You don't know what Godwin's Law is, do you? It basically says that the probability of someone mentioning Hitler in an Internet discussion approaches 1 with time, and that's just what has happened here. So, yes, yes Godwin. this is fallacious to imply im bringing an uneducated trollturdish argument when just stating a fact. what now? cant we even talk about socialism and its paganistic mass-murderish tendencies? you guys are so uptight and wide open - ready to get screwed - at the same time.. Why was socialism brought in the first place? Your argument basically boils down to “Your 20 MB proposal is a socialist idea, and Hitler was socialist, and everything Hitler did is bad, and therefore your proposal is bad”. Besides this, I see no point at all to mentioning socialism in this thread. ignoratio elenchi

Where would one go to find this magical coins? (buy them)
The easiest (but not cheapest) way would be to actually mine them. The other option is to find a miner willing to sell them before they have any transactions. Would there be a high demand for this kind of coins? I am planning to make a service which sells only virgin coins for a fee (3-5%) I believe people would want them for privacy reasons and novelty reasons. What do you think?
I don't think so. Bitcoin is meant to be fungible, so 25 recently mined coins should have the same exact value as 25 coins mined in 2009. Maybe there are eccentric people willing to pay more for them, but in my opinion it's kind of stupid. |

what do you mean with fresh bitcoin? really confused here  perhaps you mean owing the entire block without splitting it with others? Bitcoin has an algorithm for creating and distributing new coins. That's the reward miners receive. You can read more about it here: http://www.coindesk.com/information/how-bitcoin-mining-works/(edit: changed link to a more relevant explanation) |

no godwin, just carve this in your little brain.
You don't know what Godwin's Law is, do you? It basically says that the probability of someone mentioning Hitler in an Internet discussion approaches 1 with time, and that's just what has happened here. So, yes, yes Godwin. btw faschism = state + corporation = gavin sponsored fork  I don't know why you people think that adding emoticons to your statements somehow validates them more or something. |

Both sides are claiming the other side is the minority. How can we objectively know who is right?

its more than time to end socialism.  As amusing as it is to see some idiot mistake Adolf Hitler for a socialist..... I think we had reached the Godwin Limit long, long before this normally-reliable indicator appeared. Well, to be fair, the Nazi Party was “National Socialism”. But yeah, I agree that we're beyond the Godwin Limit. |

I doubt you meant to advocate socialism, but that's what's going on here.
You say this as if it were a bad thing. |

but for in-person/point of sale transacting, the waits for confirmations will really hold it back
Again, merchants can accept unconfirmed transactions in this case, and they do in real usage. |

Who controls that account? Is it anyone from this forum? |

between New Years Eve and Bitcoin anniversary (31-Dec and 03-Jan)
This would be the worst time ever. People are celebrating New Year during these days (yes, even in Jan 2 and 3 people aren't quite back to their routine). They would just not remember or not care about it. |

In the distant future I can see some sort of limited proof of stake being added if necessary.
How is the proof algorithm related to lost coins? |

Criticism often comes to online wallet providers (Xapo, Coinbase, etc) saying, if you don't own your private keys, you don't actually own your bitcoin. On the other hand....
If you dont have the private keys, maybe the wallet service own and manage your private keys, the problem is if you want to change your wallet but keep your addys, that will not be possible because you don't have your private keys. At last who have the privatekeys have the addys, if you trust them is on, but any time you want they can do what they want with your btc because they own your addys. Why is this relevant? You shouldn't be reusing addresses anyway. |

People who are “sick of the confirmation time” don't understand that you can accept payments with 0 confirmations just fine.
Still it doesn't help when you want to move your funds to an exchange or some other place that doesn't allow you to use your money without multiple confirmations. I had a number of transactions with a normal fee, that took more than an hour to confirm, which is quite annoying. In my experience as a buyer, when I've paid for stuff online, I've never had to wait for 1 confirmation. Most payments went through BitPay, who gladly accepts 0 confirmations. The issue with exchanges... well, their business is to handle money, so it's reasonable for them to be totally sure they get the confirmation. |

I think and animated logo in showing the cryptocurrencies animating in a loop in the infinity symbol. I dont have time to develop it now. I am working on other things just to give an idea.
How would you print an animated logo? |

Just as a side note, both Firefox and Chrome update themselves, as well as Internet Explorer, via Windows Update.

I currently have a Ledger Wallet, and I'm storing all my bitcoins there (not many, but yes). If they are to be trusted, then my private keys are unhackable, and if I ever lose it or forget my PIN, then I have my recovery 24-word seed.

IF you can't trust yourself to keep a hold of your own money safely then maybe bitcoin isn't for you.
Right now. But if we plan Bitcoin to be a world currency, we need to have apps and services that are easy and secure to use for everyone. (and yes, some of them will need trust) |

I just cannot see why people cannot just print out a paper wallet and laminate and store it in a safe place? This takes 10 minutes.
It takes you 10 minutes, but ask my mother set up a paper wallet, and she will be lost. Truth is, paper wallets are not as easy to use for the common people. |
