The forum does not use UTF-8, or any other flavour of Unicode. It uses ISO-8859-1, or at least, that's how it serves its pages. Really? In 2013? |

tldr version:
Small block sizes so that only the friends of the miners get to have their transactions included in the blockchain. Everybody else has to go through regulatable gatekeeers.
Demurrage, a.k.a, your coins get stolen from you if you don't use it in a way the designers of Bitcoin 2 like
A cartel decides who can mine and who can't mine.
"We know that nobody sane will want to stay in this system once they figure out how it works, so we're going to force you to destroy your Bitcoin 1 coins first so there's no going back."

Oh come on, this is perfectly logical and shouldn't be the slightest bit surprising to anyone.
The government is nothing more than the strongest mafia to occupy a particular geographic region.
This particular mafia has some friends who have done them some favors in exchange for the mafia using their guns to making sure those friends don't have to worry about competitors. If the peasants were allowed to produce their own electricity it would cause the mafia's cronies to lose money, therefore the mafia is acting to prevent this.
They are just doing what mafias do.

Piracy is serious! Kanye West couldn't afford a 3 shark tank, he had to buy a 2 shark tank because of piracy!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGM8PT1eAvYDon't take away money
From artists just like me
How else can I afford another solid gold Hum V
And diamond studded swimming pools
These things don't grow on trees
So all I ask is everybody Please
[Chorus]
Don't Download This Song (Don't do it No No)
Even Lars Urlich Know it's wrong (You could just ask him)
Go and buy the CD like you know that you should (You Really Should)
Oh Don't Download This Song |

As for cryptoanarchist, here he shows that he does not understand the rocket equation. More basic than that, his error is in not understanding the relation between velocity and momentum. or gravitational potential energy, or Newton's laws of motion... |

I don't really need math to spot such an obvious fraud. It's pretty simple: It took a Saturn rocket to take off from earth, but only something the size of a Lincoln Navigator to take off from the moon. Does that really require anything more than common sense to see that that's bullshit? What's your deal anyway? Are you here to give crypto anarchists a bad reputation by acting mathematically illiterate? |

it isnt illegal to buy or sell btc so what exactly would they sting? It's happened before. There's a thread on the forum somewhere where somebody talks about getting caught in a sting operation. Do you have the link for that? I can't find it any more. The last time I saw it the OP had deleted all his posts, but the original story was still available in the quotes. |

It's pretty easy to figure out to me. The moon's gravity is 1/6th of the earth's. Look at the NASA picture I posted of the fake spacecraft - does that in any way seem like 1/6th of a Saturn rocket? Keep in mind that the bottom portion supposedly stayed on the moon and just the top half takes off. It's about the size of a SUV. Logically, that would mean that the Saturn rockets would have only needed to be the size of about 6 SUVs. That and about 1000 other things don't add up. Next time you're trying to figure out how big a spacecraft needs to be, try using math instead of just guessing. |

Had these instruction been included in Sandy Bridge processors it would have been a big deal.
|
|
|
|
|
So a CPU containing these instructions might produce about 6 Mhps/watt?
|
|
|

It probably isn't very good. A single SHA-256 operation takes 139 instructions; 2 would take at least 278. Peak instruction rate is 177730 MIPS for the best processors, and this won't even approach the peak speed. So the speed would be far less than 600 MHz, which is hardly any better than a high-end GPU. Is that per processor, or per core? |

|
|
Is anyone who is capable of making an educated guess about how the hash/watt values Intel could achieve with this as compared to current ASICs, and who is willing to be quoted, is invited to send me a PM.

A lot of buyers don't understand how the site works. You should fund the sale through your LocalBitcoins wallet, and use the web site or SMS code to release the coins to the buyer's LBC wallet once you receive payment.

2)Get a HARDWARE WALLET like Trezor
Hardware wallet weren't available back in april but they are now. So go and get one. Problem solved.
The problem is never truly solved. |
|
|
|
This is exactly what LocalBitcoins was invented for. It looks like there are two sellers in the LA area with high transaction counts and 100% positive feedback. |

the easiest online method would probably be to load dollars into a Dwolla account and buy that way There is a report that Dwolla screwed a Bitcoin user: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1h9iyv/psa_dwolla_worse_than_paypal_for_accepting/And this is from new Dwolla TOS: You understand and agree that You will not engage in the following activities:
Use of the Dwolla System, without Dwolla's written consent, to operate or engage in any business regulated by FinCEN, including the money service business;
Use of the Dwolla System without registering as a money services business if required by FinCEN's March 18, 2013 Guidance entitled "Application of FinCEN's Regulations to Persons Administering, Exchanging, or Using Virtual Currencies" (FIN-2013-G0001);
Act as a marketplace and/or exchange for virtual currency products without Dwolla's prior written consent, and FinCEN registration if applicable; I didn't say there was zero risk involved, but mostly the risk on the seller's side, not the buyer's. |

Any chance of a binary for OSX being released in the future?
I'm willing to beta test this if you need someone.
Sorry, but it's very unlikely. I don't have any Apple devices. There working VMware images of various versions of OSX floating around the 'net, or so I've heard. |

I'm having trouble seeing any value whatsoever in wallet encryption.
Given the amount of computing power available to attackers (botnets, GPU mining farms, etc), you'd need to use scrypt parameters so onerous (multiple days on a regular PC) that there would be a significant chance of a single-bit error occurring during the calculations.
