switch your client to report values in mBTC.  Done.
Hey I am selling this steam game for 2,000 mBTC.  Anyone want it?

To change the value of Bitcoin would require increasing the supply (i.e. turn every BTC into 10 BTC).  That is simply never going to happen.  Not today, not next year, not ever.  While in theory it "could" happen (any change could be made to Bitcoin with enough of a consensus) you will never find the consensus necessary.

What bugs me is the Hash power that they are introducing. 3 gh/s & 40 GH/s (no problem) but why is the next step a 1TH/s. Shouldn't or wouldn't make sense to come out with like an upgradable 250GH/s unit?

You would think they would start a little smaller (250GH/s upgradeable) and sell a bunch of those then move up in size a little bit (Just like with the rest of the computer industry)Then maybe two-three years down the road move up to the 1TH/s. There's no acceleration here, it's either stopped or WFO.

Seems like to me introducing this much speed will pretty much eliminate ALL the small guy's. By small I mean anything under 100Gh/s. I would think this will basically shoot them in the foot and they will realize what i'm talking about once everything is on the market and people are plugged in. Start small and work your way there. Don't go from ground floor to the 13th floor all at once. That's my 2 bits thanks for letting me vent.

I am not a significantly high rated player, if I was I would probably set this service up and get a lot of visitors, as titled players attract a lot of people automatically.
I got 1600 FIDE.

However I do have a rather unique perspective on chess.
Anyway I am always up for playing chess.
I do play at FICS occationally (linuxfreak) and chess.com

There has been 0 proof from any of these so called ASIC developers. Each time the community shouts at one to show their hand, they bitch on how the other groups havent shown theirs. So we end up starting back at square one, with these groups charging an arm and leg for their units which don't technically exists yet except in concept.

And yet, people all over these forums are throwing tens of thousands of their hard earned dollars into a product nobody is willing to demonstrate.

The am is within my writing style. I will stand by it.

As for the commas, they are oxford commas. The conjunctions already serve the same purpose. Adding commas in those places would be redundant and pedantic.

Explain this error to me because I am still confident it isn't an error at all.

I have seen several websites I use, email, Bitcoin, bank, etc. that use Yubi keys, which I do not have. Can I get one Yubi key for all these services? I'm hoping I don't need to get one for each! Thanks in advance.

I can specialize in Bitcoins and Political subject matter, but I will adapt to any topic provided. Whether it be research or fiction, I am willing to cover almost anything.

If you're interested, PM me with the job description, along with your ideal price, and I will get back to you within the day. You will only have to pay for work you are satisfied with.

Godspeed.

I think you're over thinking this...

Physical security is always going to be easier to enforce than digital security. What you ought to do is physically protect the data storage device of the virtual machine your wallet is on (slap that puppy on an SSD and boot it via hyper-v) - keep the block chain updated on the host OS. Then all you have to secure is the room where you store the safe that the drives in.

if you'd rather not secure it yourself - then I'm sure you could figure something out using a bank computer and bootable USB device that you store in a safety deposit box. Or just a laptop that you bring in with you - drop in ssd - etc.

Personally, I'd just setup a few hosted vms that I could access via vpn and be done with it. The weak point in this sort of home invasion thing is always going to be threats towards you or someone you care about. If you've got the keys - and can be convinced to give them to someone... it doesn't matter how secure your setup is. The plus side of all this, you could code something for the vm you're using to ditch your coin to cold storage if you don't follow procedure aka giving you the option to pay them or not without them knowing. Of course, it would all come out in the block chain.

You really need to get off the "it's not real money, so no one will care" bandwagon. Your SA id is really showing.

Okay, I should have been more accurate in forming my thought.
Besides, just storage... there is bandwidth, HD (device speed), probably RAM is somehow also intertwined to search the transaction history, etc...

Now suppose that those 95% of miners decide that, because this isn't good enough, they should each dedicate 10% of their hashrate to preventing any transactions from being confirmed in the other chain by mining empty blocks and refusing to build on any block that isn't empty. (On the surface this would seem to run into the usual problems associated with collective action, but there are clever ways they could enforce this rule.) Suddenly you can't make any transactions with the original Bitcoin blockchain anymore.

That's too broad of a statement to bet against.

They might deliver "something" after a long wait and much rage, but it will be nowhere near the specs listed on the sales page. (which in itself will cause a shitstorm like no other on these forums)

Im calling it now, the ASIC scams will total a value larger then the pirate heist.
