Voluntary exchange is what produces growth because both parties benefit -- not just lots of trades. In contrast, printing new fiat money (aka counterfeiting) is a form of involuntary exchange or theft. As I said, this is just hypocritical. If you call inflation theft then you are inconsistent when you don't call deflation an involuntary theft from those who invest to those who put the money in the safe. Is it wrong if I hld my Fiat-euro's in cash instead of bidding up the price of bread at the supermarket? Am I hurting anyone else if I decide to keep physical money in my pocket instead of lending it out to the bank against interest? Why would hoarding individuals be thieves if everyone has the exact same opportunity to enjoy the benefits of the appreciating money? It's called a market (which includes ordinary money transactions); a summary of millions of individual transactions between millions of individuals. No more, no less. If hoarding becomes a problem, it is individuals reacting to bad influences from the outside (usually: government policies). |

Bitcoin is a protocol. We just need a Steve Jobs to make it accessable for our moms  Give it time. It always does. |

If people would lose faith, they would not have lost that many (worthless BTC). On the contrary, the fact that they would consider themselves 'scammed' would prove BTC's enduring value. The same would apply to outsiders (if you lost something with no value, why are you crying about it? Apparently, you lost something that you valued very much). Happing investing to all |

Voluntary decentralized non-human controlled currency backed by people.
It's got everything that fiat-money doesn't have:
*centralized
*mandatory (for taxes)
*human-controlled (central banks, politics)
*backed by decree

MONTHLY PAYMENTS SENT:
Interest payments have been sent to depositors for the month of May.
Hi OgNasty, I kindly ask you to return the principal sum, because I need it for other purposes. I look forward to receive your confirmation. Regards, Wekkel |

Got 6% instead of 8% ?
Take a look at the agreement you approved. You only received 6% because your deposit was only held for 3/4s of the month (interest rate period). Let me know if you have any concerns and I'd be happy to address them for you. Rest assured you will receive the full 8% on June 1st. The stupid, it burns... |

I think Microsoft could hit something really big with Windows 8 on Tablets. I do not wonder why Google is desperate to get a sub $250 Tegra 3 tablet on the Market before Windows 8 is rolled out. It's going for the moon if done right -> real business usability for tablets....
Imagine the total rocket if MS also get Windows Phone 8 right at the same moment.
But that is not relevant for Bitcoin of course.

The problem with FPGAs is the recent trend to proprietary products. That is something which I would call antisocial greed. They have no interest in bitcoin and are only selling products for fiat.
So does your Windows computer shop. What's your point here? Frankly, I don't care whether someone wants to use fiat money alongside other (private) alternatives. The trend to FPGAs is simply market mechanics. I wish the gamblers with their FPGA-farms good luck and am happy to see my future BTC payments processed by the grace of FPGA-farms. It's all connected. |

Just an example I could think of:
You want to make payment in BTC now, but must acquire BTC first. Solution: you lend BTC now, and acquire BTC right thereafter in exchange for dollars afterwards to pay back the loan. Could still be cheaper than regular payment if the fees are stiff.
For Europe however, that would hardly be a viable reason due to free SEPA payments within the EU-zone.

Confirmed for good VB.NET job done against fair price (and quick). I am considering to prepare an assignment for a larger job. Pricing remains secret to respect the OP's business.

What can you do with .NET (in Visual Basic)?
I need some basic code operating data from text boxes to Datasets or whatever, ultimately to be written in a Word document.

Went through 11 pages.
Not a single clue on:
*the investment required
*time frame
*prospects on mining capacity
*view on development of Bitcoin prices the next few years
*prospects on ROI for investors, their position etc
*etc
I appreciate that it's not a prospectus, but you aren't giving any clues whatsoever. I wish you good luck with your enterprise.

What's the point of showing update headers here if you can inform subscribers by e-mail? But deflation is welcome (as in: lower prices).  |
