No, it shouldn't, as that's not what the term "market capitalisation" means. Market capitalisation only ever includes shares that are actually held by shareholders, not treasury shares or unissued shares. It's an important distinction because every single satoshi that has ever been mined can be linked to the address of whoever currently holds it, just as every share of a company is owned by a particular shareholder, and you can point to that person and say "this person has this many bitcoins and they're worth this much". And you can add up all these people to get the total wealth that people are actually holding in bitcoins. That's what market capitalisation means.

Unmined bitcoins do not form part of the wealth held by any individual, and therefore are completely worthless. As far as the economy is concerned, it's as if they don't even exist. The fact that they will exist sometime in the future doesn't change the fact that they don't exist now, and therefore shouldn't be counted.

Of course, this depends on how important it is to close the jar afterwards...

"Unspent" means you haven't spent the coins after receiving them - not surprising if you haven't yet received them.

"Estimated BTC Transacted" is just an educated guess as to which of the two addresses is the intended recipient and which is the "change". It is not always accurate, and the inaccuracy is nothing to worry about - as long as one of the addresses (it doesn't matter which) is yours and has the correct amount, then nothing has gone wrong.

They're correct. The coins indeed have been sent, and the transaction was confirmed nearly two weeks ago. If you haven't received them, the problem is on your end.

^^ This. If your client says (out of sync), then don't panic. Just wait until your client has finished synchronising (which may take several days, and note that you must leave the client open during this time (though you don't have to do it all in one session - it'll pick up where it left off if you close and restart it)) and your coins will appear. If you still don't have your coins after it has finished synchronising, then you may resume panicking.

No, there is not a chance. Any such figures are educated guesses at best. Damn anonymity.

Please don't use that version. It is ridiculously out of date and doesn't even support encrypted wallets. Uninstall it, and either install it from sid (not squeeze-backports), or from the tarball at bitcoin.org.

You humans never fail to disappoint me.

Citation needed. No wallet software that I know of will execute a payment from a URI without clearly displaying the amount and address and requiring some form of confirmation from the user.

It's not just a big bank. The Commonwealth Bank was actually Australia's central bank before the establishment of the Reserve Bank of Australia in 1960, and was not fully privatised until 1996. They've also been well aware of Bitcoin for quite some time now. This is big news.

Uh, you do realise that this forum doesn't allocate "shares" of posting time based on your mobile carrier, right? No website does. That doesn't make any sense. What are you even talking about?

MtGox is American now?

I love the way Bitcoin lets me send money anywhere in the world, any time of day, any day of the week, even on public holidays, with no limits, and have the funds clear in ten minutes, all for just a fraction of a cent in transaction fees.

Tuesday, you mean. Monday's a holiday in the U.S.

On average, 13.7% per month (360% per year).

What do you mean by "it doesn't work"? What program are you using? Are you getting any error messages? Note that it'll take several years or even decades to find a block solo on a PC, so if nothing in particular seems wrong but you're just not earning any bitcoins, that's perfectly expected and you should either join a pool or get used to disappointment.

The client will display (out of sync) if the timestamp of the most recent block (currently 220886) is too far off your system clock. If there was nothing wrong before you adjusted your system clock, and now it is out of sync despite not having any more blocks to download, then most likely your clock was correct originally, and is now wrong. Are you sure your clock is set to the correct time zone?

Luke-Jr would disagree. The units are totally arbitrary. There is nothing special about the number 100,000,000 that makes 100,000,000 satoshi anything more than just 100,000,000 satoshi. You might as well say that 12 ounces of gold are a "set" because you have a "whole" pound.

Send out your 6 chairs individually. And watch the delivery fees stack up. Doesn't matter whether the chairs are part of a set or not. It doesn't make the chairs "more valuable" for the recipient to receive them in a single shipment, it just means he has to pay less fees. The market value of the chairs is exactly the same regardless of what fees he had to pay. And the same goes for bitcoins.

Half a bitcoin is not worth any less than half the value of a whole one. A satoshi is worth exactly 100,000,000th of a bitcoin. A bitcoin is worth exactly as much as the sum of its parts. A bitcoin does not by any stretch of the imagination meet the definition of a "set of possessions".

I do, and so do a lot of other people here.

Really? I always thought real estate was denominated in square feet. Next you'll be telling us that gold isn't denominated in ounces and oil isn't denominated in barrels.

Um, yeah. And then they sell because... wait for it... the price is too high for comfort. What's your point?

You've got the bid and ask mixed up. The "ask" is what people want to sell (they "ask" for a particular price for the coins they're selling) and the "bid" is what people want to buy (they "bid" a particular price for the coins they want).

In that case, there is absolutely no reason why you need to know about this, and also no way you could make use of the information if you did. Whatever gave you the idea that you need to be messing with this stuff?

The "to address" is the information in ScriptPubKey. If this is your address, the coins are already in your wallet, and you do not need to do anything to transfer them (if they are not in your wallet, the problem is with your wallet, not ScriptPubKey). If it is not your address, the coins aren't yours, and you cannot transfer them under any circumstances.
