61  Economy / Marketplace / Re: How do I find bitcoin accepted ebay sellers? on: September 25, 2015, 12:48:26 AM
Yes, PM the seller first to see if they accept, if they list the item and put BTC as alternative payment, ebay will remove the auction or banned the seller.

Doesn't this worry anyone else? Bitfury is one company that already controls 15% of the mining on the network and now they are going to build something capable of supporting 1000 PH of new mining gear?

Why would anyone worry, if they invested 100 Mil, they are not going to jeopardize it by doing anything malicious

64  Economy / Economics / Re: What you will do if bitcoin price drops to 50$ and you have lots of bitcoin on: September 24, 2015, 08:00:43 PM
if it does, then I will most likely buy more up to about 100 BTC.   lowering my average

I would buy all the Bitcoins I can afford

Too much optimism, I'd say. What if the scenario below happened?

Say most of the major investors and people sold out their coins, and there's no one left but a few couple hundred people who holds btc thinking that somehow it will go up again, Would you be glad and proud that you belong to the thriving and the remaining people of the community of bitcoin or will you have big regrets in the end? Just wondering.

no regrets, and I see Bitcoin as an investment.  If it fails, then it fails, just like other stocks that I invest in.

Lmao PayPal is thinks that they're King and can do whatever they want. The sad part about it is that it's true. Too many people trust in it to go to another payment processor. Losing a couple customers means nothing to them

They are King, what else can you use that is safe.  They do offer buyer and seller protection when you can provide the necessary proofs.

79  Bitcoin / Mining / A Simple Solution to prevent 51%, DoS, and Double Spend attacks on: September 11, 2015, 01:27:12 PM
Would a simple implementation of preventing any miner or pool to submit consecutive blocks solve these attacks?
                     
80  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Would it be easy for Pool operators to steal from miners? on: September 11, 2015, 01:56:26 AM
Lets say for F2Pool, if one of the miners found the hash for the current block, and report it to F2Pool, instead of broadcasting to the blockchain and get reward for the Pool, a few simple line of code can redirect the Hash to an outside miner and they then broadcast it to the blockchain and get the reward.
Nope - can't do that.  The hash is specific for the block header in question.  That block header depends on the content of that block.  So if some 'outside miner' wanted the bitcoin reward, the coinbase transaction would first have to be changed to pay out only to that 'outside miner'.  When that happens, the hash calculated earlier will no longer be valid.

Miners at pools generally cannot scam the pool operators - regardless of traditional pool or P2Pool - for this very reason.

There were some suggestions of actually turning that upside down - e.g. making it so that the individual miner could steal from a pool.  I don't know if any pool has dared implement that.  Further reading (one of several such articles): http://hackingdistributed.com/2014/06/18/how-to-disincentivize-large-bitcoin-mining-pools/

thank you for the clarification.
