To keep this on topic about Bitcoin, I'd point out thamericandreamfilm.com seems to have come about in 2010, when Bitcoin was still in its infancy...
There was a thread titled "what does Bitcoin mean to you" where someone replied "peaceful resistance".
It would be interesting to see how Bitcoin and cryptocurrency might have been added to this video as a way of resisting the bankers.
I don't know if the authors of the video are willing to do it but here is some info that might be useful: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=509725.0 |

Videos like this and people understanding that the system, the government and the taxes are not here to help them is making me optimistic It will go way worse before it is better though This video is nice as well : The STORY of your enslavement : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xbp6umQT58ANice video. Completely true. But I have found one small "thing" about it. The narrator doesn't keep it interesting. Look at this guy and compare https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFDe5kUUyT0EDIT: BTW was the guy in the first scene the geezer that was playing Hercules in the series? |

Is there a way to delete transaction history?
yes and no. if you want "clear" the transaction history of bitcoin-QT ... you can send sum of bitcoin to your android wallet. delete wallet.dat restart bitcoin-QT encrypt the new wallet restart bitcoin-QT test to create a new receive adress (to verifiy the password ...) and then, tranfer the sum of bitcoin from the android wallet to the bitcoin-QT new wallet. i do this every month to have no more than 10-15 line in bitcoin-QT. and no, you can't delete the history in the "blockchain" worldwide bitcoin network. It would be an interesting new feature. Just export your transactions in a certain format and then delete the history. |

F*cking liars. As already done a lot of times before, the fat rat will keep lying until there s no escape. Press the bastard! This guy deserves death, after paying every penny back. Silk Road guys must be on stalk ;-P Everybody is still waiting, just in the hope of getting their money back... Fuckarpeles better get some Magic The Gathering out of the hat or be prepared to meet the Lord.
Did you lose money on SilkRoad? Why did you mention it? |

Also, even a 1 minute delay would be too long to wait in many situations. Especially as that would be the average and some confirmations would take longer. When I'm paying by credit card at a supermarket, if it takes as much as 10 seconds it annoys me. When I've finished and paid I don't want to hang around, waiting. So faster confirmation times don't really help unless they are a lot faster, like 50 times faster.
(I don't know whether Satoshi made this point, and don't much care.)
I still don't understand why some people don't get it. Just like you pay dollars with your credit card at the supermarket you will be paying with BTC with the same transaction time. The "intermediary" will confirm you have enough coins in your account and make the transaction. The merchant will ONLY have to wait 10 minutes to get his coins. Simple. And with Bitcoin, the intermediary can be the vendor himself, so they don't have to pay Visa to do that for them. If Wal-Mart accepted bitcoins at the counter, they could manage transaction validity checks just fine without hiring some outside contractor. Sorry maybe I didn't make myself clear. What I meant is that BTC credit cards are already out there (neo-bee). Which means that they are the intermediary to do this check and release payment. The OP's point that it is not as fast as credit cards. But that is wrong. It all depends on what kind of information you want to give from now on I suppose |

OK, here's a question (or two):
Is he going to return those coins or refund them as fiat?
And at what price? Gox price?

I Love BTC, but any honest look has to reveal that the transactions take WAY to long.
Did Satoshi ever comment on why he used ~10 minutes per block and/or did he consider a much lower number?
If he did, I haven't seen it before.
this exact question was asked a cople weeks ago.. so again imagine 5 years ago satosi seen banking does things in 3-5 days and originally came up with a concept of bitcoins confirming in 30 minutes.. a bit of debate ensued and every agred on 10 minutes. now imagine if today bitcoin was invented (instead of 2009). and the confirm time was agreed as 2 minutes... in 5 years time your future successor would be on a forum complaining that 2 minutes is a long time and you want a 40 second confirm time. now imagine if in 5 years time bitcoin was invented (instead of 2009) with a 40 second confirm time.. your successor would complain and want a 8 second confirm time, blah etc blah... endless loop of arguements Correct! That would also probably mean that Bitcoins will be mined sooner than expected. |

You can compare it to a creditcard payment, the transaction takes places almost instantly.
With a creditcard sweeping your card only confirms you have the funds to pay, but the actual payment is done days later and can be charged back up to 90 days.
If you're trading for a lot of money waiting for a couple confirmations is in fact really short comparing it to other payment methods.
^^^^ What he/she said. Bitcoin is the fastest electronic payment protocol in existence. |
