Maybe BFL are using the preordered miners to mine for themselves in the meantime?

We couldn't find Satoshi  but we stumbled across Sherlock

You submit your private keys to CoinValidation and they remove coins from unvalidated addresses and escrows them until the sender validates, automatic in the case you use coinbase.

You bears are not helping to stop the rally with all these double bottoms all over the place. Grin The last one has just been formed at 740$ with hardly 2 hours in between.

We bears don't move as one.

What the difference when it comes to buying/selling stuff when BTC will grow? Instead of paying 1 BTC you will pay 0.001 BTC etc. I dont see any problem with it as long as you can "translate(?)" the BTC to USD/EUR etc.

Exactly!

Bitcoin was supposed to be used as a currency, not as a toy for speculators.

Yeah , bitcoin was supposed to do  lots of things.
There are people here that said bitcoin will reduce poverty in Africa (how ? , beats me).

Well , guess what , it doesn't do most the things it was supposed to do , but in the future it might.

Average 3rd world person in poverty, has no bank account. They have no real means of even amassing wealth safely. Tack on to this, that services like Paypal and others all needed some "Exchange" end to be value, none of which was cash, prohibits them from participating.

Now, some guy can post services , get a small micro wallet, and very good chance he can exchange it one way or another. With 0 fear of some corp just jacking his funds over some KYC issues etc. The real potential is for the world of people excluded from normal banking and savings. IT will just take time and adoption.

Of course my friend..
We have no water , no electricity , food only from the UN help funds , but we can store our "wealth" in a wallet.
Problems solved , we're going to Italy to buy Ferraris.
6492  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Could preferring blocks with more txs help solve the small blocksize issue? on: November 22, 2013, 01:39:22 PM
Yeah , but there will be a lot of debate over the size , and the time between.
Overall a good idea, and could be implemented also the other way around  so we might avoid things like this:

https://blockchain.info/block-index/439289/0000000000000007df4a3fd95cc35eec4071e6a9e4dfa3dd81f0273cf3c2ffcd

In another thread it was mentioned that the main reason that mining pools prefer to mine blocks <250 KB is that by doing so they incur less chance of "losing the race" to solve the next block (correct me if I am wrong - this was my interpretation).

But what if the rules were changed so that given 2 possible solutions for the "next block" (new block 123456A or 123456B) that are close enough in time one should not prefer the first one seen but the one with the largest size (or the first only if the sizes are the same or the second is smaller).

Would this help us to get bigger blocks mined and keep the fees to an absolute minimum?


Wouldn't that involve a counter , and a value of min_time between blocks in each a larger block can take over?
This could get messy.

It does one thing : it allows verifiable transfer of a fungible, finite thing : bitcoin. That, in itslef (and some other properties), is huge, and explains the interest for bitcoin and its future.
Bitcoin might reduce poverty in Africa, yes, because it might lead, directly or indirectly, to the end of debt money. Understand it or not, but that would be a HUGE change in our current world, and would indeed help reduce poverty, to put it simply.


Of course , that would explain why some countries were poor even before fiat money
And why Greece has gone bankrupt 7 times during the gold standard.
