Do you have all the blocks? What about the wallet?

About transactions, if you lost your wallet then of course you have no transactions

Come bitcoin, con l'aggiunta che puņ essere usato per registrare siti. Il dominio viene registrato nella blockchain quindi uno puņ accedere a quel sito tramite essa. Nessuno puņ dunque oscurarlo o bloccarlo o altro. Ma ovviamente per potervi accedere uno deve conoscere namecoin e aver la blockchain.

Sure then why it keep writing like a mad for 12 hours? Open blockchain, add block, save blockchain->write down 800MB of things.
4165  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin disadvantages for non-technician users on: October 16, 2011, 09:10:01 PM
And i said nothing about the fact that during that 12+ hours the hard disk keep writing, writing and writing. Probably for every block it receive it rewrite the whole blockchain (adding the new block in it).

The client sucks. It work more by magic than else

You start it and automagically it
1)create a folder inside your roaming folder, without telling it to you.
2)create your wallet inside that folder too, again, without telling anything to you
3)start to download the whole blockchain, in the same folder
4)if you remove the wallet.dat, it create ANOTHER. It seems it cannot survive without it...  Undecided

And a lot of options can be used in a weird way, and i'm speaking about -rescan and a lot of others. Is it so hard to put some buttons and options on the gui?Huh What about asking about the wallet? What about not auto creating it? What about having the client able to work WITHOUT a wallet?

And then what about a way to download 800MB that doesn't require 12+ hours?

What about putting info on how the things work in the client? Did you ever use TRUECRYPT? It explain you everything and it let you do useful things in an easy way telling you everything about what is happening.

No wonder few people use bitcoins...

The thing that killed bitcoin is this shitty forum.

That and having a mortgage fraudster as official spokesperson.

No legitimate company will touch bitcoin with a 50 foot barge pole.
That was enough to kill bitcoin? Then bitcoin wasn't such a great thing
4171  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why is the Occupy movement not immediately embracing bitcoin? on: October 15, 2011, 08:45:00 PM
Well you wouldn't be able to legally use bitcoins that are in an illegal address...

What about pool hopping? Is this pool (well, the miners of that pool) hurt by them?
4174  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Here are the facts... on: October 15, 2011, 04:40:27 PM
Maybe its just me personally but I read over 500 words per minute

You can read them, but can you actually comprehend 500 wpm? Kind of explains why you never seemed to grasp what was being told to you in the IP thread.
Oh well, forcing me to watch a video doesn't help in comprehending.

Yes, others have tried this. I almost set this up. But unfortunately the prices charged by the companies make it a non sustaining business model.
They are used to taking 50% because it is usually someone texting to get their horoscope/love rating or some other complete bullshit.
And they deserve to spend as much as possible  Cheesy
4176  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why can't i access my bitcoins ?? on: October 15, 2011, 04:04:44 PM
Bitcoin is not a get rich quick scheme, don't expect to become rich via donations or mining. Sure, if the price increase and you have bitcoins you get richer, but it's hard.

Roman empire once had more money than needed, following some successful conquests and A LOT of money. They abolished the taxes for some decades.

But a government having a surplus? It's a bit impossible since it has a lot of expenses and the only income is from taxes... if you remove taxes you only have expenses...
4179  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why is the Occupy movement not immediately embracing bitcoin? on: October 15, 2011, 03:40:28 PM
Since when something being illegal stop it from happens?

So many videos  Shocked  Given that the average person reads at over 3 times the speed at which they listen, giving him youtube links is literally wasting 2/3 of his time.

Try reading the financial pages of a serious newspaper every day for a week.

I recall the old adage "a picture is worth a thousand words." How many films can you watch in an afternoon compared to novels? Besides, the OP asks a question with a complex answer that is very much a matter of opinion. It helps to have some background information to help decide for yourself about the answers. Considering that some major financial newspapers are owned by a publisher that will close down a 170 y/o newspaper for extremely unethical behavior, I'm not sure what constitutes a serious newspaper anymore.
A picture must be used when words aren't enough.

But a video instead of words? Useless, you force a person to lose 10 minutes watching something, where he could read the same thing in a minute (and at the rate he prefer)
