How much do you think it would cost? I ask since there are such things as SMS capable remote control systems, some of which are already used in SCADA and other industrial systems (ignoring the security implications of this, but whatever  ). Here is an example of a consumer device I found: http://www.uvi-group.com/PRODUCTS/html/?161.html |

Even MD5 was broken, and it was used for the SSL CA system for a while. So it's true that vulnerabilities can be found later. The thing is, Bitcoin uses more than one form of cryptography: SHA256, RIPEMD-160, and ECDSA.
Breaking SHA256 would be pretty monumental, but it wouldn't allow you to spend peoples' coins for them. To do that, you would need to break ECDSA, which is comparatively new.

Actually I think it would be useful if the forum software would enable that automatically upon account creation, although that could lead to ballooning disk space.
Compared to all the forums posts, PMs shouldn't require significant disk space. True, I suppose so. |

Parapian's on a streak! First bitcoinica, now TizzyTazzy, what scam...
Woh... what happened to Tiz? Revealed as a previous scammer when a different trade went haywire. |

 Awesome job with the watercooling!

There was another thread in which someone was asking about an app for Radiant systems. Do you have any experience with those, or do you feel that it could be an option?

@nmteaco - what shopping cart are you using?
He mentioned 3dcart - I'm assuming it's this: http://www.3dcart.com/EDIT: It looks like it actually integrates or plugs in directly to QB, which is actually pretty cool. |

Will you take care of getting all those annoying commuters and pedestrians off my Brooklyn Bridge when I pull the purchase? I can't be bothered to deal with such things before arranging it the way I like with the rest of my curio collection.

Oh really? http://www.talentzoo.com/digital-pivot/blog_news.php?articleID=6221 In general, courts globally seem to be treating virtual crime just as they would any real-world crime: If a person is found guilty of stealing, killing, ruining, or otherwise destroying an online-gaming experience for a person or group of persons, the penalties enacted will be similar to punishment of real-world crime, with noted exceptions. For example, killing an avatar will not be met with a life sentence in prison. However, the monetary loss sustained by the player will be comparable to real-world money loss, and criminals will end up with fines, probation, or even jail.
Hedge #1 "In general" Hedge #2 "seem to be" Two hedges for one sentence = weak sauce. Then there's the part you didn't quote: "Complaints about people’s identities and possessions being stolen within a game have been made before," said Rob Fahey, games analyst and former editor of gamesindustry.biz. "But because it exists only in a virtual world it is hard to say whether they are of any real value in the real world.
The resale of characters and their possessions is often against the rules set down by the makers of the games, but there are no criminal laws banning it. tl;dr U FAILRight, so you are ignoring the actual case law rulings (granted, Dutch law, but so what), and instead pointing out other parts of the article that don't have any bearing on Bitcoin outside of games. I would say you are the one that is failing here. |

Although the BTC is recognized and has built a brand, I don't particularly like it, and prefer the latin B with horizontal bar. Additionally, the latin B has no pre-existing connotations that I know of that we need to worry about, whereas the existing B is the symbol for the existing Thai Baht fiat currency.

The current problem is that MtGox has a very long delay on Dwolla transfers.  You also have to go through an arduous verification process, and the wait time is 7-14 days and sometimes longer. https://paysius.com/ has lower fees then Bit-pay, and they pay out to Dwolla, but they also don't support your cart (although there is a php library available). Bit-pay actually pays out via ACH, and actually bypasses Dwolla completely. I think the current state of merchant providers is that they just need some adoption and growth, and with that we might start to see more extensive cart support, lower fees, and so forth. For a business that can't be guaranteed a revenue stream from Bitcoining nerds, it may not be worthwhile to set up in the first place, but the more places that accept it, the more the word gets out on the street. It's a chicken and egg problem, and it may be 10 years or more before Bitcoin truly becomes mainstream. |

Now you need to quote the US Case Law.
That was the first handy link, I don't have time to chase down all the others. |

And Vladimir used to be so level headed. This sure has got his panties in a bunch.
He's not the only one that's started living full time in BTC Fantasy Land. You can tell which ones have gone off the deep end easily. They're the ones who actually believe that the Police Cops are going to ring up Interpol's cybercrime unit for the sake of tracking down their stolen/scammed BTC. As if any law enforcement agency in the world has a Cryptocoin Recovery Division, or cares in the least about their Magic Internet Money. They've completely lost it ('it' being contact with consensus reality). Oh really? http://www.talentzoo.com/digital-pivot/blog_news.php?articleID=6221 The argument for punishment is that many of these games take years to master to the point where the online character begins to effectively navigate through the virtual world. The players invest their time, effort, and money into building their online personages, so many courts are looking at the thefts in much the same way they would look at the theft of any other valuable possession. In 2008, a group of boys in the Netherlands attacked and threatened a RuneScape player, so that he would turn over a chain and amulet. The Dutch court set a precedent in the case, stating that virtual goods are the same as real goods, and the boys were convicted of theft.
In general, courts globally seem to be treating virtual crime just as they would any real-world crime: If a person is found guilty of stealing, killing, ruining, or otherwise destroying an online-gaming experience for a person or group of persons, the penalties enacted will be similar to punishment of real-world crime, with noted exceptions. For example, killing an avatar will not be met with a life sentence in prison. However, the monetary loss sustained by the player will be comparable to real-world money loss, and criminals will end up with fines, probation, or even jail.
The lesson here: If you can't to the time, then don't commit cyber-crime. |

So about 5 times better than current LX150 chips/bitstreams in terms of hash rate per watt, is that about right? And this is on 130nm? Are you able to guess how much improvement might be had with a straight die shrink?

Have at me! I might as well be the first one to get stones thrown at.

You'll need those stones, since you have no others to speak of. |
