A lot of altcoins can confirm in 30 seconds.
So why is bitcoins confirmation at 10 minutes?
Is a 10 minute confirmation a good thing or bad?
Is it possible for bitcoins confirmation time to be sped up?
Which coins are fully confirmed in 30 seconds? |

This happened to a lot of people recently, it can be used to track which addresses are associated with another. For example, if you send money from your wallet and it includes that satoshi in a transaction, the person that sent the satoshi knows that you also own the other sending address. A way to stop this is to send your coins through a mixer.
I am just interested: can you explain how is this possible or provide a link where is it explained please? Sounds like BS. It was just spam. How could sending money to an address make it traceable? |

Anyone who puts their life savings in one investment is so far beyond an "idiot" it's not discuss-able.

Depends how much is in your lifesavings lol. |

also got it... but my adress is not public  ALL addresses are public, as long as there is at least 1 satoshi in it or ever had a balance. I got a random 1 satoshi deposit literally 30 minutes after I first created the address. It was 25 minutes after I made a deposit to that address. This is getting weirder and weirder. They must be just sitting there, or have a script to send it to any new address? Must be a scrypt / bot then. |

There is no gold, silver, or copper of crypto currencies. The Gold:Silver analogy to describe BTC:LTC was just used as an example of relative scarcity. Crypto Currencies are far more closely related to fiat than they are to metals.
And they'll soon probably be far more related to the Zimbabwean Dollar lol. |

Look, we all hate the guy but let's not lower ourselves to trollbox level and make fun of his weight. I do fancy a good trollbox session now and then, but saying something cruel for a brief moment is totally different than writing in a forum post that is saved online indefinitely. Didn't really think that Litecoinguy would go for such a low blow.
Can we make fun of his hair of the frappuchino? I do feel a bit sorry for him though... I think. |

What the hell are you talking about?

I think it's down to convenience mostly - the ease of setup and use of something like Gmail or Hotmail outweighs the potential privacy issues for most people
Most people unfortunately don't seem to care. |

Maybe we can petition to make BitCoinTalk the new Bitcoin Foundation Board
Do you really want all these newbs and fudsters on board? |

soon BTC price will come down
Just wait and watch
Do not hold btc balance now
"Soon"? What are you basing this on? |

I think I felt a bit sorry for him in that video. Am I losing my mind? His morning coffee/dessert stole the show.
It's a frappuchino. it's a fraudachino lol  I've got a feeling he's going to become associated with that Frapp now. |

2 more reasons to resent the patriotic hunger games. frankly, i don't give a satoshi.
I see what you did there. I have a crazy theory. What if it's the NSA gleaning information as people post their tx, thus allowing them to know who you are?
Most people don't seem to be posting them, just saying they got them. |

The guy was asking for help creating a vanity address using "1Enjoy." That's the same as the spamming address.
There's also this guy, who basically confessed it was him: ok guys, this is the last batch. took some training to get it running on high volume.
everyone who will not get any enjoysatochis today, will not get any at all. sorry for the inconvinience, and i hope you enjoy. this is a no offense attack on bitcoin.
it is an attraction and improvement attack. we are fully commited to make bitcoin stronger.
and,,, do not waste so much energy on mining (hey, you use the power of 1-2 nuclear power plants for mining alone). it is neither green nor profitable.
lets start an adwords coin. omitting mining by feeding the coins value by advertisement revenue. and premiums for ad-free coins.
support your local bitcoin community. If he confessed to being Satoshi would you believe him? |

Could a minimum fee not be implemented, one that would make sending 1 satoshi currently futile?
It is. Most of these 1 satoshi transactions will never confirm, and will go away after a week os so. But some do, as some miners include transactions even without a fee. That is how it will necessarily be in a distributed system. They still get sent though and linger in peoples wallets. |

That doesn't mean he didn't get his money back. |
|
|

haha thanks. So people are surprised people can rip other people off and not feel bad about it?
wasn't that why bitcoin was invented? Nope. I think it was invented to be pretty much the opposite. |

Please pardon my english but he's a fucking slimy, disingenuous, incompetent, self-important, lying, useless cunt. Did I leave anything out?
let us not forget Karpeles bailed out the third largest exchange that went down, 17000 BTC, out of his own purse just three years back What one was that? And did he get his money back? |

What's not to get? It's hardly sophisticated humor  . |

Check localbitcoins You can also buy coins in the marketplace here. Have you checked the other exchanges? I'm sure there's some that don't need ID.

Not that I know of... it seems pretty compelling based upon his question regarding "1Enjoy," and his user name. I wonder if this is part of some spamming service where companies will pay to have some stupid message sent via unconfirmed bitcoin transactions. From an advertising standpoint, I'm sure the ability to reach +1 million people would be desirable.
I think it just is some sort of advertising spam. It gets people talking and it's for free. It seems he was just online about fifteen minutes ago. I can't seem to figure out how to search for posts by user name... I'd like to see what else he's been discussing. Edit: Also, the damn time-limits on posts, search, etc. are really a PIA.  I understand the need to repel spammers, but waiting six minutes between posts is just ridiculous. It goes down the more activity you get. |
