@SgtSpike
I guess that 1stbits stuff would be a great implementation to Bitmessage as well.
Don't you think so?
Yeah, not a bad idea! |

1.6 for the lot.
Sorry, I have to stick by the rules I originally set. Minimum bid increment is 0.25 BTC! |

I've sent someone who lives in the UK a Casascius coin via USPS Priority Mail on 6/2/13, from Oregon, USA. The tracking number shows that the most recent activity was the package departing from my city.
I had also recently sent a Casascius coin to someone in Spain, and they received it in just a few days. This one has taken 18 days with no tracking updates (though I know USPS tends to not have many tracking points).
Has anyone else sent items to the UK from the US? How long did it take to arrive? Did you get any tracking updates between the time it shipped and the time it arrived? Is there anything we can do to track down this package in particular?

SgtSpike, why are you everywhere I look when I do something related to bitcoins o.o
Hmmm... because I like Bitcoins?  |

The poll question posed makes no sense - i don't mean logically I mean literally no sense maybe OP can elaborate on what they are trying to say.
Butterfly Labs has started shipping - hashrates are as promised, power draw is much higher but they are delivering.
They never held your funds hostage. At any point in the process you had the option of getting a refund.
You could try suing them but I doubt it would get very far.
From what I gather you want to say something like 'The delays of Y months cost me $X in profit i would have made by mining bitcoin with their product. They promised me it would be delivered by such and such date and it wasn't.'
Their lawyer will argue
'If they didn't deliver on time why didn't you get a refund and invest in some other product like Avalon?'
at which point you will say something like
'well they promised it would be only 2 more weeks'
'Did they deliver in 2 more weeks?'
'no'
'They why didn't you get a refund and invest in some other product like Avalon?'
The fact that you didn't get a refund means that you implicitly agreed to the delays. No one forced you to wait and the fact that BFL didn't meet their timelines won't be an issue because at any point you had a way out.
point taken. what about the people who sent BTC a year ago? These are in horrible situation because now they would get only 1/10 of BTC back as a refund... Those people took a calculated risk to invest in Bitcoin mining machinery instead of Bitcoins themselves. The prices for BFL machines are in USD, so BFL refunds in USD. |

I think they should be renamed to "Peace Officers", drop the guns, have a google glass-type of face mounted camera, a shield, and a taser. Their only responsibility should be to stop any and all violence. Then killing a police officer would legitimately be a heinous crime. Leave investigation to investigators who use voluntary means of obtaining information.
How would they stop gunmen though? Are the shields they have bulletproof? Even for large calibers? If that's the case, I suppose I can see them making a wall to approach a gunman. They couldn't very well take chase after a gun-wielding runner though. taser You'll have to be a bit more descriptive than that. Tasers aren't accurate to very much distance. And you don't want to run 10 feet behind someone with a gun when you don't have something to defend yourself with. I guess they could track a runner via helicopter or something. |

Guys dont worry this wont be a problem just do be stupid and click on retarded links.
It's less stupid links, more typing in the wrong address. I know I've typed in blockchain.com without thinking about it more than once. If it came up to a site that looked exactly like blockchain.info, I'd be concerned for people who aren't paying attention who do the same thing. |

Bumping this up there...!

You guys do realize that he was attempting to sell it to blockchain.info? They denied it.  Also, he DID sell btc-c.com, as proven by this screenshot:  Bad move on blockchain.info's part. If it turns into a phishing site, they're going to lose hundreds of wallets to successful phishing attempts. Regarding the existing bitc-e site, can't it be reported to all the anti-phishing filters for the various browser platforms? That would at least help... |

Question for everyone who does NOT believe in the bible. If it turns out that Bitcoin (or another world currency) does quite literally fulfill that prophecy at some point in the future, would you begin to believe the bible might be true?

Funny how noone talks about how he is supposed to cash them out and get the actual money in his hands.
Localbitcoins hong kong? he is basically a celebrity right now, it shouldn't be that hard for him to find someone. That sounds like an excellent way for authorities to nab him. "I want to buy BTC. Please arrive at coffee shop on 10th street at 6 PM. We'll I'll meet you there." Turns out Snowden has been holed up in Hong Kong, burning through all his credit cards to get this message to the world.
He's pretty much sacrificed everything for the good of us all. (Emphasis mine.) Citation needed. Here is a source saying he does not want your money: Edward Snowden’s Hong Kong Interview: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know. Quoting from the same: Snowden also commented on the petitions and funds that have been setup in support of the whistleblower:
"I’m very grateful for the support of the public, but I ask that they act in their interest – save their money for letters to the government that breaks the law and claims it noble." Which adds to his cred. But the reality is eventually he will run out of money and/or all funds for him will get cut off or frozen. Whether he wants to accept it or not, he'll need financial support at that point. Or maybe not. He was making $200k/year. Whose to say he hasn't stashed enough to live off of for the rest of his life in a suitcase somewhere? My opinion: Respect what he says when he says he doesn't want our money. |

For what it's worth, I did begin to run in to some significant slowdowns when I hit 75,000-100,000 addresses in a single wallet. There IS a practical limit to the number of addresses that can/should be kept.
Bitpay, for example, reuses their addresses. I don't know how large a pool of addresses they keep, but I've noticed that payments I have made through bitpay are sent to addresses that have previously received coins already.

Lets start this,
64@1
I mean by that 1btc for all 64 Yes, this auction is for all 64. I am not splitting them up. All bids are assumed to be for all 64 chip credits. Thanks for allowing me to clarify. |
|

|

Timer removed. End time: 2013-06-21
Bidding ends 15 minutes after the last bid or after the timer above runs out, whichever comes later.
Bidding starts at 1 BTC for all 64 credits. Bids must be in increments of at least 0.25.

Redirect upon form submission is useless - the form is still originally submitted over HTTP, so the information goes over clear text. Afterwards you get redirected, but your security has already been compromised.
Which is why I agree with you that, if https were to be implemented for search queries, it should start at the homepage. HTTPS traffic takes up more server resources than HTTP traffic. It takes up more CPU and RAM. Given that blockchain.info is a free service I see no reason why the webmaster should spring for more servers just to please some people.
If you are paranoid about this you should use the HTTPS version. Bookmark it and always visit the site via the bookmark.
But there's this too. It certainly increases real costs to implement HTTPS on every page, not to mention that pages will generally load slower for users. |

You are technically correct, it is a new BLOCK that is generated every 10 minutes.
However, that doesn't change my conclusion: The is very little correlation between price and difficulty.
Price is determined by the public agreeing on what they think a Bitcoin is worth - nothing else.
And what they think a Bitcoin is worth is partly determined by changes in the difficulty. Not totally, but partly. I would agree. As mining becomes more difficult with specialized mining equipment required, people will be more likely to buy instead of mine to acquire the BTC they want. |
