This is just plain wrong, and censorship. I think if this continues this should be called the "unofficial bitcoin forum".
Is this the official bitcoin forum? I mean, I'm pretty sure bitcoin is about as decentralized as it gets. This forum in no way governs Bitcoin. It's more like a fanboy site that got popular. As for it's "censorship", anyone is welcome to go someplace else. It's just run by a few guys with some spare time on their hands. Hell, go make your own site if you want and call it the official bitcoin forum. This forum is no different than Facebook, 4chan, Reddit, or any other website and forum. People consider this the official bitcoin forum since Satoshi was using it, is that not a valid conclusion? Ehh.. not really. He stopped using this forum a long time ago. And Satoshi isn't Bitcoin. If Bill Gates used Facebook, does that make Facebook Microsoft's (Windows) official social media website? The dude didn't even operate this website as far as I am aware of. He's probably posted on many other websites as well. That doesn't make this site, or any others more or less special than another. Let alone official. I think the forums URL was forum.bitcoin.com. If seems pretty official.

1 BTC seems too good, whats wrong with it? Is it haunted?

I saw Try Inputs.io and you'll never go back. Instant offchain payments, no fees, while being secure and easy to use on the factoids slot, how did that get there? I thought those were interesting factoids not ads, do they stay there? Also, there are some duplicates like There are many Bitcoin clients, but so far only Satoshi's original Bitcoin client (Bitcoin-Qt) is capable of acting as a full node. Full nodes follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks

Does it require more fees when more transactions are behind it? I used to use faucets a lot, and I just sent a transaction, and it has a bunch of faucet transactions. That makes the transaction bigger, which requires more fees, right?

Companies will let you exchange them for newer versions, for a price.

People. People. Calm down. The bitcoin hash rate is big, and that car is on steroids.

I assume someone has already mentioned bitmessage.org (even though it's not email) it could replace email someday as a secure alternative.
Unless it becomes possible to send and receive messages to non-bitmessage users I highly doubt it will gain much acceptance. There's too much network effect to overcome. It is already possible to configure Thunderbird mail client to route mail through the bitmessage network ... it will become just another protocol layer option like POP, IMAP, SMTP, etc. Is there a tutorial? If so, I would love to do this.

I am trying to be as secure when browsing as possible with all the NSA surveillance. So I am trying to find some good privacy plugins. I currently use NoScript, DNTme, and sometimes a VPN/Proxy. Are there any others you would suggest? I am using Firefox Beta. Thanks!

Three more days! Just to clarify, TF, my signature is good, right?

This reminded me to go and check on my Pyramining account. I had a %400 bonus. Thanks for the reminder, and good idea BTW. Join under my referral link and you will get a larger bonus, too! Link is in my sig.

Yes, but make it so you get a small amount of satoshi for every block, not just ores. Also, can you PLEASE release the plugin you use to the public? Even if it is closed source, I would love to use it. Let me know if you need a tester / Admin! I go on minecraft a lot. Plus, I am good with YMLs and I run my own server.

It is fine here, I think it has something to do with the update.

Nice, once it is released, will it be cheaper? $100 is a lot.

I would use if it came out, but only for free. Who knows? Snowden may use it someday. PGP encryption built in would be nice.

It is certainly a large stir, but not large enough to fluctuate the price.

* whiskers75 is really disliked. Nobody hates you, just they disagree with you. Although, you are disliked a lot. Anyway I am on your side. Correction: * whiskers75 is really disagreed with.

So, this is NOT a alternative coinchat client, it is an alternative to coinchat itself?
